"Mr. Yang, it’s like this," Yue Zhongren said, "Last ti, didn’t you ntion that if the custor who bought the Jade Buddha wanted to find you for exorcism, they could co to you anyti?"
"Yes," Yang Yu smiled, "You all haven’t been looking for , and I thought you didn’t need anymore."
Yue Zhongren gave a bitter smile, "The main reason is that they felt ten million was too expensive. They found other Feng Shui Masters, and then one after another, those Feng Shui Masters t with misfortunes. No one locally dares to take their commission anymore, and that’s when they rembered Mr. Yang."
"Ten billion for a Jade Buddha isn’t expensive, but ten million for purification is?" Yang Yu’s face showed disdain, "Tell them, I’ve raised my price now, twenty million, they can take it or leave it!"
No wonder Yang Yu was angry; he had given them a price of ten million out of respect for Boss Yue, but they dared to find it too expensive. In that case, he felt no need to give them any more respect.
So people are just like that, there’s no helping it.
Yue Zhongren felt like crying, "Mr. Yang, please give so face, just charge ten million. They are my important clients, and if the price is suddenly raised, they will think I’m unreliable."
"Alright, alright," Yang Yu acquiesced, "Have them deliver the Jade Buddha to my place, take it directly to the rooftop, and I’ll set up a Feng Shui Array to drive away the evil."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Li had returned to her usual self, "Yang Yu, what else do you know about the Dragon Slayer Organization?"
Yang Yu said, "What I know is that this organization was first called ’Assassin Alliance.’ It appeared during our Xia Country’s Spring and Autumn period and was later renad to ’Dragon Slayer,’ because they felt that the na ’assassin’ implied sothing sneaky, while ’Dragon Slayer’ sounded more domineering."
"To give the organization a distinctive feature, each mber would have a noticeable scar sliced across their face, on the left for males and on the right for females."
"As long as the price is right, they even dare to assassinate emperors. Murder and treasure hunting are their two main ways of making money. I thought they had disappeared, but it turns out they have survived until now."
Hearing so much from Yang Yu, Yu Li’s face took on an unprecedented gravity, "Are you saying that it’s highly possible they are now involved with the Li Family?"
"Yes," Yang Yu said, "I speculate that the Scarred man beside Second Young Master Li is likely the broker between him and Dragon Slayer. Based on the timing of my uncle’s murder, that Scarred man should know sothing. Catching him could lead us to the murderer."
"I understand," Yu Li looked at Yang Yu seriously, "If there’s any news about Dragon Slayer, rember to inform imdiately."
"I will," Yang Yu parked the car, "We’ve reached the police station, so I won’t get out to walk you in."
"Okay, thank you for handling my stepfather’s matter," Yu Li unbuckled her seatbelt. Yang Yu was about to say "You’re welco," but Yu Li had already rushed back into the police station with urgent steps.
Yang Yu knew she was eager for revenge, but couldn’t help comnting, "Captain Yu’s more feminine side is way more attractive, sigh!"
Yang Yu returned ho to find that Yue Zhongren had already delivered the Jade Buddha to his rooftop.
Not only had Yue Zhongren co, but Yue Yao had co along as well.
Besides them, there was also a young woman next to Yue Yao.
This young woman looked ordinary, but she possessed an extraordinary and ethereal aura, as if she didn’t belong to this mundane world.
Yang Yu gave the woman a glance and smiled aningfully, not saying much, "Boss Yue, it was enough that you ca, why did you bring her along? Don’t tell you don’t know she’s always disliked ."
"You!" Yue Yao was about to lose her temper but was stopped by Yue Zhongren, "Ah Yao, don’t forget what I brought you here for!"
Yue Yao, struggling to contain her anger, approached Yang Yu and suddenly bowed deeply to him, "Master, I respectfully request that you take as your disciple, and teach the Antique Identification Skill."
Yang Yu glanced at Bai Xuefeng and imdiately understood Yue Zhongren’s intentions.
Yue Zhongren wanted his daughter to beco his disciple, thereby binding him to the Yuxiu Auction House.
Even if he knew that his daughter wouldn’t learn much, that did not matter. What he valued was the master-disciple relationship.
After all, a master-disciple relationship is much stronger than a re employnt relationship, right?
It was exactly as Yang Yu had thought; Yue Zhongren had realized that Yang Yu was becoming more powerful and his network was expanding, so he must secure this relationship as soon as possible.
Seeing that Yang Yu did not respond, Yue Zhongren hadn’t yet said anything when Yue Yao beca impatient, "Hey, Mr. Yang, asking you to accept as your disciple is giving you face, don’t be ungrateful!"
"You!" Yue Zhongren was almost angered to death by his own daughter, wishing he could slap her.
He only had this one daughter, but he never imagined she could be so foolish.
Life, it’s all about fate!
Yang Yu was amused by Yue Yao and couldn’t help but laugh, "To beco a disciple is fine, but first you must kneel and offer tea, which is the necessary ritual for apprenticeship. Second, you need to present a gift. Otherwise, what’s in it for to accept you as my disciple?"
"You!" Yue Yao was furious, nearly rushing forward to slap Yang Yu twice, "If you think I’m going to kneel to you, think again!"
"Mr. Yang, the matter of accepting a disciple isn’t urgent, please help first," the woman suddenly spoke up, "My family is waiting on this Jade Buddha to pray for blessings."
"Okay, let’s attend to your matter first," Yang Yu said to Bai Xuefeng standing beside him, "Xuefeng, go back to the Bai Family and bring five large jade stones, about this size."
Yang Yu gestured, and Bai Xuefeng imdiately understood, "Got it, Master. I’ll have it arranged and sent over right now."
With Bai Xuefeng gone, Yang Yu then said, "Boss Yue, please take a seat. And the lady as well... Sorry, how may I address you?"
"Xia Yu, from Yanjing," Xia Yu simply stated her na and origin, then got straight to the point, "I’m very curious. I wonder how Mr. Yang plans to ’purify the Evil Energy’?"
"I will set up a Feng Shui Array, which will purify the Evil Energy from the Jade Buddha," Yang Yu answered Xia Yu’s question, "Miss Xia, do you have any concerns?"
"All the Feng Shui Masters our family consulted did just that, but each one of them suffered backlash, falling ill with serious diseases or encountering various accidents and misfortunes," Xia Yu said seriously, looking at Yang Yu, "I must remind Mr. Yang to be extrely cautious."
"You don’t trust ," Yang Yu laughed and calmly brewed the tea, "Talking too much is pointless; I will prove everything with facts."
Seeing Yang Yu be so confident, Xia Yu did not say anything else.
"The tea is ready." Yang Yu handed the tea to Xia Yu, who picked up the teacup and her eyes lit up instantly, "Is the tea-brewing thod you’re using the ancient tea art from Xia Country?"
"Others only know that the tea I make tastes good, but only Miss Xia knows that I use a special tea-brewing technique," Yang Yu said, smiling at Xia Yu, "It seems, Miss Xia has an extraordinary background!"
