Private Adviser of the Nonpareil

Chapter 8

"Ah...!" On the other side, the child was not angry. Instead, he looked at the back of Liu Yun with a panicked expression. He shouted and ran towards the side of the road.

At the same time, a deafening horse neigh came from behind him. Liu Yun subconsciously turned around. Before he could see what was happening, he felt his vision go black as a horse ran past him.

"Ah..." A heart-wrenching scream broke the ruckus in the market, and then Liu Yun fell to the ground with a thud. There was a severe pain in the back of his waist, as if it was broken.

The carriage knocked into someone and the commoners in the market quickly gathered around. It was their hobby to join in the fun, but what they cared about was not Liu Yun's life and death, but the owner of the carriage.

This carriage was somewhat different from ordinary carriages. The spacious sedan chair could accommodate three people. The top of the sedan chair was a golden, squared canopy with many patterns of rare herbs on it. The four sides of the sedan chair were carved with redwood hollows, and the empty space was covered with a thin layer of gauze, making it hard to see the master's true appearance.

There were many soldiers arranged around the carriage, and behind the carriage was a man-made imperial sedan chair. Upon seeing the carriage stop in front of them, a middle-aged man in his 40s and 50s walked out.

This person had a wide nose and a broad ears. He was more than two meters tall and looked like a big bear. His eyes were bright and sharp, and his temples were bulging. He seemed to be a martial arts practitioner.

The burly man strode to the front of the horse carriage and squeezed his way through the crowd. He looked around and was shocked. His face was full of suspicion. "You, you're Liu Guang's son, my nephew?"

Hearing this loud and clear voice, Liu Yun squinted at the burly man in front of him, gritted his teeth, and sat up. He panted heavily and said weakly, "My name is Liu Yun, and my father is Liu Guang. Who are you?"

"Sigh, no wonder you don't recognize me. I was very close to your father back then. I once hugged you when you were born." The burly man hurriedly helped Liu Yun to his feet. As he examined his injuries, he spoke gently.

"Oh? Really? Maybe I'm too young and have no impression. Since you're one of us, I won't force you." Liu Yun patted his butt casually. He didn't look like injured at all.

Somehow, when he heard Liu Yun say the word "one of us", the big man's eyes flickered slightly, and his face seemed to be a bit stiff. After thinking for a long time, he made up his mind and said,

"I've heard the news about the death of your father. You're such a talented man. I came back from the capital city with two things to do. The first thing is to pay respects to my dead elder brother, who is also your father. The other thing, in fact, is for your marriage with Xue'er."

"What? Marriage? My marriage?" Liu Yun widened his eyes and asked in surprise.

"Yes, your father and I made an agreement that if both of our children were men, we would make them brothers, and a man and a woman, we would make them husband and wife." The big man thought for a while and said seriously.

"A baby's marriage? But I haven't grown well yet. You came so suddenly. How about a few years later?" Liu Yun said helplessly. He was still a fifteen-year-old child, and Dingding had not yet reached the peak. How could he marry at will?

"Er... Good Nephew, you have some misunderstanding. Actually...how should I say it, erm...this matter..." The big man suddenly blushed, his eyes flickered, and he spoke haltingly.

"Let me talk!" Just as the big man was in a dilemma, a girl came down from the carriage. She was about 14 or 15 years old, wearing a veil-like purple dress. Except for her black hair, her whole body was snow-white, and her face was beautiful and graceful, but there was a trace of blood on her skin.

She had a slim waist and slender waist. Her wrist was wrapped in a fine gauze, and her eyes were clear and bright. Although she was young, she had a noble temperament that made people look up to her. She walked slowly towards Liu Yun with light steps.

With a blank expression, he raised his eyes and looked at Liu Yun indifferently. He lightly opened his red lips and said without any expression, "I am the person who is betrothed to you. Our main purpose of this trip is to find you and cancel this engagement."

The girl paused and glanced at Liu Yun with her cold eyes, as if she wanted to see his expression.

"Oh? Although I don't really care, I still want to know the reason." Originally, Liu Yun did not care about this, but he was broken off by a woman in front of so many people. Not to mention in ancient times, but in modern open society, it was also a great shame for men.

The girl looked at him with surprise, and then said, "First of all, this marriage is said that you and your father are drunk, so you don't have to take it seriously. Secondly, I already have someone I like, and that is the present Third Prince.

"Since I was a child, I have vowed to my future husband, 'You must be able to stabilize the world with civil words, and you must be able to immediately set the heavens and earth with martial arts. Except for one person, you are above 10,000 people, and this person is the present Third Prince. So I hope you can understand. To apologize to you, we will give you a thousand taels of silver as compensation." The girl whispered with a poker face.

