Chapter 2672

Ye Chen's grandmother had always been exceptionally devout regarding Feng Shui. The An family had experienced many hardships during this period but had managed to turn bad luck into good fortune each time, which made her feel that this was Heaven's special favor toward the An family. Therefore, as the whole family moved to Jin Ling, she paid even more attention to Feng Shui.

It just so happened that Hong Changqing was in Jin Ling, so she thought of asking him to help look at the Feng Shui of the new house before setting off for Jin Ling.

Hong Changqing respected Ye Chen's grandmother very much, so he naturally wouldn't refuse such a request. Moreover, there was also Ye Chen's connection involved, which made it even more of a duty he couldn't shirk.

Seeing Hong Changqing agree readily, Ye Chen's grandmother couldn't help but thank him, "Then thank you, Master Hong! Will this matter affect Master Hong's original plans?"

Hong Changqing laughed, "Old Madam An, to tell you the truth, I have already planned to settle in Jin Ling for a long time. Even the entire Taizhen Sect has been moved here by me."

"Is that so?" Ye Chen's grandmother asked in surprise, "Why did Master Hong suddenly make such a major decision?"

Hong Changqing said, "The environment in Jin Ling is more suitable for us martial arts practitioners to cultivate, and I also believe that the disciples of the Taizhen Sect can all achieve breakthroughs of varying degrees here."

Ye Chen's grandmother said with a smile, "That's truly wonderful. We might also be staying in Jin Ling for quite a long time this time."

Hong Changqing laughed, "Old Madam An, the Taizhen Sect now has over two hundred members in Jin Ling. If you have any needs, just say the word."

Ye Chen's grandmother smiled, "Then I will thank Master Hong first."

Hong Changqing hurriedly said, "Old Madam An, why be so polite with Hong? Whenever you need Hong to do anything, you only need to say one word, and Hong will definitely do his utmost!"

After saying this, he added, "By the way, Madam An, please have someone send me the address of the new house, and I will go over and take a look right now."

Ye Chen's grandmother hurriedly said, "Okay, Master Hong, I will have someone send you the address right away!"

After a round of thanks, Ye Chen's grandmother ordered someone to send the address to Hong Changqing.

Looking at the address called Wanliu Villa, Hong Changqing handed his phone to Long death date and urged, "death date, navigate to this place first."

After Long death date entered the address into the navigation, she said in surprise, "Master, this place is very close to the Champs-Élysées Hot Spring Hotel!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Changqing hurriedly looked at the navigation screen and discovered that Wanliu Villa and the Champs-Élysées Hot Spring were separated by only a few mountains, with a straight-line distance of less than two kilometers.

He said in astonishment, "This... this is too close..."

Long death date, who was on the side, zoomed in on the map and looked at the road information, saying, "Master, although the straight-line distance is quite close, both places are at the end of dead-end roads. If you really drive from Champs-Élysées, there is still some distance."

As she spoke, she reset the navigation, setting Wanliu Villa as the destination and the Champs-Élysées Hot Spring Hotel as the starting point. The navigation quickly calculated the route, which was about five kilometers in total.

After seeing the route, Hong Changqing breathed a slight sigh of relief. He knew that Ye Chen did not intend to reveal his identity to the An family yet. If they were really too close, he feared there would be a risk of Ye Chen being exposed.

Fortunately, both Wanliu Villa and the Champs-Élysées Hot Spring Hotel were built against the mountains, and the two places were separated by several mountains, making it very difficult to walk between them; ordinary people wouldn't choose such a path. As for driving, it was five kilometers away, and the Champs-Élysées Hot Spring Hotel was not currently open to the public, so he thought the privacy could be sufficiently guaranteed.

Thus, he had Long death date pull over first, and he hurriedly got out of the car, walked to a place where no one was around, and called Ye Chen.

Once the call connected, he hurriedly and obsequiously said, "Master Ye, your subordinate just received a call from your grandmother. She said on the phone that your eldest uncle has already had the butler buy a property in Jin Ling, and now the An family has started preparing to rush to Jin Ling."

Ye Chen was slightly stunned, but quickly returned to normal. He had long known that his grandmother's family was coming to Jin Ling, so he wasn't surprised to hear this news.

He paused and asked Hong Changqing, "Did my grandmother say exactly when they are coming?"

Hong Changqing hurriedly said, "Back to Master Ye, your grandmother wants me to help her look at the Feng Shui of the newly purchased house. If there are no problems, I think they will set off very soon."

As he spoke, he hurriedly asked again, "By the way, Master Ye, do you want your subordinate to go over and pick out some Feng Shui flaws to help you stall them for a while?"

"No need," Ye Chen sighed gently and said indifferently, "What is meant to come will come sooner or later. If I keep finding various excuses to stop it, it will be counterproductive."

After saying this, he asked again, "By the way, where is the property my grandmother and the others newly purchased?"

Hong Changqing hurriedly said, "Back to Master Ye, it's in a place called Wanliu Villa. Your subordinate is not too familiar with Jin Ling and hasn't been there, but just now I had death date look at it on the navigation. It seems that Wanliu Villa is not far from the Champs-Élysées Hot Spring Hotel, with a straight-line distance of only one or two kilometers. Driving should be less than five kilometers."

Ye Chen hadn't heard of Wanliu Villa either; after all, the location of Champs-Élysées Hot Spring was already considered a relatively remote suburb, and he wasn't familiar with the suburbs of Jin Ling.

However, hearing Hong Changqing say that this Wanliu Villa was very close to Champs-Élysées Hot Spring made Ye Chen worry more or less.

After all, he wasn't ready to reveal his identity to his grandmother's family yet, and being too close always carried the risk of exposure.

