Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

"Ahem... Xiao Tang, what are you doing? Don't imitate those frivolous girls in the city."

Li Mu coughed twice and lightly scratched Shi Tang before speaking.

"Um, Brother Mu, I wasn't being inappropriate! Girls all like to look sexy and pretty, and even girls from the countryside are very daring with their fashion choices these days! You still haven't answered me, do you think my outfit looks good?"

Shi Tang's pretty face flushed slightly, but she still tried her best to appear bold and open.

"It looks delicious! Okay, I'm hungry, is dinner ready?"

As Li Mu spoke, he walked towards the kitchen.

He actually didn't dare to look at this girl who was clearly trying to use her beauty to make a move.

He had just finished giving Lu Ming an acupuncture treatment at the hotel and was quite overwhelmed by the visual impact. Now that he was back home, he was being seduced by this guy again. He really couldn't resist.

Actually, Li Mu is still a bit conflicted about what approach and attitude to take towards Shi Tang.

Although he was now certain that the girl was sent by Ma Tao, Li Mu was still unable to bring himself to retaliate against her immediately.

Firstly, he deduced from the divination that Shi Tang was being used by Ma Tao because he encountered difficulties, and that the child was not inherently bad.

Secondly, this girl has indeed been very diligent at home these past few days, working hard without complaint, cooking well, and doing housework quite well.

Furthermore, although his body has become younger and his mindset has changed considerably, he still has the mentality of an old man. He always feels that he is still an old man, and it is difficult for Li Mu to have such thoughts about such a beautiful girl, or even to directly win her over. Li Mu feels that he is really unable to get over this psychological hurdle for the time being.

There's no way around it. Li Mu, who has lived a life of honesty and kindness, and who only goes to great lengths for massages when he's on the verge of death, is unlikely to be driven by revenge and to sleep with Shi Tang without any emotional connection whatsoever.

Of course, difficulty in doing something doesn't mean it's impossible; it's just that Li Mu felt he needed some time to gradually reassure himself.

No matter what, we absolutely cannot let that bastard Ma Tao succeed, and we certainly cannot let Shi Tang, this hostage from the Spirit Realm, slip away from our sight.

These past two days, Li Mu has been considering whether he shouldn't deal with this matter so simply and crudely. Could he help Shi Tang, this poor girl, while getting revenge on Ma Tao?

But for Shi Tang, what she desperately wanted now was to make Li Mu interested in her and fall in love with her, so that she could complete her mission as soon as possible and get the money to treat her brother's illness and save his life.

She even thought that it wouldn't matter if she sacrificed her body, as a way to make up for the poor old man, Li Mu.

Let Li Mu experience the warmth of being loved and cared for by a woman before he leaves, and even experience the body and beauty of a young girl. She felt that this would make her feel less guilty.

However, there was one thing that puzzled her: Li Mu didn't look like an elderly person with terminal cancer who only had a few months left to live.

He doesn't seem to take any medicine, and he's always full of energy. He even goes to exercise every morning, and he has a great appetite, eating two bowls of rice every day.

However, she didn't dare ask Li Mu, because Ma Tao told her that everyone was keeping Li Mu's cancer diagnosis a secret from him.

In fact, Ma Tao was lying to Shi Tang when he said Li Mu had cancer, so that she would get married to Li Mu as soon as possible and obtain legal inheritance rights.

He was worried that Shi Tang would ask Li Mu, which would expose the truth, so he deliberately lied to her and said that Li Mu herself did not know that she had late-stage cancer.

Shi Tang was an honest and kind girl who trusted her evil and hypocritical cousin Ma Tao completely. Therefore, she never dared to mention the cancer to Li Mu.

After dinner, Shi Tang finished tidying up and watched TV with Xuehua.

Li Mu, on the other hand, was in his study reading or continuing to brainstorm ideas for opening a clinic.

At the same time, he will also try to cast a divination to continue to calculate the matter of revenge against Ma Tao, as well as information about the whereabouts of his youngest daughter, Li Jia.

Revenge against Ma Tao is naturally Li Mu's top priority right now, but the divination results consistently indicate that the time is not yet ripe and he needs to wait.

Acting rashly could be dangerous.

