Chapter 278: Chapter 278: The Feng Shui Conflict

Upon hearing Chen Xuan’s response, Mr. Sleeping Dragon showed a smug expression. "Very well!"

"Say it, how do you want to compete?" Chen Xuan asked.

Mr. Sleeping Dragon said, "The rule is very simple, within three days, as long as you can find a place within Huai City that has better Feng Shui than Jiulong Mountain, you win!"

"Jiulong Mountain?!" Everyone was stunned.

Even though the crowd had little knowledge about Feng Shui, they all knew that Jiulong Mountain was a famously auspicious Feng Shui site in Huai City!

Years ago, it was said that rainbow-coloured auspicious clouds even appeared atop Jiulong Mountain, a sight that left everyone in awe.

The rule Mr. Sleeping Dragon had set might sound simple, but in reality, it was extremely complex.

Not to mention the clueless, even for those well-versed in Feng Shui, finding a place with better Feng Shui than Jiulong Mountain was as difficult as ascending to heaven!

For a moment, despair filled the hearts of the Han Family.

Chen Xuan’s expression was also grave, but in the end, he nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll give you an answer in three days."

Mr. Sleeping Dragon’s face showed satisfaction, "Good, we’ll decide the winner in three days."

Madam Han thought of something and quickly asked, "Mr. Sleeping Dragon, this matter of Feng Shui is profound and unpredictable, how shall the result be determined when the time comes?!"

Everyone else also shared the same question.

After all, Feng Shui is an enigmatic concept, and no one could be certain about it.

If by then Chen Xuan did find a better Feng Shui site, but Mr. Sleeping Dragon insisted it wasn’t as good as Jiulong Mountain, to whom could they appeal for justice?

Mr. Sleeping Dragon smiled faintly and spoke mysteriously, "Rest assured, Feng Shui is not child’s play, there is definitely a fair method to it. As for what that method is, you’ll know when the time comes!"

Having said that, Mr. Sleeping Dragon turned to leave but cast a meaningful glance at Feng Bao before he went.

Feng Bao immediately understood, and over a dozen gun barrels pointed at Han Jingting, who was then directly kidnapped.

"Chen Xuan!" Han Jingting exclaimed in shock.

Chen Xuan’s face instantly turned ice-cold, "What do you want to do!"

Mr. Sleeping Dragon’s expression remained calm, "Don’t misunderstand, I’m just inviting your wife over as a guarantee. In three days, if you can beat me, I promise to return her to you unharmed!"

Chen Xuan was furiously angry.

How dare Mr. Sleeping Dragon take Han Jingting as a hostage; he was seeking death!

In an instant, a powerful murderous intent spread, and the temperature inside the ancestral hall dropped by more than ten degrees in a matter of moments.

The Peach Blossom Needle in his cuff buzzed, poised to strike, ready to harvest lives at any moment!

Mr. Sleeping Dragon just laughed coldly, "Perhaps you could try, and see whether you killing me, or me killing her, would be faster?"

Chen Xuan clenched his fists, his eyes blood-red.

He was very aware of the formidable strength of Mr. Sleeping Dragon.

Moreover, there were also over a dozen guns with Feng Bao and the others.

Under such circumstances, there was simply no chance for Chen Xuan to rescue Han Jingting from their hands.

Chen Xuan absolutely could not risk Han Jingting’s life.

"Remember, if anything happens to her in these three days, I’ll make everyone here pay with their lives!" Chen Xuan said, looking at Mr. Sleeping Dragon with a cold voice.

Mr. Sleeping Dragon smiled indifferently, "Don’t worry, my word has always been as good as gold!"

"Jingting, be at ease, I will definitely rescue you in three days!" Chen Xuan said, looking at Han Jingting with a pang of heartache.

Their relationship had only recently improved and they had already planned to remarry, but he had not anticipated such an event would occur.

Afterwards, Mr. Sleeping Dragon and Feng Bao left the old residence, taking Han Jingting with them.

"Remember, in three days, whether you admit defeat or lose, your Han Family will be annihilated!" The warning of Mr. Sleeping Dragon still echoed from outside the door.

After Sleeping Dragon and his party left, the Han Family members finally let out a long sigh of relief.

During the confrontation with Sleeping Dragon, they truly felt as if they had crossed through the gates of hell.

Now that they had narrowly escaped calamity, all the members of the Han Family turned their spears towards Chen Xuan.

"Chen Xuan, are you sick in the head or something? Why did you accept Sleeping Dragon’s challenge?"

"Exactly, don’t you know your own strength? Competing with Sleeping Dragon, what’s the difference between that and seeking death?"

"Our entire Han Family is going to be ruined because of you! As a son-in-law who joined our family, you’re nothing but the star of calamity for our Han Family!"

One by one, the members of the Han Family were emotionally charged, pushing all the blame onto Chen Xuan.

Hearing their words, Chen Xuan was so angry that he laughed.

Just now, in the face of Sleeping Dragon’s threat, no one from the Han Family dared to speak out except for Han Jingting.

Now that he had taken on the burden of the challenge for them, far from being grateful, they were full of complaints against him.

He had truly experienced the Han Family members’ tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong!

At this moment, Han Chengye also stood up and shouted at Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan, since you have agreed to Sleeping Dragon’s challenge, then you should bear this matter alone!"

"Remember, if you lose the competition, don’t drag us down with you!"

Immediately, Han Chengye’s words earned the agreement of the other family members, "That’s right, that’s right! You caused this mess, you should clean it up; don’t expect us to wipe your ass!"

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, "I’m dragging you down?"

"When grandmother was almost beaten to death by Sleeping Dragon earlier, only Jingting stood up to protect her; where were all of you then?"

"We..." the family members were at a loss for words.

Chen Xuan continued, "Sleeping Dragon made it very clear just now, if no one accepted the challenge, the entire Han Family would be exterminated immediately."

"Since you are all so eloquent, why didn’t you reason with Sleeping Dragon back then?"

The family members were once again rendered speechless, unable to respond.

Chen Xuan sneered, "And now you dare say that I’m dragging you down? Perhaps I should have been ten minutes late. I just wonder whether you would still be alive then to talk to me!"

The family members were overwhelmed with shame.

Han Chengye, infuriated by embarrassment, retorted, "As the son-in-law who joined our Han Family, it is your duty to stand up for us!"

The family members were also very dissatisfied.

"Exactly, with your level of skill, there’s no way you can beat Sleeping Dragon. In the end, won’t we all die just the same?"

"You haven’t been able to help at all, yet you really consider yourself a hero!"

Hearing the family’s ridicule, Chen Xuan shook his head with a sneer.

These people of the Han Family were foolish and conceited, utterly unreasonable!

At this point, Madam Han suddenly roared, "All of you shut your mouths!"

The previously noisy ancestral hall fell silent in an instant.

Madam Han looked at Chen Xuan with a solemn expression, "Chen Xuan, tell me the truth, do you have any confidence in defeating Sleeping Dragon?"

Chen Xuan’s expression remained calm, "I have no confidence, but I will give it my all!"

Han Chengye and the others scoffed, about to retort with mockery, only to hear Chen Xuan speak again, "Perhaps any of you have a better plan? I’m all ears."

Those who were about to mock Chen Xuan didn’t dare to utter a sound.

They could criticize Chen Xuan, but when it came to coming up with a plan, they were at a loss.

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, showing his disdain, "Since there are no better ideas, then please keep your mouths shut!"

"Jingting is still in their hands, so in three days, I must win!"

After these words, Chen Xuan turned and left.
