"More than one person died? What... what do you mean by that?"
Ma Suyuan pressed herself against Duan Chenfeng, looking terrified and eliciting pity.
But her affected demeanor was utterly disgusting to Lin Shuainan and the others.
Duan Chenfeng patted Ma Suyuan's small hand reassuringly, glaring at Ling Feng with a hint of anger. "Everything needs evidence! Can you afford the consequences of speaking nonsense?"
Qingchen Xianshi was even more enraged. These junior disciples were constantly undermining him, forcing his hand!
"This is utter nonsense! This is clearly a feng shui layout suitable for a harmonious home, yet you call it a place of malevolent spirits where lives were lost! Fine, you juniors stay put. Now, this Immortal Master will show you how auspicious this place of descending dragon veins is, and how it prospers wealth!"
With that, Qingchen Xianshi waved his hand, leading the way.
"Mr. Duan, please follow me. Ever since entering this villa, I sensed that your fortune is exceptionally strong, and you are about to receive a considerable windfall!"
"A windfall? Such good fortune?"
Duan Chenfeng showed surprise and curiously followed Qingchen Xianshi. xxs
Ma Suyuan also hurried to keep up, casting a glance at Ling Feng and the others. She was no longer in a hurry to get rid of them; she wanted to see what methods Qingchen Xianshi would use to teach these annoying people a lesson.
"Indeed, Mr. Duan's ability to accumulate such immense wealth is a testament to his innate golden destiny, bringing prosperity! Such windfalls should occur daily!"
"It's just that you lack a master like this Immortal Master to guide you!"
Qingchen Xianshi, while leading Duan Chenfeng and the others into the garden, couldn't resist boasting.
"After all, guiding people to receive unexpected wealth is an act of revealing heavenly secrets, which incurs heavenly retribution!"
"However, today, with these ignorant juniors spouting nonsense, this Immortal Master has no choice but to intervene and show these ignorant juniors what a true master is!"
Seeing Qingchen Xianshi getting more animated, Duan Chenfeng's imposing aura also grew, making him even more curious.
Qingchen Xianshi, holding a compass, began to wander around the garden.
His footsteps were peculiar, and he muttered to himself, giving the impression of a shamanic ritual.
"This is clearly a scam!"
Lin Shuainan grumbled unhappily.
Xiuxiu quickly admonished him, "Shut up! It's all your fault; now we can't even leave!"
Ba Yilan also looked worried. Offending Duan Chenfeng was no trivial matter. It seemed that if necessary, they would have to resort to unconventional means to escape.
Lin Shuainan felt wronged by Xiuxiu's scolding and muttered again, "My family is in the feng shui business. How could I not tell who is a real feng shui master! This old fellow is just a charlatan performing shamanic rituals!"
"Even if he's a charlatan, it has nothing to do with you. If you don't think for yourself, at least consider Elder Bai?"
Xiuxiu pinched Lin Shuainan's waist.
This immediately silenced Lin Shuainan.
Meanwhile, Ling Feng glanced at Lin Shuainan. Previously, Ling Feng had thought Lin Shuainan was bragging when he claimed his family was in the feng shui business.
But now, it seemed Lin Shuainan's words held some truth.
This Qingchen Xianshi was merely a charlatan who had read some of the I Ching, and a rather professional one at that. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to deceive Duan Chenfeng, the richest man.
Qingchen Xianshi's mystical movements finally stopped after two minutes, and he stepped onto the soft edge of a flowerbed.
"Disciples, come here, dig down from here!"
"Yes, Master!"
Several disciples immediately gathered, picking up shovels and starting to dig.
Duan Chenfeng, already impatient with his curiosity, leaned in.
"Qingchen Xianshi, what is buried beneath here?"
Qingchen Xianshi put away his compass, first glanced at Ling Feng and the others, and then said proudly, "A windfall, gold hidden in the earth!"
"Hidden gold? Is there gold in here?"
Ma Suyuan also became interested, asking in a sweet, delicate voice.
"Indeed!"
Qingchen Xianshi adopted the posture of an otherworldly master, uttered two words, and then closed his eyes to rest, saying no more.
Seeing this, Duan Chenfeng quickly stopped his concubine beside him. "Don't disturb the Immortal Master. Revealing heavenly secrets must be incredibly draining!"
Ma Suyuan blinked, then nodded repeatedly. "Mm-hmm, husband, I'll listen to you. Let Qingchen Xianshi rest."
Although Ma Suyuan said this, her eyes held a look of contempt as she gazed at Duan Chenfeng!
This look was subtle, and even Duan Chenfeng didn't notice it.
However, Ling Feng, with his keen senses, caught this look and pondered it.
Thump, thump!
The four disciples had barely dug a few times when their shovels seemed to hit something, and someone immediately exclaimed.
"Master, there's something inside, it looks like a box!"
Qingchen Xianshi maintained his posture of closed-eyed repose, as if he hadn't heard anyone speak!
This behavior made Duan Chenfeng and Ma Suyuan's hearts race with anticipation!
"Quick, quickly dig it out and see what's inside!"
Ma Suyuan urged.
The four disciples didn't hesitate, reaching down to unearth the object from beneath the soil.
"Wow, there really is something!"
Lin Shuainan stared, dumbfounded.
Xiuxiu and Ba Yilan's faces also paled slightly, and they looked at Qingchen Xianshi with a different expression.
They all thought they had provoked a true master.
Even Yang Fei frowned.
"Tian Zun, this place seems to be..."
Before Yang Fei could finish speaking, Ling Feng subtly raised his hand to stop him from continuing.
"Shuainan, come here."
"Huh? Big Brother, what is it?"
Lin Shuainan curiously approached.
Then, Ling Feng whispered a few words into Lin Shuainan's ear. Lin Shuainan's eyes widened, and he instinctively looked towards a corner of the villa's garden.
His eyes immediately lit up.
"Heh heh, so that's how it is! Big Brother, I'll go take a look!"
Lin Shuainan replied smugly and turned to run into the house.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the box that had just been unearthed, and no one noticed Lin Shuainan's actions.
Puff, puff!
Duan Chenfeng crouched down, brushed the dirt off the box, and blew on it a couple of times.
"Mr. Duan, let us open the box. It seems to have a lock!"
A disciple fawned, stepping forward.
As he spoke, he was about to strike it with his shovel!
Duan Chenfeng quickly stopped him. "Hey! Don't hit it!"
"Huh?"
"Looking at the style and the patterns on it, this should be from the late Qing Dynasty. Although it's just folk lacquerware, it's also an antique. It would be a shame to damage it!"
Duan Chenfeng acted with a very professional air.
