“You arrived so early?” Qi Yan saw Cen Baihe and waved to him, “Come here and sit down.”

After Cen Baihe’s bodyguard handed a gift to Liang Feng, he whispered a few words to Cen Baihe, and then left.
Liang Feng smiled and said, “Boss, you didn’t have to get us anything.”

“There is some food in there, remember to take it out.” Cen Baihe saw a young woman in the kitchen who had her head down and was wiping her eyes.
He realized that something might have happened to Liang Feng’s sister, so he pretended not to see anything and turned towards Qi Yan. 

When Liang Feng returned to the kitchen, Liang Yun was washing glasses and her face was pale.

Seeing his younger sister pretending to be strong, Liang Feng’s heart ached, but at this point, she had to figure it out on her own.
All he could do was to accompany her as much as possible and cheer her up.

“Do you want to watch this?” Qi Yan stopped at a news channel and whispered to Cen Baihe, “What a coincidence that you’re here at this moment.”

Cen Baihe chuckled, “What’s the matter, didn’t you come to help Liang Feng’s sister with Feng Shui? Why is the atmosphere so strange?”

“It’s not that this house is haunted, it’s people who have ghosts in their hearts,” Qi Yan shook his head, “I really don’t understand things like love.” He was raised by an old man since he was a child, and he didn’t know how normal husbands and wives get along with each other, but it is definitely not normal between Liang Yun and her boyfriend.

Cen Baihe looked at Qi Yan’s clear eyes and knew that he was honest.
He really didn’t understand romantic love.
Thinking of this, Cen Baihe smiled instead, “Sometimes it’s good not to know.”

“那你懂吗？”祁晏好奇的问，“你比我大好几岁，肯定比我懂。”
“Then do you?” Qi Yan asked curiously, “You are several years older than me, so you must know better than me.”

“This has nothing to do with age,” Cen Baihe shook his head slowly, “I don’t believe in this.”

When Liang Feng came out with the glasses, he heard the boss talking about feelings with Master Qi, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and put a glass in front of Cen Baihe, “Master Qi, I have been working with the boss for several years, and still I’ve never seen him approach any woman.”

Qi Yan nodded, indicating that he understood, but as soon as Liang Feng entered the kitchen, he immediately said, “You have money, a car and a house, but you’re living such a boring life?” Qi Yan shook his head and sighed, “If I had a net worth like you, I would definitely travel around the world, enjoy life, show off my wealth when I have nothing to do, and make others envious.
How wonderful is that.”

“Boring life?” Cen Baihe was stunned for a long time before he laughed softly.

Seeing Cen Baihe laugh, Qi Yan shook his head speechlessly.
Wealthy people had such dry humor.

The lunch was very rich.
Qi Yan noticed that Liang Yun was a little uneasy, and sometimes she put the chopsticks in her mouth when there was nothing on it.
It turns out that falling in love could be so painful.
Liang Yun was very courageous just now, but it turned out that she was only strong on the surface.
Her inside was still bleeding. 

“Do you want this?” Cen Baihe pointed to a dish in front of him, “Last time when we went to dinner, I saw that you liked this very much, so I packed some for today.”

“Yes!” Seeing the food, Qi Yan stopped worrying about Liang Yun.

The two outsiders, Qi Yan and Cen Baihe had a good meal.
The Liang siblings’ appetites were not as good as theirs.

After dinner, the four of them sat on the sofa drinking tea to help with digestion.
Qi Yan looked at Liang Yun and said suddenly, “Did something happen to your ex-boyfriend?”

Liang Yun’s hand trembled slightly.
She raised her head and saw her elder brother looking at her, and suddenly felt a mix of emotions in her heart.
She bit her lip and said hesitantly, “The police called just now, saying that he had a car accident and was seriously injured.”

Liang Feng wanted his sister to ignore him, but when he saw her expression, he didn’t want to speak too harshly and make her feel bad.
But Liang Yun understood Liang Feng’s expression, “Don’t worry, I won’t go to him again, I just…”

She just felt sad thinking about how her 8-year relationship ended.

“You should move forward,” Qi Yan said.
“After this relationship, there are better people waiting for you.
If you are meant to be with the person, you will.
You will have a better future, but it has nothing to do with your ex-boyfriend.”

