Chapter 1662: Wealth Is a Mere Worldly Possession
Yang Yuhui couldn’t help but frown. He had bought this house with a lot of money. Could it be he really couldn’t live here anymore?
“Wealth is a mere worldly possession. If you truly begrudge this small amount of money and still continue living in a house like this, you won’t live long,” said the Daoist priest, upon seeing Yang Yuhui hesitate.
Fang Menghan sat next to Yang Yuhui and persuaded, “Senior Brother, you should listen to the priest. You can sell this house.”
Yang Yuhui had no choice but to nod.
The old Daoist priest started his performance. His actions kicked up a storm, making for a rather spectacular scene. Just by looking at the old priest’s pale white face, one could see how difficult it was to fight evil spirits.
Finally, the old Daoist priest spat a mouthful of blood and passed out.
As soon as the priest woke up, he rushed to leave, saying that this thing was too powerful for him to deal with.
Yang Yuhui became even more anxious. He immediately offered 200,000 yuan to the old Daoist priest. As long as the priest dealt with the things around him, Yang Yuhui could even pay him 200,000 yuan.
The old Daoist waved his hand without even considering it. Then, he packed his things and left without looking back.
Fang Menghan hurriedly chased after the priest and tried her best to drag him back. Yang Yuhui offered him one million right away this time.
The old Daoist priest sighed and said, “This thing is too powerful, forgive me for being powerless.”
The old Daoist priest turned and left.
Fang Menghan looked at Yang Yuhui helplessly. The corners of Yang Yuhui’s mouth were extremely crooked as he shouted at Fang Menghan, “Chase after him.”
Fang Menghan chased after the Daoist priest and brought him back.
The old Daoist priest was a little impatient. “What are you doing? If I say I can’t deal with it, it means I can’t deal with it.”
Yang Yuhui said firmly, “Five million.”
After Yang Yuhui finished speaking, he could almost feel his heart dripping blood. He had kept this money aside for filming movies, but now that he was like this, being able to write scripts and make movies was just a pipe dream.
“It’s not about money,” said the old Daoist priest with a pale face.
Fang Menghan cried and pleaded with the Daoist priest, “Please help my senior brother. He’s supposed to be an incomparable genius, not someone like he is now. I’m begging you.”
Fang Menghan’s words evoked the depression and panic in Yang Yuhui’s heart. Yes, he was someone who wanted to start a big business. How could he remain in such dire straits like this? How would he be worthy of the search system in his mind when he was like this?
Yang Yuhui added another one million to make it a total of six million. The old Daoist priest sighed and decided to stay in the house to heal him. He said that they would discuss payment after Yang Yuhui recovered.
The Daoist priest gave Yang Yuhui another talisman to drink.
After a long and difficult exorcism, they finally managed to drive the evil spirit away. The old Daoist priest took the six million yuan that Yang Yuhui handed to him and left. As he was leaving, he asked Yang Yuhui to sell the house. This house was really ominous.
However, Yang Yuhui had already spent many years mixing in society. When it came to real estate, having more was always better than having less. He didn’t heed the old Daoist’s words, and instead rented it out again.
After six million went down the drain, Yang Yuhui’s assets were all gone. Yang Yuhui felt distressed, but he thought about how he would recover soon and could earn all the money back in the future.
However, by the time school started, Yang Yuhui’s crooked mouth did not see any improvement, and drool flowed out of his mouth in torrents.
Although the fine needle in his wrist had been taken out, his hands were still weak and powerless. It was inconvenient for him to do anything by himself.
And, Fang Menghan didn’t come to take care of him anymore. He finally dialed Fang Menghan’s phone with much difficulty.
Fang Menghan apologized over the phone, saying that school had just started, so she was going to class. She couldn’t take care of Yang Yuhui and asked him to find a nurse to take care of himself.
