Bing Tianyi, seeing the situation, hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Chen Qian furrowed his brows tightly and looked at Bing Tianyi, asking in a low but firm voice, "Are you going or not?"
Bing Tianyi smiled bitterly and said to Chen Qian with helplessness, "If you want me to go out of town, there should at least be a reason, right? Besides, the business has just gotten on track. What if I run into trouble if I leave?"
"Someone wants to kill you." Seeing Bing Tianyi's persistent questioning, Chen Qian couldn't help but speak frankly.
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi laughed and said, "Alright, this must be Wang Ziyan trying to trick you. I hardly have any enemies in the county; how could someone be planning to take me out? Moreover, the police are already keeping an eye on Qiangzi's side; he wouldn't dare act recklessly."
"From what Wang Ziyan said, this person shouldn't be Qiangzi," Chen Qian frowned and replied.
"Not Qiangzi? Then who could it be?" Bing Tianyi retorted.
"How would I know? Anyway, you should probably lay low for the next few days," Chen Qian said to Bing Tianyi in a commanding tone.
To avoid worrying Chen Qian, Bing Tianyi nodded and agreed with a smile. However, he knew deep down that this matter was definitely unfounded.
After staying in the hospital for more than two hours, it was only when Chen Qian's mother arrived that Bing Tianyi took his leave.
Once outside the hospital, Bing Tianyi pondered deeply, feeling anxious.
He found Nan Hao and shared the situation with him. To Bing Tianyi's surprise, Nan Hao looked at him earnestly and said, "Brother Bing, I've actually noticed that you might be facing some trouble recently. However, I can't be sure who wants to harm you."
"You're not joking?" Bing Tianyi immediately wiped the smile off his face and asked Nan Hao seriously.
In this small county town, there were only a few relatively powerful figures, and about seventy to eighty percent of them had good relations with Bing Tianyi. How could anyone possibly have a grudge against him?
After thinking it over repeatedly, Bing Tianyi suddenly recalled something Old Li had said about fortune-telling—Master Qi is likely to target you.
"I think I know who it might be!" Bing Tianyi suddenly stood up from his chair and looked at Nan Hao, speaking clearly.
Nan Hao, hearing this, looked at Bing Tianyi with curiosity and asked, "Brother Bing, who are you talking about?"
"Master Qi!"
Upon hearing these three words, Nan Hao expressed disbelief, saying, "Brother Bing, Master Qi has no conflict with us. How could he possibly want to assassinate you?"
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case. In fact, I had planned to visit him for a while now; I just never found the time. It seems I should go today," Bing Tianyi replied with a smile.
After a brief preparation, the two of them left and drove directly to the clubhouse of Master Qi located in the center of the county.
Before long, they arrived at the entrance of Master Qi's so-called fortune-telling establishment, where Bing Tianyi saw the same scene as before.
There were no fewer than thirty vehicles parked outside, including both compact cars and Audis.
Once inside, a young woman dressed in a robe stepped forward and smiled at Bing Tianyi, asking, "Sir, do you have an appointment?"
"Do we really need an appointment to come here?" Bing Tianyi asked in surprise.
The young girl seemed to look at Bing Tianyi as if to say he was out of touch.
She chuckled softly to herself before saying, "Since you don't have an appointment, please make one first."
"Alright, you go in and tell Master Qi that Bing Tianyi is here to see him about something," Nan Hao said seriously to the pretty young girl.
"I'm sorry, sir. Even if it's a high-ranking official coming here for fortune-telling, an appointment is still required," the girl said with a serious expression while smiling at Bing Tianyi and Nan Hao.
The two were left speechless; such a small establishment was surprisingly busy. It seemed that even meeting with the mayor was not a big deal for them. This little county truly hid many talents.
With this thought in mind, Bing Tianyi approached and followed the girl's instructions to make an appointment. To his surprise, the earliest time he could meet Master Qi was three days later, and the meeting would only last ten minutes.
Ten minutes passed, and based on the time he used for divination, it was unlikely that even a single Hexagram could be obtained. Let alone calculating the time and direction related matters.
In this situation, Bing Tianyi had only two guesses about Master Qi: either this guy was an absolute expert, like an old monk, or he was a con artist who had gained a certain level of fame and possessed a powerful network to swindle people.
Three days later, Bing Tianyi returned to the shop's entrance as previously scheduled. As usual, there were people coming and going in front of the store.
After entering, under the guidance of another professional, Bing Tianyi was taken to the second floor.
The second floor had a total of three rooms. One was dedicated to explaining professional knowledge about divination. This room consisted of three Bungalows, where Master Qi's eldest disciple, Xiong Guisheng, was responsible for teaching and recruiting students.
