The layout is incorrect

born with many traits that suited him for this line of work.However, this is after all a secret within our circle and should not be publicized widely.He and my dad started cleaning out the house's st...My brother doesn't trust me to go out alone. It's not because he worries about me encountering any evil spirits or ghosts, but because he's worried I might run into bad people.

When dealing with ghosts, we aren't afraid. What we fear most is encountering "humans".

Both the dead, the living, and those in between are afraid.

So I insisted on waiting for my brother at the highway exit before we drove into the city together.

This city is considered a large second-tier city, with house prices approaching 20,000. High-rise buildings are springing up everywhere. The first meeting place was a luxurious restaurant with an ancient and elegant style.

From the casual conversation, I sensed this commission was from an utter outsider, someone completely clueless, who didn't even grasp the basic principles or etiquette.

This martial arts expert only thinks of deities and immortals when things go wrong, completely oblivious to the world of yin and yang in his daily life.

If you want to talk about feng shui, ancestral graves and homes, healing, or exorcism, it's more appropriate to consult a Taoist.

So, Wu Jingli investigated from all directions, not only finding our Shen family, but also a renowned master in their local area. The master also invited a Taoist friend from outside the region.

The local master was surnamed He, the fellow Taoist he invited... turned out to be an acquaintance.

That was Liu Daochang, the one who asked our Mu family to help him find his daughter.

When you meet colleagues, it's especially awkward.

This military officer only cared about securing more positions, completely unaware of the rules governing this circle.

Generally, it's best to hire one company to handle the situation. Only if they do a poor job should you seek another company. And when you do, be sure to explain the previous situation: who you hired before, how they handled it, etc.

Shen Qingrui was "saved" by Zong Daochang with good intentions, and she's still furiously bullying him! You see, the noble families and schools in this circle all have high self-esteem. When you intervene in someone else's commission, it's easy to make enemies.

I don't have any desire for power or fame. But as a high-ranking junior sitting here, it must be quite awkward for Master He and Daoist Liu, their expressions are unreadable.

But Wu Jingli didn't understand the principles of yin-yang circles at all. He first introduced me to Master He, praising him as: "Master He is a famous immortal in our local area. Many people who encounter strange occurrences come to him. It was he who helped us stabilize the situation before, and he also invited his friends to help, including this Daoist Liu."

I nodded.

"You three look quite young," Martial Arts Director said to my brother, Xiao Shanming, and me. "You must be juniors."

"Yeah." My brother said humbly, "We younger generations don't dare to take precedence. Please take care of it first, the two masters. This also gives us a chance to learn from our seniors."

Wu Jingli nodded and said, "That's right, young people should learn more..."

I couldn't help but smile down at him.

Master He did not know us, merely nodding in greeting, but Liu Daochang's face had turned red as pork liver.

He previously asked Lai Mujia to help him find his daughter, and the daughter was found, but she was lying naked in the wilderness. This would be too embarrassing if it got out, so he definitely has to cover it up.

Unexpectedly, we bumped into him again. He was so embarrassed that he bowed to us and then remained silent on the side.

While waiting for the food, I roughly understood the whole thing—this martial arts master was the nephew of a certain city leader. He and the city leader's son, who was also his nephew, were working on a project together.

A large tech logistics park was built in the new urban area. It has been completed and attracted many new businesses, but recently something happened.

“Master He gave us a Bagua Wealth-Gathering Feng Shui design, and we followed his plan. It’s been going well until recently. I don’t know what we’ve done to upset the balance, but my nephew has been feeling very sick. We sent him home to rest for a few days, but he’s gotten worse.” Wu Jingli was so worried that he kept fidgeting with his hands.

"This is a provincial demonstration project. At first, it looked promising, and the media made a big fuss about it, attracting investment. If something goes wrong, my brother-in-law's career will probably be affected... You all understand what I mean, right Please cooperate, this expense is unavoidable."

"Just feeling unwell I looked at my brother, and he understood what I meant. He tapped the table with his fingers and smiled: "Wu Jingli, if the mayor's son is not feeling well, why don't you rush to the hospital We're not doctors, we can't see patients."

