105: Chapter 105 Cloaked in the Yellow Robe 105: Chapter 105 Cloaked in the Yellow Robe Frowning, Chen Hai remained silent.
Brother Qiang, seeing this, felt puzzled and joked, “What’s the matter, Hai?
Is it that , twenty or thirty years from now, is just too aweso for you to fathom, and you can’t even divine my fate?”
With a devil-may-care attitude, Brother Qiang probably didn’t really believe what Chen Hai had said about having so insights into the Art of Divination.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be behaving like this right now.
“Brother Qiang, the result of the divination I did has actually already co out!”
“If I’m not mistaken, you, twenty or thirty years from now, will be clad in the Yellow Robe, enjoying luxury food every day…”
After thinking it over, Chen Hai did not hide anything; he honestly spoke out the result he had divined.
However, his words were just half-finished when the laughing Brother Qiang interruptedly broke in.
“Hai, I know you’re just bluffing, but I find your words quite comforting…”
“I’ll look for those few pages of fragnted books at ho.”
“If I do find them, you co to Happy Dance Hall, and we’ll set a ti when I can bring them out for you!”
Still laughing non-stop, Brother Qiang tossed out a few words, stood tall and proud, and turned to walk towards the dance floor.
Having spoken in earnest but taken as jesting, Chen Hai felt helpless.
After a mont of silence, he started to focus on his own condition.
The divination he had just perford for Brother Qiang was sowhat perfunctory, with a fuzzy outco, but ultimately, so information was indeed divined.
Having done this divination, he felt only a slight exhaustion and sat down on a chair in the corner of the dance hall.
After resting for a while, the fatigue brought by the divination had already greatly dissipated.
Closing his eyes, Chen Hai sensed the current state of the battered Turtle Shell.
On the shell, the half that represented the Divination Skill was rely one-fifth illuminated, its light dimd.
It seed that Chen Hai’s previous assumption was still feasible.
Setting the Geomancy Inspection Skill aside for the mont, as long as he didn’t fully exert himself in divination, he wouldn’t end up weak for several days after a single session.
The only downside to this approach was that it would lead to unclear results from the divination.
Just as with the divination he had just perford for Brother Qiang, aside from foreseeing the Yellow Robe in Brother Qiang’s future, everything else was unclear.
But this, in Chen Hai’s view, wasn’t really a big deal.
When most diviners help others, the results they deduce are unclear and unfixed; they never speak definitively!
After all, predicting the future involves certain probabilities that might cause a change in destiny.
To clarify every variable, one would have to, like Chen Hai had previously done, consu their own life span.
After sitting quietly in the corner of the dance hall for a while, the song “Unforgettable Tonight” soon started, signaling the end of the night at the dance hall.
“Cousin, did you do a divination for Brother Qiang?”
Sun Jinzhong, having disappeared for a while, seemingly appearing and vanishing at will, finally reerged near Chen Hai.
“Yeah!
Is there a problem?” Chen Hai responded irritably after glancing at him.
“No problem, just asking!”
Sun Jinzhong chuckled a few tis and added, “That guy is so full of himself.
He was just showing off in front of us, claiming that he will be donning the Yellow Robe in the future and that we should start currying favor with him now!”
“Cousin, of course, I still believe in your divination skills!”
“Tell straight, is it real that Brother Qiang will don the Yellow Robe in the future, or were you just making it up?”
The cousins continued their casual conversation as they walked out of Happy Dance Hall.
Sun Jinzhong’s eyes spun around, and he tentatively spoke up, asking Chen Hai.
“Indeed, it’s real!” Chen Hai nodded, “I take my professional ethics seriously.
Since I’ve done a divination for Brother Qiang, I wouldn’t just spout nonsense about such matters!”
“I really didn’t see it, that guy is so blessed?” Incredulous, Sun Jinzhong remarked with feeling.
He grinned, “Donning the Yellow Robe, that’s like being part of the royal family.
Maintaining a good relationship with him might shield in the future!”
Hearing his cousin talk like this made Chen Hai roll his eyes.
“Brother Zhong, I forgot to ntion, the divination I did for Brother Qiang was Shandi Bo, an inauspicious sign.”
“By all accounts, his future shouldn’t be so rosy!”
“This ‘Yellow Robe’ business could very well be nothing but empty talk!”
“Maybe by that ti, there will be a profession that requires wearing Yellow Robes and dining on at and fish every day!”
Chen Hai reflected and spoke truthfully.
“Is that even possible?”
“Who can be sure about things twenty or thirty years from now?”
“You do have a point…”
While casually chatting, the two cousins returned to the hostel where they were staying in just ten to twenty minutes or so.
The next day, at nine in the morning.
Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong showed up right on ti at the entrance of Liuyuan No.1 Middle School.
A makeshift fence over two ters high had already enclosed the area by the school gate.
Seven or eight construction workers dressed as laborers, tools in hand, were already waiting nearby.
“Master Chen, Sun, over here…” Director Tao, who was talking with a foreman-like figure, quickly waved and greeted Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong upon seeing them.
The foreman was nad Zeng Zhiguo.
Seeing Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong at such a young age, he clearly harbored so doubts.
However, it took him only a mont to co around.
While offering cigarettes to Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong, he subtly complinted them a few tis.
From Director Tao, Zeng Zhiguo had learned that although the construction at Liuyuan No.1 High School’s gate was their work, they were just assisting; the real leaders of the project were Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong.
In such a situation, of course, he needed to foster a good relationship with the two of them.
“Master Chen, Brother Sun, how should this place be handled?
Just tell us what to do!”
Feigning a simple smile, Zeng Zhiguo asked Chen Hai for instructions.
“The timing should be just right now.”
Looking up at the sky, Chen Hai nodded.
He found an iron wire nearby, took a few steps to the school gate, and thought for a mont about the location of the burial site with a mummified corpse that he had surveyed.
Then, he used the iron wire in his hand to draw a neat, square circle about three ters across the ground.
“Brother Zeng, have your workers dig down right here!”
“Digging shallow won’t do; you must go down to at least seven ters deep.”
“At that point, you’ll need to be careful.
I’m guessing that sothing might erge from underground!”
Chen Hai pointed to the circle he had just drawn, giving his grave instructions to Zeng Zhiguo.
