Chapter 217: Celestial Master Hu Youdao

"Hehehe, to think you actually got kicked out of the family! This is truly the biggest news in the history of the Ye family!

"Don’t blame my dad either. If Grandpa hadn’t agreed, do you think my dad could have chased you out?

"You probably don’t even know, do you? I was eavesdropping outside earlier. Something about a security guard and some guy named Thomas caused my dad a direct loss of four hundred million USD.

"Plus, I heard he had to pay out a lot of compensation, all covered by Grandpa!

"Now I’m really curious about that security guard. Isn’t he way too awesome?

"Ye Ziqiu, hooking up with a man and plunging your own family into a desperate crisis—you’re definitely the first to do it."

The harsh and cutting words pierced Ye Ziqiu’s heart like a knife. At this moment, Ye Zisu was the epitome of someone who kicked a person when they were down. Ye Ziqiu had already fallen into a well, yet she was still throwing stones down after her. This woman was truly rotten to the core.

Ye Ziqiu had always ignored Ye Zisu’s words, and she did the exact same now. With a hint of stubbornness and defiance, she stuffed her clothes into her suitcase, turned around, and walked out, dragging it behind her!

Ye Zisu curled her lips and immediately closed the bedroom door. From this moment on, she was going to completely take over this place!

When Ye Ziqiu carried her suitcase downstairs, one of Ye Yuanhang’s bodyguards tried to take it from her. However, she stubbornly pulled it closer to herself and strode out the door. Ye Yuanhang stood up and followed her, and the driver opened the car door.

But when Ye Ziqiu walked past Ye Yuanhang’s Lincoln, she completely ignored it and calmly walked by.

"Ziqiu, get in. I’ll take you to a hotel!"

No matter how much Ye Yuanhang disliked her, he still had to settle her into a decent hotel. Otherwise, it would be far too inhumane.

However, Ye Ziqiu said coldly, "I won’t trouble you, Chairman Ye. From today onward, I, Ye Ziqiu, have nothing to do with the Ye family!"

"You..." Ye Yuanhang pointed at her, trembling with anger. "Fine, then you can walk on your own! We’re leaving!"

Furious, Ye Yuanhang refused to even look at her and ordered the driver to speed away.

Ye Ziqiu was left walking alone down the pitch-black suburban highway. This was the suburbs. As seen in movies from Migu Country, their suburbs were actually sparsely populated, unlike the urban-rural fringes back home which at least had streetlights. Here, there was absolutely nothing. There were only the distant city lights and the pitch-black night.

Ye Ziqiu had a very stubborn temper. Aside from crying when her uncle told her to leave, she hadn’t shed a single tear since. She felt it wasn’t worth it. These people didn’t deserve a single tear from her.

At some point, she sprained her ankle, but she continued limping toward the illuminated city in the distance.

A car approached on the road, its headlights casting her long, thin silhouette from afar. The vehicle drove past her, but a moment later, it slowly stopped and began reversing.

Southeast Asia, Malaysia.

Sen Meilan was a state in Malaysia, and the Datuk of this state was of mixed heritage. His father was of Chinese descent, and his mother was Malaysian. However, his mother was merely one of this Chinese man’s many wives.

Hu Xian was the Datuk’s name, as he happened to take on his father’s Chinese surname, Hu.

Hu Youdao was a highly influential figure in Malaysia, and most importantly, he was a first-generation immigrant. There were many ethnic Chinese in Malaysia, but most of them had been there for generations. Some had immigrated during the late Qing Dynasty, though the majority arrived in the 1950s and 1960s. However, despite being a later immigrant, Hu Youdao had flourished in Malaysia.

This was because Hu Youdao was a master.

How should one put it... for instance, even the highly famous White Dragon King of Thailand had to address him as Martial Uncle and perform a kneeling bow upon seeing him! Therefore, Hu Youdao possessed true abilities.

It was widely known that Witchcraft and Evil Techniques were prevalent in Southeast Asia, and the locals were deeply superstitious. Unexplainable supernatural phenomena were also incredibly common. Hu Youdao was a living encyclopedia, or rather, he was a living Celestial Master!

Indeed, the locals called him Celestial Master Hu.

He could catch ghosts, capture demons, exorcise evil spirits, cure diseases, read fortunes, assess Feng Shui, oversee burials, and was an absolute expert in Yin, Yang, the Eight Trigrams, and the Five Elements! Moreover, the number of dignitaries and aristocrats he had cured was simply innumerable. Even his son Hu Xian’s position as Datuk had been orchestrated by him!

Thus, he was the true power behind the throne in Sen Meilan, an honored guest of the Malay King, and a mentor to numerous key military officials and politicians. He frequently provided guidance and pointed many people in the right direction.

In Malaysia, Hu Youdao lived a life like an Immortal. He had married seven wives alone. Even though he was getting on in years and nearing seventy, he could still walk briskly, not to mention his ability to spend nights with multiple women! And this ability of his was no exaggeration, as many people sought him out for prescriptions and remedies!

While enjoying the cool morning breeze, sixty-six-year-old Hu Youdao received a call from his junior martial brother, Yu Feiyu—a call for help!
