Chapter 16

Sitting in the library, Su Jiu's thoughts were in disarray, and his mind was not focused on the present.

Reading the books on the table, Su Jiu did not read a single word, his mind was completely elsewhere.

Several days had passed since the feng shui layout of the second teaching building was resolved, and Su Jiu finally felt the changes in the golden compass in his mind.

These few days, Su Jiu had been restless because of this matter.

The golden compass in his mind seemed to emit a mysterious force, always making Su Jie unable to calm down. In these few days, even the most basic cultivation could not be sustained.

Su Jiu had thought about finding the reason, but in these few days, apart from being able to observe the changes in the golden compass in his mind, he could not concentrate on anything else.

However, what surprised Su Jiu was that in these few days, some new golden characters had appeared on the golden compass in his mind.

In these few days, Su Jiu also noticed that many people who were not from the university had appeared at Xiangda. Su Jiu had secretly observed them, and they all carried auras, indicating that they were cultivators. According to Su Jiu's observations, most of them were likely from the feng shui community.

The first-year courses were very relaxed, and Su Jiu had been very cautious these few days, not engaging in much activity. He moved between three points every day. Su Jiu was very clear that the sudden appearance of these people at Xiangda was most likely due to the feng shui layout of the second teaching building.

Although Su Jiu had taken the initiative to resolve the feng shui layout, it did not mean that he was willing to reveal that he was the one who did it.

These few days, Su Jiu had been studying the knowledge on the golden compass in his mind. These golden characters were all new, and Su Jiu had never encountered such content before. He already had some predictions about them.

The golden compass in his mind seemed to be the spirit of a magical treasure, and it was one with a lineage. This time, it absorbed the vast energy of the feng shui layout, leading to the current changes. Su Jiu himself speculated that the golden compass in his mind was hiding a great secret, and what he had seen so far was likely just the surface.

"Xiao Jiu, I haven't seen you come out for morning exercises for several days. Do you remember what I told you last time? When do you have time...?" As Su Jiu left the library and headed to the dormitory, he met Old Zhao at the dormitory entrance.

Old Zhao's words were somewhat cryptic, and Su Jiu immediately understood what he meant when he heard them.

At Old Zhao's house last time, Su Jiu had agreed to help with a matter. One of Old Zhao's friends seemed to have a feng shui problem at home and wanted to invite an expert to examine it, but they had not found a true expert.

In the end, because Su Jiu had given Old Zhao a face reading during a morning exercise session, and his predictions came true, the subsequent events occurred.

"Alright, I have time these few days, nothing much to do. When is it convenient for your friend, Old Zhao? We can go then!" Su Jiu thought for a moment and then said to Old Zhao. For the things he had promised, Su Jiu generally kept his word.

Moreover, although Old Zhao was just a retired professor, his status at Xiangda was very high. Su Jiu was happy to get to know Old Zhao, otherwise, he would not have given him a face reading during the morning exercise session.

"Alright, I think it's better to act now rather than wait. It's still early, so I'll call my friend now to arrange a car to pick us up. By the time we get there, it will be time for lunch. After eating, we can go and solve the problem." Old Zhao smiled broadly when he heard Su Jiu's words and immediately took out his phone to make a call.

Hearing Old Zhao's words, Su Jiu turned around and walked with Old Zhao towards the north gate of the campus. Just as they reached the gate, a black car drove up. Su Jiu was not very familiar with cars, but from the sleek lines of the car, it was estimated to cost at least several hundred thousand, or even over a million. The English letters on the license plate indicated that it was an imported car.

"This must be a wealthy person," Su Jiu thought as he looked at the black car parked in front of him.

"The car is here, Xiao Jiu, let's get in!" Old Zhao said to Su Jiu, looking at the driver who had gotten out of the black car.

"Okay," Su Jiu responded, not saying much and not being polite, and got into the back seat first.

After Su Jiu got in, Old Zhao followed and said to the driver, "Drive!"

The driver was a middle-aged man with a few strands of white hair visible at his temples. Seeing Old Zhao let Su Jiu get in first, he was surprised.

After getting into the car, Su Jiu closed his eyes to rest, not speaking or interacting with Old Zhao. Due to the influence of the golden compass in his mind, Su Jiu's spirit was somewhat fatigued. He was about to examine the feng shui, which was not a difficult task for him, but he still needed to prepare a bit.

Su Jiu did not speak, and Old Zhao did not say much either. Seeing Su Jiu resting, Old Zhao followed suit, although he seemed to know the driver, he remained quiet throughout the journey.

The driver drove the black car very steadily, almost without any vibration, but he was inwardly shocked.

Old Zhao was someone the driver knew well, and he had a good relationship with his boss. The driver had some understanding of Old Zhao's identity from his boss.

The father of the vice mayor of Xiang City, a senior professor at Xiangda.

But now, he was showing such respect to a young man, which was confusing. Could the young man in the back seat be someone's son?

Logically, in Xiang City, no young person should receive such respect from Old Zhao. Thinking about the boss's instructions before he left, to pick up a distinguished guest from Xiangda, the driver became even more convinced of his thoughts. He drove very carefully and steadily, without any vibration.

In early October, the weather was still hot like a late summer, and the afternoon in Xiang City was somewhat restless. However, inside the black car, it was cool and comfortable.

The black car drove out of the city and arrived at a high-end residential area outside the second ring road, the Panlong Mountain Villa.

The moment they entered the gate of the Panlong Mountain Villa, Su Jiu opened his eyes.

The moment the black car entered the gate, Su Jiu felt a change in the energy field.

Looking at the parking lot and the huge stone tablet at the entrance of the residential area, with the four large characters "Panlong Mountain Villa" carved on it, which exuded a powerful and imposing aura, Su Jiu knew that the feng shui here was very different.
