He ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍opened his eyes with a puzzled look and stared at Chen Fan for a moment.

Then ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍he continued his calculations, but as he calculated, his expression gradually turned pale, and cold sweat even appeared.

Seeing ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍the old man's body trembling slightly and sweating profusely, Su Ruochu was bewildered.

She ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍couldn't understand what was happening.

The old Taoist priest, however, trembled like someone with Parkinson's disease for a while before suddenly opening his eyes wide and letting out a long breath.

It was like someone who had been holding their breath for a long time and suddenly got rescued, taking their first breath, making people hear it and feel chills down their spine.

His face was pale, and his hands were shaking as he put them down.

The old Taoist priest secretly glanced up at Chen Fan.

"I won't calculate your birth charts anymore."

"Hm?"

Chen Fan frowned, "Why?"

"I just won't do it. I can't calculate your birth charts."

As he spoke, the old Taoist priest reached into his pocket and took out two 10 yuan notes.

"This is your money, I'm returning it to you. I won't do the calculation."

Su Ruochu asked in confusion, "Taoist priest, why..."

Chen Fan grabbed Su Ruochu's hand, "Forget it. Let's go."

"But..."

Su Ruochu wanted to say something, but Chen Fan pulled her away.

"This old man is talking nonsense, he's clearly a street charlatan. Don't bother with him."

Su Ruochu took a few steps and turned her head to look at the Taoist priest behind her.

However, at this moment, the Taoist priest was slumped in the bamboo chair, his eyes blank, looking somewhat disheveled.

"I think some of his calculations were quite accurate," Su Ruochu muttered softly.

Chen Fan smiled, "Silly girl, he makes a living from this. If nothing he said was accurate, wouldn't he starve to death?"

Su Ruochu pouted but didn't argue.

Although Chen Fan had a smile on his face, his heart was already in turmoil.

The words that the old Taoist priest had just said shocked Chen Fan as much as the moment he had just been reborn.

Because he felt that the old Taoist priest had said everything correctly.

However, this old man had calculated the fate of his previous life.

In his previous life, he had been successful in his career and had a net worth of over 10 billion yuan, but at a young age, his parents had passed away one after another. Even Su Ruochu, whom he loved the most, had left him due to a car accident before they could get married.

Chen Fan was indeed fated to be alone, eventually dying in solitude.

Even on his deathbed, there wasn't a single close person by his side.

Chen Fan didn't know if this old man had seen something or if he had really calculated all this based on his birth charts.

But if it was really possible to calculate all this based on the birth time and date,

Why was it the previous life that was calculated? Why not this life?

Could it be that he was really just an accident in this world?

Regardless, Chen Fan just wanted to quickly take Su Ruochu away from this place.

He didn't like anything that was beyond his control.

......

Behind them, it took the old Taoist priest five or six minutes to finally recover from his dazed state.

He let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.

His gaze swept around.

Chen Fan and Su Ruochu were long gone.

The old Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, quickly packed up his stall, bundled it into a package, shouldered it, and left the square.

After leaving the square, the old Taoist priest found a deserted corner, put down his bundle, and took out an old Nokia blue-screen mobile phone from inside his Taoist robe.

He opened the contacts.

There was only one number on it.

The note was "1".

No one knew who this "1" was.

The old Taoist priest took a deep breath, his eyes becoming clear and bright, no longer having the lazy look from before.

After adjusting his state, the old Taoist priest pressed the dial button.

"Ring... ring..."

On the 5th ring, the person on the other end answered.

"Hello."

"It's me. I need to contact Master Bai."

"Master Bai is not available to take calls right now."

The old Taoist priest adjusted his state and said in a deep voice.

"It's very important!"

"Tell Master Bai, I've found the person he's looking for."

The person on the other end paused for a moment, then said,

"Please wait."

After about 2 minutes, a steady, deep voice came through the phone.

"It's me."

The old Taoist priest's posture unconsciously straightened a bit.

"Master Bai, I've found the person."

"Explain the situation."

"This afternoon, I was fortune-telling for people at Asoka Temple in Yinzhou when I encountered a young couple..."

So the old Taoist priest hurriedly recounted everything that had just happened, word for word.

After finishing, he obediently fell silent, waiting for the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

"This old man makes a living from this. I absolutely wouldn't see wrong."

At this, even the breathing on the other end of the phone showed a slight fluctuation.

"Asoka Temple? Yinzhou? That's in Ningbo, right?"

The old Taoist priest hastily said respectfully, "It's in Ningbo."

"What's that person's name?"

The old Taoist priest's expression froze, looking a bit embarrassed.

"They didn't say. And it was clear that they were very cautious."

Seemingly afraid that the other party would get angry, the old Taoist priest quickly explained further.

"But I can confirm that they're not locals from Yinzhou."

"Because their speech had an accent from the Luocheng area."

"Luocheng?" Master Bai on the other end of the phone seemed to be trying to remember where Luocheng was.

The old Taoist priest, who had traveled far and wide, was obviously very familiar with every place.

He quietly reminded, "Luocheng is located in Donghai Province, it's an unknown small city. Oh, right. Luocheng is adjacent to Yunhai."

He believed that what he had said was specific enough.

With the power of the person on the other end of the phone, it would be very easy to find these two people with just their birth times and dates.

"I understand."

"Tell me the birth times and dates of these two people."

"Yes."

The old Taoist priest slowed his speech and recited Chen Fan and Su Ruochu's birth times and dates word by word.

The person on the other end repeated it once more, and only after confirming there were no problems did they slowly speak.

"Very good. You've done well this time. I owe you a favor."

The old Taoist priest hurriedly said excitedly, "It's my honor to work for Master Bai."

"Alright. Find time to come see me in person. I want to inquire about some details face to face."

"Yes. I'll set off right away."

After hanging up the phone, the old Taoist priest looked left and right before putting away his phone and picking up his bundle, preparing to go down the mountain.

At the same time, over 1,300 kilometers away from Yinzhou, in Beijing.

In a private villa in the western suburbs.

A middle-aged man wearing a gray Taoist robe was standing on the balcony of the study.

His long hair hung down to his shoulders, casually tied back with a silk cord. He looked somewhat unrestrained.

In front of him was a piece of paper with the two birth times and dates that the old Taoist priest had just mentioned on the phone.

After staring at the note for a good while, the middle-aged man bent down to pick up the brush pen on the desk, dipped it in ink, and then wrote out these two birth times and dates again on the rice paper in front of him in tiny, meticulous characters.

After finishing, the middle-aged man straightened up and stared at it for a good while, as if there was something captivating on it.

Ten minutes later, the middle-aged man murmured.

"After so many years. We've finally found them."

"Come here!"

An old man walked in from the door of the study.

"Master Bai."

"Tell my elder brother, Ruoxue and Xiaoxi can come back now."
