Whatever your feng shui reasons, how dare you disrespect my elder brother? My elder brother didn't save you for money; saving you was just a side effect.

"Hold!"

Yu Feng let out an angry shout.

He delivered a straight left kick.

Caught off guard, Qingyun tumbled into a nearby puddle. Foul-smelling sewage splashed all over his face, soaking his hair. He had just lied, claiming he'd slipped and fallen.

Actually, it was to cover up the embarrassing situation of being so scared that he wet his pants.

Now that Yu Feng has made his "dream come true," he is still in a daze.

My head is buzzing.

Unexpectedly, Yu Feng dared to make a direct move.

They are public figures, yet they act so recklessly.

"Damn it, you dare hit me? You little brat, how dare you?" Qingyun couldn't help but shout, but he froze as soon as he finished speaking.

He can no longer be considered a public figure.

In this environment, it is impossible to contact the outside world through live streaming equipment.

No one outside knows what happened here.

"Fang Qiu, did you film the beating? Did you record this guy?"

He turned his attention to Fang Qiu.

He had initially been grateful to Fang Qiu for saving wild vegetables for him over the past few days, but his attitude changed instantly. His change of heart was faster than turning the pages of a book, catching everyone off guard.

Yu Feng acted with such swiftness.

Fang Qiu didn't have time to record it with live streaming equipment.
With no signal at all, who would still be carrying a camera to take pictures?

Besides, they're in such a sorry state right now, what's there to film?

If I were to make my experiences of this day and night public, I'd probably lose all my followers.

"No."

Despite the turmoil in her mind, Fang Qiu answered truthfully.

"No? You actually said no?! Why do I pay you a salary? You can't even do your job properly, what use are you? I didn't hire you to be a laughing stock, understand?" Qingyun continued to berate him, his whole demeanor bordering on madness.

Witnessing this scene, Lone Wolf frowned.

I really don't understand why this person is so despicable.

How could someone with such qualities and character become a top streamer?

Not only Lone Wolf, but Zhao Ren also looked disdainful. A grown man arguing with a young girl over something she hadn't done anything wrong. It was pure rage; he didn't dare offend the people in front of him, so he only dared to vent his anger on his assistant.

"I quit."

"I don't want this job anymore, I can't do it."

Fang Qiu suddenly shouted at Qingyun, her originally gentle demeanor now transformed into a fierce one.

Qingyun's unfounded accusations were unbearable for her.

When she said those words, she was prepared to forgo her salary.

I'd rather forgo this month's salary; there's no future working for a boss like that. You look down on me? I don't even respect you! You're such a grown man, yet you act like a child.

Why should everyone indulge you?
These guys are clearly here to help.

It was you who insisted on asking for compensation.

It's ridiculous that you complain about the price they offer.

"Little girl, you dare to say you're quitting? You don't want this month's salary? I've always treated you well, and now you're telling me this? You're sabotaging me when I need your help the most? Very well, you've successfully angered me. Pack your things and get out of here." Qingyun's face twisted as she gritted her teeth.

Fang Qiu met his gaze without fear and directly retorted:

"Fine, I don't want it. Do you think I care about a few measly coins?"

To be honest, she didn't do this job entirely for the money.

She initially had a good impression of Qingyun, which is why she applied for the assistant position.

Who knew that during the process of getting to know them better,

Fang Qiu gradually saw through Qingyun's true colors.

He is not the gentle and refined Qingyun he appears to be on camera.

Even so, Fang Qiu still chose to stay by his side.

It wasn't until this time that she truly saw Qingyun's true character.

Haha, I was too naive.

She once considered him her dream lover.

Fortunately, I didn't voice my feelings, otherwise I would have become a laughing stock.

"Stinky money? Good, very good! I always thought Fang Qiu was a sensible girl."

"I never expected someone to say something like that."

"You've probably always complained about how low my salary is, haven't you? You've been harboring resentment for a long time, haven't you?"

The two sides have completely parted ways.

And it's the kind of situation where there's absolutely no room for maneuver.

Lin Beichen had no time to care what they thought.

At this moment, he was intently examining the Taoist temple in front of him.

After a meticulous search, he finally discovered the most valuable item in the Taoist temple.

Without a doubt, the objects held by those bronze statues are all treasures. Regardless of their specific functions, their appearance alone indicates that they are ancient antiques.

He didn't hesitate to put all the money in his bag.

……

Yu Feng followed silently behind.

Norōsuke and others were the same.

Although Qingyun was unwilling, he had no choice but to go along with it.

The only way to leave this place is to rely on the man in front of me.

Lin Beichen took several antiques from the statue and stuffed them into his backpack.

Qingyun hesitated, then swallowed her words.

