Chapter 185 Xiaochun was stunned by being fooled.
In the parking lot, looking at the few people who came late, Xie Zhiyao felt relieved. God knows how his grandma had nagged him along the way. Just now when he was eating, there were too many people, which gave him face.
Xie Zhiyao smiled and said, "Little Gourd has fallen asleep. Sit in the back for a while. I'll drive slowly."
Xie Xiaochun raised his hand and pointed at the sports car not far away, "Brother, no need, I drove here."
Xie Zhiyao then noticed the sports car and couldn't help wondering, "Xiaochun, what are you doing?"
Xie Xiaochun smiled and said, "I have something to do."
Looking at Xie Xiaochun's expression, Xie Zhiyao smiled, thinking that Luo Quan had come, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"The child is sleeping. It's not convenient for you to drive. Why don't you let grandma hold him?"
"No, no, grandma is so old, and Xiao Hulu is not light now, don't get too tired." Xie Xiaochun quickly refused, looked at Chen An and asked, "Xiao Chen, you should be able to drive, right?"
Chen An guessed that Xie Xiaochun would look for him, but he didn't expect that he would be so anxious. He is indeed an impatient person.
"No problem. Don't worry, I have excellent skills and will never damage the flowers and plants on the roadside." Chen An smiled.
Xie Zhiyao looked at Xu Hongdou and asked, "Would you like to take my car or Xiaochun's?"
Xu Hongdou was very curious, wondering why Xiaochun was looking for her stinky little brother, but since she didn't want to hear it, Xu Hongdou naturally wouldn't be so bored. She looked at Xie Zhiyao and said, "I just happened to have something at grandma's stall, and I was just about to pick it up."
Xie Zhiyao was delighted and said, "Okay, get in the car."
"Hongdou, you can just go back to the courtyard later."
Xu Hongdou nodded, knowing that Chen An was going to pick up Nana, but didn't say much.
In the car, Xie Xiaochun pondered for a while before asking, "Xiao Chen, did you have something to do in the ancient city this morning?"
"It's a bit of a personal matter."
"Thank you for that. I told Xia Xia to make sure he makes it for you with all his heart."
Chen An smiled and joked, "Sister Xiaochun, it's not your character to beat around the bush. I still like your straightforwardness."
Xie Xiaochun awkwardly lifted his hair and said, "What I said just now came from my heart. After all, Xia Xia is in this situation. If she doesn't get over it as soon as possible, she will definitely get stuck in a dead end. Making money is the best comfort at this time."
Chen An sighed, "Okay then, I accept your thanks."
Xie Xiaochun glanced at Chen An helplessly, "You are such a cunning kid, I'll just tell you the truth, okay?"
"That's right. You are an impatient person, but you insist on learning how to do Tai Chi. Aren't you just asking for trouble?"
Xie Xiaochun sighed, "Xiao Chen, I really regret it now. When you told me about it, I shouldn't have taken it lightly."
Chen An had his own plans, so he didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Okay, Sister Xiaochun, do you want to ask if I have already seen the problem?"
Xie Xiaochun smiled embarrassedly. It was not that she thought too much, but some things just happened by coincidence. Chen An inexplicably told her fortune and said some seemingly nonsense words, which actually came true. No one else had discovered Xia Xia, but Chen An happened to discover her first, and just a few hours before her? Was this a coincidence, or had he guessed it long ago?
Looking at Xie Xiaochun's expression, Chen An already had an idea in his mind, and said directly, "Yes, I actually saw the problem at that time, but I didn't point it out."
Xie Xiaochun was a little surprised. She thought Chen An might deny it or find other excuses. She never expected that Chen An would admit it directly. She was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she asked in confusion, "Xiao Chen, can you tell me the reason?"
Chen An smiled and started to deceive people. "Sister Xiaochun, this matter has something to do with our sect."
"Master?" Xie Xiaochun's heart moved. Could it be that Xiao Chen was the descendant of a hermit?
"Every profession has its own rules, and our fortune-telling profession is no exception."
"My master is also a man of extraordinary talent in our sect, but he is too young and full of energy. He always thinks that he has all the skills and can solve all problems, so he doesn't take my master's words to heart at all."
"Relying on my skills, I helped others to read Feng Shui and fortune, and helped them to avoid disasters and change their fate. It was indeed very glorious for many years. The reputation of our sect was also greatly known because of my master."
"In our family, the lineage has always been a single-line inheritance, basically from father to son. Even if there is no son, at most it will be passed on to the son-in-law. But when it came to my master's generation, he was too conceited and did not take the words of his ancestors seriously. Even at the age of fifty, he still had no descendants."
Xie Xiaochun asked curiously, "Isn't it said that most of these sects practice Taoism? Shouldn't they be pure-hearted and free from desires?"
"Although our sect is considered a branch of Taoism, it is different from the general self-cultivation sect, so the matter of marrying a wife is not the same as other sects. But even so, none of my master's dozen women can give him a child."
Xie Xiaochun's mouth twitched as he asked, "Does your master have any hidden illness?"
Chen An shook his head gently. "Although my master's medical skills are not as good as his Feng Shui and fortune-telling skills, he is also a very famous doctor. How could he not know whether he is sick? Moreover, it's not that no women have gotten pregnant over the years, but none of them survived. They always miscarried for various reasons."
"Later, my master finally understood the ancestral teachings. Revealing too many secrets would lead to backlash. He felt guilty and worried that the sect's inheritance would be cut off, so he adopted me. However, in order to prevent me from following his old path, he did not teach me any profound knowledge. Even my half-baked skills were learned by secretly reading books."
Xie Xiaochun understood what Chen An meant, feeling a little depressed and helpless. "Xiao Chen, I know you have concerns, and I don't have any other intentions. After all, when you said it, I just thought it was a joke, after all, we are not related."
Chen An shook his head. "Sister Xiaochun, you are half right. The other half is because of Xia Xia himself. He is destined to have this experience. Even if I forcibly stop him, there may be a bigger pit waiting for him one day in the future. If he has already started a family and has children by then, he can't afford to lose. Youth is the greatest asset."
Thinking about his brother's appearance and what he said, Xie Xiaochun agreed with Chen An's idea. "To be honest, I think Xia Xia's being deceived this time was worth it in some ways. It's like she grew up all of a sudden. With this profound lesson, she doesn't have to be so careless anymore. She can settle down and learn the craft. Her ambition was high, but it was a pity that she couldn't fly. She fell pretty badly."
Chen An teased, "From what I see from you, you seem to be more concerned about the money, right?"
"Do you think everyone is the same as you? It's not easy for me, a single mother with a child, to make some money," Xie Xiaochun said with some anger.
