Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 462 - 461: Don’t tell me, you’re born in the year of the Rooster?

"Is this what you meant when you said the physiognomy was incorrect?" Xu Yanran quickly recovered her senses and asked.

"Of course not, issues of the heart are always complicated; there's no need for alarm," Lv Chongliang shook his head and said.

"Then what is it?" Xu Yanran asked, seemingly forgetting that her hand was still being held by Lv Chongliang.

"Just now, while observing your destiny palace—also commonly referred to as your hall of impression—I noticed it appeared somewhat dark. I suspect you might face a mishap involving bloodshed soon, but I wasn't certain until I saw your index finger showing signs of blood underneath the skin. I fear this mishap is very likely," Lv Chongliang said gravely.

"How can't I see any sign of blood underneath my index finger?" Xu Yanran leaned in closer, looking down at her own finger.

"Naturally, you wouldn't be able to see it. A true fortune teller does not merely look at the exterior but at the internal essence. When I mention that your hall of impression is dark, I mean there is an inner dullness and lack of brilliance, which those untrained in the art of physiognomy would not detect," Lv Chongliang replied.

Ge Dongxu was taken aback momentarily by the mention of a bloodshed mishap before he instinctively glanced at Xu Yanran.

Upon looking, he truly noticed that she might face a minor mishap involving bloodshed soon.

"How should this be resolved?" Xu Yanran asked.

"It's simple; just find a man born in the year of the Rooster to spend some time with you. The rooster is heralded as a creature of 'Five Virtues': it has a crest, representing scholarly virtue; its spurs signify martial virtue; it shows bravery in front of enemies, signifying courage; it calls its peers for feeding, showing benevolence; and it keeps watch at night, hailing the dawn—that's faith virtue. Moreover, the rooster is an auspicious creature that wards off evil and can eliminate all sorts of poisonous insects, clearing harm for humans. If you spend some time with a man born in the year of the Rooster, you can naturally embrace good fortune and avoid this impending calamity," Lv Chongliang explained. Both Xu Yanran and even Luo Peng, who believed Lv Chongliang was exploiting inside information to deceive Xu Yanran, were stunned by his words.

This fellow indeed has a knack for this! Such words would never come out from a man of science like him.

"Don't tell me you are born in the year of the Rooster?" Xu Yanran, being a university student, had always believed that fortune-telling was nothing but feudal superstition, sparked only by a moment of curiosity after seeing Lv Chongliang speak so earnestly. However, after hearing about needing to spend time with a man born in the year of the Rooster, she suddenly snapped out of it, withdrew her hand, and gave Lv Chongliang a somewhat mocking look.

"I am, indeed, born in the year of the Rooster, but what I said is true," Lv Chongliang stated earnestly.

"Do you think I would believe that? Did you think I wouldn't know someone filled you in about my identity earlier? He looks a bit familiar; is he from Jiangnan University, perhaps?" Xu Yanran glanced at Luo Peng and then spoke to Lv Chongliang.

Seeing Xu Yanran looking at Luo Peng, Lv Chongliang knew he had been found out and could only offer a sheepish smile in return.

Realizing she had been right, Xu Yanran recalled that the presumptuous youth had touched her hand, glaring at him sharply before picking up the fashion magazine again.

"Honestly, I think what Lv Chongliang said was correct, your hall of impression indeed looks a bit dark. If possible, you should try to avoid going to West City for a while; you should be fine. But, of course, believe it or not, that's up to you," Ge Dongxu hesitated for a moment before kindly warning her as she picked up the magazine again.

After all, an encounter is fate, and they were also schoolmates. Knowing she genuinely faced an impending blood mishap, Ge Dongxu felt uneasy not to mention it. Of course, once warned, whether she believed it or not was her own affair.

Many things in life are destined, and trying to reveal or alter them is often seen as defying the heavens; frequently doing so could very well intertwine one into a mysterious cycle of karmic retribution. Those with profound cultivation might be lightly affected, but for those with moderate cultivation, frequent involvement could lead to trouble.

This is like a person who always loves to be nosy; it doesn't matter if you are capable, but if you're just an ordinary citizen and still want to meddle in stuff, trouble is bound to follow you sooner or later. Therefore, the saying "Heaven's secrets must not be revealed" holds profound significance for a true Fortune Teller; it's not just something to say casually.

This is why true Fortune Tellers only give hints and leave the specifics for you to figure out on your own.

Ge Dongxu not only pointed things out but also suggested a solution. In fact, he had already gone above and beyond; he couldn't possibly prove anything else just to make Xu Yanran believe.

Chongliang should understand this, but he didn't realize how much more powerful Ge Dongxu was than him—a half-baked Fortune Teller; he still thought Ge Dongxu was also trying to hit on the campus beauty.

Luo Peng thought the same, so when they saw Ge Dongxu also start to act mysteriously, they couldn't help but turn their heads, pretending not to know him.

This trick has already been exposed; still repeating it? Such intelligence, such emotional intelligence is really worrying!

"Have you heard the story of 'Dongshi, the ugly imitator'? This guy at least has some talent for pretense!" Xu Yanran obviously thought so too, turned her head to glance at Ge Dongxu, and said with a sneer.

Ge Dongxu just smiled faintly, not saying anything more.

The train continued to make its way, stopping at some stations along the way, with people getting on and off.

Later, a seat next to Chongliang was taken by another college student, who was not from Jiangnan University.

As time gradually reached late night, Xu Yanran started to find it hard to resist sleepiness, swaying in her seat until she eventually leaned against Ge Dongxu's shoulder, making Chongliang and another male student from a different school stare wide-eyed, a look of envy and jealousy on their faces.

Ge Dongxu felt a bit uncomfortable, lightly shifting towards the window, but he hadn't expected Xu Yanran, once asleep, to sleep so deeply. She even followed him, and instinctively hugged Ge Dongxu's arm because it was more comfortable that way.

This time, not only did Chongliang and the others stare dumbfounded, but even Ge Dongxu was a bit shocked.

Would he push her away, or just let her continue to "cling" to him?

After thinking about it, Ge Dongxu decided to wake Xu Yanran up.

This campus beauty was obviously a bit arrogant, looking down on newcomers like them. When she woke up, she might even think Ge Dongxu was trying to take advantage of her.

Xu Yanran groggily opened her eyes and, seeing herself holding Ge Dongxu's arm, suddenly woke up.

Fortunately, she wasn't without brains; she didn't scold Ge Dongxu for being a pervert, but just gave him a meaningful look and then closed her eyes again.

That meaningful look from Xu Yanran made Ge Dongxu feel uncomfortable, as if something was not quite right.
