When a Master of Metaphysics Marries into a Wealthy Family

In theory, it’s not right for Shen Ye and Ye Ze to detain Yang Yuhang without authorization. However, in the past, every year the old Taoist killed forty-nine people, and Yang Yuhang helped him. Yang Yuhang is also an unforgivable executioner. It’s too cheap to let her be sentenced to death by the police. Besides, Yang Yuhang is also a member of the Daoist sect, so Shen Ye naturally has to use the methods of the Daoist sect to deal with her.

After being detained for a period of time, Yang Yuhang’s face was haggard, and her whole body was full of gloom. She was no longer as beautiful as she was in the movies.

When she saw Mr. Shi, her eyes scanned him viciously, “You betrayed me!”

Mr. Shi was frightened and stepped back, “…”

He now has a shadow even when facing Yang Yuhang. Although Master Shen explained that he and his family were targeted by the old Taoist because their horoscope matched his, if it weren’t for Yang Yuhang, the old Taoist would probably not have noticed him.

Furthermore, when he was taken to Mingfeng Mountain by Yang Yuhang, he almost betrayed his wife. Now he feels sick at the sound of Yang Yuhang’s name.

If Yang Yuhang wasn’t the number one celebrity of Ba Jiao Entertainment, he wouldn’t come to see her.

Shen Ye looked at Mr. Shi and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already disabled her cultivation.”

Mr. Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

When Yang Yuhang heard Shen Ye’s words, she transferred all her hatred to him and said, “I remember you. Weren’t you almost killed by your stepmother and her son? What are you doing meddling in my business?”

Shen Ye smiled, “It seems like you haven’t paid attention to the news outside for too long. That stepmother’s family is now barely hanging on to life and cannot ask for death.”

Yang Yuhang frowned.

She remembered the last time at Mingfeng Mountain, Shen Ye used a talisman paper to make her powerless and also disabled her cultivation. It’s evident that Shen Ye’s skills are not small.

She stared at Shen Ye with a sinister look and said, “You let me go, or else my master will come and you won’t live!”

Shen Ye sneered, “Your master has already scattered into the wind. Don’t you feel it?”

Yang Yuhang’s heart tightened.

Indeed, she couldn’t sense the presence of the old Taoist. She thought it was because her cultivation was disabled, but now she realized that it was because the old Taoist had already scattered into the wind.

“I don’t believe it!” Yang Yuhang raised her voice, “My master is very capable. Don’t try to deceive me!”

Shen Ye shrugged, “Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

Yang Yuhang wanted to say more but stopped.

Shen Ye ignored her and directly placed a talisman on her.

“Have you been helping your master swallow the souls of the deceased for the past twenty years?” Shen Ye asked.

Yang Yuhang was unable to lie due to the talisman and answered truthfully, “Yes.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shi silently shrank into the corner of the sofa.

This woman was too malicious, and it was terrifying.

In twenty years, nearly a thousand lives were taken…this woman should face the consequences even if she dies!

Shen Ye took out a pen and paper and said, “Write down all the names of the people you remember, as well as their birthplaces and dates of birth.”

Yang Yuhang couldn’t disobey his command and had to take the paper and pen.

This was also why Shen Ye kept Yang Yuhang. Although the souls of the victims were swallowed and refined by the old Taoist, the old Taoist did not care about the names and birthplaces of the victims. Only Yang Yuhang, the one who handled the victims, could remember their information.

Once he had the information, Shen Ye would contact the police and let them find the victims’ families, which would also give the victims some closure.

Yang Yuhang wrote slowly. Some of the incidents were too long ago for her to remember the names and birthplaces, but she remembered the birthdates clearly because they had to match the old Taoist’s requirements.

Shen Ye said, “Write down the names of the victims, whether you remember their surnames or given names, and how many you can recall.”

The police would verify the information later.

Writing down over a thousand pieces of information was not easy for Yang Yuhang.

Fortunately, she was controlled by the talisman, so even if she was unwilling, she could not refuse to do it.

Mr. Shi was originally very afraid of Yang Yuhang and was trying to avoid her, but he saw her writing down the victims’ information while squatting next to the coffee table. He glanced over and saw many of the victims’ names.

… Fortunately, he knew Master Shen, otherwise, his family would also be on this list.

Mr. Shi sighed and suddenly saw two familiar names.

One was named Lin Hong, who was the leading actress of Ba Jiao Entertainment over ten years ago, but died in a car accident.

The other was Wang Zihao, also a popular actor in the company, who died in a car accident on the spot.

So, were these two people also killed by Yang Yuhang?