But on second thought, he felt that this might not necessarily be a bad thing. After all, his grandmother and the others were already being targeted by the Anti-Qing Society, and being closer to them would allow him to better protect them.

Thinking of this, he said to Hong Changqing, "You go to Wanliu Villa first to check the situation, see how many people the An family has arranged there, and whether there are any direct relatives of the An family. If not, I will wear a mask and go over with you to take a look. You can tell them then that I am a disciple of your Taizhen Sect."

"Okay, Master Ye!" Hong Changqing agreed without hesitation, then said, "Master Ye, since that's the case, your subordinate will rush over to take a look now."

Ye Chen gave a hum, "I'll wait for your news."

More than 20 minutes later, Long death date drove to Wanliu Villa.

The reason it was called Wanliu Villa was that the entire villa complex was situated on the side of a barrier lake halfway up the mountain, and it was planted with dense weeping willows.

It was called Wanliu (Ten Thousand Willows) Villa, and it was estimated that there were more than twenty or thirty thousand willow trees inside and outside the villa complex.

This barrier lake wasn't very large, but the scenery was pleasant, and because it was located halfway up the mountain, it was very quiet.

There weren't many houses in Wanliu Villa, but each one was a detached villa with its own courtyard. Most of the people living here were elderly dignitaries, so the security work here was also very thorough, with security guards patrolling and standing guard everywhere.

The An family bought six villas in Wanliu Villa in one go, and these six villas were all close together, forming the shape of a pentagram. Five of the villas were at the five corners of the pentagram, and the other villa was in the center of the pentagon.

At this time, a butler of the An family was leading a team here to do a thorough cleaning of the five houses and to check for safety hazards.

In addition to confirming that these five houses had no inherent hazards such as collapse, fire, or electrical issues, they also had to evaluate the safety level of these five houses, find the weak points of each house, and then strengthen them accordingly.

Knowing that Hong Changqing was coming, the butler had already been waiting at the entrance of the villa complex.

After Hong Changqing entered the villa complex, he began to look at the Feng Shui in a professional manner, while also probing the butler to ask if anyone from the An family had arrived first.

Because Hong Changqing was an old acquaintance of the An family and had helped them many times, the butler trusted him enough, so he told him the general situation.

Those who came to Jin Ling this time were the butler and more than twenty staff members of the An family.

Their task was to find a suitable property, purchase it, and then renovate it.

After confirming that no direct relatives of the An family were on-site, Hong Changqing sent a message to Ye Chen to inform him of the situation.

Ye Chen replied quickly, indicating that he would arrive soon.

Thus, Hong Changqing said to the butler, "Oh, by the way, I have a disciple who has done extensive research on Feng Shui and mystical arts. I'll call him over later to take a look together. Two people looking together can complement each other and check for omissions, which will definitely be more comprehensive."

The butler blurted out without hesitation, "That would be truly wonderful! Thank you for your hard work, Master Hong!"

Hong Changqing smiled slightly and waved his hand, "It's my duty, it's my duty."

Ye Chen soon drove to the main entrance of Wanliu Villa. He deliberately wore a mask, completely covering half of his face to prevent being recognized.

Fortunately, these servants of the An family didn't know much about Ye Chen or Ye Changying, and with Ye Chen wearing a mask, no one would link the two together.

Seeing Hong Changqing, Ye Chen pretended to be respectful and called him Master.

Although Hong Changqing felt he couldn't accept such a great courtesy, in order to take care of the serious business, he could only bite the bullet and nod.

Afterward, he called Ye Chen aside and roughly explained the layout of these six villas.

Ye Chen didn't need to guess to know that his grandparents would definitely live in the villa in the middle. He roughly looked at the Feng Shui here; overall, it sat north and faced south, with water in front and mountains in the back, which was helpful for wealth and career.

However, no Feng Shui is perfect. Some Feng Shui formations benefit wealth and power, some benefit children and grandchildren, some benefit academics or romance, and some benefit physical and mental health.

However, it is naturally impossible to have all these features at once.

Although this place could benefit wealth and career, there was nothing outstanding in other aspects.

Living here, although the body wouldn't be harmed by the Feng Shui, it would also be difficult to get any help from the Feng Shui.

Although Ye Chen's grandfather had just recovered from a serious illness, his Alzheimer's had not been alleviated. If he could find a Feng Shui treasure land that benefited health, he wouldn't need to take medicine or undergo treatment, and his symptoms would slowly alleviate.

Plus, his grandmother was also getting older, so for long-term living, Feng Shui that benefited health was the most important.

But this kind of Feng Shui formation that benefited physical health couldn't be achieved just by adjusting some decorations.

This kind of Feng Shui formation also had very high requirements for the surrounding environment.

Ye Chen naturally didn't have the time to specifically change the overall environment here, but he thought of a good method, which was to use the records about formations in the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra" to set up a small formation in this house.

Thus, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and hid a Rejuvenation Pill in the ceiling of the villa's living room.

Afterward, he used a small amount of spiritual energy to set up a formation around the Rejuvenation Pill. Once this formation started running, it would release the medicinal power of the Rejuvenation Pill evenly and slowly. At that time, as long as the people inside the formation were present, they would be able to invisibly absorb the medicinal power of the Rejuvenation Pill. If his grandfather lived here, it wouldn't take long for his Alzheimer's symptoms to be greatly alleviated, or even completely cured.

Although Ye Chen had once resented his grandfather for being harsh to his father back then, ever since hearing about his previous experiences, Ye Chen had also felt a bit more sympathy for this old man.

Moreover, Ye Chen didn't want him to forget his parents one day, and at the same time, he hoped that when he recognized the An family in the future, he would still remember him!
