chapter 18 Zhanzi sword ===

“What did you say?” The faces of several people in the room changed drastically. “Thorpe Chen, how did you know?” Jenna Lin asked in surprise. “Who are you? Why do you know so clearly?” A murderous intent suddenly appeared on Halley Lin's face. He took a step forward. Having experienced many battles, he exuded a strong killing aura, making the room feel colder. “I just guessed based on facial features. If I've offended you, please forgive me,” Thorpe Chen said calmly. “Halley, step back,” Elder Lin straightened up, his voice deep, “Thorpe, I didn't believe in extraordinary people before, but now I do. Everything you said was accurate. But you also mentioned that Garth Peng's facial feature suggests she will have many sons and blessings. Why is it so hard for her to have a child?” “May I ask Enid Li a few questions? Could you please answer them honestly?” Thorpe Chen asked. “Yes.” Garth Peng suddenly felt that Thorpe Chen was not simple. Perhaps he could solve the problems she and her husband had. “Did your father pass away ten years ago? At the time of his death, did he have conflicts with others over burial customs?” Thorpe Chen asked. “Yes, exactly ten years ago. Our custom is to bury it in the ground. Due to land occupation issues, the village secretary, Waldo Wu, demanded fifty thousand yuan. There was a conflict then, but we didn't pay him. Does this have any karmic consequence?” Garth Peng asked. “That's the issue. Both of your facial features are excellent, but there is a trace of evil aura that doesn't dissipate, especially on Enid Li. The three fires on her shoulder flash but don't thrive. This indicates a problem with the ancestral house or grave," Thorpe Chen explained. Thorpe Chen continued, “Now, go to your father's grave, and three feet to the south of it, see if there's a nail that's around 6 inches long.” “Also, go back to your ancestral house and check if there's a sword hanging with red rope in the main hall.” “My ancestral home is just over thirty kilometres from Fengling City. After my father passed away, no one has lived there. Our neighbour, Uncle Zhou, has always been there. I will contact him immediately.” Garth Peng stared at Thorpe Chen, “May I ask, sir, if these problems exist, how can we solve them?” “The six-foot nail is a suspension nail, something only the most evil-hearted can do. Once it's hammered, the yin residence is disturbed, and the lack of close relatives is affected.” “The sword in the main hall is misplaced, hung by a red rope, forming a child-cutting sword. This curse affects future generations. If it's as I've described, just remove and destroy them,” Thorpe Chen advised. Garth Peng turned around, took her phone, and made a call. After a brief conversation, she hung up. A moment later, her neighbour Uncle Zhou called back. Garth Peng answered the phone and put it on speaker. “Garth, that bastard Waldo Wu's ancestors were geomancy masters. They knew about these things. No one expected that he would hang a sword in your main hall when no one was living in your house. This is harmful,” The old neighbour's angry voice came through the phone. “Come back quickly and find an expert to see how to break this. It will affect your future luck.” “Uncle Zhou, thank you. I will be back soon.” Garth Peng's voice trembled. Uncle Zhou's confirmation meant that Thorpe Chen was right. “That bastard Waldo Wu, he's been dead for several years now. My father had reported him for land occupation issues in the past. He held a grudge and even after my father's death, he didn't let him rest in peace?” Tears streamed down Garth Peng's face, “My poor child, he's only two years old...” “Garth, don't be sad. I will accompany you back,” Halley Lin said coldly. “Even if that bastard Waldo Wu is dead, I will dig up his remains and scatter his ashes.” “Go. After dealing with this, come to me. I will prescribe a remedy for you both to ensure you have many sons and blessings,” Thorpe Chen smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Chen.” Both of them bowed to Thorpe Chen and quickly left. “Mr. Chen, you truly are extraordinary,” Elder Lin's address changed after they left, “The Lin family is deeply indebted to you. If you ever need anything in the future, we will go through fire and