Chapter 13: Showing Presence



When Chen Xiao was pushed to the ground by someone who suddenly rushed into the Chen family compound, he was completely stunned. Following the other party's sudden move, some teenagers and young people under the age of 20 gradually occupied the Chen family compound.

Aunt stood in the yard at a loss, Ershun was shocked and scared, and Sibao was so scared that he burst into tears.

The old, weak, women and children were no match for him. Chen Xiao struggled hard, but the man holding him down on his back was incredibly strong, and he couldn't move at all. He could only hold his breath and shout hoarsely, "Who are you and what do you want? Let me go!"

A smug man walked in from outside the Chen family and said, "Your use of evil magic has been exposed, and now the immortal master asked me to take you to him."

Er Shun was so angry that he shouted at him, "Fan Shiming! You are talking nonsense. How could anyone in my family use such evil methods?"

Fan Shiming said to Ershun unceremoniously: "The Wu family has confessed! They still dare to quibble. Let's go and take them all to the Chen family!"

Aunt, Ershun and Sibao were driven to the Wu family with the people who controlled Chen Xiao. The lively scene in the Wu family was gone. All the neighbors and relatives had fled, leaving only the Wu family standing nervously in the living room. In the lobby, the immortal master of the Chongxuan School had a gloomy face, and a red rope was placed on the square table beside him.

Chen Xiao was pushed into the living room. When he saw the scene clearly, his heart skipped a beat. When he arranged the Feng Shui pattern, he only thought about whether it would work in this world, and never thought about what would happen to others after using Feng Shui.

In his previous life, Feng Shui had existed for thousands of years, but it was only considered feudal dregs for a very short period of time, and Feng Shui masters were always treated as honored guests. Therefore, Chen Xiao had never been aware of how using such a technique would be viewed by people who did not know it.

Chen Xiao felt annoyed. This was a profound lesson that he had to learn from.

Chen Xiao was roughly pressed to kneel before the immortal master. To be honest, in his two lifetimes, Chen Xiao had only knelt before his master when he became his apprentice, except when he was a child. It was not that his knees were so precious, but that he grew up in a different environment. This kind of humiliation of being inferior to a white dwarf and having to succumb to power and strength was something that people with sound personalities who grew up in modern society could not easily accept.

However, Chen Xiao is not an ordinary person. The situation is stronger than he is, so he did not resist for the sake of meaningless self-esteem.

"Master, I have brought you the man who prayed with evil methods!" The pride in Fan Shiming's tone made the master frown. He glanced at him coldly, and the complacent arc at the corner of Fan Shiming's mouth was restrained.

The Immortal Master sat there and carefully observed Chen Xiao. It was obvious that this was an ordinary person without any cultivation. Not to mention the traces of evil cultivation on his body, there was no trace of residual energy after using evil magic.

However, he did not dare to be careless at all. What if the opponent's hidden skills were particularly deep and he could not see it, and he made a mistake in judgment, which would be terrible.

The immortal master thought about it and looked back and forth at the people in the living room of the Wu family. He slowly said, "Everyone sitting here, stand up and answer. Tell me, what is this red rope amulet? How did you get it?"

Since he had the Chen family brought here, he had certainly done some research and knew that the red string was given to Wu Xinzhi by a girl from the Chen family. Therefore, the Chen family was the source of the matter. He had already heard the statements of Fan Shiming and Wu Xinzhi, and now only the Chen family had not been questioned. Among the Chen family members brought here, the elderly, the weak, the women and the children, only one who was almost an adult could be questioned.

Chen Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this person did not convict them based on one-sided statements. As long as he had the opportunity to speak, he was confident that he could turn the situation around.

Chen Xiao stood up, raised his head slightly so that the other party could see his face clearly, and looked down at the other party without offending him. The former Feng Shui master had seen a lot of human relationships and understood that this slightly humble and respectful gesture could make the person in a higher position feel good.

"Master, please allow me to tell you that this red string was made by the young man from the Wu family, his fiancée, who is also my cousin, using ordinary red thread to weave it as a blessing for him. It only contains my sincere love and is not made by any evil method. Master, please understand."

The red string is just an ordinary red string, but its Feng Shui effect is extraordinary. Because it does not have an aura, even an immortal would think it is just an ordinary red string. It is because it is too ordinary that the overly cautious immortal master cannot make a decision immediately.

He was still hesitant. He was about to leave when he suddenly asked Wu Xinzhi whether this was his own decision or was he influenced by something. He was really uneasy if he couldn't figure this out.

When Fan Shiming saw the Chen family member responding politely, he felt annoyed and unhappy. He thought Chen Xiao would confess immediately after meeting the immortal master, and then Wu Xinzhi would be removed from the list and he would be replaced immediately.

But at this moment, Chen Xiao's reaction was beyond his expectations. He behaved so calmly in front of the Immortal Master, which made him feel uneasy.

