Chapter 579 You Answered Poorly
Old Master Lai shook his head upon hearing this, chuckling wryly. "Mr. Chen, to be frank, my Lai family has possessed this Qi Observation Technique for three hundred years. We once harbored thoughts of creating a dragon vein, aiming to make the Lai family an immortal clan for a millennium. Unfortunately, creating a dragon vein requires moving mountains and seas, and the cost is immense."
"As for ancient times, I have heard that someone successfully created a dragon vein, but there is no way to verify it."
Chen Xuan frowned. "Your lineage has been with the Lai family for three hundred years. Surely you don't lack the foundation for this?" He suspected the old man was lying.
Seeing that he could not deceive Chen Xuan, Old Master Lai reluctantly confessed. "Oh... I remember now. Over a hundred years ago, the Lai family almost succeeded in creating a dragon vein. At that time, all that was needed was to blow up a lake and divert its water to the dragon's eye position, much like dotting the eyes of a dragon to bring it to life. But on the night before the demolition, it began to rain heavily, and it poured for half a month straight."
As he spoke, Old Master Lai's expression turned somber, a hint of fear in his eyes. "The half-month of torrential rain caused a mountain flood, and everything the Lai family had done was destroyed. Not only did they fail to create the dragon vein, but the Lai family was also on the verge of bankruptcy. Since then, the Lai family has never dared to entertain such ambitions again."
Chen Xuan listened, his eyes filled with deep disappointment. "It seems the Way of Heaven does not permit the creation of dragon veins."
Old Master Lai was taken aback and looked at Chen Xuan in surprise. "That's what our ancestor from the Lai family said back then..." He felt a measure of admiration for Chen Xuan, who, after just a few words, had deduced that creating a dragon vein was an act of defying the Way of Heaven. This young man was truly terrifying!
Chen Xuan said nonchalantly, "Alright, if you have any last words, speak them now."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Lai felt as if he had been electrocuted. He stared at Chen Xuan in disbelief, gritting his teeth. "You said that if I answered well, you wouldn't kill me. You can't go back on your word! You are a Grandmaster of Inner Strength! You are a master of Feng Shui!"
Chen Xuan shook his head decisively. "You answered poorly."
Old Master Lai: "..." He nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Since you have nothing more to say, allow me to send you on your way!" Chen Xuan slammed his palm onto the crown of Old Master Lai's head. The skull instantly shattered into pieces. Blood trickled down from the broken crown, and Old Master Lai breathed his last. Chen Xuan felt that Old Master Lai was ultimately a threat, and he wouldn't be at peace if he didn't eliminate him.
"Ah!" Su Peizhen and Shi Menglu cried out in terror, witnessing Old Master Lai's death.
"Don't worry, it's time to settle the score with you!" Chen Xuan turned his head, a cold smile on his face as he stared at Su Peizhen and Shi Menglu.
"You can't kill me, you can't kill me..." Chen Xuan's expression was impassive.
Shi Menglu shouted, "My fiancé is Su Ning! If you kill me, he won't let you off."
Chen Xuan's heart stirred, and he hesitated. Shi Menglu keenly noticed the subtle change in Chen Xuan's expression and saw a glimmer of hope. This guy was finally afraid!
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Xuan took out his phone and called Master Bai.
Half an hour later, headlights pierced the darkness. A Mercedes-Benz and a white minivan arrived, screeching to a halt in front of Chen Xuan.
"Mr. Chen!" Young Master Bai eagerly jumped out of the Mercedes-Benz and approached Chen Xuan, his face full of respect. Chen Xuan nodded faintly.
Young Master Bai glanced at Shi Menglu and Su Peizhen. "Mr. Chen, these are the two women you wanted me to take away?"
"Indeed!" Chen Xuan smiled.
Master Bai boomed, "Men, escort them to the car. We'll take them to the newly opened club later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the minivan was flung open, and over a dozen burly men leaped out, immediately surrounding Su Peizhen and Shi Menglu. They had never seen such alluring women as Su Peizhen and Shi Menglu before, and their eyes were filled with greed, their lips licked, and saliva nearly dripped from their mouths.
