Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 573 - 545: Calculating Others, Not Oneself
Lin Tian nodded. $6,666 was petty cash for him but for these villagers, it covered an entire year of expenses, which was indeed not a small amount.
"Damn it, who cares if you don't have money, are you seeking death?"
Not even five minutes after that villager had left, a discordant voice came from the straw hut, and soon after, the two Mirror Breaking warriors at the doorway rushed inside.
"Spare me, please spare me."
A Mirror Breaking warrior dragged that villager out, throwing him hard onto the ground.

At that moment, a fat man came rushing out. This person was none other than Zhou Yi, famously known as Master Bai Xiao.
Zhou Yi, with hands on his hips and acting like a scolding wife, pointed at the villager on the ground and cursed fiercely, "Damn it, you dare to seek a fortune telling without money? Do you think this is Charity Hall? My fortune-tellings reduce lifespan, and without money, who will do it for you?"
The villager quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging, "Master Zhou, Master Zhou, I was wrong, I know I was wrong. The volcano is about to erupt, and when my family was escaping, I lost my granddaughter. Please, I beg you to cast a fortune for me. I will be grateful for ten generations."
Having said that, the villager hurriedly pulled out a bunch of money from his bosom—several hundreds and the rest were fives and tens, even including coins of one and two.
He pleaded, "Master Zhou, I beg you, it's not that I don't want to pay you. I just don't have the full $6,666. I've scraped together $2,324 here, please take it for now. Once I gather the full amount, I'll pay you the rest, please, I implore you to save my granddaughter, please, she is only four years old!"
The villager cried out, his forehead pounding the ground so hard that it broke the skin.
Even Lin Tian was moved. He was just about to intervene and help the villager.
Just then, Zhou Yi shouted, "This is blasphemy against the gods, someone kill him."
"No!"
Lin Tian yelled out, but it was too late. One of the Mirror Breaking warriors swiftly beheaded the villager with a single stroke of his knife.
The head flew up, the eyes wide open with reluctance and fear.
Without a second thought, someone was murdered—who wouldn't be scared? Another villager who was prepared to have his fortune told was scared to death and immediately ran away, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
"Damn, really bad luck, encountering another pauper. Pick up his filthy money and the two of you clean up this place," ordered Zhou Yi.
The two Mirror Breaking warriors quickly started to clean up, but at that moment, Lin Tian stepped forward.
"I want my fortune told."
Lin Tian shouted, but his tone carried a hint of murderous intent. Zhou Yi treating human lives like grass over a mere few thousand dollars, such a person, living in this world, was an insult to the entire planet. If it weren't for his need to find the whereabouts of Guan Family Village, Lin Tian would have killed him with a single stroke long ago.
Zhou Yi looked at Lin Tian and yelled, "Kid, are you here for a fortune telling?"
"Yes," Lin Tian answered.
Zhou Yi pointed to the corpse on the ground and threatened, "Kid, you see that? I just killed him for a simple reason, he didn't bring enough money. My fortune-telling connects with celestial beings, and the money I ask for is tribute to those celestial beings above. $6,666, not a penny less. If you don't have the money, just scram. I'm sick of killing."
Zhou Yi, seeing no reaction from Lin Tian, asked disdainfully, "Hey, kid, are you deaf? Did you understand what I just told you? To get a fortune from me, it's $6,666 and not a penny less. Do you have the money?"
"No, not a cent," Lin Tian said angrily.
As soon as Lin Tian finished speaking, Zhou Yi and his two Mirror Breaking warriors all turned their gaze toward Lin Tian, one of whom had already drawn his knife.
Zhou Yi roared, "Damn it, you little bastard, did you just ignore what I said? Coming here without money for a fortune telling, damn it, kill him."
After saying that, with a huff, he turned away, and the two Mirror Breaking warriors, roaring in anger, lunged at Lin Tian.
Subsequently, two screams came, and Zhou Yi shuddered all over with fear, turning his head in disbelief, only to see a scene that made his heart tremble.
Lin Tian's fists were fiercely pressed against the throats of two Mirror Breaking experts, blood flowing from their mouths as they stared wide-eyed and slowly fell down.
Dead!
Lin Tian slowly turned his head, stared at Zhou Yi, and said, "This is my money, I've paid with two lives, is that acceptable?"
Zhou Yi was stunned, staring into Lin Tian's eyes as if he saw an Asura from Hell.
This wasn't payment, this was clearly a threat!
Zhou Yi quickly knelt down, kowtowing and pleading, "My lord, my lord, I was wrong, I don't want your money, I'll read your fortune, no, I'll read a hundred fortunes for you, just spare me, I'll read fortunes for you for a lifetime."
Read fortunes for a lifetime?
Humph!
Lin Tian would never allow such a person to stay by his side for a lifetime, and as soon as Lin Tian learned what he wanted to know, he would immediately kill Zhou Yi.
He commanded, "Get up."
Zhou Yi did not dare to defy Lin Tian and immediately sprang up, but he continued to plead without daring to look at Lin Tian.
Lin Tian asked, "Read a fortune for me, get it right, and I might spare your life. Tell me, where is Guan Family Village now?"
Zhou Yi wiggled his five fingers, glanced at the sky, clasped his hands together, and then, with eyes wide open, said, "It's thirty li in the northeast direction."
"Nonsense," Lin Tian shouted. "I just came from that direction and did not see Guan Family Village; you dare to deceive me."
Lin Tian clenched his fists, ready to kill him.
He was bluffing Zhou Yi, fearing that he would lie and lead him astray.
Zhou Yi, terrified, shuddered all over, fell to his knees, and quickly kowtowed begging, "My lord, spare my life, spare my life, my fortune-telling is very accurate, I could never be wrong. Please check again, Guan Family Village must be there."
Seeing Zhou Yi's demeanor, he must not have lied, so Lin Tian felt reassured.
He asked Zhou Yi to stand and questioned him, "You usually read fortunes for others, have you ever read your own fortune?"
"I have," Zhou Yi replied.
"Have you ever calculated your lifespan, whether you will die peacefully?"
Hearing Lin Tian's words, Zhou Yi got an uneasy feeling and shifted his steps slightly backward, then said, "I've calculated my own lifespan, I will die at the age of ninety-six, die a natural death, a peaceful death, without any regrets."
Lin Tian laughed and said, "It seems, then, that you are not very accurate, are you?"
"What?" Zhou Yi exclaimed, and the next moment, a Flying Dagger had already entered his throat.
Zhou Yi fell down!
A fortune-teller can predict thousands for others, but can never predict his own fate.
Doctors cannot heal themselves; fortune-tellers cannot read their own fortunes!
