An Opportunity

The You Family's affairs quickly spread throughout Flowing Cloud City, and many people came to know Su Chen as well.

Those who had initially thought Su Chen was a fool were now filled with regret. If only they had known he was a true expert, they would have gone to seek his fortune-telling. Perhaps they might even have gained some fortuitous opportunity.

Unfortunately, even after Flowing Cloud City had been turned upside down, no one saw Su Chen again.

Sometimes, that was simply how things were.

A fortuitous opportunity only came once.

Since the You Family did not want it, he naturally would not give it to them. He had expected this outcome long ago and had already left Flowing Cloud City far behind.

As for Patriarch You, his fate afterward was obvious.

He was certain to die.

Perhaps You Lin would regret it later, but that had nothing to do with Su Chen anymore. Opportunities were only given once. If one failed to seize them, there was nothing more to be done.

Although Su Chen had left Flowing Cloud City, he had not gone too far. He had merely come to a neighboring city and continued setting up his stall. He decided to stay here for five days.

As for why he had chosen this place—

As the saying went, the Great Dao had thirty paths, Heaven's workings had twenty-nine, and people escaped through the one remaining path.

Everything left a way out. By staying here, if the You Family managed to find him, Su Chen was willing to give them another chance. If they could not find him, then there was nothing he could do.

Su Chen still casually found a place to sit, then quietly waited.

Before long, three days passed.
