Chapter 506: A Single Character

At this very moment,

under the gaze of the crowd,

Lian Nichang stepped forward, looked at Su Hang, bowed with a cupped fist, and said:

"I've heard that Mr. Su's divine calculations are unrivaled. The reason I've come this time is, naturally, to have my fortune told."

Hearing this, Su Hang nodded and said softly:

"Then may I ask, Miss, what is it you seek?"

Hearing Su Hang say this, Lian Nichang did not hesitate.

She immediately took the paper and brush from the little stall and, before the crowd, wrote down a strange character.

The onlookers were equally curious, following Lian Nichang's brushstrokes one by one until they finally realized that the character she had left behind was "Zhuo."

It had to be said, although the Lian Nichang before them was a female thief who struck terror into the hearts of all, her small, neat handwriting was quite beautiful!

So much so that the surrounding spectators could not help but cry out in admiration.

However, the crowd looked at this strange character before them and still could not fathom Lian Nichang's intention.

For a time, outside the Half Moon Inn, the spectators once again broke into an uproar.

"Impossible, impossible... what on earth does the character 'Zhuo' mean?"

"Exactly! What is going on with this young lady? Why leave any other character, only this single 'Zhuo'?"

"I get it now! This old fellow finally understands — the miss wants a character-reading!"

"That makes sense. You should know that when Mr. Su does a character-reading, it is unrivaled under heaven. No matter who comes, as long as they sincerely leave behind a character, Mr. Su can always speak the secret hidden in your heart!"

"That's true! As the saying goes, the greater the person, the deeper the mystery! It's just that we don't know what secret is hidden within this single character 'Zhuo'!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Regardless, this old fellow seems to sense a whiff of being troubled by love?"

"Ha! That brother there is quite the wit. You should know that since ancient times, which beauty has never been troubled by love?"

"Why is it that beauties are always cursed with ill fate? In the end, isn't it all because of private affairs of the heart?"

"Not entirely so! This old fellow is just curious — what sort of eminent person would dare take Jade Luo Sha as his wife? Isn't he afraid of being devoured by this Luo Sha?"

Hearing the crowd's endless chatter,

Lian Nichang could not help but feel a wave of embarrassment. Her originally fair face now could not help but flush a faint pink.

She had come to Mr. Su for a fortune-telling, never expecting such a crowd here pointing fingers and gossiping.

This feeling was one she did not like at all!

But the trouble was, this was the Half Moon Inn, this was Snow Moon City. No matter how you put it, this place was ultimately not a mountain stronghold, much less a place where she called the shots.

Otherwise, given Lian Nichang's temper, those remarks from the few behind her just now would have been enough to earn them a dragging-out and thirty heavy strokes of the board.

If she were truly angered, having their heads separated from their bodies would not be an impossibility.

Thinking of this, Lian Nichang sighed softly, then smiled at Su Hang before her and said:

"This girl knows Mr. Su's divine calculations are unrivaled, especially his character-reading and bone-feeling — they are unrivaled in the jianghu."

"Now that this girl has left behind this one character, I hope Mr. Su will take a look. Mr. Su's kindness — this girl will never forget it as long as she lives!"
