Xu Yanran was taken aback. Did this guy really guess correctly?
Chen Xiao pondered for a mont and asked, "When was this feng shui arrangent set up?"
"Twenty years ago, the sa year Biyun was born."
"Biyun... from birth, she didn’t cry or make a fuss, and dical check-ups showed nothing wrong. A fortune teller later said she was born with a malignant aura, so I had an expert set up a feng shui arrangent, hoping she could grow up happy and healthy like other children.
"After the arrangent was in place, the Li Family was stable and things went smoothly, but Biyun never spoke... until two months ago, when our family started experiencing minor accidents. We invited a feng shui master to take a look, but he said that while the arrangent had already failed, he didn’t dare tamper with it, as it could bring disaster upon our family!"
Chen Xiao nodded. "That man has a conscience; he didn’t con your family. Otherwise, once the feng shui backfires, the Li Family would face not minor troubles but a major calamity!"
Li Xinghu’s brow furrowed deeply. He took a puff from his pipe to suppress his thoughts and then asked, "But the feng shui master who set it up has long since passed away, so breaking this arrangent won’t be easy!"
This feng shui arrangent now hung over their heads like a knife, and Li Xinghu was truly anxious. The fact that Chen Xiao had pinpointed the issue with their family’s feng shui on sight made Li Xinghu take him seriously, and his tone gradually beca more respectful.
"Young Master Chen, since you could identify the problem at a glance, you must have a way to dispel it, right? I’d be so bold as to ask for your help. Should you succeed, there will be a substantial reward."
Chen Xiao pondered for a mont. "Let have a look first. Show around."
"This feng shui arrangent includes many of the previous master’s personal touches. I need to observe it carefully before I can fully resolve it."
"You make it sound so real..." Xu Yanran curled her lip, her face filled with disdain.
Chen Xiao shot her a cold glance. "Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand. Haven’t you noticed you’ve been feeling a bit cold ever since we entered the Li Family ho? That’s the result of baleful energy gathering. If a person lives in such an environnt for an extended period, they will develop many health problems, and their luck will turn sour, leading to various accidents. The study of feng shui has been passed down for thousands of years. Do you think it’s all just for fun?"
Xu Yanran snorted coldly. This guy might fool Li Xinghu, but he won’t fool ! She had never believed in ghosts or spirits; in her view, it was all superstition.
anwhile, Li Biyun’s innocent, wide eyes lingered on Chen Xiao, brimming with curiosity. This young man, so close to her in age, had a peculiar aura that made her want to get closer and understand him. But soon, a touch of sadness flickered through her eyes. Who would want to be friends with a mute? She could only ever follow behind her family like a shadow to avoid being bullied.
Excitent showed on Li Xinghu’s normally composed face. "If you take action, Young Master Chen, how sure are you of success?"
"Ninety percent," Chen Xiao said. He had been about to say one hundred percent, but he swallowed the words back.
"Big talk!" Xu Yanran smiled contemptuously. "None of those so-called feng shui masters dare to boast like you do!"
"That’s because they aren’t skilled enough," Chen Xiao said calmly. "I like to call it as I see it."
A look of admiration flashed across Li Xinghu’s face. "Good! You have courage indeed." He found himself appreciating the young man more and more. Coming from a military background, he had a straightforward temperant and disliked pretentious formalities. "What are your thoughts, Young Master Chen?"
"Take to have a look," Chen Xiao said with a frown. "I want to see the specific layout."
"Sure." Li Xinghu then led Chen Xiao on a tour of the large family estate.
In the end, they unearthed several blackened Talisman Inscriptions, all signs that the feng shui had shifted and baleful energy had converged.
Xu Yanran finally shut her mouth completely. This guy really knows his stuff when it cos to these mystical practices. If I speak again, I’ll only humiliate myself.
Lu Wushuang marveled at the rapid progress of Chen Xiao’s secret feng shui techniques. As for Li Biyun, her gaze was now filled with admiration, and her curiosity about this "big brother" grew.
Chen Xiao’s brows gradually furrowed.
"This feng shui formation has failed, and it’s backfiring on the Li Family. We must break it imdiately. My thod is to lay another feng shui formation to suppress the Celestial Demon-Subduing Array. Then, the feng shui of the Li Family can return to normal."
Upon hearing this, Li Xinghu nodded repeatedly and said with so urgency, "Then I’ll have to trouble you, Young Master Chen."
Chen Xiao’s display had completely won him over. From now on, he would do whatever Chen Xiao said.
"Buy four white tiger statues and place them in the four corners of the mansion. Set up a rockery next to the pavilion. Also, that wall needs to be torn down to let positive qi enter from the east and dissipate the baleful qi. Lastly, if I’m not mistaken, the Li Family must have a place for ancestral graves?"
"That’s... that’s right. It’s on the mountain behind our estate."
"Ancestral tombs are ’yin residences,’ while the hos of the living are ’yang residences.’ Your family estate is too close to the ancestral tombs, so it has naturally absorbed so of their energy. That is the root of the problem. Find an auspicious day and relocate them."
"There are no other issues," Chen Xiao concluded.
Li Xinghu nodded repeatedly and waved to an old steward in the distance. "Did you write down everything Mr. Chen just said? Arrange everything according to his instructions."
After giving his instructions, Chen Xiao looked at Li Xinghu with a smile. "Elder Li, do you now believe that I have the ability to restore your granddaughter’s health?"
Li Xinghu’s old face turned red. "Of course, of course. I have always believed that Young Master Chen is a capable man. It’s just that my little granddaughter is a bit shy... She was bullied by a boy when she was young, and as a result, she has been quite averse to n ever since..." His expression grew solemn as he looked towards Li Biyun. "Biyun, are you willing to let Mr. Chen treat you?"
Xu Yanran scoffed, "Chen Xiao, with that sleazy look of yours, Biyun definitely won’t agree to any contact with you, so don’t even dream about it! Who knows what indecent acts you might commit when you’re alone with her?"
"That just proves Miss Li has what it takes to make a man misbehave, unlike so people who offer themselves up and are still rejected," Chen Xiao said with a smirk.
Xu Yanran’s face stiffened as she rembered what had happened outside the Jianghai Gang headquarters that night, and she clenched her teeth in anger. Chen Xiao is clearly mocking , insinuating that I was the one who threw myself at soone who didn’t want !
"Sour grapes. How amusing," she muttered before falling silent.
All eyes fell expectantly on Li Biyun. A look of conflict flickered across her pretty face before, after a mont, she nodded!
"She agreed?"
Both Li Xinghu and Xu Yanran were incredulous. They knew Li Biyun better than anyone. Ever since that incident, she had developed a fear of n and refused to be alone with any man other than her closest relatives. They never expected that she would actually agree to let Chen Xiao treat her.
Chen Xiao smiled faintly. "Good! Old Master Li, we have a deal then. Once I cure Miss Li, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Fruit is mine!"
