Chapter 724 Gratitude
With the War King awakened, Tang Wan finally felt completely at ease.

She threw herself back into making the space cosmetics and worked on it for two days.

That day, she was mixing a face cream when she suddenly received a call from Boss Wan.

"Master, Young Master Gao is here. He says a friend of his is in a difficult situation and would like to ask you to help take a look," came Boss Wan's voice from the other end of the bell.

"Did Young Master Gao say what the situation is?" Tang Wan put down her work and asked calmly.

“I asked, but Young Master Gao didn’t go into details.” Boss Wan paused for a moment, then continued, “Young Master Gao only said that his friend’s matter was private and he couldn’t elaborate. He wanted his friend to explain the situation directly to you.”

After a moment's thought, Tang Wan felt that since Young Master Gao was being so cautious, there must be some hidden reason or something that was inconvenient to disclose.

She glanced down at the face cream she had almost finished making and said, "Alright, I'm almost done with work today. Tell Young Master Gao that I'm going to the consulting shop tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM). Please ask Young Master Gao to come and pick me up so we can go to his friend's place together."

"Okay, see you tomorrow!" Boss Wan happily agreed.

After hanging the bell, Tang Wan poured the face cream she had just made into an exquisite porcelain bottle.

After doing all that, she suddenly remembered something and immediately contacted Er Ya.

"Er Ya, are you there?" Tang Wan's voice rang out, neither loud nor soft.

“Yes, Master!” Er Ya replied quickly.

"Has the War King been drinking the spiritual spring water these past few days?" Tang Wan asked directly, revealing the purpose of this contact.

Er Ya sounded guilty: "Ah! Master, I'm sorry, I forgot these past few days! I just had the guards wipe the War King's body with the spiritual spring water for two days in a row. After the black aura almost disappeared, I stopped wiping my body with the spiritual spring water."

Er Ya only remembered that she had completely forgotten about this matter these past few days when Tang Wan asked her this question, and she felt very guilty.

Since she was in the space, she naturally knew that the spiritual spring water had a conditioning effect on ordinary people.

These past few days, all our attention has been focused on when the War King will recover and when he will regain consciousness, completely forgetting about the effects of the spiritual spring water.

"It's alright! He was unconscious before, so it was inconvenient for him to drink. Now that he has woken up, from today onwards, let him drink a cup of spiritual spring water every day. The spiritual spring water can restore his vitality and accelerate his body's recovery!" Tang Wan did not blame Er Ya, but instructed her.

"Yes, Master! Yes, Master! Er Ya has remembered!" Er Ya replied solemnly.

……

The next morning, after Tang Wan finished dealing with her family matters, she asked Ding Li to take her to the fortune-telling shop.

Tang Wan arrived on time as agreed.

Upon closer inspection, they saw that Young Master Gao was already waiting in the shop.

Upon seeing Tang Wan, Young Master Gao immediately stood up to greet her, his face bearing his usual gentle smile.

"Master, thank you for making this trip in person." Young Master Gao bowed and said politely.

“Young Master Gao, there’s no need for you to be so polite.” Tang Wan nodded slightly. “Let’s not delay, let’s set off now.”

"Alright, the carriage is waiting outside," Young Master Gao replied with a smile, stepping slightly to lead the way.

On the carriage, Tang Wan asked a few simple questions about the situation of Young Master Gao's friend's family.

Knowing that the young master Gao's friend's surname was Lin, that his family had been in business for generations, that his father had passed away but his mother was still alive, and that it was his younger brother who had been involved in the incident, the carriage drove out of the city and stopped in front of a rather grand mansion about half an hour later.

A plaque reading "Lin Mansion" hangs above the main gate.

Clearly, the family of Mr. Gao's friend is also a business family.

The master of the Lin family mansion, a man around thirty years old with a refined appearance but an unconcealed worry, was already waiting at the gate.

Upon seeing Young Master Gao and Tang Wan alight from the car, he quickly stepped forward to greet them.

"Brother Gao! This must be the master? I've heard so much about you! My name is Lin Wenyuan. Thank you for making this trip, Master!" Lin Wenyuan bowed and spoke earnestly.

"Young Master Lin, there's no need for such formalities." Tang Wan offered a slight gesture of support, her gaze sweeping over the worried look on Lin Wenyuan's brow. "Please, Young Master Lin, tell me frankly, what exactly is the situation with your brother?"

On the carriage, Tang Wan already knew that Young Master Lin's younger brother had gotten into trouble.

Therefore, as soon as Tang Wan met Lin Wenyuan, she inquired about his younger brother's situation.

She wanted to know the details and resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Lin Wenyuan sighed and didn't speak immediately.

Instead, he led Tang Wan and Young Master Gao to sit down in the main hall.

Then, Lin Wenyuan dismissed the servants before speaking with a worried expression: "Master, it's like this. I have a younger brother named Lin Wenbin, who just turned sixteen this year. This child has never liked the way of commerce since he was a child, and is only devoted to the classics. He studies at 'Qingsong Academy' thirty miles away."

He paused, his tone growing increasingly heavy: "Five days ago, during the weekend, I sent a carriage to pick him up, but the driver waited until the academy was closed and still couldn't find him! When the driver went in to inquire, the academy's gatekeeper and several of his classmates who knew him well all said that he had packed his books around noon, saying that there was an emergency at home and he had left in a hurry!"

Lin Wenyuan's voice trembled involuntarily: "When I received the news, I was stunned! When did my family ever have an emergency that required him to come? I immediately sent people to search for him, and I also sent people to inquire in places he might be, including relatives' and friends' homes, the bookstores and teahouses he frequented... For five whole days, there was no news at all! A living person, as if he had vanished into thin air!"

His hands clenched tightly, his knuckles white, his eyes filled with anxiety and fear: "Master, Wenbin is gentle by nature, never makes enemies, and would never run away from home without a reason. I am truly worried that something bad has happened to him! In desperation, I was planning to report to the authorities when I met Brother Gao, and learned of your extraordinary abilities. I beg you, Master... to use your supernatural powers to help me find my poor brother! I will spare no effort, no matter the cost, as long as I can find Wenxuan!"

As he spoke, Lin Wenxuan was about to rise and bow.

Tang Wan quickly stopped her.

She frowned slightly; Lin Wenxuan's matter was indeed suspicious.

A young scholar, eager to learn, disappeared after leaving the academy on a ten-day break. His classmates and the gatekeeper all saw him leave on his own, claiming that "there was an emergency at home," but his family knew nothing about it.

Tang Wan calmly advised, "Young Master Lin, don't be anxious. Write down your younger brother's birth date and time first, and I'll calculate the approximate location and whether it's safe later."

Young Master Lin was overjoyed and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Master. I am deeply grateful!"

Tang Wan raised her hand and said calmly, "No need to be polite. It is my duty to do what I am entrusted with. However, the divination can only give a rough estimate. We will need to discuss the specifics later."

“Alright, I understand! Thank you, Master!” Lin Wenyuan stood up and bowed to Tang Wan again to express his gratitude.

Tang Wan offered a helping hand, and Lin Wenyuan stood up and said, "Master, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Lin Wenyuan went to write down Lin Wenbin's birth date and time, while Tang Wan took out her work treasures, copper coins and a tortoise shell, from her sleeve.

This divination method is the most accurate.
