Chapter 157: Chapter 149 Pisces_1

Mu You paused the game, opened WeChat, and was about to send a message to Lin Xue.

But then, the wind chimes at the door suddenly rang.

A young man in a suit walked through the door, but as soon as he entered, he stepped back half a step, checked the photo on his phone, and compared it carefully to the sign above his head. He then reentered, muttering to himself, "It should be here... Quirky Pet Store, what a common name. I wonder why my sister would come to a place like this..."

Mu You looked up and found that the first customer of the day was someone he knew.

It was Lin Hai, the son of a wealthy entrepreneur turned live-streamer, who had reportedly joined the business alliance not long ago. He did not expect him to suddenly appear in his store.

When Lin Hai entered, he was just about to say something, when he saw Mu You sitting at the reception desk, he immediately paused.

After carefully observing Mu You for a few seconds, his eyes lit up, "Eh? Grandmaster?"

"That’s me."

Mu You nodded, feeling a little confused. He was not wearing the skin of the Watchman at the moment, so he didn’t know how the other party recognized him.

"So it really is you, Grandmaster! I didn’t expect this to be your store... Oh, so my sister has been working for you recently, no wonder!" Lin Hai exclaimed.

"Why are you here, where’s your sister?"

Mu You looked at Lin Hai. Lin Xue didn’t come to work today, but instead her brother Lin Hai showed up... this made him vaguely guess a possibility.

"Oh, my sister asked me to come, here is her resignation letter."

Lin Hai took out a folded paper from his bag and handed it to Mu You.

"Resignation..."

Mu You frowned and took a look. Sure enough, it was a standard resignation letter, which was handwritten and the handwriting was unmistakably Lin Xue’s.

"What, what? Sister Xue is resigning?" Little Ya, who had been eavesdropping from behind the counter, was suddenly shocked upon hearing this news and hurriedly came out to inquire.

"Yes, something has happened at home. My sister can’t spare the time, so..." Lin Hai said.

"What?! What’s so serious? Can we help?" Little Ya asked without thinking.

"Uh, this... it might not be convenient..." Lin Hai looked a bit embarrassed, unsure of how to explain.

While he was vacillating over his wording, he suddenly saw a canary flap its wings and fly from far off, landing on the reception desk and sweeping its gaze over him a few times.

Lin Hai looked at Mu You in confusion: "Master, aren’t you afraid that this bird will fly away if you just let it roam freely?"

"Ahem, don’t worry, it won’t... Now, spread out your palm and let me see."

Mu You suddenly spoke.

The reason for this request was because after Vivian flew over, she sent him a message asking him to try infusing magic power into a couple of acupoints on Lin Hai’s palm.

"Huh?"

Lin Hai looked at Mu You curiously, wondering what he was up to, but obediently did as instructed, laying his right hand flat on the table.

Mu You touched his palm and fumbled for a few spots.

He didn’t know much about acupoints, and it was only with Vivian’s guidance that he was able to find the right spots.

However, this action did seem a bit strange to an onlooker.

Little Ya and Lin Hai both looked at Mu You with odd expressions. Lin Hai was even more uncomfortable, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, "Master, release your hand quickly, I’m really not that kind of person..."

"Don’t move!"

As a result, Mu You glared at him and Lin Hai immediately gave up struggling.

After infusing some magic power, Mu You noticed that Vivian’s movements had changed slightly. She was no longer looking at the other party’s palm, so he then let go of Lin Hai: "How’s that?"

"Sigh..."

Vivian let out a breath and whispered a few words to him.

After listening, Mu You’s expression changed slightly and he looked at Lin Hai in surprise, asking, "Is there an elderly family member of yours who is seriously ill and at death’s door?"

"Huh?" Lin Hai was taken aback and blurted out, "How do you know?"

Then he thought for a moment and didn’t hide it anymore, "Yes, my grandma is seriously ill. The doctor said she can’t hold on for much longer. My sister has been taking care of her at home recently so she couldn’t come..."

So that’s it!

Mu You was not surprised. After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Has your grandmother got a ring with a Pisces emblem engraved on it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hai’s face changed and he straightway stood up, shaking his head quickly, "No, I have no idea what you’re talking about."

Mu You found it amusing, as Lin Hai’s reaction was clearly overcompensating.

"Alright, don’t be scared, I’m not asking this to harm you, take me to your house to have a look."

Through Vivian’s explanation, Mu You understood why the successor of Pisces hadn’t appeared at the secret technique conference. It turned out that Pisces was still alive and had even come to Earth.

Pisces not only survived, but also set up a family on Earth, with his own descendants.

And Lin Hai was one of Pisces’ descendants.

"Ah, well..." Lin Hai didn’t expect Mu You to suddenly propose to visit his house, and was at a loss for what to do.

"If I say that I can save your grandma, would you believe me?" Mu You said.

"What? Master, are you serious?" Lin Hai looked at Mu You in shock.

"If you don’t believe me, forget it."

"I believe, I believe you! Master, come with me, I’ll go get the car now!" Lin Hai quickly changed his tune, and ran out the door in a hurry.

"Little Ya, watch the store. I’ll be out for a while." Mu You also left the store, reminding Little Ya before he left.