Yang Yuhang created the illusion of a car accident, but in reality, she brought these two people to the old Taoist and let him swallow their souls.

Shi Zong stood up suddenly, angry enough to want to beat up Yang Yuhang.

When the company was first established, Lin Hong and Wang Zihao were the first artists to sign a contract with the company. Mr. Shi had a good relationship with them and even felt a bit like family. When the two died in a car accident, he and his wife were upset for a long time.

“This woman is crazy!” Mr. Shi was so angry that his eyes turned red as he paced back and forth by the sofa.

He remembered that Lin Hong had helped Yang Yuhang before, and it was Lin Hong who taught Yang Yuhang her acting skills!

“Ungrateful! She’s repaying kindness with enmity!” Mr. Shi glared at Yang Yuhang, unable to understand how she could be so vicious!

He clenched his fists together. If it weren’t for the fact that Yang Yuhang was still useful to Master Shen, he would have taken the fruit knife on the coffee table and stabbed it directly into Yang Yuhang’s belly to avenge Lin Hong and Wang Zihao.

Shen Ye looked at him and said, “Wait for her to finish writing, then you can beat her up.”

“Okay! I’ll wait for her to finish!” Mr. Shi took a deep breath.

Of course, he knew he couldn’t kill anyone, otherwise, his hands would be stained with blood. He didn’t want to dirty his hands with the blood of an animal like Yang Yuhang!

But it was okay to give her a beating. That would be venting the anger for Lin Hong and Wang Zihao.

While Yang Yuhang was copying the information, Shen Ye went to find Xu Sisi and asked, “Do you know how Liu Sha is doing recently?”

Xu Sisi didn’t expect him to ask about Liu Sha and thought for a few seconds before saying, “She resigned and went on a trip out of town a few days ago. She just returned to Haicheng yesterday.”

“Please give her a call and ask her to come to Rongyuan,” Master Shen said.

Xu Sisi was puzzled. “To bring a new artist?” she asked.

Mr. Shi also looked at Shen Ye and had already guessed that the new artist he was referring to was Li Xin.

Sure enough, Shen Ye said, “Her name is Li Xin. I’ve seen Li Xin and Liu Sha’s physiognomy1a pseudoscientific practice of predicting a person’s character or personality traits based on their facial features, body shape, and other physical characteristics. They are very compatible, and working together would produce twice the result with half the effort.”

Li Xin was stubborn and strong-willed, while Liu Sha was soft-hearted and dedicated to the artists.

The two of them would work well together and could produce unexpected benefits.

Xu Sisi hesitated. “Liu Sha used to be a broker for Ba Jiao Entertainment. She may not want to come back.”

Mr. Shi also knew this. He scratched his head and said, “At that time, Liu Sha was following an artist under her, and I didn’t stop her… She’s just too emotional… But people who are emotional are still better than those who are heartless.”

As he said this, he turned around and glared fiercely at Yang Yuhang.

If everyone was like the ungrateful and vicious animal Yang Yuhang, who even harmed her benefactors, then this world would be finished.

Mr. Shi took another look at Xu Sisi. She is also very loyal. She helped Shen Ye a little when he was down, and now she is rewarded with a good job managing Shen Ye’s studio, making money, and enjoying an easy life.

“At that time, Liu Sha and the company parted peacefully and did not have any conflicts. If she wants to come back, of course, I welcome her,” said Mr. Shi.

Xu Sisi thought for a few seconds and said, “Then I’ll contact her and see.”

Shen Ye nodded with a smile.

While waiting for Li Xin and Liu Sha to arrive, Shen Ye took Yang Yuhang to the lounge.

Yang Yuhang is a national actress with a great reputation. Recently, Ba Jiao Entertainment announced that Yang Yuhang had a serious illness and needed to rest. If Li Xin and Liu Sha saw Yang Yuhang here, they would surely be surprised.

Shen Ye did not want too many people to know about Yang Yuhang’s misdeeds.

Not to hide for Yang Yuhang, but because once this matter spreads, it will surely cause a nationwide panic. After all, it is nearly a thousand lives, which ordinary people cannot accept.

After about twenty minutes, Li Xin arrived.

She heard that she was coming to see Mr. Shi and deliberately dressed up, looking dignified yet not losing the liveliness of a young person, which was very appropriate.

Such a beautiful and reserved girl is still very attractive.

Even Xu Sisi took a few more glances.

As a former gold medal agent, Xu Sisi took only a few glances at Li Xin and concluded that this girl would definitely have a bright future.

She looks pure and weak, with a little baby fat on her face. She will be very popular with the audience.