He really didn't like this feeling of being unpredictable and uncontrollable, and at the same time he was very angry. Why couldn't the Chen family just admit their mistakes honestly and make up a custom that didn't exist at all?

This made Fan Shiming very impulsive and he shouted loudly: "Don't quibble!" He immediately turned around and said: "Master! We have never had such a custom here. This must be made up by him! Don't be deceived by his sweet words."

Chen Xiao calmly turned his head to look at the angry young man: "I learned this method from the county town. As the saying goes, the wind is different every three miles, and the customs are different every ten miles. It's not surprising that this young master has never heard of it. People in the county town do this to pray for their families, and it is said to be very effective. I let my sister use this method only because I sympathize with her and I love her love for her fiancé."

Chen Xiao not only defended himself, but also tried to win the favor of Ershun in front of the Wu family. Otherwise, the Wu family, who were treated like this for no reason because of the red string, would definitely blame Ershun in their hearts. Sure enough, Wu Xinzhi, who was standing aside and had a bad face, softened his eyes when he saw Ershun, who was wronged and scared.

The immortal master was already unhappy because of the tone of Fan Shiming's words just now. After hearing what Chen Xiao said, he took the red rope in his hand again and used his true energy to probe it. Just like before, there was no reaction, so he began to believe Chen Xiao.

Seeing that the situation was developing in a direction that was favorable to the Chen and Wu families, Fan Shiming became anxious again: "Master, we can't trust him! If it wasn't for some evil practice, why would his family be in such a hurry to start the construction? The Chen family is very poor and has no money at all. They must have set up an altar for some evil practice at home, otherwise they would have saved the money to buy land and livestock, which would be more useful than repairing the house."

The immortal master's eyes turned cold, and he shouted sternly: "He set up an evil altar in his home, did you see it with your own eyes? How dare you make up stories without any basis in blood? I guarantee that you will end up in a miserable state!" He spoke so coldly that Fan Shiming shuddered.

At this point, Fan Shiming could not afford to back down. In addition, his family was the largest in Fan Village, so he was still a little confident, and he always felt that the Immortal Master should give them some face. After all, their family had a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

Fan Shiming emboldened himself and said, "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, someone else did." He turned around and called out a man from the group of followers behind him, "It's him! His father went to help the Chen family that day and saw the strangeness in his family with his own eyes!"

The follower was a little scared in the face of everyone's attention. After all, the Chen family was on good terms with his family, but now he was forced by Fan Shiming, so he had to repeat what his father told him at home.

"The Chen family made two strange moves when they renovated the house. They changed the location of the front door and the stove. Obviously, the location of the front door was not inconvenient before, and there was no need to change the direction of the stove to a double stove. It's really strange that they didn't mind the trouble."

Because of the testimony of Fan Shiming's followers, they came to the Chen family again. As soon as he entered the Chen family's yard, the immortal master of the Chongxuan School looked solemn. He felt that there was a subtle feeling here that was different from other places in Fan Village. He couldn't tell why. He walked around in the yard, looked sharply at other members of the Chen family, and then looked at Chen Xiao.

At this time, Chen Changgen and Sanshuan, who had gone out to herd cattle, also came back. The family huddled together anxiously and helplessly. Only Chen Xiao, standing alone, still trying his best to remain calm, stood out from the crowd.

"You..." He was about to ask something, but then he shut his mouth. He took two steps back, lowered his hands, and bowed slightly, "Welcome, Uncle Master."

Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up suddenly, and saw a huge aura in the air rushing towards him, drowning him. A man in black clothes and long black hair floated down and landed in front of Chen Xiao without a sound.

Seeing Chen Xiao, the man paused, then turned to look at the Zhongxuan Sect Immortal Master who was still bending over. Now everyone present knew that the Immortal Master who presided over the test was actually the nephew of the leader, no wonder he and the other person were so respectful to him.

"Get up." His voice was low and pleasant. Chen Xiao used great self-control not to stare at the other person's aura.

"Thank you for coming here, uncle. I have encountered a difficult problem." After the nephew said this, his lips began to move slightly, transmitting the message to the uncle. The people present were silent for a while, but no one dared to say anything. Although they were very curious, they could not raise their heads to take a look.

"Hmm..." The man groaned, raised his hand and swept across. Others could not see it, but Chen Xiao could see that his aura was like plowing the land, sweeping through the entire Chen family. "Hmm?" Slightly surprised, a look of doubt flashed in the man's eyes. He did not speak directly, but instead transmitted a message to his nephew.

The nephew then asked Fan Shiming's followers to confirm that the decision to modify the house was made by Chen Xiao.

The man nodded gently, his eyes fixed on Chen Xiao's face. Instantly, Chen Xiao's heart beat very fast.

The author has something to say: Chen Xiao: My heart is beating not because the other person is too good-looking!