"Um, this isn't an illness..." Wu Jingli blurted out.

"How do you know it's not an illness" My brother looked at Wu Jingli with a half-smile. "Since you're so sure it's not an illness and yet so tense, why did you tell us about the situation so lightly"

"This…"

"If there's anything you're uncomfortable saying, or don't want to say, then we'd rather not take this commission. After all, we can't risk our lives for you, can we"

Wu Jingli awkwardly glanced at Master He, surely inwardly blaming the young upstart for being so impolite.

"Either make it clear so we know where we stand, or bring in someone else." My brother shrugged.

Wu Jingli's assistant poked his head out and scolded my brother, "How do you speak to people! The seniors here haven't spoken yet, so how dare you jump in"

“Well…… these two seniors are silent because they know the specific situation, and Wu Jingli invited someone from the Shen family but didn’t explain the specific situation to them. What Do you want the Shen family to take the blame, or do you want the Shen family to die for you” My brother sneered.

"You—"

My brother's words were quite harsh, and I also felt that Wu Jingli didn't really rely on the Shen family. Perhaps it was his sister-in-law who led the team and invited the Shen family, so he invited them as well.

After all, there are many high-ranking officials among Shen's clients.

The door to the adjacent suite connected to this room suddenly swung open, and a gorgeously dressed lady walked in.

"Sister..." Wu Jingli hurried to stand up.

The woman looked at me and my brother and said, “Excuse me, gentlemen, I think it's best if I explain about my son.”

My brother whispered to me, "This woman has a different aura..."

I whispered, "Of course Madam Official has an extraordinary aura."

And you, Madam Official of the Underworld, where is your aura My brother gave me a withering glance.

"My son is now confined at home. He initially only had some photophobia and phonophobia, but in the past two days he has started to fear any movement...and he's engaged in some self-harm...We dare not approach him, as soon as we get close he frantically bumps into walls and tries to jump out the window." Mrs. Official's eyes were red.

"Where did you first notice something was different about him" my brother pressed.

“It's hard to say... At first, I thought he was distracted and his eyes were glazed over. I even asked him if he had been out partying the night before, but he just mumbled and avoided answering. For a couple of days, he acted this way in the office until I found him asleep at his desk. I woke him up and told him to go home—after that, things got worse.” Wu Jingli said.

That said, it wasn't a sudden case of something strange and evil taking over.

My brother glanced at me, and I nodded. "Let's go see where he works first, that tech logistics park"

As soon as I spoke, Master He frowned and said, “ … Now that someone is at home and causing the whole family to be unsettled, why not go see for yourself If you want to exorcise evil spirits, you have to do it where the evil spirits are. Why go elsewhere first”

Well, this... look, we just had a disagreement after one sentence.

My brother raised an eyebrow and said, "Since Master He is so well-intentioned, I'll trouble you to go home. We younger generations will first go to the logistics park. We won't interfere with each other, alright"

Master He, what else could you say Liu Daoshi hurriedly smoothed things over: "Brother He, let's just decide like this. It's reasonable for Miss Mu and the others to go and understand the situation first, after all, they are new here."

Master He frowned and reluctantly nodded his head.

Xiao Shanming remained silent until we went out, then he angrily said, "…The women down the mountain are fierce, and so are the men! These senior fellow practitioners only bully people."

"Alright, when you're as senior as me one day, remember not to pick up these bad habits." I said with a smile.

My brother drove us to the logistics park very quickly. Wu Jingli said this place was a "geomancy of prosperity," where wealth gathers from all directions, but under the night sky, half of it still had lights burning while the other half was chillingly silent and deserted.

I glanced at the compass; the needle swung erratically towards the side with no lights.

"This kind of layout, is it still a money-making point for wealth from all directions" I was a little doubtful.ave fainted from anger..."Mrs. Lin, although my brother appears carefree, he is very serious about Lin Yanqin and doesn't let her get involved in our family affairs... He's not a child who doesn't kno...
