Chapter 379 The Tool of the Modern World, 18th Rank 18



Hearing Fang Yuan's greeting, he glanced at Fang Yuan a few times before speaking:

"You are Fang Yuan's younger sister, and I am your older cousin Fang Qi. I am very happy that you have returned to the Fang family."

Although I had some doubts yesterday that Fang Yuan hadn't studied well, she is, after all, my younger sister.

She is quite well-behaved, and he still hopes to teach her properly again.

"Thank you, brother. I'm also very happy to be back!" Fang Yuan replied with a smile.

This older cousin has a CEO-like presence and is quite good-looking.

She said she was happy to have such a relative.

"Our whole family is finally all together again," Uncle Fang exclaimed.

Fang Cheng looked at the group and suddenly spoke up:

"Brother, you don't know, my sister is much better than you. She just works part-time selling instruments at a music store, and she's already learned most of them."

Fang Cheng looked at his older brother, who always seemed to be above him, and emphasized again.

After all, this older brother always thought he was stupid, and he wanted to show him that there are always people more capable than him.

Fang Qi: "Seventy or eighty percent?"

“She can play almost any instrument in the music store,” Fang Cheng replied.

"Second brother, although I can play those instruments, I haven't taken any formal exams, so please stop praising me," Fang Yuan couldn't help but say.

"You can do all of them? Then you're definitely better than me." Fang Qi readily admitted.

After all, Fang Yuan's records show that she always did very well in school and consistently received scholarships.

I never expected that she could learn so many musical instruments while working; that's truly something extraordinary.

"I've only learned a few things, it's not as exaggerated as Second Brother said," Fang Yuan replied modestly again.

Then she opened a small wooden box she had brought:

"I didn't prepare anything for our first meeting. This is a small wooden sword that I made myself, to give to my uncle, aunt, and older brother. They can ward off evil spirits."

Inside the box were three small wooden swords, and she had thoughtfully attached hanging ropes to them.

Fang Qi frowned as he looked at the three small wooden swords that Fang Yuan had taken out.

I called her a liar yesterday, and today she's delivered a little wooden sword to my house?

Fang Cheng, however, looked at the three free wooden swords that had been delivered to his door and felt incredibly envious.

"You're just giving away this wooden sword like that? I spent a lot of money to buy this one."

Fang Yuan smiled:

"Weren't we strangers before? Besides, I helped you out, so it's not unreasonable for me to take some money!"

Fang Yuan looked at him with a serious expression.

Her uncle and grandmother also received this wooden sword, so what's wrong with treating them all the same?

"That's true. I really owe you a lot, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to finish filming this drama." Fang Cheng nodded in understanding.

Fang Yuan glanced at the expressions of the people in the room. Apart from Fang Cheng, none of them seemed to care much about her little wooden sword.

After she put it down, she deliberately said, "Actually, Second Brother, you've come out on top. It was the same as saving a life, but I helped my uncle, and he gave me a big apartment in return!"

"Really? I knew you were the one who helped Uncle Liao. You're really amazing!" Fang Cheng nodded and smiled smugly.

"Was it really you who helped over there?" Aunt He Qi asked curiously.

Their conversation piqued her interest.

Not only her, but Uncle Fang and Fang Qi also became interested and came over to look.

"Xiaoyuan, tell me, what was the situation with your uncle back then? His bad luck even made it to the trending topics."

Aunt sat down next to Fang Yuan, intending to hear the inside story from him.

Fang Yuan chuckled:

"It's nothing, someone tricked me into burying something in my house, and I helped them find it!"

Although both sides are relatives, she couldn't go into details about her uncle's side of the story.

"Fang Cheng said you can see those things? How did you see them? What's the situation with those things?" Fang's father asked curiously.

He was genuinely curious about Fang Yuan's ability to see those things.

After all, it seems that the Fang family has never produced such a prodigy.

Well, the Mu family doesn't have any either.

"How should I put it? I was able to see it after an accident when I was a child, and it's actually a special kind of energy. I can see these energies, including a person's luck."

As Fang Yuan spoke, he looked around at the group of people and then described their fortunes one by one.

