Chapter 1094: Chapter 1094: Setting Up a Stall at the Underground Market
As he spoke, Zhong Li pushed the grilled fish in front of him over to Jin Cenglv, "Eat this."
Because Zhong Li doesn’t eat spicy food, Luo Jingqiu and Zhong Li ordered separately.
The grilled fish was divided into two portions, one spicy and one non-spicy. Gu Zhiqi and the others all liked spicy food, so they ordered the spicy portion together.
Seeing Jin Cenglv about to eat spicy, Zhong Li directly stopped her.
Jin Cenglv looked up at Zhong Li but saw that he had already placed the non-spicy grilled fish in front of her.
Jin Cenglv stared at the grilled fish in front of her, falling silent.
For Mysterious Sect disciples, spitting blood from backlash due to fortune-telling is an everyday occurrence, and there’s never been a rule saying you can’t eat spicy food after spitting blood.
Jin Cenglv really couldn’t figure out Zhong Li’s move, so after a few seconds of silence, she looked up at Zhong Li and asked, "So what will you eat?"
Zhong Li glanced at her, then turned his gaze to Gu Zhiqi, "Miss Gu, can I join you?"
Gu Zhiqi nodded.
Then, Zhong Li swapped places with Luo Jingqiu, who was sitting opposite Jin Cenglv, and joined Gu Zhiqi and Lv Yao in eating a portion together.
Lv Yao looked at the grilled fish on the table, then at Zhong Li and Jin Cenglv. Wait, I also just spat blood, doesn’t anyone care if I can eat spicy food?
Indeed, no one cared.
Except for Jin Cenglv and Lv Yao, the others were already engrossed in their meal.
Jin Cenglv looked at the grilled fish in front of her and then at Zhong Li, who was sharing a portion with Gu Zhiqi, and fell silent.
She remembered that the school forum mentioned that Professor Zhong didn’t like spicy food.
But now he had given her the non-spicy grilled fish and was eating the same portion as her master. Could it be that he has feelings for her master?
However, her master was already being watched by Third Brother, so Professor Zhong probably doesn’t stand a chance.
Amidst her wild speculations, Jin Cenglv kept eating.

After finishing their meal, the group left the grilled fish shop together.
Before parting, they exchanged contact information, and Gu Zhiqi looked at Luo Jingqiu and said, "If you change your mind, feel free to reach out to me anytime."
Luo Jingqiu: "..."
Give up on that idea, there’s no way I’m reaching out to you.
After parting ways with Luo Jingqiu and Zhong Li, Gu Zhiqi took Jin Cenglv and Lv Yao to an underground market near Yan City University.
The so-called underground market was built below ground and connected to the nearby subway entrance, filled with a dazzling array of goods and many Mystic Masters setting up stalls for fortune-telling.
Gu Zhiqi walked up to a stall, chatted with one of the stall owners, and after transferring some money, rented the stall.
Then, she waved to Jin Cenglv and Lv Yao, "Come and sit down."
Not quite sure why, Jin Cenglv and Lv Yao dutifully sat down at the stall.
Gu Zhiqi: "From now until 8 PM, you two will sit here and do fortune-telling for people."
Lv Yao and Jin Cenglv: "..."
So, Lv Yao and Jin Cenglv sat down at the stall, while Gu Zhiqi pulled up a chair and sat beside them, typing away on her phone.
The people around found it amusing and intriguing to see three good-looking youths sitting at a fortune-telling stall.
The elder at the adjacent stall looked at the three and laughed mockingly, "Are you sure you’re mature enough to be doing fortune-telling for people?"
Jin Cenglv and Gu Zhiqi ignored him, while Lv Yao turned to glance at him but quickly looked away.
As the Chosen One, when being looked down upon, one should ignore them and then fiercely make them eat their words when they overstep.
He guessed that their clients would show up soon.
Seeing that the three ignored him, the elder snorted coldly and said no more.
They thought it would take hours to wait for a client, but unexpectedly, someone came up soon.
"Gu Zhiqi?"
