By the time I left the Metaphysics Society, Xie Tianyu and the others had already disappeared.
I didn't go back to the hotel but called Yang Kaichen again. This time, the call finally went through.
After I asked for the hospital he was in, I immediately rushed over.
When I arrived at the ward, Yang Kaichen was weakly lying on the bed. His head was wrapped in a thick bandage. When he saw me, he struggled to sit up and anxiously asked me, "Did you register today?
Did Xie Tianyu look for you? "
I quickly went over and helped him lie down. I smiled and told him, "I successfully registered."
Yang Kaichen let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's good that you registered. You are talented and have a bright future ahead of you. No matter what, registering and obtaining the qualifications for the exam is the most important thing."
After saying that, he earnestly advised me, "As for the other things, you don't have to worry about it. People like Xie Tianyu won't amount to anything. You don't have to lower yourself to his level. When your cultivation is higher than him in the future, a clown like him won't be a problem anymore."
I couldn't help but bitterly smile. He was originally implicated by me and got into this mess. I didn't think that he would comfort me before I even comforted him.
"Don't worry. Of course, I won't lower myself to his level. I won't find trouble with him in the future either." I said with a smile and added, "After all, I already taught him a lesson."
Yang Kaichen's face was originally gratified when he heard my words, but when he heard the last sentence, he immediately smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I spoke too late."
I roughly told him what happened before and said without a care, "This kind of person can only be forced. If you keep tolerating him, he will only take a mile when you give him an inch. He will only become obedient after being taught a lesson."
Yang Kaichen didn't agree with my point of view. He sighed and said, "Xie Tianyu's family's situation isn't normal. He is from a Fengshui family. Although the Xie family isn't a super family with a true dragon vein, their strength shouldn't be underestimated. You should be more careful in the future."
I was stunned, but this situation wasn't out of my expectations. After all, he looked rich and overbearing and could casually order four directors of the Metaphysics Society. His background definitely wasn't ordinary.
One doesn't itch when there are too many lice, and one doesn't worry when there are too many debts.
I had a lot of troubles recently, so of course, I wouldn't care about Xie Tianyu. I casually said a few words and changed the topic.
On the fifth day after I left the hospital, I received President Xu's notice that the Metaphysics Society's headquarters had come and asked me to meet them.
When I arrived at the Metaphysics Association, President Xu was already waiting for me. Standing next to him were three middle-aged men who were about the same age as President Xu.
According to President Xu's introduction, among the three of them, there was a tall and skinny man named Yang Shilong. He was the vice president of the Metaphysics Society.
After listening to President Xu's words, I was shocked. I didn't expect that the Metaphysics Union would send a Vice President!
President Xu was already an existence at the peak of the Earth Master Realm. What kind of cultivation would the Vice President of the Metaphysics Union have? Could it be the legendary Celestial Master?
I couldn't help but lift my head to look at him. Unfortunately, the gap between our cultivation bases was too big. I couldn't tell his realm. I could only feel that he was stronger than President Xu.
Besides Vice President Yang, there were two other fat and skinny middle-aged men called Lu Zheng and Fang Xing. They were the directors of the Metaphysics Society's headquarters.
I looked at them. Their strength shouldn't be weaker than President Xu's.
After the introductions, the vice president called Yang Shilong asked me with a serious face. "Let me confirm with you again. Is the True Dragon Vein fake?"
I was about to reply when the fat middle-aged man called Fang Xing interrupted. "You little doll, think carefully before you reply. If we came here for nothing, the consequences will be severe."
I smiled and replied without hesitation. "You don't need to think about it. What I said is absolutely true. There's no falsehood in it."
"Good!"
Yang Shilong couldn't help but clap and said loudly. "If we can really find the True Dragon Vein, the Metaphysics Society won't treat you badly. The president already told me that if we succeed, you can follow me back to the headquarters. If you don't have a master, the president can take you in as his last disciple. If you have a master and don't want one, the president can guarantee that he can help you advance to the Glory of Knowledge realm."
Hearing his conditions, I was excited. I didn't care about being his disciple, but the guarantee that I could advance to the Glory of Knowledge realm was too tempting.
The further I walked on the path of a Fengshui master, the more dangerous the road ahead would be. Every step was incomparably difficult, not to mention the guarantee that I could advance to a few realms.
