As a Geomaster, my eyes and ears were sharper than ordinary people's. Moreover, the hotel's corridor was spacious, so the sound of footsteps could be easily heard. I immediately heard the footsteps outside the door.
Although it was far from my room, I was still vigilant. I carefully got off the bed and tiptoed to the door. I listened carefully to the movements outside.
The person outside the door seemed to be walking very slowly. His footsteps echoed once every one or two seconds, but he didn't stop. He was getting closer and closer to me. Eventually, the footsteps disappeared when he reached my door.
I panicked. At first, I was just suspicious. But now, I was sure that the person outside the door was here to trouble me.
Since there was only one door between us, I could vaguely feel the thick Dao energy of the person outside.
Is it President Xu?
Or is it the 'mother' that Zhao Ying mentioned?
Currently, there were only two people who could cause trouble for me. I wasn't sure when Zhao Ying's "Ah Ma" would return to find me, but if President Xu really wanted to silence me, he would definitely do it as soon as possible. Based on the timing, it was highly likely that it would be President Xu.
He was an existence even stronger than Zhao Yongkun. If it was him, I wouldn't be able to resist him. The only thing I could rely on was the many ghosts in the jade bracelet.
I held the jade bracelet tightly, my eyes sinister. I had made a deal with Tong Tong. If I met any danger, I just had to shout, "Release!" and she would release the ghosts.
If the person outside the door dared to break the door, I would release all the ghosts.
If so many ghosts appeared in the downtown area, no one knew how serious the consequences would be. However, compared to other people's lives, my life was more important. That was why I didn't hesitate.
However, to my surprise, after the footsteps stopped in front of my door, they didn't move again. They didn't knock on the door, nor did they break in. If I didn't feel the faint breathing and Dao Qi, I wouldn't have known that there was someone outside the door.
The more one didn't act, the more anxious they became.
Since I was very nervous, my breathing became heavy. Although I tried my best to control it, it didn't have much effect.
I tightened my grip on the jade bracelet. If there was even the slightest movement, I would take action immediately.
However, what happened next exceeded my expectations. The faint breathing and Dao Qi fluctuations outside the door suddenly disappeared.
What was going on?
Did the person outside leave?
Why was there no movement at all?
I was dumbfounded. I held my breath and waited for a long time, but nothing happened.
Eventually, I carefully opened the door and looked outside. The corridor was empty under the bright light. There was no one there.
Puzzled, I closed the door and returned. I sat there, puzzled. The sound of footsteps, the breathing, and the fluctuation of Dao Qi were definitely not my illusion. But why did the person outside the door suddenly disappear?
If this person was President Xu, did he suddenly change his mind after standing outside the door for a long time?
If it wasn't President Xu, then who could it be?
He thought about it for a long time, but the result was still a mess. He couldn't understand it at all.
That night, I didn't sleep and just sat there until the sun rose. Everything was normal after that. The person didn't appear again.
After the sun rose, I received a call from President Xu. He told me that he had reported to the Metaphysics Society's headquarters that I had found the True Dragon's vein. The headquarters would send someone to investigate. He asked me not to divulge this information during this time.
President Xu's words were normal, and I didn't see anything strange. Moreover, since he had reported to the headquarters, I didn't need to worry about him having the intention to kill me to keep my mouth shut anymore.
After telling me this, President Xu told me that in one week, the Guangdong Province Metaphysics Conference would be held. At this conference, the Fengshui Master of the 'Seeking Dragon' realm would be tested. Those who passed the test would be qualified to go to the Metaphysics Society's headquarters to observe the True Dragon's vein.
Now that I was a member of the board, I had the right to participate in the conference.
After explaining the situation, he told me that I hadn't confirmed the fact that I had found the True Dragon's vein yet. The reward for observing the True Dragon's vein couldn't be fulfilled yet. Moreover, the True Dragon's vein only appeared once every three years. If I missed this opportunity, even if the reward was confirmed, I would have to wait for another three years.
I didn't really care about this problem. It didn't matter whether it was now or three years later. However, if I relied on the True Dragon's vein's Qi from the jade bracelet, I would be able to break through in a few months. If I didn't go this time, it wouldn't be easy to hide it.
I pondered and didn't make up my mind. President Xu seemed to be impatient. He didn't wait for my answer and directly told me, "If I decide to go, I should go to the Metaphysics Society today to register. If I don't go today, it will be considered that I have given up this opportunity."
After hanging up, I thought for a while and decided to register.
No matter if I could get the quota or not, it wouldn't be bad to go to the conference.
Ever since I had started my career, I had always acted alone.
Geomancy experts needed to learn from other experts. It wouldn't be bad to interact with other geomancy experts.
After making up my mind, I tidied up a little before leaving.
At the Earth Master Realm, not sleeping for one night didn't affect me much. The abundant Dao energy in my body was enough to make up for my lack of mental power.
When I was about to eat breakfast, I received a call from Yang Kaichen. He told me the same thing and asked me if I wanted to register.
When he knew I was going, he insisted on coming to pick me up. I couldn't reject him, so I agreed.
After hanging up, I went to a nearby breakfast shop to eat while waiting for Yang Kaichen.
However, Yang Kaichen didn't show up even after I had finished my breakfast.
Feeling helpless, I called him back to ask about the situation. However, the call went through for a long time, and Yang Kaichen didn't pick up his call.
I called him a few times, but it was still the same. Seeing that it was getting late, I was worried that I would miss the registration time, so I rushed to the Metaphysics Society.
When I arrived at the Metaphysics Society, I met Xie Tianyu and a group of people walking out from the side before I could enter the building.
He quickly walked in front of me and looked at me angrily. "I knew you had ulterior motives. You actually dared to register today!
Let me tell you, Yang Kaichen's lackey is in the hospital. If you dare to walk through this door, I will also send you to the hospital! "
I was stunned, then anger surged out from my heart.
No wonder Yang Kaichen lost contact after making the call. It was his doing.
I coldly looked at him. "As a geomancy expert, don't you think it's too much to make a move on an ordinary geomancy expert?"
Xie Tianyu chuckled and said disdainfully, "This is a society where the weak are prey to the strong. He knows that he's an ordinary geomancy expert, but he still dares to meddle in our business. He deserves to be taught a lesson."
I also smiled at him. "But I'm not an ordinary geomancy expert. If you don't let me walk through the door, where do you get your confidence from?"
Hearing my words, Xie Tianyu laughed out loud. He pointed at the people behind him and arrogantly said to me, "I brought a dozen people, and four of them are council members. They are in the same realm as us. Can't you see that?
You actually dare to ask me where I get my confidence from? I want to ask you, you're still so calm. Where do you get your confidence from?
I'll give you ten seconds. If you don't scram, I'll get someone to help you! "
I shook my head. Not only was this person not shrewd, but he also had a low EQ and IQ.
An ordinary geomancy expert in the Dragon Seeking realm could only draw qi like a finger. The people that Xie Tianyu brought were all old geomancy experts. Although their dao qi might have increased after a long time, it was still too far away from my current realm of drawing qi like a finger. Even if they worked together, it wouldn't be a threat.
Without waiting for me to speak, Xie Tianyu's sinister expression completely exploded. He pointed at me and ordered the others to attack me.
Then, the middle-aged men behind him each took out a yellow talisman and walked towards me.
Seeing this scene, Xie Tianyu revealed a complacent smile.
