Chapter 223 - 129: No More than Three Questions_2
Zhao Yuan saw the situation and timely pulled Zhao Zhonghe back, "Uncle, since the divination master states there’s no second price, why not listen to what he has to say first."
Standing by and watching the commotion, Xu Qing followed up, "That’s right. If his answer doesn’t satisfy the constable, you can then overturn his stall, strip off his clothes, and throw him into the river."
"..."
The divination master heard this and glanced at Xu Qing, his gaze seemingly unfriendly.
"Most silkworms die when their silk runs out. To remedy this, one must act contrary to nature..."
Zhao Zhonghe was baffled by what he heard, while Xu Qing thoughtfully said, "Perhaps the divination master is advising the constable’s child to change professions and not become a constable in the future."
"Is he right?"
Zhao Yuan asked the divination master, who smiled but did not answer.
Zhao Zhonghe still had doubts and asked, "Who can predict what will happen in ten or twenty years? How do I know you’re not deceiving me?"
The divination master smiled and said, "It’s just a divination. The constable just received his salary today, does he still care about the cost of a divination?"
Zhao Zhonghe was startled and looked at the divination master with a changed expression.
