Ye Fan didn't notice the guy's gaze, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared. He glanced at the youthful and beautiful Li Xiaoman, watching her and the foreigner named Cade discussing things with great interest. Everything felt unfamiliar, and things could never go back to the way they were before.
Although somewhat disappointed, he had improved his self-control over the past few years, shook his head, and did not let the indifference of others shake his emotions.
As Ye Fan gazed at the majestic Mount Tai, he felt its grandeur growing stronger the closer he got. After finishing reading the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, he kept thinking about what the Three Sovereigns and even Confucius were searching for, but the truth seemed to be shrouded in mystery.
"That guy is too arrogant! Even if he's a conman, he's too cocky. Isn't he afraid of getting arrested by the city management officers?"
Liu Yunzhi has a gloomy personality, yet he desperately craves attention and enjoys being praised by others; naturally, he's eager to prove himself. (i.woquge.co m)
As he expected, his words attracted the attention of others, even Ye Fan.
At the foot of the mountain, on the steps, stood a square stall with a flag beside it. White cloth fluttered on the flag, bearing several words written in ink:
Knows everything, understands everything!
"Arrogant!"
When Ye Fan saw these eight characters, he had the same reaction. However, seeing that the wooden table was completely empty, without even the most basic signature, it seemed to be a newly debuted con artist who hadn't learned enough from his predecessors before eagerly trying to swindle money.
Ye Fan's gaze continued to move, and he saw this "ignorant and arrogant" fortune teller.
He was a young man, handsome, with long hair casually draped behind him, not styled in a topknot. He leaned back in a rattan chair, his eyes closed as if he were fast asleep, completely oblivious to the pointing fingers of others and the mocking glances of his colleagues.
"Sir, what's the price for fortune telling?"
Although they knew he was just trying to attract attention, some people couldn't resist their curiosity and went up to ask him.
Surprisingly, the handsome young man didn't rush to swindle money. Without even opening his eyes, he casually replied, "I only tell fortunes to those with a destined connection. Your fate is too low. If you really want your fortune told, I'll make an exception and tell your fortune once for one million!"
"Do you think I'm stupid?!"
The man walked away cursing, and by then everyone knew that he was not only a liar, but also a madman!
"He's quite a strange fellow!"
Ye Fan spoke softly, his detached demeanor setting him apart from his classmates who were more worldly, yet making him all the more eye-catching!

Ye Fan also became more interested. His calm and serene demeanor, coupled with his clear and bright eyes, showed that good looks are indeed an advantage. He attracted the attention of several girls, which infuriated Liu Yunzhi!
Why is Ye Fan always better than him, and more eye-catching, no matter when or where?
A dark aura filled Liu Zhiyun's eyes, making him increasingly irritable. He looked at the fortune teller who was taking a nap nearby, walked up to him, slammed his hand on the table, and said loudly, "You shameless swindler! I advise you to leave now, or you'll be in trouble when the city management officers come!"
The young man on the rattan chair still looked lazy, as if the person in front of him was not a person, but an insignificant ant, not worth his attention.
Liu Zhiyun realized he was being ignored, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward. Although no one made any sarcastic remarks, he could feel the amusement in the eyes of others, which was unacceptable to someone who valued his reputation highly. His eyes darkened, and he reached out as if he wanted to overturn the table!
Stop!
Ye Fan pressed down on Liu Zhiyun's arm to persuade him, but this only further provoked Liu Zhiyun, who placed his palm under the table and forcefully lifted it upwards!
"So heavy!"
No matter how hard Liu Zhiyun tried, he couldn't move the table an inch; it seemed as if the table was rooted to the ground!
"A master!"
Ye Fan looked at the simple, ordinary table and was surprised to see it possess such extraordinary power. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed that the young man in the rattan chair had opened his eyes.
What eyes they were!
The myriad stars are reflected within, and a terrifying figure seems to stand there, a galaxy coiled in his hands, with countless forms of life flowing within it. Every touch stirs up destiny! biquge5200
The white-robed god-demon standing proudly in the starry sky seemed to sense Ye Fan's gaze. Its blurry figure met his eyes with a scrutinizing look. This simple examination startled Ye Fan, who staggered back several steps, his clothes already soaked with cold sweat.
Ye Fan, who had cultivated his temperament for many years and read extensively to refine his character, was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. Liu Zhiyun, standing beside him, was paralyzed with fear, and a foul-smelling yellow liquid flowed out, wetting the ground.
The young man was Xu Le. He looked at the future Heavenly Emperor Ye Fan. Although he was still a mortal, he already had a certain air about him, but none of that mattered.
Before a genius reaches the top, he is ultimately just a potential talent and poses no threat to him. Even if he reaches the top, he will only be at the sixth level. So it is not bad to use him for planning!
Xu Le casually pointed, and the table, which had been as heavy as a rock, was moved aside, revealing a chair. Ye Fan understood the meaning, sat down in the chair, and asked curiously, "Does the Master have something to ask me?"
Xu Le smiled and shook his head, saying, "You and I are destined to meet, so I will make an exception and give you two choices!"
Ye Fan became even more curious and pressed for an answer, "What choice?"
"First, you can exchange your promise for your future destiny; second, you can kowtow three times and bow nine times to become my disciple!"
Xu Le's voice was leisurely. Although the sixth level seemed not high, it was still considered a strong position in the myriad realms. Since he could be brought under his command, this deal was extremely worthwhile!
The sound of thunder in Ye Fan's ears was like a sudden din. He was suddenly asked to take someone as his master, and even to kowtow three times and bow nine times. This was something that a modern person could not accept.
"this……"
Ye Fan politely declined, but then noticed that the Taoist priest in front of him had already stepped onto the steps and was heading towards the Jade Emperor Peak.
"A single leaf can cover the sky, Ye Fan. No need to rush to reply. By the way, that guy next to you isn't going to live much longer!" (22)
Ye Fan watched Xu Le leave with a flourish, somewhat puzzled, but upon hearing the words "a leaf covering the sky," his heart stirred, as if it were closely related to him!
Liu Yunzhi slowly stood up, staring at Ye Fan with a venomous expression. He felt that this was all Ye Fan's trick, but the fear in his heart prevented him from rebuking him. He could only mutter under his breath, "You evil Taoist!"