If someone else had said this, Liang Yun would only take it as words of comfort, but since Qi Yan said it, it had a different meaning.
She looked at Qi Yan’s eyes as if she was looking at her future, “Master Qi, is that true?”

“Of course,” Qi Yan smiled.
“You are a good person and you will have a good future.”

“Thank you.” Liang Yun said with a smile, but tears flowed from her eyes.

Liang Yun finally let go of her pretense and Liang Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
It was better to express her emotions than to keep it in her heart.

Cen Baihe quietly refilled Qi Yan’s glass.
The expression on his face was calm throughout.

“Since you don’t have work today, help me move.” Liang Yun put down her glass and glanced at the house with nostalgia, “Since there is no problem with this house, I can sell it with confidence.”

“You don’t want the house anymore?” Liang Feng looked at his sister, trying to see the truth from her expression.

“No,” Liang Yun shook her head, “I want to have a clean break.”

“Okay.” Liang Feng turned to look at Qi Yan and Cen Baihe, “Boss, Master Qi, so…”

“Hire a good moving company and let me know if you need anything, don’t exert yourself too much,” Cen Baihe glanced at the time, “I still have something to do with Qi Yan, we’ll go first.” 

Qi Yan looked at Cen Baihe suspiciously.
Did they have something to do?

“Okay.” Liang Feng sent the two away, called the moving company, and sat down with Liang Yun on the sofa, “The apartment I bought for you is still empty, so we could move all these things over there.”

“Thank you,” Liang Yun finally couldn’t hold back her emotions.
She hugged Liang Feng and burst into tears.
Liang Feng looked at his sister who was so wronged, and felt pity and anger in his heart.
If Zhou Zhehan was seriously injured, that would be great.
If not, he would have a way to make that happen.

“Have you changed your car?” Qi Yan looked at the beautiful sedan, bent over and sat in the car, “I’m planning to buy a car recently, but I don’t know which to buy.”

“Why don’t I ask around for you.
I’ll let you know if there’s a suitable one for you,” Cen Baihe saw Qi Yan’s eyes sparkling, “Go back and choose the model first, and just send me the pictures.”

“Okay.” Qi Yan nodded happily, he had long planned to buy a car, it was too inconvenient to take a taxi, and he didn’t want to squeeze in the crowd in the bus and subway, “By the way, you came here to look for me today, is there something wrong? “

They originally made an appointment to meet at night, but he came to Liang Yun’s house on purpose, which seemed to be a bit inconsistent with Bai He’s behavior.

“Actually it’s nothing,” Cen Baihe took out an invitation card, “In a few days’ time is my dad’s 69th birthday.
Our whole family is very grateful to you for saving my third brother, so I hope you could come to my dad’s birthday party.”

Qi Yan took the invitation.
He knew that the Cen family really respected him, otherwise they would not have invited him, an unknown master, to their house.
Many people wanted to get close to the dignified Cen family, but he was personally invited by the fifth master of the Cen family, which showed how much they respected him.

“I’ll be there on time,” Qi Yan said with a smile, “Should I give him some money?”

“Your presence is the best gift,” Cen Baihe said with a serious face, “You are my third brother’s savior, and also mine.
You have given Cen family the best gift.
No gifts can be compared to you.”

Qi Yan was just joking with Cen Baihe, but he didn’t expect him to be so serious and was stunned by his response.

Seeing Qi Yan’s stunned expression, Cen Baihe couldn’t help but touch the small tuft of hair on the top of his head, “What’s wrong?”

“I’m just not used to being thanked like that,” Qi Yan lightly slapped away the hand that was messing up his hair, “Don’t talk to me like that next time, it’s weird.”

“Okay.” Seeing him like this, Cen Baihe laughed lightly, and the laughter echoed in the car.
The bodyguard and driver glanced at him.
Was the boss in a good mood today?

Hongliang Hill was a little-known hill in Capital City.
Except for the dense woods on it, there was nothing special about it.
A few backpackers came by occasionally but there was almost no one around.

