The wedding was livestreamed by the sister, revealing his identity as a Taoist priest.
Chapter 244 Celestial Master Drawing Talismans, Tycoons Competing
Chen Shidu stared at the screen of his old cell phone.
The above is a message that Chen Xiaoyu just sent.
"Brother, today's scene was terrifying. When will you be done?"
After reading the message, he placed his phone face down on the low table.
He frowned.
The exposure of his identity as a Taoist priest has indeed caused him a lot of trouble.
These wealthy and powerful families all rushed over as soon as they smelled the aroma.
Jiangcheng must be in complete chaos right now.
Chen Shidu stood up and walked to the desk next to him.
He spread out several sheets of yellow paper, ground the ink, and picked up his brush.
The nib of the pen, dipped in vermilion, glides across the yellow paper.
Without any fancy movements, more than a dozen peace charms were made in one go.
The moment the rune was completed, a faint golden light flashed across the paper.
Outside the door, Master Xuanmo happened to be passing by.
"Hold on!"
Chen Shidu called out to him.
Master Xuanmo stopped in his tracks.
Chen Shidu folded up the dozen or so yellow talismans he had just drawn and handed them over.
"Let's go to Jiangcheng."
"I will personally deliver these amulets to the Shen family."
Master Xuanmo paused for a moment, looking at the yellow talisman in his hand.
"Master, just give me a peace charm?"
Chen Shidu spoke calmly, offering no further explanation.
"When prominent families come to visit, the Shen family must reciprocate with gifts."
"We must not be impolite."
Master Xuanmo was filled with doubt.
This is a peace talisman drawn by the Celestial Master himself; it would be fought over by Taoist sects.
Giving it to those ordinary people would be a terrible waste.
He dared not ask any more questions and carefully tucked the talisman into his bosom.
He accepted the order and left, heading down the mountain that very night.
Jiangcheng Peninsula Hotel, Top Floor Banquet Hall.
The lights were dazzling, and the aroma of Romanée-Conti filled the air.
It was as noisy as a vegetable market.
Lei Zhen slammed a thick document on the table, his voice booming.
"Miss Shen, these are my shares in three shipyards!"
"From now on, if any of the Shen family's ships break down, feel free to repair them; I'll even cover the cost of building new ones!"
He patted his chest, as if afraid others wouldn't hear him.
He Yunting pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and slowly took out a bunch of keys.
"Mr. Lei, that's too vulgar. Does the Shen family need your few dilapidated boats?"
"Miss Shen, this is the key to the top-floor duplex in Tomson Riviera, Shanghai."
"Everything is furnished inside; feel free to stay wherever you like when you travel."
Ye Canghai, not to be outdone, was playing with a jade walnut in his hand.
"Mr. He, you think you can just get rid of me with a house? Does your house even have a sea view?"
"Miss Shen, the Ye family owns a piece of land in Hainan and plans to build a resort there."
"The name has been chosen, it's called Nianqingwan. When would you be free to cut the ribbon?"
The head of the Zheng family panicked and stood up abruptly.
"Miss Shen, the Zheng family owns two private islands in the East China Sea."
"The villa and yacht, along with everything else, will be transferred to your name!"
"Going out to sea for a breath of fresh air is much better than all that concrete and steel!"
The gifts were increasingly extravagant, and everyone was trying to outdo each other, afraid of being outdone.
Shen Nianqing smiled, holding her wine glass, her smile perfectly composed.
"You are too kind, elders. The Shen family is unworthy of such hospitality."
She raised her glass and took a small sip.
Shen Xingzhou listened from the side, swallowing hard.
He felt like the richest young master in Jiangcheng was now like a beggar.
Gu Xingluo sat next to him, her eyes wide like saucers.
"Shen Xingzhou, pinch me."
Am I dreaming?
Shen Xingzhou rolled his eyes and ignored her.
His mind is now filled with shipyards and private islands.
"Only children make choices; I want them all."
He muttered to himself.
