Qin Pengchi frowned and pointed at Ye Chen, instructing the two bodyguards,
"Get this man out of here."
As the bodyguards moved forward to eject him, Qin Kexin quickly stood up and said,
"Dad, Mr. Ye is a master I invited here. He’s very capable."
She then pulled out a protective talisman from her pocket and added,
"This is the talisman he gave me. Ever since I started wearing it, I’ve been sleeping peacefully and haven’t had any nightmares."
She couldn’t let Ye Chen leave before the truth was revealed!
Ye Chen stood up and smiled at Qin Pengchi, saying,
"Uncle Qin, I’m not being arrogant, but I’m just telling the truth. Master Zhao Shizhu won’t be able to solve your family’s problem."
"If I don’t intervene, his actions will only backfire, leading to his demise and harming your family in the process."
"Impudent child! If I resolve this minor malevolent energy today, will you kneel and apologize to me?"
Zhao Shizhu retorted angrily.
"And if you can’t?"
Ye Chen shot back.
"If I can’t, I’ll give you my Celestial Master Sword,"
Zhao Shizhu declared, then turned to his disciples and barked, "Bring the incense!"
His two disciples promptly brought out three incense burners, each holding three sticks of incense, though they remained unlit.
Zhao Shizhu began chanting incantations while making hand gestures.
As soon as he finished, the nine sticks of incense ignited simultaneously.
The smoke swirled and coalesced into a gray, humanoid form in the air.
Seeing this, Zhao Shizhu turned to Qin Pengchi and said,
"Mr. Qin, this is the malevolent energy that has gathered in your family. Once I dispel it, your family will be at peace."
"Then I’ll trouble you, Master Zhao,"
Qin Pengchi exhaled deeply in relief.
The family had been tormented for so long, and finally, the problem was about to be resolved.
"A trivial matter,"
Zhao Shizhu said with a relaxed smile. He stepped forward in a pattern resembling the Big Dipper and thrust his Celestial Master Sword into the mist.
As the sword pierced the mist, a shrill scream echoed, startling everyone in the room.
Within seconds, the mist dissipated, and the Qin family members felt a noticeable sense of relief.
Having successfully dispelled the malevolent energy, Zhao Shizhu coldly glared at Ye Chen and said,
"Now, what do you have to say? Kneel and apologize!"
Ye Chen remained calm and replied,
"Why don’t you take a closer look and see if the malevolent energy is truly gone?"
As soon as he spoke, the dissipated mist began to reform!
The gray energy surged toward Zhao Shizhu.
Though he swung his Celestial Master Sword a few times in defense, the energy eventually penetrated his body.
He paled, spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
His disciples panicked, rushing to help him up and check his condition.
The Qin family members, who had felt relieved moments ago, now felt an unbearable weight pressing down on them, as if a thousand-pound boulder had been placed on their shoulders.
The other Feng Shui masters in the room also turned pale.
Such powerful malevolent energy was something they had never encountered before.
A few of them attempted to join forces to eliminate it, but their efforts backfired, leaving them in the same state as Zhao Shizhu.
Qin Pengchi, feeling increasingly uncomfortable, glanced at his daughter and noticed that Qin Kexin seemed completely unaffected.
Could the talisman really be effective? Was this young man truly a hidden master?
With a look of fear, Qin Pengchi turned to Ye Chen and pleaded,
"I was wrong earlier. Please, young friend, save my family!"
All eyes in the room turned to Ye Chen.
[Step aside, he’s about to show off!]
[He’ll use the jade talisman to dispel the malevolent energy, then take away the jade Buddha that was deliberately sold to the Qin family.]
[This malevolent energy was brought by that jade Buddha.]
[It was soaked in the blood of stillborn fetuses and infants for seven days to cultivate this evil energy.]
[If the jade Buddha is destroyed, the person behind this will also suffer backlash.]
