These freshn, who had buried their noses in books for three years of high school, oblivious to the world around them, were akin to birds let out of their cages upon entering university — Yet the atmosphere on the bus remained sowhat subdued before Lv Chongliang boarded, as most students were introverted due to their years of intensive study and unfamiliarity with one another.
As soon as Lv Chongliang hopped on the bus, he started chatting, and the mood quickly livened up.
These freshn were all greenhorns, fresh and naive. How could they compare with Lv Chongliang, who was born into a family of fortune tellers and had been imrsed in the ways of the three teachings and nine schools, and the street smarts of the jianghu since childhood?
Before long, everyone was srized by the little charlatan, looking at him with shining eyes.
"This classmate, looking at your 'brother palace,' you must be the youngest child at ho, with an older brother or sister, I assu."
"Wow, you can tell that?"
Ge Dongxu, watching from the side, almost burst into laughter. Was that sothing that needed to be seen? Since the early '80s, Jiangnan Province had heeded the national call and fully implented family planning policies. By 1982, when family planning beca a fundantal national policy, enforcent grew even stricter.
The majority of these freshn were born after 1980 or 1981. After their birth, unless their parents were those who favored sons over daughters and sought ways to evade the policy, most would follow the regulations and not have more children.
Therefore, naturally, these students would be the youngest in their families.
And as for having older siblings, before the implentation of family planning, people in Huaxia Country still held to the tradition that many children ant prosperity, and generally they would not stop at just one child. It was relatively rare for soone like Ge Dongxu to be an only child.
Lv Chongliang had intentionally picked a male student to address, which made the guess even more certain.
Of course, these freshn, naive and inexperienced, wouldn't think too much into it.
"Of course, and that's not all. I can also tell that your parents are both still alive and in good health," Lv Chongliang continued his bluff.
During the conversation, he subtly looked around and noticed one male student's expression darken at the ntion of his parents. He imdiately pointed at him and said, "One of your parents must have passed away, but don't be sad. They would be very happy to know you've made it into Jiangnan University."
The others looked towards the male student, who nodded in response to their glances.
"Wow! That's really sothing! To think you could figure that out!" The freshn on the bus were totally blown away, and even the upperclassn who were there to help were caught off guard by Lv Chongliang's spiel.
So might not delve deep into his earlier predictions regarding being the youngest child or having living parents; freshn might not see through it, but the upperclassn could spot the trick.
At this age, it's expected that parents would be alive and well, still in their pri years, and generally in good health.
But to accurately point out that a student's parent had passed away, that truly carried an air of mystique, making it hard for others not to start believing that Lv Chongliang might possess so real skills in face reading and fortune telling.
Seeing that he had everyone's attention, Lv Chongliang's eyes darted around and landed on a beautiful girl.
He then approached and tapped on the shoulder of another girl sitting next to the beauty, saying, "May I take this seat?"
The girl imdiately got up and yielded her seat to Lv Chongliang. He sat down and began to stare intently at the beautiful girl beside him, making her feel quite uncomfortable.
"I say, classmate, is there sothing wrong with ?"
"There's no problem per se, but there is a big problem indeed!"
"Ah, what's the problem?" the pretty girl was startled and asked hastily.
"You're going to experience a blood on soon," Lv Chongliang said with a serious face.
"Cough cough!" Ge Dongxu, who was just drinking water from his bottle, choked on his drink upon hearing this.
Lv Chongliang heard the sound of Ge Dongxu choking and gave him a stealthy glare.
"Ah, then what should I do?" the pretty girl's face turned pale in fright.
"Don't worry, there's no need to be nervous. Since I've foreseen it, naturally I have a way to resolve it," Lv Chongliang said, posing as a sage with everything under control, offering reassurance.
"What's the solution?" the pretty girl asked.
"It's simple, just find a man born at noon under the sign of the Rooster to keep you company for a while. The rooster is known as the 'bird of the five virtues.' With a crest on its head, it represents the virtue of scholarship; with spurs on its feet for fighting, that's martial virtue; it's brave in the face of enemies, showing courage; it calls its kind to share food, embodying benevolence; and it keeps watch at night, calling at dawn, showing faithfulness. The rooster is also considered a symbol of auspiciousness, able to ward off evil, and can consu various poisonous insects, eliminating harm to humans. If you find a man born at noon in the year of the Rooster to accompany you, you can naturally embrace good fortune and avoid the blood on," Lv Chongliang replied.
However, since at least half of the male students on this trip probably belonged to the sign of the Rooster, he deliberately added the condition that the man had to be born at noon.
The pretty girl, being naive, evidently didn't have the alertness or cunning of Xu Yanran. Upon hearing his words, she said, "Oh dear, not a single guy from our class got into Jiangnan University, and even if there were so, it's not likely they'd be born at noon in the year of the Rooster! What should I do now?"
Seeing this, Ge Dongxu almost wanted to take out his badge as a senior consultant from the Special Ability Managent Bureau and throw it at Lv Chongliang.
He just couldn't stand it anymore!
Is this what a Qin Sorcerer is? It's incredibly embarrassing!
However, Lv Chongliang didn't seem to find it embarrassing at all and shalessly promoted himself.
Then, on the very first day of school admission, Lv Chongliang finally managed to hook up with the first pretty girl he encountered.
Of course, he didn't know that one of the freshn who had followed him from the train and then onto the bus was actually a senior consultant from the Special Ability Managent Bureau. Otherwise, even if he had all the courage in the world, he wouldn't dare to show off and swindle in front of Ge Dongxu.
The bus departed from the train station and headed towards Jiangnan University.
Most of the new students were visiting Linzhou City for the first ti, and they couldn't help but look out the windows with curiosity, the pretty girl included.
Lv Chongliang apparently had been to Linzhou City before and was pointing things out here and there, explaining to the pretty girl, who couldn't help but look at him with eyes filled with involuntary admiration.
"This guy!" Ge Dongxu couldn't help but shake his head with a mix of laughter and tears upon seeing this.
The bus quickly arrived at Jiangnan University, and as they got off, they could see banners welcoming the new students everywhere, as well as enthusiastic current students greeting the newcors.
This was when you could really see the importance of good looks.
Usually, the beautiful girls and handso guys had no shortage of people coming over to greet them. There was no need for them to poke their heads around in the crowd to find their college's booth on their own.
