Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

The appearance of his fourth uncle completely stole the spotlight from his father, which surprised Shang Muchen.

Shang Muchen never expected that his unremarkable fourth uncle, who had spent several years in prison, never attended university, was unmarried, childless, and unemployed, would be recognized by so many high-ranking officials and bosses.

This graduation banquet practically became Uncle Si's show. He sat there chatting away, sometimes gossiping about this official, sometimes telling embarrassing stories about that boss's family affairs. Amidst the laughter and chatter, the banquet became much more lively.

The old man's face looked very grim.

Clearing his throat, the old man proposed a toast: "I'd like to ask you all to put in a good word for my son's job search..."

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down a bit, and several close childhood friends replied, "Guoxing, don't worry, we're all keeping your nephew in mind."

Uncle Si also raised his glass and said, "I entrust this to you all. My nephew's affairs are my affairs. I'm troubling you all to take this matter to heart. I, Shang Guoning, bow to you all!"

The atmosphere immediately became lively again, with several influential figures raising their glasses:

"Oh, since Guoning said so, I'll take care of it! I'll go back and have HR arrange it. Xiao Shang, send me your resume."

"Hey, come to my place, my company's hiring. Xiao Shang, do you have a boyfriend? My daughter's two years older than you, and she's single. Why don't you two get to know each other?"

The atmosphere became lively again. The old man's face was grim, but considering that Shang Muchen's job search was progressing, he didn't say anything.

After a few rounds of drinks, Uncle Si was boasting that he had just been in the south and had done a feng shui consultation for a Southeast Asian boss, warding him off evil spirits, when a bald old man suddenly interjected:

"Old Liu, didn't you tell me the other day that there was something wrong with your house?"

Guoning is here, why don't you let Guoning take a look at you?

Old Man Liu looked a little embarrassed, then smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I don't understand traditional Chinese culture. I'm just a soldier, I don't really believe in these things, haha."

Upon hearing this, Fourth Uncle raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Liu, you and my Second Brother are best buddies, I know about this."

I remember my second brother telling me that you encountered the Flying Bat Woman in the rainforest back then?

Upon hearing this, Old Man Liu immediately became interested: "That's true. Back then, Guoxing, Lao Mei, Lao Song, and I were scouting one night when we suddenly saw a female ghost with red eyes who could fly and had large wings..."

Old Man Liu gave a long, enthusiastic speech.

Uncle Si suddenly said, "Brother Liu, I heard that your house has been noisy at night lately, is that true?"

When Uncle Liu asked him this question out of the blue, the old man of the Liu family could no longer continue his story about the "Flying Bat Girl" and nodded awkwardly.

"I'll take a look for you, for free," Uncle Si said with a smile. "You're my brother, and we've been through thick and thin together. I have to give you this much face."

Besides, you don't believe in things like feng shui anyway.

If you don't believe me, I won't make you spend any money; that's unreasonable.

"How about I drop by your place, like a brother?"

Several influential figures present were urging, "Commander Liu, why don't you let Shang Laosi go and take a look? He won't ask you for money, so you won't lose out."

"Brother Liu, Guo Ning has some real skills, you should believe me."

Having said all that, Old Man Liu reluctantly nodded.

Uncle Four suddenly turned to Shang Muchen and said, "Little Chen, why don't you come with me and have some fun?"

"What are you looking at?" Shang Muchen asked, puzzled.

Uncle Si, reeking of alcohol, said, "It's about feng shui."

"I don't believe in feng shui, that's all feudal superstition." Shang Muchen was a little drunk and said casually.

"Haha," Fourth Uncle laughed without getting impatient or annoyed, and generously said to Shang Muchen, "Little Chen, aren't you currently unemployed?"

"Until you find a job, I'll give you 20,000 yuan a month as my assistant, how about that?"

"Fourth Uncle! You have drawn up this path for me, and I, your humble nephew, will go through fire and water for you!" Shang Muchen bowed deeply in respect.

"Fourth son, don't lead my son astray!" the old man said with dissatisfaction.

The eldest aunt advised, "Guoxing, I think it would be good for Xiaochen to gain some experience with Lao Si."

Putting everything else aside, letting Xiaochen see the world and gain some experience is better than keeping him at home.

Boys shouldn't stay at home; the more they stay at home, the less promising they become!

Once his aunt spoke, his father was speechless. All he could say was, "Son, once you find a decent job, start working as soon as possible. Don't delay!"

Shang Muchen thought to himself, "What kind of legitimate job can give me 20,000 a month?"

However, he didn't argue, and nodded with a smile.

After the banquet ended, Liu Qingyang secretly sought out Shang Muchen.

"Why didn't you read my message?" Liu Qingyang asked, sounding accusatory.

"When do I have time to look at my phone?" Shang Muchen said, his face flushed and reeking of alcohol. "Besides, you're not my wife, why should it matter to me whether I see your messages or not?"

"Nonsense! Your fourth uncle said he was going to take you to my house, so why didn't I give you some pointers beforehand?"

"Do you think I want to go? Are you going to give me a kickback?"

"I'll give you a kickback, you'd better not go."

"How much?"

"Two hundred and fifty."

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Do you believe I'll beat you up?"

"Why won't you let me go? Do you have some secret you're afraid of being discovered?"

"You...I..." Liu Qingyang was speechless for a moment, her face flushed, and she flung her hand away, saying, "Go! Go! Go if you want, I don't care anymore."

"Hehe, I've caught you red-handed." Shang Muchen, reeking of alcohol, made a "take it or leave it" gesture.

"roll!"

After a heated argument, Liu Qingyang emerged victorious and stormed off. Shang Muchen went home and slept soundly until noon the next day.

After waking up, I lay in bed for a long time, feeling like I had talked to that pretty girl about something interesting last night, but I couldn't remember what it was.

Upon opening her phone, she was shocked to see that Liu Qingyang had sent her a very long private message.

The story goes that his family's country villa is haunted and very scary, so much so that it drove his father's bodyguard crazy.

Don't get involved in this. Her father has already settled on someone to sell the house, so there's no need to look into it.

Shang Muchen called his fourth uncle and told him about Liu Qingyang's private message.

Fourth Uncle replied with a phrase that Shang Muchen couldn't understand: "Little Chen, what is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force."

Don't think that we feng shui practitioners can actually change people's fate.

First comes fate, second comes luck, and third comes feng shui. Feng shui comes after fate and luck.

Those who think they can change their fate by altering their feng shui are simply acknowledging that their destiny was already predetermined.

"Fourth Uncle, does that mean you're just cheating people when you give them feng shui advice?"

"You can't say it like that. It's human nature to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune," Uncle Si said. "If the feng shui is changed and people's hearts are at ease, then the reality that manifests will also be more pleasant."

That soldier surnamed Liu was like that.

It was because he was in a bad mood that his family suffered a great disaster!

I saw it yesterday; if I hadn't helped, his daughter might have gotten herself killed!