water for you.” “Elder Lin, you're too kind. It was just a small effort,” Thorpe Chen smiled, prescribed a remedy for Elder Lin, chatted for a while, and then left. After leaving, Thorpe Chen sighed. Although he had died once, it was a blessing in disguise. The vast and profound Tai Xuan Holy Scripture that he integrated during his execution covered medicine, martial arts, and metaphysics. Unfortunately, his current body was not well-trained and had a weak foundation. He had only displayed a small part of his power during the last emergency, but even that was equivalent to the strength of a warrior. The Tai Xuan Holy Scripture had a total of eight levels. Each time one comprehended a level, it was like ascending to a new realm. At that moment, Thorpe Chen had only understood a little. If he could reach the first level, it would open up a new world for him. It seemed he needed to put in more effort. "Mr. Thorpe, please wait." Thorpe Chen hadn't left the hospital gate when Chi Zhou hurriedly caught up with him. "Mr. Zhou, what can I do for you?" Thorpe Chen asked in surprise, as he had no dealings with Chi Zhou. "Thorpe, you are truly a wise man. Look at me..." Chi Zhou straightened his clothes, "Can I make further progress?" "Mr. Zhou, you don't need to ask me." Thorpe Chen smiled slightly, pointing to his forehead, "This is the palace of official fortune. Your palace of official fortune is full, indicating that your career prospects are excellent. You are destined to hold an important position and achieve great things." "Furthermore, your face is radiant with joy. This indicates good news." Thorpe Chen laughed, "Moreover, happiness comes from the east. Congratulations, in a few days, you should be heading east." To the east was the provincial capital. Thorpe Chen's meaning was quite clear. "Really? Thank you, Thorpe. I hope your words come true." Chi Zhou slapped his thigh in joy. What Thorpe Chen said was very accurate. In fact, his promotion was almost a sure thing, but there were a few competitors, and he wasn't completely sure. With Thorpe Chen's words, he felt entirely reassured. "There's one more thing, I, I..." Chi Zhou began, seeming hesitant. "Also, take this prescription." Thorpe Chen took out a pen and wrote a prescription: "Cnidium, Epimedium, Polygala..." "The method and dosage for these herbs are written here. Take them for three consecutive days, and you'll know the effects." "Thank you, thank you so much, Thorpe. Here's my business card. If you need anything, just call me. When we're alone, you can call me 'brother'." Chi Zhou was ecstatic. For a man to discuss bedroom matters can be embarrassing, but Thorpe Chen immediately recognized his problem. This delighted Chi Zhou immensely. Having his two major concerns addressed, he felt incredibly relieved. "Alright, I'll honour you by calling you 'brother'." Thorpe Chen replied with a cheerful laugh. "Thorpe Chen, I was about to call you." Jenna Lin rushed out. "Mr. Zhou, you guys chat. I'll take my leave." Chi Zhou left, his face radiant with joy. "Mr. Zhou seems to be in a good mood." Jenna Lin commented, then took out a set of car keys, "Thorpe Chen, this is my car. I'm giving it to you since it looks inconvenient for you to take taxis." "What car?" Thorpe Chen was startled. "Porsche... 911." "I don't want it." Thorpe Chen shook his head. This car must cost around two million, too conspicuous. "How about this one..." Jenna Lin produced another key, "It's a Ferrari 458." "Do you have something... a bit more low-key?" Thorpe Chen chuckled, "Moreover, these sports cars aren't practical. Pregnant women would find them uncomfortable." "This is a Mercedes G500. The car is too big for me. Stop fussing." Jenna Lin swapped to another key and forcibly placed it in Thorpe Chen's hand, "This way, I won't have to pick you up when you come to treat my grandfather." "Alright, I won't stand on ceremony." Thorpe Chen nodded. "The car is parked downstairs. I've been frequenting the hospital lately and have been driving it here. Go and find it." Jenna Lin waved to Thorpe Chen and ran off. Thorpe Chen went to the basement and found the large G. This magnificent vehicle, the G, was probably the dream of many men. He checked the mileage, and it had only been driven a few thousand kilometres.
