Chapter: 221

"What... what..." Quan Gang's entire body was covered in cold sweat, and he quickly bowed: "The master is truly a godlike being! Please save my family, no matter how much money it takes. I'll be willing to pay the price."

"Saving one life is better than building seven levels of pagodas," said the master. "I've come today specifically for this purpose."

As the master spoke, he also handed out over 50 talismans: "Have your family members carry these with them at all times, and they will naturally dispel bad omens."

Quan Gang felt grateful and hesitated: "Don't know how much compensation the master wants?"

The master waved his hand: "Resolving bad omens is also a merit, I won't accept any money. But if there's another fake Taoist who comes to swindle you, don't spend a lot of money buying talismans, or else you'll lose your previous gains and your family will be ruined. You have to remember this."

On the side, Qin Ao Dong couldn't help but say: "Second uncle, I've been saying all along that Ye Chen is a scam artist! He took our family's money and didn't know where he was going to spend it! We must recover the money, or else report him as a fraud! Let him spend his days in prison!"

Quan Ao Xue, however, was frowning, thinking, "I don't know why, but I feel like this master looks more like a scam artist."

That Ye Chen, apart from being a bit bad and seemingly lacking emotional intelligence, actually seemed not that bad many times, and could give people an enigmatic feeling, as if he were a deep lake with no visible bottom.

"Shut up." Quan Gang glared at Qin Ao Dong and turned respectfully to the master: "Thank you for your guidance, I will definitely pay attention in the future."

The master nodded meaningfully and got up to leave.

As soon as the master walked away, Qin Ao Dong immediately opened his mouth and said: "Second uncle, this master is a renowned master of the Xuan Ji Tang, which is far beyond Ye Chen's level. This time, the master has come out to help us, and we've solved all our problems without spending a penny!"

"Upon parting with the master, Ye Chen cheated us out of a significant amount of money. He spent one billion yuan to buy a worthless shell! This is nothing short of swindling! You too should be careful about giving him so much money. If this gets out, the people in Jinling will even call our Qin family foolish!"

Quan Gang fell silent, but his face had already betrayed his doubts.

The master's reputation was indeed very prominent, and the things he just showed me were vividly displayed before my eyes, making it impossible not to believe.

More importantly, the master did not take any money, while Ye Chen spent over a billion yuan... at the auction.

The more I compared them, the more I felt that Ye Chen might be up to some shady business!

Just then, one of our household staff knocked on the door and, after getting my permission, stepped inside.

"The package has arrived, sir."

He handed me a box after speaking.

I scrunched up my face, opened the box, and found a token quietly lying inside.

Upon closer inspection, the token seemed to be just a thin piece of paper, only firecracker-sized, tied with a cheap red string, looking like the souvenirs you'd find at tourist attractions.

He looked at the sender and saw the two characters "Yè Chén" written above.

Then he glanced at the note, which only had a few simple words: "Surprise talisman, hang it in the main hall to break the curse!"

Qin Ao Dong's eyes widened immediately, shouting loudly: "Mother's...! Second uncle, this Yè Chén is treating you like an idiot! Just a broken shell, maybe bought from some street vendor! And he says this can break the curse?"

"Besides, he spent over a billion of our family's money to give us such a thing? Or did he send it through express mail?! He didn't even bother to face us! You say Yè Chén isn't a scoundrel, what could he be then?" JrNovels.com
