The Immortal Points the Way (Part 2)

  "Why are you staring at me like that? Is there a flower on my face?" Little White stared blankly at Feng Junzi, who was taken aback and asked him in surprise.

  "No, no, I just think it's strange, are you a part-time fortune teller?" Xiao Bai hastily explained.

  Feng Junzi smiled: "Not really, I just think it's fun... Do you know who that man and woman were just now?"

  "White Shaofeng: 'I don't know, do you recognize him?'"

  Feng Junzi: "Of course I know him, the man's name is Huang Yusu, he's a director of a large conglomerate, but that conglomerate was founded by his father. The little girl's name is Luo Xi, 'Luo' as in 'Luo water', 'Xi' as in 'the wind blows gently and the water is cold'. Guess who her father is? He's a very famous person in Wuyou City, you must be able to guess, there aren't many celebrities with that surname."

  Bai Shaoliu: "Could it be Luo Shuihan?" He spoke out a name that was like thunder in the ears.

  Feng Junzi: "It's him, Wu You Shu's number one wealthy tycoon, Luo Xue is his treasured darling."

  "Are you familiar with these people?"

  Feng Junzi: "Of course I know him, I've seen him in the gossip magazines. And Huang Yasi knows me too, so I saw him earlier but he didn't come over... Little brother, why did you say 3,000 yuan just now?"

  Bai Shaoliu: "Three thousand yuan is a lot, how much did you say?"

  Feng Junzi smiled: "If it were me, I'd say he wouldn't give me three million. I think that kid, no matter how rich he is, wouldn't spend three million just to spite me. One word can kill him, let's see if my calculation is accurate or not?"

  Bai Shaoliu also laughed: "Really, you're right, it's not like I'm wrong! ...... But I don't want to be like that, three thousand is almost enough, he'll give me that kind of money, and I just happen to need it."

  Feng Junzi: "You're really something! At such a young age, you have principles and know how to be flexible. You know the value of people and things."

  Bai Shaoliu: "Feng senior, I didn't understand what you just said."

  Feng Junzi: "In your mind, you never thought that you were right or wrong, so the face of right and wrong is not worth 3,000 yuan. In Huang Yusu's mind, his temper is worth 3,000 yuan. So you can get the money! As for me, even if he gave me 300,000, I couldn't be wrong."

  Bai Shaoliu: "Your face also has a price, right? Worth 30 million?"

  Feng Junzi: "It's not that my face is worth three million, because he wouldn't give it to me anyway. His face is worthless in front of me... Little brother, what's your name? We've been chatting for half a day and I still haven't asked you."

  "My name is Bai Shaoliu, others call me Xiao Bai."

  Feng Junzi: "Xiao Bai? This name is not bad, it sounds intimate. Anyway, I didn't make any deals today, meeting you Xiao Bai is fate, so let me calculate your fortune for 3,000 gold coins, one life. How about it, will you or won't you?"

  Bai Shaofeng didn't understand what he meant, and unexpectedly, he was deceived into paying 3,000 yuan for a fortune-telling, which was the same amount of money he had just received. He shook his head: "Thank you, I don't believe in this, besides, 3,000 yuan is too expensive, I can't afford to spend that much money."

  Feng Junzi: "I can tell by your appearance that you're not wealthy, yet you know there's 3,000 yuan in your pocket and still say that. Since you're unwilling, forget it. How about this, I'll give you a free fortune-telling?"

  "Who do you think you are?"

  Feng Junzi: "You won't spend this 3,000 yuan and let me calculate your lifespan, how long can this money last in your pocket?"

  Bai Shaofeng thought for a moment before responding: "Even if I'm frugal, it'll still take at least three months."

  Feng Junzi smiled: "I saw your movements of receiving money, stacking money, and hiding money, which is also quite elegant in terms of momentum! However, the middle finger and ring finger are always separated too far apart, that's a sign of leaking wealth, if you can keep it until midnight tonight, it's not bad!"

  "This is probably not up to you to decide."

