At that moment, Liu Zhendong's expression grew worried. "Master Xia Tian's abilities are immense, but Old Qian's wife..."

Upon hearing this, Gao Hesheng's brow furrowed as well. They had both heard the scandalous rumors about Qian Donglai's wife, Liu Xueqin. It seemed Qian Donglai was the only one still in the dark.

After a moment, Gao Hesheng shook his head. "I don't know what the Heavenly Master meant either. Let's ask him in a bit."

Liu Zhendong also sighed. "Sigh... We really need to figure out a good solution for Old Qian's problem."

Gao Hesheng chuckled. "Forget about Old Qian for now. You should be thinking about yourself!"

Liu Zhendong laughed and waved his hand dismissively. "You both said it yourselves. Master Xia Tian knows everything under the sun. A minor issue like this is surely no problem for him!"

Gao Hesheng nodded with a smile. In his eyes, Xia Liang had already become a living immortal!

As for Liu Zhendong, after hearing how Xia Liang had told their fortunes, he was already completely convinced of his abilities!

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose among the people in line.

"Look, isn't that Master Xia Tian?"

"Master Xia Tian is finally here!"

Xia Liang walked into the shop, yawning. Seeing the long line snaking from his stall, he chuckled. "Everyone, you're here so early?"

The crowd laughed in response.

"Yeah, we're not even this motivated for a free meal!"

"Master Xia Tian, please get started! I'm dying of anticipation!"

Xia Liang waved his hand with a smile. "Now, now, don't be so anxious."

He sat down, chuckling as he watched a man approach. "Liu Zhendong, you came after all!"

"So this is Master Xia Tian? Truly as impressive and distinguished as they say!" Liu Zhendong had long heard that Xia Liang, despite his youth, possessed extraordinary abilities, so he didn't dare show the slightest disrespect.

Xia Liang gave a light chuckle. "You two, please."

As he spoke, he sat down at his stall, and the waiting tourists immediately made way for them. Even though Gao Hesheng was cutting the line, it was with Xia Liang's permission, so no one dared to utter a word of complaint.

Gao Hesheng spoke up. "Master Xia Tian, Old Qian went to the hospital. He asked me to let you know."

Xia Liang nodded.

Gao Hesheng then looked troubled. "Master Xia Tian, with your immense powers, about Old Qian's wife..."

"Don't bring this up again," Xia Liang interrupted. "At most, this ill-fated connection will resolve itself within a week."

Seeing that Xia Liang didn't wish to say more, Gao Hesheng didn't dare ask again.

Next, Gao Hesheng took a contract from his pocket and presented it to Xia Liang. "Master Xia Tian, this is a detached villa in the Jingcheng District. Please accept it."

His words caused an uproar in the crowd.

"A villa in Jingcheng District? What a grand gesture!"

"Even the cheapest townhouses there cost over ten million Yuan, let alone a detached villa!"

"Giving away such a huge villa, just like that?"

"What's so strange about it? Our Master Xia Tian has real skills, after all!"

"Exactly! Would anyone give that to an ordinary person?"

The tourists in line chattered amongst themselves, their voices filled with respect for Xia Liang.

"Old Gao, you've already paid me. I can't accept this," Xia Liang said, frowning at the contract.

"Master Xia Tian, I insist you take it." Gao Hesheng stood up, his gaze intense. "Master Xia Tian, what is more precious than family? You helped me find my hometown, which is the same as saving my father's life. I implore you, please accept this expression of my gratitude!"

Seeing that Xia Liang was about to refuse again, Gao Hesheng bowed deeply. "Master Xia Tian, please sign it. Only then will my heart be at ease."

Liu Zhendong, who was standing to the side, also chimed in. "Master Xia Tian, you should just sign it. With Old Gao's stubbornness, his conscience truly won't be clear if you refuse."

"This... alright." Xia Liang nodded helplessly. "Then I'll reluctantly sign."

