"I certainly know the saying 'heavenly secrets cannot be divulged,' but you, what do you really mean?" Ye Tianfan said with a smile.

"Young man, don't be anxious. Heavenly secrets can't be revealed, but they can be talked about in other ways. Let me slowly explain it to you." the old man chuckled.

"Alright, say what you want, whichever way you prefer." Ye Tianfan indicated casually, suggesting that if the old man could trick money out of him, he'd consider it a win.

The old man smiled and said, "Why don't you put out your hand again for me to see?"

Ye Tianfan stretched his hand over directly. The old man grabbed it and after just a glance, he clicked his tongue and said, "Indeed, my sight wasn't wrong, young man, you're in big trouble."

Ye Tianfan was getting a bit impatient at this point. Just saying he was in big trouble, couldn't he change the wording? Was it fun to keep cursing him?

"How so?" Yet, Ye Tianfan still followed the old man's script and asked.

The old man didn't say much, he just traced a line on Ye Tianfan's palm with his finger and said, "This is the lifeline. Your lifeline is different from ordinary people. Look here, there's a small line blocking the middle, which indicates a disaster. And when you calculate the length of this short line on the long line, and add to the fact that your forehead is dark, it shows that this disaster will happen soon."

"Oh, oh! What should I do then? So scary! There's a disaster!" Ye Tianfan said expressionlessly as if he was very afraid.

The old man felt Ye Tianfan's tone was a bit off, but he didn't care much now. Because according to his script, next, Ye Tianfan would ask him to avert the disaster, then he could do whatever he wanted.

The old man pretended to sigh and then said, "Of course, although this is a disaster that can affect your life, it's not impossible to overcome."

After saying that, the old man stroked his beard and remained silent, making himself appear more like a worldly expert.

"Really? Then I'll just accept my fate!" Ye Tianfan decided not to follow the old man's script and mischievously said.

The old man was stunned all of a sudden. Hey? What's going on? Wasn't he supposed to beg him to remove the disaster next? Why was he accepting fate?

"Young man, you're still young! Don't you want to continue living? Live in this beautiful, blossoming world?" The old man urged.

"No, since heaven has given me this disaster, why should I resist? I accept my fate!" Ye Tianfan said as if he was resigning to fate.

The old man hurriedly coughed when he heard this and then signaled Ye Tianfan to look at his signboard.

"Who's best at reversing fate? Find Immortal Change in Wind and Sand Town!" Ye Tianfan read the signboard out loud, then pointed at the signboard and then at the old man, saying, "You? Reverse fate?"

The old man nodded proudly after hearing this.

"Your name is Immortal Change?" Ye Tianfan continued.

"I never change my name no matter where I go, indeed I am Immortal Change." The old man stated proudly.

"So, you can change this disaster for me?" Ye Tianfan said with a smile, as if finding a new lease on life.

"Yes, of course, I can change it." The old man said, stroking his beard.

"Alright then, go ahead and change it for me!" Ye Tianfan said casually.

"Young man, you need to know that changing destiny is not that easy. Even though I look old, I'm only in my forties. The reason my hair is graying is precisely that every time I change fate, it consumes my lifespan, you understand?" After the old man finished, he acted as if he didn't have many years left.

But before Ye Tianfan could speak, the old man continued boldly, "However, it doesn't matter, for the sake of saving humanity, I'm willing to lose lifespan even if it's to save just one person. I'm such a compassionate person!"

"Uh! Then go ahead and change it for me!" Ye Tianfan understood the old man just wanted to make himself appear pitiful to demand more money.

The old man smiled slightly, knowing that Ye Tianfan was hooked, then coughed twice and said, "Well, well..."

Ye Tianfan said, "What's wrong, are you coming down with a cold, sir?"

The old man chuckled and said, "No, no, I'm very robust, can't possibly catch a cold. It's just that although I can change fate, it requires not only lifespan but also something external."

"External objects? What's that?" Ye Tianfan feigned ignorance.

"Cough, cough! Just some money, so I can use the money to bribe fate. When fate changes for you, it consumes lifespan. But I'm willing to pay the lifespan cost for you, after all, you have so much time to live, while I don't have many years left. Let me do a few more good deeds before I'm gone!"

"Oh, it requires money! How much then?" Ye Tianfan said with a smile, realizing the old man was reeling in the catch, so he cooperated.

The old man smiled at him and said, "I'm a frequent visitor to the River of Destiny, so it doesn't require much, just ten taels of gold or fifty taels of silver."

This was a typical trick used by the old man, mentioning an amount that ordinary people couldn't possibly afford first, then giving a barely bearable amount. This way, he'd get fifty taels of silver.

"Oh, there's an old saying, sincerity works wonders, how about I give you a hundred taels of gold, how's that?" Ye Tianfan proposed.

"One hundred taels? Of gold?" The old man was stunned upon hearing this. Was there still such a fool around willing to offer more money?

"You're... you're joking, right?" The old man couldn't believe it and said.

"Oh? Wasn't it you who started kidding?" Ye Tianfan laughingly replied.

"Young man, what do you mean by this? Mocking me?" The old man squinted slightly, then the two robust fruit sellers beside the old man surrounded him.

Seeing the two strong men surrounding him, the old man smugly smiled and said, "Young man, you should know that giving you a disaster reading already consumed some lifespan. Today, you either pay up, or you won't leave."

Ye Tianfan noticed that help had arrived, chuckled, then took out a large gold ingot from his bosom, actually pulled from the Xuanhuang Tower, and said to the old man, "I have money, but what if I don't want to give it to you?"

Upon seeing the gold ingot Ye Tianfan took out, the old man's eyes didn't stray, and greedily he said, "Don't want to give? Humph, well, if you have money, we can talk!"

The old man stopped talking to Ye Tianfan, turned around to the two strong men and said, "Didn't expect to catch a rich kid, he must have more money on him. Beat him up, toss him in the recycle bin, and take all his money from him, give him a lesson."

"Yes!" The two strong men said to the old man and then moved towards Ye Tianfan.
