Chapter 226- Cold Indifferent Loyal Dog VS. Playful Ghost King (21)
Yin Tianyi looked at the anxious expression of the man in front of him and thought for a moment before saying to him, “If you don’t want these puppets, why not give them all to me to handle?”
Mr. Yu naturally nodded eagerly upon hearing Yin Tianyi’s words. He couldn’t handle these eerie puppets himself. If the master in front of him was willing to take them, he would even pay some money for it. He promptly offered to give compensation to Yin Tianyi, who naturally did not refuse.
After collecting all these puppets, Yin Tianyi rearranged the Feng Shui of Mr. Yu’s home. He could sense that the fortune of Mr. Yu’s home seemed to have diminished because of these puppets.
However, the decline in fortune was not the most significant issue. The most important issue was that the malevolent energy on these puppets attracted many evil spirits, causing unrest in Mr. Yu’s home, and even Mr. Yu, who was not in good health, suffered the most.
Taking money from others to dispel disasters, he didn’t mind spending more effort to restore the fortune of the employer’s home and calm their residence. Naturally, Mr. Yu was extremely grateful for this.
The next day, Mr. Yu specially prepared a sumptuous breakfast for Yin Tianyi and the others, and promised to immediately pay them their compensation, before sending them off respectfully.
This was Yin Tianyi’s first practical encounter with such a situation, and he was quite satisfied with his performance. However, Mu Jin was more eager to see the condition of the remaining puppets, so the two of them exchanged a few casual words before parting ways.
After Yin Tianyi and Mu Jin returned home, Mu Jin immediately found the puppet from before that had already absorbed all the malevolent energy and smashed it open, revealing black curses inside.
Afterwards, following the same procedure, he absorbed the malevolent energy from the remaining puppets and then smashed them one by one. Sure enough, the contents inside were exactly the same.
Yin Tianyi, who had some research on curses these days, quickly discovered the function of these curses: they absorbed luck and emitted malevolent energy.
Thinking of Yuan Hongshen, who in his past life had been willing to harm even his own father for the sake of absorbing luck, Yin Tianyi found it hard not to connect this matter with him. Moreover, considering the origin of these puppets, it seemed that Mr. Yu’s friend was highly regarded by Yuan Hongshen.
Mu Jin and Yin Tianyi discussed this matter together and both felt that it must be related to Yuan Hongshen. However, considering that the Yuan family’s recent influence was quite good, they couldn’t understand why Yuan Hongshen would engage in such petty actions.
It was known that he had previously seized the magical artifact, the bronze cauldron, and then relied on Yin Zhanpeng’s pure Yang body to greatly improve his family’s fortune. However, these puppet-like objects were obviously not as useful, and some were even useless.
Last night, Mu Jin and Yin Tianyi both observed that although these puppets could absorb some fortune, their effects were not good. Even though they had been placed in Mr. Yu’s home for a long time, the fortune they absorbed was almost negligible.
Moreover, these black curses seemed very suspicious, being able to emit such pure malevolent energy. Although they didn’t have much effect on Mu Jin, they were attractive enough for ordinary evil spirits.
Mu Jin couldn’t figure out an answer for a moment, so he instructed 003 to monitor Mr. Yu’s situation and figure out who exactly his friend was. Also, what had Yuan Hongshen been doing recently, and why would he create these things?
Yin Tianyi eventually gave up discussing these matters with Mu Jin. After studying the curses inside the puppets, he went to the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch for Mu Jin. Then… he dragged Mu Jin to the bed again.
Mu Jin glanced at Yin Tianyi, who seemed invigorated, and couldn’t hide the teasing smile in his eyes. But Yin Tianyi, having lived through two lifetimes, didn’t care about face-saving issues anymore.
He didn’t mind being teased by Mu Jin at all. After all, as long as he got what he wanted, he didn’t care about the mockery. Without any hesitation, he indulged himself completely with the captivating person in front of him.
After their afternoon exercise, feeling refreshed, Yin Tianyi resumed practicing his spells. He had previously spent some time setting up a Feng Shui array at Mr. Yu’s place.
Mu Jin could feel the Feng Shui array guiding the fortune through Mr. Yu’s house, and it also had a noticeable effect on purifying the malevolent energy. Seeing his lover’s rapid progress, Mu Jin couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration, thinking his partner truly was a genius.
Mr. Yu was a very honest man. Not long after they left, he fulfilled his promise and paid them their compensation, even more than he had originally promised.
