The wedding was livestreamed by the sister, revealing his identity as a Taoist priest.

Master Xuanmo's words captivated all the big shots present.

Lei Zhen stretched his neck out so long that He Yunting even had to hold his breath.

Ye Canghai stood up straighter than a primary school student, his hands neatly placed on his trouser legs.

The Celestial Master's return gift?

How could it be bad?

Master Xuanmo took out an antique sandalwood box from his sleeve.

Everyone's eyes were instantly fixed on that box.

Grandma Zhou Xiuqing, leaning on her cane, took half a step forward, and Song Changfeng quickly stepped forward to support her.

"Miss Shen, this was made by the Celestial Master himself last night, and he ordered this old Taoist to come down the mountain overnight to deliver it."

Shen Nianqing nodded slightly and accepted the wooden box with both hands.

Under the watchful eyes of dozens of green eyes, I gently lifted the lid of the box.

There was no golden light, nor any earth-shattering phenomenon.

Inside the box, there were more than a dozen sheets of yellow paper neatly stacked.

The runes drawn with cinnabar, with their vigorous strokes, subtly exude a righteous and peaceful Taoist aura.

"Amulet for peace and safety".

Master Xuanmo spoke in a calm tone.

"The Celestial Master said that as family heads navigate the turbulent waters of the business world, they inevitably become tainted by worldly corruption."

"Carrying this talisman on your person can ward off evil spirits and disasters, and protect your home and family from harm."

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhen swallowed hard, the sound of which was particularly loud in the quiet courtyard.

Peace talisman?

If you were under an overpass, you could buy three tickets for ten yuan.

But this was drawn by the Celestial Master himself!

The talisman was drawn by a living deity who can draw dragon veins and lift nine cauldrons!

Shen Nianqing looked at the yellow talisman in the box, then looked around.

The bigwigs all stood ramrod straight, their eyes burning with fervor that seemed to scorch the wooden box, yet they stubbornly maintained the airs of patriarchs of powerful families.

Shen Nianqing smiled, picked up a talisman, and walked up to Zhou Xiuqing.

"Grandma Song, the Song family went to great lengths last night. Please accept this first peace charm."

Zhou Xiuqing's hands trembled as she accepted the light, fluttering yellow paper.

"Thank you, Shen girl. Thank you, Master."

Song Changfeng and Song Yun watched from the side, bowing repeatedly with excitement.

Shen Nianqing turned around and walked towards Ye Canghai.

"Elder Ye."

"Oh dear, I'm flattered!"

Ye Canghai accepted the talisman with both hands, his old face beaming with a smile like a chrysanthemum.

He pretended to be nonchalant, but his hands were shaking like someone with Parkinson's disease.

Next was He Yunting.

He Yunting took the talisman and pulled out a pure gold business card holder from the inside pocket of his suit.

I emptied all the business cards inside and carefully put the amulet inside.

When it was Lei Zhen's turn...

Lei Zhen held the talisman in both hands, his mouth stretched to his ears in a wide grin.

"Miss Shen, I can't thank you enough! From now on, I, Old Lei, will personally escort the Shen family's cargo ships at sea!"

The twelve chaebol tycoons each received one.

These business tycoons still have to maintain the facade of being business titans.

"Miss Shen, we'll take our leave now."

"Miss Shen, please don't bother seeing me off."

A group of people politely withdrew from the gates of the Shen Family Manor.

Just as I stepped out the door, the large iron gate slammed shut with a loud bang.

The area outside the door instantly erupted in chaos.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Lei Zhen was the first to break down, throwing his head back and laughing wildly.

The laughter was so loud that the trees next to it started shedding leaves.

"I now have a peace talisman personally drawn by a Taoist master! Let's see which rival dares to play dirty tricks on me from now on!"

Ye Canghai stopped pretending and slapped his thigh with joy.

"Mr. He, your Tomson Riviera is nothing! I wouldn't trade this talisman for your entire Tomson Riviera!"

He Yunting pushed up his glasses, his lips curving into a wide grin.

"Old Ye is right, this is a life-saving trump card that money can't buy."

A group of business tycoons who are usually aloof and arrogant are now laughing like children who have just won candy on the side of the road.

yard.

Shen Nianqing took the remaining talismans in her hand.

Turning my head, I met several pairs of incredibly resentful eyes.

The five garrison commanders of Tian Shu, along with Director Zhou Ce, stood neatly at the bottom of the steps.

Shen Cang leaned on his cane, staring longingly at the yellow paper in Shen Nianqing's hand.

