Chapter 202
“I’m not interested in marriage.” Wei Wei was telling the truth.
Hei Ze looked at her as if he’s looking at a freak. “Weird girl.”
Wei Wei lazily glanced at him. “Still better than a certain person who doesn’t even dare to admit who he likes.”
Hei Ze was immediately stumped. Hey, hey, hey, can we just chat cheerfully!
Even though the two of their voices were very quiet, however, it’s also difficult to avoid drawing the attention of the surrounding people.
Especially Baili Jia Jue, who hadn’t looked away from them from beginning to end.
Eunuch Sun’s eyes saw the more the arc at the corners of his master’s mouth curved up, the more horrifying it was and straightforwardly spoke. “Will Miss Wei Wei also draw one, maybe you’d benefit.”
Eunuch Sun didn’t think that his own words would cause all eyes to turn towards Wei Wei.
Abbot Fang Zhang stroked the white beard under his chin even more and smiled. “This female benefactor indeed should also draw a fortune stick, I’ve stayed at this temple for many years. This is the first time that I’ve seen a profile that’s so auspicious for her husband*, forehead and area between brows exudes intelligence, could turn all misfortunes into blessings, brows and eyes carry healthy energy, should foster great prosperity and nobleness.”
Everybody was astonished at Fang Zhang’s declarations. One ought to know that Wei Wei had just been kicked out of the Defense Division. Right now, she could be considered to be penniless, without a single thing to her name, if it weren’t for that fact that she won the intra-academy competition this time, how would she even be included in the trip to Hidden Spirit Temple.
How was it that from Fang Zhang’s mouth, she became a tycoon?
However, someone who could make Fang Zhang opened his mouth to analyze her physiognomy was probably few and far between.
Could it be that Wei Wei’s fortunes would still change?
The young lords’ gazes were full of doubt.
But Helian Jiao Er hated so much she distorted a corner of her handkerchief, teeth ferociously bit at her thin lips, eyes like they’re steeped in poisonous arsenic, yet when she looked down, everything was concealed thoroughly.
However, in the beginning, Abbot Fang Zhang, only because he heard Third Prince’s words, after that, he became interested in finding out about this girl, Wei Wei, a student from the Inferior Compound.
But when he genuinely went and saw her, he felt that her countenance indeed, truly stood out from the masses. He continued. “As for other aspects, this female benefactor needs to draw a fortune stick before we it could be divined.”
Wei Wei indifferently received the gazes casted from all around. She faced Head Abbot Fang Zhang and smiled politely. “Many thanks for abbot’s good intentions. It’s Wei Wei who doesn’t have an affinity with Buddha. I’m accustomed to being laid-back, and has always believed in only one thing, my fate is dependant on me, not on the heavens.”
Suddenly, the temple hall came to a standstill in an instant.
All of the people looked at Wei Wei in a way that couldn’t be described in words.
Only Baili Jia Jue seemed to have curved his lips as he leisurely straightened the sleeves of his robe.
Head Abbot Fang Zhang was stunned, after which he burst into laughter. That laughter reverberated within the temple hall and didn’t fade for a very long time. “Deserves to be of Helian blood, a talentless golden carp encountering storms turning into a dragon**, Helian Wei Wei, the future you, it’s truly making me look forward to it!”
“Thanks for Abbot Fang Zhang’s auspicious words.” Wei Wei chuckled, neither alarmed by honor nor disgrace made Retired Emperor take note.
Head Abbot Fang Zhang then turned and glanced towards Baili Jia Jue at the not so distant place, deep meaning fully written on his brows, eyes, and mouth. No wonder this icy fellow favored this girl. There were plenty of people who believed in Buddhism in the world, yet they didn’t understand cause and effect. How did this Wei Wei not have an affinity with Buddha, clearly her heart was fearless, her understanding was even more profound than other people. She’s actually quite compatible with this cold mannered, heartless icy fellow. Retired Emperor had finally thought it through, maybe also because of this point.
Yet Baili Jia Jue didn’t look at him, eyes downcast, making people unable to perceive his state of mind whatsoever.
Listening at the side, Helian Jiao Er’s whole heart twisted, but a smiling expression still covered her face. It’s just that unnoticed by people, her hands clenched and somewhat deformed.
