Li Bo's words made Old Master Li fall into deep thought.

Old Master Li had lived through that era and was fundamentally opposed to supernatural and bizarre things.

They believed that if ghosts and gods truly existed, how could the gods in heaven bear to let countless people suffer humiliation, lose their loved ones, and lose their lives amidst gunfire?

But looking at his foolish grandson, doubts began to creep into his heart.

This guy was an elite from a young age, and I've never heard him show any interest in any woman until college.

While he was still thinking about finding him a well-known woman from a prestigious family for a blind date, Li Jianshan brought back Xiang Zhiyi, a rising actress.

Unbeknownst to him, the two were already deeply in love.

The Li family didn't care much about social status, but they were still considered a high-ranking family, and Old Master Li had done some research on it privately.

This stupid grandson fell in love with Xiang Zhiyi at first sight at the premiere of a movie he invested in.

Looking back now, it all seems very strange.

Why did Li Jianshan's love-struck mind suddenly kick in?

"In your opinion, where should we find a master?" Completely puzzled, Old Master Li had no choice but to try anything, just in case.

Uncle Li said, "It's far away, yet right before my eyes."

Although Uncle Li is called "Uncle," he is only in his forties and not old at all. He also knows a lot.

"Master Jiang is a master."

Grandpa Li, who didn't care about the entertainment industry and didn't know Jiang Si, quickly said, "Tell me about it."

Li Bo vividly recounted Jiang Si's many achievements.

It's obvious he's a huge fan of Master Jiang.

Entrusted by the old master, Uncle Li personally visited the family with generous gifts.

He was very polite, but as soon as he spoke, Jiang Si rejected him.

Jiang Si's face showed a rare displeasure: "I can't save your love-struck son." With that, she slammed the door shut in front of her, getting a face full of dust.

Uncle Li is the Li family's steward, and when he goes out, he sometimes represents the Li family's reputation. He has never been so humiliated before.

Back at the hotel, Old Master Li asked, "How did it go?"

Uncle Li explained the situation.

"Why does it sound like she dislikes us so much?"

Uncle Li said with a bitter face, "Isn't that right?" Uncle Li had read a lot of supernatural novels since he was a child, and he admired the real Taoist priest Jiang Si from the bottom of his heart.

Otherwise, how would they know that they came to the door about the young master's matter?

But now, Master Jiang has rejected him.

He even wondered if it was because he was too ugly.

Unlike other wealthy families, the Li family did not display their arrogant and condescending attitude to the fullest extent. The two of them sat aside and began to reflect.

“Real Taoist masters all have some temper. Could it be that they felt we weren’t polite enough?” Uncle Li said. Perhaps it was because he was too low-ranking that the master turned him away.

Old Master Li had always scoffed at talk of ghosts and gods, and now he couldn't bring himself to ask his friends for recommendations of one or two masters with real skills.

Besides, it's better to keep family scandals at home.

The next day, Old Master Li personally visited the house with his entourage.

This time, Jiang Si did not block the person outside the door.

Jiang Si invited everyone to sit down and politely asked She Zhang, an unemployed and uneducated young man, to serve tea and water to the guests.

Uncle Li was somewhat flattered.

Master Jiang's family has such good genes; everyone is so good-looking. I'm only able to drink tea because of the old man, instead of being turned away.

"Master Jiang, I apologize for disturbing you uninvited this time, but I have a request to make." Old Master Li put down his tea and said somewhat embarrassedly.

The old man served in the military in his early years, and the habits he developed over the years have resulted in him sitting upright and looking very energetic.

“I know what you want to ask,” Jiang Si said. “Why is Li Jianshan so devoted to Xiang Zhijue? It’s simple. He unknowingly tied himself to Xiang Zhiyi with a thread of fate. As the saying goes, a thousand-mile marriage is tied by a single thread. When two people are tied together by a thread of fate, they are naturally in love to the point of life and death.”

Upon hearing this, Old Master Li was both angry and delighted.

What's infuriating is that that wretched grandson was indeed set up.

The good thing is that Master Jiang was able to say it, so he must have a solution.

Old Master Li had initially been somewhat skeptical, but now he believed it completely. The news was kept very secret; outsiders should have no idea that Li Jianshan was contemplating suicide at home.

"So, what does Master Jiang mean?"

"I didn't mean anything by it. I've already told you the reason. You can leave now." Jiang Si gave a cold laugh, trying to appear polite, but she couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied.

Old Master Li and Uncle Li were dumbfounded. According to the usual practice, shouldn't they have discussed the price first?

Why are you suddenly asking me to leave?

"Master Jiang, I beg you to save my foolish grandson." Old Master Li said with a long face, "Please tell me what you need."

The implication was that anything the Li family possessed was acceptable.

Jiang Si raised her eyes and sized up the old man in front of her. After a long while, she finally spoke:

“Mr. Li, I respect your contributions to this country and admire the fearless spirit of your son and daughter-in-law,” Jiang Si said, then changed the subject. “For these reasons, it is already merciful of me not to cause trouble for Li Jianshan. Saving him is absolutely impossible.”

"Please, gentlemen."

Why does this sound like you have a grudge against Li Jianshan?

"I don't know what that unfilial grandson did to Miss Jiang, but I apologize to you on his behalf." Old Master Li apologized to Jiang Si on behalf of his grandson.

"Apologize?" Jiang Si chuckled as if she had heard a joke: "Don't you have a line here that goes, 'If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?'"
