"What did you say? The master and that man are drinking and chatting, and the master is still respectful towards him?"
At this moment, a maid from the backyard came before the Madam and reported what was happening in the front yard.
She had been sent by the Madam to inquire whether the Jianghu sorcerer had been driven away.
But she hadn't expected that when she went to check, not only had the person not been driven away, but he was sitting down and drinking with the master.
Furthermore, the master appeared extremely respectful when facing him.
Jia Furen, who was listening, had a grim expression.
"What in the world is wrong with the master this time? How could he be so deluded by a Jianghu sorcerer? This Jianghu sorcerer is truly formidable!"
Jia Furen thought this, her eyes narrowing slightly, revealing a look of contemplation.
"Madam, what should we do now? If this continues, I'm afraid the master will be so deluded that he'll give all the family property to that man."
"I heard that Little Gui Zi also bought food and wine from other restaurants and is sending them to the Residence."
The maid was also a little flustered at this moment.
The master was the backbone of the Jia Residence. If he was truly deceived by the other party and lost everything, then the Jia Residence would be finished.
Jia Furen heard this, thought for a moment, and then said, "As a woman, it's not convenient for me to show my face right now. You go and keep an eye on the master. If it's just eating and drinking, then let him be."
"After the master has eaten and drunk his fill and returned, I will have a good talk with him."
Jia Furen sighed as she said this and sat down.
With outsiders present, it was indeed inconvenient for her, a woman, to step forward, not to mention that the master was the head of the family.
No matter what, it was not her time to intervene yet.
The maid acknowledged this and withdrew.
Jia Furen sighed again, only able to pray that the master would not be deceived.

"Immortal Master, you are traveling. How long do you plan to stay here?"
Treasurer Jia looked at He Xiuyuan, asking out of curiosity.
He had been in this place for so long and had never seen He Xiuyuan before, so he figured He Xiuyuan hadn't been here for long.
If that was the case, he wondered how long He Xiuyuan would stay here.
If possible, he naturally hoped He Xiuyuan could stay for a longer period.
He Xiuyuan took a sip from his wine cup, thought for a moment, and said, "I shouldn't stay for too long. I came here to tell fortunes, mainly to get some divination fees to buy some yuxintang paper."
He Xiuyuan explained casually, but Treasurer Jia was stunned, "Immortal Master wants that yuxintang paper?"
"What, your Residence has it?"
"Of course, we do. One of my Jia Residence's businesses is this yuxintang paper. If not for that, my Jia Residence wouldn't have accumulated so much wealth."
Treasurer Jia's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.
He was still wondering how much gold to offer as a reward for He Xiuyuan's help this time. Now, hearing the Immortal Master say this, he immediately realized how to repay him.
"Go, fetch the yuxintang paper!"
Treasurer Jia casually ordered a servant, who immediately moved to retrieve the paper.
He Xiuyuan felt relieved, thinking that this would save him the trouble of buying paper later.
However, this Treasurer Jia was truly wealthy, dealing in yuxintang paper. He Xiuyuan knew how expensive this yuxintang paper was.
"Immortal Master just said you wanted yuxintang paper. What do you plan to use it for?"
Treasurer Jia was full of curiosity at this moment.
He Xiuyuan's mood was excellent now that the yuxintang paper was about to be in his hands, so he briefly explained.
Treasurer Jia was startled after listening. From the Immortal Master's words, it seemed that once he obtained the yuxintang paper, he would leave and likely return to his Immortal Cave.
If that was the case, it was hard to say whether he would be able to see this Immortal Master again in the future.
Thinking of this, Treasurer Jia ate the food and wine in front of him somewhat distractedly.
However, the yuxintang paper could actually be used for casting spells, which broadened his horizons.
"The Yin Qi in your Residence has dissipated. You should be able to have a child after some time. In that case, I don't need to wait here until you have a child before I can leave, do I?"
He Xiuyuan, drinking his wine, suddenly remembered something and asked Treasurer Jia.
Treasurer Jia quickly waved his hand, "Of course not. There's no reason not to believe what the Immortal Master says."
He Xiuyuan smiled lightly and nodded, seeing Treasurer Jia's reaction.
"In that case, I'll be taking this yuxintang paper with me."
But hadn't the yuxintang paper arrived yet?
Treasurer Jia was about to say something when a servant walked in at that moment.
He was carrying a bundle wrapped in brocade.
"Master, the yuxintang paper has been brought. I took one stack."
Saying this, the servant untied the brocade, revealing the yuxintang paper inside.
"Hmm, go and get ten more stacks."
Treasurer Jia glanced at the yuxintang paper and then told the servant to get more.
The servant was stunned, then looked a bit hesitant, "But Master... the total stock in the Residence and the shop isn't that much..."
"Then bring all the rest."
Treasurer Jia immediately ordered.
This person in front of him just didn't know how to do things. If it were Little Gui Zi, he would definitely bring all the yuxintang paper.
The servant quickly acknowledged and was about to go fetch more paper.
He Xiuyuan, however, waved his hand, "No need. This one stack is enough."
Each sheet of yuxintang paper was incredibly expensive, and the stack the other party brought was already more than enough.
Treasurer Jia immediately stood up, "How can that be? For something the Immortal Master needs, the more the better."
He Xiuyuan looked at Treasurer Jia's behavior, a little exasperated, "Alright, this much is enough. This yuxintang paper is so expensive. If I really took all your yuxintang paper, I would owe you a favor."
Treasurer Jia smiled awkwardly, "Immortal Master, what are you saying? Although my Jia Residence has a lot of wealth, if there are no descendants, it will all benefit others a hundred years from now."
"Now that the Immortal Master has solved this problem for me, even if I gave half of the Jia Residence's property to the Immortal Master, it would be appropriate."
He Xiuyuan took his wine gourd, drank a mouthful of peach blossom wine, and said, "You can keep the money. I helped you solve your problem, and receiving a reward is enough."
After finishing that sip of wine, He Xiuyuan stood up, feeling that he had eaten and drunk enough. He didn't plan to continue staying at the Jia Residence.
"Alright, today's matters are concluded. It's time for me to take my leave."
With that, He Xiuyuan reached out, picked up the yuxintang paper beside him, and turned to leave.
