After the white jade tablet shattered, all the remaining evil energy within the little boy dissipated.
Leo found a bag, collected the fragments of the white jade tablet, and then carried the child out of the villa.
Outside the villa, a middle-aged couple saw Leo carrying their son and their eyes lit up.
They hurried forward. The middle-aged woman took the child from Leo’s arms, and the middle-aged man anxiously asked, “Master, is my child alright?”
Leo smiled and said, “It’s all resolved. Your son is fine.”
The middle-aged woman checked her son and found that all the abnormalities had disappeared. His cold body had become warm again. She cried tears of joy, “Thank goodness, my son is alright!”
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Leo with gratitude. “Master, thank you so much. Without your help, we wouldn’t have been able to bear this blow.”
Leo said seriously, “Now that you know, don’t just collect things randomly in the future. If you encounter another problem, you might not be as lucky to find me.”
A look of regret flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes. He nodded firmly and said, “Master, rest assured. I will never play with antiques again or collect random things.”
Leo nodded. “That’s good. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. By the way, I’ll take the fragments of the white jade tablet with me. Is that alright?”
“No problem at all. I’d be more than happy for you to take them. But Master, you saved my son. Letting you leave just like this makes us feel uneasy. Please allow us to repay you,” the middle-aged man said sincerely.
Leo waved his hand dismissively. “It’s fine. I only helped because it was a child being harmed by the evil energy. If it were an adult, I might not have intervened. This was the child’s fortune; no need to be so polite.”
“No, I must repay you. How about this: Master, please come inside and let me prepare a small gift as a token of our gratitude.” The middle-aged man grabbed Leo’s hand and wouldn’t let go.
The middle-aged woman exclaimed, “Why don’t we move out of here and stay at my parents’ place for a while?”
Because of what had happened, she felt scared to stay in the villa.
Leo smiled and said, “Ma’am, the evil energy has been removed. Your home’s geomancy is excellent and suitable for living.”
“Really?” The middle-aged woman actually liked living there.
Leo nodded affirmatively.
“Honey, quickly invite the Master into the living room. I’ll go make some tea,” she said as she hurried inside with her child.
Unable to refuse, Leo followed the middle-aged man into the house and sat on the sofa in the living room.
The middle-aged woman soon came out with tea for them, while the middle-aged man chatted with Leo.
Through their conversation, Leo learned some information about the couple.
The middle-aged man was named Rafael Castro and was the owner of a construction company. His wife was named April Reilly.
Their son’s name was Israel Castro.
Knowing Rafael Castro’s identity, Leo had an idea and said, “Mr. Castro, if you insist on thanking me, how about agreeing to one thing?”
Rafael Castro was delighted and quickly said, “Master, please say it. As long as it’s within my power, I will do it without hesitation.”
“It’s not difficult. I have two friends who run an antique shop. If you need any geomancy items for your home, you can get them from her shop at the best prices. Here’s her business card.”
Leo handed over Arlene’s business card.
Rafael Castro took the card with both hands and assured without hesitation, “No problem at all. If I need anything, I’ll definitely buy from your friend!”
After exchanging contact information, Leo took his leave.
Rafael Castro and April Reilly saw him out.
Watching Leo drive away, Rafael Castro sighed, “I never thought we’d be fortunate enough to meet such a master. It was worth our family’s two generations of donations and accumulated good deeds.”
April smiled wryly and said, “I’d rather not have met him if it meant avoiding such a strange experience. I can’t handle such scares.”
Rafael hugged his wife’s shoulders and said guiltily, “It’s all my fault. I almost harmed Israel. I won’t collect antiques anymore.”
Location: West Sea.
On the vast sea surface, seabirds flew and circled in the sky, occasionally revealing a few scattered islands.
Underwater, various marine animals gathered, with whales occasionally surfacing to spout water.
The place was deserted.
Only the sea breeze and an endless clear blue sky were present.
Birds, sea, islands, whales-all in harmony.
That morning, a thunderous explosion suddenly echoed across the sea, heard for hundreds of miles.
In the void above, something seemed to be breaking apart.
As the explosions continued, a massive crack appeared in the blue sky as if space itself was tearing open.
The edges of the crack were dotted with patches of darkness.
The dark patches were unstable, constantly forming and then vanishing.
Only the central part of the crack showed a very light silver color, appearing quite stable.
The crack was enormous, stretching hundreds of feet in length.
As it expanded further, an invisible airflow gushed out like a howling wind towards the sea.
The invisible airflow was pure spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy caused ripples on the sea surface.
Attracted by this energy, more and more fish gathered beneath the surface.
Each fish became more lively and vigorous.
Not only that but on nearby islands, trees became greener and even those that had started to wither began to rejuvenate…
That day after finishing consultations at the clinic with Tian Tian in the morning and having lunch, Arlene called Leo to invite him to a private treasure exhibition party.
Leo thought for a moment and agreed. Since he planned to help the Dan family sisters, he decided to help them thoroughly.
After dinner in the afternoon, Leo drove to Spirit Moon Antiques to pick up Arlene and Christine before heading to the party location.
Since it was a party hosted privately, it took place at the host’s home.
The host was named Karson Ballard, president of Langstel Antique Association.
Arriving at Karson Ballard’s house, Arlene knocked on the door.
An elderly man in his sixties with graying hair opened it.
Karson Ballard welcomed them inside while Arlene briefly introduced Leo to him.
Learning that Leo ran a clinic and was an herbalist doctor surprised Karson Ballard but did not diminish his respect for him.
