Chapter 297 Don’t Even Try To Think About It
After a while, a Ethan and Simone walked, a distance naturally formed between them.
Andrew approached Ethan and whispered. “Can you sell me that snuff bottle of yours? I’ll pay double the price.”
Whether he used it or gave it to Jo later, having that thing would have weakened his bad luck, so he was willing to spend a lot of money on it.
Ethan was speechless. He was indifferent toward Andrew as he replied, “I’m not selling.
He couldn’t be bothered with someone who treated Simone poorly. Andrew deserved his bad. luck, and he shouldn’t think about using these good things to weaken it.
Andrew frowned. “Then, name your price.”
Ethan frowned as well. “No matter how much money you offer, I won’t sell.
He bought it to give it to his father as a protective gift, so he spent all his savings on it. Simone said it was good always to wear it, so there was no way he would sell it to anyone, especially not to him, who treated Simone poorly.
He added seriously, “I would rather throw it away than sell it to you.”
Andrew was speechless. Who have I provoked with this? People who have a good relationship with Simone are all targeting and opposing me. I haven’t done anything to her!
He pouted. “If you don’t want to sell, then don’t sell.”
Although regretful, he couldn’t do anything about it.
Meanwhile, Simone found a sapphire ring with auspicious energy and a set of knife coins with a strong aura of evil.
Those could be used in conjunction with the seal to achieve better results.
Everyone who had a good relationship with Simone found something beneficial.
Andrew suggested to Aaron, “Why don’t you let her help you find something, too? Or ask her to sell you that sapphire ring.”
If Aaron could also find something good like Ethan, he could borrow it to use. Or he could buy it directly from Simone.
Aaron replied, “I am much more self-aware than you.”
O
Simone definitely wouldn’t help him find something or sell it to him. He knew he couldn’t even think about it.
“Andrew, if you want to find something or if you want that ring from Simone, do it on your own. Don’t think of using me as a stepping stone.”
After being siblings for so many years, he could easily see through Andrew’s subtle. intentions. It seems that spending time with Jodie influences him to enjoy playing such tricks.
Andrew rolled his eyes. “She doesn’t even pay attention to you, let alone me.”
Aaron was annoyed and suggested, “Why don’t you ask Master Shawn for help?”
Andrew’s mind turned. “That’s actually a good idea.”
So, he approached Bailey.
“Master Shawn, could you please help us as well?”
Bailey looked at him coldly. “Are we acquainted?” In other words, he meant that they were not even familiar, so Andrew shouldn’t ask for his help.
Andrew choked. Why are they all so arrogant?
Upon feeling embarrassed, he said, “Of course, I won’t let you do it for free. As long as I can find something that weakens bad luck, I will reward you,”
Bailey raised an eyebrow. “Do I look like someone who needs that reward?”
He decisively refused, “I won’t do it, don’t ask me.”
Andrew felt quite aggrieved, but he dared not provoke geomancy masters like Bailey and was frustrated. “Okay, then I won’t buy it.”
After Bailey walked ahead, Aaron approached Andrew.
“Andrew, have you noticed something?” Aaron asked.
Andrew was puzzled. “What’s the problem?”
Aaron replied, “Your popularity is really poor. If you continue like this, no one will pay attention to you.”
Andrew was speechless. “What did I do?”
Aaron said, “Reflect on yourself.”

Andrew was confused. What should I reflect on? I don’t believe I did anything wrong. It’s these individuals who can’t get along, even though we’re all guests on the same variety show. They’re playing a game of isolation.
The group walked to the end of the street without finding anything that brought good luck.
Simone stood by the wall at the end of the street, observing several ancient paintings. hanging on the wall.
The person in charge of the stall at the end of the street was an old man with gray hair.
He saw Simone engrossed in the paintings and smiled. “What do you think of these paintings?”
Simone snapped out of her thoughts. “They are very well painted, with excellent technique and a sense of charm.”
He smiled and said, “That’s right, these paintings were done by Master Shawn.”
She was surprised. “Master Shawn painted these?”
He nodded. He replied with a tone of reverence, “Yes, these paintings by Master Shawn have the potential to be appreciated and understood by geomancy masters, which can enhance their abilities.”
Simone approached and carefully examined the paintings.
After a moment, she looked at the old man and said, “These paintings seem to be quite old.”
The old man was momentarily stunned before smiling and saying. “These are all early works. by Master Shawn. I heard that these paintings were preserved from hundreds of years ago, so they naturally have a sense of age.”
Simone nodded. “I see; that’s the reason
She said again. “If it weren’t for what you said, I would have thought these paintings were at least a hundred years old.”
The old man smiled. “It’s the paper that has the age. It’s normal for you to be mistaken, young girl”
Simone also smiled. “That makes sense.”
Her gaze fell on a painting of an ancient city in the mountains and gradually entered a
mysterious state.
As if she were standing in the clouds, overlooking the mortals below, with a sense of pride

and loneliness.
Suddenly, a clear voice came into her ears. “Are you looking at my painting?”
Simone snapped back to reality and turned her head to look at Bailey, “Yes, your painting skills are amazing. They made me feel immersed.”
The bottleneck between the innate and the unity of heaven and man had loosened after she finished looking at this painting.
As long as there was another opportunity, she would be able to reach the highest level of a geomancy master, so she was also amazed by Bailey’s strength.
This time, she was certain in her heart that he had definitely reached the Divine State.
He might be just one step away from achieving the complete Divine State.
The Divine State consists of three stages-the initial stage, the intermediate stage, and complete unity.
With each stage accomplished, not only would one’s strength increase dramatically, but their lifespan would also be greatly extended.
After achieving complete unity, there was even a belief that one could live forever.
However, Simone had experienced a mini timeline with the backdrop of geomancy mystical arts for the entire nation.
She knew that living forever after achieving complete unity was an exaggeration, but with proper maintenance, living for a few hundred years was entirely possible.
In fact, once one achieved the Divine State, as long as they had avoided injuries and backlash. from the heavenly path, living for three hundred years would be easy.
Simone smiled and asked, “Bailey, with your strength, have you surpassed our master?”
Bailey returned her smile. “I haven’t sparred with him, so it’s hard to say.”
Simone understood that he was avoiding her question and didn’t press further. She grinned. “Bailey, let’s spar in the future. Please teach me more.”
Bailey nodded and said, “No problem.”
He then asked, “Do you still want to take a stroll?”
Simone replied, “No, let’s not.”

Bailey smiled and suggested, “How about taking another look? Maybe there will be more surprises.
However, Simone shook her head and said, “No. Today’s gains are enough. One shouldn’t be 100 greedy.”
That set of knife coins was something she couldn’t resist; she particularly liked it.
Moreover, she stumbled upon a lucky ring and felt that the gains from today’s night market were already sufficient.
As for any more surprises, she didn’t want them.
Perhaps they would be something frightening.
