Chapter 89: Playing Tricks and Deception
“What, a charlatan?”
Qin Gang was taken aback, stunned for a moment.
Recently, the only person who had been consulted for feng shui by the Qin family was Ye Chen.
Qin Gang had great faith in Ye Chen and quickly said, “Master, could it be that you are mistaken? There was indeed a Master Ye who helped me resolve some issues before, and his methods were quite effective. He shouldn’t be a charlatan.”
Master Yu scoffed coldly and said, “Those who play tricks and deceive are best at fooling the ignorant. If you’re willing to believe him, then I shall take my leave!”
“Master Yu, please stay.” Qin Gang panicked and quickly stopped him. “Please enlighten me, what exactly is wrong with Master Ye’s methods?”
Without looking up, Master Yu pointed into the hall and said, “Bring me a bowl of water.”
Qin Gang hurriedly ordered someone to bring a bowl of clear water.
Master Yu took the water, muttering incantations, and drew several symbols on the water’s surface before flicking the water onto Qin Gang’s eyelids.
As soon as Qin Gang opened his eyes, he was suddenly horrified and stumbled back.
“Master, what… what is this…”
He was shocked to see that a layer of eerie black smoke enveloped his home!
Moreover, above the heads of the Qin family members, strands of gray death energy were rising, and the clan members looked pale, resembling a group of zombies.
Master Yu lightly snorted, “I have opened your heavenly eye; what you see is the yin energy, and your family members are surrounded by death energy. Their lives are numbered.”
Qin Gang was so frightened that he fell back into his chair, mumbling, “What… what should we do?”
“Don’t worry, I came today because it is fate between us.”
Master Yu took out a peace talisman and casually handed it to a Qin family member.
Qin Gang immediately saw that the talisman emitted a faint golden light, which quickly diluted the death energy above the clan member’s head.
Master Yu waved his hand in front of Qin Gang, and everything he had seen instantly vanished, returning to normal.
“This… this…” Qin Gang was drenched in cold sweat and quickly bowed, “Master, you truly are a celestial being! Please save my Qin family; no matter the cost, I am willing to pay.”
“Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I came today for this matter.”
As Master Yu spoke, he took out dozens of peace talismans and handed them over. “Have your family members carry them, and they will naturally dispel the bad luck.”
Qin Gang gratefully accepted them and hesitated, “May I ask how much you require as compensation, Master?”
Master Yu waved his hand dismissively, “Dispelling bad luck is also a merit; I do not charge a penny. However, if any charlatans come to deceive you and make you spend heavily on magical tools, you must not accept them. The consequences could be dire, leading to the ruin of your family. Remember this well.”
Beside them, Qin Ao Dong couldn’t help but speak up, “Second Uncle, I’ve said it before: Ye Chen is a fraud! He took our family’s money and who knows where he’s off enjoying himself! We must get the money back; otherwise, we should sue him for fraud! Let him spend his life in prison!”
Qin Ao Xue frowned, thinking to herself that for some reason, she felt that Master Yu seemed more like a fraud.
As for Ye Chen, aside from being a bit mischievous and seemingly lacking emotional intelligence, he didn’t seem that bad. Many times, he gave off an air of profound mystery, like a bottomless lake.
“Shut up.” Qin Gang glared at Qin Ao Dong and turned to Master Yu respectfully, saying, “Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will certainly be cautious in the future.”
Master Yu nodded meaningfully and stood up to leave.
As soon as Master Yu left, Qin Ao Dong immediately spoke up, “Second Uncle, Master Yu is a renowned master from the Xuanji Hall; how can a street-level fraud like Ye Chen compare? With Master Yu’s intervention, all our family’s problems will be resolved without spending a dime!”
“Master Yu charges nothing, but Ye Chen has swindled us out of a lot of money. He spent over a hundred million just to buy a broken shell! This is outright fraud! How could you give him so much money? If this gets out, people in Jinling will call our Qin family fools!”
Qin Gang fell silent, but his face showed signs of doubt.
Master Yu’s reputation was indeed impressive, and the things he had just shown him were vivid in his mind, making it hard not to believe.
More importantly, Master Yu charged nothing, while Ye Chen had spent over a hundred million at the auction…
The more he compared, the more he felt that Ye Chen might indeed be up to something!
At that moment, a steward from the Qin family knocked on the door and, after receiving permission from Qin Gang, stepped inside.
“Mr. Qin, you have a package.”
After speaking, he handed over a cardboard box.
Qin Gang frowned and opened the box, discovering a token lying quietly inside.
Upon closer inspection, the token appeared to be thin, about the size of a matchbox, strung with a cheap red cord, looking just like a trinket from a tourist spot.
Qin Gang glanced at the sender’s name, which read “Ye Chen.”
Looking at the note, it simply stated: “Shock Talisman, hang it in the main hall to dispel bad luck!”
As soon as Qin Ao Dong saw it, he immediately cursed, “Damn it, Second Uncle, this Ye Chen is treating you like a fool! Just this broken shell, he probably bought it from some street vendor! And he claims it can dispel bad luck?”
“And he spent over a hundred million of our family’s money just to give us this? He didn’t even bother to meet you face to face! If this Ye Chen isn’t a fraud, then what is he?”
Qin Ao Dong was furious, saying, “Second Uncle, let’s take people to find Ye Chen and get our money back! Otherwise, if he runs away, our losses will be too great!”
“Shut up and let me think.” Qin Gang rubbed his forehead, looking at the Shock Talisman; he truly couldn’t see anything miraculous about it.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Gang gathered the Qin family members and said with a grim face, “This concerns the life and death of the Qin family; it is a serious matter. I will go find Ye Chen tomorrow to get to the bottom of this! You all wear Master Yu’s peace talismans and do not take them off casually!”
“Yes!”
“Second Uncle, I want to go too!” Qin Ao Dong gritted his teeth. “This Ye is a real pain; now that I’ve caught his tail, I must break his legs myself.”
“Just you? Can you even fight?”
Qin Gang frowned and said, “But if you really want to go, take a few more bodyguards with you and find out Ye Chen’s whereabouts tomorrow, just in case.”
After a pause, he added sternly, “Remember, I’m not telling you to go find trouble with Ye Chen; I’m worried you’ll act recklessly and get beaten!”
Qin Ao Dong was delighted and immediately said, “Understood.”
Qin Gang coldly stated, “Though my Qin family is not a top-tier family, we will not allow others to bully us. If someone dares to offend me, I will retaliate! I must get to the bottom of this matter. If Ye Chen is truly a fraud, I will not spare him!”
