Chapter 141: Chapter 139 You Deserve to Die or Will Die (Third Update)

Yun Qi withdrew her gaze, pointing with her small hand towards the overall coordinates and direction, her childish voice clear and strong: "The palace is located in the northwest direction, the Qian Trigram, and since it is occupied by someone of high social status like the Lord, the overall garden landscape design focuses on the proper placement of the True God, with the Zero God at the Water Pavilion, the True God facing mountains and the Zero God obtaining water to form a harmonious configuration. In the Lower Element, positions one, two, three, and four are for the Zero God, while six, seven, eight, and nine are for the True God. Uncle constructed an artificial mountain in the northeast Gen Trigram according to the principle of the True God ascending the mountain and a lake in the southwest direction in accordance with the Zero God having water, forming a harmonious setting, and there was no problem with the design drawings at that time. But the Lord and the High Priest added some things separately, leading to a feng shui setup that became something mismatched, like this swimming pool, this marble statue, and this Prayer Hall, with excessive additions causing the Five Yellow Star to fall in the true east, the Five Yellow Star being the Evil Star, thereby bringing evil qi."

Yun Qi spoke urgently, her small chest heaving violently; she took a deep breath to adjust her breathing, then turned her head with her little hands behind her back, saying confidently and composedly: "Ultimately, it’s your excessive fear, hiring my uncle to set up the feng shui harmony, yet not trusting him enough, involving the local High Priest instead, trying to adhere to mainland mysticism feng shui while fearing offending the local Pope, which resulted in conflicting contradictions, backfiring in the process."

The Lord glared with wide eyes, face full of shock, and after a long silence, he lowered his head and sighed, saying in a deep voice: "I guess you’re right."

"What do you mean ’guess,’ Xiao Qi was right all along." Yun Qi arrogantly raised her head, her childish voice letting out a disdainful snort.

The High Priest stepped forward, "Fine, let’s say you little girl were right, but now that the palace is already more than half-finished, demolishing and rebuilding is completely impossible. Why didn’t your uncle, as a professional feng shui architect, see these issues initially? Ultimately, it’s because of his lack of professionalism."

"Hey, you..." Yun Qiucheng wanted to refute but didn’t know where to start.

"My uncle is kind and amiable, not fond of quarreling and disputes. Moreover, the Lord’s stubborn, arrogant, self-righteous style pressured him greatly, making him dare not oppose the Lord’s wishes. When problems arose later, you dared not criticize your people, so you could only take it out on an outsider like him."

Yun Qi walked around confidently and composedly, her blue overalls swaying, her childish voice clear and resonant, word by word, striking directly into people’s hearts.

Yun Qiucheng rubbed his palms together, looking gratefully at Yun Qi—

His little niece was truly gifted, able not only to solve problems from a feng shui mysticism perspective but also to directly address these complex human matters.

It was always like this—everyone is happy when there’s no problem, but once issues arise, the Priest does not dare blame the Lord, and the Lord has to save face for the Priest; therefore, all blame is directed at him, ultimately because he is an outsider.

Being confronted directly, the Lord felt utterly embarrassed, exchanging a glance with the High Priest.

The High Priest was about to say something, but the Lord interrupted, "Alright, you’re right about everything, but the palace is already built to this extent and a lot of money has been spent, so demolishing and rebuilding is absolutely impossible. Is there still a chance for remedy?"

"Of course, as long as the evil qi of the Five Yellow Star can be removed. Transform this swimming pool..." Yun Qi stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, pointing at the outdoor swimming pool on the opposite construction site, "into a Drum Tower. The Five Yellow is earth, and by incorporating elements of Water, Gold, and Wood, you form a cycle of Water births Wood, Wood produces Fire, Fire generates Earth, and Earth creates Gold, thus resolving the Five Yellow evil qi."

"Will that work?" The Lord stood up, looking very excited.

"Yes." Yun Qi tilted her head with her little hands behind her back, nodded emphatically, her eager gaze making her seem very reliable.

The Lord clapped his hands and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Alright, let’s follow the Little Master’s advice."

He turned and instructed his subordinates, "Tear down the swimming pool and build a Drum Tower according to the Little Master’s guidance, materials, and style as she says."

"That’s more like it." Yun Qi turned around with her little hands behind her back, winking confidently at Yun Qiucheng and Yun Kuang.

***

Back to the palace.

A large dining table was filled with various delicious dishes.

The Lord raised his wine glass, with the red wine reflecting a silken brilliance.

"Today we have to thank Master Xiao Qi, not only for clearing the misunderstandings but also for helping us solve the problem."

Yun Qiucheng and Yun Kuang quickly raised their glasses as well.

Yun Qi held a glass of milk high, her small face was all smiles and charm, "Cheers!"

She then gulped down a big mouthful, immediately leaving a circle of white foam around her mouth.

Yun Kuang took out a napkin to wipe her mouth; the Lord and Yun Qiucheng couldn’t help but laugh out loud at her innocent and adorable appearance.

"Master Xiao Qi, once the Drum Tower is completed, will the evil qi in the palace be resolved?" the Lord asked kindly.

"Of course, I already said that the cycle of the five elements can naturally resolve the Five Yellow evil qi."

"That’s good, that’s good, this way my life-and-death dire situation can also be resolved, and I don’t have to worry about dying, hahaha..."

The Lord and Yun Qiucheng exchanged looks and laughed heartily, as if burying all grudges with laughter.

However, Yun Qi stood there with her milk, staring blankly at the Lord; only after he finished laughing did she say, "Oh no, you are still destined to die."

"Hmm?"

Yun Qi put down her milk, her gaze clear, speaking earnestly: "I told you yesterday, you have two or three days left, but a day has passed since then, which means you now have one or two days left."

Her words left everyone in silence.

Yun Qiucheng and Yun Kuang were so shocked they couldn’t speak, taking a long time to look at the person who had only one or two days left.

The Lord was dumbfounded, taking a long time to gather himself, "But you just said your method could resolve the Five Yellow evil qi!"

"It only resolves the Five Yellow evil qi, your life-and-death calamity has nothing to do with the Five Yellow evil qi, and you haven’t even lived in the palace."

"So according to what you’re saying, I’ll be dead in a day or two, meaning I won’t be moving into the palace at all, and whether the Five Yellow qi is resolved doesn’t matter much to me."

"That’s right, that’s how it is." Yun Qi shrugged, looking completely at ease.

The Lord was taken aback, and after a long while, he finally realized that all his efforts had been in vain.

What feng shui, what Five Yellow qi, had nothing to do with him at all.

A person about to die fears no feng shui.

"Then what was the point of all that you mentioned earlier, asking me to tear down my swimming pool..."

"To clear my uncle’s name, since you were the one who detained my uncle."

The Lord and Yun Qiucheng exchanged another glance, both feeling somewhat bewildered.

"Xiao Qi, you..." Yun Qiucheng addressed Yun Qi much more politely.

"Uncle, don’t worry, my intention was to teach him a lesson so that he won’t dare be so arrogant and rude in the future!" Yun Qi shook her head slightly, like a little devil triumphing in her mischievous act.

"You..." The Lord was too shocked to speak. Soon he reacted, becoming furious and slamming the table, "You actually dare to trick me, aren’t you afraid I’ll lock you up again!"

Yun Qi giggled and wagged one finger, behind which were a pair of clear, mocking phoenix eyes,

"You have one or two days left; think it through carefully."
