Yi Dash师 felt a touch of displeasure at Meng De’s tone.
However, the other party was a master from the provincial capital. He didn't dare to be presumptuous and instead said, “Master Meng, Boss Xiao’s auction house is under an Yin Dragon Swallowing Heaven formation. Are you sure you can handle it?”
“What utter nonsense, Yin Dragon Swallowing Heaven! That’s all ephemeral stuff!”
Meng De looked at the group with sudden realization. “Hmph, you are all from the feng shui circle too, aren’t you? To use such tricks to swindle people, I am truly ashamed for you.”
He pointed at Chen Jie again. “Especially you, the feng shui circle has always valued seniority. It’s only with a certain amount of experience that one’s feng shui skills become profound and unfathomable. What ability can a young whippersnapper like you, who is barely twenty, possibly have?”
“Get out of here. Don’t embarrass yourself any further.”
Chen Jie narrowed his eyes.
Wang Xiaoyan said indignantly, “You haven’t even seen Chen Jie make a move, so why are you questioning him? Isn’t that a bit too arbitrary?”
“Heh, Xiaoyan, Master Meng is saying this for his own good. People from small places, it’s normal for them to pretend to be mysterious. However, one should still have reverence for certain things in their hearts, because some matters are real. If you mess around, be careful not to get burned.”
Yin Chuji sneered at Chen Jie.
He saw this as a perfect opportunity to belittle Chen Jie and show off in front of Wang Xiaoyan.
“Please call me Miss Wang!” Wang Xiaoyan said.
“Enough!”
Meng De looked at Xiao Ding displeasedly. “Let them leave. I can help you resolve the feng shui issues here.”
“Such arrogant words. Be careful you don’t die here,” Chen Jie said with disdain.
“Kid, what did you say?” Meng De glared at Chen Jie and shouted.
“I said you are too full of yourself. There are things you cannot afford to offend! You’re almost sixty, with one foot already in the grave. There’s no need to force yourself into it.”
Chen Jie said without any politeness.
Yi Zhentian, standing nearby, felt immense satisfaction hearing this.
Especially seeing Meng De’s face turn red with anger after Chen Jie’s words.
He almost burst into laughter and wanted to add insult to injury.
However, given the other party's association membership, he dared not go too far.
“You little brat, you dare curse me to death? I’m furious!” Meng De fumed, his beard bristling.
“Don’t get angry. You don’t have much time left anyway. If you get angry again, aren’t you just hastening your own demise?” Chen Jie said calmly.
“Trash! You’re seeking death! I’ll crush you, you scumbag!”
Meng De was enraged.
He was always treated with high regard and respected in the provincial capital. When had he ever been attacked with such veiled barbs?
In his fury, he immediately waved his hand, mobilizing the feng shui forces, and charged towards Chen Jie.
The Yin winds in the area seemed to be under his control, and wisps of faint malevolent energy rapidly approached Chen Jie.
Yi Zhentian’s face suddenly paled. Just from this single move of waving his hand to control feng shui, he could tell that the other party’s feng shui skills were superior to his own.
At the same time, Chen Jie did not dodge. He allowed the malevolent energy controlled by Meng De to enter his body.
Almost the instant the malevolent energy entered him, the spiritual energy within him, like a vast ocean, engulfed it.
It was then assimilated and transformed into spiritual power to replenish him.
“Very good. The last person who dared to attack me, their body couldn’t even be found. You have courage!”
Chen Jie chuckled and beckoned. A heart-palpitating aura immediately appeared.
Everyone present felt an oppressive mood.
It was as if a great disaster was imminent.
Chen Jie said, “Today, I will let you witness true feng shui. In front of me, you aren’t even as significant as an ant!”
This aura made everyone present feel heavy-hearted.
But no one thought Chen Jie was the cause.
Yin Chuji exclaimed, “Everyone, stop! Now is not the time for infighting!”
Chen Jie paused.
Xiao Ding also said, “Yes, I feel like something bad is about to happen here. Master Chen, give me some face and hold back for now, okay?”
Meng De also glanced coldly at Chen Jie. “Kid, although I want to kill you right now, the situation is serious. If we don’t resolve it quickly, we will all die. You’d better not show off your paltry abilities.”
Chen Jie frowned. “What? Are you saying that because you feel death approaching? Is this you begging for mercy?”
“Pfft, kid, you don’t actually think that the recent change was caused by you, do you?” Yin Chuji said dismissively.
Meng De also said calmly, “We deployed powerful feng shui techniques here, affecting the layout of this place!”
Whatever powerful feng shui techniques, whatever layout!
It was all caused by Chen Jie.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ding looked at Meng De. “Gentlemen, you came to inspect my feng shui, and it certainly wasn’t for free, right?”
“Naturally. Xiao Ding, we won’t make things difficult for you. Just hand over the map you obtained a while ago.” Yin Chuji said directly.
“Map? Are you talking about this?” Xiao Ding suddenly took out a piece of parchment from his pocket.
Xiao Ding explained, and Chen Jie learned that this map was the one he had used to find the spirit stones.
“Precisely, hand it over quickly! As long as you give us this map, Master Meng will help you escape your current predicament!” Yin Chuji reached out to snatch it.
But Xiao Ding’s hand retracted, and he dodged.
At the same time, he looked at Chen Jie. “Master Chen, besides the ten million yuan you charged me, what was your other condition?”
Chen Jie glanced at the map. “My other condition was precisely to have that map of yours.”
Xiao Ding secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had already sent people to search the locations on the map multiple times. Apart from the two spirit stones, there was nothing else of value on it.
He didn’t mind giving it away.
With a scoff, Yin Chuji laughed. “Ten million yuan, plus a map? You really have the nerve to say that! Master Meng’s appearance fee is only three million, and you dare to boast and demand ten million?”
Chen Jie’s brow furrowed. “This kind of useless old man, with one foot in the coffin, can charge three million? Then it seems my appearance fee needs to be increased.”
“Kid, you’re seeking death?” Meng De’s face darkened as he looked at Chen Jie.
If it weren’t for the fact that this place was unsuitable for a fight, he would have already killed Chen Jie.
However, even so, he had already decided that as soon as he left this place, he would immediately deal with this scumbag who dared to disrespect him.
Xiao Ding was a smart man. If he could resolve his issues at a lower cost, he would naturally seize the opportunity.
So he suggested to Chen Jie, “Master Chen, as you can see, Young Master Yin’s condition is just this map, while you are asking for ten million yuan.
“Of course, I’m not questioning Master Chen’s ability! How about this, I’ll have Master Meng make his move first. If he can’t solve it, then I’ll ask you, alright?”
“Regardless of the outcome, that car won’t need to be returned to Master Chen.” Xiao Ding said.
