Chapter 3: Does the Beauty Need Help?

Inside a taxi.

Chen Yang leaned against the car window, gazing at the towering skyscrapers outside with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

Such a prosperous scene, so familiar, yet it felt like a memory from his past life.

Many people knew him as the once-in-a-millennium genius of Long Hu Mountain, the youngest Celestial Master in its history.

At ten, he ascended the mountain to seek enlightenment.
At twelve, he mastered herbal medicine and advanced medical arts.
At fourteen, he understood the balance of yin and yang, as well as the cosmos and geography.
At fifteen, he became the chief disciple of Long Hu Mountain, able to foresee the future, unravel the past, and determine life, death, fortune, and calamity.
At sixteen, he mastered the art of dragon-seeking and geomancy, stood at the pinnacle of martial arts, and became the supreme master of the occult.
At eighteen, he was conferred the title of Celestial Master.

A dazzling record of achievements, yet who knew the secret buried deep in his heart?

He was originally born into a prestigious family in Yanjing. But ten years ago, several aristocratic families of Yanjing conspired with a mysterious force to ambush the Chen family, leading to the complete annihilation of his clan.

Only he managed to escape, thanks to the desperate efforts of his parents. Fleeing from Yanjing, he was ultimately saved by the old Celestial Master of Long Hu Mountain, who took him in and guided him in his cultivation.

But over the past decade, he had never once forgotten this blood feud.

His master had kicked him down the mountain, partly to get him married.

But more importantly, ten years ago, when he joined Long Hu Mountain, he had sworn an oath.

Ten years later, he would take revenge!

Now, the time had come.

Some matters needed to be settled…

“Gong family, Qin family, He family, Lei family!”

“Back then, you all joined forces to destroy my family. This blood debt, I will make sure you pay in kind!”

Half an hour later.

The taxi pulled up in front of Hui Yue Group.

Chen Yang stepped out and looked up at the towering skyscraper before him. The gloom in his heart vanished instantly, replaced by a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.

“So, this is Third Senior Sister’s Hui Yue Group? Tsk tsk, this place is way more impressive than Long Hu Mountain.”

“No wonder that old geezer kept summoning her back, but she never returned. With a place this nice, why would she go back to that rundown Taoist temple?”

“If I were her, I wouldn’t go back either. Nope, not even if you beat me to death!”

Chen Yang studied the grand building, a grin creeping onto his lips. His Third Senior Sister might not have other remarkable talents, but she sure knew how to make money!

“Senior Sister, your junior brother’s journey this time is all for the great cause of Long Hu Mountain’s eternal dominance.”

“As a disciple of Long Hu Mountain, it’s your duty to contribute to the cause.”

“I won’t ask for much, really. Just give me a casual ten or eight billion, and I’ll be good.”

“After all, as the face of Long Hu Mountain, I need fancy cars, beautiful women, stacks of cash… and most importantly, “status!” Otherwise, it’d be an embarrassment to our sect!”

With that, Chen Yang slung his bag over his shoulder, humming cheerfully as he strutted toward Hui Yue Group.

A “glorious life of luxury”, he could already see it waving at him from ahead!

At this moment, a crowd had gathered in front of the Hui Yue Group building.

Standing at the center of the crowd was a tall, elegantly dressed woman in a professional suit.

She was stunningly beautiful, but her furrowed brows added a touch of coldness to her already striking features.

“Miss Ye, you don’t need to worry. Mr. Wu is the most renowned feng shui master in Jing Hai. With him here, the problem should be resolved soon.”

Beside her stood a refined young man, who spoke with a warm smile.

“Mm, I’ll take that as a good omen from you, President Li.”

Ye Hong Yu nodded slightly and smiled faintly. “Speaking of which, I must thank you, President Li, for your help. Master Wu isn’t someone easy to invite.”

Seeing that smile, Li Ang’s heart skipped a beat. He felt that “any price would be worth it just to make this woman smile.”

“I must have her!”

A dark desire surged within Li Ang, almost consuming him, but on the surface, he remained gentle and composed. “Miss Ye, you’re too polite. We’re business partners, if Hui Yue Group is in trouble, I’d naturally step up without hesitation.”

“Of course, if you really want to thank me, Miss Ye, you could treat me to dinner sometime.”

Turning to glance at Ye Hong Yu’s exquisite side profile, Li Ang half-joked, half-serious.

“Of course.”

Ye Hong Yu responded calmly.

At this moment, an elderly man dressed in a black robe, holding a “Luo Pan” (feng shui compass), approached with a deep frown.

