Chapter 10

Hearing this, not only did Xu Xian draw a sharp breath, but Yu Xiaoyu also frowned.

"What happened?" Xu Xian asked curiously.

Cai Fengyao shook her head and said, "I'm not quite sure, but according to my grandfather, seven days before the incident, the Cai family drowned a woman alive in a well. They all said the woman deserved it because she had affairs with almost nine out of ten male members of the Cai family's main line..."

Xu Xian grimaced, showing a strange expression, while Yu Xiaoyu asked expressionlessly, "After that, did no one return to the Cai family village? Did no one clean up the place?"

"Someone did return. The day after the incident, people went back because there were always some who hadn't returned to the village due to various reasons. My grandfather's family, for example, was visiting relatives with my father and grandmother, so they escaped the disaster. But almost everyone who entered the village the next day died, their bodies rotting. Some said it was a curse, that the woman was taking revenge on the Cai family. Later, the curse disappeared, and they invited some feng shui masters, Buddhist monks, and Taoist priests to perform rituals, but it didn't have much effect. Every time someone went there, they felt a chill..."

Yu Xiaoyu glanced at Cai Fengyao and asked, "Since it's possible to enter during the day, why not go in during the day and move the ancestral tablets from the Cai family shrine?"

Cai Fengyao smiled bitterly and said, "We've thought about it and even tried it once. But after that, a series of major events happened to our family. First, my brother died young, my younger brother nearly died, the company almost went bankrupt, and my grandmother passed away at that time... Later, a fortune-teller told my father that the feng shui of the Cai family shrine had a protective effect on the descendants. To break this situation, we had to return the ancestral tablets..."

"Did everything really get better after that?" Xu Xian asked curiously.

Cai Fengyao nodded, her expression somewhat strange, and asked, "Is there really such a thing as feng shui in this world?"

Yu Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Of course. We are in this line of work. Some things seem very mysterious and don't seem to have a direct connection, and these mysterious things can't be fully explained by modern science. But think about it, the art of feng shui has been passed down from ancient times and is still widely believed by many people, so there must be some reason. Of course, if you ask others, they might tell you it doesn't exist. But we are in this line of work!"

"Understood!" Cai Fengyao smiled bitterly and shook her head, realizing her question was a bit silly. But soon, she regained her confident demeanor and looked at Yu Xiaoyu, "So, we found Miss Yu because we heard you are quite capable in this field..."

Yu Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "I know my own capabilities, so let's sign this contract!"

Cai Fengyao took the contract and frowned, "Wasn't it agreed to be 300,000?"

Yu Xiaoyu nodded and said, "That's the number, but unexpected things might happen during the process. If something we can't solve or is beyond our scope occurs, we can terminate the contract and return the money. If we encounter something extremely difficult and manage to deal with it, but the effort and the reward are not proportional, we will need to increase the price... I know this is business, but you must understand that our business is different from ordinary business. Applying ordinary business standards to us won't work. I think you wouldn't want to offend people like us, right!"

Cai Fengyao felt a surge of anger at Yu Xiaoyu's words, but quickly calmed down and laughed, "Of course, more friends mean more paths! Your profession is special, and indeed can't be measured by ordinary standards. Alright! I agree to your terms!"

Cai Fengyao took out a pen from her bag and signed her name, then asked, "When do we leave?"

"Right now!"

"Alright, I'll lead the way!"

Leaving the hotel, Cai Fengyao got into a black Mercedes, and Yu Xiaoyu drove a Hummer with Xu Xian following behind.

But just as the cars were about to leave the hotel parking lot, a white Ferrari screeched to a halt in front of Cai Fengyao's Mercedes. A well-dressed young man poked his head out of the window, "Hey, President Cai, where are you going? You have time to go out today? Want to go for a drive with me..."

Cai Fengyao, sitting in the back seat, frowned slightly, rolled down the window, and smiled at the young man, "That would be great!"

Xu Xian didn't comment on the man trying to flirt with Cai Fengyao. He was currently using Yu Xiaoyu's laptop to search for information about Cai Fengyao. Since the Cai family was quite famous in Xiangcheng and Cai Fengyao was a prominent figure in the Cai Group, there was a lot of information about her online.

Cai Fengyao, 27 years old, single... Currently the vice president of the Cai Group, highly capable. But she had countless rumors of boyfriends. This didn't surprise Xu Xian, as he could tell from Cai Fengyao's chaotic aura that she was not a conservative woman.

However, the reports didn't contain much juicy information, possibly due to the Cai family's high status in Xiangcheng.

In Xu Xian's eyes, compared to Yu Xiaoyu's pure and refreshing aura, this woman was like a cesspool. This was why, despite being worshipped as a goddess by countless men, Xu Xian was indifferent to her.

Cai Fengyao's father, Cai Yuanjing, looked like a middle-aged man but was actually in his fifties, well-preserved and not as old as he really was. He was the chairman of the Cai Group in Xiangcheng and a well-known billionaire.

With a net worth of billions, Yu Xiaoyu only charged 300,000 as a 'fee,' which was a drop in the bucket.

...

Cai family village was a very secluded small mountain village about a hundred kilometers from Xiangcheng. The village was surrounded by mountains, and on the right side, there was a small lake nestled among the mountains. A river flowed from the lake, passing slowly in front of the village entrance.

"According to my father, the old people in Cai family village used to call this river Bai Long Xi (White Dragon Stream). Beyond that mountain, there is a not-so-large lake called Bai Long Hu (White Dragon Lake). The origin of Bai Long Hu is somewhat mystical. It is said that over a hundred years ago, a sudden storm brought lightning and thunder, and a 'white dragon' descended from the source of Bai Long Xi, entered Bai Long Hu, and lived there. Thus, the names Bai Long Xi and Bai Long Hu came to be. There are many such legends in our area, and people call them 'dragon movements.' I imagine such legends are not unfamiliar to you!"

As they approached the Cai family village, Cai Fengyao began pointing out the mountains and rivers in the distance.

The man who came with Cai Fengyao, however, remained silent, his eyes fixed on Yu Xiaoyu, as if he had discovered a new continent. From his gaze, Xu Xian could see many things, and thus had no good feelings towards this man.

Of course, from Yu Xiaoyu's gaze at the man, Xu Xian knew that she also had no interest in such men.

Yu Xiaoyu was very frugal and obsessed with money! But with her looks, if she wanted to use her body to exchange for a high-quality material life, countless men would be willing to wait with cash in hand for her to choose. Yet, she chose to do the job of an exorcist!

This showed that she was a 'money-obsessed' woman who maintained her integrity!
