"They're all impressive figures, huh!"

However, under everyone's watchful eyes, Xia Liang pushed the car keys back.

"I can't accept this," Xia Liang said, waving his hand. "I can only temporarily suppress Xiao Yun's condition. A complete cure requires some items that are hard to find right now."

In fact, those items could be purchased in the System Store, but Xia Liang was reluctant to spend his Work Points.

Su Bancheng quickly said, "It's alright. I've been waiting for 20 years, so I'm not in a rush."

Over the years, for his daughter's sake, he had visited temples everywhere to offer incense and pray. The consecrated Buddha statues and various protective amulets he had collected could fill an entire car. But Su Qianyun had shown no signs of improvement until last night when she told him about Xia Liang, which rekindled his hope.

Left with no other choice, Xia Liang took out ten peace charms. "Let's just say these peace charms are a trade for your car. I'll hold onto them for you for now. When the peace charm on Xiao Yun's neck wears off, you can come to me for a new one."

Xia Liang didn't like taking advantage of people. Besides, it wasn't like he was short on opportunities to do so.

Seeing the resolve on Xia Liang's face, Su Bancheng could only compromise and nod in agreement.

"Dad, why are you here?"

Just then, Su Qianyun's gentle voice drifted over. The two girls, dressed in casual clothes, had arrived at Xia Liang's Store.

Xu Wanying huffed coyly. "So you, Xia Liang, moved and didn't tell us, making us go to the old commercial street."

It seemed the two girls didn't know why Su Bancheng was there. Hearing them, his heart skipped a beat.

"Niece, don't be disrespectful to the Heavenly Master!"

"It's fine," Xia Liang said with a wave of his hand and a smile.

After all, the girls were still young. Being around this group of middle-aged men made him feel like he was getting old himself. Still, bantering with Xu Wanying from time to time was pretty nice.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot to say," Xu Wanying chirped, hopping over to Xia Liang's side and patting his shoulder. "We should call you Boss Xia now!

"Boss Xia, are you hiring? How about two pretty young ladies with sweet voices? Consider it! We're fun, talkative, and super approachable! We can help you greet customers, you know!" she said, winking at Xia Liang.

Upon hearing this, Xia Liang immediately felt a headache coming on. "Let's not. I'll consider it a blessing if you just don't cause me any trouble."

Su Qianyun was manageable, at least. But Xu Wanying? That restless little sprite would probably tear his shop down in a few days. And her constant hopping around didn't exactly fit the image of a Fortune Telling shop.

In that instant, however, Xia Liang had a sudden realization. Wait a minute... I don't exactly fit the image of a Fortune Teller either!

"Aww, come on, Boss Xia, just agree to it!" Xu Wanying cooed, shaking Xia Liang's arm.

Watching this, a hint of envy flashed in Su Qianyun's eyes. How she wished she could be as bold as Xu Wanying. But her personality wasn't suited for it; she wasn't the type to actively fight for what she wanted.

Then, Su Qianyun also spoke up softly. "Master Xia Tian, my sister and I just want to thank you. We don't even need a salary..."

"Not even a salary?" Xia Liang raised an eyebrow. "You're not harboring some ulterior motives against this Heavenly Master, are you? Out with it! Are you two lusting after my body?"

Xia Liang scrutinized them, a playful smirk in his eyes.

Hearing such a blunt question, Su Qianyun immediately blushed crimson. Even the usually forward Xu Wanying stiffened for a moment, then let out a soft "Tch!"

The onlookers stared, their eyes wide with disbelief.

"Master Xia Tian has a side like this? What an eye-opener!"

"Are you kidding? Can't you see Master Xia Tian is teaching us how to pick up girls?"

"Quick, write this down! I'll use it the next time I'm trying to woo a girl."

"He's right! Master Xia Tian must be using this as a chance to teach his loyal followers the art of seduction."

"Look, both of those beauties are blushing! This cheesy pickup line definitely works!"

