Chapter 61: Chapter 61: The Secret of the Xiao Family

Huang Shiyin’s face was pale, and it took a while before she snapped back to reality, looking back in shock at Yang Yu who followed her out the door, "Mr. Yang, how did you know that the shelf would fall?"

"I know how to read fortunes." Yang Yu smiled, "Just now, I saw that you were destined for a bloody disaster, so I warned you. It’s because you are helping me with something, and I don’t want anything to happen to you. Normally, if someone comes to me for fortune-telling, the fee starts at a hundred thousand."

If someone had told Huang Shiyin in the past that they could predict the future, she would definitely have given them a slap in the face.

What era is it, to still use this kind of street swindler’s trick?

But today, having witnessed it with her own eyes, she couldn’t help but believe.

"Mr. Yang, thank you for saving my life." Huang Shiyin said, "I always reciprocate when someone does me a favor. Since you charge a hundred thousand for others, I’ll reduce that from your fee once my matter is settled, to express my gratitude."

"Alright." Yang Yu nodded and smiled, "You won’t have any trouble today, go ahead."

About physiognomy, Yang Yu could currently only foresee the dangers that might happen to someone within a day.

Unless it was a certain death situation like Wu Qiong’s, which could be mitigated to postpone the disaster for a while, Yang Yu could at most foresee one’s future fate, but not the specifics.

"It must be because the level of the ’Yin Yang Nine Mysterious Scripture’ isn’t high enough, otherwise, the physiognomy would at least predict calamities within ten days." Yang Yu sighed. If only Shen Silin could help him advance another level, alas!

Yang Yu returned to East Sea Garden and noticed a Bentley Mulsanne parked outside his home, which piqued his curiosity, "Who is this, parking their car in front of my house?"

"Mr. Yang, we meet again." As the car door opened, two women stepped out, it was Xiao Feng from Zhiyuan Car Shop and his old classmate Zhang Wenjing.

"So it’s Chairman Xiao who has come." Yang Yu looked Xiao Feng up and down, "Chairman Xiao, you look much improved, congratulations."

"That’s thanks to Mr. Yang." Xiao Feng smiled, "I did exactly as Mr. Yang suggested, and recovered so quickly."

"It was nothing." Yang Yu smiled faintly, "Chairman Xiao, what brings you to see me?"

"Mrs. Shen and I are good friends, she ordered a car from my shop for you. When I saw the owner’s name, I decided to deliver it along with Xiao Zhang." Xiao Feng said, "Xiao Zhang, give Mr. Yang the documents to sign."

"Sure, Chairman Xiao." Zhang Wenjing handed the documents to Yang Yu, who signed them without hesitation.

A gift from Mrs. Shen, why not take it, hehe!

"Xiao Zhang, go help Mr. Yang choose a license plate. I’ll wait for you here." Xiao Feng sent Zhang Wenjing away, then turned to Yang Yu, "Mr. Yang, could I trouble you for a cup of tea at your place?"

Yang Yu knew the serious talk was coming, so he nodded, "No problem, please come in."

After Yang Yu made the tea, Xiao Feng took a casual sip and started the serious conversation, "Mr. Yang, have you heard of the Xiao Family in Tianhai?"

"The Xiao Family, one of Tianhai’s top ten families?" Yang Yu nodded, "I’ve heard a bit about them."

"Our Xiao Family must be afflicted by some curse, the men in our family perish quickly, none living past fifty." Xiao Feng spoke of this matter with a face full of sorrow, "My grandfather and his brothers, my father and his brothers, none could overcome the barrier of fifty."

"My brother is forty-eight this year, extremely frail, and despite consulting many doctors and Feng Shui masters, it’s of no use. I’m afraid in a little over a year, he’ll end up just like my father..."

"Your family’s ancestors were tomb raiders, and the sins they committed naturally have to be borne by the descendants," Yang Yu said. Xiao Feng was completely shocked, "Mr. Yang, how... how did you know?"

This was the greatest secret of the Xiao family and the source of their immense wealth, unknown to outsiders what the Xiao family had relied on to amass their fortune.

Although the Xiao family had now gone legitimate, operating normal businesses, their initial capital still came from tomb raiding, and no amount of laundering could change that.

Yang Yu put on a mysterious demeanor, "That is something you don’t need to worry about."

Actually, the first time Yang Yu met Xiao Feng, he noticed the heavy aura of Yin around her, which was caused by the Feng Shui formation at Xiao Feng’s home.

The reason for this kind of Feng Shui formation was simple: such formations were set up by tomb-raiding families to ward off evil spirits.

Simply put, the Xiao family had set up the Feng Shui formation at home to seek psychological peace.

This type of Feng Shui formation didn’t affect men much, but it was extremely harmful to women.

Of course, this Feng Shui formation could not change the fate of the Xiao family men’s short lives, which was why Xiao Feng had specifically come to seek Yang Yu’s advice.

"Please keep this a secret for us," Xiao Feng, coming to her senses, looked at Yang Yu with newfound awe, "I suppose Mr. Yang has a way to help my brother, right? As long as Mr. Yang can aid my brother, money is no object."

"The best way is to use the money earned to perform good deeds and accumulate virtue," Yang Yu did not beat around the bush and expressed the solution directly, "Additionally, I can modify your family’s ancestral tomb for you. How long your brother can live depends on how many good deeds he performs."

"I understand, thank you, Mr. Yang." Xiao Feng took out a wooden box and carefully handed it to Yang Yu, "This is the Xiao Family’s heirloom; I hope Mr. Yang can find some time soon to help our family modify the ancestral tomb."

Xiao Feng was clever, using the term "gift," which made it seem less mercenary.

She knew Yang Yu was not a mercenary person, and when seeking help from such a person, it was best to leverage friendship.

Of course, friendship is friendship, but nobody minds a generous gift, right?

Yang Yu took the box, opened it, and gasped, "What a sinister dagger!"

Indeed, inside the box was a sheathed dagger.

The ancient scabbard was carved with a lifelike Vengeance, particularly the fierce eyes of the Vengeance, which seemed as though they could actually move.

Although Yang Yu had not unsheathed the dagger, the murderous aura alone allowed him to sense its bloodthirstiness.

Yang Yu took the dagger, drew it out, and the blade instantly emitted a dazzlingly cold brilliance, chilling to the bone!

"Our Xiao family members have always been afraid to handle this dagger hauled out from some tomb by my ancestors; anyone who touches it falls ill for three days and nights," Xiao Feng said, "But this dagger is truly sharp. Mrs. Shen mentioned that Mr. Yang often encounters danger, so let this dagger be for Mr. Yang’s self-protection!"

Swish!

With a casual wave of his hand, the glass on the table appeared intact, yet the water instantly spilled out from the sides.

"Hair-splittingly sharp, this is a true weapon!" Yang Yu was overjoyed and accepted the gift, "Chairman Xiao, I’ve accepted your gift. Please write down the birthdays and other personal details of all your family members and send them to me. According to these details, I’ll pick an auspicious day to remodel your ancestral tomb."
