Chapter 4134 The Newly Hired Assistant
In this exchange, I was immediately at a disadvantage, but I still wanted to put up a fight.
"Uncle Tang, I really put in a lot of effort for this event. We were almost killed by that Blood Lotus Dharma King. Don't you have to do something for us?" I said pitifully.
"What do you mean? You did a good job, kid? Didn't I already give you a heads-up before I left? You're not satisfied with taking advantage of me, are you?" Tang Shangning asked a series of questions, his face full of impatience.
They didn't have this attitude when they left, but now that they've finished the work, this is their true colors.
“Last time I expressed my gratitude because I gave you the medicine packet. This time it’s because the mission was completed and the Blood Lotus Dharma King was killed. The situations are different, so of course I need to express my gratitude separately. Uncle Tang, think about it carefully,” I said quickly.
"Don't even think about it. You came here to extort money from me, didn't you? Don't you even know where you are? Believe me or not, I'll call for help!" Tang Shangning slammed his hand on the table.
"You old Tang! You're turning your back on me now, aren't you?" I was so angry I almost jumped up.
"Close the door behind you when you leave, don't keep me from reading the documents." Old Tang picked up the documents on the table again, waved them at me like he was shooing away a fly.
I was helpless; there's just no way to deal with this kind of old fox...
In a fit of anger, I stomped my foot and looked at the chubby boy beside me: "Let's go, we won't let him work for us next time."
"Fine, let's go." Little Fatty stomped his foot, and we were both seething with resentment.
Fortunately, I didn't lose out this time. At least Sister Na's cultivation level has greatly improved. Once Sister Na has completely digested the Blood Lotus Dharma King's soul, she will probably be able to help me stand alone when she appears next time.
Thinking about it makes me quite happy.
Little Fatty and I sulked and went back into the courtyard house.
I don't have a single penny on me right now, so I'm thinking about how to get some money to spend. I did manage to get a lot of talismans from Tang Shangning, and I can get a lot of money by selling them through Sister Hua. But when I think about how I'm already in my hands, I feel like I'm losing out.
In the past year or two, I've been traveling around a lot and rarely home, which has caused many people who used to consult me for feng shui to stop contacting me because they can't wait for me to come back and have gone to other people for feng shui consultations. Now, even when I ask Uncle Hu to help me find work, he can't get any.
It seems I need to get back to my main profession. I'm a legitimate feng shui master. I've done so many shady jobs that I almost forgot my true identity.
Having no money made me feel insecure, and I felt a little uncomfortable eating and drinking all day.
Two days after Xiao Pang and I returned to the courtyard house, one afternoon, a person suddenly rushed to my house in a hurry. This person looked somewhat unfamiliar.
As soon as he entered, the young man shouted, "Young Master Wu...is Young Master Wu home?"
Hearing the commotion, Uncle Hu came out carrying Tiger Cub. He looked the man up and down and asked, "Where are you from? What business do you have with our young master?"
"I'm Xiao Zhou, Master Zhou's newly recruited assistant. I have something very important to discuss with Young Master Wu," Xiao Zhou said anxiously.
"So you're one of Master Zhou's men. Come in, the young master is home," Uncle Hu greeted.
Now Uncle Tiger has become a stay-at-home dad. Sister Hua goes to work during the day, while he stays home to take care of the children and cook, and he enjoys it immensely.
Actually, I envy Uncle Hu's life now. It's very stable. He has children, a wife, a warm bed, and most importantly, he can still live off his wife.
Sister Hua's monthly salary is quite substantial, plus he earned a considerable amount working for me before.
Hearing the noise, Little Fatty and I came out of the living room and bumped right into Little Zhou.
Upon seeing me and Little Fatty, Little Zhou excitedly asked, "Which one is Young Master Wu?"
"Yes, Master Zhou sent you here?" I looked at Xiao Zhou.
“Yes, my boss ran into some trouble. Before he had the accident, he told me to come and find you if anything happened to him. Now, my boss suddenly fainted while helping someone with feng shui matters in Zhejiang and we can’t wake him up no matter what we do, so I ran all the way to Yanbei to find you,” Xiao Zhou said anxiously.
If even Master Zhou couldn't handle it, then it's no ordinary feng shui case; it must involve some kind of demon or monster.
If I can help Master Zhou sort this out, I'll definitely get the lion's share.
Now all I want is to make some money. Even if it's just 100,000 or 200,000, I won't be intimidated. And look, business has come knocking on my door.
Master Zhou and I are long-term strategic partners. If something happens to him, I certainly can't stand idly by.
"Xiao Zhou, don't worry, what happened to your Master Zhou?" I asked quickly.
"My boss and I went on a business trip to southern Zhejiang to help a Mr. Lin with feng shui. While we were doing that, my boss suddenly collapsed to the ground and wouldn't wake up," Xiao Zhou said, her voice trembling with tears.
"Were there any warning signs before the accident?" I became curious.
"No... I was with our boss the whole time. He took a compass and walked around the vicinity of Mr. Lin's old house. Then he collapsed on the ground without any warning. It scared me to death. Mr. Lin was also very frightened. He took our boss to the hospital, but they couldn't find anything wrong. He just won't wake up." Xiao Zhou was almost crying.
Our line of work is a high-risk industry. Putting aside our enemies, if we encounter any powerful feng shui formations, we might even be backfired by them.
Judging from Xiao Zhou's expression, I knew that Boss Zhou was in a dangerous situation. Without hesitation, I said, "Xiao Zhou, I'll go with you to take a look now."
"Thank you... thank you, Young Master Wu. If you hadn't gone, I really wouldn't know who else to ask," Xiao Zhou said repeatedly.
So, Xiao Pang, Xiao Zhou, and I booked tickets for that afternoon and flew directly to southern Zhejiang. After a long journey, we arrived at the hospital where Master Zhou was staying.
Master Zhou was placed in a separate ward, surrounded by various instruments that constantly made various noises.
As soon as I saw Master Zhou, I activated my third eye and carefully examined him. At that glance, I knew something was wrong. There was a very strong malevolent aura emanating from him, indicating that he had definitely been offended.
This kind of thing might be difficult for others to solve, but for me, it's a piece of cake.
I walked over to Master Zhou, took out the Heavenly Gang Seal, and slapped it down on his chest.
Driven by spiritual power, the runes on the Heavenly Gang Seal flickered continuously. After a while, the baleful aura on Master Zhou's body quickly gathered towards the Heavenly Gang Seal. In just a few minutes, Master Zhou, who was unconscious, slowly opened his eyes.
