Chapter 16

"Ah?" Seeing Li Fu's actions, Yang Yan was about to go mad.

As a scion of a prestigious family, he naturally knew Li Fu's status in Luoshui City. Even if he couldn't be on par with the heads of the four major families, he was almost there!

A person of such status would always be treated as a VIP wherever they went, and even the city lord would give him some face. Now, he had been persuaded to kneel by Nie Yun in less than ten sentences...

Is this... real?

The previous Nie Yun was somewhat introverted. How could he seem like a completely different person after just a few days?

"Ah, good deeds bring good results. Since you are begging so desperately, alright!" Nie Yun extended his hand to pull Li Fu up, then looked around and continued, "Judging by the layout of your room, your family must have a preponderance of yin over yang. If this continues, you will surely be tormented to death by yin energy within three years! Hmm? This room is slightly to the southeast. If I'm not mistaken, your current mistress should be in this southeastern direction, right?"

When Li Fu was stripped and thrown out by his wife, the place where his mistress was hiding was known to everyone, just five hundred meters southeast of here. Nie Yun, familiar with the future, spoke off the cuff, but to Li Fu, it was no less than a bombshell!

Only he knew the hiding place of his mistress, yet this old man had deduced it. Any lingering doubts in his heart were completely dispelled!

It seemed that this old man was truly his savior, a divine old immortal!

"You're right. Please, Great Immortal, teach me how to resolve this!" Understanding this, Li Fu's tone and address changed.

"Your problem isn't unsolvable. Setting up a 'Reversal and Fate-Changing Array' will do, but the array base is quite difficult to arrange..." Nie Yun furrowed his brows.

"'Reversal and Fate-Changing Array'? Great Immortal, will it change my fate?" Li Fu asked urgently.

"Fate is determined by heaven; how can it be changed!" Nie Yun waved his hand. "My array can transform yin and yang, gradually turning yin energy into yang energy, and completely reversing your and your wife's positions!"

"What? Reversing my and my wife's positions? That's great, Great Immortal! No matter how difficult the array base is, as long as you say it, I will do it without hesitation!"

Li Fu shouted excitedly.

In his view, if he could truly reverse his and his wife's positions, wow, that would be amazing!

"The array base requires gold to be set up. Eighty-one array bases, at least eight hundred and ten gold bars!" Nie Yun shook his head. "Gold represents wealth and righteousness. Only by using gold as the array base can the imbalance of yin and yang be eliminated. Of course, once the array is set up, you can take the gold bars back. However, finding so many gold bars is quite difficult!"

"Eight hundred and ten gold bars? Great Immortal, you worry too much. I, Li Fu, can't find other things, but we are a money house. Eight hundred and ten gold bars are no problem!" Li Fu, hearing that the "Great Immortal" would only use the gold bars for the array and not take them away, said excitedly, fearing that the other party would change his mind.

"You have them? Alright, then let's set up the array in your courtyard. I can draw the array diagram, and you can adjust it yourself. After all, gold represents wealth, and if a few bars are missing, I can't explain it!"

Nie Yun waved his hand.

"Great Immortal, what are you saying? Since you're setting up the array, I naturally trust you. Besides, I don't understand arrays. If I place them incorrectly, it would be counterproductive!" Hearing the "old man" say this, Li Fu felt even more reassured and said hurriedly.

"Alright then! However, I need to communicate with the earth's spiritual energy when setting up the array. At this time, it's most taboo for others to disturb me. After the gold bars are moved here, no one should come to disturb me for an hour, or all efforts will be in vain. For me, it's just a day's rest, but if the house's fortune is ruined, you will surely suffer the consequences!"

Nie Yun frowned, thought for a moment, and finally sighed, "Ah, I think it's better to give up. Setting up such a large array will cost me strength and lifespan, and it's not worth it... Besides, leaving so much gold here, you probably won't be at ease..."

"Great Immortal, what are you saying? I, Li Fu, naturally trust you. Great Immortal, don't refuse. I will do as you say immediately and get it done quickly!"

Li Fu, fearing that the "Great Immortal" would leave, hurriedly rushed to the money house's vault, afraid that any delay would make the "immortal" unhappy and leave...

"Cough, Nie Yun, you... who taught you this trick?"

