The Feng Shui Treasure Appraiser

205: Chapter 205 Absolutely FlawlessLiu Qing’s expression shifted several times before he finally gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely. ”As long as my career reaches the next level and my two children make further progress, they will be able to truly hold up their own piece of the sky. When that time comes, I will definitely compensate the families of my two brothers well.”

”That’s the spirit. Feng Shui isn’t omnipotent, and your family didn’t occupy a good dragon vein to begin with; reaching this point is already the limit. Originally, that dragon vein in the field had been nurtured for so long that it could have been put to good use, but who knew your stupid eldest brother would ruin it? If something goes wrong, it’s only right that he takes the blame. You could call it karma. Did you really think dragon veins were so easy to mess with? There are causes and effects; it’s just uncertain who the retribution will fall upon.”

Liu Qing nodded again. ”The Liu family has me, and my lineage is enough.”

”Indeed. Anyway, there wasn’t much Dragon Qi to begin with, and now it’s been slashed. Even if it can be nurtured again, the effect will be much worse. Divided among you three brothers, the effect would be even weaker,” Mr. Tian chuckled. ”If I were you, even if no accident happened, I would have manufactured one to send those two brothers away, just like your old mother...”

”Shut up!”

Hearing the words ”old mother,” Liu Qing stood up abruptly, staring at Mr. Tian with a ferocious expression, like an enraged lion.

Mr. Tian was also stunned for a moment, then ”pfft,” he spat a grape skin onto the table in front of Liu Qing. ”For the sake of your filial piety, I won’t hold it against you this time. If you dare speak to me in that tone again, I will personally seal you under your father’s coffin.”

Liu Qing’s face instantly turned pale again, but he forced a change of subject. ”Xu Xin and Han Jingyang have a good relationship. I’m worried now that Han Jingyang will come knocking. Although he’s young, his level isn’t bad. Mr. Tian, you must be prepared.”

Mr. Tian chuckled. ”Han Jingyang is good, but he’s young after all. Faced with such a situation, he won’t know where to start. Setting aside whether he can find Xu Xin, even if he has a way, what could he do? Would he dare to break open your mother’s coffin lid to save someone in broad daylight? If he really dared to do that, it would save us some trouble. Without you three brothers even needing to step forward, those villagers and friends and relatives would beat him to death first.”

”Foolproof?”

”Foolproof!” Mr. Tian nodded heavily. ”The old lady’s coffin will stay at home for three days. Today is the first day, tomorrow the second, and the funeral will be after lunch the day after tomorrow. All in all, it’s only about forty-two or forty-three hours. The time is short, and there are villagers guarding twenty-four hours a day. Do you think Han Jingyang has the ability to take the person away under these circumstances? Hahaha, he probably wouldn’t even dare to show his face.”

Liu Qing nodded, but his expression remained grim. ”I’m still a bit uneasy. That Han Jingyang is hard to read, and his methods are eerie. He can summon ghosts and gods; he can’t be judged by common logic.”

Mr. Tian’s hand holding a grape paused for a moment before he tossed it into his mouth and said calmly, ”Since you’re uneasy, I’ll put in some hard work. I won’t sleep for these two nights and will specifically keep watch over your mother’s coffin. However...”

Liu Qing was overjoyed. ”I know the rules. One million for your trouble.”

”I don’t want money; I want people. Of the three young girls captured before, there was one with big eyes. Find a way to capture her for me again.”

”This...”

”Those three girls were also rescued by Han Jingyang and his people. Mr. Tian, Han Jingyang has ruined our plans so many times; don’t you have any thoughts on that?”

Mr. Tian chuckled. ”When people like us do things, we either don’t do them at all or we do them to the end. Lock onto the target and strike for a certain kill—that is our style. So, just wait. First, bury the old lady peacefully. Then we’ll find an opportunity to give that guy named Han a vicious blow. If I can’t kill him, I’ll kill his parents, grandparents, sister, and girlfriend. I want him to regret it for the rest of his life!”

Liu Qing nodded hatefully. ”If it weren’t for that guy named Han, I... I wouldn’t have to...”

Mr. Tian waved his hand. ”Fine, go about your business. Remember my conditions: the remaining balance and that big-eyed girl must be delivered to me immediately.”

Liu Qing gritted his teeth and nodded, getting up to leave the study.

After Liu Qing left, Mr. Tian took out a Gilded Bronze Statue with a Human Face and Animal Body from a package. After examining it for a moment, he placed it by the window, with the human face directly facing the coffin in the courtyard below.

Then he chuckled and went back to the sofa to continue eating grapes.

...

Han Jingyang and the other two did not stay in the village the whole time. They even made a trip back to the city to pick up some props and grab a bite to eat.

It wasn’t until midnight that they returned from the city.

Around 1 AM, they found a place to park and walked openly toward Liu Qing’s villa.

On the way, they encountered several villagers returning home to rest in the middle of the night, and they nodded to each other in greeting.

The Three Liu Brothers were not ordinary people. Even the incompetent Liu Jian and Liu Xin were much stronger than average people and had wide networks. Along with the even wealthier Liu Qing, there were many strangers coming to offer their condolences, so it was normal not to know each other.

Thus, Han Jingyang and the other two approached Liu Qing’s villa as easily as they had during the day.

At the entrance.

Han Jingyang nodded to Liu Jing. ”Take it out.”

Liu Jing pulled a pure gold celestial globe vase out of her bag.

It was the Fourth-grade Item Han Jingyang had seized from Liu Xintong—a Pure Gold Engraved Celestial Globe Vase from the Yongzheng Emperor’s era. It had a confusing soul attribute, and its skill was to set a Confusing Soul Formation.

This thing was a divine tool for fishing in muddy waters.

Moreover, its level was high enough and its attributes strong enough that, under normal circumstances, no item could break it. It was quite powerful.

He had originally wanted to keep it as a trump card and not use it lightly, but there was really no other good way, so he had to reveal his trump card early.

Han Jingyang swaggered through the door, carrying the pure gold celestial globe vase.

Under the light, Liu Jian was playing cards with several villagers to pass the time. Seeing Han Jingyang, he stood up abruptly and pointed at him with feigned bravado. ”What do you want to do?”

Han Jingyang gave a broad smile. ”Looking for someone.”

Liu Jian’s face changed drastically. While staggering back, he shouted, ”This guy is here to cause trouble! Stop him—”

Hearing Liu Jian’s words, the villagers in the courtyard dropped what they were doing and gathered around Han Jingyang.

Han Jingyang smiled. He suddenly raised the celestial globe vase toward someone behind the second-floor window and made a toasting gesture, then shouted, ”Set up the altar!”

Liu Jing and Shi Xiaoya immediately set up the table with the statue, incense burner, and offerings.

At the same time, Han Jingyang lit the incense sticks, stuck them into the burner, and shouted again, ”Set the Confusing Soul Formation!”

As soon as he finished speaking, red Qi emerged from the pure gold celestial globe vase and spread rapidly, forming large patches of thick fog. Within just a few breaths, it had surrounded Liu Qing’s villa.

Liu Qing, who had heard the commotion when Liu Jian shouted, immediately rushed to the study. ”Mr. Tian, what should we do?”

Mr. Tian smiled. ”It’s a small matter. Let him make his move and watch me break it. I’ll give the youngster a lesson and let him know that one cannot go far relying solely on a few dharma instruments.”

”Confusing Soul Formation? No, this is a Ghost Wall!”
