"What did you say? My Feng Shui compass is with you now!"

Qin Yu's voice instantly rose several decibels, startling Zhang Hua, who was sitting across the table and picking up food. Zhang Hua's chopsticks slipped, and the piece of meat he was about to pick up fell directly onto the table.

"Embarrassing." Zhang Hua glanced at Tong Min's gaze and wished he could strangle his cousin alive. He was just answering a call, but the sudden loud voice made him look foolish in front of Tong Min.

"You're in Guangzhou now? Where are you? I know, stay there, I'll come over right away." A moment later, Qin Yu hung up the phone, his face showing excitement. He said to Zhang Hua and Tong Min, "I need to go to Yilong Street. Cousin, Miss Tong, you two continue eating."

"Why are you going to Yilong Street? That place sells some Feng Shui tools. Oh, right, I forgot." Zhang Hua stopped mid-sentence, remembering that his cousin was a Feng Shui master.

"Yes, something very important to me has appeared on Yilong Street." Qin Yu nodded and got up to head for the door.

After leaving the restaurant, Qin Yu realized he had been too hasty. He only knew the name Yilong Street but didn't know where it was. The area was still under development and quite remote, with no taxis in sight.

"Xiao Yu, get in the car, I'll take you to Yilong Street. It would take a long time to get a taxi here."

Just as Qin Yu was about to walk to a bustling area, his cousin Zhang Hua's voice came from behind. He turned around to see Zhang Hua and Tong Min also coming out of the restaurant.

"Since Miss Tong and I have already finished eating, and it looks like you have something urgent, we followed you out."

Qin Yu gave Tong Min an apologetic look. It was clear they had left early, as the dishes he ordered were only halfway served. As for his cousin, there was no need to explain.

In the car, Qin Yu had time to calm down and think. His Feng Shui compass had been stolen by a female thief, so how did it end up in Mo Yongxing's hands, and on Yilong Street?

"Could this female thief be sent by the Mo family? Their goal was to get the Feng Shui compass."

This thought flashed through Qin Yu's mind, but he quickly dismissed it. The Mo sisters didn't seem like that kind of people, and if it were the Mo family's doing, why would Mo Yongxing call him?

"Here is Yilong Street, but it's too crowded inside, the car can't go in. Let's get off here and walk in."

Zhang Hua parked the car at a street corner. Qin Yu got out and looked at the street sign, which read "Yilong Street" in large letters.

"Everyone says people in coastal areas believe in Feng Shui the most. It's true, it's as busy as a market." Qin Yu saw the crowds coming and going and sighed.

"This is nothing, this street isn't even the biggest. There's a much busier one in the southern part of the city." Zhang Hua interjected as the three of them walked toward Yilong Street.

"Come and take a look, the peachwood sword used by Master Zhang Tian. Buy it to ward off evil spirits, no ghosts will dare to approach. This is the last one, don't miss it."

"Amulets blessed by the master of Fahua Temple, ensuring a lifetime of peace. Limited quantity, first come, first served."

As soon as they entered Yilong Street, Qin Yu was amazed. It was a huge market, with vendors shouting and haggling, even busier than a regular market.

"Bosses, what are you looking for? I have everything here, all good stuff. See this peachwood sword? It was used by Master Zhang Tian." Qin Yu approached a stall, and the stall owner immediately introduced his goods enthusiastically.

Qin Yu looked at the peachwood sword in the stall owner's hand and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The sword wasn't even made of peachwood, and the stall owner claimed it was used by Master Zhang Tian. Not wanting to listen to the stall owner's lies, he asked directly, "Boss, where is Yianzhai on this street?"

"Yianzhai, turn left at the next intersection, it's the first one." The stall owner's enthusiasm vanished when he realized Qin Yu was just asking for directions. He pointed the way and ignored him.

Following the direction the stall owner pointed, Qin Yu turned left and found that this area was all shops, with no more stalls. There were far fewer people, making it much quieter.

"Yianzhai, this is it."