Unfortunately, I knew that they definitely wouldn't be able to find the True Dragon Vein. Even if they had a way to get the Fire God Temple out, the mysterious stone man wouldn't let them get what they wanted.
Thus, all these promises were just flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. They were destined to be unfulfilled. After being excited for a while, I became indifferent.
Originally, according to the Metaphysics Society's intention, I was to immediately bring them to the Fire God Temple. However, after I said that the gathering was about to start and I decided to participate, Yang Shilong was rather open-minded. He smiled and said that he could let me participate in the gathering first. It wouldn't be too late to search for the True Dragon Vein after the gathering ended.
After getting my guarantee, Yang Shilong's attitude towards me was very friendly, giving me a good impression of him.
His position was the highest, so after he made the decision, others naturally couldn't say anything. Thus, the time was set.
In the next two days, Yang Shilong would contact me at the Metaphysics Society every day to chat. Sometimes, he would talk about the details of the True Dragon Vein, and other times, I would ask him about some Fengshui matters.
The things recorded in the 《Death Scripture》 could be said to be all-encompassing and very comprehensive. However, there was a saying in Fengshui, "The eyes of a deity are the feet of a woodcutter. Don't judge lightly until you've taken a step."
It meant that no matter how good one's eyesight was, one couldn't be sure of many things without going through the field investigation.
Yang Shilong had a lot of experience, and he knew almost everything about Fengshui. He was even proficient in some divination and physiognomy. Although I didn't hear any enlightening words from him, I learned a lot about the details from him.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. The Metaphysics Society of Guangdong Province's gathering started on time.
The wound on Yang Kaichen's head hadn't healed yet. Early in the morning, he drove to pick me up and said that we were going to the gathering together.
Although the main purpose of the gathering was to select Fengshui masters at the Dragon Seeking Realm to have a chance to observe the True Dragon Vein, and only qualified Fengshui masters had signed up for the competition. However, it didn't restrict other people from participating.
Thus, every gathering was a grand ceremony where Fengshui masters from all over the country actively participated.
I couldn't stop Yang Kaichen's enthusiasm, and I couldn't stop him. I simply let him be and went with him.
The venue of the gathering was set up in an exhibition center not far from the Metaphysics Society. As soon as we arrived at the entrance, we saw all kinds of road signs. It was easy for us to enter the main hall.
At this moment, the entrance of the main hall was filled with people. There were many elderly people lining up in front of us. They were all Fengshui masters who had come to watch the competition.
Yang Kaichen and I also went to stand in the back of the line. After a while, a beautiful receptionist came and smiled sweetly at me. "Mister Zhou Yi, you're the Fengshui master participating in this competition. Please follow me to the special area in the main hall."
It turned out that the participants and the spectators were separated. I bid farewell to Yang Kaichen and followed the receptionist to the special area.
On the way, I was curious as to how the receptionist recognized me. After asking, I learned that they had already recorded the photos of all the Fengshui masters participating in the competition. As soon as they saw the participants, they directly brought them to the main hall.
When we arrived at the special area for Fengshui masters, I saw a seat with my name on it.
At this moment, many people were already seated. I went to my seat and sat down. Not long after, I saw Xie Tianyu also appear.
This guy used to have long hair, but now he had a crew cut. I guessed that it was burned by the Fierce Yang Talisman I used that day.
I didn't find it strange. The rules of the competition were that all the qualified Fengshui masters in each city could participate. In the end, there would only be ten spots. Since the Shenzhen Metaphysics Association won the last competition, they had a guaranteed spot this time. In other words, no matter what the Shenzhen Metaphysics Association's final ranking was, even if they weren't in the top ten, as long as they ranked first in the branch, they would get a spot.
Originally, if Xie Tianyu was the only one participating, he would definitely get a spot. But now that I was here, as long as his ranking was lower than mine, this spot would be mine.
I don't know if President Xu knew about the conflict between me and Xie Tianyu. We were clearly from the same branch, but our seats weren't together.
However, this was also good. It prevented him from playing any more tricks on me.
Just as I was looking around, a voice suddenly came from beside me.
"Little brother, do you still remember me?"
I turned around and saw an unfamiliar young man sitting next to me. He was handsome and wore elegant clothes. He was smiling at me, but his smile looked a little frivolous.
I frowned and was about to ask him who he was when I suddenly remembered the time when I had just entered the University. I had seen this person before. He was the swindler I had met on the plane!
