Chapter 167 Divination
"Shall we start now? What do I need to do?"
"Just take your hand over."
"hand?"
The girl suddenly felt a little strange. Although she had never done divination before, she had read some books about divination, and this was the first time she had ever seen someone use their hands to divine.
"That's right, this is my special technique."
Seeing that the girl didn't seem to be completely clueless, the man in black robes panicked slightly, but he quickly calmed down because the girl gave him an expression that made his face twitch wildly.
"So cool!!!"
"This is the first time I've ever seen divination done with hands!"
"Hurry up!"
Without waiting for a reply, the girl placed her arm on the divination table and winked at the man in black.
The man in black robes clearly hadn't expected the girl to be so oblivious, but seeing her come to him, he couldn't refuse, so he took out his hands, which looked like they had been burned.
The man accompanying her twitched at the sight. Although he didn't know anything about divination, he could tell from the hands and the black-robed man's attire that he was no good person.
But he couldn't do anything about the girl, so he could only take two steps forward and watch the man in black robes very warily. If he dared to make any small moves, he would immediately step in to protect the girl.
However, the man was not wrong. The man in black robes did indeed have ill intentions. Looking at the two delicate little children in front of him, the man in black robes swallowed and then slowly placed his hand on the girl's wrist.
"You..."
"What's wrong, Master?"
The man in black placed one hand on her wrist and made a delicate gesture with his other hand, muttering something under his breath. This sight intrigued the girl, and she couldn't help but lean closer to hear what he was saying.
"Hey! Master, I think I can feel my blood flowing!"
This statement is somewhat ambiguous. After all, whose blood doesn't flow? But the girl's situation is a bit different. She can clearly feel it flowing. It's as if her blood was originally a gentle stream, but after the man in black touched it, her blood turned into a fierce torrent.
It was as if all the blood in the body was flowing to one place, and that place was the spot touched by the man in black.
"It's okay, it's normal to feel this way."
"I am calculating your future fortune through your blood, so you don't need to be too nervous."
Hearing what the man in black robes said, the girl felt relieved. Moreover, after learning that this was a normal phenomenon, she carefully felt the flow and seemed to find it quite interesting.
However, what the girl didn't notice was that the emerald pendant hidden in her collar was glowing slightly.
The boy seemed to sense something, stepped forward slightly, clenched his fist, and frowned.
But just as the face beneath the black-robed man's mask grew increasingly crazed, the tent was ripped open again.
who?
The tense atmosphere eased instantly, and the sudden sound of someone entering the room drew everyone's attention.
It was a bald, middle-aged man wearing a short-sleeved cloth shirt and a knife hanging at his waist. After he came in, the already small tent room suddenly had to accommodate four people, which made the tent seem rather cramped.
who is he?
Neither of the two young men recognized the intruder, but the man in black robes' eyelids twitched when he saw the face.
"what are you doing?"
The bald swordsman clearly recognized the man in black robes. After glancing around the tent, he narrowed his eyes.
"I didn't do anything, just did a fortune telling for this cute little girl."
The man in the black robe seemed a little uneasy, like someone who had been caught red-handed by their parents for stealing money when they were a child.
Ha~
The bald swordsman gave a cold laugh and didn't ask any further questions. He simply stepped forward and removed the girl's hand from the black-robed man's.
"What are you doing? I'm doing a divination!"
Even if you want a fortune telling, there's a proper order to things, right?
"Humph~"
The girl was a little annoyed when she realized the sensation of blood flow had disappeared, but the boy was even more annoyed.
"Let go of my hand!"
Upon seeing the bald swordsman grab the girl's hand, the boy instantly panicked. This bald swordsman was clearly more dangerous than the man in black robes, so how could he let him hold the girl's hand?
Without further hesitation, he clenched his fist and threw it at the bald swordsman.
However, he was careless; the bald swordsman was not as weak as he had imagined.
call out!
A whooshing sound came from the air, and the boy's fist missed its mark. The bald swordsman simply dodged to the side and avoided the attack. After dodging the attack, the bald swordsman subconsciously flipped onto the table and delivered a frontal kick to the boy.
boom!
The bald swordsman didn't look strong, but his kick was extremely powerful, sending the boy flying out of the tent.
"elder brother!!"
The girl screamed in shock and pain. Seeing her brother being kicked away, she didn't care about any divination or anything like that. She simply pushed away the bald swordsman's hand and ran towards her brother outside the tent.
Fortunately, her brother was not seriously injured. By the time she went out to help him up, he had already gotten up from the ground.
"you!"
The boy's eyes were filled with anger and shock. He was about to say something when the bald swordsman raised his hand to stop him.
"No, I don't want to fight you. I only attacked you because you attacked me, and I instinctively fought back. If you care about this, then I apologize. I'm sorry."
"Today's divination is over. I see you haven't paid yet. This diviner is a friend of mine, and I'd like to chat with him. If there's nothing else, please go back."
Looking at the boy who was excitedly trying to step forward, the bald swordsman spoke calmly, word by word. As he spoke, he placed his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, as if he would not hesitate to draw his sword if the boy dared to continue.
"elder brother!"
"never mind!"
The girl had never seen anything like this before when she went out for the first time. Since the other side didn't seem to want to fight, she didn't want to continue arguing. With that, she grabbed her agitated brother and forcefully dragged him outside.
"I have to teach him a lesson!"
"Listen to me! Stop hitting me!"
"Are you not listening to your sister?"
After a brief struggle, the two eventually left the tent. Once the tent was quiet again, the bald swordsman and the man in black robes locked eyes once more.
