“Grandma believes that your upbringing has been very successful. You are all young talents with good character, strong abilities, and a sense of responsibility. You can’t engage in that kind of behavior. If you do, remember that Grandma hasn’t practiced in a long time. Although your actions may not be as quick as when you were younger, you still have the strength to guide you.”

Kevin: “…Grandma, could you please wait until I finish speaking?”

“Go ahead, but it’s clear you only shared half of what you wanted to say and didn’t finish your thought. You’re embarrassed to point fingers at Grandma; only your own Grandma would be so accommodating.”

“Grandma, I’m going to look at a house tomorrow, and I need a reputable geomancer. Is there a genuine one available?”

The elderly lady was confused and replied, “You need a geomancer to assess the house? I understand that buying a home is a significant decision. Living in a house with a poor layout won’t bring smoothness to your life, and the worst-case scenario is buying a house with a terrible layout, which could ruin the family.”

“But you mentioned wanting a geomancer who can deceive people; do you think Grandma can’t find a good geomancer to evaluate the house for you?”

Grandma May was quite old and had encountered many outsiders in her time.

The elderly often have a strong belief in geomancy.

The most skilled geomancer visited the York family’s ancestral home and arranged things so that the York family would always enjoy happiness. Their business flourished, and they became wealthier and more secure. For a long time, they held the most wealth.

The only surprising aspect was when the geomancer informed the ancestors of the York family that having a daughter would be more challenging.

It was difficult—very difficult—but that didn’t mean they had no daughters. In the end, it wasn’t just hard; it was extremely challenging! For many generations, the York family had not welcomed a daughter. Grandpa’s generation did have one daughter, but she did not live to adulthood. Over the span of three generations, there had been no daughters in the family.

Grandma had eagerly anticipated the arrival of a granddaughter, and her hope persisted until her neck grew longer than a giraffe’s. When she realized a granddaughter might not come, she moved her family out of their ancestral home and into Wildridge Manor, hoping to manifest a great-granddaughter.

After witnessing the power of geomancy, Grandma May became a firm believer in its efficacy. She understood that real skills were required to master it, but few people pursued this profession nowadays, and even fewer excelled.

When it came to Kevin’s request, no one was as perceptive as Grandma May; she grasped her grandson’s intentions.

“Grandma, I just need a skilled geomancer. Can you help me with this? I plan to consult the master tomorrow, so I’d appreciate your assistance in arranging it.”

Grandma May replied, “Alas, your request puts me in a difficult position. I’ve befriended all the masters, so don’t worry.”

Kevin then hung up the phone.