"That's really not appropriate. At best, I can control a loli with my pen, and I can't make a wife in bed. But it doesn't matter. If you can't be a lover, you can also make friends. You are quite rich, and I like to make friends with rich people the most."

"If you have nothing to do, we can make an appointment. We can drink tea, eat and talk about the origins of mankind." Liu Yun's eyes were shining as he looked at the jewelry on the girl's body, and he spoke shamelessly.

When the young girl heard this, she frowned. She never thought that her fiancé was such a shameless hooligan. She also felt very lucky that she did not marry him.

"Please have some self-respect. You and I have nothing to do with each other. I also hope that you don't continue pestering me. A toad will never be able to eat a swan. I hope you can understand the difference between us." The young lady raised her head and spoke with great disdain.

"Grandpa Mao said that excessive modesty is an act of comparison, excessive exaggeration is an idiotic comparison. You're on par with me. Also, you have nothing to do with me. You'll follow whoever you want to follow." Liu Yun glanced at the commoners who were pointing fingers at him and said in a lukewarm tone.

The young girl frowned when she heard that. She said softly, "I think you've misunderstood. We're not here to ask for your forgiveness. We're just here out of courtesy to tell you..." She sized up Liu Yun as she spoke, her tone full of contempt.

"Well, you won. Although I don't know where you got the sense of superiority from, I don't intend to waste my time on you, because I have to make money to eat quickly. See you again if fate allows!" Liu Yun took a look at the embarrassed man, carrying the heavy bag, and turned away without looking back.

"Xue'er, this..." The burly man's face was red. He looked at Liu Yun with a guilty expression and hesitated to speak.

"Let's go! It's more important to attend to our business. We don't have to waste time on someone like him." The girl turned around and got on the carriage.

Just as the carriage was about to leave, a weak but exceptionally determined voice came from behind. "I'm sure I'll make you pay for what you've done today. I'll catch up with you and fool you. Then I'll throw you away."

Upon hearing this, the girl in the carriage frowned slightly. She unconsciously moved her fingers harder and removed a few petals from her hands. A burst of pungent flower fragrance filled the whole carriage.

"Heh heh, this kid is really miserable. His wife had run away with someone else, yet she didn't even dare to say a word and was humiliated by this woman. What a coward."

"Yes, yes. But is he a native? I have lived here for decades. Why haven't I seen him?"

"Well, you can't say that. How can such a beautiful woman be willing to marry such a poor scholar? People must be higher."

###Chapter10,Hooligans Knows How to divine, Not even God Cannot stop them

Hearing the mockery and sympathy around him, Liu Yun lowered his head and remained silent. Deep down, he was feeling very upset. On Earth, his girlfriend had betrayed him and slept with someone else.

He didn't expect that after time-traveling, he didn't know anything and got cheated again. What's more, he was humiliated by a woman in front of so many people. The man from 21st century couldn't stand it anymore.

Carrying a heavy bag, he squeezed through the crowd with difficulty. He lowered his head and walked forward step by step.

Liu Yun didn't know how long he had walked, but he had already left the crowd far behind. He stopped tiredly, raised his head and looked forward.

There were fewer people here, and the shops on both sides were particularly large and luxurious. The people coming and going were also wearing good silk and jewelry.

Liu Yun looked at the two sides of the road, but there were not many vendors. However, an inconspicuous alley caught Liu Yun's attention. There were divinatory stalls all around the alley. They were all wearing gray robes, holding horsetail whisks in their hands and shaking their heads. They looked like immortals. Beside them stood a small flag, which read,'The divinatory symbol of Heaven and Earth'.

"Eh? Strange, it's quite remote there. There aren't many people coming and going, but why are they all piled up there to set up divinatory pavilions? And there is only one person between each table, which is very dense."

There must be something fishy. So many people gathered together to tell fortune, which must be very meaningful.

She walked over quickly and found a seat next to a divinatory stall. She put down her backpack with great effort and spread out the cloth shop. The books inside were arranged one by one.

"Hey, old man, do you have any wood planks and writing brushes? I want to write an advertisement." Liu Yun turned to the fortune-teller and asked after he was ready.

"No!" The old man narrowed his triangular eyes and glared at Liu Yun. His tone was impatient.

Touching the dust in his nose, Liu Yun let out two hollow laughs and stole a glance at the old man. His eyes were slightly shut, and no one knew if he was sleeping or meditating.

Liu Yun held his breath and seized the opportunity. He quickly stole the brush from the old man's table and came to his stall.

He looked around and saw that there was not a single wooden board, plate, or any other item. Liu Yun had no choice but to write groggyly on the ground, "Dear guests of clear and bright. All the poems and books in the venue are sold at half a price. I'll give you three of them. The number is limited, so I'll give you until you're done."
