Listening to the screams coming from outside, everyone shuddered involuntarily, a chill rising from their souls.

This chill felt like countless icy cold hands slowly climbing up their spines, making every hair on their body stand on end.

At the same time.

Everyone clearly felt.

The eerie, cold aura that once enveloped the Ye Family mansion had disappeared.

Previously, the mansion seemed shrouded in an invisible veil of darkness, the air filled with a cold and dead silence, every inch of space seemingly filled with the malice of malevolent spirits.

The corridor lights were always dim and flickering, as if evil spirits were playfully toying with the shadows in the dark.

On the walls, pairs of ghostly green eyes seemed to appear and disappear, watching every move within the mansion.

The shadows in the corners were thick like ink that wouldn’t disperse, constantly twisting and writhing as if something was struggling to break free.

But now, they were replaced by a long-lost warmth and peace, like a spring breeze sweeping over the earth, rejuvenating everything and bringing a sense of relief.

The bright moonlight seemed to once again favor this estate, dispelling all the gloom.

Fresh air flowed gently, carrying the faint fragrance of flowers and grass, prompting deep inhalations.

The decorations and furnishings within the mansion seemed to be revitalized, no longer emitting an indescribable eeriness and oppression as before.

Ye Qiu exhaled deeply, a relieved smile spreading across his face, blooming like spring flowers: "Father, it seems that Mister Xu’s talisman really worked, the Ye Family’s crisis is finally over."

The members of the Ye Family all nodded in agreement, although they couldn’t see what the malevolent spirits looked like, they could sense the changes in their home’s aura.

Coming back to their senses, Mr. Ye’s voice slowly echoed: "Girl, Mister Xu has saved our Ye Family, that’s a tremendous favor, we must show our appreciation!"

"Although we paid a billion, befriending such a master of talismans with extraordinary skills is nothing but beneficial for our entire family."

After a pause, he continued: "If we just give him money, or lavish gifts, it might seem too transactional, how about this, let’s have a silk banner made tomorrow, and we can deliver it together!"

------

The next day.

The sun was bright.

The members of the Ye Family, filled with reverence and gratitude, arrived at the Mystic Spirit Pavilion with gongs and drums, creating a grand spectacle.

Although it was morning, and the people on Antique Street were few, it still drew many onlookers.

Because some recognized the identity of the Ye Family members, feeling immensely shocked.

Ye Qiu held a meticulously crafted silk banner, made of top-grade satin, with eight large characters embroidered in golden thread on it: "Mastery of Heaven and Earth, Grace to the Ye Family." It shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.

Upon arriving at Mystic Spirit Pavilion, they saw the shop doors wide open, its signboard shining brightly in the sunlight.

"These three characters are not ordinary! They must be the work of a calligraphy master!"

Mr. Ye, who had a lifelong passion for calligraphy with deep research and unique insights on various works, immediately perceived the extraordinary quality of the Mystic Spirit Pavilion sign.

Its brushwork, structure, and spirit reached a harmonious Realm, unmatched by ordinary calligraphy, prompting his admiration.

In contrast, others did not sense the extraordinary finesse of the sign as profoundly as Mr. Ye did.

Their eyes were more attracted to the unique couplet at the entrance.

The couplet bluntly read, "For those with fate, no charge; for those without, get lost."

The content of this couplet was straightforward yet peculiar, starkly contrasting with the usual elegant and subtle couplets, full of a unique, free-spirited aura.

Seeing this couplet, everyone’s faces unwittingly showed bewildered expressions, all silently wondering, this... isn’t this too unconventional and rebellious?

Xu Wendong was leisurely organizing some items inside the shop, the air filled with a faint sandalwood fragrance, bringing a sense of tranquility.

Today was his second day of business.

Apart from yesterday’s visit by the Ye Family’s eldest daughter, no one else had come to seek his fortune telling and divination services.

This was normal.

After all, the profession of a Fortune Teller had a saying: "one year without opening, ten years of food when open."

It was destined not to have customers coming in endlessly like other businesses.

Just then.

He heard the sound of gongs and drums from outside, sparking his curiosity.

Just then.

Ye Qiu entered with the members of the Ye Family.

Ye Qiu spoke respectfully: "Mister Xu, thanks to your Evil-Dispelling Charm yesterday, the Ye Family was able to turn danger into safety; today, we have come to present this silk banner as a token of our gratitude."

Xu Wendong showed a slight smile: "Miss Ye, you are too courteous, it’s just my duty."

Mr. Ye stepped forward, looking at Xu Wendong with gratitude, sincerity in his eyes: "Mister Xu, you mustn’t be modest. Your great kindness and virtue are remembered by the whole Ye Family."

"Though this banner is insignificant, it represents our family’s heartfelt gratitude, and we hope you will accept it."

Xu Wendong, seeing this, could only nod in consent: "Then I shall graciously accept." Saying this, he took the silk banner.

He then continued: "Although the Ye Family’s crisis has been resolved, you should still pay close attention to the Feng Shui aura of the family estate to prevent similar incidents in the future."

Mr. Ye quickly agreed: "Mister Xu is absolutely right, and we hope you can offer us more guidance."

Xu Wendong pondered for a moment, then said: "Although the Ye Family mansion is grand, some areas inside have a slightly chaotic layout, affecting the flow of the aura."

"For instance, the rock garden in the garden, though aesthetically pleasing, actually impedes the gathering of Spiritual Energy."

"You might as well remodel it into a small Spiritual Spring landscape, which can beautify the environment and aid the smooth circulation of family fortune."

Upon hearing this.

Everyone couldn’t help but feel a tingling at the scalp and a chill down their spines.

Looking at Xu Wendong, their eyes were filled with deep shock and fear.

It’s important to know that Xu Wendong had never been to the Ye Family estate.

Yet he spoke of the mansion’s layout, how could this not astonish them?

Even though there were many powerful cultivators in the world, such a method was not possessed even by those who could summon storms.

Mr. Ye was the first to recover from the shock, and with a face full of respect, he said: "Once I return, I’ll order the renovation of the garden; we won’t disturb you anymore." Saying this, he bowed and led his family out of the Mystic Spirit Pavilion.

After leaving the Mystic Spirit Pavilion, Mr. Ye turned back with a face full of terror, looking at the sign behind him, and said in a fearful tone: "Do you know who he is?"