"Uncle, your luck is white with a hint of purple. Purple is auspicious. Your luck has been very good so far. You are destined for great wealth and honor."

Then he glanced at his aunt and frowned:

“Aunt’s luck is platinum with a hint of gray. I suggest that Aunt go to the hospital for a full check-up, especially your lungs.”

Gray represents something bad, but she doesn't actually know what it is.

But she has a system, which just scanned her body and found a small tumor, which is fortunately small and benign.

"Huh? Is there something wrong with my body?"

He Qi never expected that there would be a problem with her body, but she didn't feel anything at all.

I didn't really care.

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem. It might require a minor surgery," Fang Yuan reassured her.

She could actually cure it, but she's just a poor student right now.

Surely medical skills can't be explained by what you learned from working at the Holy Body School?

"Okay, I'll go to the hospital to get checked out in a couple of days!"

Although He Qi didn't care much, she didn't say anything directly.

Fang Yuan could tell that she didn't care, so he didn't pay any attention.

He looked at Fang Qi again, staring at him for a long time before frowning once more: "Brother, has your company encountered any problems recently?"

She hadn't noticed it before, but after careful observation, she discovered that the person's luck was actually flowing outwards.

It was very thin, but it was definitely leaking out; she wouldn't have noticed it if she hadn't observed it for a long time.

"Um?"

Fang Qi was taken aback by Fang Yuan's words and asked in return, "Why do you say that?"

He did miss one deal in the last couple of days, but so far there haven't been any major problems, so he hasn't paid much attention to it.

“Your luck is flowing out, which means things are definitely not going well at the company. Judging from the rate of loss, I suspect someone is stealing your luck.”

If one's fortune simply dissipates, that's one thing, but there's a thin thread within his fortune that flies directly outwards.

This is clearly not normal.

"What? Someone stole his luck?"

Upon hearing this, He Qi looked at Fang Yuan anxiously: "Yuan Yuan, are you sure your older brother's luck has been stolen? You have to help him!"

For mothers, things that involve themselves are usually not a big deal, but when it comes to their children, it becomes a matter of life and death.

So this aunt was even more worried than if she had heard that she herself had a problem.

"How could someone steal your luck? Can I take a look?" Mr. Fang asked, frowning.

He didn't know if Fang Yuan was talking nonsense, but when it came to his son, he became more serious.

"Luck is something that ordinary people can't see, and I don't know any Taoist priests, so I really can't let you see it."

Fang Yuan shook his head, but then added, "However, if one's luck is borrowed, everything will go wrong for them."

"That's why I asked my older brother how the company is doing lately, to confirm when it started."

Fang Qi raised an eyebrow again, "I only lost one project recently, the others..."

He thought about it carefully.

Lately, things haven't been going well for me.

"Is that so? That's good. It must have only just begun, and your luck is quite good. It's impossible for them to borrow all of your luck in a short time."

As she looked down at the wooden box in front of her, her eyes lit up, and she pushed it towards him:

"Brother, let me take a look at the sword first."

Her wooden sword can ward off evil spirits; perhaps it will work?

Fang Qi looked at the wooden sword in the box and picked one up with some skepticism.

"This feels amazing!"

After getting the wooden sword, Fang Qi discovered that its material was unusual, somewhat resembling jade.

Moreover, the hand holding the wooden sword felt a subtle sense of comfort.

"This sword... is quite good!" It is indeed extraordinary.

He realized he had been too narrow-minded before, and only now did he begin to believe Fang Yuan's words to some extent.

After kneading for a while, he looked at Fang Yuan and asked, "And then?"

Fang Yuan stared at him for a while and found that his luck was still flowing out.

"This sword can ward off evil spirits, but it doesn't seem to have much effect on stealing luck."

After thinking for a moment, she reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder, activating her purification ability.

"Huh~"

Fang Qi felt a particularly comfortable energy flowing from Fang Yuan's hand into his body.

It made him feel refreshed and relaxed, and his previously tired expression instantly became clear.

Five minutes later, Fang Yuan dejectedly lowered his hand.

"It's still no use!"

Seeing Fang Yuan lower his hand, Fang Qi smiled instead.

