Chapter 123: Apprenticeship



A few days after passing the news to Hu Qingyun, he invited Chen Xiao to go to the City Lord's Mansion again. After arriving, Chen Xiao met an unexpected person, Shen Yanxing and his guards were also there!

Shen Yanxing changed into a new set of clothes, which made him look more expensive. He was completely different from that day. That day, he looked like a pure young man who simply loved jade and antiques. But today, his temperament has completely settled down, and he looks more like a child from a complex family with a scheming mind.

Shen Yanxing smiled calmly and said, "I just learned from Qingyun that Master Chen is actually a Feng Shui master. When I learned that Master Chen was coming, I shamelessly asked Qingyun to let me see some Feng Shui techniques. I'm sorry for bothering you, Master Chen."

After Chen Xiao was surprised, he quickly regained his composure. However, Xi Yunting frowned slightly, but then quickly relaxed.

Chen Xiao said: "It is my honor that Mr. Shen is interested in Feng Shui. How can I blame him?"

After a few polite words, Hu Qingyun brought over an ornament. This jade pendant couldn't be placed directly, so Hu Qingyun had someone use gold wire to inlay jade to make a gold-inlaid jade ornament.

Hu Qingyun asked: "Master Chen, do you think this is okay?"

Chen Xiao nodded, took it in his hand and said, "Okay."

Then the people in the room watched him put the ornament on the upper left corner of the desk. Then he reminded them: "Leave this ornament here and don't move it. After cleaning and moving it, you must return it to its place as soon as possible."

With this Feng Shui instrument, the courtyard will soon form an aura. The aura nourishes the Feng Shui instrument, and the Feng Shui instrument feeds back to the aura, forming a mutual assistance. This is the benefit of using Feng Shui instruments. Ordinary Feng Shui ornaments are short-lived and need to be constantly replaced.

Is that the end? Hu Qingyun felt it was a bit unreal. There was no earth-shattering phenomenon, just normal as usual.

He glanced at Shen Yanxing obscurely. He had no choice but to let this person come. If he didn't tell him the purpose, Shen Yanxing would not transfer the jade pendant no matter how much he raised the price. As a result, the other party became more and more demanding. The other party was not afraid of his identity as the son of the Lord of Jincheng. Hu Qingyun was afraid of complications, so he had to agree to let him come.

Shen Yanxing was present, so Hu Qingyun couldn't ask directly, so he said vaguely: "Master Shen, when will this Feng Shui technique take effect?"

Chen Xiao said: "Be patient, it will take some time for the energy to gather. It will take three to five days at the earliest, or three to five months at the slowest, for it to take effect."

Manager Hong was a little anxious: "Master Chen, three to five months is too late!"

"What do you mean it's too late?" A loud voice came from outside. Everyone in the room, except Xi Yunting, was a little surprised.

Hu Qingyun hurriedly went out to greet him: "Father, why are you here?"

The old city lord's voice said, "What have you been doing in and out these days? Are you not practicing well? Your elder brother told me that he often saw you interacting with people of unknown identities. The situation has not been completely stabilized yet, so don't get too close to people with unknown backgrounds. What? Are you still unhappy? Your father is also concerned about you."

Hu Qingyun said helplessly: "Brother, you think too much. My son has too little experience, so I called a few Taoist friends to exchange experiences."

The old city lord hummed and said, "Don't take your second brother's complaints to heart. After all, it's your own place to live, so make it as comfortable as you can. You don't have to use the public account to pay for this expense. Your father will help you."

Hu Qingyun said unsurely, "I'm sorry to have troubled my father."

After the conversation between father and son, the old city lord wanted to meet his youngest son's friend. But when he saw the person clearly, his expression changed immediately.

He walked quickly to Shen Yanxing and bowed: "I didn't know the Fourth Prince was here. I am sorry for being so inconsiderate."

Chen Xiao's eyes widened in shock at this change, but Xi Yunting showed no expression.

Shen Yanxing turned out to be the son of the new king. This unexpected development directly triggered a chain reaction. The old city lord really thought that Hu Qingyun and Shen Yanxing were friends. If his youngest son could strengthen the relationship with the next generation of the royal family, even the fourth prince who had no right of inheritance could play a certain role.

Since he was going to associate with the prince, the youngest son's status could not be too low. After a few days, the old city lord finally made a decision and let Hu Qingyun become the new city lord of Jincheng and go to the capital with him, while Hu Qinglu would act as the city lord of Jincheng. The eldest son, Hu Qingzhi, was the most dissatisfied, but he could do nothing about it. Fortunately, the old city lord gave him a lot of property in the city, which was enough for him to use for cultivation or enjoyment in the future.

After the Feng Shui Bureau was completed, Chen Xiao gained a lot of luck. Although it was not as good as what the Han family of Hanshan City gave him, it was still very generous. Not only did it completely make up for the previous consumption of drawing talismans and using the compass, but it also replenished a lot. It was enough for Chen Xiao to live a rich life of drawing two vitality lightning talismans in one breath, using one and throwing one.

This made Chen Xiao in a good mood recently. Even Hu Qingyun expressed that he felt it was incredible again and again, and he didn't get tired of it. It was just because this time it was not a pure Feng Shui effect. Hu Qingyun's luck was so good that a noble person came at the critical moment.

Chen Xiao accepted the large sum of money from Hu Qingyun without any guilt. After all, without his guidance, Hu Qingyun would not have met Shen Yanxing.

Shen Yanxing has been visiting Chen Xiao frequently recently, causing Xi Yunting to look cold more and more often. He came to ask for advice on Feng Shui. Xi Yunting knew how much Chen Xiao wanted more people to understand Feng Shui, and he could not drive Shen Yanxing out no matter what.

The more Shen Yanxing learned about Feng Shui, the more fascinated he became. One day, he even proposed to worship Chen Xiao as his teacher and formally learn Feng Shui.

"You want to become my disciple?" Chen Xiao looked at Shen Yanxing in surprise as he knelt down to pay his respects. "Why? If you are interested, I can teach you. There is no need to become my disciple."

Shen Yanxing said, "In the world of immortal cultivation, learning from the other party's inheritance is a mentor. This is the family rule of my Shen family. To learn skills, you must become a disciple. So, please accept me as your disciple."

Chen Xiao looked at him puzzledly and said, "You think that if you want to learn numerology, you have many options. There is no need to choose someone like me who has no reputation and low cultivation as your teacher."

Shen Yanxing smiled bitterly, "Because those arts are not suitable for me, only Feng Shui is what I can study. The certificate of a cultivator was obtained for me by my father using his power. I am an ordinary person without any spiritual roots." He lowered his head, unwilling to look at the other party's sympathetic eyes, "Among my father's children, I am the only one without spiritual roots. People in the palace privately say that I don't live up to the title and am not worthy of being a prince. The other brothers have now been granted the title of prince, and only I don't have a title..."