Her maid didn’t know what to say, and only moved to move Helian Jiao Er’s fortune stick forward.
Head Abbot Fang Zhang smiled as he picked up this fortune stick, a couple of succinct words told her fortunes.
What Helian Jiao Er obtained was the highest high fortune, and was also the only highest high fortune among those girls from influential families. It drew everyone’s exclamation of admiration.
The highest high fortune was indeed not easy to find, so it could be seen just how good Helian Jiao Er’s fate was.
Head Abbot Fang Zhang retrieved the fortune stick and divined her future. In the near future, her prospects are great. There was some ambiguity regarding the latter part of her life.
However, one had no choice but to admit that Helian Jiao Er’s fortunes seemed to be the best here.
Those aristocratic ladies who were already previously vigilant of Helian Jiao Er turned towards this side again, envy and admiration written in their eyes. That personal maid by Helian Jiao Er’s side, lifted high her chin, and seemed to deliberately swept her glance over Wei Wei.
Wei Wei wasn’t so idle that she’d bother about these things about a maid, her eyes fixed on a corner of the statue of Buddha as eyebrows raised.
“Some people are incapable of drawing out a highest high fortune and doesn’t even dare to touch the bamboo cylinder.”
Women, even if they didn’t want to admit it, however, they truly would have that kind of tendency to step on the lowly fawn on those higher, fond of laughing at people, added to that envy, when they got together, they’re unable to control themselves and wanted to speak.
Wei Wei raised the corners of her mouth, as if she absolutely didn’t attach any importance to this kind of provocation.
The maid standing beside Helian Jiao Er also couldn’t put up with it any longer. Because of Helian Wei Wei, this slut, she recently suffered no small amount of anger. Now, she wanted to grab this opportunity even more, and spoke in a shady, provocative tone. “That’s just the way it is, she’s afraid of pulling out a poor fortune.”
Hearing these words, Helian Jiao Er hypocritically reprimanded. “Withdraw! Truly failing to understand good behavior more and more!”
That maid’s shoulders withdrew and shrunk back, but seeing that there wasn’t any trace of displeasure upon her young lady’s face, knew that her actions this time concurred with her lady’s inclinations.
“Oldest Sister, you don’t need to bother about these lowly people.” Helian Jiao Er said gently. “Yesterday’s matter, I already thought a lot about it, Mother also instructed me that in the future, we need to be kind and love one another. Just now, even Abbot Fang Zhang said that Oldest Sister’s fortunes are out of the ordinary. If you touch the fortune cylinder and ruined your fate, that wouldn’t be good.”
When Yuan Ming woke up, he happened to hear these words and smiled evilly. “Girl, she’s provoking you, if I were you, I definitely wouldn’t endure it.”
“Huh? If I were you, I wouldn’t come out at this time, we’re actually in Buddhist territory.” When Wei Wei laughed, it’s very easy to make people think of the word demon.
Yuan Ming coldly harrumphed. “Would this venerable one fear these Buddhist statues. It’s merely because I haven’t fully recovered. Wait until I’ve fully recovered, I’ll completely break these toys to pieces!”
“I wonder who it was who when I just entered the temple, he already hid in the Celestial Boundary Space.” Wei Wei spoke indifferently.
Yuan Ming’s lips twitched. “Girl, right now, I’m not the one being looked down upon, it’s you.”
“Looked down upon?” Wei Wei’s beautiful phoenix eyes looked up then strolled to finally arrive before the bamboo cylinder, picked up the inscribed wood sticks arranged in a row, and put them all inside the bamboo cylinder.
Helian Jiao Er’s red lips were half raised in anticipation of Wei Wei being laughed at. One ought to know that in the past, this little slut, whenever she requested a fortune, the one to fall on her had always been the lowest low fortune. There’s never been a change in ten years. This time, she’s going to wait for her to lose face!
*The abbot was analyzing Wei Wei’s physiognomy. In China, some believed that not only can a person’s facial features reflect their personality and character, it can also indicate their potential, future prospects, and especially for women, whether they’re auspicious for their husband and family, or deleterious.
