"Come in!" Zhou Yuanyuan said lightly, then got off the bed, poured two glasses of water from the water dispenser, and placed them on the coffee table in front of the sofa, making it clear that she treated Qian Yuxin as a guest.
Facing Zhou Yuanyuan's pure eyes that seemed to see through everything, Qian Yuxin slowly walked into the room and sat down opposite Zhou Yuanyuan.
Suddenly, Qian Yuxin had the desire to talk. Everything that had happened in the Qian family over the years had been kept in her heart. She dared not tell anyone, not even her beloved husband Yu Xiaohan.
Qian Yuxin had always been kindhearted. Over the years, she had watched Qian Dabao change servants one after another in order to tinker with the Qian family's feng shui formations. Although she felt Qian Dabao was wrong to do so, he simply ignored her words. After Qian Yucheng's death, Qian Dabao consulted a Taoist priest, who assured him that the Qian family's legacy would not be broken.
Will the Qian family's legacy be unbroken? Qian Dabao now values the family's feng shui formation even more. Unfortunately, Qian Dabao's women have changed one after another, and none of them have been able to bear him a child. Qian Yuxin feels that her loving father has changed, becoming a cold-blooded animal who disregards others for his own survival.
Qian Yuxin attempted suicide at the age of fifteen. Watching Qian Dabao, possessed by a demon, and their once peaceful life transformed into a shambles, Qian Yuxin attempted suicide by slitting her wrists. Unfortunately, Qian Yuxin couldn't die. The wounds on her hands would heal quickly, and the pain would be passed on to her "little devil" brother.
Looking at Qian Yuxin who failed to commit suicide, Qian Dabao laughed and said, "Yuxin, it's useless. Daddy used that gem to exchange with the Taoist priest for a lifetime of peace and wealth for our family. We will not die before our lifespan ends."
After Qian Dabao finished laughing, he started crying again. While crying, Qian Dabao muttered words like "I was cheated" and "liar".
Qian Yuxin was terrified. This was the first time she had seen Qian Dabao like this. No matter how much she asked, Qian Dabao refused to say a word. He just said, "Just hang in there! When the day comes for you to die, you'll naturally be free."
Qian Yuxin didn't dare to commit suicide again. She thought she had become a "monster" that could never die.
After Yu Xiaohan was tricked by Master Dingyuan to come to Hong Kong Island, Qian Yuxin, according to Qian Dabao's request, pretended to be a spoiled rich girl and fell in love with Xiaohan at first sight.
Qian Yuxin thought Yu Xiaohan would be like Qian Dabao's other women and would be seduced by the Qian family's wealth. However, Yu Xiaohan rejected Qian Dabao's proposal to marry him, and Qian Yuxin was relieved.
After marrying Yu Xiaohan, Qian Yuxin was moved by his gentleness and thoughtfulness. Not wanting to harm him, she sought to get him out of the Qian family. During that time, Qian Yuxin displayed her fierce and unruly nature. Unfortunately, Yu Xiaohan remained unmoved, pursuing his own aspirations. For Xiaohan, Qian Dabao's "gratitude" allowed him to tolerate Qian Yuxin's every move.
Qian Dabao soon discovered Qian Yuxin's little trick and threatened her that if she didn't obey, he would tell Yu Xiaohan that she was a "monster".
Qian Yuxin compromised. She didn't want Yu Xiaohan to hate her, and she didn't dare to do anything tricky. She just thought desperately: Let's just live one day at a time!
After Qian Dabao's death, Qian Yuxin wanted to let Yu Xiaohan go. To this end, Qian Yuxin specially consulted Master Dingyuan to find out what would happen to those whose luck was sucked away by the Feng Shui array?
Master Dingyuan only said three words: poverty, illness, and death.
Mike, the first victim of the Qian family's feng shui formation, resigned from the Qian family and returned to his hometown. He died of illness less than a year later. Master Dingyuan even produced a photo of Mike a few days before his death. He was so emaciated that he looked as if he would collapse at the slightest breeze.
After hearing Master Dingyuan's three-word comment and seeing Mike's dying expression, Qian Yuxin's heart felt like it had sunk into an ice cellar. She loved Yu Xiaohan, and she still thought that now that her father was dead, she was the only one left in the Qian family, oh, and there was also her brother, that ghost. She no longer needed any feng shui formations, and was willing to let Yu Xiaohan go and live his own life.
Qian Yuxin shuddered at the thought that the once prosperous Yu Xiaohan would eventually die of poverty and illness like Michael. She asked Master Dingyuan to find a way to sever Yu Xiaohan's luck from the Qian family's feng shui formation.
Master Dingyuan shook his head and ignored Qian Yuxin.
Qian Yuxin didn't know that Master Dingyuan was specially sent by the Taoist to the Qian family in order to protect Qian Dabao and Qian Yuxin and ensure that they died naturally after their lifespans. This was to fulfill the Taoist's promise to Qian Dabao, "The family will live in wealth and peace throughout their lives." How could he help Qian Yuxin destroy the feng shui formation?
Qian Yuxin sat across from Zhou Yuanyuan and spoke for two hours before she briefly recounted everything that had happened over the years. Some of the events were things she had witnessed, while others were pieces she had pieced together from her imagination after hearing Qian Dabao's stories.
After listening to Qian Yuxin's story, Zhou Yuanyuan was speechless for a long time.
Zhou Yuanyuan originally thought that Qian Dabao had set up this feng shui formation to attract people's luck in order to get rich. She never expected that Qian Dabao had contrived to lure Yu Xiaohan into the Qian family as his son-in-law in order to avoid his enemies.
For a seemingly ordinary black stone, Qian Dabao's family had died, some had died, others had committed crimes. Was it Qian Dabao's stupidity that was to blame? Or was it the Taoist who had dragged Qian Dabao and his family down with him? What kind of stone could have motivated a cultivator to go to such lengths to seize it? Zhou Yuanyuan was curious. Now, she understood that the term "Xuanmen master" meant a cultivator.
"Master, Master, Xiaoyu knows. It must be Kongming." Xiaoyu's voice echoed in Zhou Yuanyuan's mind. The stone that could absorb ghost energy and communicate with people—in Xiaoyu's memory, only her good friend Kongming could do this. But, wasn't Kongming in the Lingxiao Realm? How did he end up here?
"Kongming?" Zhou Yuanyuan was a little confused again. Xiaoyu had so many friends! Chaos Pearl, Qiankun Mirror, Kongming Stone, why did it feel like they were all crowded together?
"Ms. Yuanyuan, I know you should also be a master of Xuanmen. Everything in my Qian family is due to the Xuanmen treasures. Can you agree to one of my requests because I am about to die?" Before Xiaoyu and Zhou Yuanyuan could communicate, Qian Yuxin pleaded with Zhou Yuanyuan.
"About to die? Your life span is not over yet, you will not die." Zhou Yuanyuan glanced at Qian Yuxin and shook her head.
"My brother's death means the whole situation is broken. Miss Yuanyuan doesn't want to kill me anymore?" Qian Yuxin looked at Zhou Yuanyuan with a look of surprise. Qian Yuxin thought Zhou Yuanyuan would let her die. After all, the Qian family had harmed so many people. Even if Zhou Yuanyuan asked Qian Yuxin to die as an apology, Qian Yuxin would not say a word.
