Xia Dongliu took a step forward, a look of embarrassment on his face, "Little master, just now it was our lack of recognition, we hope the little master won't take offense."
"Beihai, hurry and fetch a chair for the little master, Nianbing, go and make some tea for the little master."
Xia Beihai quickly fetched a chair and placed it behind Yin Tian, and then, wearing a flattering expression, said, "Little Immortal Master, could you take a look at what we should do about this?"
Even Xia Nianbing brought over tea, looking at Yin Tian with a surprised face.
The attitude was a world apart from before!
Yin Tian wasn't being pretentious, and did some quick calculations with his hands.
Then he furrowed his brows, "Your family's Feng Shui was broken a month ago. Originally, your Xia Family's Feng Shui array was the 'Qingyun Lianyun Array', which is one of the thirty-six auspicious arrays of Yang houses."
"But a month ago, the Feng Shui array was destroyed, turning from the Qingyun Lianyun into the 'Withered Lotus Ruined Gold Array'. Your Feng Shui fortunes plummeted dramatically, all sorts of malevolent forces came knocking, and that's why you've been experiencing so many health issues."
"Little master, this Withered Lotus Ruined Gold Array... what does it mean?" Xia Dongliu furrowed his brows, looking at Yin Tian as he asked.
Yin Tian explained, "The Qingyun Lianyun Array, leads one to soar like a dragon. The Withered Lotus Ruined Gold Array, disrupts kinship and dissipates fortunes."
"The Withered Lotus Ruined Gold Array signifies a withered lotus leaf, hanging by a thread, and then comes a sickle cutting down life, dangers piling upon dangers!"
"Under this Feng Shui array, at most in half a year, the Xia Family will be ruined and its people perished."
Hearing Yin Tian's words, the Xia Family members instantly felt a chill down their spines.
"How should we break this array?" Xia Nianbing looked at Yin Tian and asked.
"Breaking it isn't difficult. To set up the Withered Lotus Ruined Gold Array, three things are essential: 'Dog Blood Axe', 'Withered Leaf Branch', and 'Misfortune Talisman'. If I am not mistaken, these three items are all within your room," Yin Tian said, looking at Xia Beihai.
Xia Beihai was stunned for a moment, looking at Yin Tian, "Why would they be in my room?"
"Because you are of the Xia Family bloodline and your body is weak; starting with you is the easiest."
Xia Beihai's mouth twitched in distress, "I'll go check my room right now."
Having said that, Xia Beihai immediately turned and ran toward the outside.
Yin Tian and the father-daughter pair of the Xia Family were left behind, and the scene became somewhat awkward for a moment.
"Uncle Xia, we're here." A young and an old figure walked in from outside the courtyard.
The elder was dressed in a Taoist robe, appearing to have an air of celestial grace about him.
The younger man was in a suit, looking incredibly handsome.
Xia Dongliu's expression turned awkward, he coughed, and then addressed Xia Nianbing and Yin Tian.
"Yang Yun said he knew a Feng Shui Master, so I asked him to come take a look..." As he said this, Xia Dongliu's voice got lower, with a somewhat embarrassed look towards Yin Tian.
But Yin Tian clearly didn't care, having already successfully broken off the engagement, and now he just wanted to sever his ties with the Xia Family.
Just then, Yang Yun arrived with the Taoist.
The Taoist cheerfully said to Xia Dongliu, "Congratulations to Mr. Xia, I offer my congratulations!"
Xia Dongliu was taken aback, "Congratulations for what?"
The Taoist stroked his beard, his head swaying from side to side, "Why, it is to congratulate Mr. Xia, for your residence has unparalleled Feng Shui, truly a superior and peerless Feng Shui abode!"
Silence.
As the Taoist said these words, the whole Xia Family quieted down again!
Xia Donghai first looked at Yin Tian, then turned his eyes toward the Taoist: "Oh?"
The Taoist continued to shake his head and sway, "Six Ding and Six Jia stand in opposition, the clouds part for the heavenly dragon without startling the people. The Xia Family's residence leans against the mountain, gathering spirit and hiding essence, drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is the Qingyun Lianyun Bihai Sky, which flourishes people and spirits alike! The Qingyun Lianyun Array is indeed a cause for celebration!"
Xia Nianbing coughed, then spoke out, "Then why has our family recently been beset with continuous misfortune and ill luck?"
The Taoist clearly hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "The I Ching says: 'The dragon rises with momentum, yet struggles in the field.' It means that before good fortune is to arrive, one must first endure some hardships, and then one can soar to the heavens!"
"Pfft..." Yin Tian, who was drinking tea, couldn't hold in his laughter, and he ended up spraying out a mouthful of water.
The Taoist's expression turned unhappy as he squinted his eyes, "Young friend, why do you laugh scornfully?"
Yin Tian stood up, smiling, "I am laughing because you can speak such nonsense convincingly."
The Taoist's expression soured.
Yang Yun hurriedly stepped forward, "Uncle Xia, this is none other than the famous Taoist Li of our city's Fangtian Temple, who never descends from the mountain. It was with great difficulty that I implored him to come here today. We must not neglect such a distinguished guest."
Hearing Yang Yun say this, Taoist Li also let out a grunt, "There are people lining up for my Feng Shui consultation until next year!"
Yin Tian's eyebrows jumped up, "So you can't even recognize the Withered Lotus Ruined Gold Array?"
"Young man, studying Feng Shui is not something you can do casually flipping through books for a few days, knowing a few terms, and then spouting nonsense," Taoist Li said.
Looking at Taoist Li's assured and sage-like demeanor,
Even Xia Dongliu was somewhat stunned, wondering if Yin Tian had been mistaken.
"That's right, you're only in your twenties, what could you possibly understand about Feng Shui?"
Just at that moment, Xia Beihai came running back from afar, his face filled with elation!
