Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Finally, Someone Comes to Calculate Affection!

“Jiang Li really has some skills, being able to figure that out.”

“Can the master give me a reading too? I always feel my boyfriend is cheating on me. I can pay the fortune-telling fee, any amount!”

“Count me in with the one above!”

“Hold on, are you all hyping her up just like that? This clearly looks scripted, okay? Which fortune-teller can make predictions like this? It’s too fake.”

“Jiang Li has been fake from the start! Pretending to be a good person in this village and bullying our Wenwen without a single mention!”

“Right! We must firmly boycott any person with a negative past from entering the entertainment industry, no whitewashing allowed!”

Despite many people being amazed by Jiang Li’s capabilities, there were still quite a few who, due to her public image, held her in contempt.

Moreover, mysticism has been quite controversial since ancient times.

Not to mention in a society rapidly advancing in technology, many people believe such things are pure fabrications, acts performed by those seeking fame and profit.

But the group of aunties surrounding Jiang Li didn’t think so.

Originally, they too were skeptical about this young girl’s abilities.

After all, Jiang Li looked exactly like the type of pampered young lady born with a silver spoon, beautiful as flowers and the moon, exuding elegance with every move, plus she was so young, how could she possibly be a fortune-teller from Jiang Lake?

But when they witnessed with their own eyes her pinpointing the whereabouts of Aunt Xu’s daughter, they were all astounded.

They didn’t believe in any script or actors, after all, Aunt Xu was from their village, and Jiang Li was the outsider.

Was this not exceptional skill, like an immortal descended to earth?

And so, one by one, they started pushing their way to the front, eager to have her read for them as well.

The few folks tilling the field also noticed the commotion.

Shu Yan, who was sitting on the tractor, squinted her eyes and exclaimed, “Wow, is Jiang Li really that amazing? Maybe I should ask her for a reading someday?”

Qi Tianyu stroked his chin, contemplating, “Although many people think mysticism is all about trickery, what I want to say is, there is documentary evidence for it. There’s a professor at our school who specializes in Yin Yang Theory, and he even showed us some readings during class.”

Shu Yan’s eyes widened, “Really? Then is your professor even better than Jiang Li?”

Qi Tianyu somewhat embarrassed, “That’s probably not the case; Jiang Li is too miraculous. The things she deduces are too meticulous; even I wouldn’t be able to figure them out. Our professor is more of an academic expert and has a high level of scholarly achievement, but as for practical experience… I wouldn’t know.”

Wen Jiaojiao couldn’t help but snort at this.

“Do you actually believe that? I’ve known Jiang Li for so many years and I’ve never heard of her fortune-telling abilities. The only thing in that woman’s head is men!”

That was one of the reasons she disliked Jiang Li.

Previously, she had been arrogant and imposing, clinging to Shang Shaojing at a gathering just one month ago, trying to outdo her and Su Yinwan.

Then, after appearing on a live reality show, she immediately set up a persona for herself as a scholar and mystic.

She would never believe that Jiang Li really knew these things!

“Since you are all so curious…” said Qi Tianyu in a low voice, “why don’t we ask Brother Yan? He is after all Jiang Li’s real brother, so he must know her well.”

Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively turned their gaze to Jiang Yan on the other side.

But as soon as they laid eyes on him, they immediately dismissed the thought.

At that moment, Jiang Yan was on his twentieth attempt to strap the iron plow to the old yellow ox.

Before he even started working, he was already drenched in sweat.

Yet, old Daniu was having none of it, far from cooperating. He either paced in circles around the field ridge or stood still, snorting and trampling the grapevine, glaring at him.

Jiang Yan ran out of options and had to soften his tone, saying, “Daniu, be good. Brother is going to dress you up; look how pretty this outfit is.”

[HAHAHAHAHAHA, I’m dying of laughter. What kind of otherworldly presence is Jiang Yan! Why is he coaxing a cow!]]

[Question: How do you get the almighty Young Master Jiang to humbly plead with someone? Answer: Turn into old yellow cow.]

[I can’t take it anymore, I’m laughing so hard I can’t breathe. Are all of the young master’s fans this witty? Ever since I joined his live stream, I haven’t stopped smiling.]

[No, we’re not the young master’s fans, merely his maids [tired laugh].]

By the big tree, facing the somewhat crazed aunties, Jiang Li didn’t show the slightest impatience.

After pondering for a moment, she picked up a few leaves, broke off their stems, and held them in her hand.

“Here’s the deal, I have just eight leaf stems here, two of which are the longest. Those who draw the long stems will have an opportunity for a consultation.”

“But the same rules apply, you’ll need to pay the fortune-telling fee just like Aunt Xu and the others.”

“No problem!” the aunties proclaimed in unison.

They had already learned beforehand that the fortune-telling fee was just a basket of vegetables and fruits, something they could wholly afford.

Such a transaction with a high cost-performance ratio—securing it was a strike of luck!

Thus, the aunties surged forward, instantly plucking all the leaf stems Jiang Li held.

In the moment the results appeared, some were disappointed while others excited.

The aunt who got a long stem shouted joyfully, walking up to Jiang Li under the envious gazes of everyone else.

Glancing at the camera behind her, the auntie awkwardly adjusted her clothes.

“That master, my family name is Lin, I’ll get straight to the point. I’m here to seek a marriage match for my daughter.”

[! Finally, someone’s consulting about romance, I love it!]]

[ Sister Li is incomparable at finding people. I’m curious how she’ll do with predicting relationships. If she’s accurate, I might just go harass her on Weibo.]

[Here we go, I heard there’s a celebrity live-streaming fortune-telling. I’m here for the show!]

The gossipy nature of the netizens is not without merit; although there were many skeptical voices, even more were unable to restrain their curiosity and continued to watch.

Many also called their friends and relatives to join in on the spectacle.

After all, fortune-telling has always been considered among the most mysterious yet down-to-earth elements in the hearts of Hua Country people.

Many are hesitant to take that step but are extremely curious. Normally, they wouldn’t have the chance to watch others have their fortunes told, but now with such a live stream available, of course, they would want to join in on the fun.

“The usual, please provide the Four Pillars of Destiny,” Jiang Li said.

Aunt Lin quickly recited her daughter’s birthdate.

After Jiang Li finished making her calculations, she began to reveal her findings smoothly.

“Your daughter is twenty-six this year, and she has a younger brother. Your family’s financial situation isn’t bad, and you’ve supported both siblings through college. Your daughter has an official, wealth, and seal in her destiny. Plus, she’s quite ambitious and managed to get into a good college. Your daughter must be quite attractive too because I see a strong presence of Food and Injury in her Life Plate. After graduation, she successfully passed the civil service exam and got a job in the city’s system. Altogether, her career and academics are well-aspected, both sailing smoothly.”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Lin clapped her hands in astonishment, “Spot on, exactly like my daughter’s situation!”

The surrounding people also nodded and agreed.

They had all watched Aunt Lin’s daughter grow up. She turned out lovely and spirited, both honest and academically successful. After graduating, she joined the transportation department, making her the village’s most promising young lady.
