Before long, Lu Chuan came strolling back at an easy, leisurely pace.
Shen Gongbao said faintly, "Disciple, just now, your master saw another Chongming Bird."
"Uh, did you? Was it the same one as last time?"
Lu Chuan scratched his head and smiled. "This disciple was eating breakfast in the shop the whole time just now. Looks like this disciple missed it!"
"Perhaps so!"
Shen Gongbao glanced at him. He already knew perfectly well what had happened, but there was no need to expose it.
"Your senior uncle's Fortune Telling Hall opens today. Go over later and lend a hand."
"Fortune Telling Hall?"

He remembered that Jiang Ziya's businesses had always gone poorly, but later, it was only after opening the Fortune Telling Hall that his luck had slowly begun to turn.
After that, because he burned the Jade Stone Pipa Spirit, he even became a civil official of the Shang Dynasty.
But the Jade Stone Pipa Spirit was one of the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb, sent by My Lady Nuwa to be together with that thousand-year fox. If Jiang Ziya refined her back into her true form, how could that Fox Spirit let him have an easy time of it?
In the end, she forced Jiang Ziya to flee to Xiqi.
"Mm. It's three shops up across from us."
"That close?" Lu Chuan smiled. "Master, aren't you going?"
"No, no. You can go in your master's place."
The moment he heard that, Shen Gongbao hurriedly waved his hand and tossed Lu Chuan an ingot of silver.
However, Lu Chuan noticed that Shen Gongbao's expression and movements were rather strange