On the sofa in the corner, Zhou Ce and the five garrison commanders sat in a row.
There was a bottle of top-quality red wine in front of them, but the group drank it down like it was water.
Meng Chongshan touched the scar on his face and rolled his eyes.
"These nouveau riche are damn rich."
"They gave away a whole apartment in Tomson Riviera without even blinking an eye."
"I've been a garrison commander for half my life, and I'm still paying off my mortgage."
Wu Yang sneered from inside his cloak.
"What do you know? That's called investing."
"By currying favor with the Celestial Master, if the family encounters any evil spirits in the future, the Celestial Master can save their lives with just a wave of his hand."
"What a great deal!"
He Lanyue touched his bald head and sighed.
"We in Tian Shu are truly poor. How can we compete with them?"
"How about we paint our old SUVs gold and send them over?"
Zhou Ce glared at him.
"Shut up and eat your food."
"We represent the government, why are you giving us a gold-painted SUV?"
"I'll grant the Shen family the highest level of security exemption later; they're much better off than these pieces of junk."
Shen Cang leaned on his cane and slowly took a sip of wine.
"Old Zhou is right, these people are so poor that all they have left is money."
"We're sitting here to support the Shen family."
"Let them know that the Shen family not only has a Celestial Master, but also a Celestial Pivot."
"If anyone dares to touch a hair on the Shen family's head, I'll tear down their ancestral graves."
Chen Xiaoyu sat at another table, her phone mounted on a stabilizer.
The comments section went crazy; the screen was completely covered by gift effects.
[My God! A penthouse duplex in Tomson Riviera! How much would that cost?!]
[Lei Zhen gifted a shipyard? That's more like gifting a money-printing machine!]
The Ye family practically gifted me a resort! Poverty has limited my imagination!
My sister-in-law is so calm; I would have fainted by now.
These big shots usually act all high and mighty on TV, but now they're acting like salespeople.
Lin Keke leaned closer, her eyes widening as she stared at the carnival display filling the screen.
"Xiaoyu, the gifts we received tonight alone could buy us an apartment in Jiangcheng."
Chen Xiaoyu swallowed.
"I suddenly feel that my brother is not good enough for my sister-in-law."
"Look at your sister-in-law's aura, she has these big shots completely under her thumb."
Lin Keke nodded repeatedly.
The comments section was filled with laughter.
Little Yu, aren't you afraid he'll beat you up when he gets back for talking about your brother like that?
[Celestial Master: I just conferred a title upon someone, and you're already undermining me?]
I agree to this marriage. My sister-in-law will be responsible for earning money to support the family, and the Taoist priest will be responsible for being beautiful.
Chen Xiaoyu stared at the screen, spouting nonsense with a straight face.
Don't worry, everyone. If my brother dares to bully my sister-in-law, I'll be the first to stand up for my brother.
Anyway, I'm now the younger sister of a Tomson Riviera resident.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall was reaching its climax.
Lei Zhen, holding a wine glass, strode up to Shen Nianqing.
"Miss Shen, I, Lao Lei, am a rough man and not good with words."
"I'll drink this glass in one gulp. From now on, in Guangdong Province, just mention my name, and it'll be perfectly effective!"
He Yunting also picked up his wine glass, ready to follow.
Just then, the heavy doors of the banquet hall made a soft thud.
The sound of the door hinges turning was particularly clear in the noisy hall.
Everyone unconsciously stopped what they were doing.
The noise stopped abruptly.
The hall fell silent instantly.
Lei Zhen's hand, holding the wine glass, froze in mid-air.
He Yunting turned his head, his gold-rimmed glasses reflecting the light of the crystal chandelier.
Ye Canghai stopped fiddling with the jade walnut in his hand.
All eyes turned to the doorway.
The door was slowly pushed open.
The corridor outside was dark, and the faces of the people coming in could not be seen clearly.
A tall and beautiful figure stood quietly outside the door.
The light shone on her, casting a long shadow.
