Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 309 I Am a Genius in This Regard
"Crazy!" Liu Chengxiang gave a one-word appraisal before bursting into laughter, saying, "But I like it, your temperament is very much to my liking."
Li Xiaoyao curled his lip, thinking I really don’t want to suit your taste.
"You just said a lot of people want to kill me? Do they think they are even more formidable than Yang Tianren?" This puzzled Li Xiaoyao.
Liu Chengxiang shook his head slightly, took a sip of his drink, and said, "A common man is not guilty; he incurs guilt by possessing a jade. Have you heard this saying before?"
Rolling his eyes, Li Xiaoyao said, "I’m not illiterate."
Liu Chengxiang stared at him and said, "Yang Tianren was an alchemist, you killed him and took his storage ring. Now tell me, wouldn’t many people want Yang Tianren’s storage ring?"
So that was it.
"They might want it, but they need the strength to get it. Otherwise, trying to take it from me is just a death wish." Li Xiaoyao sneered, not believing there were so many foolish assholes in this world.
Shaking his head, Liu Chengxiang said, "Your strength is not recognized by them."

"What do you mean?"
"In other words, only a few cultivators saw you summon lightning with a slash to kill Yang Tianren today. ’Seeing is believing, hearing is uncertain.’ Do you think outsiders will believe their words?"
"A twenty-something-year-old man has cultivated to the point where he can kill Yang Tianren in one move. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, who would believe it?" Liu Chengxiang looked at him and asked, "Do you understand what I mean now?"
Frowning, Li Xiaoyao said, "Hmph, if one comes, I’ll kill one. If two come, I’ll kill a pair. If they harbor greed, they should be prepared to die."
"Enough, enough." Liu Chengxiang pushed away the wine pot on the table and took out a bamboo tube from his storage ring, saying, "If you really encounter trouble you can’t solve, just use the Xuan Sect’s name. If those people don’t want to die, they will probably not trouble you."
"That day won’t come." Li Xiaoyao was confident in himself. With the Mysterious System, he didn’t care about the entire world.
Liu Chengxiang held both ends of the bamboo tube, lifted it over his head, and gently shook it a few times, murmuring to himself, looking very much like an old charlatan.
"What are you doing?" Li Xiaoyao asked with a puzzled face.
Liu Chengxiang ignored him and, after a few shakes, opened one end of the bamboo tube, letting three copper coins pour out onto the stone table.
Seeing his serious expression, Li Xiaoyao didn’t speak to interrupt and just watched quietly.
After a long while, Liu Chengxiang nodded satisfactorily, put the copper coins back into the bamboo tube, and stowed it away.
"Are you fortune-telling?"
Liu Chengxiang glanced at him and said irritably, "This is divination."
"It’s all the same, all the same." Li Xiaoyao became interested and asked, "Whose fortune are you telling?"
Liu Chengxiang nearly exploded with irritation: "This is divination!"
"Alright, alright, you say it’s divination, so it’s divination. Tell me, whose fortune are you divining?"
Liu Chengxiang sighed, let it go, let it go—arguing about these things with him was truly pointless.
Taking out writing brush and ink from his storage ring, Liu Chengxiang dipped the brush in ink, looked at Li Xiaoyao, and said, "Turn around."
"All secretive, I don’t even want to look." Li Xiaoyao turned around with disdain, lit a cigarette.
Li Xiaoyao thought, if you don’t let me look, that’s exactly what I’ll do.
Sneaking a glance was, for Li Xiaoyao, the easiest thing in the world.
With telepathy, Li Xiaoyao could stealthily observe anything in the world.

"Thrilling yet safe, great prospects lie ahead. Accompany Li on the journey, it will be smooth."
After writing these sixteen characters and drying them, he rolled up the paper and tucked it into a sachet.
Liu Chengxiang said, "Done."
Turning his head back, Li Xiaoyao stared at the sachet in his hand and said, "Who is this for?"
Liu Chengxiang glanced at him and asked, "Has Lichun taught you divination and physiognomy?"
"I’ve learned a bit."
"Then try to figure out who this is for," Liu Chengxiang asked casually. He certainly didn’t think Li Xiaoyao could really divine the answer, after all, not one of Xuan Sect’s five veins was easy to master and combine.
But when Li Xiaoyao heard this, he actually pretended to count on his fingers, and after a few seconds, he feigned a look of realization and said, "It’s for Old Jiang."
"Eh?" This time, it was Liu Chengxiang’s turn to be surprised as he asked, "Are you guessing? Or did you really calculate it?"
Li Xiaoyao said dismissively, "Do I really need to guess for such a trivial matter?"
"Then go on, calculate what I have written inside," Liu Chengxiang challenged.
"That’s not difficult."
Liu Chengxiang snorted, "Boasting shamelessly."
"Hey, old fellow, those are the words I don’t like to hear," Li Xiaoyao retorted, rolling up his sleeve. "What do you mean by ’boasting shamelessly’? If I figure it out, what will you say then?"
"If you really can work it out, I will promise you one thing," Liu Chengxiang replied, not taking the matter seriously. In his view, there was absolutely no way Li Xiaoyao could do it.
Li Xiaoyao’s eyes lit up and he said, "Good, that’s what you said. You promise me one thing and don’t you start making excuses when I come asking for a favor."
"If you can’t figure it out, you have to promise me one thing too," Li Xiaoyao had his plans, as did Liu Chengxiang.
"A gentleman’s word!"
"A spur to a fast horse!"
Li Xiaoyao closed his eyes and started counting on his fingers, looking every bit the charlatan.
Watching his expression, Liu Chengxiang couldn’t help but want to laugh; the boy really thought he could do it.
There’s a saying: ’Do not divine for oneself, nor for one’s peers.’
It meant that a person who practiced this art shouldn’t try to divine outcomes for their peers; it was common sense.
Yet Li Xiaoyao didn’t even know this bit of common sense, so how could he possibly divine what Liu Chengxiang had written?
"The paper has sixteen characters," Li Xiaoyao stated blandly.
Liu Chengxiang looked at him slightly astonished.
After a few more seconds, Li Xiaoyao continued, "Filled with surprises but no dangers, great potential awaits. Accompany Li on the journey, a safe passage to assure."
This time, Liu Chengxiang was genuinely shocked.
"Am I correct?" Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes and asked.
"You really calculated it?" Liu Chengxiang was still skeptical, looking at him doubtfully.
"Of course," Li Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow and said, "You don’t believe me? Then let me calculate something about you to make you thoroughly convinced."
Liu Chengxiang had no idea what he meant, but he saw him close his eyes and start counting, saying, "You’ve got a mole on the left side of your buttocks, a scar on your abdomen, and you’re wearing black briefs with blue stripes—oh, and the package, excessively long..."
"Shut your mouth!" Liu Chengxiang’s mouth twitched in shock and anger as he glared at Li Xiaoyao.
How on earth did the boy do it? Could he really figure it out?
But even he could not possibly calculate with such precision.
"Lichun taught you physiognomy as well?" It was the only explanation Liu Chengxiang could come up with, otherwise, there was no way to explain how Li Xiaoyao could have figured out so much.
Li Xiaoyao boasted unabashedly, "Hmm, he said I’m a genius when it comes to these things."