Lei Shan was so anxious that he scratched his head, wanting to speak but too embarrassed to do so.

Ye Hongyu bit her red lips, her eyes burning with a intensity that could set those few sheets of paper ablaze.

They are superhumans.

They understood better than ordinary people and wealthy tycoons what the talismans drawn by the Celestial Master meant.

It's a life-saving artifact that can at least block attacks from S-class evil spirits!

But they were government officials, and they didn't send any betrothal gifts or help the Shen family with their business ventures.

How could I possibly ask for it?

Shen Nianqing couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at their eager expressions.

"Director Zhou."

Zhou Ce quickly came forward, his back ramrod straight.

"What are your instructions, Miss Shen?"

Shen Nianqing handed over the remaining talismans in her hand.

"These past few days, everyone from Tian Shu has been working hard, braving the elements to maintain order for the Shen family. Thank you for your efforts."

"These amulets are a small token of the Shen family's appreciation; please share them."

Zhou Ce was stunned.

Shen Cang almost dropped his cane.

Lei Shan's eyes instantly lit up like a two-thousand-watt light bulb.

"This...this is too much trouble!"

Zhou Ce rubbed his hands vigorously on his trouser legs.

His face flushed red; he wanted to accept the offer but felt it was against the rules.

"We are performing our duties; protecting the lives and property of the people is our responsibility..."

Zhou Ce hadn't finished speaking.

Lei Shan rushed forward and grabbed Zhou Ce's wrist.

"Old Zhou, don't give it to me!"

Lei Shan howled in a rough voice.

"My shoulder has been hurting lately, it must be from something dirty. This talisman will help cure it!"

"Get lost!"

Shen Cang struck Lei Shan's leg with his cane.

"Your shoulder hurts from carrying the train carriage yesterday, stop pretending!"

Shen Cang turned to look at Zhou Ce, his expression serious.

"Old Zhou, Miss Shen has shown us great kindness. If we refuse, we would be ungrateful."

Zhou Ce glared at his two shameless old buddies.

He quickly accepted the talisman with both hands.

"Thank you very much, Miss Shen! From now on, Tian Shu will take care of all the security for the Shen family in Jiangcheng!"

The garrison commanders immediately huddled together, all beaming with joy.

Just then.

Suddenly, a series of extremely urgent shouts came from outside the manor gate.

"Wait! Don't close the door! Wait!"

I peered out through the crack in the door.

An old man dressed in a plain Tang suit was seen pulling a young woman along, rushing hurriedly toward the gate.

"Old Zhou! Old Ji! You two come out here!"

Chu Qingshan shouted at the top of his lungs and grabbed onto the iron gate railing.

"I flew here on a red-eye flight in the middle of the night, and you guys dare to hog all the food!"

yard.

Zhou Dechang, who was brushing dust off the Yongzhou Ding with a small brush, trembled violently upon hearing the sound.

She turned to look at the gate and rolled her eyes dramatically.

"That old dog, he got here pretty fast."

Ji Jingshan didn't even look up, continuing to examine the inscription with the magnifying glass.

"Ignore him and let him stay out in the cold wind for a while longer."

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Chu Qingshan was so anxious that he jumped up and down.

"Miss Shen! I am Chu Qingshan, the curator of the Imperial Capital Museum!"

"I've come specifically to pay you a visit and, while I'm at it, to admire the divine cauldron!"

Shen Nianqing nodded slightly when she heard that he was the curator of the Imperial Capital Museum.

"Uncle Liu, please open the door and let them in."

The door slowly opened.

Chu Qingshan grabbed his granddaughter and rushed in.

Without even saying hello, they headed straight for the giant bronze cauldron in the center of the lawn.

"My God..."

"The Yongzhou Cauldron...it really is the Yongzhou Cauldron..."

Chu Yao stood behind her grandfather, holding up her phone, staring in awe at the legendary artifact.

however.

on the steps.

Master Xuanmo and Dan Chenzi's gazes passed over the grandfather and grandson and landed on the figure who had just stepped through the gate.

He was an old monk.

He fiddled with a string of Bodhi prayer beads in his hand, his eyes lowered, and his steps slow.

He had no imposing presence whatsoever; he was just like an ordinary pilgrim.

But the moment he stepped into the Shen family manor.

The spiritual energy in the courtyard paused almost imperceptibly for a moment.

The two exchanged a glance, and Dan Chenzi raised an eyebrow and lowered his voice.

"Senior Brother, are you from the Buddhist sect?"
