Venerable White asked, "Medicine Master didn’t come in person?"

Previously, he had contacted Medicine Master, who said that he would rush over as soon as possible... how did it suddenly change to getting someone to send the medicine over?

Immortal Master Copper Trigram stopped his handcart and shrugged before replying, "I’m not sure. I only received fellow daoist Medicine Master’s request and brought the medicine needed to treat the injuries on my way. When I’m done, I’ll also help him take the ’test subjects’ back for him. I guess that fellow daoist Medicine Master probably had some important last-minute experiment to do or he might have had a sudden inspiration that he had to verify immediately?"

"I see." Venerable White nodded. Based on his personality of being a passionate and crazy researcher, it was definitely possible.

Song Shuhang reached out for the medicinal paste. "Senior Copper Trigram, how do I use this paste?"

"Venerable White described Miss Chu’s wounds to Medicine Master very clearly. This paste is very easy to use, just applying it directly onto her chest will do. The paste is specially made by Medicine Master—after applying the paste, a month or so is all you need for her injuries to start recovering bit by bit. Two months later, I guarantee that she would be able to move and jump around, without any sequelae," replied Immortal Master Copper Trigram.

Apply it onto her chest?

Miss Chu Chu’s chest had been pressed tightly, changing from its original S-shape to that of a surfboard...

Song Shuhang held the paste in his hand and looked to his side.

Senior White, the small monk, as well as Doudou... a senior, a child, and an animal. Comparing to himself, they were more suitable candidates to apply the paste on Miss Chu Chu—in that case, he decided to ask them if they were willing to do it. If they rejected him, then he would do it.

Song Shuhang asked, "Senior, Guoguo, Doudou, is anyone of you willing to apply the paste on Miss Chu Chu?"

"I can’t touch the naked body of a female benefactor~" Guoguo placed his palms together with a serious look on his face and even called out Buddha’s name.

"I, Doudou, already have a wife. I can’t do such a thing," said Doudou earnestly—speaking of which, he hadn’t gone online for a couple of days, who knows if other people in the game were bullying his wife?

"Then let me do it." This time, Venerable White smiled and took the paste from Song Shuhang’s hand and walked towards Miss Chu Chu.

❄️❄️❄️

"Little Friend Shuhang, you missed an opportunity to save a damsel in distress," Immortal Master Copper Trigram said straightforwardly and laughed. "If you applied the paste on Miss Chu... and she happened to open her eyes to witness the bashful moment, for all you know, a new couple might be formed just like that."

Song Shuhang was speechless.

"Based on your expression, do you not trust my words?" Immortal Master Copper Trigram knitted his brows. "Let me tell you... there is a pink aura emitting from your forehead. Just by looking at your face, I can tell you have luck in love!"

I have luck in love?

It can’t be right, Senior Copper Trigram’s divinations should be read in reverse, and in that case, there’s a problem... what’s the opposite of luck in love?

Love calamity? Love misfortune?

At this time, Doudou raised his head and looked at Song Shuhang. Thereafter, its dog eyes suddenly lit up.

"Woof woof... there is indeed some color within the space between your eyebrows. However, it’s jet black, like ink. Speaking of which, Copper Trigram, just how colorblind are you that you mistook jet black for pink? Woof?" Doudou paused, and said, "Shuhang, you gotta be more careful when you go out—when you speak or run errands, pay extra attention to details. For all you know, you might get killed by someone!"

Song Shuhang was speechless.

So the opposite of luck in love was actually having a black aura around the space between your brows and having extremely bad luck?

"How is this possible, I clearly saw pink, it is very obvious! Little friend Shuhang, stand properly. I’ll execute a technique and reveal the love-related nature of that aura on your forehead!" After saying this much, Immortal Master Copper Trigram stretched his hand out and performed a hand seal, pointing toward Song Shuhang’s forehead from afar.

In the next moment, Song Shuhang’s forehead lit up slightly.

Thereafter, a pitch-black fog started rolling over his forehead.

Doudou rolled his eyes. "It’s just pitch black, there isn’t the slightest tinge of pink... and don’t try to say that I’m colorblind, I haven’t been since the day I opened my Eye Aperture."

Immortal Master Copper Trigram was puzzled. "Strange... it’s indeed black, but earlier I clearly saw a tinge of pink?"

"Senior Doudou, Senior Copper Trigram, there is indeed a tinge of pink in the midst of darkness. In that place!" The small monk pointed at the edge of the light emitting from Song Shuhang’s forehead—there was a tinge of pink that could easily be overlooked.

Doudou opened his eyes wide and looked at Song Shuhang’s forehead. "There really is!"

"What does that mean? Love calamity?" asked Song Shuhang out of concern and worry—he was considering whether or not to keep himself close to Senior White in the following days to freeload his luck.

"Love calamity? Don’t be so optimistic," Immortal Master Copper Trigram answered. "Luck that is associated with such darkness and a tinge of pink should mean that if you got unlucky, it would be the worst kind ever! Additionally, the bad luck might possibly be related to women. In any case, for now, you need to keep a distance from females."

"Senior, are you fortune-telling now?" Song Shuhang asked cautiously.

If this was Immortal Master Copper Trigram’s divination, he could consider looking at it from a different point of view. If that was the case, wouldn’t it mean that he was pretty lucky?

