Chapter 72  : Fourth Madam, Be Careful With What You Say

Other than Qi Yihan, everyone else looked at her with complicated expressions.

After a moment of surprise, Mr. Zhang remembered that this person was Fourth Madam. If anything bad happened to her and Fourth Master at his store, he would be in deep trouble.

Holding back the urge to wipe his cold sweat, Mr. Zhang stole a look at Qi Yihan’s face and said to Tang Li, trembling, “Fourth Madam, my shop hasn’t been open for a long time. Plus, I invited an expert to look at the feng shui in my shop. He will be here shortly, so I can’t really go with you. I’m really sorry.”

Tang Li thought about it and asked curiously, “What’s wrong with your store? Is feng shui bad?”

“Right.”

Actually, Mr. Zhang was not sure if it was because of the feng shui or something else, but he wanted to leave as soon as possible, so he continued,

“Recently, there are always accidents in my store. Be it me, my family, my employees, or even the customers who enter my store, all kinds of unfortunate things will happen. So, for the sake of Fourth Madam’s safety, I can’t do your business today.”

Normally, people would be scared after hearing what Mr. Zhang said.

But Tang Li was not a normal person. She became even more interested and said, “I also have some knowledge about feng shui. Why don’t you let me go to your store and take a look?”

“No…” He instinctively wanted to reject it.

Tang Li continued, “I think my feng shui skill is quite good. It so happens that a master is coming to your store. I can take the chance to talk to him.”

“Um…”

Boss Zhang didn’t know what to do.

The others looked at Tang Li, wide-eyed and surprised by the fact that Tang Li knew something about feng shui.

They thought to themselves, “You gotta be kidding me. I don’t think a woman who looks like a princess will know feng shui.”

Looking at Tang Li’s sincere and serious expression, Boss Zhang found it hard to reject her even if he wanted to. He stole a glance at Qi Yihan.

Tang Li instantly understood that all the bosses on this street would listen to Qi Yihan, so she also looked at him expectantly.

Qi Yihan didn’t want to speak initially, but when Tang Li looked at him, he said, “A bunch of weird things have been happening on the antique street lately. It just so happens that a master is coming to Mr. Zhang’s shop. We should go and see how capable the master is. If he is legit, we will know whom we should look for help in the future,”

What Qi Yihan said sounded convincing since, in the antique trading business, there were indeed a lot of strange things. Everyone wanted to find a capable master to ask for a fortune charm.

“Right, right, right. We also want to see how capable this master is.”

“If he is capable, I’ll pay for him to help my store as well.”

…

Tang Li was impressed by how influential Qi Yihan was on this street. His influence was almost comparable to hers in reality.

Since Qi Yihan said so, Boss Zhang definitely wouldn’t reject it. Everyone walked towards his antique shop.

Boss Zhang’s antique store was on the north street. The store was very large, and there were two stone lions guarding the door. It looked especially imposing, but at this moment, the stone lions looked gray, as if they were covered by something.

Someone noticed and said to Boss Zhang, “Boss Zhang, even if you’re not open for business for the time being, you should at least get someone to wipe the dust off the two stone lions.”

When Boss Zhang heard this, his expression changed. He quickly said, “Of course, I clean them. I get people to wipe the stone lion outside every day.”

“Then why is there so much dust on these two stone lions?”

Boss Zhang’s expression darkened even more. “I don’t know either.”

Qi Yihan, who was standing beside Tang Li, asked, “Tang Li, what’s with the dust on the stone lion.”

Tang Li did not expect Qi Yihan to suddenly ask her. Coupled with the fact that everyone was looking at her, she looked at the stone lion and said, “It’s not dust. It’s covered by a layer of evil spirit.”

“Evil spirit?”

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

Those who were in the business of antiques knew that some of the antiques they had were taken out directly from the Great Tomb. The greatest taboo in the antique business was to say that there was an evil spirit in the antique. Some things were not supposed to be uttered, because once it was uttered, there was no taking it back and it could therefore be true.

Boss Zhang’s face darkened. “Fourth Madam, be careful with what you say.”

Tang Li shrugged. “If you don’t believe me, then forget it.”

After saying that, she turned to look in a direction and said, “The master you invited is here.”

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction she was looking at and saw an old man wearing a greenish-gray robe, had the kind of hair bun from the ancient era, and was holding a horsetail whisk. He looked like a sage as he walked over.

A young man followed behind the old man. The young man was wearing a pair of jeans and a dark blue t-shirt. He carried a large backpack on his back.

When Mr. Zhang saw him, he immediately went up to him. “Master Qi, you’re finally here. Please come in.”

Master Qi nodded at him coldly and followed him.

When he was passing Qi Yihan, Master Qi suddenly stopped and looked at him. After looking him up and down, he shook his head and said, “You have the look of an emperor, but unfortunately, you have a wicked wife at home. What a pity, it is the worst thing that can happen to a man.”

Tang Li sneered. “Old man, you have to be careful. Otherwise, I’ll ruin your reputation as a master.”

“How dare you say that to my grandmaster!” The young man glared at Tang Li.

Master Qi then looked at Tang Li and narrowed his eyes, wanting to see her face clearly.

Tang Li withdrew her aura and smiled as she looked back at him. A few seconds later, she kindly reminded him, “You will face a bloody calamity today. Be careful.”

“You…”

The young man was about to lose his temper again when Tang Li glanced at him. Her gaze was so powerful that the words the young man wanted to say were stuck in his throat. He blushed, but he wasn’t able to utter a word.

Master Qi’s heart skipped a beat. He had never seen anyone with such a powerful aura. Normally, people belonging to the same field could sense each other’s aura more clearly. He could immediately tell that the woman in front of him was a student of Taoism, too, but he couldn’t tell which sect she belonged to.

However, he couldn’t bring himself to believe it, because, to him, she looked like she would end up miserable, so why was her aura so powerful?

“Am I wrong? Or is she not human?” He thought to himself.

Master Qi’s heart sank, but he still put on the airs of a great master. He withdrew his gaze from Tang Li’s face and said to Boss Zhang, “I’ll go in to take a look at your store later. People who are not related are not allowed to go in, especially those with a heavy evil spirit.”

By people with a heavy evil spirit, he meant Tang Li.

And she knew exactly what he meant..
