Chapter 169: The Secret is Concealed!_1

Wang Shengshuang looked at Chen Yu with eyes full of inquiry.

He didn’t believe everything Yin Tian said was true.

Yet, Chen Yu nodded, "Mhm, I came over with him this time."

At this moment, Wang Shengshuang also didn’t know what to say.

"Let’s go take a look over there."

Yin Tian spoke casually and then strode towards a stall not far away.

It was a stall selling ornaments.

On a wooden stick, there were many red cord charms hanging, giving off a cheap vibe.

"Quite interesting."

A light flashed in Yin Tian’s eyes as he spoke quietly, "Yu, do you like them? I’ll gift you one."

"What about these things?"

Zhao Wanlin eyed the items hanging at the stall with skepticism, yet he couldn’t see anything remarkable.

Chen Yu was just as puzzled, looking at Yin Tian.

Only Wang Shengshuang let out a cold laugh, "Hmph, pretentious nonsense, aren’t they just some lousy cords?"

After mocking Yin Tian, Wang Shengshuang turned his head to look at Chen Yu, "Yu, if you like this kind of red cord, I’ll have someone buy it for you from abroad right now, a Givenchy commemorative edition, stylish and impressive, way better than these lousy cords."

"Lousy cords?"

Yin Tian turned around, looking at Wang Shengshuang with a smirk that was not quite a smile, "In your eyes, the Xuanghao Jade Dry Red Cord is so worthless?"

And hearing Yin Tian mention the Xuanghao Jade Dry Red Cord, the old man behind the stall suddenly opened his eyes, giving Yin Tian a meaningful glance.

"What are you talking about? What red cord?"

Wang Shengshuang had not heard clearly what Yin Tian had just said, but he still wore a face of disdain, "You think by giving this cord an incomprehensible name, you can increase its value? It’s just an IQ tax; Yu, don’t listen to his nonsense."

Chen Yu completely ignored Wang Shengshuang, simply looking at Yin Tian curiously, "Does this cord have some kind of story behind it?"

"Fortune," Yin Tian replied without hesitation, "after wearing it, it wards off evil and protects the body, and at the same time, it can subtly enhance Fortune."

"Hahaha..."

Wang Shengshuang burst into laughter, "Wards off evil and protects the body, and even enhances Fortune, Yin Tian, do you think you’re filming a TV show or writing a script?"

"All this you’re saying is dross! It’s nothing but feudal superstition; I really can’t understand how there could be someone like you."

"Then what about that Thai ghost baby you carry on your body?"

The old man spoke slowly, looking seriously at Wang Shengshuang, "Disdaining the heritage of our ancestors, yet keeping a foreign evil on your person, what do you call this?"

Wang Shengshuang’s body trembled, staring incredulously at the old man before him.

A few seconds later, Wang Shengshuang protested, "What are you saying, I don’t understand!"

"Playing dumb?"

The corner of the old man’s mouth curled up, "But for someone like you, I don’t bother saying much."

He looked at Yin Tian, "Never would I have thought, old as I am, with my stall set up here for so long, you’d be the only one to recognize what’s valuable."

Yin Tian grinned at the old man but said nothing.

"Who did you study under?"

The old man looked earnestly at Yin Tian, "He must be quite the character to have taught you so well."

The expression on Yin Tian’s face became somewhat strange.

In his mind, he couldn’t help but conjure the image of his master either holding his phone interacting with female streamers or going down the mountain to knock on the doors of widows.

"Seems like... he’s indeed not that simple..."

"We’re fated, I’ll gift you three cords for free," the old man said with a smile.

"This is too kind of you..."

Yin Tian chuckled and then quickly selected three cords from the row, "Let’s take these three then."

The old man watched Yin Tian with a meaningful look, "Good eye."

Yin Tian smiled sheepishly, then handed one red cord to each Chen Yu and Zhao Wanlin.

"This... Is it really as amazing as you say?"

Chen Yu gazed at the bright red cord in her hand, somewhat bewildered.

Yin Tian spoke calmly, "Think about the red cord on your foot, and you’ll know."

Hearing that, any hesitations Chen Yu had vanished.

"The young lady is quite remarkable; though she was plagued by dwindling Fortune as a child and lost her mother young, now her luck has turned, and it will only get better and better."

When the old man said this, his gaze was fixed on Yin Tian.

Clearly, in his mind, Yin Tian was the one who changed Chen Yu’s fortunes!

Yet the old man’s simple words made Chen Yu tremble slightly.

Could this elderly gentleman really see all that?

"As for you, though you enjoy some reputation, that’s all there is to it; your life was meant to be just so. But now, everything is different."

The old man then looked at Zhao Wanlin, "Stick to what you believe in your heart, keep going."

Zhao Wanlin instinctively glanced at Yin Tian.

For some reason, he felt that the old man truly could see what was in his heart.

"And you..."

The old man’s gaze returned to Yin Tian.

"Surrounded by fog, your fate obscured..."

"I can’t make out your destiny..."
