I just want to be a middleman

"Are you okay, old man?" Qian Duoduo quickly took out the healing elixir he had concocted and handed it over. The slovenly old man didn't take it, but continued to toss the divination blocks. Now, his eyes were bleeding.

"Old man, why do you insist on looking at things that you can't see clearly? Sometimes I think it's better if I don't know some things. What do you think?" Qian Duoduo looked at the stubborn old man and wanted to continue throwing words to persuade him.

"If you want to know something, why not ask me? Don't I know myself?" The atmosphere became strange. The old man was silent, and Qian Duoduo was helpless. Fortune tellers only predict the future, whether it's wealth, karma, or anything else, it's all considered the future.

And this old man is calculating the future.

"Where are you from?" The old man's words instantly made Qian Duoduo crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was obvious from the subtext of this sentence that he saw something he shouldn't have seen. He must have seen the modern world of Qian Duoduo.

"I come from the mortal world."

The old man looked at Qian Duoduo without saying anything else. Instead, he took out a seed and handed it to Qian Duoduo, "This is for you. I hope it can help you in the future." Then he packed up his stall and left alone without even leaving any other words for Qian Duoduo.

"Duoduo, are you okay? Why did he suffer such a severe backlash for reading your fortune?" Something's wrong! Qian Duoduo is also an invader from another world, and he came here to cultivate immortality with the goal of restoring order. If you can't easily read Qian Duoduo's fortune, it's fine. But if you can see something wrong with Qian Duoduo, then won't you have to pay a price?

This old man was a person with high cultivation and ability. He vaguely saw what happened to Qian Duoduo, so he suffered backlash.

There are some taboos in fortune-telling, that is, fortune-tellers cannot tell their own fortunes. Numerology is a metaphysics that requires extremely high talent and superb skills. If one does not have talent and skills, telling one's own fortune may be inaccurate and may bring trouble to oneself.

There are five things that are not counted in fortune-telling, and three things that are not effective. The five things that are not counted are life and death, yourself, the people around you (family), those who are not sincere, and the extremely vicious people.

The three things that won’t work are those that have run out of luck, those that are evil and wicked, and those that have ended their lives. These five things and three things that won’t work are all to protect the fortune teller and avoid some unnecessary cause and effect.

Moreover, fortune-telling requires a fee, as it involves glimpsing into the secrets of heaven, and one must bear the corresponding consequences. Charging a fee is equivalent to bearing the consequences for the person seeking the divination. Furthermore, there are principles for charging a fee: less for the poor and more for the rich.

Fortune-telling should not involve life and death, because life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God. Trying to glimpse the secrets of heaven may reduce one's own blessings and lifespan.

Could it be that this old man saw Qian Duoduo's life or death? If Qian Duoduo had just questioned the old man about what he had calculated and seen, the old man would have died instantly...

"It's okay, Ling Wei, do you want to go shopping? If not, then we'll go back."

"Well, let's go back then."

Qian Duoduo and Si Lingwei returned the same way and saw a roadside vendor selling flowers. They were all very beautiful, and each flower looked so full of vitality. Qian Duoduo pulled Si Lingwei towards the flower stall, picked up a red wreath and put it on Si Lingwei's head. "Do you like this color? If not, change it."

"Brother, this flower is so beautiful! Let's buy some too."

She met Ren Xuyang and his lackey sisters again. Qian Duoduo ignored them and just tried to put the wreath on Si Lingwei. Every time she wanted to take the wreath, there was always another hand that took it before her. Ren Xuyang didn't care what his sisters did.

He only said to Si Lingwei, "Sister Lingwei, I'll buy you whichever one you like."

"Senior brother, I want one too!" As soon as this junior sister saw it, she liked Ren Xuyang and regarded Si Lingwei as a love rival. Her nose was not a nose, and her eyes were not eyes. She wanted to stab people as soon as they met. This is really stupid!

"Buy them all and choose the one you like." Not only is this a big injustice, but it's also central air conditioning. At least his fiancée must be different from others, right?

"Thank you, Brother Xuyang. I don't like it. Duoduo, let's go." Si Lingwei pulled Qian Duoduo away. She was smiling happily when she was choosing the wreath just now, but it seemed that she was really angry now.

