When Boss Hua heard Shi Dai address the old man, he couldn't help but ask, "Professor Shi, who is this elderly gentleman?"

Shi Dai smiled and said, "This is Master Mo Dao."

"Mo Dao?" Boss Hua thought for a moment, his face suddenly turned pale, and said, "Could it be that Master Mo from Ling City? The Master Mo rumored to possess the ability to exorcise demons and command the divine?"

"Indeed, it is he," Shi Dai replied with a proud expression, as if knowing Master Mo was a matter of great honor.

Upon hearing their conversation, Li Xiaoyao also became curious and looked towards Master Mo.

Exorcising demons and commanding the divine?

Could it be that this Master Mo is also a Cultivator?

As Li Xiaoyao directed his thoughts towards Master Mo, he could not sense any spiritual energy emanating from him.

Master Mo walked around the shop and his face gradually became serious as he said, "This shop is steeped in a heavy Yin energy."

Shi Dai hurriedly asked, "Does Master Mo have a solution?"

Master Mo nodded, hummed affirmatively, and said, "There is a solution, but it requires certain items."

"Just tell me what you need," Shi Dai replied.

Master Mo said, "A century-old Warm Jade, one Blood Acorus, and a Kaiyuan Tongbao coin."

Upon hearing this, Shi Dai's palm couldn't help but tremble.

Finding Blood Acorus might be easy, but century-old Warm Jade and a Kaiyuan Tongbao coin, these two items if evaluated by price, would probably cost several hundred thousand.

Li Xiaoyao, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh after hearing Master Mo's words, "Sheesh, exorcising a ghost doesn't need to be this troublesome. So-called exorcising and divine commanding masters are no big deal after all."

Master Mo frowned at Li Xiaoyao and snapped, "Who gave you the right to speak here?" Then he turned to Shi Dai and said, "This man is drowning in Yin energy. With him here, I cannot perform the rites."

Shi Dai furrowed his brow and said, "Sir, this is my shop, please leave."

Li Xiaoyao took out a cigarette, lit one, and replied, "This is my shop, and I don't need an old charlatan like you to exorcise any ghost. Disappear immediately, before I lose my temper."

Master Mo's white eyebrows twitched with anger as he exclaimed, "How dare you spout such reckless words!"

Just then, five black sedans suddenly stopped outside the shop, and as the doors opened, more than a dozen tall and fierce men stepped out.

The men, with batons hanging from their waists, strode quickly into the shop.

Seeing the men that came out of nowhere, Boss Hua demanded, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The leader was He Yong, one of the eleven veterans.

After receiving the phone call, Zhao Ge immediately ordered He Yong to take a team there.

He Yong didn't even glance at Boss Hua. He walked up to Li Xiaoyao and called out, "Boss."

At that call of "Boss," the complexions of everyone in the shop drastically changed, especially Boss Hua, whose face almost turned deathly pale.

This man he thought was just an ordinary person, seemed to be anything but ordinary.

Li Xiaoyao hummed in acknowledgment, pointed at Boss Hua, and said, "Take him to the bar to sit for a while. I'll come over later."

He Yong replied promptly and signaled to his brothers, "Take him away."

Immediately, several men approached, flanked Boss Hua on both sides, and dragged him out of the shop, taking him back to the car.

The whole incident took no more than two minutes, and Boss Hua had been taken away.

Shi Dai's face underwent several changes. Like Boss Hua, he too thought Li Xiaoyao was just an ordinary person, and the phone call he had made was merely for show.

But now it seemed that Li Xiaoyao was not just putting on airs; he truly had the means.

Master Mo also didn't dare to continue shouting at Li Xiaoyao. He stood in the shop with Shi Dai, their expressions uncertain.

Li Xiaoyao said, "Now, if I say this shop is mine, do any of you have objections?"

Shi Dai's face turned from green to white, and finally he said, "This shop is haunted. Even if you buy it, without Master Mo's assistance, you can't start your business here."

"Mere ghosts are not worth mentioning in my eyes," Li Xiaoyao stood up and said, "Now, please leave my shop."

"How arrogant!"

"What ignorance!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The two huffed and left the shop after dropping those words.

Having dealt with the shop issue, Li Xiaoyao looked at Zhang Meng and said, "Meng Meng, go find a gift wrapping service and make a hundred invitations for the shop's grand opening."

Zhang Meng asked, "But we haven't thought of a name for the shop yet."

"I've indeed forgotten about that." Li Xiaoyao asked, "Then why don't you name the shop?"

Zhang Meng was a bit excited and asked, "Really, you'll let me name it?"

Li Xiaoyao stroked her hair and said, "Of course, you'll be the shop's lady boss in the future."

Zhang Meng's cheeks flushed slightly, and she retorted lightly, "Who agreed to be the lady boss?"

Li Xiaoyao laughed heartily, lifted her from her chair, placed her on his lap, and said, "Once you're through the door of Li Xiaoyao, you're one of my people. The title of the lady boss is yours alone."

Hearing this made Zhang Meng's heart leap with joy. She hummed softly and said, "Then it shall be called 'Two Masters'. What do you think?"

Li Xiaoyao smiled and replied, "The name is good, grand, not vulgar."

"Really?" Zhang Meng, looking down with her fingers pinching the corner of her garment, said, "I was just thinking randomly."

"Truly, the name is particularly good; it makes one want to come in and buy something the moment they hear it."

"You're just good with flattering words."

Li Xiaoyao pinched her behind and said, "Let's go, let's grab a bite first, then later find someone to renovate the shop."

Zhang Meng expressed concern, "But what about the shop being haunted?"

"I know a master. I'll have him come by later to perform a ritual for the shop."

…

After leaving the shop, Li Xiaoyao took Zhang Meng out for a meal.

After eating, Zhang Meng went to prepare the invitations while Li Xiaoyao went back home.

Old Jiang was sitting in the living room, meditating and cultivating. Hearing the door open, he opened his eyes.

Li Xiaoyao, standing at the door, said, "Old man, come with me for a bit."

With an infuriated face, Old Jiang bellowed, "Kid, you're now an elder of Xuan Sect. Can't you be more polite to your senior? I am decades older than you, a senior by age; you should learn some respect."

Li Xiaoyao curled his lip and said, "If it weren't for your trickery yesterday, I wouldn't have agreed to be some elder of Xuan Sect."

Old Jiang blew his beard and stared, exclaiming, "You ungrateful brat! Do you know how many people are desperately trying to get into Xuan Sect and can't find the chance? You're acting spoiled with the advantages you have."

Li Xiaoyao waved his hand dismissively and said, "Enough already, no need for such talk. I've just bought a shop that is haunted. Go over there and help me exorcise the ghosts."

"What? Exorcise ghosts?" Old Jiang's eyes widened with alarm, and he immediately became anxious, "You want me, the eighteenth-generation sect leader of Xuan Sect, to exorcise ghosts for you?"

Li Xiaoyao rolled his eyes and said, "So what? Can't a sect leader exorcise ghosts? In a word, will you go or not?"

"I will not!" Old Jiang's attitude was firm. Explore stories on empire

Li Xiaoyao brought out his trump card, "Fine, if you don't go, I'll quit being your so-called honorary elder."

Old Jiang was both angry and annoyed, but he had no choice but to compromise, saying, "Kid, you're ruthless!"
