Chapter 510 A brutal beating
The old house of a merchant.
A middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest walked around with a swagger, holding a whisk in one hand and a Bagua compass in the other.
Master Shang thoughtfully led the way for this man.
The Taoist priest said smugly, "Your business has been doing well lately; it seems your luck is about to change. Has your young master broken up with his girlfriend yet?"
"We broke up. We just broke up not long ago."
“That’s right. That woman’s bad luck will affect the fortune of the merchants.” The Taoist priest said, flicking his whisk and pointing to a large, leafy tree. “This tree is not good. It’s too vigorous and will easily absorb the yang energy of your house.”
“But this tree was planted by my great-great-grandfather a hundred years ago, who said it would bless his descendants…” Master Shang was starting to doubt the Taoist’s abilities.
The Taoist priest continued to spout nonsense, "You said it yourself, that was a hundred years ago. Everything has its limits and then reverses. A hundred years is a cycle. He protected you before, but now he wants to drain your fortune from your descendants."
"Well... I'll ask the head of the family for instructions later." Master Shang dared not move the tree lightly.
"Suit yourself. Anyway, I've already warned you." The Taoist continued walking forward, and then asked about the clients, "Who are those two guests? You didn't tell me in detail beforehand. Are they reliable or not?"
"Reliable, absolutely reliable, please come in." Master Shang invited with a forced smile.
But when the Taoist priest entered the house and saw Xia Yue and Qin Yeting sitting in the main seat, his face froze instantly!
In order to deceive Third Master Qin, he had specifically investigated the Qin family's background and of course recognized the Qin family's leader in front of him!
As for Xia Yue, although he didn't know the details, the fact that this woman and the child brought by Qin San Taiye looked alike proved that this matter was definitely not simple!
This is a trap!
The Taoist priest turned around and was about to run away!
But before he could run two steps, he was stopped at the door by Shen Xiangxiang, Qu Wanwan, and Feng Yao.
The Taoist priest panicked completely and hurriedly feigned innocence, saying, "What do you all want from me? Let's talk this out!"
"Pah! I have nothing to do with a liar like you!" Shen Xiangxiang cursed, and kicked the Taoist priest, making him kneel on the ground and beg for mercy in pain!
"I'm sorry, I was wrong! Please, please let me go!" The Taoist priest was very cowardly and admitted defeat on the spot.
Looking at his pathetic state, Master Shang asked coldly, "So, you're actually a useless liar? The marriage prediction you made for my nephew was just nonsense?"
"Oh dear, I wasn't just talking nonsense, I'm a psychologist! I'm a scientist!"
"What the heck?"
“I can see that your family doesn’t like that girl at all. I’m just going along with your family’s wishes to make you happy. How can you blame me?” the Taoist priest retorted righteously.
Shen Xiangxiang wished she could go up and kick this person a couple more times!
Master Shang also looked annoyed, feeling somewhat guilty towards Shen Xiangxiang.
Not wanting to waste time, Qin Yeting continued, "Did you cooperate with Third Master Qin? Where is that old man now?"
"I...I dare not say, if I do, will you spare my life?" The Taoist priest still hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.
Xia Yue grabbed the man by the collar and shoved a black pill into his mouth!
The Taoist priest wanted to vomit, but the medicine melted instantly in his mouth, giving him no time to react.
"What did you give me to eat?" the Taoist priest asked fearfully.
"You'll find out soon enough," Xia Yue said in an extremely cold voice.
In less than three seconds, the Taoist priest started to have a stomachache, then a headache, then pain in his limbs, and finally pain all over his body!
It felt like a million ants were biting his body, and the pain was so intense that he wished he could die immediately!
"Ah! It hurts! Ah! Spare me!" Only then did the Taoist priest truly feel the pain.
Compared to the kick Shen Xiangxiang gave me just now, what I did just now was like a tickle.
"I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! I'll confess everything!" The Taoist priest completely caved and obediently accepted the punishment.
Xia Yue gave the Taoist priest another medicine to temporarily alleviate the poison, and threatened him in a cold voice, "This medicine can only delay the pain for three hours. Confess honestly, and I'll consider whether to give you the antidote."
“Alright! I’ll tell you… I’ll tell you…” The Taoist priest recounted in detail his cooperation with Third Master Qin.
Xia Yue was so angry when she heard that Third Master Qin was going to summon the soul, but only using Xiao Xingyu as a vessel, that she wanted to tear that old man apart!
"This miracle doctor, don't be angry, don't be angry. He can't succeed. How could I possibly summon a spirit? These are all scams! I originally planned to make enough money and then, when the time was right, leave China and go far away."
I never expected to fall into your hands today. I've gotten what I deserved. I admit my mistake, but please let the law punish me. Please give me the antidote!
The Taoist priest shuddered at the memory of the intense pain he had just experienced.
Xia Yue's face darkened, and she refused to agree to the man's request.
Qin Yeting then said, "Take us there now. After I see my son and save him, I will give you an explanation."
Note that Qin Yeting only said "explained," but did not say what he explained.
This business tycoon is also a master of wordplay.
The Taoist priest, focused solely on survival, paid no heed to Qin Yeting's words and readily agreed, "Alright, I'll lead the way!"
"Wait!" Xia Yue interrupted the Taoist priest. "Tell me first where Xiao Xingyu is hidden. We need to send someone to keep an eye on that place."
"Grandpa Qin has gone mad; he's even thinking of things like summoning spirits. He'll definitely be making thorough preparations nearby. We must be extremely careful!"
