    Chapter Index

    In the realm of mystic arts, divination and array formation are the most challenging. A well-crafted array has the power to defy fate and even vanquish demons.

    Mu Rongshan, after forty years of diligent practice, would never believe that a young upstart could surpass him in this field!

    "Brother Mu speaks wisely," Zhang Shikai said, gesturing for his disciple to serve another cup of tea. "Tomorrow, we must humble our young friend Chu and make her understand that there are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people."

    "In the art of Qi Men Dun Jia, each of us has our own expertise. One should not underestimate us seniors just because they know how to divine."

    Chapter 150

    As the night passed.

    The sky gradually began to brighten.

    A thin mist rose from the ravine, accompanied by the chirping of birds. A golden ray of sunlight pierced through the fog, illuminating the standalone villa.

    In the front yard, a clear swimming pool shimmered under the sun's rays, casting a glistening golden glow on its turquoise surface. The backyard garden was filled with blossoming flowers.

    Chu Yuening woke up early and pushed open the window of her bedroom.

    A gentle breeze, carrying the scent of damp earth from the mountains, wafted in.

    Today, they were to film a feng shui program.

    Recalling the feng shui formations Wei Yanlin had recently studied, she picked up the brick-sized mobile phone on the large desk in her bedroom and dialed the feng shui shop's number.

    After briefly explaining the situation, Wei Yanlin readily agreed without hesitation. He put up a "closed for business" sign outside the shop, and they arranged to meet at a designated spot.

    "Sis!"

    An eager voice interrupted the conversation, and Chu Yuening hung up the phone, turning her head.

    The bedroom door was pushed open, revealing a girl with two large dark circles under her eyes, dressed in her school uniform, with her bag slung over one shoulder, and a piece of toast in her mouth as she peeked in.

    Last night, Chu Yi was quite exhilarated. There were six rooms in total, both upstairs and downstairs. After much deliberation, she eventually settled on the room next door.

    Pretextually, he couldn't bear to be apart from his sister.

    As a result, I was so exhilarated by the first night in the luxurious mansion that I ended up losing sleep.

    Chu Yi held a slice of toast in her mouth, chuckling. "Big Sister, I'm going to school. There's ingredients in the fridge, so remember to eat the toasted bread. Don't skip breakfast."

    She had previously noticed that sometimes, her sister would head straight to Temple Street without having breakfast.

    Health was a big deal, and skipping breakfast could lead to problems. She wouldn't allow it.

    "Wait a moment, I'll go down with you." Chu Yuening opened her wardrobe, preparing to change out of her loungewear and descend the mountain together.

    Chu Yi shook her head, declining the offer. With the toast in her hand, she smiled coquettishly. "Big Sister, I've grown up. I'm not a three-year-old girl anymore. Yesterday, I studied the route to school carefully. There's a city bus down there that can take me right to the school gate. Even if there's no city bus, I can always take a taxi."

    "Big Sister still needs to go to Temple Street. It would waste too much time if I send you. You can focus on your own matters, don't worry about me."

    Chu Yuening considered this seriously before nodding. "You can take the city bus for the next two days. When I have time, we'll go to the car dealership to pick out a sedan."

    Without a vehicle, the trip from the mountain to Temple Street would take almost an hour. It was really inconvenient.

    "Alright." Chu Yi patted the spot in her backpack where she kept her money, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling with mischievous laughter. "I'll definitely sponsor it."

    With that, Chu Yi bit into her toast, waved, and skipped downstairs. As soon as she opened the door, she was met with a large crowd outside.

    She jumped in surprise. 5② Four 9 Ling 8192

    The man at the forefront was dressed in a tailored suit, his expression calm and composed. Though his short hair had turned quite gray, he still radiated vitality. Beside him stood a lady in an exquisite cheongsam, her hair piled high, with delicate jade earrings adorning her ears.

    Wan Cheng was also waiting nearby. Early that morning, he received a call from Old Master Qiao, informing him of the visit to the master. He had made every possible arrangement for the occasion.

    "Mr. Wan."

    "Miss Chu Yi," Wan Cheng smiled, casting his gaze towards the mansion. The door was slightly ajar, through which a glimpse of the pebbled path leading to the villa could be seen.

    "May I ask if Master Chu has awoken?"

    They had been waiting outside for some time, hesitant to disturb Master Chu's rest and thus refrained from making any noise.

    "He's up," Chu Yi replied, chewing on her toast as she turned to shout inside.

    Qiao Tianxin looked at the young girl with a friendly smile. "You're Master Chu's sister?"

    Chu Yi blinked, recognizing the middle-aged man before her. "Yes, I'm in a rush to get to school. I won't be able to accompany you all now."

    Qiao Tianxin glanced around, "Miss Chu Yi, how do you usually travel?"

    "By city bus down the mountain," Chu Yi patted her backpack. "Come on, let's go."

    Qiao Tianxin turned to the driver and said solemnly, "It was my oversight. Ah Jun, you will escort Miss Chu Yi to school."

    "Yes, sir," the driver acknowledged, then accompanied Chu Yi as they left.

    Mrs. Qiao looked at the ten servants she had brought along, worry flickering in her tranquil eyes. "I did say that when delivering a house to Master Chu Da, everything must be arranged meticulously. We must not show any disrespect to the Master."

    "Fortunately, I sensed something was off."

    Mrs. Qiao had already felt uneasy the previous night. How could they manage a mansion without any workers? Thus, early in the morning, she arrived with a carefully selected team of laborers.

    Without Chu Yuening's approval, both Qiao Tianxin and Wan Cheng stood motionless outside the residence.

    These two former tycoons, who once dominated the Hong Kong business arena and valued time down to the minute, now waited patiently in silence.

    Who could claim to have witnessed such a scene before?

    Not far away, two paparazzi were crouched behind a bush.

    They looked utterly bewildered, both putting down their cameras to rub their eyes in disbelief, then exchanging glances with each other.

    They had received a tip and deliberately staked out the owner of the Clear Wind Mansion.

    Little did they expect to stumble upon such an unexpected sight.