"Noted, noted..."

As the customers' chatter naturally reached his ears, Xia Liang shook his head and laughed to himself. This bunch has some wild imaginations!

At that moment, Su Qianyun spoke up. "Brother Xia Liang, we're both bored and have nowhere to go. Please let us stay here. We can help greet customers or do other small chores." Her beautiful eyes, full of hope, were fixed on Xia Liang.

Su Bancheng also chimed in. "Master Xia Tian, please let them help. These two girls have been pampered since they were children. Gaining some real-world experience would be good for them."

With Xu Wanying pleading relentlessly, Xia Liang had no choice but to agree.

Xu Wanying immediately chirped with joy. "Then we'll report for duty this afternoon!"

Afterward, she signaled to Su Qianyun. "Come on, let's go for a stroll first."

Before Su Qianyun could even speak, Xu Wanying was already dragging her away.

Xia Liang shook his head with a smile, then returned to his work.

Naturally, anyone who could afford a Fortune Telling session with Xia Liang wasn't short on cash. After their readings, these clients went on a shopping spree throughout the mall, leaving contentedly with shopping bags of all sizes. The surrounding shopkeepers couldn't stop grinning. What everyone said yesterday was absolutely right! Wherever Master Xia Tian set up shop was an exceptional feng shui hot spot!

"Master Xia Tian, I'll be leaving then," Su Bancheng said as he stood up. "If Xiao Yun and Xiao Ying cause any trouble, feel free to discipline them as you see fit."

Xia Liang nodded.

The two young women didn't return to Xia Liang's Store until nearly noon, looking quite satisfied with themselves.

But when he saw them, he had to ask, "Why are you two dressed like that? Are you cosplaying?"

Xia Liang buried his face in his hand, a wry smile on his lips. At that moment, the sight of the two was almost too painful to look at.

He chuckled despite himself. "What's with this getup? It's... unique, I'll give you that."

The two women had already changed out of their casual clothes, which were now tucked into storage bags. They were now wearing Taoist Robes with peachwood swords strapped to their backs, perfectly decked out as female Taoist priests.

"How do we look? Does it fit the shop's vibe?" Xu Wanying asked, doing a little twirl.

"Fits, my ass!" Xia Liang scoffed with a laugh. "Go on, get changed back into your regular clothes."

"But the owner of the costume shop said this outfit was perfect..." Xu Wanying mumbled, still looking puzzled. "What could be wrong with it?"

"That's right. The owner was smiling so happily when we left," Su Qianyun added, equally confused.

The truth was, the costume shop owner was thinking something entirely different. I finally sold those two outfits that have been sitting in storage for ages! Master Xia Tian's arrival really is a blessing for my feng shui!

The costume shop was on the third floor, so the owner had no idea the two women were connected to Xia Liang. If he had, he wouldn't have dared to sell them those clothes, not even for a hundred times the courage.

Xia Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Go change. We're a legitimate Fortune Telling business, not some Taoist Temple up on a mountain!"

Xu Wanying let out a long "Oh..." and reluctantly dragged Su Qianyun toward the restroom.

Xia Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief when the two emerged in normal clothes. Just then, it was the next customer's turn, a man with a sorrowful expression.

The customer began to speak, pulling out a crumpled wad of cash. "Heavenly Master, save me, I..."

Before he could finish, Xia Liang waved a hand to interrupt him.

"Your name is Zhang Xiaohui. Your wife is having an affair with an executive at her company. You lost your temper and hit her, and now that executive has threatened to have you killed. You want to ask me how to get out of this mess. Am I right?"

The distraught customer nodded furiously, like a chicken pecking at grain, and pushed the cash forward. "Heavenly Master, you have to save me. This is all the money I managed to save up in secret. My wife controls all our finances."

The customers in line behind him shook their heads in pity. The poor guy really had it rough. Sometimes, when a man lacks a backbone and is completely henpecked, it only encourages his wife to become even more unreasonable.
