Vera was silent momentarily, then spoke up and said, “Let me draw up a divination for you then. My level of divination is still much better than that of Oskian medication.”
After saying that, she took nine copper coins from her pocket without waiting for the old man’s response.
She then placed the nine copper coins on the coffee table before her. As before, she divided the copper coins into three rows and grabbed the first three coins in a diagonal manner before she threw them on the table.
Immediately afterward, she looked at the hexagram of the copper coins, then frowned and said, “The hexagram shows that your life expectancy is coming to an end, and you only have half a year left at most.”
“Half a year?” The old man’s expression froze and was rooted to the spot as if a spell had been cast on him.
However, he quickly returned to his sense and smiled wryly. “Although it’s a little shorter than I expected, it’s fine. Half a year is enough time for me to settle my affairs and make arrangements for my funeral…”
Vera did not speak. She continued to pick up the three copper coins on the bottom left and threw them on the coffee table again.
This time, she raised her brows lightly and said, “But there is a silver lining to the current hexagram. If you seize this opportunity, you can live to a hundred years old.”
“A hundred years old?!” The old man’s eyes widened for a moment, and he blurted out, “Is… Is that possible? There are at least twelve more years left if I want to live to a hundred years old…”