  Feng Junzi: "Whether it's accurate or not, you'll know tomorrow, don't rush to a conclusion."

  "Alright then, we'll know tomorrow. Senior Feng, you stay seated, I'm leaving."

  Feng Junzi: "What's the hurry? I think you're not busy anyway, just chat with me for a couple more sentences. You've made three thousand yuan using my umbrella, can't you at least treat me to a midnight snack?"

  Bai Shaofeng thought for a moment and said, "As for me, I didn't eat much for dinner tonight, what do you want to eat, Feng?"

  Feng Junzi: "Just keep it simple, Spicy Hot Pot, that sister's Spicy Hot Pot on the street corner."

  The small eatery that Feng Junzi mentioned was familiar to Bai Shaoliu, who had been there several times before. It was run by two sisters from out of town. The older sister was twenty-five or six years old, while the younger one was twenty-two or three, and both were quite attractive. Their small shop was called Sisters' Spicy Hot Pot, and although it wasn't large, business was usually very good. Whenever Bai Shaoliu went there before, he would eat hot pot on one side while sneaking glances at the beauties on the other. The items in that store weren't expensive, so Bai Shaoliu got up and left, with Feng Junzi picking up the sign from the ground and following behind him.

  It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and more than half of the customers were still seated in the small shop, leaving only one empty table. Bai Shaofeng walked in just as he ran into several former colleagues, who had probably just finished overtime and came to eat hot pot. After exchanging greetings, Feng Junzi asked him, "Are those your former colleagues? I seem to have heard that you're currently unemployed?"

  "Yes, what else do you want to ask?" Xiaobai replied impatiently.

  Feng Junzi still asked awkwardly: "When you see them, why aren't you embarrassed at all?"

  Bai Shaoliu: "Embarrassed? Have I ever done anything to wrong them? On the contrary, they feel embarrassed when they see me, as if they've committed a crime. It's really unnecessary!"

  Feng Junzi: "Others laugh so naturally? I didn't see it at all."

  "Do you still need to look? I think it's fine, my intuition in this aspect is very keen."

  Feng Junzi: "What's the feeling?"

  "It's moving people's hearts."

  Feng Junzi glared at him with his eyes wide open: "I don't think you look like a hundred-year-old, nor are you an old man who can see through human feelings and worldly affairs. Even if you live to be a hundred years old, you'll still be senile by then. You're actually able to sense people's hearts? Then try sensing mine!"

  "Except for you, I can sense everyone else and know what they're thinking."

  Feng Junzi: "You just blow it, this way you can join the total patrol department's crime prevention group, no one has your endurance!"

  "Really, I'm not kidding. It's not some specific idea, but I know what everyone truly feels in their heart, and I've known it since I was young. Are you particularly slow on this aspect?"

  Feng Junzi somewhat discontentedly retorted: "Slow-witted? Me? I also know what you're thinking right now."

  "What am I thinking?"

  Feng Junzi: "What are you thinking I am doing?"

  Bai Shaoliu: "You know this so clearly? I was really thinking about this! It seems like you're more perceptive of people's hearts than I am... What exactly do you do?"

  "Two immortals directing the way, what do they eat? Take a plate to choose and then hand it over to the counter for cooking. When will you help me calculate my fortune for free and see how my luck is?" A girl with a white apron, about the same age as Bai Shaofeng, interrupted their conversation, she was the sister of Kai's Mala Hot Pot.

  Bai Shaofeng was shocked again. The people he met today were one more mysterious than the other. How did she know that these two people were fortune tellers? Curious, he asked: "How do you know we're fortune tellers?"

  The girl smiled and pointed to the empty stool beside her: "The sign is placed there!"

  Bai Shaofeng lowered his head to take a look, and Feng Junzi had placed the white paper on the stool beside him. The white paper only had four large characters written in a majestic and elegant style - "Xianren Zhilu" (Fairy Points the Way). Bai Shaofeng was slightly stunned, as he remembered that this signboard wasn't like this before. He recalled that the white paper had two drawings on it, one of a human face and one of a human hand. The drawings weren't very good, with the human face looking like a turtle shell and the human hand looking like a chicken claw. The words written beside them were also irregular and disorderly, talking about things like predicting marriage, career prospects, and so on.

