Chapter 52: Enlightenment
After getting ready, Yun Qin began selecting her first work request of the day.
The first was an old lady. Sensing that there was no trace of evil energy on her body, Yun Qin was very disappointed, but she still earnestly listened to her request and activated her “Insight” ability at the same time.
“Master, I always felt that my second son wants to kill my husband. Every time he brings food for my husband, my husband always gets sick afterward. I feel that my second son is a curse to his father. Oh right, his date and time of birth were…”
The old lady frowned and described everything as if it was the truth. However, Yun Qin used her ability to see through her actual thoughts, so she asked helplessly, “Is your second son your biological son?”
The old lady was stunned and immediately replied, “Ah, he’s the ex-wife’s son. I don’t have that many desires, it’s just…”
Yun Qin interrupted her with a mysterious look on her face and gestured for her to come closer. Then, she whispered into the old lady’s ear, “There are some important things that you can discuss with your husband earlier. Write down how much everyone should get upon his death. This is also a blessing for future generations, do you understand?”
Seeing that the old lady’s eyes were wide open from shock, Yun Qin decided to speak more clearly. “For example, the two properties under your husband’s name…”
She didn’t say everything in plain terms but the old lady suddenly had an epiphany. She clapped her hands and said happily, “Master, you are brilliant! Amazing! Amazing!”
Seeing that the old lady was so excited, the people around her immediately became excited. The people in the line behind her could not wait to see what kind of extraordinary abilities this young female master had.
While on a short break, Yun Qin deliberately asked those around her about Mr. Zhao’s situation. The unanimous reply she received was that Mr. Zhao only entered the city every once in a while, so they rarely saw him.
And these last few days, no one had seen Mr. Zhao at all.
Seeing that she couldn’t get any useful information, Yun Qin could only give up and focus on dealing with the crowd.
It wasn’t until the eighth person in line came up did Yun Qin sensed a deliberate intention to target her.
“Ahem, master, a few of my cows went missing last month. I lost them around the east side of the river by the village. Could you please help me determine where I should go to find the cows?”
Although the old man’s words were respectful, he was actually here to cause trouble for her. Using her “Insight”, Yun Qin saw that the old man’s family did not raise cows, and they lived in the capital all year round. His request was pure nonsense.
Yun Qin did not want to pay attention to him, but she remembered that finding things was the most basic skill in divination. So, if she refused to answer, it would ruin her reputation.
Therefore, Yun Qin smiled slightly. Only her eyes, which were exposed, looked at this clever old man. She replied, “Naturally you have to look where the cows came from. However, if the cows don’t exist, then why bother looking for them, correct?”
The surrounding people were confused by her words, but the old man understood the deeper meaning. Not only was he unable to expose this “female con artist”, he felt ashamed when she exposed him.
Hearing the old man’s exclamation of “I admire you, I admire you. This master is truly capable”, the line became longer and the crowd of onlookers grew as well.
Yun Qin was tired from standing, so she sat on a small stool that the old men and women brought. She set up a small table and helped people solve their problems.
Passersby who had never seen such a scene before all stuck their heads in to take a look.
“What is she doing?”
“She’s a female Taoist master who set up a fortune-telling stall.”
“How strange. A woman can tell fortunes? I don’t believe it.”
“What’s even more strange is that this female Taoist master looks like a young girl.”
“Then what kind of fortune can she see? It’s just nonsense.”
“These people all say that she’s good. Let’s join in the fun and take a look.”
The onlookers watched with curiosity and excitement. Yun Qin, who was surrounded, was extremely tired and in a bad mood.
In the past two hours, she had seen at least 20 people, but they only brought her trivial matters. None of it had anything to do with ghosts, and she didn’t even see a trace of evil energy on anyone.
There were a few people who told her about ghost hauntings that they heard from neighbors and friends.
However, Yun Qin did catch that there was a possibility of a real ghost haunting in Zhaoma Alley, which was not far from the Song family’s old mansion.
However, the incident happened last night, so Yun Qin had not seen a single person who directly encountered the ghost.
After asking everyone to let their relatives and friends seek her out if they encountered any strange things, Yun Qin stretched her body and decided that her services for today should come to an end.
