Old Master Xia stared at him: “I can refrain from interfering too much, but we must set three ground rules. First, don’t rush impulsively these days. Carefully consider your feelings for him and whether you truly can only accept males. Second, don’t make any promises to him without my permission. Lastly…”
Xia Xianning said solemnly: “I understand, Grandpa. Please be assured.”
He spoke so seriously it seemed genuine. Old Master Xia rolled his eyes and said: “Let’s go back.”
Xie Su had just met the person he was waiting for but was quickly called to the dean’s office. The one talking to him was Dean Jiang Hongyi, who had a gentle character. Seeing Xie Su’s poor mood, he tried to comfort him: “I understand your feelings. But since the mistake is made, try not to regret it. Instead, think about how to better bear the consequences.”
He waved his hand and said: “If you’re scared, just stay far away. I’ll take revenge for you! At worst, I won’t even mention your name!”
Xie Su was overjoyed, repeatedly thanking: “Thank you, Brother Huo! I’ll wait for you in the private room!”
The people behind Huo Binghai looked at each other and secretly frowned.
Xie Su was instigating others to stand up for him, but in the end, he was unwilling to get involved, timid and evasive, which was quite insidious.
Even if everyone knew Huo was of low intelligence, they couldn’t bully people like this!
The bodyguards felt unhappy, but they knew Huo Binghai was stubborn and difficult to advise. They watched Xie Su about to leave when suddenly a sound came from the storage room door.
Huo Binghai laughed triumphantly: “See? Someone’s about to come out. I won’t open the door, let them go crazy.”
The door made a sound, obviously the person inside wanted to get out but couldn’t push it open.
Xie Su couldn’t help but stop and watch with schadenfreude.
At that moment, there was a loud “bang” on the door. It suddenly opened, the door board heavily hitting the wall and bouncing back. A person walked out, head slightly lowered, casually wiping their hands with a tissue.
Lo Yingbai had actually kicked the door open.
“Wow, so arrogant!” Xie Su was stunned, but Huo Binghai shouted, “You little punk, falsely accusing my buddy of cheating in a chess match, are you looking for trouble?!”
Lo Yingbai casually flicked the crumpled tissue into a nearby trash bin, looked up and said: “What are you talking about?”
Huo Binghai finally saw the other’s face, and was dumbfounded.
That… that was… this person, this face… Oh my God!
His eyes filled with tears, he murmured: “Grandpa…?”
Lo Yingbai: “…”
“
Although he had thick skin, even Luo Yingbai felt that having Huo Binghai standing on the playground was too embarrassing, so he said, “Alright, you two can handle your own matters… Mr. Huo, didn’t you want to see me about something? Let’s talk somewhere else.”
Huo Binghai hurriedly said, “Master Luo, please don’t call me Mr. Huo, just call me Binghai to make it sound more intimate.”
Xia Xianning gave him a cold glance.
Feeling annoyed, Huo Binghai followed Luo Yingbai with his head down and quietly asked a bodyguard, “I’ve offended the master now. What should I do?”
The bodyguard considered and said, “Try to be more attentive later and show your sincerity.”
Huo Binghai pondered this.
It was mealtime, so Luo Yingbai took his apprentice and grandson to a private restaurant outside T University and reserved a private room to eat and talk.”
As they entered, Xia Xianning moved to pull out a chair for Luo Yingbai, but Huo Binghai rushed forward, meticulously arranging the chair and wiping non-existent dust from the seat, saying, “Master Luo, please sit.”
After Luo Yingbai and Xia Xianning sat down, Huo Binghai stood and bowed deeply three times, saying, “I wanted to apologize to the master after the Weibo incident, but I didn’t expect to offend you again this time. I’m truly sorry… Would you like to kick me a few more times?”
Luo Yingbai couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “No need.”
He dealt with countless people every day, and he might encounter both good and bad. If he were to hold grudges against everyone, he’d have no time for anything else; being angry was enough.
After Huo Binghai sat down, Luo Yingbai observed him. The last prediction was based on Weibo, but looking carefully now, Huo Binghai was straightforward, hot-tempered, and impulsive, but overall loyal and kind-hearted, with accumulated small virtues and no major evil.
However, at this moment, a dark energy was faintly appearing above his financial palace near the nose tip, spreading towards the parents’ palace, property palace, siblings’ palace, and marriage palace, gradually becoming uncontrollable.
Luo Yingbai smiled and said, “Courtesy suggests there’s a request. Mr. Huo’s attitude is so good, which means the matter you want me to handle must be quite difficult.”
Huo Binghai was about to explain, but Luo Yingbai raised his hand to stop him and continued, “Your family has been experiencing many illnesses lately, and your living place is not peaceful. That’s why you’ve come to find me, right?”
Huo Binghai said, “Yes, exactly!”
He looked at Luo Yingbai with blazing eyes full of hope: “I was abroad and didn’t know about these things until my parents fell ill. The hospital couldn’t diagnose anything. So the first person I thought of was you.”
Xia Xianning said, “Thank you.” He looked at Huo Binghai, paused, and then said, “I am his junior martial brother.” Huo Binghai respectfully said, “So you are also a master. Oh, can you help me solve my current problem?” Xia Xianning looked at him and calmly said, “Eat what you want to eat soon.” Huo Binghai: “…” At this moment, Luo Yingbai suddenly said, “Xianning, look quickly.” Xia Xianning leaned over and took the phone Luo Yingbai handed him.
Huo Binghai nervously watched the two, and Xia Xianning scrolled through, seeing that Luo Yingbai had captured the Wuyang residential area and the newly constructed road. He looked carefully and suddenly noticed something: “Bent bow and direct arrow sha?” The newly constructed road in this residential area was semi-circular, with the protruding part directly facing the community’s main gate, which is the “bent bow and direct arrow sha” in feng shui, symbolizing litigation and bloodshed. Although this road faces the entire community rather than a specific household, it would somewhat disperse the sha qi. However, for someone with an unlucky fate, accidents are likely to occur.
Moreover, there was a lonely electricity pole on the other side of the road, facing the community’s gate, creating a complete bow and arrow setup, a sign of “arrow through the heart,” easily causing unexpected disasters. Just by looking at this photo, Xia Xianning could feel the stagnant sha qi hovering over the entire community.
“Indeed. Bent bow and direct arrow before the house brings great calamity to the household.” Luo Yingbai said, “Normally, such a large project should have consulted a feng shui master before construction. How could they make such a basic mistake?”
“Why are you suddenly blaming yourself? What does it have to do with you?” Xia Xianning pondered, “This is serious. I need to contact the government official responsible.”
