Chapter 116 Burned down the Yu Family Metaphysics Hall?
Zhuo's father looked at him with suspicion and swung the stick at him again, but he held back and did not hit him.
"When you called me for breakfast this morning, I noticed that your forehead was dark and there was a black aura about it. I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen to you, so I went back to my room and drew a talisman for you. When you weren't looking, I secretly slipped it into your pocket. Look, is the talisman still there?"
Zhuo's father tried to reach into his pocket, but couldn't move. Yu Xiaoluo then released him from his restraints. He put his hand in his pocket, which was empty, but there was some dust inside.
When he stretched out his hand, he discovered it was paper ash.
He suddenly remembered that morning when he was driving, a child on a small bicycle rushed out of an alley. To avoid it, he swerved the steering wheel, but unexpectedly, there was a construction vehicle on the other side. However, just before the car was about to hit it, it stopped, stopping for no reason.
He was so terrified that he had no idea what was going on.
Seeing the ashes, he suddenly remembered that something on his trouser leg seemed to be faintly warm. It turned out that his son had really saved his life.
In the past, he would never have believed it, and his son would have been given a good beating for talking nonsense. But looking at Yu Xiaoluo, at these luxurious shops, and at this large group of people, and then at his son's sincere attitude, he felt that he might have really misunderstood his son.
Yu Xiaoluo said calmly, "Trust your son. He has a higher talent in this area than others. Besides, your son will be able to handle the feng shui of your house in the future and help you prosper."
At this moment, Zhuo's father felt rather embarrassed and quickly hid the stick behind his back. "Um, Master Yu, right? Do you accept investments? I'd like to—take a stake."
Everyone was stunned. That 180-degree turn was incredibly fast, happening in just a few minutes.
Yu Xiaoluo was also stunned. Looking at the car Zhuo Fan was driving, she knew that his family was well-off.
"I'm sorry, Uncle, our organization does not currently accept any investment or shareholding. If you or your relatives and friends have any business needs, you can come over, and we will give you priority."
Mr. Zhuo seemed taken aback for a moment, "Then can I ask my son for a favor?"
Now it was Yu Xiaoluo's turn to be confused again. "This—of course, that's fine, but the fee—if it's done during working hours, you'll have to pay; if it's done outside of working hours, you don't have to."
"I'll pay, I'll pay. I have to see my son during work hours; I need to get some results for him. Come on, son, tell your father's fortune—"
Zhuo Fan was also taken aback. "Dad, we haven't opened for business yet. We'll open tomorrow—but you need to make a reservation. No, the owner's place requires reservations, but ours doesn't. Just come early to queue up."
Mr. Zhuo said with a smile, "Okay, I'll get a bunch of relatives and friends to line up for you tomorrow. You'll definitely be the top performer—keep it up—Dad will always be your strong support."
It turned out that the person who had just yelled about killing his son wasn't him, but Zhuo Fan was a little embarrassed. "I'm just helping Brother Hua out—"
Hua Zi quickly waved his hand, "It's okay, let him go. If there are many people tomorrow, we can watch together. If there are few people, he can go first."
"Alright, alright." After saying that, Zhuo's father left happily, but he still carried the stick on his back. It was unclear whether he was reluctant to throw it away or thought he might need it in the future.
Seeing that it was about time, Yu Xiaoluo said to everyone, "You're all tired today, everyone has worked hard, go back and get some rest. Tomorrow will be tough too."
So everyone tidied up together, closed the shop, and went home.
————————
At this moment, several people were sitting in the Chi family's old house.
They were Chi Shangxing and two other elders of the Chi family, Yao Qingfeng and his eldest disciple, and Shangguan Peiyu and her eldest and second disciples.
There are eight people in total.
Yao Qingfeng said worriedly, "Now Yu Xiaoluo is overshadowing the three of our families. How are we going to survive when she opens her business tomorrow?"
Shangguan Peiyu said sarcastically, "If we let her grow up without taking any action, what will become of our three families in Kangba City in the future?"
Yao Qingfeng chuckled, "Shangguan Peiyu, you still have your husband's assets and company to squander and manage, but we old fogies are in a much worse situation."
"So shouldn't you be even more anxious? If I hadn't called you all together today to discuss this matter, you old folks wouldn't even know how you've fallen on hard times."
Yao Qingfeng still wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks to her, after all, everyone knew how her husband died and how he got his assets, but she managed to shut him down, which was a bit awkward.
Yao Qingfeng's eldest disciple, who had always disliked Shangguan Peiyu, shouted, "How dare you speak to my master like that?"
Shangguan Peiyu looked at the eldest disciple and sneered, "You dare to challenge me?"
Although Yao Qingfeng's eldest disciple was very angry, Yao Qingfeng stopped him, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, she always talks like that. Alright, let's get back to the main topic. Old Chi, what's your turn to say?"
Chi Shangxing coughed. "Yu Xiaoluo is indeed very capable. I actually admire her a lot—she has such cultivation at such a young age. Now that she has opened this shop, it has a significant impact on us. We can't openly confront them, so we can only think of some subtle methods."
Shangguan Peiyu's second disciple said, "Master, why don't we set fire to those shops in the middle of the night and burn them down? Let's see how they'll open for business tomorrow."
Everyone looked at each other, realizing that this was indeed the simplest and most direct method.
Chi Shangxing shook his head. "We can't be so reckless as to stop the opening of the Yu Family Metaphysics Hall. It just happens to be our competitor, so naturally people will suspect us."
"So what if they suspect us? As long as they don't have evidence, they can't do anything to us. As long as we disguise ourselves, pick the lock on their shop door, go inside and set it on fire, hehe, then we'll have a good show to watch."
One of the elders of Chishang Xing coughed, "Ahem, this idea wasn't ours. If you want to try it, go ahead."
So the Chi family are all so cunning and shrewd; no wonder they've become the most powerful family.
Shangguan Peiyu snorted coldly, "Heh, you want to send our people, and then report me afterwards, taking the opportunity to wipe out our Shangguan family, right? Old man, you've got a really nice plan."
The elders were speechless for a moment. Chi Shangxing said, "How could we possibly do such a thing? Patriarch Shangguan is really overthinking it, hehe."