"No, I was just trying to explain the meaning of this aura that appeared on your forehead. But why not, since I’m in a good mood today, I can do some divinations for you, free of charge!" After finishing his sentence, Immortal Master Copper Trigram turned around and fished for something from his handcart.

"Thank you, Senior!" Song Shuhang said gratefully—from a different angle, Immortal Master Copper Trigram’s divinations were pretty accurate... you just needed to view them in reverse.

Immortal Master Copper Trigram laughed, feeling pleased with himself. He then took out a tortoise shell as well as three copper coins that he stuffed into the shell.

He shook tortoise shell and the three copper coins were thrown out, landing on the ground.

Song Shuhang had no knowledge or understanding of divinations, so all he did was look at Immortal Master Copper Trigram mysteriously staring at the three copper coins.

"Senior, is it ominous, or is it auspicious?" he carefully asked, hoping in his heart that it would be... extremely ominous! Extremely ominous! It was better if it was G-cup-level ominous!

The corner of Immortal Master Copper Trigram’s mouth twitched and he lifted his head, clenching his teeth to force a smile, and said, "Auspicious!"

Song Shuhang’s face immediately stiffened... I’m dead, it’s ominous!

Immortal Master Copper Trigram coughed twice and gave him a thumbs up, then said in all seriousness, "This is an auspicious divination, one pertaining to love! Little friend Shuhang, do pay attention to the girls around you, such as Miss Chu; if you had applied the paste on her chest, for all you know, you two might already be a couple!"

"Pffff~" Doudou laughed so hard he drooled all over the place.

"I understand, Senior!" Song Shuhang clenched his teeth. "For now, I definitely will not come in contact with any girls."

"Don’t act like that, little friend Shuhang. You must have been brainwashed by those guys in the group. You must not trust their words, especially those of that guy, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator. My divinations are actually rather accurate!" Immortal Master Copper Trigram was practically outrightly reluctant to admit the truth.

"Yes, I trust you, Senior." Song Shuhang tried his best to force a smile and decided that for this period of time, he would not leave Senior White’s side and follow him closely wherever he would go and that he would never, ever come in contact with any girls. At least, till after the darkness around his forehead had disappeared.

"Eh? Senior Brother Shuhang’s forehead is that black and yet he still has good luck with women?" The small monk did not know the nature of his divinations; he kept a straight face and pondered earnestly before saying, "A shady fortune teller?"

Doudou hurriedly reached out his hand to cover the small monk’s mouth and said, "Kid, don’t casually say the truth! Copper Trigram, children’s words carry no harm, don’t take it to heart!"

Immortal Master Copper Trigram was speechless.

He suddenly felt very depressed! He clearly spoke the truth about what he calculated and was honest in his explanations, should he have lied instead? Could it be that it was not possible for a sincere and honest person to exist on this earth?

Song Shuhang forced a laugh and tried to change the topic of the conversation. "Ahem. Speaking of which, Senior Copper Trigram, you said you came here while on the way somewhere. So, was there something you needed to do?"

"Ah, it is something that causes me much sadness." Immortal Master Copper Trigram let out a long sigh and said, "Actually, even though I said I was just passing by... the truth is that I specially came to look for you guys!"

Song Shuhang, Doudou, and the small monk wore the same puzzled look on their faces.

"I have a disciple—" Immortal Master Copper Trigram started telling the story with a sad look on his face.

Doudou raised his paw and interrupted Immortal Master Copper Trigram, "I know, you’re talking about that Immortal Fortune Teller Iron Trigram in the group chat. That should be the account of your disciple. I heard about it from stupid Yellow Mountain."

"Don’t interrupt!" Immortal Master Copper Trigram said sternly. "Or else, I will calculate an auspicious divination for you every day!"

Doudou immediately shrunk back and acted cute by sticking his tongue out.

Song Shuhang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry... Senior Copper Trigram, by threatening Doudou like that, it feels as though you do realize that you are a shady fortune teller!

After threatening Doudou, Immortal Master Copper Trigram continued to lament, "The problem is, a few days ago, I suddenly got excited and calculated a divination for that boy!"

"What happened after that?" The small monk Guoguo continued the conversation.

"Ah... It was a very good divination, extremely auspicious—it was the best divination I ever calculated in my life." Immortal Master Copper Trigram sighed sorrowfully.

The best divination in his entire life? F*ck, that’s some serious stuff! Song Shuhang and Doudou thought to themselves.

"Thereafter... my beloved disciple Iron Trigram was panic-stricken, and immediately went into secluded meditation and did not dare to step out at all, locking himself at the venue." Immortal Master Copper Trigram sighed deeply.

"Eh? Since it was an incredibly auspicious divination, why would he be frightened?" the small monk asked innocently, not knowing the ’shady’ nature of Copper Trigram’s divinations.

The corner of Immortal Master Copper Trigram’s mouth twitched and he agonized for a while before saying, "Since the day I started up till now, none of the divinations I calculated were accurate."

The small monk stiffened and then put his palms together and said in a serious manner, "Benefactor, please restrain your grief."

Doudou was puzzled and asked, "Copper Trigram, could it be that you came to find us because there’s something you need us to help you with?"

Song Shuhang suddenly thought of a possibility and asked, "Is it about Venerable White?"
