"No!"
Chu Tianxiong's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. He rushed forward, trying to catch his daughter.
But he was too slow.
Before he could reach her, she had already slammed into the ground.
In that instant, a golden light seemed to flash, and everyone nearby instinctively closed their eyes.
When they opened their eyes and saw Chu Xiaoxiao a short distance away, they were stunned.
Chapter 42: She Survived Even That?
Chu Xiaoxiao looked bewildered. She had thought she was certain to die.
But after getting up and checking herself over, she discovered that she wasn't injured at all.
"Xiaoxiao!"
Chu Tianxiong rushed over and hugged her tightly, asking over and over, "Are you all right?"
At his question,
Chu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Dad, I don't think I'm hurt."
"But my chest really hurts."
The next moment,
she took a sachet out from inside her clothes. It was slowly burning.
At the sight of the sachet,
Chu Tianxiong understood everything. This was the Peace Talisman Master Lin Fan had given him!
Not long ago, he had escaped a car accident without a scratch, all thanks to Master Lin Fan's Peace Talisman.
He had never imagined that Master Lin's Peace Talisman would save his daughter's life as well.
"Dad, the talisman inside the sachet seems to be burning."
Chu Xiaoxiao opened the sachet. The Peace Talisman inside had already burned to ashes.
"One talisman, one life saved. That's what a true master can do!"
Chu Tianxiong's eyes filled with reverence. Master Lin had told him long ago that, of all his family members, only his daughter would suffer a disaster.
He had assumed it would be something minor, never imagining it would be a matter of life and death.
Without the Peace Talisman, he was certain his daughter would already be dead.
"Holy shit, am I seeing things? Chu Xiaoxiao jumped from the sixth floor, and she's completely fine!"
"That was the sixth floor, not the second!"
"Look, Chu Xiaoxiao doesn't seem to have a single scratch on her. Is she Superman?"
The people around them buzzed with discussion.
Seeing this, Chu Tianxiong quickly took his daughter's hand and headed out of the school.
Since Chu Xiaoxiao's school was well known, a reporter happened to be conducting interviews nearby.
The cameraman beside the reporter had already recorded everything that had just happened.
Seeing Chu Tianxiong about to leave, she hurried over and asked, "Sir, do you know why your daughter was unharmed after jumping from the sixth floor?"
"Judging by your reaction, you don't seem all that surprised. You must know what happened, don't you?"
Faced with the reporter's persistent questions,
Chu Tianxiong grew irritated and could only leave her with one sentence. "If you want to know, go ask Master Lin."
Master Lin?
The reporter froze at the name. As a journalist, she was no stranger to it.
Master Lin was a local, after all, and he was also the hottest master on the internet lately.
"Did you record what he just said?"
"Yes! I even recorded the entire thing, from the moment Chu Xiaoxiao jumped!"
"Let's get back to the station and edit it right away. We've got a viral hit on our hands!"
Over the past three days, practically every video related to Master Lin had made the trending list.
Without hesitation, the reporter and cameraman drove back to the television station, edited the footage, and posted it online.
Meanwhile, in Xiao Tuantuan's livestream.
[Boss Xiu: Hurry up and check the number one trending topic!]
[Ragdoll Cat: I saw it. A girl jumped from the sixth floor, but she wasn't hurt!]
[Ninety Below Zero: That's not the important part. It's what her father said. It sounds like the girl wasn't hurt because of Master Lin!]
[Top Diehard Fan: I just watched it in slow motion. After the girl jumped, she took out a sachet. When I zoomed in, there was a burning talisman inside.]
[Leaf: I get it now. The talismans Master Lin draws really work!]
Since the entire incident had been recorded, some observant viewers noticed the Peace Talisman inside the sachet.
Before long, claims spread online that Lin Fan's Peace Talismans could truly keep people safe, even preventing them from dying in a suicide attempt.
All at once, Lin Fan became a nationwide sensation.
On Taihe Street,
more and more people came to visit, hoping to become someone with a fated connection to Lin Fan.
But wave after wave arrived, only to leave in disappointment.
Not a single person had a fated connection with Lin Fan.
Inside his shop, Lin Fan stretched. After a night of cultivation, his cultivation had advanced considerably again.
Unfortunately, he couldn't livestream.
Otherwise, he really wanted to tell ten people's fortunes in a row and see where his limit lay.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on changing Chu Xiaoxiao's fate. Reward: 100 heavenly secrets points.]
Suddenly, the system's voice rang out.
Lin Fan paused. Who was Chu Xiaoxiao?
After thinking back carefully, he finally remembered. She was Chu Tianxiong's daughter.
"Even something I did without thinking could earn me heavenly secrets points."
Lin Fan smiled faintly. "Looks like I should do more good deeds from now on. Maybe I can keep changing people's fates that way."
Receiving a hundred heavenly secrets points put him in an excellent mood.
Lin Fan thought that it had been ages since he had gone out for a walk. Since he couldn't livestream, this was the perfect opportunity to take a good look at the world outside.
Just as he opened the door,
a wave of noise and bustle hit him.
"There are way too many people!"
At a glance, Lin Fan saw that the entire length of Taihe Street was packed. Everyone had come to try their luck and see whether they could enter his shop.
"Master Lin is here!"
"Master, could you help me? I've been an orphan since I was little, and I want to know who my birth parents are!"
"Master, I'll get down on my knees! Please, just tell my fortune and see whether my husband is still alive!"
There was always suffering in the world.
In this world, those who suffered far outnumbered those who lived in comfort.
Lin Fan froze for a moment. His greatest ability was fortune-telling, but how many people could he save just by telling fortunes?
"No, saving people isn't about numbers."
Suddenly,
Lin Fan caught himself. He had nearly become trapped in an obsession.
Saving someone was a good deed. No matter how many people he saved, he should have a clear conscience.
"What a bullshit master! There are so many of us here, and not one of us has a fated connection with him!"
Suddenly, a jarring voice rang out.
Everyone turned in unison, their gazes landing on a flashy young man with a head of dyed yellow hair.
"What are you looking at me for? Am I wrong? Maybe everything before this was scripted. That whole thing about Brother Duan finding his son? Maybe he paid Brother Duan to put on an act with someone!"
"And look at today's news. Someone jumped from the sixth floor and was fine, all because of one Peace Talisman from Master Lin? You actually believe that?"
The flashy young man looked defiant. From the beginning, he had been skeptical about all these incidents.
After staking the place out for a long time and watching countless people fail to enter the shop,
he thought, This Master Lin must be some kind of fraud.
"Don't you dare slander Master Lin!"
Just as Lin Fan was about to speak, a sweet, childlike voice rang out.
Xiao Tuantuan walked over with her phone raised and accused him indignantly, "If it weren't for Master Lin, something terrible would have happened to me long ago! Isn't my own experience proof enough?"
