Mu Li and Xiao Cai didn't want to cause more trouble, but seeing the pleading in Madam Mu's eyes, they finally couldn't bear it, so they agreed.
Xiao Cai said: "Then you can't sit here. Let's find a suitable place to sit and quietly invite the fortune teller over."
Mrs. Mu kept thanking her and obeyed their arrangements.
Xiao Cai led her outside, while Mu Li went to look for the magic stick.
The divination people surrounded the magic stick. Mu Li was about to squeeze in, but he was grabbed by an old lady and yelled: "You young man, you want to be shameless? Everything has a first come, a first come."
Isn’t it shameless to use your youth and strength to squeeze in?”
The old lady spat on Mu Li's face. Mu Li was a little angry and wanted to say, why don't everyone squeeze in? Why is it his turn to be shameless?
But looking at the countless pairs of eyes staring around me, I was afraid of causing more trouble, so I had to endure it.
But I heard the magician say loudly in the crowd: "If you don't do this again, I won't do it! This is to benefit the public and solve everyone's problems, but if something happens because of me, it won't be fun!"
Everyone suddenly shouted: "How can that be done? No, gods, living gods, look at our pity, just do it..."
Mu Li was isolated outside and couldn't see the magic stick clearly, so he simply dragged a bench over, jumped up, and looked in from a high position.
At first glance, he saw a young man in his twenties, wearing a long green cloth gown, with neatly combed hair. He was elegant and handsome, with a straight face, pretending to be serious and righteous.
Looking again, he burst into laughter. Isn't that Zhou Yifu? A good scholar turned into a magic stick.
His laughter was sudden and caused a lot of angry stares.
Zhou Yifu naturally heard it too. When he looked up, his heart skipped a beat and he was stunned.
Mu Li didn't say much, jumped off the bench and left.
Just listen to Zhou Yifu shouting loudly from behind: "Today's destined person has appeared, you should leave quickly, I will count three tomorrow!"
The crowd naturally refused to leave, whining and shouting, and wouldn't let go.
Mu Li watched coldly, waiting to see what Zhou Yifu would do.
But Zhou Yifu shouted: "My heart hurts so much!" His eyes rolled up and he fell to the ground.
Someone reached out to touch it and shouted in horror: "I'm out of breath!"
Everyone was shocked and dispersed like birds and beasts.
After a while, Zhou Yifu opened half of his eyes, looked around, suddenly jumped up, and ran out quickly.
Mu Li stood outside the door and turned around when he saw this.
The two of them came to a secluded place one after another. Zhou Yifu caught up with him and said in surprise: "Brother Xiao Li, why are you here?"
Mu Ying used to call Mu Li "Brother Xiao Li", and Zhou Yifu followed suit, not looking down on Mu Li because of his different status.
Mu Li's eyes showed some tenderness and a pleasant expression: "How come the second young master is here?"
Zhou Yifu sighed and smiled bitterly: "I came to find Xiaoying. I searched all the way to Wangjing, but lost track of her. Then there was chaos in the capital. I felt something was wrong, so I went outside.
Isn’t there no trouble on this journey? In my early years, I studied in the library of the Priest Palace for a few years. I received guidance from adults and learned a little bit about divination, so..."
He smiled sheepishly, "I'm not good at studying, and I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing, so I only do one fortune a day, so I'm safe."
Mu Li thought about his appearance just now and smiled: "It's very good. I'll treat you with admiration after three days of separation. The second young master is very different now from before."
