In short, it all comes down to one thing: face reading! Constant face reading! And so the cycle continues...

The fortune points gained from face reading can be used to raise the level of a physiognomist, improve cultivation, or even to see a person's fortunes and misfortunes for the next three months.

"This is forcing me down the path of a charlatan with no way back..." Brian Carter sucked in a cold breath. "But how could someone as honest and upright as me become a big con artist?"

Brian Carter was very distressed.

He felt that, with his bright, upright, and open character, his broad and noble heart, his concern for the country and the people, always worrying before others do... I shouldn't be capable of trickery and deceit. Isn't this forcing a good person into a bad situation?

Am I that kind of person?!

But, after he looked into it in detail, his mood changed instantly.

"Awesome!"

Brian Carter took a deep breath.

"Even if I never become a master in the future, just with this set of skills, I can travel the world without worrying about food or drink!"

"Actually, being a fortune-teller is quite respected... it doesn't affect my upright image at all..."

"It's just... where is the Eye of Fortune formed by the white jade, the yin-yang fish, the broken jade pendant, and the star soul jade...?"

...

A single thought.

Suddenly, both eyes ached.

A sour sensation.

Brian Carter just blinked twice, and suddenly a strong, sour feeling seemed to surge up from the depths of his soul. Caught off guard, tears streamed down his face, pouring out like a floodgate had opened.

His eyes flowed like little rivers, streaming nonstop.

"Damn!"

"I haven't cried in years... How long do I have to cry to make up for it this time?..." Brian Carter was crying like crazy, feeling as if his eyes had turned into two springs.

"Doggy!"

Grace Carter pushed the door open and walked in, just in time to see Brian Carter with tears streaming down his face, looking heartbreakingly sad. Her heart trembled, and she exclaimed in shock, "Duoduo, what's wrong? Why... are you crying?"

Brian Carter frantically wiped his tears. "I'm not... crying..."

For a moment, he felt utterly embarrassed. A grown man like him caught crying red-handed, and he couldn't even stop.

Tears kept pouring.

Grace Carter stared at him in a daze, then suddenly sighed, walked over, pulled Brian Carter into her arms, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice, "Xiaoduo... don't cry, you can definitely cultivate... I promise, no matter what it takes, I'll make sure you can cultivate..."

Brian Carter was in tears. "I'm not..."

"I understand!" Grace Carter hugged his head tightly, tears streaming down as well. "I've been trying to find a way, ah, don't cry..."

Brian Carter: ...

I'm really not crying... I just can't hold back the tears...

Grace Carter, don't hug me so tightly, I'm about to suffocate here...

Like a fountain, the tears kept pouring out. Brian Carter felt like all the water in his body was about to drain away. Just as Grace Carter started crying along with him, and Brian Carter was starting to feel a bit hopeless—

The tears miraculously stopped.

Brian Carter struggled a bit, broke free from Grace Carter's embrace, gasped for breath, looked up at Grace Carter, and felt a bit ashamed. "I really wasn't crying because I couldn't cultivate... huh?!"

As he spoke, he suddenly froze.

He felt his heart suddenly stop.

Just as his gaze landed on Grace Carter's face, a cool sensation suddenly shot up from his brow and rushed into his eyes.

Then, he saw a line of text suddenly float out from Grace Carter's face.

...

Grace Carter, female, nineteen years old, peak of the Embryonic Breath stage; in two and a half months, in the Star Martial Gold Crystal Chamber, her breakthrough to the Dan Yuan stage will be interrupted by a sneak attack, leading to qi deviation and death.

...

!!

Chapter Five: Grace Carter's Life-and-Death Calamity!

Brian Carter was stunned.

Grace Carter, will die?

The little sister who had cared for and protected him so meticulously since childhood... will die in two and a half months? Looking at the beautiful face in front of him, heartbroken for his sake, Brian Carter suddenly felt suffocated.

Why did this line of text appear before his eyes?

What is this?

Brian Carter suddenly asked urgently, "Sister Xiaonian, are you planning to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm in two and a half months? To reach the Dan Yuan stage?"

Grace Carter was sobbing, Brian Carter's tears made her heart ache so much it felt like it was being twisted, as if it might break. She was grieving, but suddenly heard this question, her heart skipped a beat, she looked up at Brian Carter with red eyes, and choked out, "How did you know?"

After asking, she came to her senses, wiped her tears, her expression turning serious, and asked again, "How did you know about two and a half months from now?" Suddenly, she fully realized, her beautiful eyes widening instantly.

Grace Carter was truly shocked.

Many people knew she was about to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm; after all, her cultivation was obvious, an undeniable fact.

But everyone only knew it would be soon, or at most within a month. And after a month, she would release false information to further confuse and mislead others.
