Chapter 70

"Alright, fine, this is my account, just transfer it to me directly!" The young man was taken aback for a moment, then said, clearly taken aback by Su Jiu’s words. At this point, dozens of people had already gathered around.

The young man’s expression was somewhat awkward, and he felt a bit resentful. You want to act like you’re rich, huh? Then I’ll give you what you want and see if you can come up with twenty thousand.

The young man didn’t believe that Su Jiu was rich. After all, Su Jiu’s attire was too ordinary; all his clothes combined probably didn’t cost five hundred. Moreover, Su Jiu looked like a college student.

Su Jiu smiled as he looked at the young man in the BMW.

Protruding jaw, dull eyes—this was the face of someone about to lose a fortune.

This was precisely why Su Jiu was so calm. After observing the young man, Su Jiu concluded that he had the face of someone about to lose a significant amount of money.

"Alright!"

Su Jiu agreed readily, took out his phone, and opened the banking app to start the transfer.

The young man’s face indicated he was about to lose a fortune. Another reason Su Jiu was so willing and not angry was that the misfortune had no specific target. In other words, anyone who interacted with this young man today could potentially make a large sum of money unexpectedly.

Su Jiu saw this as an opportunity and was willing to compensate twenty thousand yuan.

In the study of feng shui, cause and effect are important. By compensating the young man, Su Jiu would be deeply entangled in a causal relationship with him.

This unexpected wealth might then flow to Su Jiu.

If it were the old Su Jiu, he would have known about this but would never have done it.

In the past, Su Jiu had been skeptical about such facial readings, and twenty thousand yuan was a significant amount for him.

But now, with the golden compass in his mind, Su Jiu was very confident in his judgment of feng shui.

With a little effort, he could indeed make a large sum of money today.

Under the young man’s gaze, Su Jiu quickly operated his phone and transferred the twenty thousand yuan.

"Ding ding ding!" A series of chimes, the sound of a text message, came from the young man’s phone.

Seeing that Su Jiu had really transferred twenty thousand yuan, the young man was stunned.

It wasn’t because the amount was large; rather, the young man didn’t care about the money. What shocked him was that this unremarkable guy had actually transferred it.

Most importantly, he had become the entertainment.

The young man was speechless for a long time.

"Did you receive it? Can I go now?" Su Jiu asked calmly.

"Uh! This..." The young man was embarrassed and didn’t know what to say. He had just wanted some entertainment, but the situation had gone beyond his expectations. Continuing to纠缠 would no longer be for entertainment; it would be out of sheer boredom, and he didn’t have the face to do that.

"Wow! This guy is a wolf in sheep’s clothing!"

"Rich people are so carefree; twenty thousand yuan just gone like that."

"Looks like that guy was just looking for entertainment, but he ended up being the entertainment himself."

"Turns out there are so many rich people in our school!"

"..."

Su Jiu listened to the murmurs around him, smiled, and turned to leave. Li Lao’s car had been waiting at the school gate for a while, and he needed to get there early.

He had important matters to attend to in the afternoon.

As for the twenty thousand yuan, Su Jiu was confident he would get a return. He had some faith in his readings.

Even if he was wrong, twenty thousand yuan wasn’t a big deal for him now. He could consider it a way to pass the time, and he had already gotten some satisfaction by making the young man speechless.

"Sir, you can’t take his money! It will bring disaster!" Just as Su Jiu was about to leave, a voice came from behind.

Su Jiu was taken aback, not because someone was speaking, but because of the title, "Sir." What era was this? Who still called people "Sir"?

Su Jiu turned around and saw an old man with white hair, at least sixty or seventy years old, approaching the young man.

"Disaster? What kind of disaster?" The young man was already embarrassed and didn’t know how to respond. Hearing this, he was stunned again.

The young man suddenly felt that today was strange, encountering so many "abnormal" people.

"The money, you really can’t take it. You already have the face of someone about to lose a fortune. Accepting this will confirm your misfortune, and it will be a significant loss," the old man said seriously, stopping in his tracks.

The people around them were stunned by the old man’s words. What era was this? Who still believed in feng shui?

Despite their disbelief, two people’s eyes were different: the young man and Su Jiu.

Hearing the old man’s words, the young man was stunned. His eyes showed that he was superstitious about feng shui and believed the old man, but he was hesitant.

Su Jiu, on the other hand, was shaken by the old man’s words. Clearly, the old man had also read the young man’s face and reached the same conclusion.

"Is this a rivalry among peers? Is this old man here to snatch the fortune?" Su Jiu chuckled inwardly, understanding the situation.

In the feng shui world, there was an unwritten rule: when one feng shui master was working, others should not steal clients or cut off their income.

Feng shui masters are people too and need to eat, sleep, and spend. Cutting off their income is as serious as taking away their livelihood.

This was a major taboo among peers in the feng shui world, and Su Jiu’s grandfather had warned him about it when he first started learning feng shui.

Although it was an old rule, most feng shui masters with a lineage would follow it.

The current situation was clearly unexpected for Su Jiu.

The old man seemed genuinely concerned for the young man, but Su Jiu had already made a judgment.

There were two possibilities for the old man. First, he was a self-taught feng shui master who didn’t care about old rules, but this was unlikely because without a proper lineage, it would be hard to read the young man’s face accurately.

The second possibility was that the old man wanted to snatch the fortune, eyeing the young man’s significant loss.

Anyone could see that the young man drove a luxury car worth over a million, indicating a wealthy family. Snatching this fortune would be a significant gain.

"Su Jiu, I am. May I ask where you are from, sir?" Su Jiu stepped forward slightly, clasped his hands, and extended his index and middle fingers, greeting the old man.

The old man, who had been concerned, was stunned by Su Jiu’s gesture, his expression changing rapidly.

Su Jiu’s gesture was not a common polite one but a specific greeting among feng shui peers.

In modern times, people would not greet each other this way.

Su Jiu’s gesture had many meanings. Extending two fingers indicated that he was a master, having reached the Qi Cultivation stage. If he hadn’t, he would have extended only one finger.

Su Jiu’s upright posture indicated he came from a lineage, and his self-introduction as Su Jiu indicated he was from the Su family.

Stepping forward slightly with his left foot indicated that he was a peer, warning the old man not to act superior just because of his age.

After speaking, Su Jiu looked directly at the old man.

In the feng shui world, snatching fortune was a dishonorable act. In ancient times, such actions could lead to deadly feuds.

Although such deadly conflicts no longer occur in modern society, feng shui masters have their own unique skills, and no one wants to make such an enemy.

The old man was shocked beyond words.

Indeed, he regretted his actions. He had thought Su Jiu was just a young man who happened to encounter this situation and didn’t understand feng shui.

Seeing the young man’s face, he had been tempted. Even if Su Jiu was a peer, how could a young man have significant skills? He could easily talk him out of it, and if not, he could use his seniority to suppress him.

After all, money is a powerful motivator.

However, he never expected that Su Jiu’s first words and actions would follow ancient peer etiquette.

This clearly indicated a feng shui master from a lineage.

Although he hadn’t heard of any Su family feng shui masters in Xiang City, a family that could produce such a young master with such skills was certainly not a small one.

In modern times, few people understood these customs, and even fewer applied them.

But he never expected that his greed would lead to this situation.

The old man knew that Su Jiu would follow these old rules. A poor response could create a feud.

Creating a feud with a family with a long lineage was not a good idea, especially since Su Jiu had indicated he was at the Qi Cultivation stage.
