She was of noble birth and had seen countless handsome men, but none of them could compare to the young owner of the fortune-telling shop.
Compared to the handsome young owner of the fortune-telling shop, even the most renowned handsome men in the martial arts world paled in comparison.
"But he's too young. Is he really as omniscient as the rumors say...?"
Then, the woman in black hesitated, filled with doubt.
It's not that she doesn't trust people; it's just that profound abilities like fortune-telling generally become stronger with age.
Chen Yan was only in his early twenties; he didn't look like an all-knowing immortal master at all.
With this in mind, she began to consider taking the entrance exam.
Upon entering the fortune-telling shop, he took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table. After clasping his hands in greeting to Chen Yan, he said, "Master Chen, I have long heard of your great supernatural powers. No secret in the world can escape your discerning eyes. May I ask, can you discern my identity?"
As soon as the woman in black finished speaking, the martial arts practitioners who were watching the spectacle exchanged bewildered glances, feeling that the woman in black was putting Master Chen in a difficult position.
You were dressed in all black and wore a veil, revealing nothing. How could Master Chen possibly know your identity?
Isn't this just picking a fight?
"Perhaps Master Chen has a solution. His skills are far beyond those of ordinary fortune tellers."
Xie Yanke said slowly.
His words resonated with many people.
Inside the fortune-telling shop, the woman in black looked at Chen Yan, awaiting his reply.
Chen Yan knew perfectly well that the girl in front of him was testing him.
Normally, he might have just kicked the other person out.
You're here to have your fortune told? If you don't believe in my abilities, just leave. Why are you testing me? Test my ass.
But at this time.
Chen Yan was also eager to try out the new Yin-Yang Mirror's abilities.
He held the Yin-Yang mirror in his hand and played with it, then casually shone it on the woman in black.
Instantly, the black-clad woman's identity information appeared on the mirror.
Name: Ren Yingying.
Age: 19 years old.
Identity: Holy Maiden of the Great Ming Demonic Sect, daughter of the former leader Ren Woxing.
Strength: Mid-stage of the Innate Realm.
Measurements: 87, 61, 89...
"Not bad figure..."
Chen Yan clicked his tongue in praise.
Unexpectedly, Ren Yingying, this proud and arrogant woman, has quite a great figure hidden under her black clothes.
He coughed lightly and revealed the identity of the woman in black: "You, Ren Yingying, Holy Maiden of the Great Ming Demonic Sect, mid-stage of the Innate Realm, your measurements... cough cough."
As Chen Yan read aloud the information from the Yin-Yang Mirror, he almost let something slip and quickly stopped himself.
As Chen Yan revealed his identity.
Ren Yingying's face showed a look of shock.
After learning of Chen Yan's extraordinary abilities from Linghu Chong, he covered his face with a black veil and traveled stealthily, with no one knowing his information.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yan was able to easily reveal his identity.
His strength was indeed as unfathomable as Linghu Chong's, and as rumored in the martial arts world, and he seemed to know everything.
but……
What does "three measurements" mean?
The onlookers, including martial arts practitioners, were also shocked.
Master Chen is too amazing. He accurately identified the other person without even seeing their face.
His abilities were indeed extraordinary and unfathomable.
Thinking of this, the martial arts practitioners felt even more awe for Chen Yan.
Ren Yingying then removed her black veil, revealing a beautiful and charming face that could express both anger and joy.
After clasping her hands in greeting, she bowed deeply to Chen Yan: "Immortal Master, please forgive this humble woman for testing me. I have come here to inquire about the whereabouts of someone."
After saying that, he took out a ten-tael silver ingot.
Before coming, she had already learned the rules of Chen Yan's fortune telling.
Ten taels of silver for one question.
She felt the price was too cheap, even ridiculously cheap.
Because many secrets cannot be bought even for ten thousand taels of silver, let alone ten taels.
"The person I want to ask you about is..."
Ren Yingying was about to reveal the name of the person she was asking about.
But Chen Yan shook his head to stop him.
"Sorry, the price for asking one question at our fortune-telling shop has increased."
Has it increased?
Ren Yingying was taken aback.
He immediately understood; yes, ten taels of silver for a problem was indeed too cheap.
The onlookers, mostly martial arts practitioners, nodded in agreement, saying that the price increase was justified.
"I wonder how much a problem costs these days. I am quite wealthy and should be able to afford it."
Ren Yingying smiled confidently.
Indeed, as the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, she was not short of money.
Chen Yan laughed: "Money is a mundane thing, but enough is enough. I hope the Holy Maiden doesn't think that I, the Immortal Master, am like those ordinary fortune tellers who still chase after money."
The price increase I raised was not in silver, but in a condition.
I will only answer his question if he fulfills the conditions I set.
Hear this.
Ren Yingying's expression changed.
Will we fulfill the conditions proposed by Chen Yan?
What should I do if Chen Yan wants my body?
"Rest assured, the conditions I propose will neither violate chivalry nor be shameless or vulgar."
Hearing this promise, Ren Yingying felt a little relieved.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.
"Ah Huang."
Chen Yan called out.
Ah Huang carried the wooden box that Chen Yan had made earlier to Ren Yingying.
The wooden box was similar to a lottery box in later times, with an opening on top for reaching inside.
Chen Yan said, "The conditions I set are random. You reach into the wooden box, and there are many small slips of paper inside. Each slip of paper has a thing written on it."
Whatever task you're assigned, just complete it.
Once you've completed this task, I can answer all your questions.
Ren Yingying nodded, reached into the wooden box, and took out a slip of paper.
As she tore open the note, her heart pounded wildly, filled with a mixture of surprise and trepidation. She wondered what conditions Chen Yan, this all-powerful immortal master, would impose on her, and whether she could fulfill them...
Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Holy Maiden's Flower-Shaking Hand - Instant Death!
Not only was Ren Yingying curious and nervous, but the onlookers from the martial arts world also stood on tiptoe and craned their necks, wanting to see what was written on the slip of paper that Ren Yingying had drawn.
They were very curious too.
What conditions will Chen Yan propose?
However, they were certain that the conditions proposed by Master Chen Yan would be extraordinary.
At this time.
Ren Yingying opened the note and was stunned after reading what was written on it.
The note clearly displayed the three characters "摇花手" (Yao Hua Shou, meaning "shaking flower hands") written in a flamboyant and elegant style.
What does "shaking hands with flowers" mean?
Ren Yingying looked completely bewildered.
