The matter in Chen Village can be said to have come to a temporary conclusion.
On the surface, the matter in Chen Village seemed simple, but in reality, it was quite complex.
Su Jiu didn't know what would appear when the inverted coffin was opened.
All of this would have to wait until his cultivation realm was sufficient to explore further.
After returning to Xiang University, Su Jiu reported back to his class advisor.
He resumed his ordinary student life.
Today's class was a large lecture. It seemed that many people were attending, but in fact, it wasn't so. In university, many people skipped such large lectures because they weren't mandatory and weren't specialized courses.
Su Jiu was one of them.
"Old Li, hello, I'm Su Jiu!" Su Jiu held a phone and spoke while walking on a campus path.
"It's Master Su! Is Master Su available now?" Old Li's voice, originally calm and authoritative, instantly became enthusiastic upon hearing Su Jiu's voice.
"Sure, Old Li, I returned yesterday." Su Jiu walked while heading towards the school gate.
The last time he was in Chen Village, Old Li had called him. Su Jiu knew that Old Li's network must have spread the word, and some people, after hearing about him from Old Li, began to pay attention to him, wanting this Master Su to check their feng shui.
Su Jiu was happy with this. The growth of a feng shui master required countless verifications and studies to become a true master.
Although Su Jiu had the golden compass in his mind, he didn't mind enriching his experience and earning some income at the same time.
Su Jiu's thoughts were practical and mundane, but that's how the world worked.
There was nothing unusual about this.
Su Jiu was very clear that he was only at the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation and already felt the difficulty of cultivation.
In the future, once he entered a higher cultivation realm, it would be impossible without great opportunities.
How to obtain these opportunities?
Opportunities wouldn't come to you for no reason; you had to seize and pursue them yourself.
"Master Su, do you have time this afternoon? My friend has been waiting for a long time," Old Li asked.
"Sure, this afternoon it is! Come pick me up after I finish lunch," Su Jiu agreed with a smile.
"Master Su, why don't you join us for a simple meal?" Hearing that Su Jiu hadn't eaten, Old Li immediately invited him.
"No need for that trouble, Old Li. Just come pick me up when it's time," Su Jiu declined. He felt uncomfortable dining with these powerful people and preferred to eat alone at a restaurant without worrying about his image.
This was Su Jiu's truest thought.
"Alright, Master Su, I'll send a car to pick you up at the school gate now."
After hanging up, Su Jiu had already reached a street near the school gate, lined with various small shops and restaurants.
He walked in, ordered two dishes, and started eating alone.
In fact, deep down, Su Jiu didn't treat himself as a special person. He was just an ordinary person with ordinary thoughts.
Su Jiu wasn't used to the lifestyle of the upper class, which made simple things overly complicated.
For example, when eating, one had to pay attention to seating arrangements, the order of dishes, and couldn't eat loudly.
Su Jiu found all these things too troublesome, a waste of time, and inefficient.
He couldn't tolerate such things.
It was better to be himself, not worrying about his image, and eating however he pleased.
After finishing his meal, Su Jiu paid and left the small restaurant.
He started walking towards the school gate. Sure enough, a black car was parked there, just like the one last time.
Su Jiu knew this was arranged by Old Li. Last time, he and Old Zhao had taken this car to Old Li's house.
Thinking of this, Su Jiu smiled and was about to greet the car.
"Screech..." A sudden screeching sound of brakes startled Su Jiu.
"Are you blind? Don't you look before crossing the road? Be careful, or you'll get run over one day," a harsh voice said.
Su Jiu turned around and saw a white car parked behind him, its front touching the roadside barrier.
He recognized the car; the three letters "BMW" on the front meant it was a BMW, commonly known as "Don't Touch Me."
Su Jiu thought for a moment and understood the situation. The street in front of the school was usually empty, so he hadn't paid attention to the road, and he was a bit distracted, not expecting the white BMW to come his way.
