Chapter 680: Chapter 101 Worthy of Him_2 Chapter 680: Chapter 101 Worthy of Him_2 “Um, but I know this big shot, he’s the best at underplaying things. He’ll only give you a thirty percent assurance on sothing he’s ninety percent sure about, for fear you’ll co back to him with problems next ti.”
“So how did you know?” Ye Jun asked curiously.
“I have ‘Eyes of Golden Fla’,” Yan Yu said.
This answer was as good as none… Ye Jun couldn’t be bothered to argue with him and straightforwardly asked Li Zhikang:
“Big shot, you’re confident, right?”
“No,” Li Zhikang replied, “Anyway, I’ll try my best to help you guys, but whether it turns out well or not, I can’t guarantee.”
He’s exactly like Yan Yu described. Ye Jun muttered to herself and continued:
“Big shot, would you mind revealing what thod you’re using?”
“Divination Technique,” Li Zhikang replied.
Ye Jun:…
This she had never heard of, what ‘grass’ was it again?
But after all, this was a matter of great importance. If this whatever ‘grass divination’ didn’t work, and the Elixir dicine seller got away, finding him later would be exceedingly difficult. Therefore, for caution’s sake, Ye Jun continued to inquire:
“Do you mind doing a test first?”
“Go ahead,” Li Zhikang said indifferently.
“How about testing my romantic fate?” Ye Jun suggested.
“You have to be more specific,” Li Zhikang said, “For example, if you’ve found a match and ask if it could work out, I could calculate it for you. ‘Romantic fate’ is too broad, how am I supposed to calculate that?”
“Divination is like ordering from a nu at a restaurant, give a nu and I can calculate which you’d prefer; but without a nu, how can I make a guess? What if you like a hundred dishes?”
“A hundred dish nas aren’t too many,” Ye Jun retorted, “Braised tofu with shrimp, sliced stomach in random garlic, sizzling pork loin with wood ear mushrooms, net-bouncing carp with lion’s head atballs, isn’t this off the top of my head? If not, just calculate a few and tell those few, I’m not asking you to na them all, am I?”
This old man really lacks insight, Yan Yu is right beside ! How am I supposed to say that?
Can I just blurt out, “I want you to calculate whether my romantic fate will end up with Yan Yu”? If he hears that, wouldn’t I die of embarrassnt? If you knew how to transmit ssages telepathically, I could still whisper it to you, but I can’t bring myself to say this with him listening.
Li Zhikang, seeing she was reluctant to be direct but insisted on the romantic fate query and glanced at Yan Yu next to her, cursed himself internally for being unable to see the obvious. Thus, he took out a handful of divination “grass”, fussing with them in his hands while murmuring incantations.
Watching his mysterious movents, Ye Jun couldn’t help feeling nervous and unconsciously clutched Yan Yu’s arm.
Yan Yu was also puzzled but since the sisters hadn’t yet arrived at the eting spot and there was still ti, he decided to see what result the diviner would co up with for Ye Jun.
“Strange,” Li Zhikang muttered, tugging at his beard. “I’ve never seen such a strange divination sign before.”
After much deliberation, he finally said honestly:
“Although it can work out, it’s not an ideal match. Pretty strange, maybe it’s just that my skills are lacking.”
Ye Jun only caught the first part about it working out and imdiately felt relieved. That’s all that mattered! She didn’t want to invest a lot of effort only to end up as just a confidante or, worse, being invited by his future wife to be a bridesmaid at their wedding. That would be both an emotional and social loss.
As for “not an ideal match,” she subconsciously ignored it.
An ideal match? Who defines that? How can you tell?
There are beautiful girls who marry short, fat husbands, and everyone also says they’re not a match. But she likes him, so what if it’s not the perfect match? Don’t I know my own preferences?
Yan Yu, however, frowned. What the hell does he an by “not an ideal match”? You’re definitely calculating the romantic fate between and Ye Jun, right? How am I not an ideal match?
Hold on, if the standard for an ideal match is “indispensable,” then I indeed fall short. After all, my original intention was to think that it was a pity for Ye Jun to lose heart and choose to retire to a desk job after being dumped by the Dragon Soar Team in her previous life, and I just wanted to offer her a chance to shine again.
But from her perspective, she doesn’t know that I pitied her after seeing her wretched past life. She must think I have a liking for her since I took the initiative to care for her, thus developing a bit of affection for . Can I be blad for that?
I value talent, not pity for beauty. So if Master Li was calculating her career, it would surely turn into “after darkness cos the dawn,” but since it’s about romance, there might indeed be a bit…
Well, well! How many ideal matches are there in the world? As long as you make the right choice and have no regrets later, that’s all that matters.
Li Zhikang stole glances at Yan Yu’s expression, ready with an explanation for the “not an ideal match” part, but seeing his lack of reaction, he again beca puzzled.
As the saying goes, a barking dog doesn’t bite. It would be better if he blew up right then and there, at least it would be straightforward. The silent types are the ones to watch out for—they might be planning to stab you in the back! I certainly wouldn’t want to catch a knife thrown by the Divine General Dinghai.
He quickly took out the divination “grass” again, casting another divination and after a mont, said with a smile:
“Now I understand.”
“What is it?” Ye Jun asked.
“Why is it ‘not an ideal match’?” Li Zhikang declared emphatically, “Because it’s not a match of equal social rank! Young lady, the person you’re seeking a romantic fate with has already reached the ‘dragon soaring in the sky’ status. If you want this to work out, you’ll have to take the difficult path to ascend. Otherwise, even if it works, it would be the other person settling, how could that be an ideal match?”
At those words, Ye Jun felt as if struck by lightning: What? I’m not good enough for him?
