"Since fate brought you both to me, come and sit down."
Lin Fan studied their faces and frowned involuntarily. The people fate had brought him this time seemed a little different from the usual ones.
The two young girls obediently closed the shop door, then came over to Lin Fan and sat on the sofa.
"Lin Yuxin, Bai Xiaobai, things aren't looking good for you."
Lin Fan sighed. He took a look with his Qi-Observing Technique and discovered a mass of black energy between each girl's eyebrows.
What was more, he could faintly sense something sinister within that black energy.
That sinister presence was strange, unlike any aura he had seen before.
Meanwhile, in Xiao Tuantuan's livestream.
[Beloved Orange Returns to Meow Planet as Princess: Hahaha, two more victims!]
[Boss Xiu: Whenever Master Lin says something like that, it means these two girls are dealing with something serious!]
[Guoguo: Let's invite our two victims to tell their stories!]
"Master, please help us!"
Lin Yuxin's eyes reddened as she said, "So many strange things have happened to us lately. They've been tormenting us!"
"All we ask is that you give us each a Peace Talisman, Master Lin, to keep us safe so we never have to deal with anything strange again."
Lin Fan said calmly, "You hear a child crying in the middle of the night, don't you? And you always feel unwell during class."
At his words.
Lin Yuxin and Bai Xiaobai exchanged a glance. They had never expected Master Lin to know about the strange things happening to them without even performing a divination.
They both nodded and pleaded pitifully, "Master, is there any way you can help us?"
Lin Fan hesitated for a moment before replying, "There is, but I don't want to help you."
[Boss Xiu: Holy shit, what did I just hear? Master Lin refused to help?]
[A Silly Goof: You heard right. This is the first time Master Lin has refused!]
[Universe’s Greatest Saintly Mother: Isn’t Master Lin a good person? Why won’t he help? Has he lost his conscience?]
[Ragdoll Cat: Get lost, you sanctimonious do-gooder! Master Lin must have his reasons for refusing!]
[Jiangzhou Saintly Do-Gooder: Heh, what kind of master refuses to help people in trouble?]
That single refusal brought a flood of criticism from the viewers.
Many viewers believed Lin Fan should not have refused. If someone was in trouble, he ought to help.
"Why?"
Lin Yuxin froze. Once she recovered, she demanded, "Master, fate brought us both to you. Why would you refuse?"
Hearing that.
Lin Fan said coldly, "Don't you know why I'm refusing?"
"Don't you know why you hear a child crying in the middle of the night?"
"Don't you know why your shoulders feel so heavy during class?"
Three questions in succession.
Lin Yuxin and Bai Xiaobai lowered their heads involuntarily. Of course they knew the reasons; they simply had never dared to believe them.
"Lin Yuxin, you're only fourteen, yet you've already had seven boyfriends. Three months ago, you got pregnant, but afterward, you couldn't figure out who the father was."
"So you chose to have an abortion. When the unborn child died, it naturally became a mass of yin energy, affecting your body and even causing both you and your best friend to hallucinate."
Lin Fan spared neither girl's feelings as he revealed everything his divination had uncovered.
[Boss Xiu: Fourteen? Seven boyfriends? Pregnant?]
[Ragdoll Cat: Kids these days really get around. I hadn't even dated anyone when I was twenty!]
[Ninety Below Zero: I'm twenty-seven and have been single since birth. I'm single and proud of it! Sob, sob!]
[Universe’s Greatest Saintly Mother: Even if she did something wrong, she’s still just a child!]
[Wandering Geomancer: I'll pay a hundred yuan. Who'll beat up the person above for me?]
Many viewers were stunned. This fourteen-year-old girl had such an extensive romantic history that all the singles wanted to burst into tears.
"As for you, Bai Xiaobai, why should I help you?"
"You haven't had an abortion, but last month, you hit a pregnant woman while driving and caused her to miscarry. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"
Chapter 55: Refusing to Admit Fault!
"No, I didn't!"
Bai Xiaobai went deathly pale. She began to regret entering Lin Fan's shop.
"You have no evidence. The person responsible for last month's accident already turned themselves in. It had nothing to do with me."
