Stealing skills is a big taboo in the Feng Shui profession. Because Peng Yuanlu did not do things in a genuine way, he kept giving in and took the initiative to avoid several conflicts.
But the boy from that family was not someone who knew how to show mercy to others. In the last test, he plotted against Peng Yuanlu and wanted to take the opportunity to kill him, but he didn't expect to be seen through and used the same trick against him.
The young man from the noble family was seriously injured, and two of his companions died on the spot.
But Peng Yuanlu was not able to escape unscathed. He was seriously injured at the time and finally managed to get eighth place after trying his best.
According to his strength at that time, it should not be a problem for him to be ranked in the top five. However, whether a self-taught person would be allowed to rank ahead of the aristocratic families depended on whether they agreed.
The two sides became completely enemies because of this incident.
However, it is said that there is a hidden story here. The young man from the noble family would have died at that time, but Peng Yuanlu saved him. Unfortunately, he did not appreciate it.
Therefore, Li Boyuan had a very high opinion of Peng Yuanlu.
Although many Feng Shui families look down on each other, they will definitely stick together if someone really touches their interests.
Many disciples from aristocratic families are hostile to Peng Yuanlu, which is why among so many people participating in the Feng Shui Master Competition, only a few are willing to talk to him.
Forget about talking, not tripping someone up is showing mercy.
The participants of the competition came in two boats. After everyone arrived, the organizers appeared again.
"Everyone must have worked hard along the way. There are people living on this island, and we've prepared accommodations for everyone. With your number plate, you can move right in. Remember not to wander around, or we won't be able to control anything that happens. The next match starts tomorrow morning. I hope everyone gets a good rest tonight and gives their best tomorrow!"
The host who was speaking was Qiao Hongda, an elder of the Tianhe Sect. He was chubby and had a friendly look on his face. However, once he stopped smiling, his chubby face showed a bit of majesty.
After the participants arrived here, they felt that the situation on the island might be unusual, but now was not the time for the assessment, so they could only follow the people from the village who came to pick them up to find their own place to rest.
Wei Mian walked in the team with a normal expression, observing her surroundings calmly. Ever since she stepped onto the island, she had a sense of discomfiture, and she was afraid that this assessment would not be easy.
Zheng Hao and Liang Haoran followed Wei Mian on the left and right, not giving anyone else any chance to get close.
The country roads are always bumpy and full of weeds, but fortunately the three of them were wearing sports equipment, so they walked lightly and without a trace of embarrassment.
As for the others, they were wearing all kinds of clothes. Feng shui masters in Hong Kong like to wear suits, so many of them were dressed like that.
There was also a woman wearing a red slim dress and had long wavy hair. She looked a little embarrassed because she had lost her high heels in the previous game that morning, and now she had changed into flat sandals.
But when walking on the dirt roads in the countryside in sandals, you will always be hurt by the gravel that accidentally gets into your shoes. You have to stop and shake them off every once in a while, and your speed becomes the slowest.
Wei Mian walked in the front middle position and quickly found the place where he would stay that night according to the number plate.
The houses in this village are all dilapidated and have been abandoned for who knows how many years. Now they have been cleaned up and given to these people to live in.
It can be seen that the house was of good quality before, but because no one had lived in it for so long, many of the tiles on the roof were broken, and there were thick spider webs under the window sills. Even in the yard surrounded by the half-collapsed wall, weeds grew half a person's height.
Seeing this environment, everyone had the same thought: it seemed like there was no need to sleep tonight.
Fortunately, we are all practitioners, so not only can we not sleep for one night, but even if we don’t sleep for several days in a row, it’s no big deal, and the same goes for meditating at night.
There were only four women among all the people participating in the assessment. Naturally, the four of them were assigned to the same house, two people in each room, including the woman in the red dress.
When the woman learned that she had to live in such a shabby place, she immediately complained.
"What a lousy place! I need to take a shower. How can anyone live here?"
Zhong Miaoyi looked at the half-human-high grass in the yard and realized that she had to go to the dry toilet that was about to collapse at any time. She felt even more annoyed and frowned.
"The grass is so tall, there might be snakes. What if they crawl out and bite people at night? I said it would be the same if I come here tomorrow. Why do you have to go to such a deserted place..."
Zhong Miaoyi was about to continue speaking when she saw Zhong Shuo, who always had a kind face, turned around and looked at her.
At this moment, Zhong Shuo no longer had the kindness he had on the top of the mountain. Although he was still smiling, there was no warmth in his pair of eyes that were full of brilliance. Just one glance made Zhong Miaoyi shut up.
Zhong Miaoyi is also a member of the Zhong family, but not from Zhong Shuo's branch. She is Zhong Shuo's niece. However, as a member of a prominent family, the depth of family affection depends on your achievements.
If you're nothing, then the rest of us are just doing it for your face.
Zhong Shuo usually seems to have a good temper and rarely gets angry, but Zhong Miaoyi doesn't know why, she is always afraid of this big guy.
Now that she had stopped making trouble, the four of them could clean up their own sleeping areas.
"Master?"
Liang Haoran and the others went in, and then he lowered his voice and spoke.
Seeing Wei Mian looking over, he looked around more cautiously and continued in a low voice,
"I think the feng shui of this place is not right."
But he couldn't tell what was wrong exactly, but he always had a vague sense of unease in his heart. This feeling had been there since he set foot on the island, and he subconsciously wanted to ask Wei Mian for his opinion.
Wei Mian nodded, but didn't agree with him. Instead, he said, "There must be a lot of mosquitoes in this place. You won't be able to sleep well at night. Why don't you meditate and get enough energy for the competition tomorrow."
Liang Haoran moved his lips, noticed the gaze coming from the other side, nodded slightly, and left with Zheng Hao.
Wei Mian looked away when he saw them go to another house a few dozen meters away. But before entering the yard, he turned back to glance at the mountain that looked particularly dark in the twilight.
Wei Mian seemed to have seen something, but also seemed to have seen nothing. He quickly withdrew his gaze and walked into the courtyard with a normal expression.
The four girls who took the test included Wei Mian and Zhong Miaoyi, who was wearing a red dress. The other two were Wu Manman, who was about thirty years old, and Cai Muling, who had a cold face.
Wu Manman's father is Southeast Asian and her mother is Japanese, but she grew up in Hong Kong and speaks fluent Chinese.
Women in the Taoist sect don’t look their age, so Wu Manman looks to be in her early thirties, but she is actually forty years old. She is thin and speaks softly, and one can tell at a glance that she is a woman with a gentle temperament.
Cai Muling is the complete opposite. She is the daughter of the elder of Tianhe Sect and is a famous ice beauty. She is not nice to anyone in her own sect, let alone outsiders like them.
Among the four, she could only say a few words to Zhong Miaoyi, and completely ignored Wei Mian and Wu Manman.
It’s better to ignore it. There are exactly two rooms in this house, two people in one, so they won’t disturb each other.