"Now I believe you are truly capable. That energy just now made me feel very comfortable. Little sister, I apologize for my previous prejudice!"

He was prejudiced before; this younger sister is truly capable.

"Unfortunately, my abilities seem to be lacking, after all, I am not a professional Taoist priest," Fang Yuan replied, spreading his hands.

"It's okay, take it slow. Things haven't been going well at my company lately. I always thought it was just a coincidence, but I never expected that I would be the one being schemed against."

Thinking about Mu Qingyan's situation.

He wondered if someone had recently come to Fengcheng to try and ruin them.

Hearing this, He Qi sat down next to Fang Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, could you please think of a solution? Or do you know anyone who can help you?"

Now that her eldest son has been framed, her heart is in turmoil.

Fang Yuan shook his head: "Aunt, I'm just a student, I don't know anyone."

Her predecessor must have visited temples before, but she didn't.

Moreover, most temples and Taoist temples nowadays are fake, offering little more than psychological comfort.

"I felt great just now, my mind was clear and my senses were sharp, so why isn't that resolved?"

Fang Qi became somewhat curious; the energy Fang Yuan had just unleashed was definitely extraordinary.

Even they couldn't get rid of that thing that was stealing his luck?

"My energy can only dispel the bad luck on you, but your luck is still leaking out. It's just a temporary fix."

Even her purification abilities couldn't stop the loss of fortune, which shows that this thing is indeed quite magical.

"So you mean we need to find the source, right?" Fang Cheng said.

He was, after all, one of the people who made this film; he'd heard plenty of stories about seeking cause and effect.

"That's right, and in this situation, it's likely that your personal information, such as your birth date and time, has been leaked."

"Since you can see the ones that floated away first, why don't we just go find the culprit?" Fang Cheng said again.

"ah?"

Fang Yuan looked at his brother, who had quite the wild imagination, with a puzzled expression.

"Didn't you just say you could see everyone's luck? Then let my brother take you out to meet the people he's been in contact with recently, and see who has borrowed that luck."

"Wow~ Second Brother, you're amazing! This method is great!" Fang Yuan nodded.

"Once we identify the person, we should be able to resolve the issue by finding the relevant media outlet."

“Great, does this solve the problem?” He Qi asked.

"It should be fine. I'll keep helping my brother get rid of his bad luck during this time. We'll definitely find the guy who borrowed the luck." Fang Yuan nodded.

After pondering for a moment, Fang Qi asked, "I recently lost a big project. Do you think the beneficiary of that project might be the one who started it all?"

“That’s quite possible! That person is definitely the prime suspect!” Fang Cheng said without hesitation.

That's obvious, isn't it? After all, the luck has been borrowed, so the beneficiary is quite clear.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Xiaoyuan to come out with me tomorrow." Fang Qi nodded and looked at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan gave an OK sign: "No problem!"

Since she's free tomorrow anyway, she might as well help this guy out.

After the group had finished discussing the matter, Fang's father looked at Fang Yuan:

"Thank you, child. The Fang family failed to protect you. Instead, you've come back and are still worrying about your brother. It's my fault as your uncle."

Uncle Fang then handed over a card that he had prepared beforehand:

"This is a gift from your uncle to you as we meet. Please take it!"

"No need, Uncle, I don't need these now." Fang Yuan waved his hand and refused.

"This is a gift from your uncle, a token of our appreciation!" Uncle Fang said earnestly, leaving no room for refusal.

“That’s right, just take it. It’s rare for my dad to give me money willingly, so don’t try to save him any!” Fang Cheng picked up the card and put it in Fang Yuan’s arms.

Why not take it? Besides, my sister just got back, so I should give her some pocket money.

"Then thank you, Uncle!" Fang Yuan accepted the gift with a smile.

"That's right, it's only right that elders give us New Year's money!"

Uncle Fang looked at the small wooden sword on the table as he spoke:

"So this wooden sword can really ward off evil spirits?"

He picked up a small wooden sword, and it did feel very comfortable in his hand.

“Yes, this is thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood, and its effect in warding off evil spirits is extremely powerful.” Fang Yuan nodded.

Not only can it ward off evil spirits, it can also kill those things!

The prerequisite is that you can see it and find it!
