At first, she didn’t believe that Xu Wendong, a young man, was proficient in face reading.

But now she suddenly realized.

Xu Wendong seemed truly proficient in face reading.

It’s just that.

It wasn’t her who was facing a blood calamity and impending disaster, but the entire Ye Family.

Otherwise, how could her cousin and his daughter encounter misfortune on the same day?

Coming back to her senses, Ye Qiu tried to calm her emotions and couldn’t help but ask, "Grandfather, do you believe that someone can discern others’ fortunes through face reading?"

Mr. Ye was slightly taken aback by Ye Qiu’s sudden and somewhat abrupt question, a trace of confusion flickered in his eyes, not understanding why Ye Qiu would ask such a question at this time and place.

But relying on his years of experience and composure, he slowly responded, "In this vast world, extraordinary individuals are as numerous as stars, countless in number."

"Indeed, there exists a rare handful of special individuals, as if endowed by heaven with unique talents and extraordinary abilities, capable of mastering the mysterious art of face reading."

"However, such people are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, extremely scarce."

"Even those cultivators with awe-inspiring power and unfathomable cultivation realms may not necessarily be adept at mastering such miraculous and almost unbelievable divine skills."

Ye Qiu paused slightly, then continued, "Today, while in the mall, I happened to encounter a young man. He gazed at me with deep and resolute eyes, saying that evil qi was quietly gathering at my forehead and claimed that I would encounter a blood calamity in the near future."

"At the time, I thought he was just talking nonsense and didn’t take his words to heart."

"Later, I went to the antique market to wander around, intending to find a protective charm to ensure my safety. Surprisingly, I encountered him again by chance..."

Ye Qiu then recounted in detail the series of events that occurred when she met Xu Wendong.

Finally, she carefully took out the amulet from her bag, which she had spent 1.2 million yuan to purchase.

"Was this talisman really drawn by a young man?" Mr. Ye was shocked when he first saw the amulet.

Although he was a mere mortal and had never truly stepped into the mysterious and fantastical world of cultivators, he had always harbored a passionate yearning and longing for it.

It was precisely because of this that over the years, he spared no expense and effort, searching for and purchasing amulets and other talismans, treating them as invaluable collectibles.

However, at this moment, witnessing the talisman in Ye Qiu’s hand caused a strong sense of shock and admiration to surge in his heart.

Because, compared to the dozens of talismans he treasured, this one far surpassed them in terms of the intricacy and complexity of its runes, the strength of its spiritual power fluctuations, and the mysterious aura it exuded.

"Though this talisman is made of ordinary material, the rune is incredibly miraculous. I can feel the power it contains."

"This talisman is even stronger than those from Dragon and Tiger Mountain!"

The other members of the Ye Family also nodded in agreement, as the talismans from Dragon and Tiger Mountain were unrivaled.

Yet.

They could fully see that the talisman drawn by Xu Wendong was far more miraculous than those crafted by the strong practitioners of the Taoist Sect from Dragon and Tiger Mountain.

It had an indescribable charm and profoundness.

"Grandfather." Ye Qiu’s crisp and determined voice rang out again, "I mean, could we invite that person to our family, to help us foresee our future?"

At this moment, Ye Qiu had completely believed in Xu Wendong’s extraordinary abilities from the depths of her heart.

In her view, if they could successfully invite Xu Wendong to the Ye Family, perhaps he could cleverly resolve the numerous predicaments and thorny issues the Ye Family was currently entangled in.

Mr. Ye slightly narrowed his experienced eyes and gradually nodded, a flash of anticipation momentarily appearing in his previously somewhat murky gaze, "If indeed we can find this person and sincerely invite him to visit the Ye Family, it wouldn’t be an unreasonable plan."

Ye Qiu gently acknowledged with a sound, contemplated for a moment, and then said, "Uncle Gao from the Talisman Shop has that guy’s contact information. I’ll call him to ask."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu’s father couldn’t help but smile wryly and slowly shook his head, showing a trace of resignation, as he said, "Old Gao has always been a shrewd and deep-thinking person. Even if he does have the young man’s contact information, he may not readily share it with us!"

------

The next day, the sunlight gently bathed the earth, covering the world in a layer of golden gauze.

Just as Xu Wendong and Lin Yiren leisurely finished breakfast and were preparing to head to the Antique Street to start another busy day, Xu Wendong’s mobile phone suddenly rang clearly.

He glanced sideways, seeing Gao Cheng’s phone number clearly displayed on the screen.

"What instructions does Boss Gao have?" Xu Wendong smiled slightly as he connected the call.

"Friend Xu, you’re too polite." Gao Cheng’s voice shifted slightly and straightforwardly started, "Here’s the thing, yesterday evening, Miss Ye called me, filled with urgency and earnestness, eager to inquire about your phone number. I had a feeling that she had something very important she wanted to entrust to you."

"I thought about it, and since this concerns you, I should give you a heads-up first to understand your stance on this matter, so I hurried to call you."

"No need to give her my number. Tell her if she needs anything, she can find me at the Mystic Spirit Pavilion," Xu Wendong said calmly and steadily, "By the way, the Mystic Spirit Pavilion is the former Baoyu Pavilion. I’ve successfully rented it and plan to open my own shop there!"

Gao Cheng laughed and joked on the other end, "I didn’t expect us to become neighbors, what a coincidence! Alright, I will truthfully convey the message to Miss Ye."

After a brief chat, Xu Wendong hung up the call with Gao Cheng, and then drove his Mercedes with his sister-in-law to Antique Street.

Since it was after the rush hour, the road was not very congested, but even so, it took more than half an hour.

Upon reaching the store, Xu Wendong took down the previous signboard and then hung the Mystic Spirit Pavilion signboard in its place.

This also signified that the shop was now open.

Just after hanging the sign, a graceful figure approached from a distance.

Who else could it be but Ye Qiu?
