Chapter 184 Amulet

On the third day of Shi Xia's recovery, Mark arrived with a car full of gold and bodyguards.

If he hadn't given prior notice, Joss would have mistaken the other party for someone who had come to cause trouble.

Regardless, Mark was a prominent figure, and Joss showed him great respect by personally coming out to greet him.

"Mark, welcome, welcome."

"Joss, where is that master?"

Joss hadn't expected Mark to be in such a hurry, but seeing the dark circles under Mark's eyes and his extremely thin body, he had some guesses.

Mark inquired about Master Xia's situation at his nickel mine, and he inquired about Mark's recent situation in return.

I heard that Mark has angered a vengeful female ghost, the one who drowned in the river.

Neither of them knew that during the days when Wen Cheng'an was serving Master Xia every day, he spent several nights alone, just to cover for Shi Xia.

Shi Xia went out to find Mark.

The big spenders can't be let off the hook.

"Mark, don't worry. Master Xia is resting. You know that great people have their own temperaments. Sometimes being too anxious can backfire."

"Yes, yes, you're right. I'll get ready and wait for Master Xia to see me."

Because Mark knew what had happened at Joss's place, he saw the mythical Master Xia as his lifeline.

The two invited each other into the living room, where Mark was so restless that he didn't dare to drink a drop of water.

I'm afraid a little dancing person might pop out from inside. This isn't a side effect of eating mushrooms; it actually happened.

Mark asked several times, and Joss called in Kim Kai-wen.

Master Xia became famous overnight, and Jin Kaiwen's status rose significantly as a result.

"Jin Kaiwen, you must put in a good word for me. I brought a truckload of gold with me!"

“Mr. Mark, Master Xia is currently meditating and practicing. He will finish his dinner at six o’clock. I will inform him in advance. Whether I can see him or not is not up to me.”

"Okay, okay, you have to help!"

A heavy gold bar landed in Jin Kaiwen's hand. Jin Kaiwen accepted it with a smile, because the other party would be even more flustered if he didn't accept it.

At six o'clock in the evening, Jin Kaiwen appeared outside Master Xia's door on time with dinner in hand.

"come in."

"Yes."

Jin Kaiwen pushed open the door, put down his dinner, and then took out the gold bars that Mark had given him.

He's a god, isn't he just asking for death by hiding?

“Mark gave it to me; he requested an audience with you.”

Shi Xia didn't even look at it and said, "Just accept it. From now on, you can accept anything they give you yourself, just remember to be smart and know your limits."

Jin Kaiwen understood Shi Xia's advice: he shouldn't be too greedy.

“I will keep it in mind.”

"Well, as for Mark, see you tomorrow."

Jin Kaiwen received confirmation and went out to inform them.

After receiving accurate information, Mark felt uneasy but at least had hope.

That night, Mark was too scared to sleep and counted the stars until dawn, but the female ghost didn't come.

"Could it be that the female ghost is too afraid to come near Master Xia?"

Mark felt he had found the true meaning and became even more eager to meet Master Xia.

Early in the morning, after Master Xia finished his meditation, he finally met Mark.

She sat quietly on the futon, her face covered by a white mask and her body draped in a long robe. To anyone, she looked like a venerable master.

But this master had a particular fondness for gold and...

“Master, I have brought a cartload of gold and a number of fine servants. They will have the honor of serving you if you have any favorites.”

Shi Xia's lips twitched slightly.

She even cultivated a reputation for extravagance and debauchery. "No need, I need to rest and recuperate recently."

Shi Xia casually made up a reason for needing a rest, which made Qiao Si even more emotional.

Although this Master Xia is expensive, he has real skills and he really uses them, even getting himself injured in the process.

“Mark, I already know about your situation. Here is a list. Prepare the items on it, and I will make you a talisman so that you will be immune to evil spirits from now on.”

Mark's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he took the paper with both hands.

"Master, can't that female ghost be destroyed?"

Shi Xia, behind the mask, curled her lip in disgust. Not only did she kill that little girl, but she really wanted to nip it in the bud.

"Once you've collected all the items listed above, I'll take action."

After Shi Xia finished speaking, she waved her hand, making a gesture as if to see the guest off.

Jin Kaiwen immediately and respectfully saw Mark and the thoughtful Joss off.

Outside the door, Mark hurriedly went to prepare the materials, while Joss waited for a while before calling out to Jin Kaiwen.

"Jin Kaiwen, regarding the amulet Master Xia mentioned, I wonder if I could make one? I will certainly prepare the materials and will definitely not let the master work for nothing. Could you please ask him for me?"

"Okay, I can only ask."

"Thanks, brother."

Joss patted Jin Kaiwen on the shoulder and left.

Inside, Jin Kaiwen relayed Qiao Si's request. Shi Xia smiled, a knowing look on her face beneath her mask.

Shi Xia pondered for a moment.

“I will make three amulets, one for Joss and one for Mark, and I will have Joss auction off the last one.”

"As for you, I will make a special amulet for you."

Jin Kaiwen was flattered and knelt down to express his gratitude.

Shi Xia waved her hand, and Jin Kaiwen went downstairs.

Soon, Joss learned what Shi Xia had said, and he was very happy.

Master Xia allowed him to participate in the auction, which shows his trust in him.

Joss immediately prepared to hold an auction banquet, and also to help promote Master Xia.

Such a great master should not be enjoyed by him alone.

Since the master mentioned auctions, he must want to gain fame.

Having grasped Master Xia's unspoken meaning, Joss got busy.

When Jin Kaiwen returned to report, Shi Xia didn't say a word.

Three days later, Mark returned with all the materials. Shi Xia made a talisman in front of him, and all the materials disappeared in the water.

Because it's a water ghost, it can be removed in water, a perfect closed loop, without any flaws, Mark is completely convinced.

That night, Mark slept soundly. When he woke up the next day, he was overjoyed and cried tears of joy. He immediately went to express his gratitude to Master Xia.

Another day passed, and the dinner that Joss had prepared for Master Xia began.

Those who came had all heard of this recently popular Master Xia and wanted to find out more about him.

Because of Mark's peaceful night's sleep, he transformed into Master Xia's most devout follower and began speaking up for Master Xia.

Master Xia's reputation has already been solidified even before he has made a public appearance.

Shi Xia was the last one to come out, which speaks volumes about her status.

She didn't look at anyone, ignored everyone, finished eating and left, very carefree.

Joss, as the organizer, went on stage and once again spoke on behalf of Master Xia, and finally the auction was held.

At the same time, Wen Chengan also returned to the army, but the credit that belonged to them was stolen by others.

That's not even the worst part; not only was their credit stolen, but they were also detained for investigation.

The reason given was that Wen Chengan was a traitor and a collaborator with the enemy!
