The masters of the metaphysical world gathered, agreeing to jointly resist the enemy. Before parting, they exchanged contact information, promising to help each other if any one of them was in trouble.
On the way back, Long Xiao and Lin Wei discussed the situation in the East Sea. Xiao Ming, from time to time, would pull out beef jerky from his backpack, tear open a bag, and chew it heartily.
Long Xiao didn't want the Lin family to know too much about his situation. When he got off the car, he told Lin Wei to keep his condition a secret from the other Lin family members, fearing that Lin Xuan would worry about his safety.
Having benefited from Long Xiao today, Lin Wei readily agreed.
As for Xiao Ming, Long Xiao gave him a few warnings.
He believed that Xiao Ming, fearing the loss of his job, would not speak carelessly.
Upon returning to the Lin residence, Lin Wei went to his room, and Xiao Ming also silently returned to his own room.
As soon as Long Xiao got back to his room and lay on the bed, intending to open the "Dragon Scripture" for research, Lin Hao pushed the door open and entered.
"Brother-in-law, sorry to disturb your rest," Lin Hao said with a smile, sitting on the edge of the bed.
Hearing Lin Hao call him brother-in-law and seeing his beaming smile, Long Xiao knew he had something to ask of him.
"What is it, go ahead," Long Xiao said, closing his eyes.
"Brother-in-law, I heard that the two renowned physicians, Li Yizhen and Sun Sizu, are both at Xinglin Grass Hall."
Long Xiao nodded without speaking. Lin Hao continued, "My sister said you often go there and are very familiar with them."
"Is one of your friends ill and you want them to help treat them?" Long Xiao asked.
Lin Hao chuckled and said, "Brother-in-law is so smart. My girlfriend's father and grandfather have both been feeling unwell lately, and despite examinations at several hospitals, no ailment has been found. Can you help me find them and ask one of them to come to our home to take a look?"
Lin Hao's girlfriend, Bai Xiaoqing, came from a well-to-do family. Bai Corporation was a listed company with annual profits exceeding two hundred million yuan, far surpassing the Lin Group in strength.
A while ago, when Lin Hao was pursuing Bai Xiaoqing, Long Xiao had given him a pendant he had personally made, inscribed with a spiritual talisman.
"Besides Bai Xiaoqing, are other members of her family also experiencing discomfort?" Long Xiao asked.
Lin Hao shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. Shall I call and ask now?"
After connecting with Bai Xiaoqing, Long Xiao's guess was confirmed. Dozens of people in the Bai family had experienced varying degrees of discomfort.
When Lin Hao finished his call, Long Xiao said, "Lin Hao, Li Yizhen and Sun Sizu might not be able to help you with this matter. I suspect someone has tampered with the feng shui of their residence."
"If the feng shui is tampered with, people can get sick?" Lin Hao asked curiously.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, you're right. As long as the seals placed by the other party are broken, the sick people can recover without treatment."
"Brother-in-law, you understand feng shui, don't you? Why don't you go and take a look?"
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "I only know a little. Why don't you go find Grandpa and ask him to introduce you to a master to go with you?"
Lin Hao left Long Xiao's room and went straight upstairs, knocking on Lin Wei's door.
Upon entering and explaining his intention, Lin Wei directly wrote down a phone number for him and told him to contact them himself tomorrow.
After Lin Hao left, Lin Wei secretly went to Long Xiao's room and relayed everything Lin Hao had told him to Long Xiao.
"Long Xiao, I told him to call Feng Xinwei. Let them handle this first. If they can't, then we'll step in."
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Grandpa, Lin Hao just came to see me. I was thinking the same thing."
Lin Wei chatted with Long Xiao for a few minutes and then left. As soon as he went upstairs, the door opposite opened a crack, revealing a small head that looked left and right. Seeing no one, it rushed into Long Xiao's room.
"Boss, why didn't you agree to your brother-in-law? Otherwise, we could have a feast tomorrow."
Long Xiao, who had just lain down on the bed, sat up in surprise and asked, "Were you eavesdropping on us just now?"
Xiao Ming smiled sheepishly and said, "Boss, I didn't mean to. You were talking too loudly, and I overheard."
Long Xiao naturally didn't believe Xiao Ming's flimsy excuse. He had deliberately lowered his voice when talking to Lin Wei. If the person eavesdropping outside the door wasn't exceptionally sharp-eared, they wouldn't have heard him.
Since they were at the Lin residence, and he didn't want the Lin family to know his affairs, Long Xiao had paid attention to the outside of the door when talking to Lin Wei. He hadn't noticed anyone eavesdropping.
"Where did you hear it from?" Long Xiao asked again.
"I heard it from my room. I'm not lying to you, really."
Long Xiao found it difficult to determine if Xiao Ming was lying or not.
Long Xiao spread out his aura. The conditions of everything within the range of his aura were clearly reflected in his mind.
He had observed the outside of the door earlier and hadn't seen anyone. There were two possibilities: either Xiao Ming was telling the truth, or Xiao Ming was right outside the door, and his aura had no effect on him.
Unable to determine, he had no choice but to believe he was telling the truth.
"Alright, I believe you. Tomorrow, we're not going anywhere. We'll stay at Xinglin Grass Hall honestly."
Xiao Ming left with a look of disappointment. For the past few days since following Long Xiao, as long as Long Xiao took him out, he would have plenty of delicious food. The food at home wasn't as good as outside.
Lin Hao had a restless night. At eight o'clock in the morning, he finally picked up his phone and dialed the number his grandfather had given him the previous night.
When the call was connected, Lin Hao introduced himself, stating he was Lin Wei's grandson.
Lin Wei held a high status in the metaphysical world of the East Sea, and Long Xiao was his grandson-in-law. Master Feng Xinwei's airs immediately vanished, and he hastily asked, "Little Lin, is there something you need?"
Lin Hao explained the situation, and Feng Xinwei immediately agreed, "Tell me the address, and I'll be there right away."
Lin Hao was surprised at how smoothly things went. After telling Feng Xinwei the address, he immediately took a taxi to the Bai residence.
The Bai family had been in a state of turmoil for the past few days, with one person after another falling ill inexplicably, and their ailments unable to be diagnosed.
Although Bai Xiaoqing was not sick, she was distressed to see her relatives falling ill one by one.
Seeing Lin Hao arrive, Bai Xiaoqing said unhappily, "What are you doing here? Come to laugh at me."
Lin Hao quickly smiled and said, "Xiaoqing, I've found a master to come and take a look. It's possible someone has altered your home's feng shui layout."
"What era is this? Still talking about feng shui layouts? If you bring up this feudal superstition again, get out immediately."
"Xiaoqing, someone is really targeting your family. If you don't believe me, wait until the master arrives, and everything will become clear," Lin Hao said.
Bai Xiaoqing didn't necessarily disbelieve feng shui. She was just a bit annoyed with Lin Hao. Although Lin Hao had a good personality and a decent family background, he himself lacked capabilities.
In the past few days, Lin Hao had been sending gifts and treating her to meals, visiting the Bai family almost every day. Bai Xiaoqing was conflicted about his pursuit and didn't know whether to accept him.
Soon, Feng Xinwei called, telling Lin Hao that he had arrived at the entrance of Bai Xiaoqing's villa and asking for Lin Hao's location. Lin Hao rushed out to greet Feng Xinwei.
As soon as he entered the villa, Feng Xinwei sensed something was wrong. The Yin energy in the Bai family's villa was too heavy. The feng shui layout of his home had definitely been tampered with.