Seeing no one in the courtyard, Yang Yan finally couldn't help but cough and whisper.

He had seen people cheat before, but never such a brilliant cheat!

Cheating to the point where the other party was willing to hand over the gold bars, it was truly remarkable!

Living with Nie Yun for several years, how did he not notice this talent before...

"Alright, let's not talk about it. Quickly go out and prepare four identical carriages, all filled with stones, and wait outside!" Nie Yun chuckled and instructed, not answering the other's question.

What hasn't a three-hundred-year-old monster seen? Honestly, this cheating method isn't particularly clever. If the world's greatest thief, Qian Huan, were here, he wouldn't even need to disguise himself to cheat you; you would count the money for him.

"Yes!" Yang Yan, now in awe of Nie Yun, leaped out of the courtyard and hurried to do as instructed.

While he was busy, Li Fu was also busy. With the help of a dozen subordinates, he piled up the gold bars in less than half an hour, exactly eight hundred and ten!

The price of gold is a hundred times that of silver, and each gold bar weighs ten pounds. Eight hundred and ten gold bars are equivalent to eighty-one thousand taels, worth eight hundred thousand taels of silver. Even with Li Fu's wealth, these gold bars had emptied the inventory, and even the money stored by many customers had been taken!

Li Fu's subordinates didn't know what the boss was doing with these gold bars, but they dared not disobey his orders and had to keep moving them back and forth.

"Great Immortal, I have moved all the gold bars. What do you think?" Li Fu, wiping the sweat from his forehead, asked excitedly.

"Ha ha, since you are so sincere, I will set up the array now. You and the others wait outside. Remember, no one should disturb me for an hour, or the consequences will be on you!"

Nie Yun stood with his hands behind his back, spotless. Just by his appearance, he looked like a typical hermit sage.

"Yes, everything is up to Great Immortal!"

Li Fu slowly retreated and closed the courtyard gate.

.....................

"As long as the Great Immortal helps me change my luck, the position of that tigress and mine will be reversed. I'll see how I deal with that bitch!"

Sitting in the room, Li Fu drank tea, feeling increasingly happy.

He was a bit depressed when he first came to the money house, but he never expected that good deeds would bring good results. Such a kind Great Immortal was hard to find...

While he was daydreaming about how he would deal with the tigress at home after turning the tables, he suddenly felt a pain in his ear and stood up, then heard a voice that made him tremble.

"Whose position do you want to reverse? Which bitch do you want to deal with? Speak up!"

"Ah..." Hearing this voice, he knew exactly who it was. His face turned pale, and he hurriedly shouted, "Madam, please calm down, I... I was just talking nonsense!"

"Talking nonsense? Hmph, I heard from the subordinates that you emptied the vault. What are you up to?" A large, rough woman, resembling "Ruhua," roared from not far away.

"Uh... I was afraid the gold would mold, so I took it out to air it..."

Li Fu, realizing that one of his subordinates was a spy, was furious but dared not argue, and quickly made up an excuse.

"Gold mold? I think you're the one who will mold. Should I throw you in the trash to grow some fur? Hurry up and put the gold back!"

"Ruhua" roared.

"Yes... Ah, it's... It's only been half an hour. Can we wait a bit...?" Li Fu, calculating the time, realized it was less than an hour and, remembering the "Great Immortal's" instructions, cautiously negotiated with his wife.

"Wait a bit? Alright, I'll have someone throw you in the trash to air you out..." "Ruhua" roared and slapped Li Fu across the face with her thick arm.

"Alright, alright, I'll go right away..." Facing such a fierce wife, Li Fu was thoroughly afraid. With a grim face, he pushed open the courtyard gate and cautiously walked in, calling, "Great Immortal, Great Immortal..."

However, before he could finish his words, he felt the world spin, and everything went black. "Thud!" He fell to the ground!

"My gold..."

He let out a heart-wrenching scream, like a male wolf that had been raped, his voice piercing the sky.

He saw a hole the size of a carriage in the courtyard wall, and all the gold bars were gone, vanished without a trace!

Seeing this, even if he were stupid, he would know he had been cheated. The so-called "Great Immortal" was just a fraud!

"They took the gold, there must be wheel tracks. Chase them..." Li Fu roared again.
