A top star in the Chinese entertainment industry, but also a Taoist priest.

[Gulnazar Baihtiyar, compatibility 81%. Spiritual Root Aptitude: Low-grade Profound.]

[Destiny: A Pearl from Another Land. Special Note: Although this person is of a different race, they possess an innate curiosity. With proper guidance, they can find a path to enlightenment.]

Chen Shouyi glanced at the 81%, which was four points lower than Tian Xiwei's and six points lower than Chen Yao's. But it was better than nothing.

bind.

[Taoist affinity successfully bound.]

Naza withdrew her hand, took her coffee, and moved to Jin Chen's side, whispering, "The Taoist priest's words are quite interesting, but I just can't understand them."

Tang Yixin also came over, smiling and extending her hand: "Taoist Master, could you take a look at me too?"

Upon examining her palm, Chen Shou observed that her marital palace was very strong, her love line was clean and clear, a single main line running from beginning to end without any branches. Her life line and wisdom line were also clearly defined.

"Your love life is going very well, and your career has also been on the rise in the past two years. Your greatest blessing is in your family."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yixin smiled so hard her eyes curved into crescent moons. She turned to look at Zhang Ruoyun, who couldn't help but grin as well.

[Tang Yixin, binding is not recommended. This person is destined for a stable marriage; it is advised that the host not try to steal her away.]

Chen Shouyi rolled his eyes inwardly.

Stealing someone's partner? He's a Taoist priest, not someone who steals partners.

But wait a minute, doesn't Nazha have a boyfriend too?

Chen Shouyi clearly remembered that Nazha and Zhang Yu's relationship was making headlines this year, and they should still be together now.

They broke up very quickly.

The system's responses are as concise as a customer service robot.

This kind of time-sensitive marriage can be considered, albeit barely, and doesn't constitute a moral obstacle.

Chen Shouyi: "..."

So it's still a double standard.

"Taoist priest?"

Jin Chen's voice pulled him back to reality.

"Are you alright? You seemed to be spacing out just now."

"It's alright." Chen Shouyi snapped out of his thoughts. "I was just sensing the aura of you all."

"What did you sense?" Jin Chen pressed.

"You didn't sleep well last night, benefactor."

Jin Chen was taken aback: "How did you know?"

"The dark circles under your eyes are what tell me."

The people around them all laughed.

Naza burst out laughing, and Tang Yixin covered her mouth, doubled over with laughter. Zhang Ruoyun couldn't help but chuckle as well, then shook her head.

After laughing, Nazha suddenly seemed to remember something, grabbed Chen Yao's wrist, and pulled her in front of Chen Shouyi.

"Master, please take another look at her!"

Chen Yao was pulled forward and staggered half a step. Nazha had already turned her hand over and presented it to Chen Shouyi with her palm facing up.

"Nazha!" Chen Yao's face flushed red instantly, and she tried to pull her hand back.

"Don't move, don't move." Nazha gripped her wrist tightly, refusing to let go. "Taoist Master, please take a good look at her. Our Teacher Chen needs some guidance lately."

Tang Yixin chimed in, "That's right, Chen Yao, didn't you say you didn't have time last night? This is perfect!"

Chen Yao was surrounded by two people and couldn't pull her hand away. A blush spread from her cheeks to her ears.

Zhang Ruoyun stood behind, watching this scene, then looked at her own hand holding Tang Yixin's, and her lips twitched again.

Chen Shouyi looked down at Chen Yao's palm.

Her hands were very white, with slender fingers and distinct but not protruding knuckles. The lines on her palms were softer than Jin Chen's, clearer than Nazha's, and deeper than Tang Yixin's.

The lifeline starts from the base of the thumb and extends along the base of the palm. The line is smooth and deep, with a slight bend in the middle, like a river turning a corner.

The wisdom line is long, with clear lines and no forks.

The heart line is very deep, not a faint fine line, but a deep mark etched into the palm.

Starting from below the index finger, the line meanders downwards without branching out, but there is a slight undulation below the ring finger.

Chen Shouyi's gaze lingered on the line of emotion for a moment.

"Master Chen's destiny is one of nobility and refinement."

Nazha leaned closer: "What does 'refined and elegant' mean?"

"Refined elegance means not relying on fanfare to win." Chen Shouyi's gaze was still fixed on Chen Yao's palm.

"Your facial features and palm lines indicate that you are not destined for overnight fame. Your fortune is like a river, not a waterfall, it doesn't rely on drops or fanfare, but it flows far."

Chen Yao didn't speak, but his fingers twitched slightly.

"A long wisdom line indicates that you are naturally suited to be an actor. Your sensitivity is stronger than others, and you can understand the subtleties of a character. This is talent." Chen Shou paused for a moment.

"But there is a bend in the lifeline. This bend is not in the early years, but in the middle years. In the early years, there will be a flat stretch of road, where you will walk neither too fast nor too slow."

In the mid-game, you'll encounter a turning point, a turning point that requires a choice. Choose correctly, and the rest is smooth sailing.

Chen Yao looked up and met his gaze: "Then... what's the right choice for me?"

Chen Shouyi looked at her and released her hand.

"You know it in your heart."

Chen Yao was stunned.

"The lines on your palm tell me that you are a sensible person. You know better than anyone which path to take."

Chen Shouyi's tone was calm: "You just sometimes need someone to confirm things for you."

Chen Yao looked at him and fell silent.