  Feng Junzi saw Xiao Bai notice the banner and smiled, explaining: "I was just about to tell you that you put my banner upside down. This is the correct side. If you had displayed the correct side, that little girl with the surname Luo wouldn't have looked down on you like that!"

  "What's going on with his back?"

  Feng Junzi: "My wife knew I was going to set up a fortune-telling stall on the street tonight, so she specially wrote a sign for me. How could I disappoint her good intentions? I had no choice but to put it out, and then quietly rewrote it myself in the back... Let's talk about that later, first go pick some things, what do you like, meat or vegetarian?"

  They ordered a batch of spicy and non-spicy skewers, sent them to the counter to be cooked, topped with sesame sauce and chili peppers, and then brought them back. The two sat down to eat, and it smelled very good. The spicy skewers were very spicy, and Feng Xunzi sucked in the hot air, looked up and asked: "Xiao Bai, how about another bottle of beer to rinse your mouth?" Xiao Bai was helpless, who made him run into such a thick-skinned person? He got him another bottle of beer. After Feng Xunzi drank a big mouthful of beer and let out a comfortable sigh, he finally found the opportunity to ask him: "Feng Shifan, what do you actually do?"

  Feng Junzi munched on a string of dried tofu rolls while responding, "Let me think... I should be doing securities investment analysis."

  Xiao Bai suddenly remembered something, this name he had an impression, now it all came back to him! He almost jumped up and asked: "Are you surnamed Feng? Called Feng Junzi? You're a securities analyst."

  Feng Junzi: "Yes, you sit down, no need to be so solemn and respectful?"

  "Months ago, didn't you write a report about Nandu Technology?"

  Feng Junzi: "That's right, I have written it."

  Bai Shaofeng sat there, looking at the person in front of him with a complicated mood. If it weren't for his report, Nandu Technology's new share issuance wouldn't have been rejected. If Nandu Technology's new share issuance hadn't failed, he wouldn't have had to go on a business trip to Qinjiang. And if he hadn't gone on that business trip, he wouldn't have encountered that bizarre car accident. At this time, Feng Junzi raised his head and asked with some doubt: "I heard my name and that report, I feel your reaction is very dissatisfied with me. Why?"

  "Why? Xiaobai looked at him straight and said: "If it weren't for your report, I wouldn't have suffered so much."

  Feng Junzi: "How are you involved again? Tell me what's going on."

  Xiao Bai let out a sigh and briefly recounted his work experience at Mo Tong International Finance. After listening, Feng Junzi was not surprised, but instead let out a long sigh and said: "People's hearts are simple, it's just expectations, but the things in this world are really complicated. You have grievances, I can understand, but think about it, can you blame me? Who should be blamed for this matter?"

  Bai Shaofeng thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, it can't be blamed on you." As for the car accident, if we talk about it objectively, we should first blame the driver who caused the accident. If we dig deeper, we should blame Hong Yunsheng and Qianrihong Group's illegal operations. In any case, it can't be blamed on Feng Junzi.

  Feng Junzi: "Not bad, not bad. You can see through the truth of things, and this matter cannot be blamed on me, I can only thank you. Unfortunately, there are many people in the world who just don't understand, and instead blame me, a good person, for meddling in other people's business... Since you can discern people's hearts and understand the root of things, then your ability to navigate the world is almost complete."

  Bai Shaoliu: "You repeatedly praise me for being able to see through people's hearts, but aren't you the same? From what you said, I knew exactly what was on your mind just now."

  Feng Junzi: "You're wrong, I'm using ordinary human eyesight, not divine insight. I don't need to probe or sense, one glance and it's naturally understood."

  Bai Shaoliu: "Wait a minute, what did you just say? Shen Tong?"
