Sold for 300, I Fight Back with Superpowers

”What? Not happy to see me?” Su Qing raised an eyebrow at his words and asked with a soft chuckle.

”H-How could I not be!” A chill ran down Xiang’s spine, and he said hurriedly, ”For you to be willing to come to my place, it’s an honor. How could I possibly not welcome you? Please, come in. Quick, come in.”

As Xiang spoke, he quickly stepped aside, making an inviting gesture. Even though he didn’t want to see Su Qing in the slightest, he didn’t dare voice his true thoughts. The last time Su Qing had come looking for him, the Hetian Association and the Jiu Ying Gang had run into trouble not long after. He had already guessed that it must have something to do with Su Qing.

This major bringer of calamity... he had no idea how she did it, but she had actually taken down a major gang and even caused an important leader of another to fall. No matter what, she wasn’t someone a small fry like him could afford to offend. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know what hit him.

Xiang prayed that Su Qing was just passing by, had suddenly remembered him, and had come over for a casual visit on a whim.

’Best if she just sits for a bit and leaves quickly.’

Xiang prayed continuously in his heart.

Unfortunately, his prayers were useless.

”The Feng Shui Masters of Xiangcheng. How much do you know about them?” Su Qing entered the room, pausing for a moment as she looked at the messy and cluttered furnishings. She then found a chair clear of junk, sat down, and asked Xiang coolly.

”Feng Shui Masters!” Xiang hadn’t expected Su Qing to show up asking about this. Given his last experience, he didn’t dare lie to her again. He quickly said, ”I know a little, but I’m not sure if what I know will be useful to you.”

”It’s fine. Just tell me what you know.”

Xiang quickly found a place to sit down and said to Su Qing, ”When it comes to the Feng Shui Masters here in Xiangcheng, there are three who are the most famous. Those three masters are extremely sought after in the wealthy circles of Xiangcheng.”

”Tell me the details. The specifics on these three people,” Su Qing said. ”Tell me everything you know in detail. As long as you’re honest, this is yours.”

As she spoke, Su Qing placed a Big Yellow Fish on the table beside them.

Under the dim light, the dazzling glint of gold was almost enough to blind Xiang.

”Ah, yes, yes! I’ll be sure to tell you everything I know, ma’am.” At this moment, Xiang’s mind and eyes were filled with the glittering Big Yellow Fish, and his speech instantly became smoother. ”Among these three masters, the most famous one is a master with the surname Wen. I heard this Master Wen is almost eighty years old this year, but he only looks like he’s in his fifties or sixties. He puts on quite the airs; ordinary families can’t afford to hire him. It’s been even more so in recent years—he’s not easily moved. If you want to get this Master Wen to take action, it costs at least this much. And that’s just for a Feng Shui reading, nothing else.”

As he spoke, Xiang held up three fingers.

”Thirty million!” Xiang exclaimed with a look of pure envy. ’Thirty million, how much money is that? And it’s just Master Wen’s appearance fee for one job. Just for saying a few words, he can easily earn that much. If that thirty million were given to him, he might not even be able to spend it all in his lifetime.’

”Oh?” Su Qing asked. ”Besides his skill in Feng Shui, does this Master Wen have other abilities?”

”Of course,” Xiang nodded hurriedly. ”For example, pressing acupoints—that’s a separate price. And there are the peace charms, Gathering Luck Talismans, and so on that Master Wen draws himself. As long as Master Wen is willing to sell, the wealthy circles go crazy fighting over them. He even has some methods to make people unlucky, and they’re impossible to guard against.”

’So powerful!’ Su Qing didn’t know much about Feng Shui. She had heard of people like this, for instance, in a village near Lihua Village, there was a very powerful witch who knew some mysterious techniques to help people cure illnesses and avoid disasters. However, she had only ever heard of that witch, never met her.

As for Feng Shui Masters, she hadn’t paid them much mind when she heard Brother Hu of the Jiu Ying Gang talk about them before. After all, she had her superpower. If she really faced one, she didn’t think she would be at a disadvantage. However, after seeing the scene through the fishtail palm that day, and now hearing what Xiang said today, she secretly grew wary.

She naturally wasn’t afraid of a face-to-face confrontation. But these Feng Shui Masters clearly had ways of harming people from the shadows. She wasn’t sure if she could withstand it if she were truly targeted behind her back.

”However, I’ve heard that this Master Wen has very strict principles. If he takes action against someone, that person is usually not a good person. There’s also another master with the surname Sun. Although he’s not as famous as Master Wen, his character is said to be good as well,” Xiang continued. ”But, I’ve heard about another master, surnamed Ning, who is not easy to get along with at all. He seems to have come from the same school as Master Wen—he’s even Master Wen’s junior martial brother—but he’s the type of person who will do anything for money.”
