Glancing at the crowd in the yard, Xia Qingyu discovered that Zhou Yan looked very curious and seemed to be listening attentively.

Retracting his gaze, Xia Qingyu put away the bowl of porridge. It was specially reserved for Xiaobai and Dabai. Those little guys would probably be back soon.

"Oh, little Taoist priest, weren't you splashed with water before? We all feel sorry for you." When Zhu heard the other party asking, she hurried forward to curry his favor.

"Ms. Zhu, don't involve us in your own affairs." The others frowned and hurriedly spoke up to distance themselves from the matter.

Standing aside, Chen Jiamei lowered her head subconsciously.

Everyone just looked at her with disgust, and she even heard people whispering that it was unlucky to meet such a person.

Reaching out to pull her mother, Chen Jiamei said in a whisper, "Mom..."

Then her little arm was grabbed by her mother, and she couldn't say the words of persuasion.

A sharp pain came from her skin, and Chen Jiamei secretly bit her lower lip and did not utter a cry of pain.

To outsiders, she looked like a filial daughter who dared not refute anything her mother said.

"That little girl shouldn't do that. Don't be angry, Taoist priest." What Zhu said was totally nonsensical. She, who had nothing to do with the matter, actually meddled in other people's affairs.

"Angry? Why should I be angry?" Zhou Yan said in a cold tone, "Qingyu saved me, so I am fine. She is my savior, and I am very grateful to her."

"What the young Taoist priest said is right. It's just that the girl's method is too rude." Zhu was choked by Zhou Yan's words and replied dryly.

"If it was someone else, even if they were trying to save someone, they definitely wouldn't be so presumptuous."

After the words fell, the people who had not left looked at each other and rolled their eyes at Wang who had spoken.

Jiang Xiaotang, who was collecting the dishes, was so angry that her chest heaved. "Qingyu was in a hurry to save people. If you keep gossiping like this, then you are the one who is rude, aren't you? You are still talking behind the host's back."

Just as she was about to continue to retort, she saw Shen Qingqing waving at her. Jiang Xiaotang had to suppress her thoughts and took the bowl over.

Please say more. Listening to these words from a distance, Zhou Yan nodded in his heart.

"You have no parents to teach you, so you know nothing." Zhu looked at Jiang Xiaotang and spoke harshly to her.

Everyone looked at Zhu with more and more disgust, "Tsk tsk, why are you talking about someone else's parents when nothing is wrong?"

"Haha, after all, my parents taught me that people should respect themselves and trees should respect their skin. Since you miss my parents so much, do you want me to burn some paper money to let them know so that they can go talk to you?"

"You..." Zhu didn't expect that a little girl would dare to say that to her. Her eyes looked as if they could eat people up.

"Puchi." Someone couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

"I'm good at psychic communication. If you need anything, just let me know." Zhou Yan smiled, "It's free for those who are destined to meet me."

Hearing this, Zhu took the lead again and looked at Zhou Yan flatteringly, "Little Taoist Zhou, you are of such high status that we dare not disrespect you."

"Really?" Zhou Yan stretched out his hand and flicked his sleeves. Some people realized that his clothes were already dry, and they were full of disbelief.

"Thank you very much." Zhou Yan said, smiling, "To express my gratitude, I, the Taoist priest, specially calculated your fortune."

He pulled something out of his sleeve and threw it up casually in his hand.

Everyone looked up and saw a copper coin drawing a bright arc in the air, dazzling in the sunlight, and finally falling into his hand with a snap.

After hearing Taoist Master Zhou tell her fortune for free, Zhu felt that he was right and smiled so much that his eyes could not be seen.

She thought of her nephew being possessed by evil spirits again, and said to Zhou Yan, "Master Zhou, can you please draw a talisman to drive away evil spirits and to attract wealth?"

Looking at the old woman, Zhou Yan did not reply, but calculated quickly with his hands.

"Master, I noticed that you have been in trouble recently, and all of them were caused by your relatives." Zhou Yan took back the copper coin while looking at Zhu's confused eyes.

"Ah... Young Taoist Zhou, how can we avoid this?" Frightened by these four words, Zhu loosened her hands that were twisting the flesh and took a small step back.

Glancing at Zhu, Zhou Yan's voice became somewhat gentle, and even his speaking speed slowed down, "Everything in the world has cause and effect, good and evil are interdependent."

Looking at Zhu, Zhou Yan grinned, but if you look closely, you will find that there is no smile in his eyes.

Xia Qingyu raised her eyes in the crowd and heard Zhou Yan's words. She found it quite magical that he could actually tell fortunes.

Mr. Li and his wife smiled at each other. Lin Lan and Shen Qingqing put their arms around Xia Qingyu's shoulders and stood with her.

Zhu was about to continue speaking when she was dumbfounded, and the words she wanted to slander were stuck in her throat.

"As for the talismans for exorcising evil spirits and attracting wealth, if you need them, you can go to Feiyuan Taoist Temple to ask for them."

After he finished speaking, Zhou Yan took out all the small bags he brought with him and threw them to Xia Qingyu, "Qingyu, thank you."

After picking up the things, Zhou Yan waved goodbye to Xia Qingyu and Mr. Li, then left the yard.

Holding three brocade bags containing talisman papers, Xia Qingyu saw Zhu staring at her with a distorted face.

Old Mrs. Li took the lead and stepped forward, trying to stand in front of Xia Qingyu.

"Girl, can you please..."

"No." Lin Lan spoke immediately, and at an incredibly fast speed, she also stood in front of Xia Qingyu's door.

Looking at the people who came to protect her without any prior agreement, Xia Qingyu felt something strange in her heart, as if something was flowing in her chest, making her unable to describe the feeling.

"Mom..." Chen Jiamei hurried over to pull her mother away, shaking her head to signal her to stop talking.

"Why are you pulling me? Go wash the dishes and then go find that kid Yanxi." Zhu shook his arm away impatiently.

As if to vent his anger, he stroked Chen Jiamei's hand tightly.

Chen Jiamei, whose arm was twisted, was in so much pain that she almost cried.

She quickly lowered her head, afraid of being seen.

Seeing this, Old Lady Li smiled and greeted people, "Hey, isn't this Zhu? How come you have time to come here today?"

Seeing someone pull Zhu aside, Chen Jiamei nodded to Old Lady Li and greeted her politely, "Hello, uncle and aunt."

Looking at Chen Jiamei who lowered her head, Old Mrs. Li sighed in her heart.

Without waiting for Zhu to continue speaking, Old Lady Li picked up the piece of paper that she had been holding in her hand. It seemed a little hot, so she used it as a fan to fan herself.

"Jiamei, thank you for coming all the way to help."

"You're too polite, Auntie. It's my duty." Pinching her thigh, Chen Jiamei suppressed the bitterness in her heart.

"Mother-in-law, Jiamei will marry into our family sooner or later, so just order her around and don't be polite to her." Zhu adjusted her mood and chatted with Old Lady Li.

"Hey, stop it for now. Look at what you're saying. The engagement has already been cancelled. Look at the marriage cancellation certificate. It's all testified by the matchmaker."

Picking up the paper in her hand, Old Lady Li specifically asked Zhu to look at it together.

"This...when did this happen?"

Looking at the thin paper in front of her, Zhu was speechless for a moment, and her eyes almost popped out.
