Chapter 76

Around three o’clock in the afternoon, Qin Yanan drove her Cayenne with Tang Feng to a tea house called Lu Yu Tea House.

She had arranged to meet with Mrs. Shen there beforehand.

It was also from her that Tang Feng learned that Mrs. Shen was named Xi Shuqin, who had been the top humanities scholar in South Yue Province’s college entrance examination, truly a great talent.

Perhaps it was for this reason that she ended up with Shen Tianyan, who is skilled in cultural relics and antiques.

The couple had been married for over a decade and remained as loving as ever, causing envy among others.

Qin Yanan parked the car and led Tang Feng into the Lu Yu Tea House.

The tea house was exquisitely decorated, combining ancient charm with modern fashionable elements.

According to Qin Yanan, even a casual pot of tea here cost several hundred.

Tang Feng, hearing this, could only marvel at how easily the rich earn their money.

When the two arrived at the private room they had reserved, Mrs. Shen was already sitting inside.

Although she was nearly forty, her appearance remained very beautiful.

Especially wearing a light blue cheongsam, she exuded an elegant temperament.

“Mrs. Shen, hello, I am the owner of Ya Garden, Qin Yanan. We have met before at Mr. Wang’s gathering.”

Qin Yanan took the initiative to walk forward and extend her hand.

Xi Shuqin also gracefully rose to her feet and shook her hand, “Mrs. Qin, hello. You are the famous beauty of the Zhonghai Antique Circle. I’ve long heard of your reputation.”

The two beauties complimented each other on their businesses, leaving Tang Feng on the sidelines.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with her, Qin Yanan remembered to introduce him, “This is Tang Feng, our chief appraiser at Ya Garden.”

“Mr. Tang, hello.”

“Mrs. Shen, hello.”

Xi Shuqin and Tang Feng shook hands.

Then, they each took their seats.

“Mrs. Qin, I heard from friends that you were going to introduce me to a master of physiognomy. When will the master be arriving?”

Xi Shuqin sipped her tea and glanced outside, and seeing that no one else was coming in, she took the liberty to ask.

Qin Yanan pointed toward Tang Feng, “Mr. Tang comes from Kunlun Mountain…”

She stopped mid-sentence, suddenly unable to recall Tang Feng’s school, and had to turn to look at him.

“Heavenly Profound Sect.” Tang Feng reminded her without batting an eyelid.

“Ah, right, the seventy-second generation descendant of the Heavenly Profound Sect from Kunlun Mountain, with extraordinary skills in physiognomy, very brilliant,” Qin Yanan said, her heart pounding.

She had talked up a big game, and if this guy dropped the ball, it would be her face on the line.

Having heard her introduction, Xi Shuqin immediately turned her gaze to Tang Feng, her face showing skepticism, “You’re a master of physiognomy?”

Tang Feng bowed modestly, “I dare not claim to be a master, just call me Tang.”

Xi Shuqin took another sip of her tea, clearly concealing something.

The room fell silent for a full three seconds before she put down her teacup, “Mrs. Qin, I don’t believe I have ever offended you, have I?”

Qin Yanan was taken aback, “No, what do you mean by that?”

Xi Shuqin’s expression did not betray her emotions, “Since I have not offended you, why would you make a fool of me?”

Seeing her misunderstanding, Qin Yanan hurriedly explained, “Mrs. Shen, you’ve got it wrong, I really wasn’t making fun of you. Tang Feng is truly skilled in Physiognomy. This afternoon…”

“I’m sorry, I have another appointment this afternoon. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now,” Xi Shuqin said, not wanting to hear her explanation. She picked up her bag from beside her and turned to leave.

“Hurry up and speak,” Qin Yanan said, feeling a sense of urgency and pushed Tang Feng.

But Tang Feng calmly picked up his teacup and brought it to his nose to smell, with a look of deep enjoyment on his face.

It wasn’t until Xi Shuqin was about to step out of the door that he slowly began to speak, “If I’m not mistaken, Mrs. Shen has been suffering from insomnia for eight days now, right?”

Xi Shuqin had one foot out the door, and when she heard his words, she stopped as if she had suddenly hit the brakes, hanging her foot in mid-air.

After pausing for about two seconds, she slowly retracted her foot, looking at Tang Feng with astonishment and uncertainty, “How did you know I have insomnia?”

She was truly surprised.

Because not even her husband, Shen Tianyan, knew about her insomnia.

And Tang Feng had accurately stated the number of days she had been suffering from it.

This was a bit frightening.

Qin Yanan was also taken aback.

Seeing Mrs. Shen’s expression, she knew Tang Feng had got it right.

Was this guy’s Physiognomy Skill really that impressive?

To even calculate how many days someone has been suffering from insomnia?

Instead of immediately answering, Tang Feng drained the teacup and then nodded his chin towards the chair opposite to him, “Sit down and let’s talk.”

Xi Shuqin hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she complied and sat down again, “Can you tell me now?”

Tang Feng pretended to carefully scrutinize her face, “These past few days, Mrs. Shen, you must have felt restless, experiencing loss of appetite and sleepless nights, am I correct?”

Xi Shuqin nodded repeatedly, “Exactly, since last week, I’ve been feeling extremely anxious, always having a bad premonition but unable to pin down why.”

“If I’m not wrong, you have also been having frequent nightmares and often wake up startled. Is that correct?”

Tang Feng continued to put on an air of a sage who sees through everything, which would have been more convincing if he didn’t look so youthful. Otherwise, he would really seem like a half-immortal.

“Absolutely, you’re right. Recently, I’ve only managed to sleep late into the night and then get scared awake by nightmares soon after, something I’ve never experienced before,” Xi Shuqin confirmed again.

Xi Shuqin once more nodded in confirmation, “Since you could discern my situation, surely you must have a way to help me, right?”

Her gaze was inquisitive but also scrutinizing.

Clearly, she still wasn’t completely convinced by his words.

With a slight smile on his lips, Tang Feng picked up the teapot and poured himself another cup of tea, leisurely drinking, “Hmm? The tea seems to have cooled a bit.”

Xi Shuqin had no choice but to call the waiter and request the best Longjing tea.

The waiter quickly brought the tea.

Xi Shuqin personally poured him a cup, “Mr. Tang, this is the finest Longjing from before the rains, please enjoy.”

Tang Feng took a sip from the cup and his face suddenly darkened. He slammed the teacup down onto the table.

“Mrs. Shen, are you treating me like some country bumpkin who hasn’t seen the world?” he burst out unexpectedly, startling Qin Yanan beside him.

It was unclear whether he was genuinely angry or just putting on an act.
