In the blink of an eye, it was the second day.
After Zhou Junjun returned home last night, he thought about it himself. After a night of thinking, he seemed to have figured it out.
The next morning, he ran to the private school without eating breakfast.
After Zhou Xiaoli had her breakfast, Landlord Wan came looking for her.
He came personally to invite Zhou Xiaoli, which showed how much he valued her.
Zhou Xiaoli said goodbye to Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan before getting into Landlord Wan’s carriage.
As soon as they boarded the carriage, Zhou Xiaoli said, “Landlord Wan, there’s no need to take a detour to your ancestral grave. Just go straight to your family head’s residence. The problem isn’t with the ancestral grave.”
Landlord Wan was stunned. Although he was suspicious, he did not ask further and instructed the coachman to drive home directly.
Along the way, Landlord Wan asked Zhou Xiaoli some questions about metaphysics from time to time. Zhou Xiaoli also picked some unimportant topics to talk about.
Landlord Wan’s eyes were filled with respect.
“Master Zhou is really amazing. You’re so young, but you had a deep mastery of metaphysics! I didn’t believe it when I heard that you were the expert who helped the mayor’s family move their ancestral grave. Now that I think about it, it was too short-sighted of me.”
Zhou Xiaoli laughed. “You flatter me, Landlord Wan.”
Landlord Wan laughed. “No, no. By the way, who did Master Zhou study under?”
Zhou Xiaoli did not try to hide anything, so she told him the truth.
Landlord Wan’s eyes widened. He was about to stand up when his head hit the roof of the carriage with a bang.
Then, he sat down again. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was too excited! No wonder Master Zhou is so powerful. It turns out that you’re the disciple of the famous Master Yuan ! ”
Then, he laughed. “In that case, there will definitely be no problem for you to help me deal with the problems at home.”
“Master, we’re here.”
Following the coachman’s voice, Zhou Xiaoli was invited out of the carriage by Landlord Wan.
After getting off the carriage, Zhou Xiaoli looked around and fixed her eyes on the residence in front of her. She couldn’t help but frown.
As expected, she was right. The problem was not with the ancestral grave, but with this residence!
Seeing Zhou Xiaoli’s serious expression, Landlord Wan’s heart could not help but pound furiously. He asked carefully, “Master Zhou, is there something wrong with my house?”
Then, he said, “When we built this house back then, my father hired a very powerful Feng Shui master to take a look. We’ve lived here for so long. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any problems.”
Landlord Wan looked puzzled.
Zhou Xiaoli removed her gaze and did not answer Landlord Wan’s question. Instead, she asked, “Landlord Wan, with your main residence as the center, has there been any construction or soil movement in a three-foot-radius area this year?”
Landlord Wan immediately widened his eyes and nodded heavily. “Yes, yes. My second brother suddenly had an idea. He dug and built a lotus pond there.
There was indeed soil movement.”
“That’s right.” Zhou Xiaoli nodded. She immediately understood and said seriously, “Landlord Wan, your family has offended the Five Yellow Fiend!”
Landlord Wan’s expression changed. “Five Yellow Fiend? Is it very serious?” he immediately asked in excitement.
Zhou Xiaoli pursed her lips and explained, “The Five Yellows is known as a poison, a malignant star. It was also known as the Wuji Great Fiend or the Dutian Great Fiend. It is the most ferocious star among the Nine Stars.” “It ruled over all natural disasters and was a rather terrifying constellation.”
“As the constellations are different every year, if one unknowingly moves the soil at the Guansha area of the year, it will definitely bring disaster to the family. At best, the family’s business will fail and wealth would be lost. At worst, the family will suffer a bloody disaster!”
After hearing Zhou Xiaoli’s explanation, Landlord Wan’s face turned pale.
What had happened to his family in the past year confirmed Zhou Xiaoli’s theory.
His lips trembled. After a long time, he barely found his voice. “Master, is there a way to resolve it?”
Zhou Xiaoli nodded. “I do have a way, but it’s a little troublesome.”
Landlord Wan immediately said, “Master, please save my family. I will definitely thank you!”
Zhou Xiaoli smiled. “It’s fine if you don’t thank me. I’m a person who distinguishes between gratitude and grudges. You helped my family yesterday, so it’s considered as me returning the favor. I can’t stand by and do nothing. However, to resolve the Five Yellow Fiend, I need something specific. I also need Landlord Wan to cooperate with me.”
Upon hearing this, Landlord Wan immediately patted his chest. “As long as you can help me settle this, Master, feel free to tell me whatever you want!”
