Chapter 8

Bai Xiaoxuan was truly terrified.

She couldn't help but move closer to Qin Ning, trembling.

Seeing her in such a state, Qin Ning was about to reach out to embrace her, but Bai Xiaoxuan saw him first and said angrily, "You're such a jerk!"

After saying that, she ran to the side and hugged Xie Jingjing.

Qin Ning was instantly disappointed, missing another good opportunity.

"Scum! This scum!"

At this moment, the landlord suddenly cursed, clearly referring to Wang Fu. She glared at Qin Ning and said, "Have you finished saying what you wanted to say? Let me tell you, you won't get a single cent off the rent. If you don't want to stay, leave now!"

Qin Ning chuckled and looked at Bai Xiaoxuan and Xie Jingjing, saying, "Why don't we find another place to live?"

The two quickly nodded.

After all, they couldn't bear this environment any longer.

The landlord huffed and said impatiently, "Then leave quickly. I still have other tenants to show the place! Don't get in the way here!"

"You!"

Bai Xiaoxuan said angrily, "Deposit! Return our deposit!"

The landlord glared and said angrily, "Deposit? What have you done to my house? No deposit! I should be asking you for renovation fees! By the way, renovation fees! 100,000 yuan! Not a cent less!"

Faced with the landlord's outrageous demands,

Bai Xiaoxuan was so angry she gritted her teeth.

When they rented this house, it was just a simple renovation. The two had wanted to decorate their little nest, so they had mentioned it to the landlord at the time. The landlord, thinking someone was offering to renovate for free, naturally agreed without a second thought. But she never expected the landlord to make such outrageous demands at the end, demanding renovation fees!

"You! You agreed to let us renovate!" Xie Jingjing was so angry she was dizzy, and her speech was a bit incoherent.

The landlord glared and said, "When did I agree? Is it written in the lease? If not, just pay up! Xie Jingjing, I haven't even mentioned how you bring this小白脸 (pretty boy) over every few days. You're so frugal, saving on hotel fees, right? I haven't even asked you for his rent yet!"

This made Xie Jingjing's eyes blaze with anger.

Her boyfriend also wished he could slap this woman.

Seeing the landlord's arrogance grow, Qin Ning pursed his lips and said, "The landlord is really good at making money. It seems you haven't lost enough this month. I should warn you, this is just the beginning. You'll be losing a small fortune every month. It's not a small matter."

With just one sentence,

The landlord's arrogance was instantly quelled.

She trembled as she looked at Qin Ning, who smiled and said, "Am I wrong?"

The landlord swallowed hard.

Her whole body shook with fat.

Qin Ning was right; she had lost a small fortune this month. How could she, who loved money, bear this? This was why she had raised the rent by a factor of two and demanded 100,000 yuan in renovation fees.

At this moment, Qin Ning picked up his luggage, pretending to leave.

The landlord quickly grabbed Qin Ning and forced a smile, "Master, Master, I was just joking. How could I ask for money?"

"Haha, do as you please." Qin Ning said with a smile, "This has nothing to do with me."

The landlord was instantly anxious.

If she continued to lose money, wouldn't her savings be gone in a few months? She sat on the ground, hugged Qin Ning's leg, and pleaded, "Master, Master, please forgive me. Please save me."

"Why should I save you?"

Qin Ning looked down at the landlord, who looked like she was about to cry, and asked mockingly.

The landlord, being a shrewd person, understood Qin Ning's meaning. She gritted her teeth and pulled out a stack of bills, at least 5,000 yuan, and handed them to Qin Ning, pleading, "This is all I have. Please save me."

Qin Ning didn't hesitate.

He took the money and placed it on the table, then sat on the sofa.

This money was for divination fees, and he couldn't put it in his pocket until he had given a solution, or he would break the rules.

"The property owner is you, and there is a negative energy in the house. As the owner, you are naturally responsible. Since the three college students died, you have repeatedly rented this house at a low price, but each tenant either fell ill or had a change in their job. Your house has never been rented for more than a month until Bai Xiaoxuan and Xie Jingjing moved in, and it has been stable since then," Qin Ning said.

The landlord nodded quickly, "Yes, Master, you are right."

"The root cause is the negative energy in the house, which has not dissipated. Normally, negative energy would dissipate in three days with good ventilation and sunlight, but the layout of the house is special, causing the negative energy to accumulate and intensify, leading to the outbreak a month ago," Qin Ning explained.

"What's wrong with the layout?" Bai Xiaoxuan was genuinely interested and hugged Xie Jingjing, asking.

Qin Ning explained, "Since ancient times, it has been said that the sky is clear and the earth is turbid. Therefore, the construction of a house should reflect this, with a bright ceiling and a dark floor. However, in this house, the ceiling is dark, and the floor tiles are bright, creating an inverted layout where the earth is clear and the sky is turbid. This is why the negative energy has not dissipated, causing both the landlord and the tenants to suffer."

"No wonder!"

Bai Xiaoxuan said angrily, "This month, Jingjing and I have had nothing but bad luck."

"Right, right, a lot of bad luck," Xie Jingjing nodded quickly, clearly having suffered a lot this month.

"I'll have it repainted and the floor replaced right away," the landlord said quickly.

Qin Ning waved his hand, "Replacing the ceiling and floor is a solution, but the fundamental solution is to please someone."

"Who?"

The landlord asked quickly.

Qin Ning smiled and pointed at Bai Xiaoxuan.

She widened her eyes and asked uncertainly, "Me?"

"Of course, you."

Qin Ning smiled, "You have been living here for over a year without any problems. Other tenants have had bad luck after just one month."

"Really? Then why not Jingjing?" Bai Xiaoxuan asked curiously.

Qin Ning smiled, "Jingjing has a peaceful face, and as long as she doesn't do anything reckless, she will have a peaceful life. However, living in this house will still bring bad luck. As for you, you have a fate that turns misfortune into good fortune, and those close to you will also benefit. That's why you have been able to live here for so long. However, the negative energy has been too strong in the past month, affecting you, but you are still better off than the landlord and her brother."

"I have such a fate?"

Bai Xiaoxuan was surprised.

"You can rest assured, you will have a peaceful life," Qin Ning waved his hand and then looked at the landlord, "I have explained it clearly. Fix the inverted layout and have Bai Xiaoxuan continue living here, and you will be safe and possibly even prosperous."
