Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 478: The Luck of the Mu Family

Daoist Master Chenxin raised his head and looked at Mu Tianxiong with an arrogant attitude, "I’m not one to brag, but Patriarch Mu, based on the fortune-telling I’ve done for the Mu Family, within half a year, there might no longer be a Mu Family presence in the Capital. I am sure you’ve heard of how accurate my predictions are. Don’t think I’m alarming you with exaggerated fears."

Mu Tianxiong smiled awkwardly and said, "Daoist Master Chenxin, what are you talking about? You’re known throughout the Capital as the Divine Calculator, how could I not believe what you say? Indeed, our Mu Family is facing some difficulties recently, we have encountered a lot of troubling affairs, and I am genuinely worried."

Daoist Master Chenxin let out a cold snort, extended five fingers, and said, "For fifty percent of your family’s properties, I can work to change your family’s fortune. I always keep my word; after my intervention, your Mu Family will surely rise. Asking for half of your properties is only reasonable, and I believe Patriarch Mu understands this."

Mu Tianxiong was shocked at heart, thinking, why don’t you just rob us directly? Right off the bat, you want fifty percent of the Mu Family’s properties; do you think it was easy for me to fight for and build up the Mu Family’s empire over these long years?

He maintained his smile and said, "Daoist Master Chenxin, everyone has seen how you can change fortunes, and indeed, many families in the Capital have been saved by your hands; this is an indisputable fact. However, it hasn’t been easy for our Mu Family to get where we are today. Don’t you think asking for fifty percent is a bit too much?"

Daoist Master Chenxin slammed the table with force and exclaimed, "What, you think my skills aren’t worth fifty percent of the Mu Family’s properties?"

Mu Tianxiong hastily said, "No, no, not at all, I just mean..."

Daoist Master Chenxin stared coldly at Mu Tianxiong, "Just what? Just reluctant to part with these family properties? But think it through carefully; only with my help does your Mu Family have any chance of surviving. And once your Mu Family goes bankrupt, no matter how many properties you have, it will all be in vain."

Mu Tianxiong clenched his teeth, realizing that Daoist Master Chenxin had made up his mind to exploit the Mu Family, but the old man was right—without giving up the fifty percent, the Mu Family might even struggle to survive.

He took a deep breath and tentatively asked, "Daoist Master Chenxin, is thirty percent okay?"

Daoist Master Chenxin curled his lip, "Do you take me for a beggar, trying to fob me off like this?"

Then, his gaze fell on Mu Qingqing, and a sleazy smile appeared on his aged face as he said, "If you really can’t part with that much, thirty percent will do. But on the condition that you let this beautiful granddaughter of yours serve me for a few days. Just agree to it, and I’ll only take thirty percent."

Mu Qingqing, who was next to him, paled when she heard these words and huddled closer to Mu Tianxiong. She looked fearfully at Daoist Master Chenxin, thinking to herself, what a despicable, shameless old man, even at his age he’s still lusting after me! ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Mu Tianxiong’s expression also darkened a notch—he hadn’t expected Daoist Master Chenxin to fancy this sort of thing and couldn’t help but want to slap the old man a few times.

Unfortunately, the man was too powerful and held a high position in the Capital, so he could only entertain the thought internally.

He sighed and said, "Then let’s stick with the fifty percent."

Daoist Master Chenxin sneered, "I knew you wouldn’t be willing to part with your granddaughter. It would have been better for you to agree sooner and save the girl the fright. Just now, she looked at me as though I was going to eat her."

Mu Qingqing was quietly relieved when Mu Tianxiong didn’t agree to the request. Then inside her head, she cursed the disgusting old man a hundred times. If she had known what an unscrupulous person he was, she would never have brought him back.

Mu Tianxiong merely gave an awkward laugh and didn’t respond to Daoist Master Chenxin.

Daoist Master Chenxin’s attitude clearly softened a lot after Mu Tianxiong agreed, and with a smile, he said, "Since Patriarch Mu has agreed to give me fifty percent of the properties, let’s sign the contract as soon as possible so I can begin the process of changing the Mu Family’s fortune."

Mu Tianxiong was just about to agree when a cold voice came from the doorway, "The Mu Family does not need you to change its fortune."

The three people in the study turned their gaze toward the doorway.

Daoist Master Chenxin gave Chen Fan a once-over, his face cold as he said to Mu Tianxiong, "Patriarch Mu, do the juniors of your Mu Family speak to me with such an attitude?"

Mu Tianxiong quickly said, "Daoist Master Chenxin, don’t be angry. Although Chen Fan is a junior, his status in the Mu Family is not at all lower than mine. In some sense, I even have to listen to some of his decisions."

Daoist Master Chenxin sneered, "I can’t believe that you, the esteemed Patriarch Mu, have to listen to a junior. So, if he says the Mu Family doesn’t need me to change its fortune, you really think that’s the case?"

Mu Tianxiong was at a loss for what to say for a moment, then turned his head to Chen Fan and said, "Chen Fan, the Mu Family’s fortune has indeed been very bad lately. Daoist Master Chenxin’s methods are still recognized by everyone. If we don’t let him help change our fortune, the Mu Family is very likely to never recover."

Mu Qingqing also chimed in, "Yes, brother-in-law, you have no idea how unlucky I have been lately. If the Mu Family’s fortune continues to be this bad, I’ll definitely break down."

Chen Fan said with a smile, "The Mu Family’s fortune was indeed a bit poor a while ago, but I have already helped change the Mu Family’s fortune. The fortune of the Mu Family has already started to rise rapidly. You will soon find everything going your way. There’s no need to listen to this old man, not to mention he even wants fifty percent of the Mu Family’s assets. I don’t know where he gets the nerve."

Daoist Master Chenxin became furiously angry, pointing at Chen Fan and shouting, "Arrogant junior, how dare you speak to me with that tone, are you seeking death! The trend of the Mu Family’s fortune is the worst I’ve seen in years. Why else do you think I would want fifty percent of the assets? And you even dare to say that you have already changed the Mu Family’s fortune? Do you really think changing fortune is as simple as you make it out to be!"

Naturally, Daoist Master Chenxin did not believe Chen Fan’s words, but Mu Tianxiong and Mu Qingqing both widened their eyes in shock.

They knew Chen Fan well and knew that he was not one to joke around; moreover, he always managed to pull off jaw-dropping feats. So when they heard Chen Fan say that he had already changed the fortune of the Mu Family, they were somewhat inclined to believe him.

"Chen Fan, is what you said true?" Mu Tianxiong asked eagerly.

Chen Fan nodded.

Daoist Master Chenxin, with a face full of disbelief, said, "Patriarch Mu, you can’t seriously believe the words of an arrogant and ignorant junior, can you?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Don’t you understand divination? Why don’t you divine the current fortune of the Mu Family right now to see if what I’m saying is true or false?"

Daoist Master Chenxin huffed, "Fine, since you’re so confident, I’ll divine this matter to expose your ridiculous assertions, you petulant child!"

After saying that, he took out several turtle shells and some Copper Coins and began to divine.

At first, he was full of confidence, but as the divination pattern began to change, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

When the final divination result came out, Daoist Master Chenxin’s eyes bulged, and he exclaimed in shock, "This is impossible! It absolutely cannot be!"
