What Omen Could Be Worse Than Poverty?
As soon as Old Master Zhou finished speaking, chaos erupted at the scene.
Everything was fine before they arrived. Who would have thought that Najib, who should have just been going through the motions, would become the most troublesome place?
Now, Old Master Zhou's words are tantamount to a final verdict.
This is tantamount to telling the entire Three Continents that Gu Mingchao and Ji Ya are incompatible...
To be honest, if this were any other marriage alliance between the Four Great Clans, and the horoscopes were incompatible, then so be it... After all, how many arranged marriages are actually compatible?
Aren't we all just after our own interests?
When interests are intertwined, does it matter whether we agree or not?
We can just make do, what else can we do but get a divorce?
The problem now is that Gu Mingchao and Ji Ya's marriage has attracted the attention of the entire Three Continents, and everyone is watching this matter closely.
This Zhou Wencang's situation. If you were to insist on pushing them to the next step despite their incompatible horoscopes... where would that leave the Vast Heaven Holy Land and the Spirit Beast Continent?
But everyone also knew very well that Old Master Zhou Wencang was not speaking carelessly; if he said there was a problem, there definitely was...
After all, he was the last fortune teller in the Three Continents!
The Fortune and Misfortune Divination Art Great Prophecy Art of Master Zhou Wencang were different from those of Hua Xichen.
The Great Prophecy Art can know clearly or almost clearly what will happen in the next period of time, but the fortune teller's Fortune and Misfortune Divination Art cannot!
Fortune and Misfortune Divination Art, while unable to predict future events, can deduce good or bad fortune by combining known information with destiny... But Fortune and Misfortune Divination Art greatest strength lies in its specialization; it predicts the impact and outcomes of two people being together...
It may not be comparable to the Great Prophecy Art, but it is still terrifying, after all, there is only one Hua Xichen in the Spirit Beast Continent so far.
However, the Fortune and Misfortune Divination Art, can be passed down as long as one can find a person destined by Heaven...
Although the current members of the Zhou Clan are all incompetent, once a person with a destiny is born into the Zhou Clan, they will be able to learn the Fortune and Misfortune Divination Art, which is why the Zhou Clan has been passed down to this day.
The Zhou Clan family declined because sometimes the chosen ones were born too late, leading to a near extinction of the lineage!
Hearing Old Master Zhou's resolute words, the Clan Head Hua spoke up, "Old Master Zhou, I recall that among the Zhou Clan's Fortune and Misfortune Divination Art, there is Art of Turning Misfortune into Fortune. Could you please lend a hand to Her Majesty the Empress and Holy Lord Gu and help them escape danger? Please rest assured, Old Master Zhou, we know that you are advanced in years and it is not easy for you to lend a hand. We will certainly not let you Old Bai..."
"Clan Head Hua, you're overthinking it. If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't be difficult for me to help them escape danger. Even if it were the prodigies of the Four Great Clans, I could still influence them to some extent. But these two have incredibly noble destinies. What virtue or ability do I possess to dare to help them escape danger? Even if I risked my old bones, there was no way I could defy fate... So please leave..."
As Zhou Wencang spoke, he made a gesture to send the guest away.
The problem is, Zhou Tonghe wouldn't dare actually give them a gift... At most, they'd send them a signal with their eyes, since these people in front of them were not people they could afford to offend.
"Elder Zhou, with your abilities, turning misfortune into good fortune shouldn't be too difficult for you, right? How about we double our previous resources and ask Elder Zhou to divine auspiciousness for us?" Clan Head Cui also spoke up.
Everyone understands what Clan Head Cui meant... He meant that we don't expect you to actually risk your life, you just need to dance a little something here... and then Old Master Zhou will give you a golden word of good fortune, and we won't even need to use Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablets. We're just going through the motions, isn't that good enough?
This way, you benefit, we can both have peace of mind, and it's a win-win situation, isn't it?
As for what will happen to Holy Lord Gu and the Empress in the future, that's none of your concern...
After hearing what the Clan Head Cui said, Zhou Wencang was so angry that his beard stood on end!
"Does Clan Head Cui intend for me to speak empty words? Then Clan Head Cui may be disappointed. I have never spoken carelessly in my life, and my predictions of good or bad fortune have never been wrong!"
Good heavens, upon hearing Zhou Wencang's words, the four clan leaders were so angry they almost wet themselves...
That old guy is like a rock in a latrine; he's both stinky and stubborn, and he doesn't understand a thing or two about human relationships.
This was a golden opportunity we earned at great expense from the Vast Heaven Holy Land! Do you even realize how much our various clans will lose with just one sentence from you?
Finally, it was the Clan Head Ning who spoke up, "Elder Zhou, this matter is not just between the two of us, but between the Spirit Beast Continent and the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Therefore, Elder Zhou, you should think twice before acting!"
Good heavens, this time the Clan Head Ning has even resorted to threats.
Hearing the threatening tone of the Clan Head Ning, the many Zhou Clan members around him looked at the old man pitifully, as if to say, "Old man... don't be stubborn... if you really don't do as they want today, our Zhou Clan is probably doomed!"
But amidst the gazes of countless people, Zhou Wencang sighed and said, "Clan Head Ning, I have just used Fortune and Misfortune Divination Tablet. If we only consider their birth charts, they are a match made in heaven, extremely auspicious..."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of many clan leaders lit up. Had the old man finally seen the light?
"But..." Zhou Wencang spoke again, "Just as Clan Head Ning said, this matter is not a matter between the two of them, but between the Spirit Beast Continent and the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Based on this, I deduce that if the two of them were to unite, things might not go as planned!"
