Chapter 657: 553 Critical Hit Again! Supporting the Kids [1 more update]_3
Huan was furious, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, “These people really don’t know what’s good for them, I won’t stoop to their level.”
Being in his second year, his astrology abilities certainly couldn’t compare to those of his seniors, but at least he truly knew how to divine.
Were those folk running divination shops any better than him?
They were nothing but charlatans out to deceive others.
The other members of his group did make some money, enough for a meal at least.
Although Group Two went to the Han Pavilion, Huan’s group only managed to visit a street-side snack bar.
After the meal, everyone gathered again to discuss the sights they would visit the next day.
Huan, holding a map, pointed to a spot, “Let’s go here.”
Adele pouted, “What’s so great about climbing mountains?”
“That place is best avoided,” Ying Zijin said indifferently, “Wild mountains and ridges are not safe.”
“What’s not safe about it?” Huan retorted coldly, “Isn’t this one of your imperial capital’s scenic areas? You’re saying it’s not safe?”
He had done his research thoroughly.
The Solitary Mountain confirmed by the Hershel Family was just behind a tourism area, though not many people visited it.
Of course, no one wanted to trek to a Solitary Mountain, so Huan could only use the tourist site as a pretext.
Since the Borrowing Fortune incident, Li Han had come to trust Ying Zijin deeply.
To be precise, she believed in metaphysics, in the real existence of karmic retribution in this world.
Father Li and Mother Li had both lost their jobs and even sold their house, now cramming into a rented room together.
Li Wenxuan had fallen into a deep coma, with the hospital declaring he might not have long to live.
All of this was retribution.
So without a second thought, Li Han immediately refused.
“Wen Tinglan, you’re a Norton University student after all,” Huan turned to the young man, “You’ve taken the exploration class too, you can’t be afraid to go, right?”
Who among Norton University students would fear such things?
Wen Tinglan simply lifted his eyes, which were pitch-black.
As if he had seen something.
Huan’s heart skipped a beat.
Ying Zijin suddenly spoke up, “Xiao Lan, you go.”
Without asking for a reason, Tinglan agreed directly, “Mhm, then I’ll go.”
Huan scoffed, “Always listening to your sister, you’re really useless.”
He really didn’t know how Adele, being a descendant of an astrologer family at Norton University and having met so many elites, could have taken a fancy to Wen Tinglan?
“If Tinglan is going, I’m going too,” Adele’s ears perked up at the crucial piece of information, joyfully adding, “I can help with blowing up the mountain.”
Li Han choked on her water.
“Miss Milton, my father would like to meet you,” Ying Zijin said, “He is a researcher and is quite busy with experiments, he’s only free tomorrow.”
“Alright then,” Adele could only give up, “I’ll go see Daddy.”
Without hesitation, Huan decided, “Then it’s settled.”
His real target was just Wen Tinglan, naturally he didn’t want Adele to go.
Ying Zijin took out a set of Tarot Cards and casually spread them out.
“Hey, sister, you play with Tarot Cards too,” Adele bounced over excitedly, “Your Tarot Cards aren’t bad.”
Coming from an astrologer family, Adele could naturally tell that these Tarot Cards were genuine.
It was true that occasionally a few real decks of Tarot Cards would make it to the market, but those were rare.
Buying one was not easy.
“Mhm,” Ying Zijin drew three cards, “I know a bit.”
After days of being oppressed, Huan finally couldn’t stand it any longer.
Upon hearing her words, he sneered with sarcasm, “You call that playing with Tarot Cards? What do you know about Tarot Cards?”
Did he truly believe that the Tarot Cards sold on the market could predict anything remarkable?
