"I appreciate down-to-earth people." Cai Sisi took off her backpack, her adorable smile spreading across her face as she pulled her chair closer to the table.

"Master, I'd like to know when I'll meet my true love."

Chu Yuening studied Cai Sisi's birth chart and calculated, "Your childhood was rather challenging; your parents divorced when you were young, and you grew up with your grandparents."

"From the perspective of the siblings sector, it seems you have an older brother."

"Wow." Cai Sisi propped her cheeks with her hands, admiration shining in her eyes. "Master, you're incredible. You could tell about my family situation without me saying a word."

"These are quite straightforward calculations." Chu Yuening continued her divination by counting on her fingers.

"As for your romantic life..."

"Should your birth date encounter an inauspicious star, it suggests an unfaithful partner. You..." Chu Yuening looked up, halting her calculations to ask, "Could you remind me what you wanted to calculate again?"

"To find out about my true love," Cai Sisi replied with a sweet smile.

Chu Yuening found this odd. "Didn't you already have a boyfriend?"

Cai Sisi was taken aback, then she seemed a bit embarrassed. "But I don't think my current boyfriend is my true soulmate."

Chu Yuening shook her head. "Those who play with fire often get burned."

Some neighbors were confused. "What does that mean? You're still looking for your true soulmate even though you have a boyfriend?"

"Isn't that like looking for a better horse while riding a donkey?"

"But they're both unmarried, both have the right to look for a better match."

"Well, if they want to look, let them look. We've seen people juggling two relationships before, so what's one more?"

Cai Sisi understood that the master had seen through her, and her face flushed as her voice grew softer. "I... I'm just too afraid of being alone, so I want someone else to keep me company."

Until Chu Yuening sighed softly.

"So, would five be warmer?"

Chapter 52

Neighborhood: !!!!!!!

Five!!!

"Woah, this little sister is impressive! Five items? Even an octopus couldn't carry that much!"

"Cere, others usually only raise two fish at most."

"Raising five fish at once must be quite a task. But not for me, I'm still in my prime and not afraid of hard work. Let me share your burden!"

A matron called out loudly, "Five relationships, Miss Chai, how do you manage your schedule normally?"

"Yes, Miss Chai, please do share your wisdom with us!"

Chai Si Xue's face flushed red as she softly replied, "Actually, I just want to make sure who my true soulmate is. It's easier to distinguish when there are more options."

"One for each day of the week, from Monday to Sunday... It's not that difficult, really."

"I only enjoy their affection without pursuing anything further," Chu Yuening clarified.

The auntie nodded in understanding, "Oh, you're stringing them along."

There were still many voices of criticism in the neighborhood, gradually growing louder.

Zhai Sixue also lowered her head in shame.

Chu Yuening could see through Zhai Sixue's expression clearly.

It was evident that Zhai Sixue, having lacked love since childhood, now sought emotional compensation.

However...

With an astrological chart indicating promiscuity and vulnerability to self-destruction, Zhai Sixue could invite trouble by mishandling these five relationships.

"Miss Zhai, are you aware that all five of them actually know each other?" Chu Yuening asked.

"Know each other?" Zhai Sixue was puzzled, "That can't be, they don't attend the same school."

"Judging from the bonds on your fate line, they're actually related. A and B, C and D are biological siblings, while F is a cousin," Chu Yuening explained.

Zhaisi Xue was stunned, her mouth agape. It took her a moment to gather herself before she stammered, "But they've never mentioned this connection..."

"Of course not. They've already realized that you've been playing them," Chu Yuening replied.

"After discovering the truth, they decided to play a bigger game with you. The five of them made a bet on who could win your heart and then discard you in the end."

Pointing at Zhaisi Xue's forehead, Chu Yuening continued, "Your philtrum is tinged with dark energy, indicating that misfortune is imminent."

"After being dumped, your reputation at school will plummet, leading to your eventual dropout. Then, you'll devise a plan to retaliate against all five of them."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhaisi Xue asked, "Is my true love among them?"

"No," Chu Yuening replied, counting on her fingers. "Your destined partner isn't one of the five. However, he has long been waiting by your side. No matter how much trouble you cause, he'd be willing to help you clean up the mess and accept all your flaws."

"There should be someone like that in your life, you know."

Zhaisi Xue's expression revealed a mix of realization and bewilderment. Noticing her reaction, Chu Yuening assumed that Zhaisi Xue had figured out who her true soulmate was.

Finally.

Zhaisi Xue rose, slung her backpack over her shoulders, and paid the fortune-telling fee. "Many thanks, Master. I now know how to proceed."

"I'll be honest with the five people when I return."

"Very well." Chu Yuening observed Zhaisi Xue once more, noticing a change in her countenance. Though her birth chart remained the same, she would now be able to safeguard her heart from external distractions. The negative influence of the licentiousness in her Day Pillar had been significantly diminished.

Having completed two readings, Chu Yuening was about to pack up when she noticed someone at the front of the queue waving. Squinting, she recognized Li Huiwen.

"Master Chu."

Li Huiwen approached, accompanied by an elegant lady, both beaming. "We've been queuing for quite some time. Could you possibly spare another reading?"

The lady wore a light pink shoulder-padded suit dress and a lustrous pearl necklace around her neck. Her skin was well-maintained, but a frown line on her forehead revealed a profound weariness.

Chu Yuening recalled their previous encounter and Li Huiwen's mention of the female entrepreneur from Shenzhen.

"She's the businesswoman from Shenzhen you mentioned earlier, right?"
