Chapter 797: 205: Face-slapping at the Birthday Banquet!_1

Ni Yang spoke in a gentle tone, there was no hint of jesting in his words.

It took a while for Sir Du to process this fact.

He was only saved as an afterthought…

“Can you really tell fortunes?” Sir Du asked again.

“Yes.” Ni Yang affirmed with a serious nod.

Sir Du toyed with his Buddha beads, “Then, can you predict my fortune too?”

“No.” Ni Yang shook his head.

“Hmm?” Sir Du raised an eyebrow.

Ni Yang pinched his fingers, putting on the air of a hermit above worldly concerns, “Sir, have you ever seen a hermit, I mean a real one, casually predicting fortunes for others? Besides, fortune-telling involves breaking the heavenly secrecy, which could backfire and harm oneself. If it weren’t for the fact that Wang Zeqi is my elder martial brother, I would not have risked my life to predict his fortune.”

Ni Yang, who had also been an important figure in his previous life, was quite adept later at cajoling others.

It was fortunate that Sir Du, due to his weak and illness-prone constitution during his early years, had kept a few Daoist priests around and so, had a certain degree of belief in metaphysics.

Therefore, he didn’t question Ni Yang’s claims much.

After all, it was a fact that she had saved him.

Moreover, Sir Du’s intuition told him that Ni Yang was not a liar, nor was she someone with ulterior motives.

Because her eyes were too clear.

Sir Du, who had met countless people, was encountering such clear eyes for the first time.

They were like pristine, flawless gems.

After hearing Ni Yang’s words,

Sir Du concluded, “So basically, the only reason I managed to escape death was that I had Wang Ziqi’s luck on my side.” If it were not for Wang Zeqi, he would have been dead by now…

Ni Yang nodded in agreement, “Indeed.”

The fact was, Sir Du was indeed a side beneficiary, and it was only because of Wang Zeqi’s luck that Ni Yang had ventured into that alley in the first place. Had it not been for Wang Zeqi, Ni Yang wouldn’t have even entertained the thought.

The realities were realities. Apart from her past reincarnation, Ni Yang did not wish to deceive Sir Du.

Sir Du: “…”

Though it was unbelievable, he was indeed saved as an afterthought.

And, it was also because of Wang Zeqi’s luck.

Though this young girl in front of him was a cousin to Zheng Xianjing,

Right! _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

Sir Du toyed with his Buddha beads and chuckled, “My surname is Du. Everyone calls me Sir Du.”

Sir Du?

Who would have thought this seemingly gentle and scholarly man would behave like a martial world wanderer!

Sir Du?

Ni Yang squinted.

Could it be the Sir Du from the ’10-mile foreign district’?

In her previous life, Ni Yang, having seen the world, naturally knew about Sir Du from the ’10-mile foreign district’.

However, it was hard for her to reconcile this gentle and scholarly man before her with the ruthless, bloody Sir Du from the ’10-mile foreign district’.

With a light smile, Ni Yang introduced herself, “My name is Ni Yang. Everyone calls me Brother Smoke.”

Actually, Ni Yang wanted to introduce herself as Sir Smoke, but Brother Smoke sounded better.

Sir Du responded, “Miss. Ni, don’t joke around.”

With the Night Pearl in her hand, Ni Yang retorted seriously, “Mr. Du, I am not joking.” Her unstated implication being: If you can be addressed as Sir Du, why can’t I be called Brother Smoke?

No matter where Sir Du went, people would respectfully address him as Sir Du. Over time, he had almost forgotten his own name.
