Chapter 673: Chapter 673: May Lightning Strike You Down Chapter 673: Chapter 673: May Lightning Strike You Down Dongqing Temple master Shu Yu immediately swore to the heavens, “I absolutely do not tell lies; I am the most honest person. Moreover, those of us in this profession absolutely forbid false talk. If I dare to deceive you, I’ll let you…” be struck by lightning.
The words “let you” were spoken by Shu Yu very softly, audible only to Daya who was standing beside her.
Originally, Daya was frightened pale when she heard her sister was about to swear an oath with no taboos, and she was about to stop her. However, she was stunned for a moment by these two words and didn’t react in time.
By the time she regained her senses, she couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
However, Boss He in the front, upon hearing her words, was slightly relieved.
Fifteen minutes later, Boss He took note of the prescription Shu Yu had described and walked out of the alley.
Seeing that they had gone far away, Shu Yu pulled Daya to follow them out.
Once in a secluded place, Daya quickly asked in a low voice, “Yu, Yu, did you really see something dirty on Boss He’s shoulder just now?”
Could her second sister actually possess such an ability? That’s incredible.
Seeing Daya’s face was a mixture of fear and admiration, she couldn’t help covering her face, “Sister, you believe that too? If I really had that ability, I would have become a charlatan, why would I allow myself to be exiled to Righteous Dao Village to suffer?”
Daya gave Shu Yu a look. Aren’t you like a charlatan right now?
But she quickly came to her senses, “So, you, you deceived him?”
“Actually, I wanted to take action, but then I thought that I am a civilized person who understands propriety, and not all problems can be solved by force. So I thought I might as well bluff.”
Daya looked at her with an indescribable expression, “But aren’t you afraid of being exposed? Although Boss He hasn’t read much, to become the local tyrant here, he must not be a fool. He was bluffed by you for the moment, but once he thinks it over, he might realize the truth, mightn’t he?”
Shu Yu with a smile, “Sister, even though I did deceive him, I didn’t just make up nonsense. The soreness in his shoulder is something he feels himself.”
“You, you noticed that?”
Shu Yu nodded. Her master was, after all, the Dongqing Temple master. Being his disciple… even though she lacked talent in this area, she still learned the basics from her master.
Such as… attentive observation.
When she approached Boss He, she clearly saw his complexion was yellowish, and his lips slightly purplish–a clear sign he had some illness.
“I’ve known Doctor Zhao for so long, and he’s taught me some knowledge of pathology, so I roughly guessed what illness he had. Plus, when he spoke, he occasionally moved his shoulder, clearly indicating discomfort in his shoulders and neck.”
Daya had an epiphany, then her brow furrowed again, “So he is actually ill? But you said that his luck had been bad recently, either stepping in dog feces or bumping his limbs–isn’t that just bluffing?”
“That’s because I saw dog feces stuck on the side of his shoes. As for bumping into things and ripping his clothes, that was made up on the spot. After all, these are mistakes we make when we are not careful normally. Being ill now, his mind is not as sharp as before, and it’s even more common for him to walk inattentively and bump into things. These are trivial matters, but combined with what I had said earlier, he would naturally magnify them in his mind.”
After all, it was a bet on that Boss He’s mindset.
“So, the prescription you gave him is actually a remedy for his illness?”