The more she spoke, the firmer her gaze became. "That's right. It had nothing to do with me!"
[Boss Xiu: Talk about giving yourself away. Her denial is utterly unconvincing.]
[Ragdoll Cat: That's horrifying. She's so young, yet she hit someone while driving-and a pregnant woman, at that!]
[Ninety Below Zero: You're focusing on the wrong thing. I want to know how a fourteen-year-old girl could drive. And what's this about the culprit turning themselves in?]
[Universe’s Ultimate Saintly Do-Gooder: She’s just a child. Why are you being so harsh on a child?]
[Top Diehard Fan: Please mute the person above, streamer! I can't take it anymore!]
Even the former top hater couldn’t stand Universe’s Ultimate Saintly Do-Gooder.
Age was the perfect disguise.
Being young did not give someone license to do wrong without restraint.
"Indeed, your family is rich. They found someone to take the fall for you."
Lin Fan smiled faintly. "But you must have realized that even if you weren't locked up for what you did, you still have to bear the consequences of your actions."
They looked like two ignorant young girls, yet they had done wrong without acknowledging it.
He truly had no desire to help people like that.
"Yuxin, let's go!"
Bai Xiaobai grabbed Lin Yuxin and tried to pull her toward the door. "I refuse to believe there's no one else in this world who can help us."
The next moment.
Instead of standing, Lin Yuxin shook off Bai Xiaobai's right hand. With tears filling her eyes, she dropped to her knees before Lin Fan. "Master, please save me. I know I was wrong."
Bai Xiaobai froze. She had never expected her friend to give in.
"This is all my fault. I shouldn't have fooled around with men. I shouldn't have gotten pregnant so young, and I shouldn't have given up that little life," Lin Yuxin confessed.
She could no longer endure the torment.
Ever since the abortion, she had heard a child crying late every night. Even when she walked, it felt as though someone was clinging to her shoulders.
The torment was unbearably painful.
"Heh, you're only repenting because you can't stand the torment anymore."
Lin Fan sneered. "If you can give me a reason that convinces me, then perhaps. As for Bai Xiaobai beside you, she can leave."
He spared Bai Xiaobai's feelings not at all and moved straight to throwing her out.
She had to bear the consequences of her own mistakes.
"Master, I promise I won't fool around anymore or get involved with men indiscriminately."
"And I'll do good deeds from now on. I promise I'll never hurt anyone again!"
Lin Yuxin raised her right hand and swore an oath.
At her words.
Lin Fan frowned and performed a divination, discovering that Lin Yuxin was genuinely repentant.
If he helped Lin Yuxin, she really would turn over a new leaf.
Most importantly, Lin Yuxin was different from Bai Xiaobai.
Lin Yuxin had been promiscuous in her private life, while Bai Xiaobai had shown contempt for human life!
"This is a Peace Talisman."
Lin Fan turned to fetch a Peace Talisman and handed it to Lin Yuxin. "This talisman is free, but you must perform at least ten good deeds every year. And once you grow up and can afford it, you must donate a hundred thousand yuan to an orphanage every year."
Cause and effect were intertwined.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes slightly. If Lin Yuxin was not sincere, the Peace Talisman would be of little use.
"Thank you, Master!"
A flicker of joy crossed Lin Yuxin's face as she hurriedly accepted the Peace Talisman. "Don't worry. I'll absolutely keep my word!"
The instant she touched the Peace Talisman.
The Peace Talisman shimmered with a faint golden light.
Lin Yuxin's eyes widened. In that single instant, the weight on her shoulders vanished.
Even the auditory hallucinations that came and went disappeared at that moment.
"I'm better!"
Lin Yuxin could not help exclaiming, "It's incredible! I feel comfortable all over. It doesn't feel like something is weighing on my chest anymore!"
[Boss Xiu: Master Lin is too kind. He helped Lin Yuxin just like that!]
[Ragdoll Cat: I agree with Boss Xiu. He should at least punish Lin Yuxin a little. Otherwise, she's getting off too easily.]
[Ninety Below Zero: Kids these days really don't know any better. Doing something like that at fourteen-she has no respect for herself at all.]
