I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 591 - 431: Unscientific

But upon hearing their conversation, Xia Liang simply smiled. His gaze swept over the two of them before he spoke.

"Unfortunately, I’ve developed a preference for lighter fare recently, so I’ll have to decline your kind offer."

With a brief fist and palm salute, Xia Liang walked straight toward the door, looking as if he were about to leave.

This left He Youling and his son stunned. They had assumed that since he accepted the bracelet, Xia Liang wouldn’t refuse their request. They never expected that after taking it, he would simply walk out.

Seeing this, Wu Tong hurriedly moved to Xia Liang’s side.

He Xiaojun grew anxious and called out from behind him, "Master Xia, you’re my lifesaver, after all. A single bracelet can’t possibly express our gratitude. Please, don’t refuse us."

After all that, they hadn’t even managed to get Xia Liang’s contact information. The bracelet was a trivial matter; if Xia Liang left now, finding him again would be difficult. That was why He Xiaojun was so worried.

Hearing this, Xia Liang stopped and clicked his tongue.

"I don’t like beating around the bush. If you two truly just want to invite me to a meal, then forget it. If there’s something else, you might as well say it plainly."

Hearing Xia Liang’s words, He Youling and his son exchanged a look. He Xiaojun then stepped forward and said to Xia Liang, "Indeed, we would like to invite Grand Master Xia to our home for some guidance. The house has been rather unsettled lately. It seems... like there’s some kind of unclean thing."

"Unclean thing?"

Now it was Xia Liang’s turn to be stunned. The ’unclean thing’ He Xiaojun mentioned couldn’t be what he was thinking, could it? He had encountered something like it before.

He glanced at He Youling and his son, and they both nodded at him solemnly.

He Youling stepped closer to explain further. "It started about last week. I began seeing shadows in the corners of the rooms. Sometimes I hear crying, but I can never find where it’s coming from. It’s quite unsettling. I haven’t slept well at all these past few days, which is why I wanted to ask for your help, Master Xia."

After speaking, He Youling opened his mouth as if to say more, but ultimately decided against it. Hearing all this, Xia Liang found his interest piqued.

He had always wondered if other extraordinary things existed in the world—if there were truly top-tier Diviners with the immense power to defy fate. However, Xia Liang had never met one. Even the so-called Daoist Association in Jingdu was just a bunch of swindlers. He suspected such people did exist but were likely indifferent to fame and fortune, content to remain hidden from the world. He also wondered about demons and whether they truly existed. Now that his own abilities had almost reached the level of an Earthly Immortal, Xia Liang found himself growing excited and curious about such unscientific phenomena.

He immediately began to divine He Youling’s fate to view his destiny’s trajectory.

「Soon.」

Xia Liang found something in He Youling’s path of destiny.

"Evening of June 14th, 8:00 PM. He Youling puts down the Haojiang Daily on the sofa, intending to use the restroom, but he spots a pitch-black figure in the corner of the room..."

"June 15th. He Youling is awakened by unsettling cries but can never find their source..."

After checking the information further, Xia Liang confirmed that He Youling wasn’t lying. He had indeed encountered things that couldn’t be explained by science. However, because He Youling was quite old, he wasn’t overly afraid. On the other hand, several of the butlers and housekeepers had already taken leave. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

A rare look of excitement appeared in Xia Liang’s eyes. He wasn’t afraid of these things, having dealt with them before, so he was even less concerned now. He was quite curious to find out what exactly He Youling had been encountering.

As Xia Liang stared at him, He Youling felt goosebumps prickle his skin.

Having lived for over ninety years, he always trusted his intuition. And just now, his intuition told him that in that single instant, Xia Liang had somehow seen all of his secrets.

At his side, He Xiaojun continued his explanation. "My father has been troubled by this for many days. We’ve moved between several villas, but the same thing happens in each one. We’ve hired some Taoist priests, but they were all charlatans. To be honest, some of them were even more scared than we were."

"Interesting," Xia Liang murmured, then added with a smile, "Then why don’t you think that I might be a charlatan, too?"

"Never, never," He Xiaojun said, shaking his head hastily. "If it weren’t for you, Master Xia, I would already be dead. Others might be charlatans, but you, Master Xia, are a true master."

He Xiaojun wore a look of absolute conviction. Xia Liang clicked his tongue again, then strode excitedly toward the door. Behind him, He Youling and his son were still processing, unsure of his intentions, when his voice called out from the doorway.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Lead the way!"

"Right away!" He Xiaojun responded eagerly.

Having heard everything, Wu Tong was at a loss. She had always been terrified of such things, so she was hesitant to go. Besides, she wasn’t sure what Xia Liang would want her to do and worried he might get angry if she followed.
