Lin Fan folded up the Natal Tai Sui Protective Talisman, then fetched a sachet and tucked the talisman inside.
After all, a talisman like this had to be carried close to the body. Without a sachet, it could easily get damaged and would be awkward to carry.
"Remember, even when you shower, the Natal Tai Sui Protective Talisman must stay within three meters of you."
"Thank you, Master!"
Xiao Tuantuan took the sachet. The next moment, she felt a warm energy seep into her palm.
She even noticed that her migraine had disappeared, replaced by an incredible sense of clarity and refreshment.
"It really works."
Lin Fan used the Qi-Observing Technique again. On closer inspection, he saw a force steadily wearing away the dark aura between Xiao Tuantuan's brows.
The dark aura kept dissipating.
He believed that once it vanished completely, Xiao Tuantuan's bad luck would vanish with it.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on helping Xiao Tuantuan turn her luck around. Reward: 1,000 Heavenly Secrets Points!]
One thousand Heavenly Secrets Points!
Lin Fan's eyes lit up slightly. He had thought that turning someone's luck around would earn him two hundred Heavenly Secrets Points at most. He had never expected the system to be so generous, handing him a thousand just like that.
Rather than spend them, he saved them.
He wanted to buy a cultivation manual, and even the cheapest one cost five thousand Heavenly Secrets Points.
He would have to work harder. Another four people should earn him enough to buy one.
"Our fated encounter ends here. You may leave now."
Lin Fan stood up to see her out. Xiao Tuantuan's luck had already begun to improve, so there was no need for her to stay in the shop.
At his words,
Xiao Tuantuan felt reluctant to leave, mainly because her livestream's popularity had soared while she was in the shop.
She had just checked her dashboard: a full three million actual viewers were watching.
Xiao Tuantuan worked up her courage and asked, "Master, could I stay a little longer?"
Lin Fan shook his head. Although Xiao Tuantuan was cute, he had exhausted too much of his energy and needed a good rest. He couldn't keep an outsider here.
"I'll read your fortune one last time, then you should leave on your own."
Lin Fan calculated on his fingers. Sure enough, this time he discovered that Xiao Tuantuan's fate had changed as well.
Fortune and misfortune went hand in hand.
The Natal Tai Sui Protective Talisman could indeed reverse bad luck and gradually bring good fortune.
But until her bad luck disappeared, the calamity Xiao Tuantuan would face remained largely unchanged.
"After you get home, your best friend will call and ask you to go out singing tonight. Whatever you do, don't go."
"After that, your best friend will come to your home. Under no circumstances should you open the door. You can even call the police."
"This is the last calamity you'll face after putting on the Yang Talisman."
As soon as he finished speaking,
Lin Fan stood up and pushed Xiao Tuantuan outside.
Before Xiao Tuantuan could react, she was already out of the shop.
When she turned around to go back inside, she discovered that no matter what she tried, she couldn't approach the entrance.
Whenever she came within a meter of the door, she would involuntarily walk backward until she returned to where she had started.
[Chu Yi: Master Lin is impressive, but isn't this a bit far-fetched? Predicting her best friend's phone call that precisely? I'm not sure I believe it.]
[Number One Hater: I've gone from fan to hater again. Xiao Tuantuan, keep streaming. We want to see whether your best friend asks you out tonight!]
[Fishing Bay Guild: Scripted! It has to be scripted!]
[Here Comes the Contrarian: This is so fake. If it isn't scripted, I'll eat shit!]
[Chu Conqueror: You're seriously underestimating Master Lin. Just wait and see!]
In the livestream chat,
Even Xiao Tuantuan's fans were skeptical. If he could truly calculate the exact events that would happen, that wasn't divine fortune-telling-it was predicting the future!
Xiao Tuantuan noticed that her viewer count hadn't dropped after she left. In fact, it was still climbing.
Clearly, these viewers wanted her to keep streaming until tonight so they could see whether Master Lin's predictions would come true.
"All right, I'll stream the whole thing for you and won't end the broadcast until tomorrow."
Popularity came first.
Carrying her phone and its mount, Xiao Tuantuan headed home.
Night soon fell.
In a residential complex in Jiangzhou City,
After streaming all day, Xiao Tuantuan slumped limply on the couch.
"It's eight already, and my best friend hasn't called."
Ever since sunset, she had been anxiously waiting for her best friend's call.
Yet her personal phone hadn't rung once.
Just then,
The song "Riding My Little Scooter" began to play.
Xiao Tuantuan immediately picked up her phone. Seeing "Best Friend A Jing" on the screen, she felt both shocked and delighted.
What Master Lin Fan had predicted had really happened!
[Chu Yi: Here it is, here it is! Her best friend's calling!]
[Number One Hater: Awesome! Judging by her reaction, this doesn't look scripted!]
[Fishing Bay Guild: What's so special about a phone call? That Master Lin said it was a calamity. Is her best friend supposed to hurt Xiao Tuantuan or something?]
Xiao Tuantuan and her best friend had known each other for years.
None of the viewers believed her best friend would do anything to hurt Xiao Tuantuan.
"Tuantuan, I've booked a private room tonight. Hurry over and sing with us," her best friend A Jing said.
Hearing her voice,
Xiao Tuantuan froze. She really was inviting her out to sing. Could Master Lin predict even details like that?
She swallowed, remembering Master Lin's warning not to go out.
After a moment's hesitation,
Xiao Tuantuan declined her best friend's invitation. "I've caught a cold, so I'm not going out today."
She had barely finished speaking
When a voice came through the phone. "You're sick? I'll come over right away!"
Every prediction had come true!
Chapter 30: Fair-Weather Sisters!
[Peace to All Good People: It came true! Everything Master Lin said has come true!]
[Chu Yi: Impossible. A Jing is the streamer's best friend. How could she hurt her?]
[Wants to Eat Tuantuan's Apple Flavor: The master said you should call the police. Tuantuan, just call them!]
[Keyboard Immortal: What's there to fear? With so many of us watching, would her best friend dare do anything bad?]
Watching the comments scroll across the screen, Xiao Tuantuan felt uneasy.
But A Jing was her best friend. They were as close as sisters.
She didn't believe her best friend would hurt her.
"Don't worry, everyone. A Jing would never hurt me."
Xiao Tuantuan said confidently, "She must want to come take care of me because I'm sick. If you don't believe me, I'll hide my phone in a moment so she won't know I'm streaming."
If A Jing really had ill intentions, she certainly wouldn't act on them if she knew Xiao Tuantuan was streaming.
Xiao Tuantuan looked around, found a secluded corner, and set up her phone.
The camera faced the living room, giving a clear view of everything inside.
Before long, the doorbell rang.
"Tuantuan, open up!"
"Coming!"
For some reason, Xiao Tuantuan felt a flicker of nervousness. Feigning composure, she walked over and opened the door.
"Are you okay? Do you have a fever?"
As soon as A Jing entered, she touched the back of her hand to Xiao Tuantuan's forehead, then said, "Your temperature's normal."
Seeing the worry on A Jing's face, Xiao Tuantuan couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief.
Perhaps Master Lin had gotten it wrong. A Jing was her good friend and would surely never do anything to harm her.
"I'm just feeling a little under the weather. I'll be fine after some rest."
Xiao Tuantuan led A Jing to the couch and sat down with her. "A Jing, didn't you know I was streaming today? Why did you suddenly ask me out?"
At her question,
A flicker of panic crossed A Jing's face, but she quickly regained her composure and replied, "I thought you might be bored from streaming, so I wanted to take you out to unwind."
