Chapter 14: Ironclad Prediction

The smell of blood was very faint, almost inaudible.

Xu Bai had experienced life and death in the Tiger Village, and had killed many people. In addition, he had already become suspicious of Yunxiang. After many preparations, he smelled the blood.

In the middle of the night, a woman ran around and came back with the smell of blood. It would be a lie to say that nothing was wrong.

"Sir, please go slowly. The store is about to close." Yunxiang said, without any intention of continuing the conversation.

Xu Bai glanced at the dark street, and subconsciously glanced at Yunxiang's right hand.

The progress bar rose a little.

He pulled a little more.

The other party didn't want to chat, and there was no point for him to stay here, so he turned around and left the inn.

Yunxiang kept watching Xu Bai leave, and waited until Xu Bai walked to the end of the street, then walked into the inn.

"Squeak--"

The door of the inn closed, and the street returned to tranquility.

...

After Xu Bai walked to the corner of the alley, he did not go home, but stood in the corner, looking at the inn with the closed door.

Weird, too weird.

To be honest, Xu Bai is not a nosy person.

Logically speaking, this matter is strange, and the world is not as peaceful as he thought, so it is best to leave now.

But... the progress bar has not been read yet.

After a few days of testing, and almost walking around half of Sheng County, Xu Bai realized how demanding it is to trigger the progress bar.

At present, in addition to the "Kidney-Solidifying Secrets" obtained from the bookstore and the "Heart-Slaughtering Method" found from the middle-aged man, the only thing he found was the maple leaf tattoo on the back of Yunxiang's hand.

"Can't waste it..." Xu Bai thought.

"From tomorrow on, I will come to get the wool every day."

He glanced at the inn again and turned away.

As long as he gets it and fills up the progress bar, he will stop.

No!

Why does it mean that the general is singing a play, with flags all over his body?

Not so unlucky, right?

As he walked, Xu Bai thought.

The street was dark, and the night was as deep as water.

Except for one or two gongs, the streets returned to silence, with the occasional meow of a cat.

…

The next day.

Xu Bai got up early, washed up, and came to the inn again.

As usual, he ate and drank, and looked at the back of Yunxiang's hand from time to time.

The progress bar was rising, and he was happy, and even the wine in his hand became delicious.

Yunxiang was still standing at the counter, acting as the accountant as usual.

The plump woman was full of charm. This inn was not only visited by Xu Bai, but Yunxiang seemed to have been accustomed to it and was busy with her own business.

I thought everything would be the same today, but I didn't expect that Xu Bai had just put down his wine glass when footsteps came from outside.

There were people coming and going in the inn, and it was hard to tell what footsteps meant, but this footstep was different.

In addition to footsteps, there was also the sound of bells shaking.

Xu Bai cast his eyes towards the door.

Before seeing anyone, the first thing I saw was a long banner.

The banner was worn out, with several patches, and looked very shabby.

On the front of the banner, there were four big characters embroidered.

—— Iron mouth straight cut.

Even though it was embroidered, the handwriting was still vigorous and powerful, and the handwriting alone was enough to make people look sideways.

The banner gradually approached, and a man holding a long banner and wearing a worn moon-white Taoist robe walked in.

The moon-white Taoist robe was not only worn out, but also had patches on it, especially on the sleeves, which were patched.

From beginning to end, there was a sense of embarrassment.

The man looked to be in his thirties, and his appearance was handsome, but his eyes were not very good.

Since entering the door, those eyes kept looking around, without a moment of rest.

It is normal to look around, no matter who is in a strange environment, they will subconsciously look around.

But this man is different, his eyes from beginning to end, there is a kind of uncomfortable feeling.

It was like having a serious illness and running to see a doctor, but the doctor sighed and shook his head.

That's probably what it meant.

Xu Bai guessed that if he wasn't in the inn, the fortune teller would have been beaten up.

While he was thinking about these things, the fortune teller didn't find a place to sit down, but went directly to the counter.

He seemed to know Yunxiang, and the two of them were whispering to each other.

The inn was too noisy, and no one could hear what they said.

After a long while, the fortune teller left.

Before leaving, he looked around as he did when he came in.

When his eyes saw Xu Bai's position, he paused slightly.

Xu Bai noticed the gaze and frowned slightly.

The gaze was very lively, different from the previous one, with surprise.

The fortune teller didn't leave either, holding a long banner, changed direction, and walked towards Xu Bai.

Xu Bai drank the wine in the glass and watched with interest.

When the fortune teller walked in, Xu Bai heard a voice.

"Hello, brother. I am Tie Suanxian." Tie Suanxian greeted him, his sleeves swaying slightly, making the patches on his robe more conspicuous.

Xu Bai did not speak, but looked up at Tie Suanxian, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

"I see a vague omen between your eyebrows and eyes. You may have a bloody disaster recently..." Tie Suanxian sat next to him and talked to himself.

He did not care whether Xu Bai paid attention or not, as if everything was logical.

"Why?" Xu Bai said.

"It is strange to say that I have seen a lot of bloody disasters, but it is very strange that they appear and disappear. It seems that they can be resolved in the next moment, but they cannot be resolved. It seems that there is a lack of an opportunity." Tie Suanxian frowned.

"It is said that fortune tellers can interpret fate, how can I interpret mine?" Xu Bai poured another glass of wine and drank it up.

Tie Suanxian shook his head and said, "Your fate is very strange. The bloody disaster is either resolved or not, but you are between resolving and not resolving. It's too strange."

As he said, Tie Suanxian stared at Xu Bai's face again.

But after looking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out.

"I see you know the boss, do you know what kind of person the boss likes?"

At this time, Xu Bai suddenly said.

When chatting last night, the waiter gave him a reason.

He might as well play the role of Yunxiang's pursuer, and he also has a reason to rub the progress bar here.

This fortune teller is very strange. He talked to Yunxiang as soon as he came in. It seems that they should know each other.

So he said something to deepen this reason.

Unexpectedly, when this sentence came out, Tie Suanxian was stunned.

"How can I know what kind of person the boss likes?"

"Huh?" Xu Bai frowned and said, "Then what did you do at the counter just now?"

"Pay back the money. I borrowed money from the boss a few days ago, and I came to pay it back today." Tie Suanxian pointed at himself and then at the counter.

In fact, Tie Suanxian also found it strange.

At first, he just saw that Xu Bai's face was abnormal, so he ran over to take a look.

But Xu Bai's words made him confused and completely confused.

He is a fortune teller, not a matchmaker, so what's the point of asking him?

But now, Tie Suanxian has understood.

It turns out that he is a person of admiration.

No wonder... the blood disaster appears from time to time.
