Chapter 37 - 37 37 Girl I See Something Special in Your Bones

37: Chapter 37: Girl, I See Something Special in Your Bones 37: Chapter 37: Girl, I See Something Special in Your Bones The man’s appearance looked ordinary, except for the two tufts of goatee on his face, which were hardly enough to make a memorable impression.

Upon seeing that Old Man Chen was alright, he slightly startled, then raised his hand to start calculating.

“Dad, are you alright?”

Chen Yan, somewhat anxious, quickly walked up to her father and looked him over from left to right, but couldn’t find anything amiss.

Old Man Chen, feeling uncomfortable under her scrutiny, couldn’t help but scold, “What are you looking at?

What’s there to see?

Didn’t you see that we have guests?

Yuanxiao and the others came specifically to see you, and you didn’t even greet them?”

Ah?

Them?

Chen Yan looked at the leftover food in the pot and then at the silly boys squatting on the ground, clutching large bowls and with greasy mouths, feeling a wave of speechlessness.

She was inclined to remind her father that if it weren’t for those two large pots at home, this bunch of scoundrels would never have visited a second time.

But this wasn’t the most pressing issue at the moment.

She turned to look at the strange man behind her.

The man slightly smiled, cupped his hands towards Old Man Chen, and said, “This humble one is Leng Nian, I have met Boss Chen.”

“Cold noodles?”

Old Man Chen hadn’t heard clearly for a moment.

“Nian, as in reminiscence.”

The man, whose name seemed eerie, corrected without changing his expression, “When I just returned with your daughter, I noticed that the Fengshui formation near your door had been activated, fearing that your family might be calculated against, leading to unexpected changes.

I didn’t expect that upon entering, the evil energy had already dissipated.”

“What Fengshui, evil energy…”

Old Man Chen, confused, suddenly recalled what Wang Yunxiao had just mentioned, and couldn’t help asking, “Do you understand Fengshui?”

“A little.”

Leng Nian, with a modest smile on his face, raised his hand and said, “Boss Chen, may I have a word in private?”

Old Man Chen glanced at Wang Yunxiao, who had put down his chopsticks, and laughed heartily, “It’s okay, these are all children of the family, you can speak openly if you have something to say.”

Leng Nian hesitated for a moment, then spoke, “I am not a local, just happened to pass by due to a coincidental opportunity and noticed a problem…

Boss Chen, have you offended someone recently?”

Old Man Chen looked baffled, “No, who could I have possibly offended?”

He was just a nut seller, who else could he offend or even have the capacity to offend?

Was it possible that someone’s grandmother choked on sunflower seeds and they decided to blame him?

“Has business been a bit slow these past few days?”

“Well…”

Old Man Chen suddenly hesitated.

Indeed business had been slow these days, but he hadn’t thought much of it, as there weren’t any festivals recently.

There were no childbirth celebrations or other major events in town, and he didn’t expect any large customers at his nut roasting shop.

Leng Nian pointed outside and said, “Someone has set up a Fengshui spell that has blocked the lifegate of your storefront.

With the Fengshui blocked, financial loss is a minor issue, but with the evil energy having no way to disperse, it tends to accumulate and can easily disturb one’s emotions and shake one’s divine soul.

In severe cases, it might even endanger lives.”

“When we came back just now, we saw the evil energy soaring outside the door, and it’s fortunate that there were many people in your house today, with young men full of vital energy, who suppressed the evil energy.

If it had just been you two elders at home, something might have happened.”

Hearing this, Old Man Chen suddenly panicked.

In the past, people tended to believe in these kinds of things.

Combined with Chen Yan’s unusual behavior these past few days and his own recent chest pain, Old Man Chen couldn’t help but believe.

He hastily asked, “Then, Mr.

Leng…

Master, what can be done about this?

I really haven’t offended anyone…”

Leng Nian shook his head and said, “Boss Chen, no need to worry.

Since it’s not about revenge, it’s very likely about profit.

In my opinion, this calamity probably targets your daughter.

Your daughter has an extraordinary physiognomy and is destined for great fortune.

But you should know that the Saint once said, ‘Thus, when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a man, it always first frustrates his spirit and will, exhausts his muscles and bones, and makes him suffer deprivation in every way.’ In other words, those destined for great achievements must go through such tribulations.”

Old Man Chen thought to himself, I don’t need her to achieve anything great!

Our family doesn’t have the destiny of an emperor!

Leng Nian then changed the topic and continued, “Although this is the general principle, speaking practically and focusing on the present, your daughter is still young, like a child carrying red gold through a bustling crowd, easily attracting envy.

In the Jianghu World, there are endless methods used by evil spirits and ghosts.

I’ve heard of legends in Jianghu about stealing another person’s fate, or using people with special destinies as cauldrons to practice evil kungfu…”

Old Man Chen’s scalp tingled as he listened.

Wang Yunxiao remained silent beside him.

Whether Chen Yan’s physiognomy and destiny were problematic, he didn’t know, as he wasn’t a professional.

But this person seemed to have significant issues.

How come, just when something happens in your family, you happen to encounter it?

What’s your relation with Third Master Ding?

Terrified, Old Man Chen broke out into a cold sweat and urgently sought advice, “Master, can you please help my daughter resolve this issue?”

Leng Nian waved his hand and said, “These are trivial matters, hardly worth mentioning.

Just now, I took your daughter out to perform a ‘Cicada Shedding’ spell, and I also cleared the Fengshui evil at your door.

It will take some time before the other party notices anything abnormal.

However, this is merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

A girl appearing publicly, even without such a good destiny, merely having a slightly prettier complexion can easily attract trouble.”

Isn’t that the truth!

Old Man Chen felt a deep sorrow.

As the conversation reached this point and the timing seemed about right, Leng Nian put on a serious face and said, “Actually, there is a solution.

I see that your daughter has extraordinary bones and exceptional talents, making her quite suitable for practicing the Physiognomy of my lineage.

If Boss Chen doesn’t mind, I would like to take your daughter as my disciple and teach her the Immortal Law of our sect.

Whether she can cultivate to fruition remains to be seen, but at least she will have some means to protect herself.”

Ah, this…

This is a good thing…

right?

Throughout history, whether it is any discipline, one must seek knowledge.

It’s rare to hear of anyone willing to actively transmit their skills unless the disciple is exceptionally talented.

Could such good fortune really fall upon my family’s Yan’er?

Old Man Chen’s first thought was not about any prejudice towards Fengshui Physiognomy; as a nut seller, could he really expect his daughter to achieve much?

In these times, any skill that can feed you is a good skill, with no distinction between high or low, noble or base.

Sun Wukong could afford to be picky, learning this and not that; do you have that kind of fortune?

His concern was not about whether to learn or not, but rather about the problems of appearances and propriety.

When a daughter goes to school, the neighbors dare not gossip, but if she is to spend time alone with a strange man…

such matters, even a hundred years from now, cannot be said to be appropriate.

This has nothing to do with how open-minded people are.

One must respect human nature.