At first, Li Mu thought that with his current strength, what danger could there be in killing Ma Tao?

But after repeatedly casting divinations and analyzing each hexagram over the past few days, Li Mu gradually discovered a piece of information that surprised and shocked him.

That is, there seems to be a very powerful and dangerous force hiding behind Ma Tao!

Although this information is not very clear at the moment, the divination does not lie. With this hint, it must be correct.

Therefore, Li Mu felt that the danger he might encounter if he rashly sought revenge against Ma Tao likely came from the terrifying forces behind him.

The main hexagram revealing this danger is Xun (☴), which represents wind. This hexagram signifies changeability, unpredictability, and also some mysterious and enigmatic power.

Li Mu analyzed that Ma Tao amassed wealth by creating various accidents for the insured to defraud insurance companies in an evil way. It is not something that one or two people can do to create accidents that cause injury or death to the insured.

There must be a criminal gang behind him, and there might even be a mastermind like him secretly assisting or even controlling him.

After all, it's difficult to achieve a foolproof accident by using ordinary methods that leave no trace for the police and insurance companies.

Although the divination indicated that revenge against Ma Tao should not be rushed, otherwise there would be danger, Li Mu was still somewhat impatient.

Ever since learning that his poor children were killed by the devils Ma Tao and Liu Yanjuan, Li Mu has been unable to sleep at night. Whenever he closes his eyes, he dreams of his children crying and begging their father to avenge them.

Every day he delayed his revenge, he suffered another day of torment, and he felt that his children in heaven would also suffer another day of torment.

Now that he has Shi Tang as a resource to utilize, and he has also obtained the supernatural power of shapeshifting, if he also has the assistance of talismans, he believes that it is entirely possible to successfully kill Ma Tao without leaving any evidence for the police.

Therefore, Li Mu decided to take action in the next two days, even if it meant taking risks!

As for his youngest daughter, Li Jia, who was abducted, Li Mu repeatedly cast divinations but failed each time. Even when he did succeed, the divination results were unclear.

This puzzled him somewhat. He wondered if it was because Jiajia was too far away from him.

Besides time limitations, does his current divination technique also have spatial limitations?

Things and people that are too far away from him are difficult to measure?

However, this is not mentioned in the transmission of the Guiyuan Tianyi Jue.

Li Mu even boldly speculated that if Jiajia's information could not be calculated by divination, could she also be a primordial spirit hostage of the Heavenly Easing Saint Venerable?

Or... my beloved daughter Jiajia is no longer alive?

It is impossible to calculate the information of a dead person in the three days before and after their death.

Ding!

Just as Li Mu was sitting at his desk deep in thought, his phone suddenly received a message.

When Li Mu saw that it was sent by Mingyue, he quickly opened it.

"Master, how have you been these past few days? Your disciple Yueyue misses you so much. Ugh, being stuck at home is incredibly boring, I'm practically moldy! Master, I really want to eat your cooking! I also want to take you to the casino and win big! But, I'm planning an escape, and I'm sure it will succeed! Master, just wait! It won't be long before I come to find you! Master, remember, don't reply to this message! As for why I can't let you contact me, I'll tell you later! Master! Goodnight! Mwah!"

Upon seeing the text message from the little girl, Li Mu's lips curled into a smile, but he felt a pang of heartache in his heart.

Since Mingyue's sudden departure, Li Mu really misses that carefree, lively, and adorable little girl.

He really didn't know what Mingyue had done or why her parents were keeping her locked up at home.

Is it just because we don't let her go out to gamble?

Unfortunately, because Mingyue was a spiritual being, she was unable to perform any divination.

But Li Mu's intuition told him that Mingyue's family was strange and definitely not an ordinary wealthy family.

"Brother Mu! Brother Mu!"

Suddenly, Shi Tang's shouts came from the bathroom.

"Xiao Tang, what's wrong?" Li Mu asked as he walked out of the study and towards the bathroom.

"Brother Mu, I forgot to bring my bath towel! Could you hand it to me? It's hanging on the clothes rack on the balcony."

"That's what Shi Tang said in the bathroom."

"Okay, sure."

Li Mu agreed, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart: was this girl going to come up with some kind of trick again?
