The next day, the sun was high in the sky, and the streets were already bustling with people.

Shen Lin's stall was empty, and he hadn't started working yet.

However, a dense crowd had already gathered in front of his stall.

Someone saw an acquaintance and greeted him with a smile, "Old brother, why are you here so early today?"

The acquaintance chuckled and said, "Isn't it because I heard there's a divine fortune-teller here? Seeing you like this, you must have heard about what happened last night, right?"

"Of course, I heard about it. That Rongdao realm expert from the Jin Fang clan died a terrible death. I heard a hole was punched right through his heart, and blood splattered all over the room. I don't know what deep-seated hatred led someone to take action on this Floating Leaf Sail Ship, trading a life for a life."

"Heh, you're wrong about that. I heard that the perpetrator had prepared the ransom beforehand. After killing the person, he immediately surrendered, paid the fine, and was released on the spot."

"Hiss... This was premeditated."

"Otherwise, what else could it be? The murderer prepared a Lost Path Incense potent enough to incapacitate a Rongdao realm cultivator and ambushed that guy in his room early on. If that Jin Fang clan member had listened to the divine fortune-teller and gone to Gentle Valley that night, he would have been able to avoid this calamity. What a pity."

"So, the divine fortune-teller had already foreseen the details of what was about to happen to the Jin Fang clan member, which is why he suggested that person go to Gentle Valley? I thought he couldn't predict things in such detail."

"Then why are you here so early today? I thought you knew the details."

"I'm just here to try my luck..."

"Stop talking, look over there!"

He looked in the direction his friend was pointing and saw a group of people gathered in a circle, listening to the person in the middle boasting.

"Hey, let me tell you, this divine fortune-teller's skills are truly amazing."

"Yesterday, I was planning to go out and have some fun in the evening. I passed by here and saw this divine fortune-teller, so I thought I'd get my luck for the night read."

"As a result, his answer was for me to go to Gentle Valley."

"At the time, I was confused. Why would you tell me to go to Gentle Valley when I asked about my luck? I thought he was messing with me, so I didn't pay much attention and left."

"However, in the evening, I suddenly became interested when I thought about it, so I went to Gentle Valley. Anyway, it wouldn't take too long... cough cough, anyway, I was idle."

"And then, guess what happened?"

At the crucial moment, the man suddenly stopped, his eyes darting around at the crowd, and he stopped talking.

The surrounding onlookers became impatient and finally realized what the guy meant.

"You're such a pain, stopping at the crucial point? Just like those dog authors who like to cut chapters off at the cliffhanger. Take it, take it!"

A large man impatiently took out a few spirit crystals and threw them over.

Seeing this, others followed suit.

Some gave one or two, others nearly a hundred.

By telling his story, the man earned several hundred spirit crystals.

He happily accepted the spirit crystals, cleared his throat, and said, "As a result, I narrowly avoided a disaster."

"Yesterday, in the gambling den I was originally going to, there was actually a demon clan member mixed in."

"Last night, that guy's identity was exposed, and he caused trouble on the spot. Although the guards of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion caught him in time, there were still heavy casualties."

"Several of my gambling friends died on the spot."

"If I had gone to the gambling den as planned, I would probably be dead by now, with my head in a different place."

After hearing his words, some people in the crowd immediately cursed in dissatisfaction, "That's it?"

"I spent money, and you're just telling me this?"

"What about the Gentle Valley story? Why did you skip over it?"

"Besides, that just means you were lucky. What does it have to do with this fortune-teller? I heard this guy tells everyone to go to Gentle Valley. If you happen to run into one or two things like that, what does that prove?"

Hearing this person's question, the gambler showed a hint of dissatisfaction on his face and retorted, "If it were just me, that would be one thing."

"But you have to know that several other fellow cultivators who got their fortunes told with me yesterday also avoided a disaster by going to Gentle Valley."

"There was a brother who originally wanted to ask how he should break through his cultivation bottleneck. The little divine fortune-teller told him to go to Gentle Valley. He thought it was a suggestion to relax and combine work with leisure, so he went without hesitation. He even had a drink with me."

"And then, hey, a message came that night."

"The spiritual veins in the area where that brother lived fluctuated. Many fellow cultivators who were cultivating were affected by this, disrupting their cultivation process, and some even vomited blood and almost went mad."

"If my brother hadn't gone to Gentle Valley at the time and had gone back to cultivate, he would have been at a critical juncture in his cultivation breakthrough, and the impact would have been even greater. He might have gone mad and died."

At this point, the gambler paused and continued:

"There was also another friend who was originally going on a blind date. After going to Gentle Valley, he discovered that his blind date was actually a married woman that very night, and a Saint realm existence at that."

"If he had gone straight to the blind date that night, he would have been beaten to death on the spot if that Saint realm existence had found out."

The gambler then told several other examples.

Without exception, those people had all gone to Gentle Valley after getting their fortunes told by Shen Lin and following his guidance.

Perhaps because they had become comrades in arms there, the gambler called them all 'brothers' and, after finishing these stories, summarized with lingering fear:

"I think I've figured it out. The answer this little divine fortune-teller gives may not be what you want, but it will definitely allow you to avoid a disaster."

"You said we cultivators spend so much time cultivating, and it would be so frustrating if we died because of these random accidents, right?"

His words were sincere and heartfelt.

It seemed that this experience had given him a lot to think about.

After hearing these stories, the people around him were all moved.

They were preparing to see what abilities this little divine fortune-teller actually had.

Anyway, it didn't cost any spirit crystals, right?

But just then, someone sneered, "That sounds good, but aren't you guys in cahoots?"

Hearing this, the gambler immediately became anxious, stood up, pointed at the person, and said, "In cahoots? The little divine fortune-teller doesn't ask for any reward for fortune-telling. What would we gain?"

"Who knows?"

The person questioning him was a black rat-headed humanoid, squinting his small eyes maliciously, "Maybe you have some..."

But before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a shadow fall over him.

He turned his head suspiciously and saw a burly minotaur standing behind him.

The minotaur looked down at him, his brow furrowed, and said in a muffled voice, "The little divine fortune-teller has saved my life. I won't allow you to slander him like that!"

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from the other person, the rat-headed humanoid swallowed hard, lowered his head, apologized, and scurried away.

"Oh, aren't you the innocent minotaur from yesterday?"

The gambler had been standing not far behind this person yesterday and recognized the minotaur at a glance.

Everyone else was asking about their own matters, but this guy was asking the little divine fortune-teller what gift he should give his wife.

The gambler had a deep impression of him.

He walked over, greeted him with a smile, and asked:

"Did you find anything good at the address the divine fortune-teller gave you yesterday? Is your wife very satisfied?"

Hearing these words, the minotaur's face turned ugly, and he remained silent.

He had originally thought that he would find something good at the place Shen Lin pointed out, something that would give his wife a surprise.

As a result, he went to the place, did as Shen Lin instructed, and entered a temporarily arranged secret realm.

Then, he saw his wife in a fierce battle with another man.

Panting, she was telling him about her plan that was about to be completed.

The minotaur had felt his body weakening during this period and had originally thought that he had spent too much energy on this wife.

But he didn't expect that the truth was that the woman, in collusion with outsiders, had been poisoning him all along.

If it hadn't been for Shen Lin's guidance, allowing him to discover it in time, the minotaur would probably have already been killed by those two, and his wealth would have all gone to them.

But now, there was no question of any wealth.

What these people didn't know was that there was more than one murder that happened last night.

That adulterous couple also died on this Floating Leaf Sail Ship last night.

The minotaur's original wealth had all been used for compensation.