Qin Yu looked up at the sign and stepped into the shop. As soon as he entered, he felt the atmosphere was a bit off, with a faint sense of tension.

"Hmph, you'll see if this is a magical tool or not. Don't think you're great just because you know a bit about Feng Shui."

Mo Yongxing's familiar voice reached Qin Yu's ears as soon as he entered. It seemed he was arguing with someone. Qin Yu coughed a couple of times, immediately drawing the attention of a few people in the shop.

"Qin Yu, you're here. Quickly, tell me how to activate this Feng Shui compass." Mo Yongxing's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Yu, and he patted him on the shoulder.

"How did you get this Feng Shui compass?" Qin Yu ignored Mo Yongxing's request and asked instead.

"I should be asking you. Why did you give the Feng Shui compass to a woman? She even brought it to this shop to sell it. If I hadn't happened to see it, the shop owner would have bought it for 300 yuan. Is that woman your mistress?"

Mo Yongxing gave Qin Yu a knowing look. The woman was indeed beautiful and had a tempting figure. Just thinking about spending a night with her made one's blood boil.

"What mistress? She's a thief. She stole my Feng Shui compass on the train."

"Thief? Who are you trying to fool? A woman as beautiful as her doesn't need to be a thief. She could easily find a rich man or someone like me, who is handsome and wealthy."

Mo Yongxing didn't believe Qin Yu. Beauty was a woman's greatest asset, and a good appearance was better than any skill. In today's society, many women with good looks became mistresses. With that woman's appearance, not just being a mistress, many men would even divorce their wives for her.

"I'm telling the truth. But since the Feng Shui compass is back, none of that matters." Qin Yu smiled.

"Wait," Mo Yongxing stared at Qin Yu, making him feel puzzled. He blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Qin Yu, I spent 10,000 yuan to buy this Feng Shui compass from that woman."

"Alright, I'll give you the money later." Qin Yu thought it was no big deal; he still had 10,000 yuan on him.

"You don't understand. I am now the owner of the Feng Shui compass, and I didn't say I would sell it to you." Mo Yongxing grinned, showing his white teeth. Seeing Qin Yu's surprised expression made him feel happy.

"This is stolen property. You are buying stolen goods, and the original owner has the right to reclaim it." Qin Yu reminded Mo Yongxing that the Feng Shui compass was stolen, and he had the right to demand its return.

"Is it stolen just because you say it is? Why don't you call the police? See that guy? He's the son of the GZ City Police Chief. Do you think the police will be on your side or mine?"

"You..." Qin Yu was speechless. He hadn't expected Mo Yongxing to pull this trick. Given the Mo family's influence, it would be very difficult to get the Feng Shui compass back through normal means.

"Alright, let's not talk about this. Teach me how to summon the golden dragon. Those people don't believe it's a magical tool."

Qin Yu understood why Mo Yongxing had called him. He smiled and said, "Since the Feng Shui compass now belongs to you, it's none of my business."

Qin Yu ignored Mo Yongxing and started admiring the items in the shop. The items in Yianzhai were quite comprehensive, with almost all Feng Shui tools and a variety of styles, making the shop look very impressive.

"Alright, if you need to use it in the future, I can lend it to you." Mo Yongxing was helpless. Without Qin Yu's guidance, the Feng Shui compass was just a piece of wood to him.

"Deal!"

Qin Yu was waiting for Mo Yongxing to say this. Since there was no specified duration for the loan, lending it for a day, a month, a year, or even ten years was still considered lending.

"Everyone, come and see if this is a magical tool."

Mo Yongxing and Qin Yu's conversation was relatively quiet, and only Li Bing, Zhang Hua, and Tong Min, who came with Qin Yu, heard it. The shop owner Qian and Masters Pang and Ji didn't know what they were talking about.

Li Bing looked at Qin Yu with a curious and probing gaze. Mo Yongxing was the young master of the Mo family, and from their conversation, it seemed Mo Yongxing was somewhat accommodating to Qin Yu. This was quite rare for Mo Yongxing. Could Qin Yu also be someone of great importance?
