Here to be funny?

In the top-tier luxury suite of the Airport Grand Hotel, Yao Hongguang had been cooped up in the hotel all day, in a terrible mood.

"Young Master, I've found that shop. It seems to be a place for fortune telling," Uncle Li reported.

Yao Hongguang immediately sat up straight and said with anticipation, "Then it must be the one! We'll go over there tomorrow morning."

Uncle Li hesitated for a moment, then said, "That shop seems to have quite a few rules. If you're looking to get your fortune told, Young Master, you might need to make an appointment first."

"Then let's make an appointment!" Yao Hongguang said dismissively.

"But... I did some asking around nearby, and if we follow the normal appointment process, it'll be very difficult to see the Master who does the fortune telling."

Yao Hongguang frowned, "Then we won't follow the normal process. We'll just go directly tomorrow."

"I also asked. Apparently, many people try to skip the appointment and see Master Shen directly every day, but they all get kicked out!"

"Of course, I've already helped you make an appointment, Young Master. Based on what the owner of the neighboring shop described, hundreds of people try to make appointments every day, but less than twenty actually succeed. Some people have even been trying for over a month without success."

Steward Li kept staring at Yao Hongguang's expression, but to his surprise, Yao Hongguang wasn't angry about the difficulty of getting an appointment. Instead, he said with great interest, "Master Shen is indeed extraordinary. It's fine! We'll go directly tomorrow. I don't believe he can refuse me."

Fifty thousand for a fortune telling! Yao Hongguang didn't believe Shen Qiong could refuse.

The next morning.

Shen Qiong brewed a pot of Yunnan Pu'er tea and took a sip. As expected, it was different from what he usually drank.

"Master Shen, how do you calculate talent? Can you tell what talents I have?"

"I don't think I have any talents other than singing."

"How about I hum a couple of lines for you to try?"

Holy crap! Shen Qiong quickly stopped him. What the hell, his singing skill is only 25, what trash!

"No, no, no! Let's forget about singing. How about this, there are darts to your left, and a dartboard on the left wall. Try throwing darts at the target."

After finishing that disgusting celebratory dinner last time, Shen Qiong felt he had too few ways to divine fortunes. An idea suddenly struck him, and he bought a dart set to play with.

"Stand back. Of course, if you think it's too far and you can't even hit the board, then move closer until you think you can hit it."

While instructing his guest, he took out his phone to check the person's information.

Dai Kangping (within 100 meters)

Talent Skills ranked from high to low:

Magic: 45 Acting: 41 Acrobatics: 39...

The darts flew, embedding themselves in the target just outside the bullseye. The guest laughed, "I hit it!"

Shen Qiong knew immediately that this guy was trying to trick him. The information wouldn't lie. This guy in front of him was a magician, not some singing enthusiast!

Dai Kangping grinned, "How is it? Master Shen, can you tell what extraordinary talent I have?"

Shen Qiong glanced at the position of the darts on the board. Good heavens, it almost hit the bullseye! As expected, people who do magic find these little things easy.

"Hmm! Not bad! Quite accurate. Your acting is also good," Shen Qiong said.

Dai Kangping was stunned. He had indeed been playing dumb. He wasn't a die-hard fan of Shen Qiong, but his sister was. His sister constantly raved about Master Shen, Master Shen at home. Dai Kangping didn't believe anyone could be that amazing! He made the appointment with the intention of testing Shen Qiong, and by sheer luck, he succeeded!

That's why he had just put on that act, all to test if Shen Qiong truly had any skills.

Dai Kangping's eyes darted around, and he pretended not to understand, "Acting? What acting?"

"Your expression was quite convincing! Too bad it couldn't fool me! The way you threw the darts just now, you're actually a magician, right?" Shen Qiong looked at the young man with a smile.

"What the heck! You figured that out too?" Dai Kangping looked at Shen Qiong in shock.

Shen Qiong shook his head with amusement, signaling that he had seen through the kid long ago.

Dai Kangping blinked. He finally understood why everyone praised Master Shen's abilities! This insight, this observation skill, was truly extraordinary!!!

"Then, Master Shen, can you tell if I have any other talents? I mean, besides magic, what else am I suited for?" Dai Kangping asked humbly.

He knew that many talents were related. For instance, magic requires a certain level of acting. The entire process of performing magic is essentially acting. The magician already knows the specific techniques and effects, but the magic won't be successful unless it's performed convincingly.

For example, actors often don't just act; they also sing and even work as hosts. Therefore, talents can be interconnected!

However, this young man didn't have any other particularly outstanding talents. Shen Qiong could only shake his head, "Your magic is quite an outstanding talent, and your acting is also good!"

Although Dai Kangping didn't gain any special insights, he had at least witnessed Master Shen's prowess. He could go back and brag to his classmates and friends!

After he left, an Audi sedan stopped in front of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

After getting out of the car, Yao Hongguang looked up at the old shop. The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion's decor style still seemed to be from the sixties or seventies, looking out of place with its surroundings.

It was precisely because of this special historical feel that Yao Hongguang became even more convinced he hadn't come to the wrong place. Master Shen might truly be a hidden master.

He stepped into the shop and immediately saw the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall: "Glimpse Heavenly Secrets, Tell Fortunes!"

Yao Hongguang had naturally seen many famous artworks, and this calligraphy and painting was definitely not ordinary.

Ren Tianxue was organizing the information for the two guests below. She casually glanced at Yao Hongguang as he walked in and immediately said, "This guest, you seem different from most of our guests. You're standing outside the rules?"

Standing outside the rules?

Yao Hongguang looked at the beautiful woman with an extraordinary aura in surprise. Could she be Master Shen? And she saw at a glance that he was different from ordinary people?

Shen Qiong happened to come out to pour tea and immediately teased Ren Tianxue, "You're being mischievous again! What 'outside the rules'? He didn't make an appointment, so he didn't make an appointment. Stop being so mysterious."

Ren Tianxue smiled triumphantly, "I learned it all from you!"

Shen Qiong quickly shook his head, signaling it had nothing to do with him.

Yao Hongguang's face was a mess of black lines. So all this time, it was about not having an appointment, which made him overthink things.

He looked at Shen Qiong, thinking to himself, This must be Master Shen. He's so young!

Shen Qiong didn't have time to deal with people who showed up for fortune-telling without an appointment. He raised his voice and said, "You didn't receive the appointment confirmation, did you? If not, go back. Our next guest will be here any moment."

Yao Hongguang certainly hadn't received a successful appointment confirmation, but he was unperturbed. He asked with anticipation, "You are Master Shen?"

"That's right, you can call me that!" Shen Qiong replied, then turned to leave with the teapot.

"Wait, do you remember 'Searching for him thousands of times among the crowd'?" Yao Hongguang asked urgently.

Ren Tianxue chuckled, "I know! The next line is 'Suddenly looking back, the man was there where the lights dimmed.'"

"Handsome guy! I know you admire our Master Shen, but it's no use! You still have to make an appointment. Once you've booked, go back and wait for confirmation!" Ren Tianxue said, looking at him with amusement.

Shen Qiong also thought this person was here to be funny. He muttered, "There really are all sorts of people these days."

Yao Hongguang was completely stunned! What's going on? Am I being treated like a joke?