Jin Chen opened his mouth as if to say something, but Nazha tugged at his sleeve and he closed it again. Tang Yixin also stopped smiling.

"Thank you, Daoist Master." Chen Yao's voice was very soft.

She withdrew her hand, no longer lowering her head, but looked at Chen Shouyi, a slight smile curving her lips.

It's very light, but very beautiful.

At this moment, Jin Chen leaned over and broke the silence:

"What about me? What about me? Daoist Master, you talked so much about Chen Yao, but when it comes to me, you just put the feelings aside for now and that's it?"

"My lord, your career path is indeed quite impressive."

"What about the love line?"

"This humble monk suggests that you heed my advice."

Jin Chen: "..."

Naza laughed out loud, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed.

Zhang Ruoyun stepped forward, extended her hand, and said half-jokingly, "Daoist Master, if it's convenient, could you take a look at me too?"

Chen Shouyi looked at his hand.

"Mr. Zhang's family is quite well-off," Chen Shouyi said.

Zhang Ruoyun's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"But you are not destined to live off your family," Chen Shouyi continued.

"The lifeline was cut by a horizontal line in the early years, indicating that the person's relationship with the elders in the family was not very deep, and the family environment in the early years was somewhat complicated."

But this horizontal line didn't sever the lifeline, indicating that the person who made the decision has overcome it.

Zhang Ruoyun's smile faded slightly, but her eyes became serious.

"Your career will truly take off around the age of thirty," Chen Shouyi said, withdrawing his gaze. "If nothing goes wrong, you have the opportunity to become a superstar. Not through slowly building up your reputation, but through—"

"What is it?"

"It happened instantly," Chen Shouyi said. "It's like someone gave you a push, and then everyone remembered you."

Zhang Ruoyun was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Daoist Master."

He withdrew his hand and glanced at Tang Yixin. Tang Yixin smiled at him, and he smiled back. Their hands naturally clasped together.

Jin Chen sighed beside him, "So, it seems like I'm just unlucky in love?"

"Benefactor," Chen Shouyi glanced at her, "as I just said, your career prospects are quite good."

"…Master, could you please stop bringing this up? I don't want to hear about it."

"Alright, alright." Jin Chen waved his hand. "Anyway, I've added you on WeChat. Daoist Master, if I ever become really famous, I'll be the first to go to your temple to give thanks."

Naza also joined in, looking at Chen Shouyi: "Taoist Master, I want to join too! I can go and fulfill my vow too!"

Tang Yixin smiled and took out her phone, while Chen Yao remained silent and quietly took out her phone as well.

Chen Shouyi glanced at the girls, took out his phone from his sleeve, and showed them a QR code.

While scanning the QR code, Nazha casually asked, "Taoist Master, what's your WeChat name?"

"Clear Spring".

"Just the spring water? Nothing else?"

"This humble Taoist priest needs nothing else."

After scanning the QR code, Nazha glanced at her phone screen and suddenly smiled:

"Master, your profile picture is quite cute."

Chen Shouyi's WeChat profile picture is a cartoonish version of a Taoist priest. [See image]

"That was made by my disciple," Chen Shouyi said without changing his expression.

Shouzhuo silently lowered his head beside him.

Jin Chen asked curiously, "Daoist Master, what do you usually chat about on WeChat?"

"It depends," Chen Shouyi said. "Some people ask about their fortune, some ask about feng shui, and some ask about health preservation."

"Has anyone chatted with you?"

Chen Shouyi thought for a moment and said, "Yes. There is a benefactor who sends me a message every day without fail."

Who is it?

"A very talkative benefactor."

Jin Chen laughed out loud.

Chen Yao was the last to scan the QR code. After scanning it, she paused in the verification message section and then typed a few words.

Chen Shouyi's phone vibrated.

He glanced down at it.

Verification message: Chen Yao.

Chen Shouyi approved the request and then put his phone back in his sleeve.

Jin Chen held up his phone again: "Master, may I take a picture with you?"

"This humble Taoist priest does not take photos."

Just one!

"Benefactor, I am a monk."

Jin Chen pursed his lips and put his phone away, but then smiled again, "Alright then, I'll treat you to dinner another day. Don't refuse!"

Shouzhuo watched silently as his master was surrounded by four girls, some adding him on WeChat, others inviting him to dinner.

He had only one thought in his mind: Master, when you were talking about sensing the energy field just now, you were clearly daydreaming.

"Esteemed benefactors, this humble Taoist priest must go over there to see a sight, so please excuse me."

"Take care, Taoist priest, don't forget to come for dinner!" Jin Chen waved to him.

Nazha waved and said, "See you later, Taoist priest!"

Chen Yao stood still, watching Chen Shouyi turn and walk away.

"Let's go, let's go." Nazha put her arm around her shoulder. "Have you seen enough?"

"...I didn't see it."

"Okay, okay, you didn't." Nazha said with a grin, pulling her back.

Zhang Ruoyun and Tang Yixin walked at the back. After walking a short distance, Zhang Ruoyun slightly turned her head, leaned close to Tang Yixin's ear, and whispered:

"This person...could they be a psychology student?"

Tang Yixin smiled slightly, then lowered her voice, "How do you know it wasn't actually calculated?"

"I can't explain it." Zhang Ruoyun thought for a moment, "What he said was all too accurate. So accurate that it didn't seem like he calculated it, but rather like he saw it."

"Isn't that a skill too?"

Zhang Ruoyun was silent for a moment, then nodded: "That's true."