Hearing Tang Yu’s inner thoughts, Qin Kexin’s pupils contracted.
Recently, Qin Ming had indeed brought home a jade Buddha, claiming it was a treasure obtained from a high monk.
Suppressing her anger, she turned to Ye Chen and said softly,
"Mr. Ye, we’ll trouble you then."
"Of course. You’re my friend, so the Qin family’s troubles are mine as well,"
Ye Chen replied with a sly smirk.
He pulled out the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Talisman from his pocket, dripped a drop of blood onto it, and it emitted a faint white light.
The gray malevolent energy in the room rapidly converged into the talisman and vanished.
"Such trivial malevolent energy can be dispelled with a snap of my fingers,"
Ye Chen declared arrogantly.
The room filled with looks of admiration.
No matter how boastful he sounded, his genuine skill was undeniable!
The deadly malevolent energy had indeed been dispelled in an instant!
However, less than five seconds later, cracks appeared on the jade talisman in Ye Chen’s hand, and it shattered!
The energy that had been absorbed burst out once more, this time even more intense than before.
In an instant, the entire room was engulfed in a thick, gray mist.
Several members of the Qin family struggled to breathe, their faces pale and speechless.
Ye Chen’s expression also changed.
What was going on?
Had he cultivated too much malevolent energy, and it had spiraled out of control?
[What the hell? This isn’t how it’s supposed to go.]
[Shouldn’t he have resolved it in one go with the talisman?]
[Did something else go wrong?]
Tang Yu was equally confused in his thoughts.
At that moment, Zhao Gaoshen suddenly stood up.
He looked at Ye Chen with disdain and said,
"I thought you were so capable, but it turns out you not only failed to solve the problem but made the malevolent energy even worse."
His words shifted everyone’s gaze back to Ye Chen.
Their expressions turned from admiration to anger and contempt.
This arrogant young man had only made things worse.
Ye Chen recognized Zhao Gaoshen, and his expression darkened.
He realized that the items he had acquired had been tampered with.
Was Zhao Gaoshen behind this, or was there someone else?
Zhao Gaoshen didn’t waste any more words on Ye Chen.
He turned to the terrified crowd and said,
"Everyone, don’t panic. Though this man is useless, our Young Master Tang is a true genius, capable of resolving this minor malevolent energy with a snap of his fingers."
(Oh my goodness)!!!
Tang Yu’s eyes widened in shock.
[Since when am I a genius capable of resolving this?]
[With what am I supposed to snap my fingers?]
[Zhao Gaoshen, you traitor! You’re setting me up for failure! I don’t even know how to do this!]
Tang Yu was completely baffled. He had no idea what to do!
But the crowd was already looking at him with eager anticipation, as if he were the only ray of light in the darkness.
Qin Ming, his head pounding, looked at Tang Yu and said,
"Bro, if you can really save my family, please do something now."
He finally understood why Tang Yu had assured him earlier that the family’s problem would be resolved.
It turned out Tang Yu had been holding back his true abilities!
As expected of his big brother—he could do anything!
Zhao Gaoshen pulled Tang Yu out from the corner.
Dazed, Tang Yu felt something burning in his pocket.
He reached in and pulled out a Yin-Yang Fish Jade Talisman, which had somehow been placed there without his knowledge.
The talisman, now activated by a drop of blood, began to glow brightly.
Holding it, Tang Yu radiated like a miniature sun.
The gray malevolent energy surged toward him but was instantly dissolved by the golden light.

He had transmigrated into the brainless villain of a novel—one who abused his wife, forced the Dragon King’s sister to live in a doghouse, and ended up having his ashes scattered upon the Dragon King’s return. Fortunately, Xu Mu awakened the "Justice System," and he was determined to rewrite his doomed fate. A wife should be cherished, and of course, his sister-in-law deserved to sleep in the villa’s cozy bed. When the Dragon King finally returned, he was greeted by a loving and harmonious family.