For now, he could only endure it and discuss everything after they were freed. Otherwise, if these people used underhanded tactics, he might truly be trapped in this desolate place forever. Currently, within this small group, he was clearly the one being ostracized.

Are these items still of any use?

Yu Feng couldn't help but ask a question.

"Of course it's useful. You could say that all the most precious items in this Taoist temple are in my bag."

Lin Beichen made no attempt to hide anything and spoke frankly.

"Okay, we can set off now."

Upon hearing this, everyone except Lin Beichen and his group breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter whether they leave sooner or later.

But for the others who were trapped for a day and a night...

These words were like heavenly music. They were finally able to leave.

They didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a second longer.

"Brother Lin Beichen, do you have any matters to attend to recently? Could you take me with you?"

Wang Baozi couldn't help but ask.

He had been looking for an opportunity to get in touch with Lin Beichen.

She thought that at least she would be safe if she stayed by his side.

It can at least broaden one's horizons, so consider it a kind of travel experience.

"The matter I'm dealing with is quite dangerous; you shouldn't get involved."

"Your career is going quite well now, you'd better keep a low profile." Lin Beichen glanced at Wang Baozi. This guy really brings trouble wherever he goes.

"Okay, I understand, Brother Lin Beichen."

After being told that, Wang Baozi scratched his head sheepishly.

Then, with expectant eyes, she looked at Lin Beichen:

"Brother Lin Beichen, could you please read my face and predict my fortune?"

He had no doubt about Lin Beichen's abilities.

If I hadn't met Brother Lin Beichen back then, I probably would have lost my life long ago.

Now that we've had such a rare reunion, how could we not make the most of this opportunity?

"One hundred thousand," Lin Beichen said calmly.

He was almost speechless. What did this kid take him for? Asking for a fortune telling right off the bat—was this trust, or was he just being taken advantage of?

"No problem, no problem! I'll put up 200,000, and I'll also help my brother get his fortune told."

Wang Baozi pulled Wang Lvdou, who was standing next to him, over to him.

He was very loyal and didn't forget to bring his brothers along. Wang Lvdou had also long admired Lin Beichen, and having often been by Wang Baozi's side, he had come to have unwavering faith in Lin Beichen's abilities.

"Wow, you've really struck it rich, kid. You're so extravagant."

Yu Feng was speechless with astonishment.

If it weren't for the money I made from Norasuke beforehand.

He couldn't possibly be as generous as Wang Baozi.

"I only made a little money, cough cough, it's nothing."

"If it weren't for Brother Lin Beichen's help back then, I would have been finished long ago."

"Now that we have the means, we naturally want to support my elder brother's business."

Wang Baozi spoke with a hint of smugness.

He especially wanted to show off in front of Yu Feng.

Taking care of the business? Lin Beichen felt rather helpless.

I don't lack that little bit of money. Are you trying to patronize the business, or are you really looking to have your fortune told?
Lin Beichen was too lazy to say anything more.

Without saying anything more, Lin Beichen carefully examined Wang Baozi and Wang Lvdou's faces. He then hastily concluded that they looked exactly the same as when they first met.

He made his judgment so casually.

But Wang Baozi had no doubts whatsoever.

He knew Lin Beichen was highly skilled. Others, when seeking divination or fortune-telling, might ask many questions and examine his bones and hands.

But Lin Beichen's older brother is different.

He can get a general idea with just one glance.

"Your future is bright, there's nothing wrong with you. As for your brother, he might have some romantic opportunities soon."

The mention of romantic luck immediately brought amusement to everyone's expressions.
Wang Lvdou, in particular, was beaming with joy.

I never expected to encounter such a good thing.

He'd heard about Lin Beichen's extraordinary abilities from Wang Baozi. Since this big shot claimed to have many suitors, it was practically a done deal. It seemed his luck was truly about to change.

……

Qingyun did not believe Lin Beichen's divination.

Not only Qingyun didn't believe it, but most others were also skeptical.

The main problem was that the process was too hasty. Lin Beichen spoke too casually.

It feels like a complete rip-off. They drew conclusions after only a few moments and a quick glance? Even lying isn't done this perfunctorily; it's hard to believe them.

"That's just nonsense. If he could tell fortunes like that, I could too."

"This conman can really get us out of here? Judging by his skills, I'm pretty skeptical."

Some people pondered secretly.

"He probably just made it up off the top of his head. Earning two hundred thousand yuan like that is way too easy, just a few words."

"Oh, I could do that too."

"Two hundred thousand, and it's gone so easily."

"Damn it, this is so frustrating. I want to make that money too."

Everyone had their own thoughts. Of course, Lin Beichen didn't care about their opinions.

