Chapter 349 Ghost Wall
"Scram? Still got some backbone?"
Su Cheng's face turned cold, and he glanced at Teacher Gong. "Elder Gong, these are people from your Qintianjian. I can't say much, but I hope you'll make a decision?"
"Elder Gong, you'd better decide quickly, or we'll be far gone. The fog is thick now, you probably won't be able to keep up!"
Laughing heartily, Su Cheng strode away.
Teacher Gong was unsure, so he turned to ask the only Feng Shui master in the team, Xu Jiaojiao. Xu Jiaojiao also had her celestial eye open, but she couldn't see anything unusual and kept shaking her head.
You Ruolong glanced at Chen Xuan, then at Teacher Gong, and hurriedly said, "Teacher Gong, the Su family in the capital is full of talent, and Xu Da is a renowned Feng Shui master in the Feng Shui world. Now that we're in a life-or-death situation, we can't entrust our fate to this backdoor entrant!"
Teacher Gong hesitated again and chose a compromise: "Chen Xuan, don't worry, I can speak to the Su family in the capital about the apology later."
"No need, I'll go myself," Chen Xuan said, shaking his head faintly.
"You... If something happens to you, how will I explain it to Su Qian?"
Teacher Gong was worried and a little angry.
"Teacher Gong, with your words now, if you encounter trouble, you can find me."
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, his voice very sincere.
Although Teacher Gong was somewhat opportunistic, he never wanted to see him in danger.
"So self-important. I guess this old man was meddling. Let's go!"
These words completely angered Teacher Gong, who turned and left.
"Then you fend for yourself."
You Ruolong finally drove Chen Xuan out of the team, feeling incredibly pleased.
Xu Jiaojiao glanced at Chen Xuan, wondering why he was so confident, but she had a premonition that Chen Xuan wasn't lying.
"Junior sister, let's go quickly. Don't associate with people like this."
You Ruolong grabbed Xu Jiaojiao's arm and turned to leave.
Watching everyone leave, Chen Xuan remained calm.
"Why aren't you leaving?"
Chen Xuan suddenly noticed Shi Tou standing beside him, unmoving.
"You're my big brother, after all," Shi Tou said honestly.
Chen Xuan's gaze of surprise lingered on Shi Tou for a few seconds.
At this moment, You Ruolong returned and imperiously ordered Shi Tou, "Shi Tou, why are you still following this live-in son-in-law? Hurry back to the team with me!"
Shi Tou resolutely shook his head, "I want to follow my big brother."
"You actually recognize this live-in son-in-law as your big brother? You're a real idiot! How did Qintianjian choose an idiot like you for the ancient ruins!" You Ruolong was furious and cursed Shi Tou from head to toe.
But Shi Tou was very firm and stayed with Chen Xuan.
You Ruolong had no choice but to curse and leave.
Chen Xuan looked at Shi Tou and couldn't help but ask, "Is it just because of the bet that you recognize me as your big brother?"
Shi Tou thought for a moment, but his tone was exceptionally firm, "I believe that a great reputation is not without merit!"
"The wealthy families of Jiangbei are not fools, they wouldn't respect someone like this so much!"
"Elder Xiao, as a legendary figure of Qintianjian, I believe he wouldn't engage in backdoor dealings for such matters!"
"Therefore, I believe you too."
Chen Xuan smiled.
You Ruolong had just called Shi Tou stupid, but he probably didn't realize that the person most perceptive in the team was this inarticulate, seemingly simple-minded Shi Tou.
Come to think of it, it wasn't that Shi Tou was clever, but rather that others were blinded by power and various benefits. Instead, Shi Tou could see the truth.
"Don't worry, if you follow me, I won't let you suffer a loss!" Chen Xuan patted Shi Tou on the shoulder.
"Chen Xuan, can you take our Zhao family with you?"
At this moment, Zhao Jing, with a radiant smile, also brought members of the Zhao family over, expressing their desire to join Chen Xuan.
"Are you sure? If you follow me, you'll be offending the Su family of the capital?" Chen Xuan asked with a playful smile.
"Of course, I'm sure."
"Good!" Chen Xuan nodded.
The thick fog was bound to hold countless risks. An extra person meant an extra layer of safety. Chen Xuan dared not be careless.
"Everyone, follow me."
Chen Xuan said, and took a step forward, with others quickly following.
Tian Feng walked to Chen Xuan's side and whispered, "Chen Xuan, I acknowledge your strength, but I'm not optimistic about you."
"Then why are you here?" Chen Xuan frowned.
"It was Miss Zhao who overruled everyone and asked us to follow you."
"Oh?" Chen Xuan was surprised.
"Kid, I'm telling you, don't be too arrogant."
"Don't worry, I will definitely lead you to the ancient ruins," Chen Xuan said faintly after a moment of thought.
"I hope what you say is true, otherwise..."
After saying "otherwise" for a long time, Tian Feng couldn't come up with any harsh words. He couldn't defeat them, nor could he match their backing. Moreover, they were already on this boat and couldn't get off.
Before leaving, Su Cheng specifically walked over and said condescendingly, "Chen Xuan, if you obediently kneel down and apologize to me, I can allow you to join our team."
Chen Xuan cursed, "Get lost!"
Su Cheng wasn't angry and chuckled, "Kid, there will be a time when you beg me!"
With that, Su Cheng led his team and left grandly.
In the blink of an eye, half a day passed. In the vast white mist, the Su family's team had descended into chaos.
"Everyone has calculated earlier, it should take half a day to reach the ancient ruins."
"Now half a day has passed, why haven't we arrived yet?"
"Master Xu, is your compass broken?"
"Master Xu, are you capable or not?"
Doubts echoed endlessly in the thick fog.
The fortune teller cast a hexagram and nearly fainted upon seeing the卦象, his old face turning ashen.
A top-tier ominous hexagram, blood must be shed!
"All of you, shut up!"
Su Cheng was already agitated, and upon hearing this, he became furious and roared, and the surroundings became slightly quieter.
Su Cheng looked at Xu Da and asked in a deep voice, "Master Xu, how is it?"
Xu Da still looked arrogant and full of confidence, "Young Master Su, don't you trust me? My Feng Shui compass is a true artifact. It's just that the fog is thick now, and we're moving slowly, so we haven't arrived yet, but it should be soon."
Su Cheng felt that Xu Da's words made some sense.
But at that moment, a shout suddenly rang out.
"This isn't the cigarette pack I just threw!"
"This isn't the half a loaf of bread I dropped on the ground? That's right, it seems like we've been going in circles."
"Ghost wall, it must be a ghost wall!"
"No wonder we haven't arrived yet, it turns out we've been going in circles!"
Su Cheng's face suddenly turned grim.
Could it be that Chen Xuan was right?
He turned and cursed at Xu Da, "Xu Da, aren't you a Feng Shui master? Don't you have a Feng Shui compass? Break this ghost wall for me quickly, or this young master won't let you off!"
Xu Da's old face turned ashen, and he stammered, "We Feng Shui masters focus on observing qi. With this thick fog, we can't even see things clearly, there's really no way..."
"I don't care, if you can't break it, I'll throw you out to the dogs!" Su Cheng cursed.
Being humiliated was a small matter; the key was that Chen Xuan had been proven right, which made him very unhappy.
Xu Da trembled, "I... I'll try my best... I'll try..."