The elders of Hongliang Village often talked about the legends of Hongliang Hill.
For example, some people claimed to see a giant python with horns on its head in the mountains, and some saw a golden deer that fed on humans.
The young people of Hongliang Village were already tired of hearing these old-wives tales while children preferred to listen to superhero stories.
The legends of Hongliang Hill did not arouse their interest at all.

Only the old people talked to each other about the legends of the past, and recalled their childhood when they had no toys and no televisions.
They spent their time running around the mountains and fields.

However, the atmosphere of Hongliang Village was a little different today, because Hongliang Hill had been bought by a tourism development company a few years ago, and today was the day when the company completed its development.
Young people rejoiced, because it meant that there would soon be tourists here, and they would have another source of income.

The elders looked at the lively crowd rushing towards the mountain.
They shook their heads and left.
Out of sight, out of mind.

The development was a big project, so the ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at the hillside of Hongliang Hill.
The CEO of the company, along with the company’s executives and reporters, appeared at the ribbon-cutting ceremony with a big smile.

Facing the camera, the owners and a popular female artist picked up the scissors to cut the red satin ribbon.
As they were about to cut it, there was suddenly a strong wind.
Dead leaves and dust flew up, and they could barely open their eyes.

“Ah!” The female artist screamed suddenly, as if she had seen something terrible.
Everyone turned to look, and the hairs stood on end.
There were a few black snakes that were as thick as a baby’s arm on stage.

The brave employees picked up some tools and wanted to kill these snakes, but at this moment, there was another gust of wind.
When it stopped, the snakes on the stage had already disappeared.

It was taboo to witness something like that in an opening ceremony.
The boss of the company was blue-faced, and asked the staff to send big red envelopes to each of the reporters there and ended the ceremony hastily.

If they were to continue, something worse might happen. 

The initially lively ribbon-cutting ceremony was over.
The boss snapped at his assistant when he got back to the car, “The master that you invited said that this is a land with good Feng Shui and that as long as I develop it, I will definitely make money .He even said that today is a good day for the opening ceremony, but so many bad things happened! If news about this spreads, I will be disgraced!”

The assistant knew that the Feng Shui master he invited might be a scammer, so when he was scolded, he didn’t dare to say a word.
When the boss was done throwing a tantrum, he hesitated and said, “Boss, why don’t we ask someone else to have a look?”

“What’s the point?” The boss flushed with anger.
“The contract has been signed and the money has been spent.
The loss is guaranteed.”

The assistant retreated, “Boss, do you think someone is plotting against us?”

After saying this, he saw the boss’s face change.

“Damn!” The boss scolded fiercely, “I’ve been fooled by those bastards!”

As the economy was doing well, many people liked to travel during the holidays, so the tourism industry has also developed.
Those who were in the tourism development industry wanted to take this opportunity to make money, and they also hoped that their competition had bad luck.
He had been fooled by his peers in the industry.

This mountain might have good Feng Shui, but it cannot be developed as a tourist spot.

“Who was the Feng Shui master hired by the Yang family last time?” The boss remembered that Old Yang was in trouble for a while, but then things suddenly got better for him.
He had signed a lot of contracts which made his friends envious.

The assistant didn’t know which master he had hired.
Businessmen believed in superstitions and they liked to ask those masters to look at their Feng Shui, tell their fortune and so on.
Perhaps the richer people were, the more afraid they were of losing everything, so the more fearful they were when it came to gods and ghosts.

“Forget it, I’ll ask him myself.” Seeing his assistant’s expression, the boss felt even worse.
If this development project was really put on hold, he would lose a lot of money, and have cash flow problems.

Qi Yan found that every time he ate with Cen Baihe, he had a good appetite.

“I think if I keep eating with you, I will definitely gain a lot of weight.” He was already slumped on the seat of the car.

“Even so, you won’t get fat,” Cen Baihe handed Qi Yan a box of tables for digestion, “But don’t eat so much next time, it’s not good for your stomach.”

“Seeing so much food left on the table makes me sad,” Qi Yan put a few tablets into his mouth, “When I was a child, my master told me that wasting food would reduce merit, so I rarely have leftovers.”

Cen Baihe was silent for a moment.
He didn’t expect this to be the reason.
Glancing at Qi Yan’s flat  stomach, it was impossible to see that he had eaten a lot of food.

