NOVEL NEXT Chapter 384 Attract Wealth and Treasure
"Little one, you just wait a moment. Big sister will have someone make them for you right away."
CLAP. CLAP.
Liu Piaopiao immediately clapped her hands a few times, and a man in a black suit came over.
"Boss, you called for me?"
Liu Piaopiao nodded lightly.
"Get someone to make xiaolongbao right away, and make it quick."
"Xiaolongbao?"
The man in black was taken aback.
"What are you still standing here for? Go quickly!"
"Yes, Boss."
Such treatment was probably reserved for Xia Liang alone. Liu Piaopiao then picked up Little Liu Lian and walked around the real estate model with Xia Liang.
"Master, I heard from the sales staff that you took a liking to the Qingshui Villa. Is that true?"
Xia Liang nodded. The villa's location and orientation were impeccable, and the price was reasonable.
"Master, if you like it, as I mentioned earlier, we'll offer you a very favorable price. In fact, if you'd like, the Qingshui Bay Villa is yours as my apology to you."
A villa? Money? Those are things I don't lack.
He replied indifferently, "Miss Liu, I cannot accept a reward for no merit. I appreciate your kindness, but I can't take the house."
Xia Liang waved his hand, declining the offer.
However, Liu Piaopiao refused to let it go. She immediately grabbed Little Liu Lian's hand.
"Since Master Xia doesn't need it, and I'm quite fond of Little Liu Lian, let's give it to her."
Saying so, she impulsively gave the order.
Soon, a villa was registered under Little Liu Lian's name.
Well, so much for not accepting unearned rewards. Then again, Little Liu Lian is my disciple now.
"Miss Liu, may I ask who set up the Golden Dragon Wealth-Attracting Formation in front of your establishment?"
This question from Xia Liang left Liu Piaopiao completely baffled. She never would have imagined that the Feng Shui Master she had paid a fortune for would end up deceiving her.
"Master, is there a problem with the Golden Dragon Wealth-Attracting Formation?"
Xia Liang then asked in a profound tone, "Miss Liu, in recent years, how has your company's business been? Has your family been safe and sound?"
Liu Piaopiao looked puzzled and thought about it seriously. If Xia Liang hadn't brought it up, the thought would never have crossed her mind. Her company's business had been declining year after year, and her own father had recently been implicated in a smuggling case that shocked the entire city.
"Master, it's true that my business has been getting worse every year, and my family has not been faring well. Is this related to the Golden Dragon Wealth-Attracting Formation?"
At this point, Liu Piaopiao paused, her face full of doubt.
"Master, I hired a Feng Shui Master to set up this wealth-attracting formation, and this cost me three cents."
Xia Liang smiled faintly. These charlatans really do cause a lot of harm. Someone capable of setting up a Golden Dragon Wealth-Attracting Formation is certainly no ordinary person. So why would they not even know the most basic principles of the Five Elements and their orientations? There's only one explanation: it was done intentionally.
With that, Xia Liang led Liu Piaopiao to the parking lot, which offered a panoramic view of the entire sales office. Pointing at the copper bells on the eaves, he explained, "Miss Liu, look. The entire building is a wooden structure, so it pertains to the Wood element in the Five Elements. This should neutralize the 'Five Yellow' and 'Two Black' malicious stars, which ought to be beneficial, not harmful. However, the copper wind chime hanging from the eaves pertains to the Metal element. Metal restrains Wood, and it also generates Fire. Furthermore, the wind chime hangs in the Kan position, which belongs to Yin. Among all the Five Elements, only Water is absent. This creates a flawed formation."
Upon hearing this, Liu Piaopiao's face turned ashen. The Golden Dragon Wealth-Attracting Formation that had been her pride and joy turned out to be a defective trap.
"Master, what happens without water?"
Xia Liang answered candidly, "What else? With the Five Elements incomplete, you can expect domestic instability, blocked fortune, and misfortune for your descendants. Other than that, not much else."
Xia Liang said it so casually, as if listing nearly every possible negative outcome had nothing to do with him.
He even nodded with an air of satisfaction and added, "Hmm, the moral character of this Yin-Yang Feng Shui Master must be somewhat decent. He brought disaster upon your whole family but stopped short of taking your lives. I suppose that shows a sliver of humanity. Otherwise, you'd have been dead long ago."
Liu Piaopiao was stunned. Her eyes were wide, and she was speechless for a long moment. Unlike an ordinary person, she didn't panic. Instead, she remained eerily calm and composed, a deep murderous intent simmering in her gaze. Xia Liang paid no mind to her expression and casually began playing hide-and-seek with Little Liu Lian as if he didn't have a care in the world.
After a while, Liu Piaopiao spoke, her face grim. "Master, I'll have someone take down the wind chime right away."
Xia Liang suddenly remarked, "Do you think taking it down now will be useful?"
"Then what should I do, Master? Surely we can't just leave it hanging there until my entire family is dead, can we?"
Liu Piaopiao was helpless, her mood at an all-time low. It was rare to see her so dejected. Steeling herself, she said without hesitation, "At worst, I'll have someone tear down the entire building tomorrow. Let's see if it can still bring misfortune to me then."
A fierce glint flashed in Liu Piaopiao's eyes. It was no wonder she had amassed a fortune at such a young age.
According to my principles, whether she courts disaster or not is none of my business. But, considering she gave a villa to my disciple, I suppose I can help her out.
At that moment, Xia Liang slowly walked over. Since he could diagnose the problem, he naturally knew how to solve it.
"Things haven't reached the point of no return. Since someone else set up a flawed formation, we'll just modify it. We'll turn it into a true Golden Dragon Wealth-Attracting Water Formation."
