Chapter 372: Spirits Are Afraid? (1/2)

Lin Mu was looking on at the old priest and was wondering what this was. He knew that he was gonna read his fortune but this seemed to be a bit unusual to him and he hadn't seen this method before. But then again, he didn't even know they did fortune reading in this temple.

Lin Mu had seen this old man before when he scanned the area with his spirit sense and knew that he was one of the late stage qi refining realm priests of the temple. He wasn't afraid that he may try to attack him, no Lin Mu had far too many methods to deal with him.

”This…” The old man said after opening his eyes.

His brows were furrowed as he seemed to be thinking about something. Now even Wu Hei was a bit apprehensive of this and was wondering if there was a problem.

”What's the problem, sir priest?” Wu Hei questioned.

”I… cannot seem to be able to read his fortune. It is as if the ancestral spirits are unwilling, or rather I must say... afraid of revealing his fortune…” The priest said.

”What? What does that mean?” Lin Mu questioned, feeling a bit confused and interested at the same time.

He had honestly not expected anything to come out of this, but now hearing this had made him interested.

”We priests can ask the ancestral spirits in this temple for their help in deciphering the fortune of a person. This cannot be done often and will reduce the power of the spirits for a while. Because of this, we don't do it that much.

But there are times when the ancestral spirits can deny our request. If the person we were trying to read the fortune was a foreigner, then it wouldn't work, as the ancestral spirits would not have any relation with them.

But in your case here, the ancestral spirits are scared… scared of the heaven's will.” The priest answered.

Lin Mu was still confused and didn't fully understand this, but still nodded his head, regardless.

”Well then, thank you for your attempt, sir priest. Your compensation will be sent to the temple at the earliest by tonight.” Wu Hei said, seeing that nothing had come out of it.

Thankfully, their main aim in coming here was already finished and the fortune Reading was merely an excuse.

”No need, lord Wu Hei. I dare not take when even the ancestral spirits are scared. Lest I endure the wrath of heavens.” The old priest hurriedly said before almost running away.

”You two can leave now.” The younger priest said before gesturing to them.

Lin Mu and Wu Hei left the room and made their way to the main hall.