Another room served as a space for personnel to discuss divination with each other. It also had three rooms equipped with compasses and various tools, as well as numerous classical books.
Bing Tianyi was led into the innermost room.
Since only the parties involved were allowed to enter, Nan Hao naturally stayed outside the door.
Once inside, a beautiful girl dressed in a Daoist robe came over to serve tea and water to Bing Tianyi and arranged for him to sit down. Bing Tianyi sat on a nearby chair and observed that the room's decor was quite refined.
The small room was clean and tidy while also being very well-organized in terms of feng shui layout. If this wasn't the work of a master, it certainly wouldn't have such sophistication.
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man in his fifties walked out from a small door on the left side of the room. He was overweight and dressed in a Daoist robe and hat, appearing very formal.
Upon seeing Bing Tianyi, Master Qi's expression turned serious. He glanced at the girl beside him and waved his hand. The girl quickly lit three sticks of incense and performed a bow of respect.
Master Qi approached and sat down, looking at Bing Tianyi and quietly saying, "Within a week, you will either die or live; there's no need to ask too much."
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi was taken aback.
If someone confused were to hear this, it might seem very straightforward. Without analysis, one would know that Master Qi meant he would face some calamity within the week.
But thinking about it, who could be certain about when they would die? If he didn't die, then he would definitely be alive; wasn't that just nonsense?
"Uncle, how come I still haven't grasped what you're saying?" Bing Tianyi feigned curiosity and asked.
"You are also a fortune teller, so we are somewhat in the same line of work. Since you came to me today, I can only reveal this much to you," Master Qi said, putting on a serious demeanor as he looked at Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi smiled and stood up to ask Master Qi, "Then Uncle, can you tell me the probability of me dying this week and the probability of me living?"
"That's hard to say. It will depend not only on the timing and location but also on your position when calculating," Master Qi replied frankly.
Bing Tianyi was completely speechless, thinking to himself that this was just nonsense. If everyone could calculate that themselves, why would they come to him? Was it because they had too much money and were burning up?
"Uncle, are you sure you're not joking with me?" Bing Tianyi asked with a cold smile.
"Alright, you can go now," Master Qi waved his hand and turned to head through the side door.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi hurriedly called out, "Wait, I still have something to say."
Unexpectedly, Master Qi completely ignored him. Before Bing Tianyi could finish his sentence, Master Qi had already walked through the side door.
Bing Tianyi looked on helplessly and curiously asked the young girl in a robe beside him, "I say, beautiful lady, is this the kind of service attitude you have here?"
"Sir, you should leave quickly. Can't you see that our Great Master doesn't even dare to tell your fortune?" The young girl had a mysterious expression on her face as she spoke directly to Bing Tianyi.
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi felt utterly defeated. He looked at the young girl with great curiosity and asked, "What did you say? What do you mean he doesn't dare to tell my fortune?"
"Our Great Master usually has two types of people he won't read fortunes for."
"What are those two types?"
"The first type is those with very strong fates; he won't read for them. The second type is those who are about to die; he won't read for them either," the young girl said softly as she looked at Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi felt frustrated. He bitterly smiled and replied to the young girl, "Then which type do you think I belong to?"
"Listening to what Great Master just said, if I'm not mistaken, you should belong to the latter category. So I advise you to go home and prepare for your own affairs," the young girl said frankly, looking at Bing Tianyi without any concealment.
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi felt a strong urge to curse. After all, he considered himself a master in the realm of divination. Although he couldn't predict his own fate, he could roughly estimate his lifespan based on the timing of his life events.
Moreover, he had Nan Hao, a master of astrological calculations, by his side. If Nan Hao couldn't determine whether he would die this week, how could it be said that he was undoubtedly going to die?
And preparing for his affairs? Wasn't that just nonsense?
Thinking about this, Bing Tianyi felt there was no need to linger on the matter any longer. He smiled and turned to walk downstairs.
In the first-floor reception room, Nan Hao was starting to get anxious. Just as he was about to go look for Bing Tianyi, he saw him come down with an unhappy expression and immediately said, "Brother, do you know what he just told me?"
"What happened?" Nan Hao asked curiously, unsure of what had transpired.
Bing Tianyi couldn't help but sneer, "He told me to hurry home and prepare for my affairs!"
Hearing this, Nan Hao furrowed his brows tightly and glanced meaningfully around the club before whispering to Bing Tianyi, "Brother Bing, I don't think things are that serious yet. However, we should still be cautious during this time."
"Hmph, does he really think I'm a fool? Just walk in without asking anything and start giving readings? Isn't that just nonsense?" Bing Tianyi said angrily as he stormed out of the room.
