Chapter 149: Master Wu

The old man wore a grey robe and held a Compass, carrying the image of a master; he was none other than the renowned Feng Shui master in the Metaphysics World, Wu Zhengye.

"Master Wu," Bai Jingye said with a hurried smile, "Master Wu, please don't be angry. These few are the bosses of our company. This is President Xia, President Huang, and this is President Chen, who also understands Feng Shui and Metaphysics."

"Feng Shui and Metaphysics are profound and vast, inheriting the Heavenly Dao from above and receiving the earth's Qi from below. How could it be something an amateur kid can just spout nonsense about?" Wu Zhengye sneered.

"So this is Master Wu?" Xia Tian was somewhat displeased. They were, after all, the bosses of a real estate company; even if Wu Zhengye's reputation was great, he shouldn't be using this kind of attitude.

"Xia Tian, don't be angry yet, let me talk," Chen Yu said with a smile. "Master Wu is a famous master from Hong Kong and is well-known internationally. I should indeed call him a senior."

"Hmph." Wu Zhengye glanced at Chen Yu and ignored him further, his attitude extremely arrogant.

"President Chen, don't be angry. Master Wu has a great reputation abroad, and many buildings overseas have had their auspicious positions pointed out by him. Even the wealthy in Dubai have invited him over by name, so his temper is a bit haughty," Bai Jingye said with a hurried smile, fearing Chen Yu would get angry.

"It's fine, I understand," Chen Yu said, pointing at the blueprint in his hand. "Demolish this Nine Dragons Embracing the Pillar landscape. Do not put a water feature at the main entrance; change it to a rockery and greenery. Go back and have the designer redesign it."

"This... this..." Bai Jingye was stunned. Chen Yu was going to clash with Wu Zhengye.

"Just do as President Chen says," Huang Yiqiang grinned. "President Chen's level is much higher than those masters who only have a reputation."

"Yes." Bai Jingye was caught between laughter and tears. Wu Zhengye was someone he had invited with great difficulty, and he had repeatedly emphasized that the water feature must be done, but he had no choice since these bosses disagreed.

"Heh, a child whose hair hasn't even fully grown yet dares to question my vision? The Nine Dragons Embracing the Pearl landscape I built in this position not only benefits Qi and generates wealth, but also has the intention of suppressing the house and warding off evil. Why don't you tell me what the problem is?" Wu Zhengye was furious.

"In itself, there is no problem, but looking at the planning, the main entrance faces Dragon Lake, and there are three rivers flowing in from the left, right, and due south of Dragon Lake."

"The three rivers coordinate with the flow of the great Dragon Vein, making it a formation of mountains and water embracing each other. However, being surrounded by water on three sides with rivers but no mountains means the water mainly flows away, causing Qi to scatter and wealth to be lost."

"Therefore, I believe that a rockery should be built at the south entrance. This way, the house has a mountain to rely on, forming a formation where mountains and water enclose it, and wealth comes from the south. This is the truly excellent plan," Chen Yu said.

"You..." Wu Zhengye's expression faltered. Chen Yu's words were hitting the nail on the head; every sentence was reasonable, and upon careful consideration, it was indeed the truth.

But he was a dignified master-level figure from Hong Kong; to be bluffed by a nameless junior like Chen Yu in just a few words—if this got out, what would he do in the future?

"Nonsense! How could my master be wrong?"

"Exactly, what do you have to compare with my master?"

Several disciples behind Wu Zhengye began to express their dissatisfaction.

"Junior, don't think that just because you've read a few books on Feng Shui, you really understand these things. The lineage of Feng Shui and Metaphysics is profound and vast, receiving the changes of heaven and earth; it's not something you can grasp just by reading a few books," Wu Zhengye steadied himself and snorted coldly.

"How about this? Let's have a contest. I'll make you lose and be convinced," Chen Yu smiled. He had originally wanted to save some face for this old man, but this guy's attitude made Chen Yu very unhappy.

"Heh, with my status, if I were to compete with you, I'm afraid people would say I'm bullying you," Wu Zhengye sneered. "But if you want to compete, I will grant your wish. What shall we compete on?"

"Let's talk about what you are good at," Chen Yu smiled. "Master Wu is known as a divine calculator of bone-reading; by looking at palm prints and facial features, you can see a person's Life destiny, and even their past can be seen clearly. Why don't you take a look at mine?"

"Fine, reach out your hand," Master Wu sneered. "What if you lose?"

"If I lose, I will kowtow and apologize to you right now. But what if you lose?" Chen Yu asked.

"If I lose, I will retire from the world from this day forward and never appear in the Metaphysics World again," Wu Zhengye said proudly.

"Very well, please," Chen Yu extended his hand.

Wu Zhengye grabbed Chen Yu's hand and looked at it for a few moments, then his right hand grabbed, and a small golden abacus appeared in his hand.

The abacus in his hand was a Dharma Artifact, claimed to be able to calculate all Karma and the past. He closed his eyes slightly, placed the abacus on a disciple's tray, and while one hand pinched a seal, the other hand clicked away on the abacus.

"Did you see that? This is my master's unique skill. The left hand calculates Heavenly Mystery, the right hand calculates the past. Your ancestors for eight generations will all be calculated," one disciple said triumphantly.

"Wait until he actually calculates it before bragging," Chen Yu glanced at him and then stared at Wu Zhengye.

Wu Zhengye's hand moving the abacus became faster and faster. This guy did have some ability; the abacus in his hand was a Dharma Artifact that could calculate Heavenly Mystery and destiny. Generally speaking, in less than half a minute, one's past would be calculated clearly.

Unfortunately, this time, Wu Zhengye clicked the abacus for a full five minutes and still had no intention of stopping. His hand pinching the seal became faster and faster, and his hand on the abacus also became faster and faster.

It was just that the expression on his face became more and more solemn. Finally, his hand stopped, and his face was filled with horror.

"How is it? Your most proficient bone-reading and abacus calculation is very famous, capable of calculating Heavenly Mystery and destiny, and claimed to be able to know the past and future. How is my destiny? Have you calculated it?" Chen Yu asked.

The few disciples stopped talking as well. Their master usually didn't use the Golden Abacus because it would leak Heavenly Mystery. Today, he had gone all out to teach Chen Yu a lesson, but he had even brought out the Golden Abacus—had he really failed to calculate Chen Yu's destiny?

"Wait, again," Wu Zhengye steadied himself, then held his breath and quickly entered his state. One hand quickly pinched a seal, and the other hand quickly started clicking on the abacus again.

This time, another full five minutes passed. His complexion became increasingly ugly. He desperately drove the Original Power in his hand, clicking on the abacus continuously, but he felt more and more that his strength was not equal to his will.

"Save it. Not all destinies can be calculated," Chen Yu smiled.

"You..." Wu Zhengye's expression stiffened. Both his hands stopped. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the side, his face deathly pale.

"Master... Master!" The few disciples were shocked and hurried forward to support him.

"How is it possible? How is this possible? Why can't your Life destiny be calculated? Who exactly are you?" Wu Zhengye stared at Chen Yu with a horrified expression, his face full of shock.

"Not everyone's destiny can be calculated," Chen Yu sighed slightly. His destiny? Heh, an invisible hand was manipulating his destiny.

Whether in his past life or this one, he was just a chess piece. Even though he inherited the Great Profound Sacred Clarity Scripture and could know the Heavenly Mandate and peek at Heavenly Mystery, he dared not speak recklessly about his own destiny, let alone others'.

"Master Wu, now it's my turn to talk about your destiny," Chen Yu smiled.

"Speak," Wu Zhengye stood straight with difficulty, waiting for Chen Yu to speak.