As soon as you give her good resources for cultivation, her future will definitely be bright.

Shen Ye introduced Li Xin to Mr. Shi.

Mr. Shi has been managing the company for many years and is very good at judging people. His views are the same as Xu Sisi’s.

“After signing with the company, the company will give you the resources you want,” Mr. Shi paused and said, “Originally, I wanted to assign you an agent, but Master Shen said there was already someone to do that, so I won’t make arrangements.”

Li Xin did not expect that Shen Ye would also find an agent for her. She was curious and expectant.

Shen Ye teased her and said, “You’ll find out later.”

Not long after, Liu Sha hurried over.

After Li Xiaoqing was frozen, she owed a huge breach of contract fee. Later, she borrowed money from Liu Sha and paid back some of her savings. Unfortunately, Li Xiaoqing took the money and did not repay it, but continued to squander it and even became addicted to drugs. Liu Sha was not a fool. With Li Xiaoqing’s bad behavior, if she got involved with her again, she would probably be drained.

So Liu Sha moved, changed her phone number, and went on a trip for a while, finally getting rid of Li Xiaoqing’s harassment.

When Xu Sisi called her today, she had just woken up and her mind was still a little confused.

Xu Sisi asked if she wanted to go back to Ba Jiao Entertainment. She thought she had to continue to mix in the industry, and Ba Jiao Entertainment was one of the top companies, and with Xu Sisi as a go-between, she had some connections left here… So she agreed.

When Liu Sha entered the living room, she saw everyone looking at her, and she lowered her head to check her clothes before asking with a smile, “Did I wear my clothes inside out?”

She was in a hurry and hadn’t put on any makeup.

“No, everyone was just waiting for you,” Xu Sisi walked over and took her arm, smiling, “I didn’t explain clearly over the phone, talk to Mr. Shi yourself.”

Li Xin greeted Mr. Shi respectfully upon seeing him.

Mr. Shi was very amiable: “We are all guests invited by Master Shen, no need to be polite to each other.”

Then Xu Sisi took the lead in introducing Liu Sha to Li Xin and explaining Shen Ye’s intentions to Liu Sha.

Li Xin, of course, knew Liu Sha, as she had brought out many popular celebrities, especially the recent Li Xiaoqing, who was very popular, despite being all negative…

If it was before, Li Xin might have felt that Liu Sha was not a very good manager, as she didn’t control Li Xiaoqing well. But since Master Shen asked Liu Sha to be her manager, there must be a reason!

She respectfully called out, “Sister Sha Sha.”

Liu Sha looked at Li Xin and her eyes lit up.

Although her taste was not as good as Xu Sisi and Mr. Shi, it was not bad either, and she could naturally see that Li Xin was a talent.

Xu Sisi continued to encourage them on the side, and everything went smoothly. Both Mr. Shi, Liu Sha, and Li Xin were satisfied.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but smile.

He knew that with Sister Si’s help, there was nothing they couldn’t handle.

But Shen Ye was not very interested in these entertainment matters. Seeing Xu Sisi and Liu Sha chatting happily, he asked the butler to entertain them and quietly left to find Ye Ze.

Ye Ze was in the study talking to Zong Yiming.

The study’s window faced the yard and could see the situation at the front door. So when Li Xin arrived, Ye Ze happened to see her.

After that, Ye Ze became somewhat restless, and Zong Yiming held back his laughter and asked in a low voice, “Do you want to go out and see?”

Ye Ze glanced at him lightly, “No need.”

Jealousy was jealousy, but he would not interfere with the child’s plan.

Zong Yiming cleared his throat and was about to continue his report when there was a knock on the door.

Then Shen Ye’s voice came from outside, “Uncle, can I come in?”

Zong Yiming clearly saw the change in the master’s expression become gentler.

He knew that whenever the young master appeared, the master would be happy.

Zong Yiming smiled and went to open the door.

Shen Ye walked in and asked Ye Ze, “Did I disturb you?”

“No,” Ye Ze shook his head and waved at him, “Come over.”

Shen Ye walked towards him with a smiling face.

After Shen Ye entered, Zong Yiming took the initiative to leave the study and thoughtfully closed the door.

Shen Ye threw himself onto Ye Ze and saw the planning book on the table, surprised, “Are you planning the tourism area in Lishan Village?”

“Mm.” Ye Ze gently wrapped his arm around him and led him to the sofa, where they sat side by side. “The project is about to start, and Zong Yiming is in charge of it.”

It seemed that Zong Yiming had just reported on the matter.

