They traveled through the night and arrived in Pucheng the following afternoon.

Huang Yiyi arranged a hotel for Xu Yuan and the other two so they could rest first, while she and Old Qin returned home.

As the car drove out of the hotel, Huang Yiyi glanced at the hotel entrance through the rearview mirror.

"You could be arrogant in Mingdai, but now that you're on my turf, you'll have to listen to me, won't you?"

Huang Yiyi smiled and turned to look at Old Qin in the passenger seat.

"Mr. Qin, please make arrangements for him to have dinner tomorrow night."

Upon hearing this, Old Qin remained calm, but his heart pounded with anxiety.

When did they become so kind as to invite Xu Yuan to dinner? Is this some kind of trap?

Sure enough, before Old Qin could reply, Huang Yiyi's next words reached his ears.

"At that time, we'll invite several prominent figures from all walks of life to come."

Look at where he puts his face.

"How dare you slap me in the face! I'll make sure you never lift your head again!"

Old Qin opened his mouth, but didn't say anything to persuade him. He simply nodded calmly.

She certainly won't let this go until she gets her revenge.

All I can do is silently pray for my wish and hope for the best.

Xu Yuan opened the hotel room door and stepped onto a soft carpet. The spacious and bright room had everything one could need, and even the chandelier overhead exuded luxury.

He didn't feel much about these material possessions, but Chen Xiaofang from next door was startled when she walked into the room.

Aside from her stay at Xu Yuan's house, this was the first time she had ever stayed in such a nice hotel room; it was too luxurious.

She ran to the wishing gate, knocked on the door, and asked hesitantly, "Brother Xu, is this room really safe to stay in?"

Will we have to pay for it ourselves?

"That'll cost a lot of money!"

Xu Yuan smiled calmly and comforted her in a low voice, "You can rest assured and go to stay there. Someone will pay for it."

"Really?" Chen Xiaofang was still a little unsure.

She felt uneasy living in such a nice place.

"I'm not lying to you, so go back and stay here without worry."

Watching Chen Xiaofang return to her room, Xu Yuan closed the door again, took a shower, lay down on the bed, and quietly fell asleep.

After a day of rest, Huang Yiyi didn't call, and Xu Yuan was happy to have some peace and quiet. She stood in front of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the distant scenery.

The hotel is right on the banks of the Huangpu River, and from here he can overlook most of the river.

Skyscrapers line both banks of the Huangpu River, with buildings of various colors complementing each other, making the Huangpu River seem like a winding, roaring river.

"It is indeed a top-notch feng shui arrangement."

Her gaze swept across the sky, and Xu Yuan's attention settled on a towering building that seemed to pierce the clouds in the distance, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Why build a building like this here?"

While Xu Yuan was thinking, there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door, it was Huang Yiyi's driver.

"Mr. Xu, Miss asked me to pick you up for dinner."

Xu Yuan nodded and called Wang Ba and Chen Xiaofang downstairs.

There were restaurants in the hotel, but Huang Yiyi didn't choose one. Instead, she chose a quiet private club far from the city center.

As soon as the car entered the gate, it was greeted by a magnificent building, like entering an ancient imperial palace.

"The Forbidden City?"

Xu Yuan glanced at the sign at the entrance, then got out of the car and looked around. The surrounding detached buildings were all named after the palace.

"Suiyu Pavilion?"

"The Prince's Mansion?"

"Mr. Xu, this way please."

The driver offered to lead the way and even introduced the room to Xu Yuan: "This time, Miss Huang has booked the Hanwang Mansion, which is the most luxurious private room here. You can't book it even if you have money and status."

Xu Yuan listened silently without speaking. As he ascended the steps, he could overlook the entire Forbidden City and discovered its secrets.

"A master!"

He muttered something under his breath, and the driver next to him thought he hadn't heard him clearly.

"Mr. Xu, what did you just say?"

"Nothing?"

Xu Yuan waved goodbye, then took a step back and walked alongside the turtle.

"The person who designed the feng shui here is definitely a master."

With heaven, earth, and man in harmony, and feng shui in harmony, sitting facing south, this is truly a perfect feng shui arrangement for a dragon lying on its bed.

This is an ambition to unify the country; that's quite grand.

Wang Ba didn't understand any of this; he just thought Xu Yuan's words were impressive and nodded in serious agreement.

"I never expected that such a place was hidden in this area."

"Is the 'True Dragon' the ancient emperor?"

Chen Xiaofang curiously leaned closer to ask.

Xu Yuan nodded: "This place is not simple. Everyone be careful later."

After walking through the corridor and entering the private room, I found that some people were already sitting inside.

As soon as the door opened, the laughter and conversation inside the room stopped abruptly, and everyone turned to look at the three people who had just entered.

A brief silence fell over the insurance company. The group of bigwigs from Pucheng stared at Xu Yuan at the door as if he were a fool.

"Friend, you've come to the wrong place, haven't you?"

A middle-aged man dressed in designer clothes, his wristband a prominent symbol, broke the silence by speaking first.

They were all worldly-wise, yet the three of them dressed up, and their clothes weren't even as valuable as the uniforms worn by the waiters here.

I could smell a stench of poverty from afar.

"What's going on? They're letting all sorts of people in here. Tell the waiters to kick them out."

Another younger man spoke up, waving his hand impatiently.

These places are usually frequented by acquaintances, so the sudden arrival of strangers makes them more wary.

"If you want food, go tell the waiter, I'll give you some, and it'll be on my tab." The man with the big belly spoke with nothing but disdain.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Huang Yiyi stood up, looking apologetic, walked to the door, and introduced herself to the others in the private room with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these are the guests I have invited."

"I heard he is a skilled doctor and also a member of the Taoist sect. I asked him to come and take a look at my grandfather."

"Mr. Xu, please have a seat. I have been negligent."

Huang Yiyi gestured to the three empty seats next to her for them to make their wishes.

Wang Ba and Chen Xiaofang looked displeased because of what those people had said earlier. Wang Ba clenched his fists secretly, wanting to vent his anger for Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan gave him a look, acted as if nothing had happened, and walked to the empty seat next to him to sit down.

Since we're already here, let's eat our fill first.

"Mr. Xu?"

The middle-aged man with a large belly leaned back arrogantly in his chair, sizing up Xu Yuan and then smiling at Huang Yiyi.

"Yiyi, where did you find such a weirdo?"

"We know you're worried because of the old man's situation, but you can't believe just anyone, can you?"

This guy is clearly a fraud.

"If you believe he has medical skills, then what kind of Taoist master are you?"

"You might as well believe I'm an emperor of the Han Dynasty."

"Yes, Yiyi, you must not be fooled by scammers."

Give him a meal, and then send him back to where he came from.

"If we really let him treat the old man, even if the old man isn't sick, he could make him sick from anger."

"Hey kid, you've come to the wrong place to scam people."

The burly man roared at Xu Yuan, "If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now!"

"Uncles and elders, you can't say that!"

Huang Yiyi quickly smoothed things over, saying, "This is a highly skilled expert I found with great difficulty; he's very powerful."

She then recounted everything she had seen at Mingdai University, and the others felt increasingly uneasy as they listened.

"Yiyi, this is a trap set specifically for you, isn't it? It's too much of a coincidence."
