Upon hearing those words, Fat Boss's few remaining strands of hair stood on end, as if he were ready to flee to avoid disaster. "Master Yi, save me!" His voice trembled as he spoke.
Fat Boss had truly felt the weight of misfortune this year. Several orders had been snatched away from the company, and he was entangled in lawsuits. If this continued, his family's fortune would be wiped out! As for attracting calamity, wasn't that just a matter of time?
"Guan Shu Mu, did you invite that statue in your study yourself? How could it possibly be powered?" Shi Tian turned to Fat Boss with a slight smile, reminding him.
"Close your eyes for peace; open your eyes to slay the heavens!" The murderous aura emanating from Fat Boss was rather intense.
Whether it was intense or not was not Shi Tian's concern. However, when he had examined that statue in Fat Boss's study, he noticed something peculiar: one eye had been tampered with, revealing a tiny lens the size of a sesame seed. This was quite intriguing.
To maintain symmetry, both eyes had been altered. One was clearly a lens; the other must have been a microphone—was this hidden surveillance? But why not just install it directly on the ceiling for a broader view?
Such matters would go unnoticed without someone pointing them out. Shi Tian's reminder made cold sweat trickle down Fat Boss's back.
"I can help you solve this issue, but as for attracting good fortune, that's up to you. You should fill in that lake in your yard! Otherwise, you should at least make it a flowing water feature; only moving water can bring wealth!"
After saying this, Yi Laotou glanced at the writhing Crocodile Eels on the ground. What kind of decent person raises such creatures? Nevertheless, those two fish were quite impressive; unfortunately, he had come out too late—otherwise, he would have snatched one from Shi Tian's hands!
"Don't worry, Master Yi and Master Shi. I'll head to the temple and offer the most expensive incense!"
Shi Tian understood that helping with electrical repairs at home fell within his realm of comprehension. However, when Master Yi entered carrying a fishing rod and talked about catching fish in an artificial lake while claiming there was Great Evil within it, he indeed ended up catching one!
As for that lake—should they even discuss it? They should first find someone to drain the water! If the Great Evil wasn’t fully dealt with by Master Shi before the water was drained, he would have to personally confront it!
No wonder there hadn’t been any fish in the lake this year; whatever fish were thrown in simply vanished—it turned out these two creatures were causing trouble!
Upon hearing Fat Boss mention going to the temple to offer incense, Shi Tian's eyelid twitched. After all that effort, what did Buddhism have to do with this? It wasn't over yet! Were they really going to place all their hopes on Buddhism?
Burning paper at gravesites wasn’t an act of kindness; it was for remembrance! Offering incense and praying wasn’t an act of kindness either; it was about faith!
Muttering to himself, Shi Tian looked up at Fat Boss and said with drooping eyelids: "A righteous person cares for the lonely and the weak. Respecting the elderly and nurturing the young while suppressing evil and promoting good is essential. You should buy a copy of 'The Supreme Response' and read it; it records sixteen kinds of good deeds. Just doing one or two would be more effective than burning those few sticks of incense!"
A con artist must maintain their facade; Shi Tian felt that perhaps he could actually make a living off this con artist role!
Seeing Yi Laotou still fussing over those half-dead Crocodile Eels on the ground, Shi Tian lost interest in staying there any longer. He turned around to open the trunk and placed his lure rod inside. When he returned to the driver's seat, Yi Laotou had already taken his place in the passenger seat.
After leaving Fat Boss's place, they hurried back to Shisan Shixiong's hotel. It was already past three o'clock; they hadn't eaten lunch yet and were starving!
As they stopped at the entrance of Shisan Shixiong's hotel, Yi Laotou turned to look at Old Kong and said: "Xiao Tian, Old Kong and the others are missing your cooking skills. I also want to see if your skills have improved during this time."
Great! It wasn't easy coming all the way to Guangzhou; just as he finished his con artist act, Yi Laotou had arranged for him to become a chef!
Yi Laotou was indeed a dedicated master. Upon meeting, he immediately put them to the test, leaving him puzzled as to why so many senior brothers and sisters were fighting over him.
Shi Tian darted into the kitchen, and Yi Laotou turned to Shisan Shixiong, saying, "What are you doing standing there? This is the kitchen! Don’t underestimate Xiao Tian; despite his shortcomings, he’s got some serious cooking skills. You’ve been cooking for decades, yet your skills can’t even match a fortune teller’s. How embarrassing!"
After that remark, Shisan Shixiong hurried off to the kitchen with his tail between his legs. Life as Yi Laotou's disciple was tough; was everyone really this competitive?
Here was someone who ran a Fishing Tackle Shop and could tell fortunes, and now he could cook too. How were they supposed to survive?
Once Shisan Shixiong left, Yi Laotou quickly dragged a few old men into a private room. "So, what did you find? Did you uncover any Wo Liao?" he asked eagerly as soon as the door closed.
They had traveled thousands of miles from Xiangjiang to Guangzhou just to dig up Wo Liao. Old Wen and the others had come along to show Fat Boss some feng shui; it was all part of the plan. Now they were just waiting to see the results of their efforts!
They had found some things—besides Carp and Bai Tiao Wo Liao, there were also some sea fish—but nothing else significant! A few bags of Wo Liao were tossed onto the table, and Old Kong looked somewhat disappointed.
They hadn’t seen Black Bream Bait or Sea Bass Bait before, nor had Shi Tian sent them any. But what use were these? Were they supposed to go fishing for Black Sea Bream every day? That was no different from catching Bai Tiao in the river!
After going through a few bags of Wo Liao, they found some gains, but not much. It felt like a letdown for the few bucks spent on fuel costs; if they had known it would turn out like this, they might as well have stayed in Xiangjiang to fish for Carp!