“Didn’t you say that I have a lot of good energy?” Cen Baihe said with a smile, “I’ll give you a portion of itl.
Next time if you can’t eat anymore, don’t force yourself.”

Just as Qi Yan was about to explain to Cen Baihe that good energy and merit were two different things, he looked up and saw a cloud of purple mist rushing towards him and entered his body.
For the first time, the purple mist was truly given by Cen Baihe himself, and Qi Yan was stunned.

The first few times he was with Cen Baihe, a few wisps of purple mist would stick to his body, but it would only stay on him for a day or two before disappearing, because it did not belong to him after all.
But it was different at this moment, it could last for at least a year, because Cen Baihe offered it to him.

“What’s wrong with you?” Seeing Qi Yan’s strange expression, Cen Baihe thought that there was something wrong with what he said just now, “Did I say something inappropriate?”

“No,” Qi Yan shook his head with an unintelligible expression.
When Cen Baihe said that, it seemed like he was joking, but it was truly sincere.
If it wasn’t, the purple mist wouldn’t have flown towards him.

Words, actions and the look in the eyes could deceive people.
Only the energy on one’s body could not.

“Baihe,” This was the second time Qi Yan met someone who was so generous to him.
The first one was his not-so-serious master, “Thank you.”

Cen Baihe didn’t know why he thanked him so seriously, but there was still a smile on his face, “If you want to thank me, make a peace charm for each of my family members.”

“Sure.” Qi Yan nodded, “I promise to make you the highest quality charms.” He paused when he said this, “How many people are in your family?”

“Not many, a few will do,” Cen Baihe thought that drawing these charms required the so-called spiritual power, so he didn’t actually want Qi Yan to do so many, “I’m joking with you, don’t take it seriously.”

“Oh.” Qi Yan suddenly squinted at him.
He did not expect Fifth Master Cen to be messing around so much lately.

After sending Qi Yan home, Cen Baihe returned home and saw his father sitting in the living room watching TV.
His elder brother, sister-in-law and second sister were also there.
He handed his coat to the housekeeper and sat down next to his family, “It’s so late, you guys are not going to bed yet?”

“Can’t sleep,” Cen Qiusheng glanced at his youngest son, “You seem to be eating out a lot lately?”

“Accompanying a friend,” Cen Baihe noticed that the phone was vibrating, and took it out to see that it was a WeChat message from Qi Yan.

[Qian Qian is the most handsome: I just weighed myself and I gained two pounds.]

Just looking at this message, Cen Baihe could imagine Qian Qian’s expression.
He couldn’t help but reply with a smile.

[Cen Baihe: That’s good, you are too thin.]

Looking at the happy smile on his son’s face, Cen Qiusheng couldn’t help but glance at his phone, “Your friend?”

“Yes.” Cen Baihe put away his phone, “I have already sent the invitation to Master Qi, and he said he will be here on time.”

“Do you have a good relationship with Master Qi?” Cen Qiusheng pretended to ask casually, “I see that your body has improved a lot since you became friends with him.”

Cen Baihe glanced at his dad and knew what his dad was worried about, so he said straightforwardly, “Master Qi said there is a way to improve my condition.”

“Are you serious?” Although Cen Qiusheng had suspected it a while ago, he was afraid of disappointing himself, so he reluctantly suppressed the thought.
Now listening to Cen Baihe, he bounced off the sofa, “There really is a way?”

Seeing his father’s reaction, Cen Baihe felt a little uncomfortable.
He helped Cen Qiusheng to sit back down, “Yes, Master Qi does have a way.
And don’t worry, this method will not harm anyone, nor will it affect others negatively.”

“That’s good, that’s good.” The only worry in his heart disappeared and Cen Qiusheng suddenly felt relieved.
“I didn’t expect Master Qi to be so capable at such a young age.
It’s really…”

First Master Cen and his wife were both happy, especially First Master Cen, who could not wait to go to Qi Yan’s house to thank him now.

Even Second Miss Cen couldn’t help but cry out in joy, “When Master Qi came last time, we didn’t treat him well.
How rude of us.”

Although they invited five masters last time, they only believed in four of them.
As for Qi Yan, they didn’t take him seriously.
Who knew that he was the only person who could save their brother.

Who would have thought of this turn of events?
