Chapter 795: Physiognomist

~8 min read 1,410 words

The Ye family's ancestral grave has always been managed extremely strictly.

According to the Ye family's regulations, except for direct relatives, collateral blood relatives who want to come to the ancestral grave to worship must be allowed by the Ye family.

The requirements for outsiders are even stricter.

It must be a family or individual with a deep origin with the Ye family to be allowed to enter.

Like Gu Yanzhong, he is a sworn brother of Ye Changying, so it is certain that their family of three will be approved to come to worship.

However, his entourage does not have the qualification to approach the Ye family's ancestral grave.

In short, it's three words: not worthy.

Every person buried here in the Ye family is a dragon and phoenix among people when placed outside. How can they be qualified to worship by drivers, entourage, and assistants?

Not to mention other people's servants, even the Ye family's servants and the Ye family's security here are not qualified to enter the mausoleum area.

This area is cleaned and maintained by special personnel three times every morning, noon, and evening, and those responsible for cleaning and maintenance are not the Ye family's servants, but the Ye family's collateral relatives.

Of course, even if it is a collateral relative, it must be someone with the surname Ye.

Therefore, the security personnel stopped Ye Chen, naturally because of this reason.

Gu Yanzhong saw that the other party wanted to stop Ye Chen and immediately said, "Young man, I have just recovered from a serious illness and still have some sequelae, so I am really inconvenient to move. Let my driver help me up. In the past, your Ye family's ancestral grave was not so strict, and the entourage could accompany you in."

The security personnel looked apologetic, but his tone was very firm, "Sorry, Mr. Gu, this matter really cannot be accommodated. Otherwise, my job will not be saved. So please forgive me."

Gu Yanzhong became anxious all of a sudden.

He brought Ye Chen here specifically to let him worship his parents in person. Ye Chen didn't want to expose his identity, so he could only disguise himself as a driver, but he didn't expect that the management of Mount Ye Ling was so strict now.

This chairman of the Gu Group even used a pleading tone to this security personnel, "Young man, I am indeed inconvenient, please look at the face of my relationship with the Ye family and make an exception for me. You don't want to see me lose my footing later and roll down the stone steps, right?"

The security personnel saw this and hurriedly bowed deeply, "Mr. Gu, this matter really cannot be accommodated. Otherwise, my job will not be saved. So please forgive me."

Gu Yanzhong was a bit annoyed and asked with some anger, "Your regulations are too inhuman, right? Our two families are family friends, how come I am like an outsider?"

The security personnel said awkwardly, "Mr. Gu, to tell you the truth, this rule was set by the old physiognomist. The head of the family treats the old physiognomist's words as a golden rule, so we must strictly abide by them and not violate them. Please forgive me!"

Gu Yanzhong was a bit angry, and blurted out, "Then this is not accommodating, right? Do you want me to call the old man of the Ye family now?"

The security personnel hurriedly nodded and said, "Mr. Gu, you should give the head of the family a call. If the head of the family allows it, I will not do any obstruction!"

Gu Yanzhong knew that he couldn't convince the other party, so he sighed and said, "Fine, fine, fine, I will call the old man of the Ye family."

Although he said so, he had no bottom in his heart.

He knew about the Ye family's affairs and knew that the Ye family moved their ancestral grave to Mount Ye Ling because of the guidance of a master. That master should be the old physiognomist in the mouth of this security personnel.

If it was a request from this old physiognomist, he believed that for the sake of his family's geomantic omen, the old man would never open any back door for himself.

Could it be that today he couldn't let Ye Chen worship his parents in person?

He had been separated from his parents for eighteen years!

Ye Chen was also anxious at this time.

Actually, since he got the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra", he hadn't had this kind of panic and urgency for a long time.

His parents were buried in one of the magnificent mausoleum groups not far away. He only needed to step on these hundred-plus stone steps, and he could go to his parents' grave to worship, fulfilling his biggest dream for eighteen years.

However, if these people wouldn't let him go up, could he kill his way up?

Or, must he reveal his identity to the Ye family?

However, although that would allow him to worship his parents in a justified manner, after that, the real trouble would be waiting for him.

Just then, a loud voice sounded, "Let him go up!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man who was old and decrepit, with white hair, beard, and eyebrows, walking slowly with a cane.

When Ye Chen saw this person, he felt that he should be a hundred years old. Although he was very old, his walking posture was surprisingly steady with the help of the cane.

It is now the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the old man only wore a white Tang suit, but he couldn't see any coldness in him.

And his cane seemed to be a bit different.

Ye Chen had seen many old people's canes, and most of them were carved with dragon heads, but this cane of his was carved with a python.

After looking at the other party for a few times, Ye Chen couldn't help but think in his heart: "Could it be that this person is the old Chinese-American geomantic master that Uncle Gu said the Ye family invited from the United States?"

Subsequently, he couldn't help but think: "Why did he agree to let me go up? Could it be that he saw through my identity? Could it be that his insight is so strong? Or does he have any other way to figure out my identity?"

Just when he couldn't figure out the reason, the security person in charge asked in surprise, "Old Physiognomist, didn't you say that no one is allowed to go up except for the Ye family's close friends?"

The old man smiled slightly, looked at Ye Chen and said, "He, he is not an outsider."

The security personnel were even more confused, "Old Physiognomist, what do you mean? I don't understand."

The old man laughed, "I see that this person should have a deep origin with the Ye family in his previous life, so he is not an outsider. Let him go up."

"Deep origin in previous life?" The security personnel naturally didn't believe it, but thinking that this kind of thing as geomancy is very mysterious, maybe this thing is possible.

Therefore, he said awkwardly, "Old Physiognomist, the meaning of the head of the family is..."

The old man asked back, "Did your head of the family say that as long as I am here, everything here is up to me?"

The security personnel hurriedly said respectfully, "The head of the family did say so!"

The old man asked again, "Then did your head of the family say that even if I let you tear down the Ye family's ancestral grave, you are not allowed to disobey?"

The security personnel were even more respectful, "The head of the family did say so!"

The old man nodded and asked, "Then I let him go up, do you have any opinion?"

The security personnel stepped back subconsciously and said respectfully, "Back to the Old Physiognomist, I have no opinion! Everything is based on your meaning!"

Only then did the old man nod with satisfaction and smile, and then made a gesture of invitation to Ye Chen, saying, "This gentleman, please." ===== CHAPTER 796 =====

The old man nodded with a satisfied smile, then made a gesture of invitation to Ye Chen and said, "This gentleman, please."