Shen Ye hugged Ye Ze’s neck and smiled, “Uncle, on behalf of Lin Zhi’s family and the villagers of Lishan Village, thank you.”

Ye Ze looked at him quietly and asked, “You are my fiancé. Why do you need to thank me for them?”

Shen Ye rubbed against his neck and replied, “Well… anyway, my fiancé is beautiful and kind, so I have to praise him!”

Ye Ze chuckled.

His laughter was too charming, and Shen Ye couldn’t resist leaning up to kiss him.

At that moment, Ye Ze whispered, “I asked Zong Yiming to plan our itinerary. When you have summer vacation, we’ll go to Qi Lian Mountains first, then to the capital to register for marriage.”

Shen Ye was taken aback. “Will you have time for that?”

Ye Ze ruffled his hair and replied, “Mm, I can leave the company’s affairs to Shen Shimu.”

“Great!” Shen Ye happily hugged him.

Ever since the Little Golden Dragon attached itself to Ye Ze’s finger, Shen Ye had been eager to go to Qi Lian Mountains. The Little Golden Dragon was hidden in cinnabar, which they obtained from the mountains. Shen Ye had a hunch that there might be opportunities for Ye Ze in Qi Lian Mountains.

The two cuddled and talked about the upcoming summer vacation. Shen Ye was especially excited because his birthday was in the first week of the summer vacation. They could get married, go on a road trip, and seek opportunities…just thinking about it made him drool.

Just as Shen Ye was enjoying himself, Xu Sisi suddenly knocked on the door from outside. “Are you guys up to no good in there?”

“…” Shen Ye sat up from Ye Ze’s embrace and complained, “Even if we were doing something bad, she scared us!”

Ye Ze chuckled and kissed his face before getting up to open the door.

Xu Sisi’s gaze immediately fell on the two of them.

“We didn’t do anything wrong!” Shen Ye walked over with an angry expression, “Sister Si, you’re becoming more and more like a wicked stepmother.”

“Get lost!” Xu Sisi patted his back, “There are guests outside. I just wanted you to be a bit more aware and not cause a scene.”

Shen Ye snorted, “It’s your dirty mind.”

Xu Sisi was speechless, thinking to herself that they could even stick together while having breakfast. How could that be considered dirty?

She rolled her eyes, “Mr. Shi and the others have finished their discussion and are ready to sign the contract. They want you to be a witness.”

Shen Ye was surprised, “They’re signing the contract already?”

Xu Sisi shrugged, “Yes. Mr. Shi is the boss, and Liu Sha and Li Xin are free agents with decision-making power. Since I am familiar with artist contracts, I prepared the contract for them, printed a few copies, and they just need to sign and seal them.”

Shen Ye laughed, “They’re all people with courage. Not bad.”

Xu Sisi also smiled, “I think so too, especially Li Xin. She’s young but has this kind of courage. I’m sure she’ll achieve great things in the future.”

Shen Ye glanced at Ye Ze, not daring to praise Li Xin too much, otherwise his own man would become jealous.

Ye Ze raised his eyebrows at him, “It’s okay. You can praise her.”

“…”

Shen Ye: I dare not, I dare not.

“In fact, Li Xin has also been fooled before. It’s her good fortune to meet Mr. Shi and Liu Sha.” Shen Ye carefully chose his words and looked at Ye Ze’s expression before finally making this evaluation.

Xu Sisi playfully poked his forehead, “No backbone!”

Shen Ye narrowed his eyes, “What’s backbone? Can you eat it? Is it more important than my uncle?”

He subtly flattered the man.

The corner of Ye Ze’s lips curled up slightly.

Shen Ye laughed foolishly.

Xu Sisi: “…”

She could hardly bear to watch.

“Okay, you can go now.” Xu Sisi turned around and walked out.

If she stayed to watch Shen Ye and Ye Ze being lovey-dovey, she wouldn’t need to eat lunch.

Shen Ye pinched Ye Ze’s finger. “I’ll be right back.”

Ye Ze smiled and touched his face. “I’ll go for a walk with Grandpa and Grandma. You can do your thing.”

Shen Ye nodded, took a few steps, then turned back, and sighed, “I want to eat the spicy chicken you made. It’s been so many days… But I’m leaving them to have dinner, I don’t want them to taste your cooking!”

These days, Ye Ze had been making fish with chopped chili peppers, and Shen Ye missed the spicy chicken.

“Then sneak into the kitchen and eat.” Of course, Ye Ze had to indulge his own child.

Shen Ye’s eyes and eyebrows curled up. “Okay.”

He went to the living room, and sure enough, Mr. Shi and the others were holding pens and getting ready to sign.

