Pei Yan’s expression darkened. “Are you serious?!”

Unlike Mrs. Pei, Pei Yan believed in these things.

Whenever he started a construction project, he would always choose an auspicious date and time.

He would also invite someone to perform a blessing ceremony to ensure good fortune.

After all, with thousands of years of history in the Daxia Empire, who knew how many souls rested beneath the ground? It was necessary to pay respects.

“Of course, it’s true, Dad,” Pei Mengzhi was practically frantic. “Why else do you think I still don’t have a girlfriend?”

“You don’t have a girlfriend because you’re incompetent,” Pei Yan sneered. “And you dare to say that? I’m embarrassed for you.”

Pei Mengzhi: “…”

Was this his real father?

“Dad, I think Mom’s the one who’s cursed,” Pei Mengzhi took a deep breath. “Her temper has gotten so much worse. She doesn’t listen to me at all and even tore up my talisman.”

“She doesn’t even care about the company’s reputation anymore. She’s outright spreading false accusations, and now look—she’s about to receive a lawyer’s letter!”

“Your mother…” Pei Yan frowned. “I’ll return soon. Since we made a mistake, we need to apologize.”

“Of course, we need to apologize,” Pei Mengzhi sighed in relief, “but even apologizing is too late now. You’ve already offended her. Dad, you’d better pray for yourself; even throwing money at this won’t work.”

Hearing this, Pei Yan strongly disagreed. “You’ve never dealt with this kind of situation before. You don’t understand that the truly renowned masters in the field are the ones who are truly capable. There’s no need to pin your hopes on some young girl.”

“I’ll contact Master Miaoguang from Liushan Temple for you. You can head there this afternoon and explain everything to him. I’m busy here and will return to the country in three days.”

Before Pei Mengzhi could respond, Pei Yan ended the call.

Pei Mengzhi slammed the table in frustration.

Why wouldn’t anyone believe him?

After some thought, he called Mrs. Pei and started making things up: “Mom, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have trusted an outsider. Dad told me to go with you to Liushan Temple tomorrow.”

Madam Pei immediately agreed. “Alright, I’ll head home now, and we’ll leave right away.”

Finally, Pei Mengzhi managed to get out of the house.

He reached into his pocket and touched the talisman, exhaling deeply.

This was his first time visiting Liushan Temple.

The temple was large and located halfway up a mountain, with young monks sweeping at the entrance.

Pei Mengzhi felt a little uneasy.

Until someone called out to him.

“Brother Mengzhi, you’re here too?” Zuo Qingya greeted him cheerfully. “What a coincidence!”

“Coincidence my foot!” Pei Mengzhi snapped, losing his temper. “Stay away from me!”

“Brother Mengzhi, you used to say I was sweet and adorable,” Zuo Qingya pouted, “but now you’re being so mean to me.”

“I must have been blind back then.” Pei Mengzhi sneered, “Get lost. If I see you again, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Zuo Qingya stomped her foot, shrieking, “Brother Mengzhi, you must have been cursed by Si Fuqing! Just look at how—”

“Silence in this sacred place,” the sweeping monk said coldly.

Zuo Qingya immediately shut her mouth.

Since they had made an appointment, Pei Mengzhi and Mrs. Pei were allowed inside first.

Master Miaoguang, already over eighty years old, looked spirited with a youthful demeanor and white hair—not something that could be achieved through mere maintenance.

“Master Miaoguang,” Madam Pei greeted respectfully, “we’re here seeking your wisdom. Just a few days ago, we encountered a young girl spouting complete nonsense.”

Master Miaoguang listened quietly.

It wasn’t until Madam Pei mentioned the talisman that he finally reacted.

“What talisman?” Master Miaoguang suddenly opened his eyes. “May I see it?”

Pei Mengzhi gripped the talisman tightly. “I’ll hold onto it while you take a look.”

He couldn’t bear to part with his life-saving charm, even for a moment.

“That talisman is useless! Why did you get another one?” Madam Pei scolded, frustrated. “It’s just a scrap of paper! Do you seriously think that young girl is some kind of master? And now, in front of Master Miaoguang, you’re showing off? This is just ridiculous…”

“Rip it up later. Just looking at it is annoying.”

Master Miaoguang stepped forward and glanced at the talisman, his expression turning solemn.

He pressed his palms together in a respectful gesture. “May I ask, sir, which esteemed senior master created this talisman?”