Mu Jin raised an eyebrow at the unexpected extra tens of thousands in their account. He hadn’t expected such a small job to yield such a high reward. Mr. Yu seemed to be just moderately wealthy, but his generosity was surprising.
However, they were simply unfamiliar with the market value of their services. A regular Feng Shui master might not make much by playing tricks in residential houses, but Yin Tianyi had genuine abilities.
He had shown Mr. Yu the real ghosts, which alone was enough to scare a lot of money out of him. Of course, those who were more experienced wouldn’t be as easily frightened.
Mr. Yu’s recent experiences had completely convinced him of Yin Tianyi’s abilities. Seeing that he not only dispelled the malevolent energy but also set up a Feng Shui array, Mr. Yu was naturally very grateful.
The level of service Yin Tianyi provided was already worth a high fee. Even though Mr. Yu wasn’t very wealthy, he was willing to pay extra. After all, in the ghost market circle, he knew some very wealthy and influential people.
In the future, if others needed such services, he could recommend Yin Tianyi and Mu Jin, building good relations and earning favors. He wanted to maintain a good relationship with them, knowing their skills could be very useful.
To him, these new Feng Shui masters had limitless potential, and he saw this as a good business opportunity. After all, he was a businessman.
Yin Tianyi and Mu Jin were also very satisfied with the compensation. Mu Jin even had 003 hack into the system to get Yin Tianyi a driver’s license, then had him buy a car for easier transportation.
With Yin Tianyi’s improving skills, they knew they couldn’t stay cooped up in a small rental apartment living like shut-ins forever.
Over the next few days, Mu Jin found some nearby spirits and located areas with intense malevolent energy for Yin Tianyi to practice purification. Yin Tianyi performed excellently, and it was clear that he was becoming increasingly proficient with his spellwork.
At this time, Qi Hao also approached them again with the proposal to introduce them to the old master of the Qi family. This time, Mu Jin and Yin Tianyi did not refuse.
The Qi family had not yet declined, especially with the old master still alive, who had many connections with the older generation. Since the Yuan family had not yet risen to prominence, the two families were currently evenly matched. Naturally, Mu Jin and Yin Tianyi were willing to make a good impression on the old master of the Qi family and build a good relationship.
In the past, the older generations of the Qi, Yuan, and Yin families were close friends, so the Qi family’s ancestors also believed firmly in Feng Shui and similar practices. However, seeing that these practices were no longer highly regarded, the Qi family had taken a different path and turned to business.
As a result, the Qi family was the first of the three families to prosper and has developed a vast business empire. However, the younger generation did not believe in these practices, and competent Feng Shui masters had become hard to find. Although the old master of the Qi family was quite old, he still held absolute authority within the family.
While the Qi family was not lacking in descendants, finding any who were particularly successful was challenging. It had to be said that the Qi family’s efforts in educating the next generation were somewhat lacking.
Mu Jin recalled the second master of the Qi family he had met before and really didn’t want to say much more. The man had such a complicated and intensely corrupt aura.
If not for this, Mu Jin wouldn’t have taken any action against him. Moreover, with 003 monitoring, Mu Jin knew even more about the man’s misdeeds. So he didn’t hold back. Recently, the second master of the Qi family had been gravely ill, almost at death’s door.
He wondered if the old master’s urgency to meet them was because of the second master. If the old master was seeking Yin Tianyi’s help for this person, Mu Jin had no intention of letting his partner get involved.
Just as he was thinking this, Qi Hao, who had promised to take them to the Qi family, arrived at their door. When they opened the door and saw Qi Hao, dressed in a formal suit and looking very serious, Mu Jin and Yin Tianyi felt a bit unaccustomed. However, seeing the level of respect Qi Hao had for the old master, they still respected him.
Upon arriving at the Qi family home, Mu Jin saw an elderly man with a dignified face. Although Qi Hao had told the old master that these two were very capable, he hadn’t expected them to be so young. Since Qi Hao had vouched for them, the old master believed him, as he didn’t think Qi Hao would dare deceive him.
However, seeing Mu Jin’s youthful and enchanting face, he was a bit taken aback. Were Feng Shui masters really this young nowadays? The stern-looking boy was one thing, but the long-haired one didn’t even seem of age!
Being a man of experience, the old master didn’t judge by appearances. He merely pondered this briefly and didn’t show any reaction on his face. He got straight to the point with Yin Tianyi and Mu Jin, presenting his request and even promising a handsome reward.
Mu Jin initially thought that someone of the old master’s generation might put on airs and expect them to show great respect first. But the old master was straightforward, directly asking if they could set up a Feng Shui array for the Qi family.
