After everything was ready, the two of them quickly ate some lunch and then took a flight to Hong Kong.
The plane landed as it was getting dark. As soon as they got out of the airport, they saw a girl in a red dress waving at them from a distance.
"Sister Luan, you're finally here. I've been waiting for almost an hour," the girl said, running over and taking Luan Jiping's hand.
Luan Jiping introduced the girl to Long Xiao. The girl looked at Long Xiao, extended her hand, and said, "Hello, my name is Huo Tianyi."
The girl was about twenty-four or twenty-five, with a delicate face and a sweet voice. Her small hands were boneless and slightly cool to the touch.
The moment Long Xiao touched the girl, he knew she had a cold uterus condition, otherwise, parts of her hands wouldn't be so cold.
If it were in the past, Long Xiao would have said it directly. Since obtaining the "Dragon Scripture," Long Xiao had experienced too much; he was no longer the impulsive young man he once was.
Long Xiao smiled nonchalantly, shook hands with Huo Tianyi, and they followed her to the parking lot.
The driver was a spirited young man, not very tall, and spoke politely.
After getting into the car, Long Xiao asked, "Sister, is it Miss Huo's father who is ill, or someone else?"
Luan Jiping looked at Huo Tianyi and said, "It's Tianyi's father who is ill. This illness is rather strange. We can talk about it when we get to her home."
Since Luan Jiping didn't elaborate, there must have been a reason. Long Xiao didn't ask further.
The Huo family villa was located halfway up a small hill. Surrounded by mountains, it was a place that embraced the wind and gathered Qi, a very good geographical environment.
The villa was lush with plants, exuding a strong vitality. As the car drove into the villa, Long Xiao felt very comfortable.
The west mountains of Donghai City were also densely wooded, but Long Xiao didn't feel this way. He only felt some vitality when he was cultivating.
"This is truly a feng shui treasure land!" Long Xiao said with a smile as he got out of the car and looked around.
"Does Divine Doctor Long understand feng shui?" Huo Tianyi asked.
Long Xiao nodded slightly and said, "I learned a little when I was young."
The three of them entered the living room. Long Xiao didn't see Huo Tianyi's father, nor any other members of the Huo family.
Long Xiao found out by asking that this villa was one that the Huo family hadn't used for many years. To facilitate his reception, they had specifically arranged for him to stay here.
After a servant brought tea and left, Luan Jiping said, "Brother, Tianyi's father seems to have encountered something unclean, and she suspects foul play, which is why she invited you to take a look."
"Miss Huo, can you explain in detail?" Long Xiao asked.
Huo Tianyi nodded and began to tell Long Xiao in detail.
A little more than half a month ago, a piece of land in Repulse Bay was up for auction. Several major real estate developers in Hong Kong were interested. Although the real estate industry was not the Huo family's main business, due to the booming real estate market in recent years, the Huo family's real estate business had also been expanding year by year.
Huo Tianyi's grandfather had ordered her father to do everything he could to acquire that piece of land.
While the real estate auctions in Hong Kong appeared to be calm on the surface, there were actually many underhanded tactics among the major developers. Threats, bribery, even assassination and arson – anything could happen.
After deciding to participate in the auction, Huo Tianyi's father, Huo Zhen, sent people everywhere to gather information, strengthen internal management, and protect themselves.
Three days before the auction, two feng shui masters suddenly arrived in Hong Kong. These two individuals were highly skilled and far surpassed the feng shui masters in Hong Kong.
Elites from all walks of life wanted to invite the two feng shui masters to their homes for a visit, and Huo Zhen was no exception.
The night before the land auction, Huo Zhen invited the two feng shui masters, had dinner with them at his villa, and the two helped to rearrange the feng shui.
The next day at the auction, Huo Zhen successfully acquired the land. Some of his opponents inexplicably withdrew, while others suddenly developed health problems.
Huo Zhen was overjoyed to get the land. That afternoon, he took several relevant staff members to inspect the land. Unexpectedly, late that night, there was a scream.
Servants and Huo family members rushed to Huo Zhen's room and found countless wounds on his body, as if he had been cut by countless tiny blades.
He was sent to the hospital, his body was covered in medicine, and the wounds, though not deep, healed within a few days.
The police investigated for several days without any results. Feng shui masters were invited to the house but found nothing unusual.
After everything calmed down, Huo Zhen was discharged from the hospital two days ago. Unexpectedly, the same thing happened again that night.
The villa was equipped with hundreds of surveillance cameras, but all of them were intact at the time of the incident and captured nothing.
"Miss Huo, do you have any photos of your father's wounds?" Long Xiao asked.
Huo Tianyi took out her phone and showed Long Xiao photos of the wounds.
The photos were gory. The tiny wounds indeed looked like they were cut by blades, very neat, with consistent length and depth.
"This is clearly not man-made. I feel like there's some kind of energy trying to emerge from your father's body, and these wounds are as if they were cut from the inside," Long Xiao said.
Huo Tianyi and Luan Jiping looked closely at the photos and also felt what Long Xiao described.
"Brother, how could this happen? Does Old Mr. Huo have some special energy within him?"
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Old Mr. Huo has too much metal Qi in his body, which, triggered by some factor, suddenly erupted."
"Divine Doctor Long, are those two feng shui masters problematic?" Huo Tianyi asked.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "They are definitely problematic. Not only those two feng shui masters, but that piece of land also has issues. It's possible that your father's opponents are setting a trap to kill him."
"A feng shui formation?" Huo Tianyi exclaimed.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "This formation is very grand, and feng shui is only one part of it. I suspect that the real estate developers in Hong Kong are all involved."
"The real estate developers are setting a trap to kill my father? Why would they do that?" Huo Tianyi asked, puzzled.
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't know the reason either. These are all speculations and require further verification."
"Divine Doctor Long, what about my father's wounds? If it happens again, he might bleed to death." Huo Tianyi said worriedly.
"Your father should be fine for now. The interval between his two occurrences of wounds was eight days. This time it should be four days."
"My father had the incident yesterday, meaning my father has two days left until the next occurrence of wounds?" Huo Tianyi asked.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, two days. That should be enough. I guarantee your father will be fine."
With Long Xiao's assurance, Huo Tianyi felt much better. The Huo and Luan families had a friendship spanning a hundred years, and Huo Tianyi and Luan Jiping were good friends. She trusted the person introduced by Luan Jiping.
After arranging rooms for Long Xiao and Luan Jiping, Huo Tianyi took Long Xiao and Luan Jiping to a distinctive restaurant in Hong Kong for dinner that evening.
As the dishes were just being served, the sound of footsteps approached. Long Xiao looked up and saw a young man in a light purple suit with dyed yellow hair, leading a few subordinates, walking towards them.
