Mr. Yang continued speaking: "After that, he went non-stop to the Western World."

"In the Imperialist Museums that once invaded our country and plundered countless treasures, he moved as if the place was deserted, using his unparalleled Divine Skills and fearless courage, retrieving the artifacts belonging to our nation."

"Those precious relics, carrying our nation’s long history and splendid culture, were heartlessly plundered by invaders, drifting to a foreign land, truly a national sorrow and a Great Xia disgrace!"

"Thankfully, Master Xu recovered them one by one and returned them to the national treasury intact."

"His achievement established his position in the hearts of the people and showed the world our emphasis on cultural heritage and unwavering determination."

"However, thereafter, Master Xu seemed to have vanished completely from the mortal world, disappearing from people’s sight." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"The world seemed to have lost track of him, no one knows his whereabouts, and some even speculate whether he is still in the mortal world."

"His disappearance is like an unsolved mystery, troubling countless hearts."

"Never thought he would hide in our small city of Qingyuan, truly a small recluse hides in the mountain, a great recluse hides in the city!"

"Indeed, indeed, indeed!" Mr. Ye seemed to have a Sudden Enlightenment, nodding repeatedly, his eyes gleaming with excitement and thrill: "I was earlier wondering why an unknown young man could draw such powerful talismans, brimming with mystical energy."

"Now, all my questions have been answered."

"The talisman Master Xu crafted, can ordinary mortals compare to it?"

At this, he suddenly seemed to recall something, looking coldly at Ye Qiu: "You mentioned you slapped Master Xu in the mall, correct?"

Ye Qiu, eyes brimming with tears: "Grandpa, I didn’t know he was Master Xu!"

Mr. Ye let out a heavy snort, saying: "Regardless of whether you knew about his identity, now that you do, you must sincerely apologize to him!"

"Dad, I feel it’s unnecessary," Ye Xingbang interjected hurriedly: "As they say, the ignorant should not be blamed, plus Master Xu does not wish his past to be known. If Ye Qiu goes to apologize, it might backfire and displease him!"

Mr. Ye nodded thoughtfully: "I was thoughtless! Anyway, be sure to maintain a close relationship with Master Xu in the future."

"Not hoping the Ye Family benefits from him, only wishing we can help him with small matters within our capability!"

The Ye Family’s grand gesture of sending a silk banner to Mystic Spirit Pavilion under the watchful eyes of the public.

Was like a giant stone thrown into a tranquil lake.

Instantly stirring up waves on Antique Street, transforming the previously unnoticed, obscure Mystic Spirit Pavilion into a Bright Pearl free of dust.

In an instant drew numerous attentions, becoming the focal point of everyone’s gaze, indeed gaining quite a spotlight on Antique Street.

Only at this moment did people awaken as if from a dream, realizing that in this seemingly ordinary Antique Street, a mysterious shop had quietly opened, able to read fortunes, resolve disasters and difficulties.

The reason Mystic Spirit Pavilion could stand out suddenly was due to receiving the recognition of one of the six major families in Qingyuan, the Ye Family.

The status of the Ye Family in Qingyuan is obvious, with deep family heritage, a sprawling commercial empire, a complex and well-rooted network, wielding significant influence across various sectors of society.

Their recognition is definitely hard-earned.

The Ye Family’s action was like declaring to the entire Antique Street and even Qingyuan City: Mystic Spirit Pavilion possesses extraordinary capabilities and reliable qualities.

This undoubtedly cloaked Mystic Spirit Pavilion in a sacred and dazzling aura, becoming its most persuasive golden signature.

Plus, the couplet at the entrance that reads "[No charge for those with destiny, those without can step aside]," became a topic of great interest among the people.

Making people feel the unique personality of the shop owner.

As the fame of Mystic Spirit Pavilion soared, Xu Wendong welcomed his second guest.

The visitor was a middle-aged man with a worn-out face.

His eyes were full of worry and confusion, his steps somewhat heavy.

Upon entry, he nervously rubbed his hands, saying to Xu Wendong: "Sir, my business has been plummeting recently and there’s constant strife at home. I heard you can read fortunes and resolve problems here, could you help me see what’s wrong with me?"

At this moment, inside Mystic Spirit Pavilion, the incense wafted upwards, smoke slowly swirling in the tranquil air, as if draping this space with a veil of mystery.

Xu Wendong raised his head slightly, casting a glance at his face, indicating him to sit first.

Then, Xu Wendong carefully scrutinized the man’s facial features, seeing his glabella is dim, eyebrow tails scattered, indeed displaying signs of decline.

He slowly spoke: "Your luck is indeed poor, disturbed by an ominous energy, and your own mind is unsettled, frequently making wong decisions, causing both business and family to fall into distress."

Upon hearing this, the man showed a fearful expression, hurriedly asking: "Sir, is there a way to resolve this?"

Xu Wendong pondered for a moment, said: "I’ll craft a transformation charm for you, place it at your home’s wealth position, and you need to cultivate your mind and think thrice before acting; in some time, your luck will naturally improve." Saying this, he crafted a talisman for him using the wolf-hair brush.

Treating it as a Supreme Treasure, the man then left a thousand yuan, respectfully turned, and left.

Despite the noticeable sign at the door saying ’No charge for those with destiny’, he felt uneasy not paying

Xu Wendong didn’t refuse, after all, the purchase of Talisman Paper, etc., involves a cost.

At noon.

A young woman timidly walked into Mystic Spirit Pavilion.

Her eyes were swollen, as if she had just cried.

Seeing Xu Wendong, she choked up and said: "Sir, my longtime boyfriend and I suddenly broke up, it feels like my world has collapsed, I wish to know what my future emotional path will be like."

Xu Wendong looked at her, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes, he said: "Miss, sorrow is written in your brows, your love life is indeed bumpy."

"But you are not devoid of good fate, it was your excessive obsession that led to losing yourself."

"You must let go of the past, rediscover yourself, when the heart becomes open, sincere companionship will follow."

The woman, hearing this, seemed thoughtful, though still carrying sadness, a hint of hope flickered in her gaze, she deeply bowed to Xu Wendong, saying: "Thank you, sir, I will strive to adjust myself."

Seeing she was about to take money, Xu Wendong chuckled and said: "Just a simple chat, no need to pay, buy a lollipop and have it; sweets do lighten one’s mood!"

"Thank you, sir."

The woman expressed her thanks and immediately turned to leave.

And just as she left, a middle-aged man entered the shop, glancing at Xu Wendong with a half-smile, said: "Master, I wonder if you and I are destined?"
