Ling Yunlong picked up his teacup, blew away the steam, took a small sip, and said softly:
"Master, have some tea."
Having spent nearly half his life navigating the business world, what kind of people hasn't he encountered?
Those charlatans like Lin Bao who casually mention millions are most likely all show and no substance.
Thinking about it this way, he was even more reluctant to waste the money, so he pretended not to hear what Lin Bao said and changed the subject without making a sound.
Seeing that Ling Yunlong was not responding to Lin Bao's words at all, Su Yu became increasingly anxious, so she gently shook his arm and urged him anxiously:
“Yunlong, for the past few months, I’ve felt like nothing I do is going right. As for feng shui, it’s better to believe in it than not.”
"Does your brother-in-law not trust Bendao's character?"
Lin Bao guessed Ling Yunlong's thoughts, took a sip of tea, and then ordered his disciple to take out a stack of invoices stamped with an official seal from his cloth bag. He solemnly said:
"Look at these invoices and receipts, all from last month's charity auction. The amounts are clearly marked, totaling ten million yuan. These Five Elements Eight Trigrams Talismans have all been blessed by Master Wuliang, making them extremely precious. Right now, I'm only charging you 500,000 yuan per piece, which is already the lowest price."
"Master, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to question you."
Ling Yunlong took the invoices and carefully checked them one by one. After studying them for most of the day, he still couldn't find the slightest flaw.
Strange...
Could it be that Lin Bao wasn't bluffing him?
A Five Elements Bagua talisman priced at 500,000 yuan is indeed outrageously expensive. What's even more outrageous is that someone actually offered double the price to bid for it.
Or perhaps he's just blind and doesn't recognize its value?
Ling Yunlong sighed repeatedly, unsure whether he should believe Lin Bao's words.
Lin Bao, who was sitting right next to him, narrowed his eyes, which were full of cunning, and carefully observed Ling Yunlong's expression while drinking tea.
Seeing Ling Yunlong looking completely helpless and conflicted, Lin Bao stroked his beard meaningfully and began a new round of persuasion:
"Actually, I haven't spent a single penny of the money I earned from consulting feng shui masters. It's all been donated to charity. My brother-in-law is actually killing two birds with one stone by spending money to buy good fortune. I will donate all of this money in your name. In this way, it can also be considered as accumulating merit."
"The Taoist priest is kind-hearted, and I admire him."
Upon hearing that Lin Bao had used all his money for charity, Ling Yunlong's trust in him skyrocketed in an instant.
However, this trust was not enough to make him pay for the exorbitantly priced Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Talisman.
In his opinion, these Five Elements and Eight Trigrams talismans, which even a child could draw, are not worth this price, even if they have been blessed by a master.
If a Bagua Fu (a type of Chinese divination symbol) can sell for 50,000 yuan, one should be thankful.
But this Lin Bao, he just asked for 500,000. What's the difference between that and robbery?
After patiently waiting for most of the day, and seeing that Ling Yunlong didn't mention buying "fortune" at all, Lin Bao had no choice but to intensify his efforts, speaking in a serious tone:
"In fact, I've also discovered that Xiaotian's fortunes have changed, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not?"
"What changes?" Su Yu asked hurriedly.
A while ago, the internet was full of negative gossip about her, and in an effort to reverse public opinion, she almost emptied her savings.
At this moment, she was both eager to get money from Ling Yunlong and worried that Ling Yunlong would see through her and Lin Bao's little tricks on the spot. She was so nervous that her hands were sweating and her voice was trembling slightly.
In contrast, Lin Bao, perhaps due to his many swindling and deceitful deeds, was much calmer than the anxious and constrained Su Yu.
He slowly turned to the side, glancing sideways at Ling Tian, who was sitting quietly to the side scrolling through her phone, and sighed with a hint of regret:
"Logically speaking, if Xiaotian's fortune were in ancient times, she could become an empress. But for some reason, I see that Xiaotian's fortune has been severely hampered recently. If this continues, she may have difficulty marrying into a wealthy family. Right now, only these Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Blessings can help Xiaotian break through the many obstacles and rise to the top."
Ling Yunlong was still hoping that Ling Tian could bring greater benefits to the Ling family. Upon hearing Lin Bao's words, "It's hard to enter a wealthy family," he felt a surge of excitement and, with a wave of his hand, generously bought all ten Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Fortune Sticks that Lin Bao had offered.
After paying, Ling Yunlong thought all the calamities would be resolved, and he felt much more relaxed.
Unexpectedly, Lin Bao's eyes darted around, and he turned his attention to Ling Mo.
He paced around the living room for a while, and just as everyone was about to lose patience, he slowly began to speak:
"Forgive my bluntness, but the unrest at home is largely due to young friend Ling Mo. Although the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Blessing can stabilize the home and protect the area, if the turbid energy emanating from young friend Ling Mo continues to emanate, the consequences are unpredictable."
Is there a way to break this?
Su Yu raised her sharp, triangular eyes slightly. Although she was talking to Lin Bao, she was glancing at Ling Yunlong, whose expression was solemn, out of the corner of her eye.
Lin Bao stated this with certainty:
“There is a solution. All we need to do now is arrange a marriage for her and send her to her husband’s family.”
"Marriage? Mo Mo is not yet eighteen years old, so it's not appropriate to arrange a marriage at this time."
Ling Yunlong frowned and directly rejected Lin Bao's suggestion.
His resolute attitude was not due to consideration for the shallow father-daughter relationship between him and Ling Mo.
Simply put, I didn't want to give the media, which is always quick to make baseless accusations, any ammunition to criticize me.
Upon hearing this, Lin Bao said with a slightly embarrassed expression:
“Young friend Ling Mo is indeed a bit young, but there is no other way to control the turbid energy around her right now. We can only send her to her husband’s family for the time being so that we can remove her from the family tree.”
