Chapter 130: Needing a Person with Deep Blessings to Dispel Evil Spirits

The man in the brocade robe gazed at Xingxing with great excitement.

Xingxing, however, felt a bit frightened. Just as Yu Sanbao stepped forward to greet the guests, she took a small step back and hid behind him.

Yu Sanbao assumed that the man in the brocade robe and the one in the Taoist robe were customers and greeted them with a smile. "You two look unfamiliar. Are you new here? What would you like to see?"

The man in the brocade robe barely managed to contain his excitement but asked an unrelated question, "...Is this little girl your daughter?"

Yu Sanbao was startled for a moment but quickly realized that the man was referring to Xingxing. He had often been mistaken for her father, so this didn’t surprise him much.

He looked lovingly at Xingxing, who was hiding behind his legs, and smiled. "This is my niece."

Disappointment flashed across the man in the brocade robe’s face, and he quickly followed up with, "May I ask where this child’s parents are? I have a pressing matter to discuss with them."

Sensing something was off, Yu Sanbao reached out to protect Xingxing and regarded the man in the brocade robe with caution, his attitude turning cold. "Why do you need to know this?"

"It's a life-threatening situation..." The man in the brocade robe appeared anxious, but Yu Sanbao had already become quite wary of his intentions.

Mentioning a life-and-death situation concerning a young child made it seem like an attempt to kidnap her. Seeing Yu Sanbao’s unwelcoming attitude, the man in the brocade robe grew anxious and looked helplessly at the Taoist-robed man beside him.

The Taoist-robed man quickly interjected, "Please don't be upset, friend... We had no alternatives and have come here in a manner that may seem impolite. But it is indeed a matter of life and death. We wouldn't have come otherwise."

With each word he spoke, the man in the brocade robe nodded vigorously in agreement.

By the time he finished, the man in the brocade robe had been nodding repeatedly.

Yu Sanbao furrowed his brow. Despite having traveled widely and encountered some genuinely skilled individuals, leading to an instinctive fondness for Taoist practitioners, he remained highly cautious. "...Then tell me, what do you mean by a life-threatening situation?"

The Taoist-robed man let out a small sigh of relief, glad that Yu Sanbao was willing to listen.

He pointed to the man in the brocade robe beside him and informed Yu Sanbao, "This gentleman is Lord Pang. His family owns a cloth shop. As a businessman yourself, you've likely heard of him."

"The Pang family from the Jinxiu Cloth Shop?" Yu Sanbao was somewhat surprised.

Before establishing the Yujia Commercial Store, he had been involved in the cloth trade and had heard of the Pang family. Thus, Yu Sanbao was not unfamiliar with them.

The man in the brocade robe, seeing that Yu Sanbao knew of him, nodded repeatedly and eagerly, "Yes, yes, the Jinxiu Cloth Shop is my family’s business."

Yu Sanbao did not let his guard down.

Although the Pang family was a well-known business family in the county, this did not dispel Yu Sanbao’s suspicions. After all, they were clearly targeting Xingxing. When it came to Xingxing, he couldn’t afford to be careless.

The Taoist-robed man bowed and explained, "...It's good that you're familiar with the Pang family, sir. We are not frauds. The truth is, Lord Pang's only son has fallen ill with a strange condition. Lord Pang has sought medical treatment for many days without success. By chance, I passed by this place and have seen a similar case elsewhere. The root cause is that Lord Pang's son has encountered a malevolent spirit. A person with deep blessings is needed to dispel this evil spirit."

"Such a person with deep blessings is hard to find. I have searched for days without finding anyone. Today, I happened to meet your niece and have finally found such a person... That's why we have come to you, hoping that your niece can save Lord Pang's son."

Lord Pang began nodding vigorously again.

Yu Sanbao remained deeply troubled.

This person of great fortune must surely be referring to his Xingxing.

Yu Sanbao was naturally cautious and did not become elated because the Taoist recognized Xingxing as someone with great fortune. Instead, he asked warily, "… You say that you can drive away the evil for this person of great fortune. How exactly do you plan to do that?"

The man in the Taoist robe hesitated but then said, "… It is necessary to establish an intimate connection with her. Therefore, it would be best if they were to be betrothed."

Yu Sanbao flew into a rage, clenching his fists: "My Xingxing is only four years old! Betrothal?!"

Boss Pang quickly interjected, "Don't get angry, don't get angry. Just a formal engagement will do. As long as your niece is engaged to my son, she can move into our home. When they come of age, they can be married…"

Yu Sanbao sneered, his anger not subsiding in the slightest, and he cut Boss Pang off, "Bah! This is just making my Xingxing a child bride at your house! I tell you, forget about it! Get out, get out, get out, get out!"

"Fourth Brother! Let's drive them out!"

Yu Siyang had been listening from the side. Though he didn't fully understand what the other party meant, hearing his third brother say they wanted Xingxing to be a child bride infuriated him!

As soon as Yu Sanbao spoke, Yu Siyang immediately rushed forward.

Yu Sanbao also grabbed a broom, and the two of them started swinging wildly, driving the man in the Taoist robe, Boss Pang, and the servants holding the brocade boxes out the door.

Boss Pang was in a sorry state and became furious.

He was a prominent businessman in the county, respected by many, yet he had been driven out so disgracefully.

The man in the Taoist robe, however, remained calm: "Look at how the little girl is dressed. Although the material is ordinary, it is very well-made and delicate, indicating that her family treats her like a precious gem, their beloved treasure. It's understandable that they reacted strongly when we proposed the engagement so directly."

Boss Pang was pacing anxiously: "Taoist Master Huiyin, what should we do? My son You'er doesn't have much time left."

He even felt some resentment towards the family, thinking they were being too ungrateful.

His family, the Pang clan, is wealthy and influential, and You'er is his only son. This family appears to be of modest means; if they marry into his family, it would be like ascending to heaven in one step!

What's wrong with that?

If not for You'er's illness, this family wouldn't even have a chance to reach his doorstep!

What more could they want?

The man in the Daoist robe, known as Huiyin, pondered deeply and could only sigh, "There's no other way. We can only hope that sincerity can move even the hardest stone. It wouldn't be right to forcibly take the little girl into our home, after all."

Boss Pang's eyes flickered.

Huiyin had spent three days searching, almost examining the faces of everyone in the county, before he finally found someone with such profound blessings. He was determined not to give up.

If, in the end, this family still refuses, then they shouldn't blame him for using some special means!

As if seeing through Boss Pang's thoughts, Huiyin warned, "Those with profound blessings are protected by the will of heaven."

Boss Pang nodded in agreement, but inwardly, he was far from convinced.

So what if they are protected by the will of heaven?

You'er is his only son. For You'er, he doesn't care about any so-called will of heaven!