Because of Shen Ye’s recommendation, Mr. Shi had a high opinion of Li Xin and offered very favorable conditions. Li Xin knew about Ba Jiao Entertainment and had Shen Ye’s guarantee, so she had no objections. As for Liu Sha, she was more easygoing. She had just talked to Li Xin and found that Li Xin was honest, which made her a bit more satisfied. And Mr. Shi’s conditions were also very generous, so she naturally had no objections.

Everyone was satisfied with the contract, so the three parties signed the contract under Shen Ye’s witness.

After signing, Liu Sha was still a little dazed and whispered to Xu Sisi, “I didn’t expect to find a new job so quickly… Thanks to Master Shen… he’s such a good person!”

Xu Sisi smiled slightly.

Yes, she was also grateful to have met Shen Ye.

Afterward, Shen Ye let Xu Sisi accompany Liu Sha and Li Xin to chat in the living room, while he and Mr. Shi went to the lounge to meet Yang Yuhang.

Yang Yuhang had almost written down the information about the victims she had dealt with.

Shen Ye looked at it, and the birth dates of the victims were basically clear, only their names and hometowns were missing.

Of course, this was not a big problem. Now it’s the era of big data. If the police check it, they should be able to find out the information.

And the victims that Yang Yuhang had found were mostly from several provinces near Haicheng, so the range had been greatly narrowed down.

Shen Ye put away the information table and unsealed the spell on Yang Yuhang’s body.

Yang Yuhang immediately shouted, “Shen Ye, let me go! At least I’m a well-known celebrity. If someone finds out that you illegally detained me, you’ll be finished!”

Shen Ye sneered, “Ba Jiao Entertainment recently released news that you have a serious illness and need to rest at home. Your agent and your friends in the industry have all forwarded this message. Now everyone knows you’re sick and receiving treatment.”

“No, I don’t believe it…” Yang Yuhang screamed.

Shen Ye ignored her and continued, “In a couple of days, Mr. Shi will announce on behalf of the company that you have suddenly fallen ill and passed away.”

“Shi Bajiao, how could you treat me like this!” Yang Yuhang’s anger shifted to Mr. Shi.

“You killed Lin Hong and Wang Zihao. If I don’t kill you to avenge them, I would be doing them a disservice,” Mr. Shi restrained the urge to roll his eyes.

“You can beat her up now,” Shen Ye said.

Mr. Shi immediately walked over and punched Yang Yuhang hard in the stomach.

He never hit women, and he could even say that he had never used his hands in his entire life. But Yang Yuhang was just too malicious, and Mr. Shi felt that she wasn’t a person, but an evil spirit.

Yang Yuhang couldn’t withstand Mr. Shi’s punch since she was already weakened.

Soon, she was rolling on the ground holding her head, screaming for help.

Shen Ye muttered to himself, “Thank goodness I used sealing paper to soundproof the area.”

Otherwise, Liu Sha and Li Xin outside might think there had been a terrible incident in the villa.

Finally, Mr. Shi got tired of beating her and stopped.

Yang Yuhang’s body and face were covered in bruises, and she lay on the ground sobbing and begging for mercy.

Shen Ye stared at her expressionlessly, “Twenty years ago, you became famous, and you’ve stayed famous for so many years because the old Taoist priest has been changing your fate for you, right?”

Yang Yuhang seemed to have not heard his words and continued crying on the ground.

Of course, Shen Ye didn’t need her to admit it because he already had the answer in his heart.

“A thousand lives are enough for you to die a hundred times and serve tens of thousands of years in the underworld. But I think that evil spirits like you need to have their souls destroyed to prevent future trouble…”

Sending Yang Yuhang to the underworld to serve her sentence was also a way of dealing with her.

But Shen Ye felt that even if Yang Yuhang served tens of thousands of years, she wouldn’t be able to atone for her sins. The most effective punishment would be to destroy her soul completely.

When Yang Yuhang heard that Shen Ye wanted to destroy her soul, she screamed, “No, you can’t do that… Please let me go. I’ll do anything to repay you… “

Mr. Shi listened with a cold sneer. This malicious woman still had moments of fear. Why wasn’t she afraid when she caused harm to others?

Hi~~

I’m not finished editing the uploaded chapters yet. Ye Ze’s assistant is named Zong Yiming, not Zu Yiming or Zhao Yiming. Also, it’s Yang Yuhang and not Yang Yuhan. I’m backtracking every chapter to fix this mistake.

1a pseudoscientific practice of predicting a person’s character or personality traits based on their facial features, body shape, and other physical characteristics
