Simone explained as she walked, “Most of the items here are cursed. If you buy them and bring them home, you might experience bad luck, or worse, get sick or even die. So, it’s not suitable.”
She noticed that almost all the antiques sold at each stall were cursed.
It seemed like most of these items were unearthed from graves.
Of course, not all of them necessarily came from tombs. There were also those intentionally placed in cursed pits to cultivate them.
Cursed objects were a disaster for ordinary people. But they were useful for many
geomancers.
Aside from using these objects to harm others, geomancers needed to use curses in their battles as well.
The strong curses came from these objects. Otherwise, the curses formed around them could be easily manipulated.
It was fine for some minor tricks, but it was not enough for battles.
Upon hearing Simone’s words, everyone who had originally wanted to buy something immediately dismissed the idea.
Keira asked, “If we buy these things, will they be useful to us?”
Simone nodded. “Yes, they are useful to us.”
Keira pondered and asked, “But what if someone buys them to harm others?” If someone buys them and gives them to someone they dislike or an enemy, it would be easy to harm others.
Bailey, who was walking in front of the group, turned around and said, “Buying cursed. antiques here will be recorded, and the Geomancer Association will regulate it. If someone uses cursed objects bought here to harm others, a special department will come knocking on their door.”
That was why the night market could operate legally.
He paused for a moment. That’s also why no familiar geomaster is allowed to bring them in. Ordinary people not only can’t find this place, but they also can’t enter.”
Just like now, the audience who had originally planned to follow and live stream the night market with the group. They had been following since they left the inn. But after a few turns,

they lost track. They could only return disappointed and let the people waiting for the live stream disperse.
Keira and the others nodded. “So that’s why we haven’t heard of this night market.”
Keira’s father was a lover of antiques as well.
She had originally wanted to find a few items to bring back and please her father. She said. with some regret, “So we can only look around then?”
Simone smiled and said, “If you want to buy something, you can choose based on your intuition. After you’ve chosen, I can help you see if there’s any curse on it. If you’re lucky, you might find something that brings good luck. Something that can protect you and your family.”
Although there were few things in the night market that brought good luck, there was still hope of finding something valuable.
For geomancers, it was all about their keen eyesight.
For ordinary people like Keira and her friends, it all depended on luck and opportunity.
When Simone said this, Keira and her friends’ eyes lit up. “Simone is the best.”
So, everyone enthusiastically started looking at each stall.
Bailey glanced at Simone, seemingly surprised that she would be so kind to these ordinary people. If it were him, he wouldn’t bother doing such things. Friends or acquaintances were like passing clouds to him, not lasting. So, it was better not to make any connections.
The group went from stall to stall, each finding something they liked.
They found several items that would be highly valued by antique collectors and worth a lot of
money if placed outside the night market.
Some even couldn’t be bought with money outside the night market.
But all of them emitted negative energy, and some items had particularly strong negative
vibes.
If bought and taken home, they could become dangerous weapons.
The Geomancy Association had rules and regulations, both outside the night market and inside.
Dangerous items were not allowed to be sold ro ordinary people, and even geomancers with low abilities were restricted from purchasing them, as it would lead to a dead end for them
Chapter 296 You’re Overthinking
On the other hand, ordinary items with negative energy were not a major concern.
Though they could impact people, the effects were limited and wouldn’t cause significant harm.
Ethan had good luck and found a snuff bottle in one stall.
Simone checked it for him and confirmed that it was an auspicious item, so she insisted he buy it if he could.
Upon trusting Simone, Ethan used up all his savings to purchase the snuff bottle.
After leaving the stall and walking a distance. Simone smiled and said, “You got a great deal with this thing at that price. The seller overlooked it, and you managed to get it at the price of an antique. This item has a layer of negative energy outside, but the seller didn’t realize the auspicious energy hidden inside, so they sold it at the price of an antique.”
When Ethan first saw the snuff bottle, he had a strong liking for it.
As he played with it, he paused upon hearing Simone’s words. “Are you saying there’s negative energy inside this thing? Will it affect me? Or is it because of the auspicious energy that it can neutralize?”
Simone replied, “The negative energy is not significant, so it won’t have a big impact on you. At most, you might have a few unlucky days or a minor illness. I’ll give you a talisman later. Wrap the snuff bottle
with it and leave it for three days, and the negative energy inside will be removed. After removing the negative energy, you can wear it anytime, and it will bring you many benefits.”
She pointed at Andrew and said, “Just like him, who had a streak of bad luck before. If he had worn something similar to this auspicious item, the streak of bad luck could have weakened by about thirty to fifty percent. And unlike his mystical tool, yours won’t rebound.”
The mystical tool that Sc”mbag No. 4 wore was artificially cultivated, while the one Ethan bought was naturally nurtured in a place filled with auspicious energy, thanks to a fortunate coincidence.
The difference in effects was quite significant, and this was also what geomancy masters seek.
It not only provided protection but was also of great help during battles.
Simone saw the excitement on everyone else’s faces and realized that they also wanted to find such a rare treasure.
She added, “Of course, it’s very difficult to come across something like this under normal circumstances. If it weren’t for the negative energy surrounding it, other geomancy masters would have bought it long ago, and the stall owner might not even bring it out for sale. This

