One of them said, "Last night the master I encountered mentioned that Physician Ding and his wife are reclusive experts. They merely gave us a light punishment last night. If Boss Li continues to offend them, I fear he might eventually suffer misfortune."
The crowd gradually dispersed, but Boss Li inside the Li Mansion was still unable to contain his rage. He deeply resented Wang Mazu for his incompetence and for wasting a perfect opportunity. Now it seemed that this path was no longer viable, and he would have to think of another way.
With a darkened expression, he pondered for a moment before calling out, "Old Zhou!"
An elderly butler quickly appeared before him, his face covered with a sycophantic smile, and respectfully said, "Master, did you call for me?"
"Prepare a generous gift. I must visit Daoist Priest Zhao at Chaotian Temple," he commanded.
"Understood, Master. Shall I make the arrangements right away, or have you set a time?" the butler inquired.