Who cares what they think?

What does it have to do with me?
They are destined to have little interaction.

"A stroke of luck in love? That's fantastic! This money was well spent!"

Wang Lvdou couldn't help but clap his hands in delight. But Lin Beichen's next words made him freeze instantly.

"Don't be too happy yet. It's true there are potential suitors."

Lin Beichen said in a deep voice.

"But your luck with romance is different from most people's; you're destined to be surrounded by romantic entanglements."

Those four simple words sent Wang Lüdou's emotions through a rollercoaster. One moment he was beaming with joy, the next he was utterly dejected. Could it be?! Was he really destined for romance?

"There's no need to be too nervous. Taking precautions in advance will prevent any major problems."

"Just try to stay away from women as much as possible, and you should be fine in about a year."

Lin Beichen offered a solution.

Wang Lvdou nodded blankly.

I haven't quite recovered from this news yet.

"Hurry up and thank Brother Lin Beichen! If it weren't for his prediction, you'd be in real trouble."

Wang Baozi slapped Wang Lvdou on the shoulder, reminding him to be mindful of manners.

"No need for formalities. I don't care about such empty gestures."

"Just do as you please. Our meeting is fate, and it's also your own destiny."

Lin Beichen waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite.

As they walked, the group unknowingly escaped the strange cycle they had been in before.

However, no one noticed this point, as they were all pondering what Lin Beichen had just said.

Just as Qingyun hesitated whether to question Lin Beichen, he suddenly realized they had reached the foot of the mountain. He was immediately stunned; this was truly amazing, almost unbelievable. This man indeed possessed genuine skill, and he had been so rude earlier.

He was filled with remorse.

He even wanted to slap himself twice.

Why did I do such an absurd thing before?

Even if you can't befriend such a person, you shouldn't offend them at all.

Qingyun was very puzzled as to why she had such thoughts before.

This is actually normal. After escaping the magnetic field's vicious cycle, one's thinking is no longer amplified or worsened by it. It's understandable that one can now comprehend things that were previously incomprehensible.

"Great kindness needs no words of thanks."

Lone Wolf approached Lin Beichen respectfully and said...

He then took out a stack of cash from his bag.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation. I understand... it's far from enough to compare with your kindness, but it's a token of my gratitude. If you ever need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask." Lone Wolf presented this token of gratitude on behalf of himself and Zhaoren.

The money may not be much, but it represents a heartfelt sentiment.

Feng Wu and Feng Ju also took out some cash.

Although not as rich as Lone Wolf's, it still amounted to several thousand.

They could tell that Lin Beichen was not short of money; the amount was just a token gesture.

"Yes, you can come to me if you encounter any difficulties in the future."

"Just contact Wang Baozi directly. I'll help when I have time."

Lin Beichen responded politely.

He did not refuse and readily accepted the payment.

Since it's a well-deserved reward, why be coy?

Although we are now financially strong, every little bit helps.

"Um... Master, is there a problem with the feng shui of our village? Could you please take a look?" Just as Lin Beichen was about to leave Shanmen Village, Feng Wu, who had hesitated for a long time, finally mustered up the courage to ask. As the son of the village chief, he was not short of money, but only wanted this master to take a look at Shanmen Village.

The feng shui layout of the village was not problematic; Lin Beichen had already carefully examined it.

The only remaining hidden danger has now been resolved. Lin Beichen never intended to harm the villagers; he would never do such a heinous thing. However, someone was dissatisfied with his handling of the situation—Feng Wu, the person involved. Lin Beichen asserted that the village's feng shui was unaffected, but Feng Wu was unhappy about it and even wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Lin Beichen.

"Is there really no problem with the village's feng shui?"

"If there were no problem, how could this have happened? Perhaps you could take another look, Master?"

Feng Wu said with a forced smile.

Lin Beichen frowned slightly and responded with a hint of impatience:

“If I said it’s nothing, then it’s nothing. Our village has excellent feng shui, so even if you ask a hundred or a thousand times, it will still be the same.” After saying this, Lin Beichen led Yu Feng and the others away from Shanmen Village.

Wang Baozi watched Lin Beichen leave, a feeling of reluctance welling up in his heart.

He understood that he and Lin Beichen were not from the same world.

“Why be disappointed? You’re famous now. Do you really want to go on those dangerous missions? Those jobs might not pay much, and you could even lose your life,” Wang Lvdou asked Wang Baozi.

Wang Baozi answered listlessly:

"Entertainment to the death? No, I can earn this money comfortably only because they are carrying the burden ahead of me. I also yearn for that kind of life, but an ordinary person like me would only be a burden." (End of Chapter)
