I really am a fortune teller

Wei Chen slowly walked over. Lin Xiao smiled, as warm as a spring breeze, but his eyes were as cold as unfathomable ice.

Wei Chen was taken aback, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart. This kind of person was not easy to mess with; to put it bluntly, he was a smiling tiger who could turn on you at any time.

Wei Chen glanced at Lin Xiao and said cautiously, "Hello, Uncle."

"Don't try to pull strings." Sure enough, that gentle smile was fake. Lin Xiao glanced back at Wei Chen and said calmly, "Kid, your engagement with my daughter has been dissolved, do you know that?"

Wei Chen never expected that the first thing Lin Xiao said to him would be this.

"Rescinded? How is that possible?" Wei Chen quickly said, "My father didn't tell me this."

"Your father is probably too embarrassed to say it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Lin Xiao said calmly, "What I'm telling you is the truth. You have indeed broken off your engagement with my daughter. That's why I don't agree to you two meeting. It's not proper, and it would have a bad influence on my daughter. Do you understand?"

They've come to demand an explanation.

Wei Chen quietly asked the system, "My engagement was broken off by my father under pressure from the Lin family."

100%

"My father felt too ashamed to face me after the engagement was broken off, which is why he didn't tell me."

100%

"The Lin family gave my father a bribe."

0%

"The Lin family benefited from the annulment of my engagement."

100%

"It was the Wei family who gave him the benefits."

80%

……

Wei Chen squinted, looking all smiles, but he asked the system all the questions. Since he had this special skill, all the information he received was correct.

Wei Chen squinted and said irritably, "Uncle, what you're saying is going too far. What did you say when the marriage agreement was made? If one party goes back on their word, they will be struck by lightning."

What Wei Chen said was true; the terms written in the marriage contract were indeed as stated.

Lin Xiao blinked and said, "We changed our minds. We even gave your father a lot of benefits. Besides, what era are we living in now? You've lived in Xihe Town for so long, our daughter already has someone else in her heart. How could she possibly marry you?"

Wei Chen suppressed his anger. He knew that Lin Xiao was lying, but he just couldn't help but get furious.

He couldn't believe Lin Xueyao had changed her mind so easily. Wei Chen was suddenly surprised to discover that his emotions were basically driven by the original owner's thoughts.

“But I heard that your daughter is going to hold a martial arts contest to find a husband. Even if I am no longer engaged to her, it doesn’t mean I can’t participate in the contest, right? Isn’t this a matter of the most capable person winning?” Wei Chen said confidently, and seemed to have no flaws.

Lin Xiao stared wide-eyed at Wei Chen. In that instant, he seemed to see the arrogant and unrestrained child from a few years ago return. He shook his head and suddenly laughed: "You?"

"Just me," Wei Chen said calmly, still exuding strong confidence.

Lin Xiao suddenly laughed. He didn't want to discourage the younger generation, but he had to: "This is a life-or-death battle, Wei Chen. If you're not absolutely certain of victory, don't participate. People will die."

Lin Xiao's attitude made Wei Chen a little uneasy. In his memory, Lin Xiao was definitely not this kind of good person. Why was he suddenly being so nice to him?

Lin Xiao changed the subject and looked at Wei Chen with a smile, saying, "Of course, if you insist on doing so, there's nothing I can do. But not everyone is qualified to enter the arena. Our two families were such good friends before, so naturally I don't want anything to happen to you. I'll give you the ticket; whether you go or not is up to you."

As Lin Xiao spoke, he took out a bright red ticket from his pocket, placed it on the table, stood up, and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I've already paid. Good luck!"

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he turned and left. Just as Wei Chen picked up the tickets on the table, Lin Xiao suddenly said, "Don't disappoint me. After all, I used to have high hopes for you."

If Wei Chen didn't have those memories from the original owner of the body, then this statement would be quite credible.

Lin Xiao was in a good mood after leaving Starbucks, and even hummed a little tune: "Don't disappoint me, Wei Chen. You've never been a coward since you were a kid. You'll definitely go, right? When the time comes, let those people in the martial arts arena take you down, and I won't need to bother dealing with you anymore."

Wei Chen stared blankly at the ticket in front of him, then suddenly sneered: "I don't believe you for a second, you old geezer, you're really wicked, I almost fell for it. You want to kill me? You'll have to see if you have the ability."

"I still hope you will go to the martial arts arena this time. In the arena, your opponent will definitely use ghosts or other Taoist magic to deal with you. If you kill those ghosts, you will gain a lot of merit points."

The system's cold voice rang in my ears, this time without any attempt to be cute, and spoke with unusual seriousness.

Wei Chen sighed and continued, "But I really don't want to move. Besides, why do you keep asking me to kill those ghosts? Can't I just help them pass on to the afterlife?"

"You?" The system finally had a slightly human voice, but thankfully, it didn't try to be cute this time: "The difficulty of performing a ritual to deliver the deceased is four times that of killing them. It's not that I don't trust you, but it's just too troublesome. However, the merit points for performing a ritual to deliver the deceased will be much more than those for killing them, up to twice as much."

"Is this still fluctuating up and down?" Wei Chen's eyes widened.

"Yes."

The system answered decisively.

Wei Chen sighed and continued, "It sounds quite tempting. This martial arts arena starts tomorrow. Everyone enters with five points. If you lose all your points, you're eliminated. The top ten will be eligible to enter the marriage proposal process."

What Wei Chen said was all written on that ticket, and it was all clearly organized.

"Sure, I'll just go for it. It's no big deal." Wei Chen stuffed the ticket into his pocket, downed his coffee in one gulp, and turned to walk towards the door.

The system prompted from the side: "Don't you need to prepare something? Like making talismans or something."

"I can only create one-star talismans right now." Wei Chen sighed. "Besides, I still have you. What am I afraid of? Anyone who disobeys, I'll give them a palm strike. If that doesn't kill them, I'll beat them to death."

The system then said calmly, "You just said you were going to perform a ritual to help others pass on to the afterlife?"

“Of course, killing is more satisfying.” Wei Chen almost choked on his own saliva: “Let’s talk about salvation later, I’m not cut out for that.”
