My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!
Chapter 886 - 889: Hu Banxian

Chapter 886: Chapter 889: Hu Banxian

Tan Zhenghong had left, but Qiao Duo’er was not bored at all, for this year was destined to be an eventful autumn.

The first visitor was from the Xu Clan, who always remembered Duo’er’s words.

Today, the self-proclaimed Divine Doctor, Hu Banxian, came around again, and she straightforwardly lured him over.

The whole process hardly took any effort, she merely mentioned that the village’s wealthy family wanted to request a great person to pray for blessings, and Hu Banxian couldn’t wait to follow her.

"Master, this is the place, please wait a moment," said Mrs. Xu with a smile that was not quite a smile.

The more she looked at him now, the more she felt he was a scam artist.

If he truly were a Divine Doctor, why would he abandon patients who are seriously ill to pray for blessings for others?

Mrs. Xu had an answer bursting to come out, but years of belief still made her suppress this speculation.

Hu Banxian acted the part as he saluted, "It is but a small effort for the host to make the introduction; removing disasters for others is also accumulating virtue and goodness, which is beneficial for your young master’s illness."

Mrs. Xu didn’t speak further but knocked on the door instead.

Almond opened the door, and Mrs. Xu quickly gestured with her eyes, "Last time, Mrs. Tan told me she was looking for someone to pray for dispelling misfortunes. Just so happens, I know a master and brought him to see Madam."

"Please come in, Madam is in the main hall."

Almond was very cooperative, seeming to be highly respectful of the suddenly appearing sorcerer.

Once inside, Mrs. Xu declared, "Madam, this is the master I mentioned to you."

Qiao Duo scanned the person in the Taoist robe and immediately labeled him as a Jianghu Sorcerer.

She admitted that some sorcerers had some skills, but this one... was definitely a total quack.

To make a living, one must at least have the low-key shrewdness of Master Yun Xu, and have some principles, knowing which people should not be deceived.

But since he had come, she decided to tease him a bit.

Qiao Duo asked languidly, "Tell me, what skills do you possess?"

"This humble Taoist can remove disasters and solve difficulties for people, pray for blessings and peace; as long as Madam requires, this humble Taoist can help Madam achieve it," said Hu Banxian as he stroked his half-white beard.

Looking at the house of this family, swindling a few dozen taels of silver seemed easy.

Qiao Duo pondered for a moment, "You mean to say, as long as I give you silver, you can do anything?"

Hu Banxian spoke modestly, "Madam jests. This humble Taoist is a monk; wealth is but an external object to us. Whatever your request, this humble Taoist will do his utmost to fulfill it. If you are satisfied, just reward me with something to eat."

"We are a poor family, do you think these copper coins are enough?"

From her purse, Qiao Duo took out five wen money, arranging them one by one on the table.

As a person of religious practice should not touch meat or fish, this should be enough for him to have a meal.

The corner of the mouth of the self-proclaimed semi-immortal twitched; it was a total of five wen money, was she not just messing with him?

Was she not afraid of insulting the deities?

Or was this woman simply aiming to disrupt his act?

Almond, right on cue, said, "Madam, it seems the master finds it too little, why don’t you add a little more?"

"No... it’s not that, any amount is a token of heart, may I ask if Madam has anything she wants this humble Taoist to help with?" Hu Banxian hastily shook his head.

Some things are understood without being said, like needing silver, for instance.

Qiao Duo felt amused internally, but maintained a serious demeanor as she asked, "I have another question for you."

"Please ask," Hu Banxian was very respectful.

Really, he felt the urge to leave, yet he was not willing to let the duck at his mouth fly away.

Without any hesitation, Qiao Duo threw the question out, "You mean to say the Yuan Family Kid knocked over the Supreme Old Lord’s Alchemy Furnace?"