The situation was indeed his fault. Su Jiu frowned but didn't make a fuss.
"Sorry!" A young man in sunglasses poked his head out of the car window. Although Su Jiu disliked his cursing, he didn't argue.
Su Jiu said sorry and was about to head to the school gate.
"You're quite arrogant, aren't you? Just saying sorry isn't enough. Didn't you see my car got hit? Don't leave, wait for the police and the insurance company to come," the young man, seeing Su Jiu's calm attitude, suddenly got angry and got out of the car, grabbing Su Jiu.
"What do you want?" Su Jiu, grabbed by the young man, stopped and turned around, asking calmly.
Su Jiu frowned. The situation was indeed his fault, and if the other party insisted, he couldn't say much. Although he wasn't happy with the young man's tone, he still asked politely.
"Compensation, of course! Don't you understand? Either we settle it privately, and you fix my car, or we report it to the police and let them decide," the young man, hearing Su Jiu's words, was momentarily stunned but then spoke arrogantly, thinking Su Jiu was easy to bully.
Su Jiu, hearing this, was also a bit angry. Although he was at fault, it didn't warrant compensation. Such minor accidents were usually handled by the police and insurance companies, with him just as a witness.
But the young man clearly wanted to extort money from Su Jiu.
Su Jiu was about to refuse, but when he saw the young man take off his sunglasses, his anger disappeared.
Su Jiu smiled and asked, "How much do you want?"
"Huh? How much? This... This is a BMW, a car worth over a million. Look at the damage; it will cost at least 20,000 to repair at the 4S shop," the young man, hearing Su Jiu's words, was stunned, not reacting immediately.
This student-like guy directly asked how much compensation was needed, which was unusual. It felt like the other party was rich, and he was the poor one.
The young man finally reacted. He just wanted to embarrass this guy and make him beg. Since the car was fully insured, he wouldn't have to pay a cent. He would enjoy the moment and then let the guy go.
But he didn't expect this response.
Hearing Su Jiu's words, he thought, "You look like a student at Xiang University. How much money does a student have? Asking for 20,000, let's see how you act."
"Acting richer than me?" The young man's lips curled into a mocking smile as he stared at Su Jiu.
"Fine, 20,000 it is. I have something to do. Do you want a transfer or cash? Tell me your account number, and I'll transfer it to you right away," Su Jiu said with a smile, as if 20,000 was nothing to him.
If someone else had said this, they might have been embarrassed. 20,000 was a significant amount, and the young man, driving a million-dollar car, was clearly not an ordinary person. Most people would be intimidated.
But Su Jiu was immune to such intimidation.
When Su Jiu saw the young man's face clearly, his anger and dissatisfaction disappeared.
Instead, he looked at the young man with interest, waiting to see how he would react, as if watching a comedy.
By now, a crowd had gathered. In this society, there were always people who enjoyed watching a spectacle.
Especially on this busy street.
"Just a minor scrape, and it's 20,000. When did money become so worthless?"
"They're all rich, living in a world we can't understand."
"20,000 is my living expenses for two years!"
"I really don't get it..."
The crowd began to murmur.
The young man, hearing Su Jiu's words, was also stunned.
Although 20,000 wasn't much to him, it was more than he usually spent in a day.
But when things didn't go as expected, he was usually shocked.
At this moment, the young man's expression was one of shock, as if he had been stunned by the 20,000.
"That guy is the real tycoon. Just walking by, he stunned the BMW driver with 20,000!"
"Some people drive fancy cars and wear designer clothes, but they might just be pretending."
"..."
The young man's expression was noticed by the crowd, leading to more murmurs.
Hearing these comments, Su Jiu's smile grew wider.
At this moment, the young man was embarrassed and angry.
Are these people blind?
Can't they tell who's rich?
This was the young man's first thought.
The situation was completely unexpected. He had intended to have some fun, but now he had become the entertainment.
The young man suppressed his anger and calmed down...
