"Immortal Master, are you leaving already? It's getting late, why don't you stay for the night?"
Seeing He Xiuyuan about to leave, Treasurer Jia quickly tried to persuade him to stay.
No matter what, he felt he should at least ask He Xiuyuan to stay for the night.
However, He Xiuyuan had no intention of staying there. He immediately waved his hand, "No need. I've already had my meal. I won't trouble Treasurer Jia any further."
He Xiuyuan looked at Treasurer Jia and smiled, "Perhaps next year, Treasurer Jia will be blessed with..."
He Xiuyuan paused slightly here. He hadn't calculated whether it would be a daughter or a Young Master.
Treasurer Jia's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Immortal Master, I wonder if my child will be a boy or a girl?"
"Your Madam does not yet have a fetus in her womb. It's not good to calculate such things haphazardly. Revealing the heavenly secret now might harm your future child."
He Xiuyuan shook his head, not intending to perform this divination for the other party.
Treasurer Jia's expression changed slightly, hearing He Xiuyuan speak so gravely. If such a matter could harm his future child, then he certainly wouldn't dare to ask for the calculation.
"Then, may I invite the Immortal Master to attend my child's full moon celebration when the time comes?"
Treasurer Jia no longer wanted to know whether it would be a boy or a girl. It didn't matter anyway; as long as they could have a child, if they wanted a boy later, they could always have more.
After so many years without a child, being able to have one was already a great blessing for him. As for other matters, they could be temporarily overlooked.
"If I have time then, I will come," He Xiuyuan replied after some thought. Perhaps there would be an opportunity later, and he would come for the full moon celebration.
If there was no opportunity, then so be it.
Having finished speaking, He Xiuyuan turned and departed.
Seeing this, Treasurer Jia could only follow quickly, escorting He Xiuyuan out the main gate.
Only after He Xiuyuan's figure disappeared into the darkness did Treasurer Jia reluctantly withdraw his gaze.
It was not easy to meet an Immortal, yet he had no chance to spend more time with him. It was truly a pity.
Treasurer Jia thought of this and turned to return to the Residence.
"Master, Madam requests your presence."
Just as Treasurer Jia was wondering how to tell his Madam about meeting the Immortal today, a maid hurried forward and bowed, speaking.
"Hmm, coincidentally, I also have something to tell Madam."
Treasurer Jia didn't overthink it. He immediately nodded and walked towards the inner courtyard.
A moment later, Treasurer Jia arrived in the inner courtyard and saw his Madam, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Master is back?"
Madam Jia, seeing her Master return, did not question him immediately. Instead, she waved her hand, signaling the servants to bring hangover tea.
After Treasurer Jia drank all the hangover tea, the hint of drunkenness in his eyes faded.
"I heard Master gave that person a ream of yuxintang paper?"
Madam Jia, seeing her Master's drunkenness subside, now raised her head and inquired.
Treasurer Jia didn't catch the meaning in his Madam's tone. Instead, he immediately stood up excitedly upon hearing her, then took his Madam's hand and said,
"Madam, I was just about to tell you about this! From now on, my Jia Residence will have an heir!"
"That He Immortal Master just now has completely resolved the Jia Residence's hidden ailment!"
Madam Jia was about to discuss this with her Master. So much yuxintang paper had been given away, and that was all money.
However, before she could speak, she heard her Master's words and suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Looking at the current situation, her Master had been thoroughly scammed.
"After that Jianghu Daoist finished performing his Spell, he told Master that the matter was resolved, took the ream of yuxintang paper, didn't even dare to stay overnight at the Jia Residence, and then quickly ran off?"
"Master, don't you think you've been tricked?"
The servants nearby had already withdrawn, so Madam Jia could now speak these words without worrying about contradicting her Master in front of others.
Treasurer Jia was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then looked at his Madam and burst out laughing.
"Madam thinks I've been tricked?"
Madam Jia looked at her Master's demeanor and said helplessly, "Master, you're like this, if not tricked, then what is it?"
This person came, ate and drank, then took a ream of yuxintang paper and left, not even daring to stay one night, just hurried away.
In such a situation, she really didn't know what other reason there could be besides him being a swindler.
Treasurer Jia laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Madam thinks I'm so easily deceived? I personally saw that Immortal Master perform a Spell and break the Yin Qi in the well, which is why I gave him the yuxintang paper."
Madam Jia, hearing this, shook her head helplessly. "Master, you're even using terms like 'Immortal Master.' If that person isn't a swindler, then what is he?"
"When has an Immortal ever appeared in this world?"
At this moment, she truly felt that her Master had been tricked, and completely fooled at that.
"It seems Madam doesn't believe what I've said."
Treasurer Jia thought for a moment, then spoke, "That Immortal Master truly has abilities. Besides me, Xiao Gui Zi was also present. I'll call Xiao Gui Zi over, and Madam will know the truth or falsehood by asking him."
Seeing that his Madam was unwilling to believe what he said, Treasurer Jia could only call Xiao Gui Zi.
However, Xiao Gui Zi could not enter the inner courtyard, so Treasurer Jia took his Madam out of the inner courtyard and met Xiao Gui Zi in a nearby study.
Xiao Gui Zi had also just returned from the restaurant at this moment.
"Master, Madam."
Xiao Gui Zi entered the study, saw the two waiting, and quickly greeted them.
"Xiao Gui Zi, tell Madam in detail what that Immortal did earlier."
Treasurer Jia waved his hand, signaling the other party to recount the previous events.
Xiao Gui Zi roughly guessed what had happened and immediately described the situation at the time vividly.
After he finished speaking, Madam Jia's brows were already furrowed.
"Are you saying that the Daoist wrote a glittering 'Suppress' character in his hand, and it fell into our well, and then wisps of black Qi emerged from the well?"
"Yes, this humble one and Master both saw it with our own eyes, absolutely no falsehood! And when Master knelt, the Daoist just raised his hand in the Void Realm, and Master stood up on his own."
Xiao Gui Zi said this, then subconsciously glanced at his Master.
Master's appearance at that time didn't look like he stood up on his own; rather, it looked as if he had been lifted by something.
Treasurer Jia, hearing this, quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, that also happened! The Immortal Master just slightly raised his hand, and my body involuntarily stood up. I felt this very clearly; there's no mistake!"
Treasurer Jia's expression was serious. Other things might be some kind of illusion, but this matter could absolutely not be an illusion!
