Chapter 122: The Conspiracy Behind

Zhou Feng gently held Bai Xinya in his arms, speaking extremely gently: "Don't worry, I will quickly find someone to check; if that courtyard really has a problem, I will persuade Su Ruo."

Su Ruo is a reasonable person; she won't let An'an take risks. At worst we'll compensate her with the house purchase money, so she won't suffer a loss. Don't worry, everything will be fine.

Zhou Feng almost as soon as the old man appeared, knew it was a trap, so he didn't believe a word of the old man's words.

But his wife obviously believed it; Zhou Feng knew that at this point reasoning was useless, he would strive to resolve it, to put his wife at ease.

Bai Xinya hearing her husband's words, the worry in her heart finally eased; she knew with his ability, resolving this would absolutely be no problem.

But in a place Bai Xinya couldn't see, Zhou Feng's gaze turned fierce; no matter the other party's motive, since they dared to scheme against his wife and daughter, he would certainly make them pay.

Early the next morning Zhou Feng went to find Su Ruo; he spoke frankly with her, expressing Bai Xinya's concerns and his plan.

If Su Ruo doesn't mind, he intends to find someone to inspect the residence for Su Ruo, to completely dispel Bai Xinya's doubts.

Although Zhou Feng could handle this secretly, he didn't want any misunderstanding between his wife and Su Ruo.

Su Ruo is extremely smart; he doesn't think this can be hidden from her. Rather than later causing misunderstanding when she discovers it, it's better to be clear from the start.

Su Ruo hearing Zhou Feng's words was somewhat surprised; she truly hadn't expected that the old man's words yesterday would cause Bai Xinya such great trouble, because she, An'an, and Li Zhaodi hadn't taken it to heart.

About half an hour later, everything ended; the young man dug out a black jar from under the tree in the center of the courtyard, telling Su Ruo and them that this was the source of all misfortune.

Having someone inspect the courtyard, Su Ruo would suffer no loss; she naturally wouldn't refuse. Moreover, Bai Xinya is doing this for An'an's sake; regardless of whether she's overthinking, having someone so concerned about An'an is a good thing for An'an.

Although the young man was trying hard to control himself, Su Ruo could still feel his agitation; she didn't know if he truly understood or if his acting was too good, even deceiving himself.

The person Zhou Feng invited was a young man not old; Zhou Feng carefully explained to Bai Xinya that he was a direct disciple of some true person, and Bai Xinya obviously found this convincing.

Bai Xinya nodded repeatedly; although she was somewhat eager, she knew that nowadays rumors were still somewhat tight, so the procedure must be carried out secretly, keeping everyone in the dark; otherwise even her husband might be implicated.

As long as it doesn't conflict with Su Ruo's own interests, she is willing to cooperate.

Li Zhaodi looked completely bewildered, wondering if the master was worried; why she couldn't see anything at all, yet she said nothing, believing whatever the master said was right!

The old man's words yesterday were indeed quite unpleasant; regardless, having someone take a look involves no loss.

Several people waited silently for nightfall; Su Ruo watched the young man prepare the items—table, incense burner, talisman paper—when the proper ritual began, he lit the talisman paper, spat a mouthful of wine onto the peach wood sword, and the flames immediately blazed up, really seeming like the real thing.

Zhou Feng said: "Good!"

The location chosen for this courtyard is not only the best in Fang Yuan Shi Li, it is a rare auspicious place; moreover, a Dragon Vein protects it from below, so those who live here will surely enjoy a smooth life, great wealth and nobility.

Su Ruo said with a smile: "I should be thanking you; you've helped me so much I can't even express my gratitude, and without your help I couldn't have bought this courtyard, let alone the future repairs to the house, which will still need your trouble!"

"From now on, for anything, you can just tell me directly; as long as I can do it, I'm willing to cooperate."

The young man immediately said: "Someone used an extremely yin poisonous method to turn this place's auspiciousness into malevolence! The person who did this will surely suffer backlash."

After the two discussed it, that afternoon Zhou Feng had someone come to help Su Ruo inspect the courtyard.

Although losing her daughter made Bai Xinya unfortunate, being able to meet a husband like Zhou Feng who dotes on her is truly her fortune.

After inspecting it, the young man immediately said: "Who says this courtyard is a haunted house? That's utter nonsense; this courtyard is highly auspicious!"

Bai Xinya still thought the inspection of the courtyard would be done secretly by her husband; she hadn't expected that he would actually summon Su Ruo and Li Zhaodi as well, which made Bai Xinya feel slightly embarrassed, fearing Su Ruo would see through her thoughts.

Su Ruo looked at the young man before her, unsure whether he truly understood feng shui or if Zhou Feng had hired him to act, but he indeed seemed like the real deal.

Although Su Ruo knew Bai Xinya was overthinking, she still immediately agreed: "Sure! Then let's have someone take a look!"

Only then did Bai Xinya put her mind at ease, but she still worriedly asked: "But the previous occupants of this place didn't have good outcomes……"

He now digs out this jar, then chops down that tree, and can break the opposing formation; because this stall and tree form a "trapped" character in the courtyard, those living here will encounter misfortune.

Although Zhou Feng had long guessed Su Ruo wouldn't refuse, he still breathed a sigh of relief now: "Thank you!"

Actually, Zhou Feng and Su Ruo both understand that whatever he asks of Su Ruo is only because of Bai Xinya; although Bai Xinya has improved a lot now, her thoughts remain fragile and sensitive.

Even Su Ruo cannot help but admit that Zhou Feng's devotion to his wife is beyond reproach; to keep his wife from worrying, he handles things without leaving them overnight.

Su Ruo and Bai Xinya accompanied the young man as they carefully walked around the courtyard.

"Rest assured, tonight I will perform a ritual that will resolve these issues and return everything to the proper path."

Therefore, if simply having someone look can put Bai Xinya at ease, Su Ruo is willing to cooperate.

Su Ruo however said with a smile: "Thank you, Minister Zhou; after hearing that old man's words yesterday I felt a bit worried, afraid the courtyard really had something wrong that would affect me and An'an; could you arrange someone to help me inspect it? I'm truly grateful."

Bai Xinya hearing this finally put her mind at ease, feeling she had overthought it.

Only then did Bai Xinya completely put her mind at ease.

This point was exactly what 001 had said, so Su Ruo immediately agreed; the young man then gave each of Su Ruo and them a talisman script before leaving.

But at the same time, in a dark chamber, although the formation had been broken, the old man who had spoken with Su Ruo and them yesterday immediately suffered backlash, directly spitting out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, cracks appeared on the spiritual artifacts on his body; the people he had killed turned into fierce ghosts that immediately lunged at him; the old man collapsed on the ground, struggling desperately, emitting a shrill wail, his whole body suffering as if engulfed in flames.

If it weren't for the black-robed person noticing the anomaly and rushing in promptly, he might already have been dead; but even if he managed to save his life by luck, his whole person became neither human nor ghost, his skin rotting all over, horrifying like a fierce ghost.

"Su Ruo!" the old man shouted through gritted teeth, his eyes full of gloom and ruthlessness; he blamed all this on Su Ruo and swore to take revenge.
