Cheng Feng chuckled, a hint of disdain in his smile. After all, he was a renowned Feng Shui master in Jiangnan, with influential figures frequently seeking his services. He was curious about who dared to speak such arrogant words. With a laugh, he said, "Oh, I'll obediently go check the Feng Shui? I'm also quite curious. I wonder which esteemed individual can make me comply with just a single sentence?"
"Such audacity! To be able to summon Cheng Feng with a mere sentence, come out and let us see who possesses such capability!"
"Let us all see who this great figure is!"
"I'm curious too. Could it be all talk, without the backing?"
"..."
Many people began to join the fray, all appearing to relish the unfolding drama.
"Is he about to be proven wrong?" Zhao Long exclaimed with a touch of schadenfreude.
Yan Shi immediately turned to Li Se, who was not far away, and pointed at him, saying, "Teacher, it's this kid. Heh, I previously assessed a residence for President Zhao, but he claimed it had a 'gu sha' affliction. This is clearly a challenge to my Feng Shui expertise, and then he claims a single sentence from me will make you go and check the Feng Shui. He's far too presumptuous!"
"Damn, this kid really knows how to brag!"
"He dares to question Master Yan Shi, I really don't know where he gets his courage!"
"At his age, heh, I bet he's just started learning Feng Shui, hasn't he?"
"I estimate his Feng Shui skills are not even as good as mine, yet he dares to question Master Yan Shi?"
"..."
Various sarcastic and disdainful voices arose.
Yan Shi narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "Kid, didn't you say you were very capable? That with a single sentence you could make my teacher obediently come to check the Feng Shui for you? Come, come, do you still have the courage to say the same thing now?"
"Why would I not dare?" Li Se looked at Cheng Feng, "Master Cheng Feng, what do you say?"
"Presumptuous! To be so arrogant in front of Master Cheng Feng, you truly have a big heart!"
"He still dares to question Master Cheng Feng directly. Who does he think he is?"
"Even at this point, he's still pretending?"
"..."
Everyone was becoming somewhat angered.
Yan Shi chided, "Good kid, to be so presumptuous in front of my teacher, your courage is truly..."
*Bang!*
Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Feng kicked Yan Shi aside. To everyone's astonished gaze, he quickly approached Li Se and said respectfully, "Master Li, long time no see. I never expected to see you at this disciple-seeking gathering. I am truly ashamed to have taken such a useless disciple!"
"Teacher, you..." Yan Shi was stunned. Ignoring the pain in his body, he stood there like a petrified statue.
The people present were equally shocked. Could this fellow have been telling the truth?
"If Master Li says the Feng Shui of the residence you assessed has problems, then it truly has problems!" Cheng Feng glared at Yan Shi, "Furthermore, from today onwards, you are no longer my disciple!"
Yan Shi almost fainted. From the moment he became a disciple to being kicked out, it hadn't even been ten minutes. Was he the shortest-lived disciple in history?
"Divine Doctor Li, does my residence truly have issues?" Zhao Ying's face looked rather displeased.
"If you trust me, then it has problems. If you don't, then no matter how much I say, it will be useless," Li Se shook his head.
"I understand!" Zhao Ying nodded slightly, it seemed that residence indeed had problems.
"What kind of residence?" Cheng Feng asked.
"It suffers from 'gu sha', and the opposite side is a 'gu yang' location," Li Se replied.
Cheng Feng frowned, "A residence with such Feng Shui might not be apparent to ordinary Feng Shui practitioners, but this Yan Shi has some skill in the way of Feng Shui. How could he not see such a residence?"
This kind of residence was different from one that offended 'Tai Sui'. Residences offending 'Tai Sui' were truly difficult to discern, even for someone of Cheng Feng's caliber, unless they possessed abilities akin to Li Se. However, a residence with 'gu sha' could be identified by anyone with a bit of skill, especially someone like Yan Shi, who was unlikely to miss it.
"I suspect Yan Shi did it deliberately," Li Se looked at Yan Shi.
Hearing this, Zhao Ying's expression turned furious. He immediately clapped his hands, and several bodyguards walked in, apprehending Yan Shi.
"Why are you arresting me?" Yan Shi roared indignantly.
"A residence with 'gu sha', are you sure you couldn't see it?" Zhao Ying, who now fully trusted Li Se, also believed that Li Se possessed not only medical expertise but also Feng Shui mastery, otherwise Master Cheng Feng wouldn't show him such respect.
"I, I, I..." Yan Shi became somewhat flustered.
"Speak!" Zhao Ying's face turned cold. "Who sent you? Otherwise, you know how I, Zhao Ying, operate!"
Zhao Long also looked flustered, "Dad, is this Yan Shi really problematic?"
"Where did you find him?" Zhao Ying asked.
"A friend introduced him," Zhao Long replied truthfully.
Zhao Ying looked at Yan Shi again, his gaze terrifying, and said, "Are you sure you won't say anything?"
Yan Shi quickly said, "I'll say it, I'll say it! This residence wasn't selling, so the seller promised me half the proceeds if I helped him assess it. Coincidentally, I met Young Master Zhao, and I did see the 'gu sha' affliction. But Feng Shui, isn't it always a matter of 'believe it and it exists, disbelieve it and it doesn't'? How can a residence's issues truly cause physical health problems..."
Despite being a Feng Shui master, he wasn't a strong believer in the supernatural aspects of Feng Shui. How could Feng Shui truly lead to misfortune or illness? In his opinion, most wealthy individuals hired Feng Shui masters mainly for peace of mind. He himself didn't believe that Feng Shui could cause Zhao Ying's health problems.
"You are foolish!" Cheng Feng berated him. "You only believe in 'believe it and it exists', but do you know it's better to believe it exists than not, and to deliberately act against Feng Shui taboos? You are harming yourself and others!"
"You are utterly unworthy of being a Feng Shui master!"
Cheng Feng was furious. After all, before today, he had greatly admired Yan Shi, which was why he had taken him as a disciple. It was a pity, he had misjudged him.
"Master Cheng Feng is right. Such a person is not fit to be a Feng Shui master!"
"He is simply a disgrace to the Feng Shui community!"
"For the sake of money, he disregards the employer's safety. Truly despicable!"
"..."
Everyone cursed him.
But Yan Shi was still unconvinced, saying, "Isn't being a Feng Shui master all about making money? Aren't you, Master Cheng Feng, the same? Or do you truly believe Feng Shui can make people rich? Can it improve health? Utterly laughable. Those who hire Feng Shui masters are all wealthy people, aren't they?"
"You, you, you..." Cheng Feng was so enraged he could barely speak.
"Why waste words with someone like him? Take him away," Li Se waved his hand.
Zhao Ying's face turned cold, "Take him away and 'serve' him well!"
Hearing this, Yan Shi immediately became furious, "You dare? I'm telling you, President Zhao, even if you are the president of the Tian Ying Association, I am not afraid. I have backing; the Martial Alliance is my backing. If you dare to arrest me, Chairman Lin will not let you go!"
"And you, surnamed Li, as long as I am alive, I will make you pay! How dare you ruin my good fortune, you bastard, just you wait!"