Good grief, everyone present was stunned...
What the heck? Gu Mingchao and Ji Ya's birth charts are compatible, which is an auspicious sign, but if they get together, things will go against their wishes and it might even be an ominous sign?
What kind of weird divination is this?
Seeing the confusion in everyone's eyes, Zhou Wencang shook his head helplessly and said, "Not to mention you all, even in the history of my Zhou Clan, we have never divined such a strange result..."
Now it was the turn of the various clans in the Spirit Beast Continent to fall silent...
When people usually ask about marriage, aren't the questions usually about whether the two people are compatible and whether their relationship is auspicious?
Why the hell are they the ones who are lucky, while we're the ones who are unlucky?
What? Their daily lives can affect the Four Great Clans? That's ridiculous!
Now the four clan leaders are starting to make plans. Everyone knows what the Four Great Clans and even the entire Spirit Beast Continent are planning for this marriage to the Empress.
The four clan leaders didn't quite believe Zhou Lao's prediction that things wouldn't go as planned.
After all, everyone is after the wealth of the Vast Heaven Holy Land... After Vermilion Bird arrived, he had already hinted to the Four Great Clans that the Vast Heaven Holy Land would use half of its resources to marry Empress Ji Ya!
That guy's resources alone would make the Four Great Clans cry.
"Could it be that the Vast Heaven Holy Land might renege on the betrothal gifts?" The Clan Head Ning secretly asked the Clan Head Hua via telepathy!
"Absolutely impossible. If the Vast Heaven Holy Land were to do that, what would become of its reputation?"
"Clan Head Hua said is right..." Clan Head Cui also quietly joined the group chat.
The Clan Head Cui spoke up, "Regarding the betrothal gifts, the Vast Heaven Holy Land will absolutely not shortchange us by even a penny. If they were to actually do so, wouldn't they become a laughingstock throughout the world!"
"What else could have gone wrong if not for the betrothal gifts?" Ming Clan Head also joined the chat group!
The four clan leaders had a heated discussion in the chat group, and the final conclusion was that they had no idea how they could lose this game!
This time, we sold the Empress... cough cough... married her off... the dowry from the Vast Heaven Holy Land arrived, everyone divided it up, and everyone immediately took off. The Vast Heaven Holy Land would never have pulled any tricks with the dowry, so the four clan leaders indicated that even if there were other ominous signs...
Do we even care?
Is there any ominous sign more ominous than poverty?
Look at our four clan leaders, except for the Clan Head Hua, we're all dirt poor...
Is there any ominous sign in this world more terrifying than poverty?
So the four clan leaders gritted their teeth and decided to do it! After all, Old Man Zhou's Fortune and Misfortune Divination Art might not be reliable, right? If they were, would their Zhou Clan be in this sorry state?
So is it possible that the old man is jealous that we're about to receive the betrothal gifts from the Vast Heaven Holy Land, and is doing this on purpose?
The four clan leaders discussed it and concluded that it wasn't impossible...
As the saying goes, I'm afraid my brother will suffer, but I'm even more afraid of him driving a Land Rover!
Sometimes, other people's success is more painful than your own failure!
So the four clan leaders gritted their teeth and stamped their feet. There is nothing more terrible in this world than poverty. If there is, it is only being poor forever!
To be honest, the Clan Head Ning is quick-witted. The Clan Head Ning is saying, "Oh Old Hua... Your Hua Xichen has Great Prophecy Art. Why don't you send Hua Xichen over here, let him use his Great Prophecy Art, and you'll know for sure?"
There's no need for us to argue with this old man here!
It must be said that the Clan Head Ning's suggestion was instantly accepted by everyone, and a moment later, Hua Xichen's teleportation array landed on the Zhou Clan's side.
Upon seeing Hua Xichen, who possessed Great Prophecy Art, arrive, the Clan Head Hua immediately declared that Hua Xichen Great Prophecy Art to predict good and bad fortune!
Although Hua Xichen had just arrived, he had a general idea of what was going on. After paying his respects to Old Master Zhou, Hua Xichen didn't say much and immediately activated the Great Prophecy Art...
Seeing Hua Xichen unleash his Great Prophecy Art, the Zhou Clan members were so anxious that tears streamed down their faces...
Old man, old man, you've been stubborn your whole life, why won't you bow your head... Look, you could have just said that you helped them escape danger, you didn't even have to act, just saying that auspicious words would have been enough.
But you insist on insisting it's an ominous sign, even though our Zhou Clan family is already incredibly poor...
What could be more terrifying than poverty?
Now that Hua Xichen has arrived, no matter what the outcome is, as long as Hua Xichen says "Great fortune and prosperity" here, not only can everything continue, but our Zhou Clan family will also become a laughing stock!
After all, how can the Zhou Clan family's Fortune and Misfortune Divination Art compare to the Great Prophecy Art?
The Great Prophecy Art says it's extremely auspicious, Fortune and Misfortune Divination Art predicts great misfortune. So, tell me, do you believe in the Great Prophecy Art or in the Zhou Clan family, which has fallen into such a sorry state?
If the Zhou Clan family were truly reliable, how could they have ended up like this?
Looking at the gazes of the Zhou Clan family members, Old Master Zhou remained calm. The next moment, in front of everyone Hua Xichen activated the Great Prophecy Art. However, as the divine light of Hua Xichen's Great Prophecy Art appeared, the next second, a scene that made everyone present unable to believe appeared!
The divine light of the Great Prophecy Art, having just soared into the sky, vanished instantly on the spot...
The Great Prophecy Art... has failed!
