The Enigma Squad

He paused and explained, “For good feng shui, the first principle is ‘mountains surrounding water’, which doesn’t necessarily refer only to outdoor site selection. Even in a small room, the seat must have a backing to avoid an empty feeling. Moreover, doors and windows are the qi openings of a house. Sitting here, with vital energy and killing energy mixed, of course, it’s easy to get sick.”

Yi Yong couldn’t help but say, “This sofa is mainly used by my parents; I rarely sit here watching TV.”

Luo Yingbai smiled, “Teacher, your brow is concentrated, your spirit clear, and your condition is indeed better than Principal Yi’s. At least your nighttime sleep shouldn’t be terrible with complete insomnia, and you won’t feel body-wide pain. But chest tightness and shortness of breath are unavoidable, right?”

Yi Yong and Principal Yi were stunned simultaneously, exchanging a glance. Recently, everyone in the family had been feeling unwell, but with different manifestations: the child and mother felt bodily pain, Principal Yi’s couple had insomnia, and Yi Yong had breathing difficulties. Luo Yingbai was right.

The disapproving expression on Yi Yong’s face gradually faded, and his gaze toward Luo Yingbai became more serious. He slowly said, “You’re right.”

Luo Yingbai said, “But these are minor issues. If I’m not mistaken…”

He turned his head toward the second floor, “The root of the problem should be up there.”

The three went upstairs. Yi Yong had always been proud of his calligraphic works and antiques, but when his student stopped before the paintings, he felt inexplicably nervous.

Yi Yong proactively asked, “Is there… a problem here?”

Luo Yingbai smiled at him, “Teacher, your treasures are truly numerous.”

These two pieces by Mi Fu and Cai Xiang are actually genuine. I’m truly enlightened.”

Yi Yong was stunned, his expression softening, “You’re quite young, but your eye is quite keen.”

“I once audited your elective course on appreciating calligraphy and paintings,” Luo Yingbai replied, his gaze fixed on another calligraphy piece – Su Dongpo’s “江上帖” (River Pavilion Note).
