Chapter 1090: Offending Tai Sui

Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: Offending Tai Sui

The next day, the sudden visit of two people caught you off guard.

"Liu Yiming? Luo Pan? What are you doing in the Eastern Sea?"

You looked at the two men, sporting a black eye and a look of surprise.

Liu Yiming and Luo Pan exchanged glances, and the latter immediately put on a smile: "Well, the Old Sect Master said, he wants the Young Master to make a trip to Yenjing soon and get ready for the succession work as Sect Leader."

Right then, Xiao Feng happened to walk out of the house, clutching a big, thick cucumber in his hand.

You casually broke off half from his grip and began to chew vigorously, chattering away and spraying bits of spittle: "Logically speaking, shouldn’t the focal point of sect operations move along with wherever the Sect Leader is?"

Liu Yiming and Luo Pan looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise, as they hadn’t expected you to say such a thing.

Liu Yiming said with some difficulty: "But ever since the Chu Sect returned to China, for the past few decades, the center of the Chu Sect has always been in Yenjing."

Xiao Feng, annoyed, also talking while spitting out bits: "Dude, are you dumb? That place Yenjing, sandstorms visit a few times a year, not to mention the smog that could choke you to death; how can it compare to the Eastern Sea? Besides, Yenjing is full of old men and women. Us young folks going there, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?"

Luo Pan, hearing this, actually nodded his head deeply: "It seems there’s some logic to that. Yenjing has a complicated web of power. Comparatively, it seems much cleaner water here in the Eastern Sea."

"We have considered this point too, but suddenly relocating everyone seems to be a bit difficult."

You stepped in front of Liu Yiming and patted him on the shoulder: "There will always be difficulties in anything, but we can’t let current difficulties stop us. Besides, a new era needs the signs of a new era. Yenjing, that’s too old."

Anyone with a bit of sense could understand the implications of your words.

Liu Yiming and Luo Pan looked at each other once more and nodded simultaneously: "Understood, we will relay your thoughts to the Old Sect Master when we return."

Eventually, both of them fell into silence.

"What’s the matter, is there anything else?"

Honestly, if it wasn’t for delving into the Secret techniques of the Eight Gates left by Emperor Ditian, you couldn’t be bothered to manage Chu Sect affairs.

The Chu Sect and the supernatural detective society were different; the former had a heritage of more than three thousand years, with internal forces intertwined complicatedly and obvious strife between factions. From your perspective, it was simply a mess. You didn’t have the time, nor the experience to manage it.

Liu Yiming turned to Luo Pan and said: "You’ve got a thicker skin than me, you tell him."

Luo Pan glared at Liu Yiming bitterly, and thinking of Liu Yiming’s nature, he finally spoke up: "Actually, we came this time to ask the Sect Leader to take us in."

"Take in? What do you mean?"

"We just want to follow the Sect Leader..."

"No, definitely not!" You hastily interrupted, stretching out your hand, "With a muddled person like me, if you sons of prestigious families were to follow me, you’d end up like that dude behind me."

Saying so, you pointed at Xiao Feng: "See? This dude was also a son of a wealthy family, but look at him now, he’s turned into a total Dios. Have you ever seen a suave, gentlemanly brother nibbling on a cucumber first thing in the morning?"

While saying this, you took another bite of the cucumber, continuing to eat and spit out spittle.

Liu Yiming let out a soft sigh: "I knew it would turn out like this."

"But, don’t overthink it. Now that I’ve become the Master of Chu Sect, you guys are my brothers. If there are issues you can’t resolve in the future, just come to the Supernatural Detective Agency, we’ll give you an internal discount."

You step forward, wrapping an arm around Liu Yiming and Luo Pan’s shoulders, sending them off with a cheerful smile.

Just as you turn around, Xiao Feng tosses something your way.

You catch it casually and look at it—it’s Ye Xiao’s car keys.

"Let’s go, the piece of land you’ve been asking about, Xu Hai has already found it, we might as well head over now." Xiao Feng dug at his ear and sighed, "Aunt Ying’s telekinesis is truly overwhelming, it’s like a bombardment. I seriously can’t stand it, hurry up and build the house!"

You slung an arm around Xiao Feng’s shoulder with a cheeky grin, and said cheerfully, "As expected of a good brother, tackling the most troublesome matter for me first thing in the morning."

"Hmph, because of this, that bastard Xu Hai totally swindled me."

"Heh heh heh..."

The location Xu Hai found for you is quite in line with your requirements.

This place is conveniently located—not quite out of the way but nestled on a hillside, with several villages lying at the base of the hill.

When you arrive, driving, you can’t help raising your eyebrows, while Xiao Feng’s lips curl into a slight smile, saying, "Just as I thought, the world doesn’t have such good deals come by easily."

"For others, it might be bad news, but in my hands, heh heh, it’s like manna from heaven."

This is already an estate; there’s a tall wall built around the perimeter of the estate, but the interior buildings are only half-constructed, with many areas just frosted with cement and not even a brick or tile in sight.

Xu Hai’s car is parked inside the estate, and he’s currently talking to a middle-aged man with glasses.

Seeing the car coming in, Xu Hai waves at you.

"President Wei, this is our Chairman."

The middle-aged man comes forward with a smile and extends his hand.

After shaking hands with him, the middle-aged man introduces himself, "Hello, Chairman Li, my name is Weilin Min, and I am the owner of this estate."

You nod slightly and scan the surroundings with a smile, "The environment here is pleasant, but it seems to be the home to some troublesome things as well."

Weilin Min nods earnestly.

You say to Weilin Min, "President Wei, please outline the problems for me. Even though the estate is yet to be completed, with my current financial status, there is no way I can afford it."

"Chairman Li is too modest. Your Supernatural Detective Agency is known for making a fortune every day, and in Yuhang and Eastern Sea, virtually anyone with any capability knows of your existence. Many have been helped by you, more or less."

Xu Hai cuts in, "President Wei, let’s be frank. Our Boss isn’t like those sons of aristocratic families; he values efficiency in his work. Let’s skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point."

Weilin Min nods, "I won’t deceive you, Chairman Li. Our family is in the building materials business. My great-grandfather participated in the war resistance and was part of the Red Camp, so our business has been smooth sailing. However, our family has a traditional decree, so the members are rather low-key, seldom making public appearances. We are only known within certain specific circles. Two years ago, my granduncle returned from overseas, wishing to settle down back in the homeland, so I started looking for a residence for him. With a friend’s referral, we bought this mountain and started building the estate here."

"Are you supervising the construction of the estate?" asked Xiao Feng.

Weilin Min shook his head, "It’s my cousin. He was born and raised in England, finding it quite difficult to adapt to our local customs and has committed many taboos regarding feng shui."

You chuckle, "The feng shui isn’t a big deal. The problem isn’t that you’ve violated some taboos, but that you’ve offended the Tai Sui."