"Duoduo, is this the scumbag described in the books? Look at him, he buys everything for anyone who asks for it, he has no sense of propriety at all." Qian Duoduo was the only one present who was happiest because her books and novels were finally useful!

In the past, Si Lingwei might not have understood and would have just thought that Ren Xuyang was a good senior brother who was kind to his junior sisters. But now, under the influence of those books, Si Lingwei would look at the problem from other perspectives!

"Yeah, regardless of whether he's a scumbag or not, we shouldn't let him affect our mood. Besides, the person who truly treats you well and loves you only has eyes for you and no one else. And the way they treat you is very different from the way they treat other people. To you, they're like a warm and gentle spring, while to others, they're like a freezing cold winter."

Seeing that Si Lingwei was silent, Qian Duoduo didn't say anything, but accompanied her back to the inn. Then he made a bouquet of ten lucky flowers, and then made a wreath with various flowers grown in the space.

Qian Duoduo covered his face with the bouquet of flowers and knocked on Si Lingwei's door. "Who is it?" Si Lingwei opened the door and saw a bouquet of flowers enlarged in front of her. Qian Duoduo tilted his head and imitated Si Lingwei's words, "Who is it? Who is this?"

"Duoduo!! What beautiful flowers!" Qian Duoduo handed the flowers to Si Lingwei, then walked into the room with Si Lingwei and put the wreath on Si Lingwei. "It looks beautiful. Do you like it?"

"Yeah, I like it. Thank you Duoduo!" Si Lingwei sniffed the bouquet and looked at Qian Duoduo with joy in her eyes.

What's the difference between this and Qian Duoduo raising a daughter? The only difference is that they are both about the same age... Looking at Si Lingwei's cute appearance, Qian Duoduo cursed Ren Xuyang's ancestors in his heart. If you don't love her, then don't love her, but don't hurt her either!

"I'll send it to you often in the future if you like. I'm going back to my room to rest. You should also go to bed early."

When Qian Duoduo closed the door when she went out, she saw Ren Xuyang opposite her looking at her. Qian Duoduo gave him a very polite smile and then returned to her room.

"Fulai, plant the seeds that the old man gave you today in the yard and water them with spiritual spring water every day. This will definitely help me in the future."

"understood."

Qian Duoduo opened the system and found Su Jinnian, "Master, give me something to use." Then he threw ten bomb emoticons at the other party.

Peerless Martial Arts Secret Manual Shop (Su Jinnian): "When things are going well, I'm your master, but when things are good, I'm a stranger, right?"

Happy Farmer Xiao Qian: "Sir, you're being too harsh. Every time you order food, it's never delivered. And you've eaten a lot of the fruit in the fruit baskets. And you ate it without paying!"

Qian Duoduo didn't have time to check the system messages when he was practicing, so he always asked Fulai to prepare food for Su Jinnian. As long as they ordered food from the menu in Duoduo Grocery Store, Fulai would act as the middleman to place the order for them. Su Jinnian ate so much food but didn't pay for it.

And those fruit baskets! Although the space is full of money and produces quickly, that's not how you use it. You say you don't ask for anything in return, but when I needed your help, you didn't help. That's a nice thought.

Peerless Martial Arts Secret Manual Shop (Su Jinnian): "I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you. Don't be so impatient. Impatience is not good for cultivation. What do you want? I'll give it to you!"

The opponent sends you 3 Teleportation Talismans, 5 Thunder Talismans, 5 Immobilization Talismans, 1 Seven-Step Death Powder, 1 Mist-Dispersing Pill, and 5 Fire Bullet Pills.

Su Jinnian finally found some junk to send over, which should be enough. After all, he couldn't use those things himself, so it was more than enough for Qian Duoduo.

Qian Duoduo was overjoyed when he saw these things. He originally only wanted a little bit, but he didn't expect to receive a large amount. It should be enough for use in the secret realm.

"Fulai, order something for my grandfather according to his taste and send it over. And order me two cakes, too. I haven't had any in a while. I want the ones with taro paste!"

Qian Duoduo was eating the cake, "Fu Lai, give me another one with cream, I'm greedy."

Qian Duoduo ate with big mouthfuls, and after finishing his meal he began to meditate and practice. Now Qian Duoduo is no longer the Qian Duoduo who couldn't even draw Qi into his body!
