Chapter 24

Over the next three days, with Huang Yiyi's help, I found a storefront on an old street in Xingzhou City called Anlong Street. This storefront was not in a bustling area but rather in a remote place, and it had previously been used for funeral business, selling incense, candles, and wreaths.

The reason I was looking for a storefront was entirely for fate! Grandpa once said that the I Ching can predict people with a connection, but those who come to seek me are all fated to do so. If it were for money, I would definitely choose a bustling area!

When I opened for business, I didn't do any advertising. First, I had no connections here, and second, I didn't think it was necessary. I just had a meal with Huang Yiyi to thank her for her help over the past few days.

After the meal, Huang Yiyi said excitedly, "Li Yao, how about I be your first customer? Can you read my fortune and tell me what my future boyfriend will be like?"

Huang Yiyi no longer called me Mr. Li. After spending a few days together, I felt it was better for her to call me Li Yao. Calling me Mr. Li made me feel old.

I looked at Huang Yiyi's beautiful features and nodded, saying, "Sure, I'll use your birth date to take a look!"

Huang Yiyi was about to give me her birth date when a car suddenly stopped at the door.

A pretty, big-chested girl with a panicked look on her face ran out of the car. As soon as she saw me, she rushed over and called out, "Mr. Li, Mr. Li, please save my master, please save my master!"

I recognized her; she seemed to be He Zhongtian's apprentice!

"Are you He Zhongtian's apprentice?" I asked the big-chested girl, a bit puzzled.

"Yes! My name is Qin Luye. Mr. Li, please save my master, I beg you to save my master." The girl looked very panicked and fearful.

That day, I saw a dark aura following He Zhongtian, and I knew he hadn't done things cleanly! I had warned him, but he didn't listen and even tried to scare me with a female ghost at night.

Just thinking about He

</di>

Zhongtian's arrogant and condescending attitude when he saw me made me uncomfortable.

Though I am indeed young and inexperienced, I haven't done anything wrong. To be stepped on for no reason and now asked to save him, what do they think I am? A fool?

"What happened to your master?" I asked casually.

Qin Luye said, "My master's body is turning black. Last night, his chest started to turn black! By today, both his legs have turned black! I don't know what's happening, but my master told me to come find you quickly."

"Master, please, save my master!"

Qin Luye was almost in tears as she spoke.

Huang Yiyi, however, was unimpressed and sneered, "Isn't your master very powerful? He's the top expert in Xingzhou City's feng shui and yin-yang field. Why is he coming to Li Yao for help now? If he has the ability, he should solve it himself."

Qin Luye gave Huang Yiyi a pitiful look, wanting to speak but was interrupted by her, "Enough, don't look at me like that. Do you think crying will solve the problem? When you were showing off with your master, did you ever think about today?"

"Miss Huang, my master is really in a bad state! He told me to come find Mr. Li." After speaking, Qin Luye took a step forward and grabbed my arm, pressing her body against my hand.

What the heck! What does Qin Luye mean by this? Is she using a beauty trap?

Although she has some big assets and is quite pretty, I'm not into this kind of thing!

I quickly pushed her hand away and said to Qin Luye, "Enough, don't play these games. Go back and tell your master that if he wants to be treated, he should come himself!"

Does he think that by having his apprentice rub against me a few times, I'll rush to solve his problem? Liu Bei had to visit Zhuge Liang three times in his thatched cottage. You, who have offended me, are so self-important!

"But..." Qin Luye wanted to say more but was interrupted by Huang Yiyi, "Didn't you hear Mr. Li? Tell your master to come himself! Does he think he has so much influence that he can get anyone to do his bidding?"

Qin Luye had no choice but to bite her lip and run out.

Seeing Qin Luye leave, Huang Yiyi huffed and said, "Just thinking about He Zhongtian makes me angry! We've always treated him as a benefactor, grateful for what his master and grandmaster did for our family, and we trusted his abilities. Who knew that to maintain the feng shui tomb left by his grandmaster and secure his false position, he would stand by and watch our family members die one by one. Not only did he not understand, but he pretended to know, saying our family's feng shui was fine and he would take responsibility if there were any problems."

"If he hadn't said that, our family wouldn't have relaxed, and if we hadn't relaxed, so many things wouldn't have happened. Such a person, who cares more about his reputation than others' lives, makes me feel sick just thinking about it!"

At this, Huang Yiyi was so angry that she put her hands on her hips.

I stepped forward and gently patted her, comforting her, "It's okay, isn't his retribution here now?"

Huang Yiyi huffed and said, "To think he would send his female apprentice to invite you. Does he think big breasts can get you to help? How shameless! He must think you're that kind of person."

Huang Yiyi was so angry that she ranted on, and it seemed I had a good image in her mind.

"Li Yao, are you going to treat him?" Huang Yiyi suddenly asked me seriously.

I was a bit stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Huang Yiyi took a deep breath and said, "In my opinion, he deserves it! That's his retribution. Don't treat him, let him die!"

Seeing Huang Yiyi so angry, I comforted her, "I said before, everything depends on fate. The most important thing is whether I can solve the problem."

Hearing this, Huang Yiyi's expression softened, and she pursed her lips, saying, "I'm sorry, Li Yao, I was a bit too extreme just now!"

"It's okay!"

Twenty minutes later, a black Audi A6 stopped in front of my storefront.

Soon, a man and a woman got out of the car. The man drove, and the woman helped He Zhongtian out of the car. The man quickly went to support He Zhongtian, and the two of them helped him walk toward me.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, save me! Save me!" He Zhongtian, supported by his two apprentices, looked weak and unable to stand on his own. Not only that, his face was very pale, and the dark aura following him had become even stronger. This time, he had encountered something serious.

I calmly watched as he was dragged in and placed on a chair. Before I could ask, Huang Yiyi sarcastically said, "Oh, isn't this Mr. He? What's wrong? Are you sick?"

He Zhongtian, with a bitter smile, nodded and called out to Huang Yiyi, "Miss Huang, please don't say that. I'm almost dead! Look at my feet!"

As he spoke, he lifted his trouser leg. Goodness, his feet were already black, a dark bruise.

Then, he pulled open his shirt, revealing a large bruise on his chest, right over his heart. It seemed his heart was also affected!
