After leaving the cemetery, Lin An called Xu Mo.
"Could you help me find out where Master Wang is? Is he still in Haishi?"
"No need to check, he's in Haishi."
"How did you know?" Lin An was shocked. Had Xu Mo become a mind reader? He could even predict the future.
Xu Mo explained, "You asked me to find someone to keep an eye on Yang Li before, right? They report to me every morning. Today, she went to a fortune-telling seminar as a believer. It's probably just a brainwashing conference for those rich but foolish people."
Lin An asked urgently, "Where is the address? Tell me quickly."
"Lin An, what are you going to do? Are you going to see Master Wang? I advise you not to go. His fortune-telling conference has invited many leading figures in the field of metaphysics. If you go, you might be besieged and find yourself in a predicament."
"Stop talking nonsense, send me the address."
"Lin An, I know you don't like Master Wang, but he's no ordinary person. A moment of patience will bring peace and a step back will open up a vast sky." Xu Mo treated Lin An like a brother and sincerely advised him, afraid that he would get into trouble.
"He blew up my grandfather's grave, are you going to tolerate that?"
"This is unacceptable. I've sent you the address. Wait for me, I'll go with you."
Xu Mo is a gentle person, but the importance of ancestral graves cannot be overstated.
"See you at the hotel then. I'll go back and get something first."
"Okay." Xu Mo habitually agreed, though he wondered why they would bother going back to the hotel to get something at this time.
Xu Mo drove to the hotel, picked up Lin An, and headed to the address of the fortune-telling seminar.
The address turned out to be a suburban courtyard belonging to Zhao Gancheng, located halfway up a mountain, surrounded by lush trees and beautiful scenery.
As expected of the Zhao family, a top-tier family in Shanghai, the Zhao family's courtyard looked very grand, with towering walls that prevented anyone from seeing inside.
The two parked their car and walked to the entrance. There was a sign at the entrance introducing the schedule of the fortune-telling seminar. Two receptionists stood next to the sign, and there were four security guards around.
It is now afternoon. The morning's agenda included lectures from various schools of fortune-telling. What is currently taking place is the main focus of the meeting, with all the schools discussing and debating together.
"Sir, please show me your invitation." The receptionist said politely.
Lin An and Xu Mo exchanged an awkward glance and then smiled sheepishly.
Xu Mo put on a fawning expression and said with a smile:
"Miss, we've lost our invitations, please let us in."
The young woman blinked her big, watery eyes and said sincerely, "It's okay if you lose it. Just tell us your name, we have an electronic record."
Just as Xu Mo was about to lay his cards on the table and beg for mercy, Lin An calmly replied, "I am Zhang Wei, and he is Liu Bo."
The receptionist quickly took out her phone to search for the list of registered believers. She soon found Zhang Wei, and after flipping through a couple of pages, she saw Liu Bo.
"Sir, please come in."
Lin An and Xu Mo calmly walked into the courtyard. The pavilions, towers, carved beams, and painted rafters inside were exceptionally luxurious.
"How did you know Zhang Wei and Liu Bo were there?" Xu Mo couldn't help but ask after walking a short distance from the door.
"It's just a matter of probability. There are just a lot of people with those two names. Looks like I'm having a lucky day today," Lin An said casually. If it were ten or twenty years from now, the names would be Zihan or Muchen.
Upon entering the largest reception room, hundreds of believers were listening intently to the master on the stage preaching and expounding the Dharma.
The person sitting in the center of the front they were facing was Master Wang, surrounded by several well-known figures in the field of metaphysics.
Lin An and Xu Mo found two empty seats in the last row and sat down to observe the situation.
After listening for a while, the two realized that the masters on stage were basically praising each other, saying that one of them was very awesome and the other was very awesome, but the most awesome one was definitely Master Wang.
"What's the point of them doing this?" Xu Mo was getting tired of the master's cryptic remarks.
"It's just a scam. Look at Yang Li's appearance. If the master told her he could help her get ahead, she'd probably be willing to pay any amount of money," Lin An said casually.
At this moment, Yang Li, who was sitting in the first row, was looking at the master on the stage with a devout expression.
“That’s true.” Xu Mo nodded, then asked gossipily, “When did you find out that Lin Haoran was having an affair? Were you upset at the time?”
"Get out of here, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask." Lin An glared at Xu Mo.
Lin An recalled his past life. He was indeed quite upset when he learned of Yang Li's existence. After telling Zhang Wanru, she actually accused him of sowing discord. His mother's reaction was even more distressing. In fact, there are still many things he can't understand.
He had previously thought that Lin Haoran hadn't officially recognized Yang Li as his wife because of the children, but it was clear that Lin Haoran didn't care about his son, let alone his daughter. Faced with bankruptcy, his only solution was to sell his daughter. His children were nothing to him. So why didn't he just dump Zhang Wanru?
These two are like two peas in a pod; they've long since lost all feelings for each other and are determined not to divorce.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the master has been speaking for so long and must be tired. Let's take a 20-minute break."
The host's voice interrupted Lin An's thoughts.
Master Wang walked out through the back door, and Yang Li immediately got up and followed him. The two entered the lounge one after the other.
"Master, the things you blessed for me are useless," Yang Li said in a sweet, coquettish voice.
Master Wang was very vigilant. He checked again to make sure the door to the rest room was locked before speaking:
"I already said that everything takes time to take effect, so please be patient."
"Oh dear, I can't wait any longer. He promised to buy me a villa, but now he won't even see me. I suspect he's changed his mind."
Yang Li hadn't seen Lin Haoran for several days and didn't know what he was busy with. In a panic, she sought help from Master Wang.
"Well then, I have a blessed fox pendant here, worth 100,000 yuan. I'll give it to you cheaply; it can enhance your luck in finding a partner."
Master Wang was eager to make money. He came to Haishi with the intention of buying the two lightning-struck wooden beads at a low price and reselling them at a high price in the port area to make a fortune. Unexpectedly, Lin An appeared out of nowhere and ruined his plans. Fortunately, there was a fool named Zhao Gancheng who was willing to help him. So, he borrowed the Zhao family's territory to hold a fortune-telling conference and harvest money from a wave of believers.
"Oh dear, Master, you charged me 200,000 yuan for the blessed underwear the day before yesterday. Don't you have any other ways to do it without spending money?" Yang Li said, rubbing against Master Wang.
Master Wang felt the fullness of her breasts, and coupled with the overwhelming fragrance, the Taoist priest, being a man himself, immediately became interested and said with a lewd grin, "It's not like there's no other way. Have you ever heard of the method of dual cultivation?"
Yang Li understood this immediately and said coquettishly, "Oh dear, I'm so embarrassed! Will this method even work?"
"Yes, I guarantee it! This method is the most effective! No man will be able to live without you after this," Master Wang said eagerly.
......
Lin An and Xu Mo wanted to go to the backyard to find Master Wang, but they ran into Zhao Gancheng on the way.
Master Wang promised Zhao Gancheng that he would help him deal with Lin An and make it impossible for Lin An to make a living in Haishi. Only then would Zhao Gancheng lend Master Wang the place. The conference lasted for three days, but there was still no movement from Lin An.
Zhao Gancheng couldn't sit still any longer, so he came over today specifically to ask Master Wang how things were going.
As fate would have it, Zhao Gancheng saw Lin An, sat down in a fighting cock mode, and loudly questioned him:
"Lin An! What are you doing here? Did you come to steal Master Wang's skills?"
