Chapter 1046 There Will Be an Echo

 

Su Changge spoke with excitement in his expression.

Method glanced at him and asked, “You want your fortune told?”

“If there’s a chance… I’d like to know about my love life,” Su Changge chuckled and said, “I’m not getting any younger, it’s time I settled down.”

Method looked at Su Changge and said, “With your looks and eloquence, finding a partner shouldn’t be difficult, right?”

“That’s not wrong, but I want to find the most suitable partner, someone who can bring me good fortune…” Su Changge said, “Boss, throughout history, there have been many famous immortal couples. Before they met, they might have just been ordinary cultivators… but after coming together, they immediately enlightened to the great Dao and both ascended to immortality… I want to experience such a beautiful story myself.”

“I think it would be more practical for you to go home, get some sleep, and have a nice dream. You can have anything in dreams,” Method said.

Su Changge laughed awkwardly and said, “Boss, although it sounds absurd, this is Master Xiao we’re talking about. Since we’re already here… of course we should give it a try.”

Method didn’t say anything more and walked with Su Changge toward the square.

By now, the square was already packed with people.

The cultivators around them all appeared relatively young.

“Is this Xiao Lin really that famous?” Method asked.

“Of course, they say he’s never made a mistake when reading someone’s fortune in his entire life! He’s incredibly accurate!” Su Changge said.

“With so many young people here, they probably have the same goal as you,” Method smiled.

“What’s the use of so many people coming? Master Xiao will probably only pick four or five people for readings, the others won’t have a chance at all.”

“When Master Xiao arrives, we’ll push forward and try to get his attention…”

“That’s the plan. With so many people here… we must make an impression to have a chance of being chosen.”

At this moment, two cultivators nearby were whispering to each other.

“With such slim odds, it seems your chances of finding a partner and ascending together are practically non-existent,” Method glanced at Su Changge and said.

“Rumor has it that Master Xiao is quite spontaneous… I’ll think of a special way to approach him,” Su Changge said.

The two chatted for a while.

“Master Xiao is here!”

Soon, exclamations came from nearby.

Method looked up and saw a white cloud-like substance flying toward them in the distance.

This white cloud was clearly a magical artifact.

Two figures stood on the cloud.

One of them wore the same purple robe as other disciples of the Taixu Sect, while the other wore a plain light-colored robe with a scholarly appearance.

The white cloud slowly descended above the Question Heaven Stone, hovering in mid-air.

“Greetings, fellow Daoists. I am Jiang Tianhe of the Taixu Sect, and beside me… is the long-awaited Master Xiao!” the purple-robed man announced solemnly.

A wave of enthusiastic responses immediately erupted from below.

“Next, I invite Master Xiao to speak with you all. I shall take my leave first,” Jiang Tianhe cupped his hands and leaped off the cloud.

Only the scholarly-looking man, Xiao Lin, remained on the white cloud.

Xiao Lin smiled as he surveyed the crowd below.

At this point, the crowd below became lively.

Just as the two cultivators had mentioned earlier, everyone was shouting desperately, even jumping up, trying to leave an impression on Xiao Lin in hopes of being chosen.

At this moment, only Su Changge and Method remained motionless in the entire square.

“Is this your way of making an impression on him?” Method looked at Su Changge and asked.

Su Changge smiled slightly and said, “That’s right, Boss. This is called doing the opposite. Look at these people practically jumping to the sky, while I remain calm and composed in the crowd. This way, I might actually catch Master Xiao’s attention.”

Standing on the white cloud, Xiao Lin scanned the crowd below, his gaze locking onto Su Changge’s position.

Su Changge had already felt Xiao Lin’s gaze and was overjoyed, but he dared not show it, trying hard to maintain a calm and composed appearance.

“I have chosen the first person,” Xiao Lin announced at this moment.

The crowd below immediately fell silent.

Everyone looked up with anticipation.

Su Changge had already raised his head, waiting for the announcement.

