Qin Kexin maintained a well-crafted facade, and accepted the amulet with a soft voice.
"Alright, thank you, I'll wear it."
"We are friends, there's no need to be so formal."
Ye Chen said with a hint of satisfaction in his smile.
He knew, as long as Qin Kexin brought this amulet home, the malevolent energy in her house would cease to harm her.
When she noticed its effects, she would inevitably attempt to seek his assistance in resolving her family's turmoil.
This way, his plan to take over the Qin family would be accomplished.
When that time comes, he would deal with Qin Ming, and he would have complete control over the Qin family, wouldn’t he?
This time, he felt that everything was beginning to fall into place!
Longya! Not much longer till we both can enjoy a casual burger together, my brother!
Qin Kexin nodded her head, cautiously putting away the amulet.
After some time spent wandering around the shop, she left the antique store.
Ye Chen also hurried after her, departing soon after.
Once they had left, Tang Yu emerged from behind a merchandise cabinet.
He made a round, eventually stopping in front of one particular cabinet. Upon it lay a jade talisman.
The Yin-Yang Fish Jade Talisman was meticulously carved, a lifelike masterpiece making its commanding presence.
The price tag of the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Talisman read 880,000.
According to the original plot, not long after, Ye Chen would come to the store to purchase this Yin-Yang Fish Jade Talisman.
This was his show-off prop, a piece that could absorb all the malevolent energy.
Gazing at the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Talisman,
Tang Yu hesitated for a moment, ultimately deciding not to take it.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t the son of fortune.
He wasn’t some fabled protagonist who would know how to use every skill from the get-go.
As per the established storyline, the Dragon King was omnipotent.
Feng shui, medicine, gambling, gemstone appraisal, he was proficient in everything.
This artifact, only he could make use of it to solve problems.
However, watching Ye Chen easily secure the Qin family did stir up Tang Yu's dissatisfaction.
He could not merely sit by and watch his own brotherhood being torn apart and played with by this bastard.
Even villains have lives!
So, after pondering for a while, he decided to take a rebellious step that went against his ancestors.
"Uncle Zhao, could you come here for a moment?"
Tang Yu beckoned to Zhao Gaoshen, who was cracking sunflower seeds behind the counter.
Zhao Gaoshen immediately dropped the sunflower seeds and ran over, looking at Tang Yu, he asked,
"What's the matter, young master Tang?"
"Be sure to keep a close eye on this Yin-Yang Fish Jade Talisman. Apart from a customer named Ye Chen, do not sell it to anyone. Got it?"
Tang Yu warned him.
This keyifact had to fall into Ye Chen's hands to resolve the crisis of the Qin family. There could be no mistake in this process. Since the damn plot was always falling apart, he would need to exert his efforts.
Zhao Gaoshen nodded his head, with some sense of familiarity towards the name that Tang Yu had mentioned.
After thinking for a while, a sudden realization hit him.
Ye Chen, wasn’t this the loser that Wang mentioned some time back in the chat group?
It was rumored that this bastard dared to compete with young master Tang for a woman.
After Wang taught him a lesson, he got promoted and transferred overseas.
Could it be that fate was providing me an opportunity?
Understanding young master Tang's hidden intentions, he smirked, realizing the actual command behind his words.
They were about to set a trap for this boy, weren't they?
"Moreover, increase the price a bit, thirty million would suffice."
Tang Yu added.
The Yin-Yang Fish Jade Talisman is something Ye Chen must own, it shouldn't be too cheap for him.
Extracting some money from this bastard for charity wouldn't hurt either.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tang. I understand."
Zhao Gaoshen patted his chest forcefully, he knew his chance to prove himself had arrived.
"Good, it's all up to you."
Tang Yu gave a thumbs up to Zhao Gaoshen.
The story involving Qin Kexin's family must go on smoothly.
Only after Ye Chen resolves the issues with Qin's family, could he reveal this dog's true colors behind the scenes.
Face-to-face confrontation is out of the question!
But sabotage from behind? A viable option!
Once Tang Yu left the store, Zhao Gaoshen immediately took out the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Talisman from the cabinet.
This item was personally collected by him from the outside, he obtained two at that time, representing Yin and Yang.
Having worked in the store for many years, he was thoroughly familiar with related knowledge.
He knew what the real function of this Yin-Yang Fish Jade Talisman was.
"So, the runt named Ye Chen wants to buy this thing, is it to eliminate the evil spirits?"
This conjecture made Zhao Gaoshen chuckle and he ran to fetch a box.
Inside, there was an identical jade talisman - it was a Yin talisman from the pair of Yin and Yang talismans.
The Yang talisman amongst the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Talismans is used to eliminate evil spirits!
The Yin talisman is used to nurture evil spirits!
If placed in an area highly infested with evil spirits...
He chuckled sinisterly.
After swapping the two talismans, he put the Yin talisman in the cabinet and marked its price as thirty million.
Once everything was settled, he contentedly returned to the counter.
Quietly waiting to see the cutthroat bastard who dares to compete with his young master Tang over a woman fall into the trap!
About half an hour later, sure enough, Ye Chen walked in from outside.
He circled around in the store, then strolled to the counter where the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Talismans were displayed.
When he accompanied Qin Kexin in earlier, he had eyes on this item immediately, knowing it to be an excellent tool against evil spirits!
In order to handle the Qin's family issues, he didn't need these artifacts as he himself was more than capable of handling it.
But what he didn't expect was, the Fengshui of the old Qin house was truly spectacular.
The Fengshui arrangement which accumulates wind and conceals water, known as the golden belt, started to accrue evil spirits at an exaggerated pace after his meddling.
Under these circumstances, he had no choice but to resort to using artifacts!
But as he saw the price, his face subtly changed, he banged the glass and shouted.
"Are you guys robbing people? This thing costs thirty million? You probably added two extra zeros, right?"
Zhao Gaoshen, who was munching sunflower seeds, walked over with a smile on his face.
"Boss, we're not trying to rip you off, this was received by our store last month."
"This precious item was obtained from a prince's tomb from the Song Dynasty, the price is absolutely reasonable."
"Cut the crap, I know these things better than you, one word, will you sell it for five hundred thousand?”
Ye Chen coldly asked.
Among the things he hated the most in his life, one of them was people trying to cheat his money!
"Friend, don't joke with me. Yesterday, a feng shui master from Hong Kong Island said that this item is a treasure, and he plans to come over to buy it tomorrow."
"Take it or leave it, it doesn't matter to me who I sell it to."
Zhao Gaoshen nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders, ready to go back to the counter.
Upon hearing that someone else was interested in this item, Ye Chen's face subtly changed.
After contemplating for a moment, he eventually dug deep into his pocket and slammed his hand down on the desk.
"Alright, alright, wrap it up for me."
The item might be expensive, but it was nothing compared to conquering the Qin family!
Once he seized control of the Qin family, their billions of dollars in assets would be his.
Zhao Gaoshen immediately ran over with a smile and carefully packed the item for Ye Chen.
After Ye Chen left the shop, Zhao Gaoshen's smile faded into a cold expression.
He scoffed, spat disdainfully on the ground.
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
