Chapter 39 Looking at Mu Jinghan’s Physiognomy

After Mu Xiwan heard Grandpa Mu’s question, she slightly lowered her head and said somewhat embarrassedly:

“Grandpa, I happened to come across some books and studied on my own!”

“Studied on your own? When did you start studying then?” Grandpa Mu, upon hearing Mu Xiwan’s words, looked surprised, his voice involuntarily raising a few notches.

“During junior high!” Mu Xiwan raised her head and answered seriously. She felt it wasn’t the right time to tell everyone about her plum blossom birthmark and spatial abilities.

“What?” Not only the crowd but even the other elders widened their eyes in disbelief.

At this moment, Grandpa Mu also felt shocked. Could his granddaughter be a genius?

The people around showered Mu Xiwan with praises, even Mu Hongtao and Jiang Xingman beside her felt proud and happy, their faces beaming with pride.

Mu Xiwan felt a bit embarrassed by all the compliments. Her fair cheeks blushed slightly, “Actually, I’m not as amazing as everyone says. It’s just that the medical skills I learned are somewhat different from traditional Chinese medicine!”

Upon hearing this, Mu Hongye, standing beside her, asked with some confusion, “Xiwan, what’s different? Don’t they all use silver needles for acupuncture?”

After all, his wife is a doctor, so he has some knowledge of medicine.

Mu Xiwan thought for a moment after hearing her second uncle’s question, organized her thoughts, and then said seriously, “Second Uncle, I study Daoist medicine, which is different from Western and Chinese medicine!”

“Daoist medicine?” Grandpa Mu’s eyes flashed with surprise as he asked.

“Yes, Grandpa, the books I accidentally came across are related to metaphysics!” Mu Xiwan’s gaze met Grandpa Mu’s calmly.

“Metaphysics? Isn’t that what outsiders call fortune-tellers?” Mu Jinghan, who was listening to the conversation while eating, sneered upon hearing Mu Xiwan’s words.

Since yesterday, he had wanted to tease this new cousin. She had been making things difficult for his sister Xixi, and he hadn’t found an opportunity yesterday, but now he finally had a chance.

Mu Xiwan chuckled as she looked at Mu Jinghan, her eyes carrying a hint of playfulness. She said, “Yes, you could say that!”

“Since you can read metaphysics, why don’t you take a look at my physiognomy?” Mu Jinghan looked at Mu Xiwan, his eyes full of provocation.

“Sure, but if you want me to read your physiognomy, you have to pay!” Mu Xiwan replied.

Upon hearing that Mu Xiwan knew metaphysics, Chu Yunxi was surprised, but when she thought that Mu Xiwan had self-taught herself, she felt reassured.

Chu Yunxi then softly said, “Xiwan, we are all family. It’s not nice to ask for money, right?” Her voice seemed gentle, seemingly speaking up for Mu Jinghan but actually provoking.

Mu Jinghao, next to them, nodded in agreement, “Exactly, we are all family. It’s not right to talk about money like this!”

Mu Xiwan looked at them and said calmly, “Fortunes are not to be taken lightly. Remember, the more you calculate, the thinner the fate becomes. But if I take money, then it’s different. If I take money, it creates a karmic relationship between us, which won’t affect you!”

After hearing Mu Xiwan’s words, Mu Hongye walked up to Mu Jinghan and slapped the back of his head, “You brat, didn’t you hear what your sister said? You know nothing and yet speak nonsense!”

Feeling the strength of his father’s hand, Mu Jinghan, who was a military man, covered the painful spot and said in a hurt tone, “Dad, what did I say wrong?”

Seeing this scene, Mu Jinghao couldn’t help but feel a tingling sensation at the back of his head. He couldn’t control himself and moved his body away from his second uncle.

At this moment, Chu Yunyue quickly lowered her head, pretending to eat obediently.

Rubbing the spot where he was hit by Mu Hongye, Mu Jinghan continued, “Fine, I’ll pay. How much?” His tone carried a hint of defiance.

After some thought, Mu Xiwan said seriously, “Ten thousand!”

“Ten thousand? Are you robbing me?” Mu Jinghan exclaimed in disbelief, his voice filled with surprise and dissatisfaction.

Mu Xiwan replied with a hint of amusement, “You can choose not to have it read!”

Mu Jinghan, upon hearing Mu Xiwan’s words, wasn’t short of money. However, his monthly allowance was only 50,000 yuan. The money he had was hard-earned and meant for buying game skins.

But if he didn’t let Mu Xiwan read his physiognomy, how could he make her look foolish? So he gritted his teeth and said, “Fine, ten thousand!”

As he spoke, Mu Jinghan added Mu Xiwan as a friend on WeChat and transferred ten thousand yuan to her. His actions were swift, but his heart was bleeding.

Mu Xiwan, seeing the ten thousand yuan in her account, smiled faintly, put her phone in her pocket, and looked at Mu Jinghan, saying seriously, “We are related, so I can’t see your fortune in detail. However, I can see that your glabella is black and red. Not only is your fortune bad today, but you will also have a minor blood disaster!”

Mu Xiwan paused, then looked at Mu Jinghan with a playful smile, “I have a talisman here. Do you want to buy one?”

Mu Jinghan, hearing Mu Xiwan’s words, felt like she was still eyeing his meager wallet.

He quickly covered his phone and said loudly, “Who wants to buy your talisman? You’re not even sure if your reading is accurate. If I don’t have the blood disaster you said today, I want you to return my money when I get home from school this afternoon!”

Mu Xiwan, hearing Mu Jinghan’s childish words, couldn’t help but chuckle, “Okay!”

Mu Jinghan, hearing Mu Xiwan’s reply, felt a little better. He thought there was a chance that his ten thousand yuan would return to his wallet.

So Mu Jinghan hurriedly finished his meal, then called Chu Yunxi and Mu Jinghao to leave the house together.

Mu Hongtao, watching Mu Jinghan leave, looked at Mu Xiwan with some concern, “Xiwan, is Jinghan’s blood disaster serious?”

Mu Xiwan, looking at Mu Hongtao who trusted her so much, smiled and said, “It’s nothing serious, just a little bad luck!”

After all, Mu Jinghan was her cousin. Although his attitude towards her was not good, it was understandable. After all, he had been misled by Chu Yunxi.

Besides, he was her relative, and her second uncle and aunt were also kind to her. So, for her second uncle and aunt, she was willing to help.

Plus, she had been paid, so she wasn’t at a loss.

Mu Hongtao, hearing Mu Xiwan’s words, felt relieved. Mu Hongye, on the other hand, was somewhat surprised. When did his elder brother become so trusting of feng shui?

Besides, how old was Xiwan? Usually, feng shui masters were elderly Taoists.

How old was his niece? Only a teenager, and she had only started studying metaphysics in junior high. Yet, his elder brother trusted her so much?

Mu Hongtao, seeing Mu Hongye’s surprised expression, smiled and recounted the story of Ji Hangyi asking Mu Xiwan to exorcise a ghost.
