Chapter 360: 360: Can You Tell Fortunes? Yes, I Can!
Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Can You Tell Fortunes? Yes, I Can!
The words had just been spoken.
The monkeys that disappeared earlier were now descending the mountain in a massive, imposing troop!
Yu Chen arranged for his disciples to orderly hand out food to the monkeys.
In the next moment, the Shen Family saw groups of monkeys, lifting Ye Qilan and others, preparing to leave!
Shen Dongli was utterly astonished.
He had been ready for a direct confrontation with Ye Qilan!
Unexpectedly… it turned out to be the mountain monkeys that came to help?
Qingwu made a gesture towards the hidden Lian Zhen.
Lian Zhen, leading the troop of monkeys, moved very quickly, and when they left, a few more people were taken along…
Ye Qilan struggled incessantly only to have a stone stuffed into his mouth by the monkeys, the earthy and fishy taste was nauseating, and he immediately rolled his eyes in disgust!
He soon passed out.
Yu Chen recited a Buddhist invocation.
“Amitabha, it seems that Benefactor Ye and monkeys share a karmic connection.”
Yu Chen calls this… a karmic connection?
Such a fate was indeed astonishing!
Shen Lirong regained his senses and voiced his concern, “Older brother, we still need to arrange manpower for the cemetery area in the future. If it disturbs sister-in-law’s rest, I’m afraid it won’t be good.”
Ye Qilan is a person who never gives up until he achieves his goals!
Elder Shen nodded tiredly.
“I have already arranged for that.”
His gaze carried a hint of ruthlessness!
Shen Lirong nodded, “Then I’ll leave first, there are a bunch of matters in the clan to attend to. If the kids at home are free, bring little Qingwu over to update the family records, I’ll make sure everything is arranged properly.”
“Is there any dissent within the clan?”
“You don’t have to worry about that, big brother. The Shen Family is united, and any child you acknowledge is a treasure of the Shen Family! For the Shen Family to thrive and prosper, we need to be harmonious and united generation after generation, not making life difficult for the children!”
The members of the Shen Family following up also voiced their agreement.
Elder Shen nodded.
Shen Lirong is a wise man.
“Hmm, I’m confident leaving things in your hands.”
After offering his incense, Shen Lirong was also taking Shen Yanhan to make a brief appearance, and quickly left with the clan members afterwards.
Elder Shen glanced at the ancestral hall with a heavy sigh!
“Huazhen, I’m sorry to disturb your rest at this time, it’s all my fault!”
In the past, they had misjudged people and failed to see Ye Qilan’s true colors, allowing him to exploit many loopholes!
Looking at Lin Huazhen’s photo, Elder Shen sighed.
“It was our mistake to have trusted Ye Qilan back then…”
Shen Shaojia suddenly remembered something Xuan Lengyue mentioned during their conversation; she had encountered an accident years ago, possibly related to a confidential experiment.
Could that experiment be related to the Beidou Star her grandparents mentioned?
Shen Shaojia quietly tugged at Yu Chen’s robe and let go when he looked over.
For some reason, seeing her let go made Yu Chen feel a bit regretful…
“What’s the matter?”
“Master, do you know how to tell fortunes?”
Monks do not learn fortune-telling, that’s the realm of Taoists.
But facing Shen Shaojia’s clear and bright eyes, Yu Chen slowly said, “I possibly could.”
“If I want to know some past events, can it be calculated?”
“I haven’t tried before, I’m not sure, but we can try.”
Actually, Yu Chen has never really told fortunes… let alone accurately.
But Shen Shaojia didn’t think so.
Yu Chen said he wasn’t sure, which to her, meant there was a very high chance!
Yu Chen, being such a high monk who has attained the Way, surely wouldn’t deceive her!
Those things that Xuan Lengyue couldn’t remember and the things she didn’t want to tell her, she could have Yu Chen calculate all of them!
The plan is a go!
Yu Chen slowly walked up to Qingwu’s side and spoke softly, “Boss Qing, do you have any fortune-telling books on hand?”
Qingwu looked at Yu Chen, puzzled.
“I’m not a Taoist, why would I need that kind of thing? Go find an old Taoist!”
The old Taoist was furious last time because of something involving Monk Hou Ming and is currently unknown which mountain he is cultivating on.
Yu Chen touched the back of his head, somewhat distressed.
It looks like he needed to pay a visit to a nearby Taoist school!
…
On the return trip, Zuo Wanjun started talking about the affairs of the Shen Family.
“Baby, mom was worried that you would find it annoying, so she didn’t tell you, but the current clan leader of the Shen Family is the one you saw, your Ninth Uncle. Since Hanhan will be working with you, she’ll inevitably have dealings with your Ninth Uncle.”
“As for Hanhan, she is your Ninth Uncle’s adopted granddaughter, said to have been abandoned by the roadside with Yurou.”
Speaking of these things, Zuo Wanjun also felt somewhat sentimental!
“Mrs. Shen insisted that Yurou was auspicious, and since your Ninth Uncle had no granddaughters, he simply took her home, and our Shen Family isn’t short of food.”
Shen Shaojia, holding Qingwu, found a comfortable position to lean on her.
Muttering, she said, “Mom, I hope Shen Yanhan isn’t like Yurou, right? Otherwise, maybe she should work somewhere else. What if she gets jealous of Qingwu too?”
“No way, Hanhan isn’t like Yurou!”
Zuo Wanjun said emotionally, “She earned her college money herself and was teaching in the mountains last year. The money the Shen Family gave her, she used it to build roads in the Daliang Mountains!”
Speaking of what Shen Yanhan did, Zuo Wanjun felt that it wasn’t easy for a young girl to accomplish such a deed.
“If Hanhan really turns out to be like Yurou, kicking her out won’t be too late, after all, it was your grandfather who promised, mom can’t say much.”
Qingwu nodded.
She didn’t care much about who was managing the hotel.
But since Elder Shen had arranged it, she didn’t mind checking out the hotel.
Hearing that Qingwu wanted to go to the hotel, Zuo Wanjun quickly told the driver to stop the car and gestured for the following cars to stop as well.
Smiling warmly at Pei Jue driving.
“Ah Jue, our Qingwu wants to take a look at her hotel, are you free? Go with her! Also, if Qingwu has any questions, you can teach her!”
Hotels under the Pei Clan are located all around the world, and in this regard, Pei Jue is indeed an expert.
Zuo Wanjun, making playful faces at Pei Jue, spoke softly, “Qingwu must be upset because of her grandmother’s situation, take her for some fun!”
Qingwu looked somewhat helplessly at Zuo Wanjun.
Was she worried she couldn’t hear her speak?
“Sure, Auntie, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Qingwu.”
Zuo Wanjun, receiving Pei Jue’s assurance, quickly helped Qingwu out of the car and watched her get into Pei Jue’s car.
A shared bicycle, that no one knew where it had come from, entered everyone’s sight.
Lian Zhen, riding on the bike with Monkey King, came up to Qingwu’s car.
“Boss, Ye Qilan and the others have been sent deep into the mountains, they won’t be able to come out any time soon!”
“Okay, got it.”
…
Shen Family’s Hotel.
The hotel was lavishly decorated, the large lobby was bright, the crystal chandeliers shimmering and refracting a spectrum of brilliant prism lights.
The manager and staff stood on both sides, shouting in unison, “Welcome President Shen home!”
Shen Dongli had already informed that Qingwu would be coming.
But the hotel manager hadn’t expected that Chairman Pei would also come along!
Shen Yanhan, dressed in a business suit, stood not far away.
Her eyes brightened upon seeing Qingwu and Pei Jue!