"Take them to the club..." Su Peizhen and Shi Menglu were terrified and started crying. Chen Xuan wasn't afraid of Su Ning; he was deliberately provoking and humiliating Su Ning! They should never have mentioned Su Ning!
"Take them away!" Young Master Bai waved his hand. The subordinates Young Master Bai had brought with him immediately escorted Su Peizhen and Shi Menglu into the minivan.
Young Master Bai couldn't help but laugh. "Thank you for the generous gift, Mr. Chen. With these two beauties, my club is likely to be booming for a while. I'll share the profits with you, Mr. Chen."
Chen Xuan waved his hand. "No need." He wasn't doing this for money, but simply to annoy Su Ning.
"Mr. Chen, I'll take my leave then." Young Master Bai was eager to inspect his new acquisitions.
"Young Master Bai, these two individuals have special identities. Do not make a fuss about it," Chen Xuan cautioned.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. My club also hosts celebrities, so no information will be leaked," Young Master Bai assured him.
Soon, Young Master Bai and his men departed. Chen Xuan, holding the Qi Observation Technique, ambled back towards the villa. While creating a dragon vein as described in the technique might not be feasible, the Qi Observation Technique itself was the Lai family's unique, top-tier skill and worth learning.
"Chen Xuan, you're back?" As Chen Xuan entered the living room, Su Yunxi rushed towards him, her face filled with worry. Chen Xuan nodded faintly.
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Su Yunxi quickly checked Chen Xuan all over. Seeing that he was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief, her chest heaving.
Wei Linlin yawned as she sat up on the sofa, rubbing her eyes. "Chen Xuan, Yunxi sis was worried about you for half the day. It's best that you're okay. I'm going to bed. You two should also get some sleep, ha, so sleepy." It was clear that Wei Linlin had also waited here for a long time.
"Yunxi, thank you for worrying about me." Chen Xuan looked at the woman before him who cared for him, his gaze gentle, tinged with apology.
Su Yunxi's face flushed slightly. "How did things go?"
"Perfectly resolved. No one will be bothering the Su family for the time being," Chen Xuan said with a smile. As for how he resolved it, Chen Xuan certainly wouldn't tell Su Yunxi.
The next day, as dawn was just breaking, Chen Xuan, who had been meditating in a cross-legged position, suddenly opened his eyes, a flicker of purple light streaking across them. His gaze was fixed on the window outside. He saw not the plants and trees before him, but the entirety of the provincial capital! It was as if Chen Xuan were sitting in an airplane, overlooking the provincial capital, with everything within his sight!
This time, Chen Xuan gained a deeper understanding of the provincial capital's Feng Shui, exclaiming in admiration that the provincial capital's Feng Shui was truly exceptionally good!
At that moment, Chen Xuan's pupils suddenly constricted, a deep horror welling up in his eyes, as if he had seen something incomprehensible. "This... the dragon vein of the provincial capital is an artificially created dragon vein..." His voice was faintly hoarse, filled with profound disbelief. Earlier, when he had observed the provincial capital's Feng Shui from the airplane, Chen Xuan had found no anomalies. However, this time, using the Lai family's Qi Observation Technique, he discovered that the provincial capital's dragon vein was indeed artificially created.
Chen Xuan found it hard to believe that someone could create a dragon vein against the will of the Way of Heaven, so he once again employed the Qi Observation Technique to examine the provincial capital's Feng Shui. After a moment, he swallowed hard, cold sweat beading on his forehead, unable to suppress the shock in his heart. "This is truly an artificially created dragon vein!!"
Why hadn't he discovered it before? It was because Chen Xuan had not learned this Qi Observation Technique. This technique could reveal the traces of artificial dragon vein creation.
"Who created the dragon vein?"
"And who set up the Dragon Concealment Array?"
"And from the letter my father left, this dragon vein is closely related to the fate of the Chen family. Could it be that this dragon vein was created by the ancestors of the Chen family? But then why is the eye of the Dragon Concealment Array in the hands of a member of the Chen family?"
