Chun Xia said, "Truly skilled fortune-tellers never promote themselves; customers must seek them out on their own initiative."
Manman shook her head, not sure what spell she had been under, probably before coming she had heard many people say that Yonghe Palace was very effective, maybe it was just her imagination.
Next to them sat an elderly monk with a shaved head, half-grey eyebrows, wearing a monk's grey robe, with a conical hat sitting at his feet, looking very much the part.
As Manman was about to pull out a tissue to wipe her face, she dropped something, turned around to pick it up, and came face to face with the monk.
The monk, with a glance, became interested in the half-exposed Immortal Peach Jade Pendant inside her blouse when she bent over and said, "Benefactor, may I take a look at your jade pendant?"
