"That's right, I came to wreck the place!"
The girl showed no stage fright. If anything, she looked rather pleased with herself.
"Then you've come to the wrong place."
Li Tianyuan hadn't expected a girl bent on wrecking his business instead of a customer.
She had delicate features, though, and clearly came from an extraordinary background.
She probably hadn't learned how treacherous the world could be.
"Hmph, do you dare tell my fortune?"
The girl slapped a fair hand onto the table, her gaze sharp.
"Of course."
Li Tianyuan smiled.
"Fine, then tell me my name!"
"If you get it right, I won't wreck your place!"
The girl spoke with a bright smile.
"One Gold Soul Coin."
Li Tianyuan spoke evenly.
He charged only one Gold Soul Coin for simple questions, but complicated ones cost far more.
"That's not cheap, but if you get it wrong, you have to give my money back!"
As she spoke, the girl took a Gold Soul Coin from inside her clothes and handed it over.
Li Tianyuan accepted it and nodded slightly. "No problem."
Then Soul Power surged through his hands. Drawing on the Heavenly Mystery Disc's power, he used his third Soul Skill, Divination.
In mere moments, Li Tianyuan had divined the girl's name.
So it's her!
Once he learned her name, Li Tianyuan couldn't help smiling. No wonder the girl was so headstrong, like a little princess.
"All right, I've figured out your name."
Li Tianyuan looked at her.
"Oh? Then say it!"
The girl didn't believe for a second that he could have divined her name in such a short time.
"Ning Rongrong. Am I right?"
Li Tianyuan asked.
"You..."
Ning Rongrong's expression changed instantly. She truly hadn't expected him to get it right.
But she still refused to give up. "Write it down."
Hearing that, Li Tianyuan picked up the paper and brush beside him and wrote the three characters of Ning Rongrong's name.
"Correct, isn't it?"
Li Tianyuan asked.
Ning Rongrong stared at Li Tianyuan in disbelief. Could someone with such miraculous abilities really exist?
Or had he known her name all along?
"Hmph, it might be a coincidence!"
Ning Rongrong wasn't convinced.
"Then try this. Figure out who I am!"
Ning Rongrong spoke again.
"One Gold Soul Coin."
Li Tianyuan replied.
Ning Rongrong took out another Gold Soul Coin and tossed it to Li Tianyuan.
Then she watched him without blinking, determined to see whether he was cheating.
Although Li Tianyuan already knew her identity, he performed another divination just to be safe.
A short while later, he had the result.
"I've figured it out."
Li Tianyuan said.
"Tell me."
Ning Rongrong felt both anticipation and unease.
She was a little worried that Li Tianyuan really had discovered her identity.
"You belong to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you're a student at Shrek, and you're the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's sect master!"
Li Tianyuan looked at her as he spoke.
"You... how did you know that?"
At his words, Ning Rongrong recoiled a step in fright. For some reason, fear stirred in her heart.
"I divined it."
Li Tianyuan watched the flustered girl, his expression unchanged.
"Impossible! Nobody can divine things that accurately!"
"Who exactly are you?"
Ning Rongrong still didn't quite believe him. She suspected he might have known her identity beforehand.
"Everyone calls me Mr. Li. You can call me that too."
Li Tianyuan said.
"Mr. Li? How old are you to be calling yourself a gentleman!"
Ning Rongrong stared at Li Tianyuan. This fellow was incredibly handsome. If his abilities were genuine too, he was certainly an outstanding talent, someone she could invite to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Age has nothing to do with being addressed as a gentleman."
Li Tianyuan replied calmly.
"What a silver tongue! Since you know I'm the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's princess, how dare you speak to me like that!"
"Aren't you afraid I'll bring people here to destroy your place?"
"You charlatan!"
Ning Rongrong stared coldly at Li Tianyuan, growing increasingly suspicious of his identity.
"What, is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's princess so remarkable?"
Yet there was a hint of disdain in Li Tianyuan's smiling eyes.
He dared offend even Spirit Hall's Pope and would fight Qian Daoliu, a level-99 Limit Douluo, just the same. Why would he fear the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
Even if both of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Titled Douluos arrived, he wouldn't be afraid.
"You're not afraid of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Ning Rongrong was even more surprised. The fellow before her was far too confident.
After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was one of the continent's Upper Three Sects. It possessed formidable strength and, above all, immense wealth. No faction on the continent dared offend it lightly.
Yet this fraud in a tiny shop wasn't afraid!
"I'm really not."
Li Tianyuan shook his head lightly, completely at ease.
"Hmph, I don't believe you. You're only saying that because you see I'm a girl!"
Ning Rongrong sneered.
"Forget it. Believe what you like. If there's nothing else, leave."
Seeing that Ning Rongrong refused to let the matter go, Li Tianyuan didn't want to bother with her.
"Trying to drive me away? Not a chance!"
"You must think I'm about to expose you."
Cunning flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes as she spoke smugly.
"What else do you want?"
Li Tianyuan asked, speechless.
"Hmph, the sign outside claims your calculations are divinely inspired and never miss a thing. Then I want to ask a profound question. If you answer it correctly, I won't wreck your place!"
Ning Rongrong planted both hands on her hips as she spoke indignantly.
"You still want to wreck my place?"
"You certainly have some nerve."
"All right, what profound question do you want to ask?"
Li Tianyuan felt that Ning Rongrong truly didn't know how high the heavens were or how deep the earth ran. Ning Fengzhi and those other two had spoiled her rotten.
"My question is this: how can the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
After speaking, Ning Rongrong stared coldly at Li Tianyuan.
There was no ready-made answer to that question!
Even her father didn't know.
She wanted to see whether Li Tianyuan could divine it.
If he couldn't, then he was a fraud.
"Your father hasn't found the answer to transforming the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda either, has he?"
"But I can divine it."
"However, this matter is of tremendous importance to your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Its value is immense."
"So, the fee will be ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
Looking at Ning Rongrong, Li Tianyuan raised his divination fee ten thousandfold on the spot.
"You bastard! Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
Ning Rongrong stared at Li Tianyuan in astonishment. Although she was the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she wasn't carrying that much money.
That was a huge sum!
This fellow was opening his jaws like a lion!
After a moment's thought, she couldn't help sneering. "You're only setting such a high fee to dodge the question, aren't you?"
She was certain Li Tianyuan couldn't divine the answer, which was why he was demanding such an outrageous price.
"What, is advancing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda not worth ten thousand Gold Soul Coins?"
Li Tianyuan glanced at Ning Rongrong, still perfectly composed.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had deep pockets and flaunted its wealth. How could he pass up the chance to make a fortune!
