Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!-Chapter 1448: Qiao Zhihe Extra (2)
But he had painstakingly studied painting, and when he finally felt confident in his skills, the person who would appreciate his art was no longer there.
Qiao Zhihe stayed alone in the room for a long time.
This was almost a habit of his; he would spend some time alone here about every week.
Finally, he sighed lightly, locked the door again, and stepped out.
The weather was very nice this afternoon, so Qiao Zhihe put on a hat, carried his drawing board, and went out.
Today he planned to visit a famous Lake View Park in the city, hoping to find some inspiration. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
It’s not the weekend, and since it’s the afternoon, there weren’t many people in the park.
Qiao Zhihe had just sat down not long before an old man next to him spoke: "Young man, are you interested in a reading?"
It was then that Qiao Zhihe noticed a white cloth at the old man’s feet, with the words Ironmouth Divine Calculation written on it.
However, he never believed in such things and shook his head to refuse.
The old man, seeing this, did not insist.
More than half an hour had passed, and no one else had come by.
Perhaps feeling bored, the old man spoke again: "Young man, since there’s nothing else to do, how about I do a reading for you?"
As if afraid Qiao Zhihe might refuse, he added: "The old man is just bored and took a walk today; meeting you is fate, so I won’t charge you a divination fee."
Qiao Zhihe felt a little apologetic for having an old man call him twice, not wishing to disappoint him, he put down his pen and walked over to the old man.
"Is there anything I need to do?" he asked.
The old man shook his head and looked at him carefully.
Immediately, the old man’s brows furrowed: "Your forehead and eyebrows are connected, energy disperses and doesn’t concentrate... this is clearly the look of a short life, something’s off!"
He looked at Qiao Zhihe as if he’d seen something extremely rare.
Qiao Zhihe felt uncomfortable under such a gaze and asked what was wrong.
The old man looked at him and said: "I observe your face, it clearly shows signs of premature death. Yet I don’t know which divine being has dared to defy the Heavenly Dao and forcibly changed your Life Pattern to one of complete fortune and longevity. Moreover..."
Furthermore, this Life Pattern clearly has been taken from someone else.
Only, this young man carries no negative karma, indicating that the person whose fate was taken wasn’t a saintly person.
Hearing this, Qiao Zhihe felt a bit displeased.
He took out a wad of money from his wallet and handed it to the old man: "Old man, since you’re doing readings, it’s better to say auspicious things, or else..."
The old man knew immediately what Qiao Zhihe was thinking; clearly, he didn’t trust him!
He didn’t take Qiao Zhihe’s money and snorted coldly: "Young man, do you think I’m some kind of con artist who spouts nonsense?"
"According to what I discerned, when you were seventeen, there was a major calamity in your fate, which should have claimed your life. The time should be mid-July when the yin energy is the heaviest. Think about it, did you encounter any perilous incidents but didn’t lose your life?"
Hearing this, Qiao Zhihe recalled the time he nearly got hit by a car back then.
He vaguely started to believe: How could there be such coincidences in this world?
The old man could see from his expression that he had guessed correctly.
He continued: "I don’t know what kind of person would risk the consequences of being punished by the Heavenly Dao to change your fate against the natural order; such skills, I, the old man, truly admire!"
