Sadly, the previous me had little affection for the Mu Family and spent my days in a daze, just scraping by, waiting for death; it took me a while to recall any of this.
Helping out would have been groping in the dark; this matter had to fall on Qu Shanling’s shoulders.
I used to admire Qu Shanling’s talent for appraising treasures, and after seeing his hand formations, I dared not underestimate him further. This old man might have been a bit of a god-man, but he did have real skills. In the past, it was only because he couldn’t see through the mysteries of the Star Illusion Thousand Mechanism Technique that his Star Divination Skill struggled to improve. Now, with my help, perhaps he truly could become a Divine Fortune Teller.
Previously, I hadn’t believed much in Star Divination either, but with the experience of rebirth and having personally felt too many unbelievable things from the Star Plate, I no longer wholly reject it as I once did. There are just too many incomprehensible things in this matter; one mustn’t be too stubborn and blind oneself.
"Alright, then let him give it a try first; if it doesn’t work out, we can always talk about it later," Mu Nan said, and upon remembering something, suddenly said to me, "By the way, Brother Han Yan, I’ve been thinking of renaming the auction house."
"Oh, alright," I nodded.
"You haven’t even heard what I want to change it to and you’re agreeing," Mu Nan complained. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel✶fire.net
"I know even if you don’t tell me," I said with a mysterious smile.
"Let’s hear what you think then," Mu Nan said, not convinced. He then suddenly remembered my identity as a Star Divination Master and grew frustrated. Just because I’m a Star Divination Master who divines fate and life and death, doesn’t mean I can bully people , does it? If you act this way, I won’t be interested in telling you anything in the future, because you’ll know it all anyways.
"Isn’t it just changing it to the Nanmu Chamber of Commerce? That’s a good name already," I said, trying to suppress a laugh at Mu Nan’s frustrated expression. Of course, I guessed that Mu Nan thought I knew he wanted to change the name because I was a Star Divination Master. But in fact, how could I guess? It was only due to the reasons from my previous life that I knew. Watching Mu Nan’s exaggerated frustration, I couldn’t help but find some joy.
I have to say, the role of a Star Divination Master, or god-man, actually suits Lady Mu quite well—it greatly satisfies her mischievous urge to bully men and torment women.
"Ha ha, you’re wrong this time; it’s not Nanmu Chamber of Commerce, but Nanyan Commerce," Mu Nan said, his frustration instantly dissipating into proud laughter.
"Nanyan Commerce, why are you dragging me into this?" I asked, surprised. The course of history seemed to have diverted once again. Along with surprise, there was also a touch of emotion; I had a vague idea of why Mu Nan was doing this.
"I’ve thought it over. Now that the Nanmu Auction has formed a contract with Long Yan Academy, with Senior Qu as an esteemed presence, not changing the name would be too stingy, making us appear unworthy of Long Yan Academy. Whether it’s Long Yan Academy or Senior Qu, they actually came to notice Nanmu Auction because of you, Brother Han Yan. Frankly, your contribution is the greatest. Once it’s renamed as a commerce, half will be yours, half mine," Mu Nan explained.
"No, the Nanmu Auction is your hard work; I cannot take advantage of you," I firmly opposed.
If it weren’t for my rebirth altering some events, Mu Nan should have obtained the Dragon Blood Stone earlier, and the Nanmu Auction could have gained renown on its own, eventually growing into one of Anyun Country’s most influential Chambers of Commerce.
Now, although I have salvaged the situation and helped the Nanmu Auction move along its original track, I have no wish to hog the credit, nor to take away the benefits that rightfully belong to Nanmu.
"How can it be taking advantage when it’s your achievement?" Mu Nan urged anxiously.