Only after seeing Xia Liang sign did Gao Hesheng straighten up, a smile spreading across his face. Just then, Xia Liang scolded him playfully, "Old Gao, don't think I don't know about your little ulterior motives."

As he spoke, Xia Liang's eyes sparkled, as if he could see right through people. "You think I don't know your place is nearby? That way, if you have any problems in the future, it'll be convenient to find me, right?"

A smile played on Xia Liang's lips.

"Uh... Master Xia Tian, you figured it out, huh!" Gao Hesheng scratched his head, slightly embarrassed. His main intention was to thank Xia Liang, but he admitted to himself that this thought had also crossed his mind. Gao Hesheng was a grateful man, and he would never forget Xia Liang's great kindness for the rest of his life.

Seeing a grown man like Gao Hesheng look so flustered, Xia Liang waved his hand with a laugh. "Alright, I'm not blaming you. However, I already own too many properties. It's highly unlikely I'll ever live in it."

Hearing this, Gao Hesheng shook his head, indicating that it was fine even if the villa just sat empty. At the same time, he breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

Seeing that Gao Hesheng's matter was settled for the time being, Liu Zhendong spoke up respectfully, "Master Xia, about my situation..."

The words had barely left his mouth when the System's notification chimed. Another task.

"Your problem is rather tricky. I'll have to visit the site in person to take a look."

Xia Liang's words startled the waiting tourists.

"What could be so important that Great Master Xia Liang has to handle it personally?"

"Does that mean... we've waited for nothing?"

Although they kept murmuring among themselves, not one of them dared to question Xia Liang. They just perked up their ears, curious to find out what was going on.

Only then did Xia Liang begin to speak in a calm, unhurried voice. "Your newly built Lingyun Mall has most of its shops leased out, but very few customers actually shop there. If this vicious cycle continues, the entire mall will become an empty shell. You suspect there's a problem with the Feng Shui, but none of the masters you consulted could figure it out. It wasn't until you heard about me from Old Gao and Old Qian that you decided to seek me out to see if I could solve the problem. Am I correct?"

Xia Liang looked at Liu Zhendong and gave him a mysterious smile.

"Yes, Master Xia Tian," Liu Zhendong nodded emphatically. "So, I was hoping you could help me see what exactly went wrong."

"Don't worry," Xia Liang said, waving his hand languidly. "My motto has always been 'take payment to resolve calamities'."

"However, Feng Shui is a profoundly mysterious thing. I'll have to take a look at the site before I can make any definitive judgment."

Liu Zhendong replied earnestly, "You can rest assured, Master Xia Tian. When I, Old Liu, do something, I won't disappoint you."

Xia Liang nodded. "That, I can believe."

Liu Zhendong was overjoyed. "Master Xia Tian, shall we leave right now?"

Xia Liang shook his head. Even though he had accepted the task, he couldn't just leave. "Let's wait. At the very least, I need to take care of these customers first."

"You're right," Liu Zhendong said. "We'll wait for Master Xia Tian to finish his work, then we can leave."

The two of them immediately stepped to the side to wait patiently.

It wasn't until almost noon that the last of the satisfied visitors left. In that short time, Xia Liang had triggered several tasks, earning 180 Work Points. As for assets, Xia Liang was completely indifferent to them.

"Let's go."

Xia Liang stood up and tidied his stall. Understanding his cue, Gao Hesheng and Liu Zhendong quickly invited him into their RV.

Xia Liang smiled. "Liu Zhendong, you really know how to live, driving around in an RV all day."

Liu Zhendong laughed in response. "I'm just a lonely old bachelor. Sometimes, when I get tired, I just sleep right here in the RV."

He then patted his chest. "If you like it, Master, I can get one for you by tomorrow. I happen to have a friend who runs a car dealership."

"No, thank you," Xia Liang said, shaking his head. Liu Zhendong had divorced his wife years ago, and with both children living with her, he was left on his own, living a very carefree life.

The driver saw the three men approach and respectfully opened the RV door for them. The interior of the RV was partitioned, so the driver in the front had no idea what the three of them were discussing in the back.
