Chapter 834 Discovery of Corpses
"Ridiculous?"
Master Meng was very displeased, "Do you know who I am..."
Chen Xuan ruthlessly interrupted Master Meng, and sneered, "Master Meng, I see you have some skill. Now, take another look, how is the feng shui of this villa?"
He could see that Master Meng genuinely knew about feng shui and esoteric arts, and should be able to discern the feng shui of the Imperial Garden Villa, which was plagued by vengeful spirits.
"No need to look. Would what I've seen be wrong?"
Master Meng, arrogant and self-important, flatly refused Chen Xuan's request.
"If there's no problem, I can immediately kneel and apologize!" Chen Xuan said with conviction.
Li Tianxing, upon hearing this, excitedly said, "Good, you said it!"
In Li Tianxing's view, Chen Xuan was completely slapping himself in the face, and he could then slap the Su family and Chen Xuan in the face.
Chen Xuan said indifferently, "A spoken word is like a team of four horses that cannot be overtaken."
"Master Meng, then I'll trouble you to examine the feng shui!"
This time, Li Tianxing was full of confidence, after all, Master Meng's strength was evident.
Could anything he had seen be wrong?
"Since Patriarch Li has spoken, I will take a look. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't look a second time."
"Then I shall trouble you, Master Meng."
Master Meng glanced at Li Tianxing, nodded, and then surveyed the villa. After a full ten minutes, Master Meng's expression grew increasingly somber and his face increasingly grim. He couldn't help but glance at Chen Xuan.
He thought to himself: Could it be that this kid really guessed correctly?
Li Tianxing, who had been eager to slap Chen Xuan in the face, now saw Master Meng's worsening expression and couldn't help but reveal a hint of suspicion.
"Is something wrong with Master Meng?" he couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing. I'll open my heavenly eyes and take a look!"
Master Meng did not tell Li Tianxing that he had indeed discovered the problem.
Then, Master Meng brought his fingers together and traced them across his brow. A crack seemed to appear on his forehead, and a white light suddenly shot out!
The next moment, a sharp ghostly howl echoed in his mind.
His vision blurred, and he saw several ghosts flying around the villa. How could this be? He had examined the feng shui here before, so how could this problem have appeared?
In an instant, Master Meng's heart was tossed by immense waves.
He had not expected everything to be as Chen Xuan had said; this was indeed a villa haunted by vengeful spirits?
"Ah—"
Master Meng cried out in fright and quickly closed his heavenly eyes.
At this moment, his face had turned deathly pale, and large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.
Everyone exchanged glances. What was wrong with Master Meng? Why did he look like he had a serious illness?
Li Tianxing felt a bad premonition and, lowering his voice, couldn't help but ask, "Master Meng, what's going on? Is there something wrong with the feng shui of this villa?"
Everyone's burning gazes looked nervously at Master Meng.
Master Meng remained silent.
To admit that he had misjudged before so many people would be to severely slap himself in the face. After all, there were all high-ranking officials and influential people present. If he negated himself, his reputation would likely be ruined.
"Master Meng, speak your mind!" Li Tianxing said again.
Master Meng gritted his teeth secretly, smiled, and said, "It's nothing, I've just been fatigued recently, and now I've opened my heavenly eyes, so some physical discomfort has occurred. It's nothing major."
"And the feng shui of the villa?"
Master Meng said indifferently, "The feng shui that I have examined, how could it be problematic! This is an excellent feng shui!"
Upon hearing this, Li Tianxing's face lit up with a smile, and he straightened his back. His recent unease vanished.
The others also praised him profusely.
Chen Xuan, hearing this, raised his eyebrows.
Judging by his reaction, the old Master Meng had clearly seen that this was feng shui haunted by vengeful spirits, yet this old scoundrel actually refused to admit it. How shameless!
"Chen Xuan, you've lost now. Hurry up and kowtow to Master Meng and apologize!"
Li Tianxing sneered at Chen Xuan.
He was immensely pleased, thinking that if Chen Xuan knelt and apologized to Master Meng, the Su family would be utterly disgraced! The Li family could then regain the face they lost yesterday!
Who would dare to look down on his Li family anymore?
"Yes, kowtow and apologize!"
The others, not understanding, also joined in the clamor.
"Master Meng, talking nonsense, aren't you afraid of heavenly retribution?"
Chen Xuan sneered, staring at Master Meng.
The term "heavenly retribution" was actually a double entendre.
On the one hand, it meant that Master Meng had seen the feng shui too clearly just now, which was actually a transgression and would incur heavenly retribution.
On the other hand, it meant that the current Master Meng was truly shameless!
Master Meng knew what "heavenly retribution" meant and his face turned pale, but he gritted his teeth and said, "I act uprightly and walk on solid ground, why would I incur heavenly retribution?"
"Well said, acting uprightly and walking on solid ground."
Chen Xuan smiled at Master Meng's shameless face and ignorance.
The surrounding people also accused Chen Xuan.
But no matter what they said, Chen Xuan seemed not to hear them.
Li Tianxing turned to Su Yunxi and sneered, "Su Yunxi, this is your Su family's live-in son-in-law. He doesn't even admit his debts. Aren't you afraid he'll disgrace your Su family?"
Su Yunxi said firmly, "Disgrace? Chen Xuan has always been the pride of my Su family. I believe Chen Xuan is not lying. On the other hand, Master Meng might not be telling the truth."
"How dare you insult Master Meng!"
Li Tianxing gritted his teeth, "Miss Su, I invited you and Chen Xuan to our handover ceremony and gave your Su family a villa. Yet your Su family's live-in son-in-law has repeatedly caused trouble for our Li family."
"Now, he has clearly lost, yet he refuses to admit it. Miss Su, then I will not see you out!"
"Show them out!"
With that, Li Tianxing waved his hand.
Several security guards rushed over, intending to drive Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi out.
"Something terrible has happened, something terrible!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
A servant ran over, his face ashen, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Why the great alarm?"
Li Tianxing frowned, looking displeased at the servant.
"Patriarch Li, something terrible has happened. While we were clearing the remaining sand, we discovered over a dozen corpses!"
After saying that, the servant subtly cast a glance towards Chen Xuan, but his movement was very small.
Corpses?
Upon hearing this, a considerable panic erupted among the crowd, and even Master Meng's face changed drastically.
"What?"
Li Tianxing was greatly shocked, seemingly not expecting such a thing to happen.
He was also furious. Even if corpses were found, why couldn't you announce it in public? With so many people watching, if it were revealed, wouldn't it be impossible to cover up?
Truly lacking any discernment, I'll fire you later!
In fact, this person was acting intentionally. This person was someone planted in the Li family by Yang Chaotian.
"It's absolutely true!"
"Who are those corpses?" Li Tianxing said urgently.
"Wang Han, Ma Xiaochao..."
Thus, the servant revealed the names of the corpses.
Li Tianxing's face changed drastically, as if he had stepped on a cat's tail. Those people were all someone he had sent to be disposed of. How could they suddenly appear here?