kind of thing is truly rare, hence its value. In the circle of geomancy masters, this item cannot be bought with money.”
She smiled and said, “This is something that can be encountered but not sought after. You’re lucky today.”
Ethan had a smile on his face. “I’m really fortunate today.”
He sighed. “Ever since I started hanging out with you, Simone, my luck has greatly improved.”
Before joining Gray Entertainment and even before entering the entertainment industry, his life and career were not going well.
He had even encountered many frustrating situations. But after switching to Simone’s studio, everything started to go smoothly, and it kept getting better.
This time, he even managed to find such a valuable item.
Simone chuckled. “When things start going well, they usually continue to go well, so you have this perception.”
Ethan said, “It’s not a perception. I feel like you’re my lucky charm.”
At this moment, Bailey said, “From a physiognomy perspective, Simone can indeed be considered your lucky charm. If you hadn’t joined Simone, not only would your career not have improved, but you would have wasted several years. And you would have ended up offending people you can’t afford to offend. Then, your life would have been very difficult or even a bit tragic.”
He had observed that Ethan’s destiny had undergone a positive change due to his association. with Simone.
This transformation wasn’t deliberate but rather a consequence of a choice.
Consequently, this shift in fate was deemed permissible by the heavens and wouldn’t incur backlash or punishment.
It had to be acknowledged that Ethan meeting Simone was likely the most fortuitous event in his life.
Bailey’s words resonated with everyone, given his evident abilities.
The revelation left them surprised and astonished. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Clearly, they hadn’t anticipated that Ethan would have faced such an unfortunate fate if he hadn’t joined Simone’s studio.
Chapter 296 You’re Overthinking
Now, with Simone’s support, his career was unmistakably on an upward trajectory, promising further improvement.
Ethan was taken aback by his own reflections.
A more profound smile lit up his eyes. “So, being able to meet Simone is the greatest stroke of luck in my life.”
He genuinely felt this way.
Zac, sporting a proud expression as if speaking about himself, chimed in, “That’s for sure.”
Upon adding a meaningful tone, he continued, “You are a stark contrast to certain people. Ast you become more successful, certain people become more unlucky. It’s all about vision and choices.”
He gave Ethan a supportive pat on the back and commented, “It shows that you have good
taste.”
Who are
Ethan chuckled and concurred, “Yes, I think I have good taste, unlike certain people so oblivious. Mistaking a fish eye for a pearl, only to lose the pearl. And we are the fortunate ones who found the pearl.”
Andrew, Aaron, and Leon exchanged glances with disheartened expressions. You might as well directly name our names.
Of course, the words of the two also made them feel quite disheartened.
And it was quite unpleasant at the moment.
Upon careful consideration, it was indeed true.
Ethan’s transition from misfortune to luck stood in stark contrast to their own increasing streaks of bad luck.
Especially for Andrew, he was definitely being resented by the two.
Others joked, “I feel like job hopping to Simone’s studio.”
Simone lightly laughed. “Come, welcome you all.”
Aaron had a thought and approached Simone with a smile. “Sinone, how about I change to your studio as well?” He wasn’t saying this for the sake of good luck but to improve his relationship with her and to make up for past mistakes.
Simone’s smile faded slightly as she glanced at him and said, “You might be overthinking.”

Aaron was left speechless. She is cruel.
Leon, who had also wanted to ask the same question, fell silent upon seeing this.
The group continued walking forward.
Andrew, gloating, walked up to Aaron.
In a low voice, he said. “Aaron, can’t handle being a sycophant anymore, huh?”
Aaron scoffed. “At least I’m better than you, a sycophant. At least Simone didn’t intentionally harm me like you.”
Andrew remained silent. This conversation can’t continue anymore.