His expression was grim.

Li Ang greeted him with a smile. “Master Wu, how is it? Is the issue resolved?”

Wu Shan He was known for his arrogance, but he had close ties with the Li family, which was why Li Ang had managed to invite him.

At Li Ang’s question, Wu Shan He let out a cold snort. “If you don’t want to die, stay away from this place from now on!”

Hearing this, both Ye Hong Yu and Li Ang’s expressions changed drastically.

For the past few days, Hui Yue Group had been plagued by misfortunes, even a major overseas project had been lost, and numerous other ventures were running into constant problems.

They hadn’t expected feng shui to be the root cause!

Although Ye Hong Yu was a disciple of Long Hu Mountain and a business genius, she was clueless when it came to cultivation and feng shui, she had no way of detecting these issues herself.

She immediately asked anxiously, “Master Wu, what do you mean? Please explain clearly.”

Wu Shan He snorted. “Was I not clear enough? This place has become a land of “malicious energy”, it’s no longer suitable for human habitation. If you stay here any longer, it will lead to disaster and death.”

The moment these words fell, everyone’s face turned pale with fear.

“How is that possible?”

Ye Hong Yu frowned in disbelief. “This land was chosen by Daoist Zhang Xuan Zhen of Qing Yun Temple. He said it was a “feng shui treasure”, how could it be a cursed place?”

Wu Shan He glanced at her and said indifferently, “Originally, this land was backed by a mountain and faced an open plain, a prime location for gathering wealth. Building a company here would have certainly led to prosperity. Back then, it was indeed a feng shui treasure.”

“But, there are major flaws in the northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest directions.”

“Before Hui Yue Group was built, these flaws weren’t obvious.”

“But now that the building stands tall, these flaws have been amplified exponentially, disrupting the feng shui pattern.”

“As a result, this place has transformed into a land of extreme misfortune.”

“Of course, the reason this place has become extremely inauspicious is that the land where Hui Yue Group was built used to be an execution ground for criminals, the aura of death here is overwhelming.”

“In the past, the mountain behind was able to suppress the negative energy. But now that Hui Yue Tower has been built here, the mountain has become the backing of the building. The suppressing force is gone, and the malevolent energy has long since run rampant.”

“Therefore, staying here any longer is a sure path to death!”

Hearing this, the crowd was instantly paralyzed with fear. Even Li Ang felt his scalp tingle.

As much as he liked Ye Hong Yu, he certainly didn’t want to lose his life over this!

Ye Hong Yu frowned deeply and quickly asked, “Master Wu, is there any way to resolve this?”

“If this had been discovered earlier, there might have been a way. But now, it’s too late!”

Wu Shan He pointed at Hui Yue Tower. “Do you see? The entire building is shaped in an arc, trapping the malevolent energy inside. With no way for it to dissipate, the negative energy has already completely saturated Hui Yue Group.”

“Right now, you’re all basically living inside a sealed coffin. Do you think there’s still a solution?”

“If you don’t want to meet a terrible fate, then move out as soon as possible!”

Upon hearing this, everyone broke out in goosebumps, a chilling fear ran through them.

“President Ye… I, I don’t want to die! I quit!”

“President Ye, we should relocate immediately!”

“Yes! President Ye, for the sake of Hui Yue Group, please reconsider!”

One by one, the employees of Hui Yue Group were terrified beyond belief.

Even Li Ang subtly took two steps back, putting some distance between himself and Ye Hong Yu. The smile on his face grew stiff.

“Miss Ye, since Master Wu has already said so, we should move out first.”

“As it happens, I own a brand-new office building in the city center. Hui Yue Group can temporarily use it.”

Ye Hong Yu listened to the panic in everyone’s voices, her face turning pale.

“Relocate? That wasn’t so simple!”

If they moved, the entire company’s morale would collapse.

Just then, “Hello there, beautiful, need some help?”

A slightly playful voice rang out, shattering the tense atmosphere.

“I, a Celestial Master, know the heavens above and the earth below. My services may be a bit pricey, but no matter your worries, problems, or worldly troubles, I can solve them all with ease!”

“When a Celestial Master takes action, you know you’re in good hands!”

Everyone turned their heads at once.

What they saw was a young man in worn-out sportswear walking toward them.

A “huge duffel bag” was slung over his shoulder, and in his hand was half a sesame flat bread that he hadn’t finished eating.

By all appearances, he looked just like “a migrant worker” who had just arrived in the city.
