Hidden Master: starting by canceling ten marriage proposals

"This matter, Heretic Feng Shui Masters have been plotting for a long time."

Yin Tian stood there, continuing to speak to the King, "So when they set this plan into motion, they had already begun thinking of ways to eliminate you."

"By utilizing Feng Shui, for dozens of years they have consistently damaged your Fortune, intending for you to lose your life without you being aware of it."

"Hmph!"

The King suddenly let out a heavy cold snort.

He was somewhat incredulous that what Yin Tian said could be true.

"I know you find it hard to believe, but this is the reality," Yin Tian said with an impassive face.

"How do you expect me to believe you?"

The King's expression was grave as he stared intently at Yin Tian, "Who could believe such a thing if they were in my position?"

"I can prove it."

Yin Tian spoke frankly, "When I arrived here just now, I already took notice that there are issues with the Feng Shui arrangement within the palace."

"At first glance, it appears to be a series of minor oversights, but when you connect all the dots, the problem is significant."

"Nonsense!"

A cold snort suddenly came from outside the sleeping chamber.

Yin Tian turned his head, only to see an old man clad in a Tai Chi Diagram, holding a horsetail whisk, striding toward him, "How dare you make such wild accusations against me, what are your intentions?"

The King introduced him indifferently to Yin Tian, "Yin Tian, this is my State Preceptor, and the entire Feng Shui layout of the palace comes from his hands."

State Preceptor?

Yin Tian took a long hard look at the State Preceptor, then smiled lightly, "Now that the person in charge is here, let us discuss the Feng Shui issues of the palace."

"As the saying goes, in the Golden Palace, Xuan Gu Zi is hidden, in the Jade Pool sits the Grand Harmony Palace. Just by using the superb triple-cycle Li Fire, one refines the psychic Nine Revolutions Pill."

Yin Tian recited a poem, then regarded the State Preceptor very seriously, "I want to know, the Li Fire is in the south, yet you have placed a fountain there, what is the reason for this?"

"It's a position associated with fire, even if you hadn't placed anything related to fire, planting a tree would have sufficed, but that fountain, what does it mean?"

The State Preceptor clenched his teeth but did not answer Yin Tian's question.

He could also tell that Yin Tian was well-versed in Feng Shui Geomancy, and any excuse he might give would be taken advantage of by Yin Tian to question him further.

"Then there's the statue in the east," Yin Tian said, corners of his mouth curling into a cold smile, "The eastern position is where the Azure Dragon sits, yet it is bound by chains. You could claim that this is meant to suppress the Dragon Vein of our nation, but I believe there must be another meaning."

"What meaning?"

The King asked subconsciously.

"Binding the dragon in shallow water, a prison for the dragon formation."

Yin Tian stood there, speaking slowly.

"Binding the dragon in shallow water..."

The King muttered aloud.

Though he didn't understand Feng Shui, just from these nine words spoken by Yin Tian, he had already sensed something was not right.

The King sharply turned his head, looking at the State Preceptor, "State Preceptor, what is the meaning of this?"

The State Preceptor's face changed slightly, clearly not expecting Yin Tian to have seen through so much, "Your... Majesty? Are you doubting me?"

"This isn't about suspicion," Yin Tian interjected without hesitation, "but about substantiating with evidence."

"You!"

The State Preceptor looked at Yin Tian angrily.

"Furthermore,"

Yin Tian, ignoring the State Preceptor's glare, continued to look at the King and said, "The layout of this sleeping chamber also has some issues."

"As you sleep here, Your Majesty, do you suffer from prolonged insomnia and frequent nightmares and always feel panic-stricken and restless?"

The King nodded subconsciously.

Everything Yin Tian mentioned was true.

At first, when he moved into the sleeping chamber, he didn't notice anything amiss, but later on, he began to feel something was wrong. He often had nightmares and would wake up from them in shock.

Because of this, he had sought the State Preceptor, hoping he could resolve the issue with the chamber.

After the State Preceptor's intervention, the situation would improve for a while.

But after a short period, the problem would reoccur.

He had never imagined that all of this could be so closely related to Feng Shui!

"State Preceptor,"

The King looked at the State Preceptor again, "What about this matter?"

"Framing!"

The State Preceptor spoke without hesitation, "Your Majesty, this is a frame-up! He is deliberately trying to smear my name, to create discord between us monarch and minister!"

The King didn't speak.

His eyes flickered as he was pondering the words of both Yin Tian and the State Preceptor.

After a while, the King once again looked at Yin Tian, "Continue."

Yin Tian took a deep breath and pointed out several Feng Shui issues within the palace.

And with each problem Yin Tian found, the State Preceptor's face grew uglier.

He clearly had not expected Yin Tian's proficiency in Feng Shui Skill to be so profound.

Every trick he had used years ago was now being exposed by Yin Tian!

The King turned his head, looking at the State Preceptor.

"State Preceptor, you've heard everything this young gentleman has just said."

"Now, I need your explanation."