“May I invite this Daoist friend,” Xiao Lin said, looking in Su Changge’s direction and extending a hand.

A faint light flickered.

Su Changge’s face was filled with wild joy.

But unexpectedly, a white cloud formed beneath Method’s feet, who was standing beside him.

Then, Method floated up, going directly to Xiao Lin.

A wave of disappointed sighs rose from the square.

Su Changge muttered, “As expected of the boss. Standing the same way, yet he attracts Master Xiao’s attention…”

…

In mid-air, Method and Xiao Lin stood face to face.

Xiao Lin gently waved his right hand.

The white cloud beneath them rose, enveloping the space where he and Method stood, completely sealing it off.

“What would you like to have read?” Xiao Lin looked at Method and asked.

Method thought for a moment and said, “Actually, I don’t want anything read. Could you give this opportunity to someone else?”

“I want to read for you first,” Xiao Lin said.

Method frowned slightly.

“You’re Method, who has recently become famous throughout Yanxia, aren’t you?” Xiao Lin smiled.

Method’s eyes flickered.

The disguise of Xuanran Qi was difficult to see through.

But Xiao Lin before him had seen through his disguise at a glance.

Clearly, this Xiao Lin was indeed extraordinary.

“But I really don’t have anything I want read,” Method said.

“Is that so…” Xiao Lin raised his right hand, and with a flash of light in his palm, a pen and a piece of white paper appeared, “Just write any character on it, and I’ll see what I can divine.”

Method looked at the paper and pen, smiled and said, “I’ve never seen a fortune teller force a reading on someone.”

“I find you very interesting,” Xiao Lin said.

“But I’ve never believed in fortune-telling,” Method said as he took the paper and pen.

He picked up the pen and wrote a character.

The ‘Yu’ character from his own name.

Xiao Lin took the paper, examined it carefully, then gently stroked the character with his right hand and closed his eyes.

After about half a minute, he opened his eyes.

At this moment, his two eyeballs had become transparent.

Seeing this, Method’s eyes flickered slightly.

“You…” Xiao Lin looked at Method, opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but quickly closed it again.

“Don’t tell me you can’t say anything?” Method asked with narrowed eyes.

“Perhaps I can tell you about your love destiny,” Xiao Lin said.

Love destiny?

Method smiled and said, “Then go ahead and tell me.”

“In your memory, there is someone deeply etched in your heart,” Xiao Lin said. “No matter what, you want to see her again, to make up for past regrets.”

Hearing these words, Method’s heartstrings trembled.

“And so?” Method asked.

Xiao Lin looked at Method, his transparent eyeballs seemingly able to see through everything.

“There’s a saying: what you constantly think about will eventually respond,” Xiao Lin said. “Recently, you’ve met someone who resembles the person in your memory in certain aspects.”

“Many times, you even mistake her for the person in your memory.”

“But deep in your heart, you firmly believe that this person has nothing to do with the one in your memory.”

At this point, Method’s gaze toward Xiao Lin had changed.

This person… seemed truly able to see into his heart.

These words referred to… Cold Xinshuang and Ji Rumei!

Xiao Lin’s eyeballs slowly returned to black.

He looked at Method with some shock in his eyes and said, “Your destiny is unlike others. I could have told you much more… but this is all I can say now.”

These words reminded Method of Old Man Yan Zhen, who had said something similar.

They both seemed able to see some of Method’s secrets but couldn’t speak of them?

Why was this?

What existence could prevent them from saying just a few words?

Method felt a bit irritated.

Seemingly sensing Method’s mood, Xiao Lin said, “That taboo is something I, a mere fortune teller, dare not touch.”

“But as a fortune teller, ending like this… would indeed be inappropriate. So, I’ll venture to say one more thing…”

“Your love destiny line is very long, and although there are great twists and turns, it never breaks. As I said before, what you constantly think about will eventually respond.”

After saying this, Xiao Lin waved his right hand, and the surrounding white cloud dispersed.

“Master Xiao has finished the reading!”

The square below once again erupted with noise.
