That Elder Zhong reportedly died in a miserable way, suddenly and mysteriously, and his body was never found! It even beca an unsolved case in Port City, hanging unresolved to this day.
In an instant, the words Chu Keqing had just spoken felt like a heavy blow striking the heart of Mr. Yang Sr.
It’s either harboring malevolent intentions or blatant deception!
After a mont of stunned silence, Mr. Yang Sr. looked at Lu Sisi, and his eyes instantly burned with fervor!!
So, could this little girl, whom the family always looked down upon, actually be a treasure?
"Elder Zi! Elder Zi! Master Chu!" Mr. Yang Sr. couldn’t even stand steadily at that mont and urgently cupped his hands in a pleading gesture, "Please enlighten . That year, that kneeling in the ancestral shrine, the ancestral tablets, the tablets..."
Chu Keqing shook his head, "Perhaps it was just the dry weather, and the tablets, being wooden, hadn’t been maintained for years, so it’s not impossible they cracked from dryness.
Or perhaps..."
Saying this, Chu Keqing deliberately paused, looking at Mr. Yang Sr. but stopped without continuing.
Dry weather causing the wooden tablets to crack?
How could such a coincidence happen! Not to ntion the ancestral tablets in the family shrine, they were crafted by top artisans with the finest lacquer, and the technique was the top-notch. Besides, they were regularly maintained with oil...
How could they just crack from dry weather? And just at such a coincidental mont, they didn’t crack earlier or later, but exactly when this little girl’s knees touched the ground?
But seeing that Chu Keqing didn’t speak, Mr. Yang Sr., who had spent half his life imrsed in profound cultivation, understood the rules imdiately. After a brief contemplation, he quickly said, "My eldest son found a piece of top-quality Emperor Green jade in South Asia two months ago. I intended to commission a top-tier craftsman to carve a Buddha amulet out of it, but I, an old man, lack the fortune to use it, so I will donate it to Elder Zi’s temple as a useful item. How about it?"
A piece of Emperor Green jade, if made into a Buddha amulet-sized object, would be valued at least in the eight figures.
Only then did Chu Keqing nod and gently say, "Alright, it’s not that I don’t want to say it, but because revealing the secrets of heaven lightly is against the rules, which Mr. Yang, you understand."
Saying this, Chu Keqing already turned and walked back to his seat, sitting down, lowering his head to ponder, and calculating with his fingers for a while.
Mr. Yang Sr. stared straight at Chu Keqing, while Yang Jiaming’s family all showed varying expressions.
The only one with a strange expression was Lu Sisi, who seed like she wanted to say sothing, but she noticed just now that when Chu Keqing released her hand and walked away, he gave her a glance.
Although Lu Sisi was gentle-natured, she had learned so insights from staying by Chen Yan’s side for so long. She understood that Chu Keqing wanted to do sothing, and at this ti, she naturally couldn’t speak out and sabotage, so she simply pressed her lips together and stood aside silently.
After a long ti, Chu Keqing finally opened his eyes and looked at Mr. Yang Sr. with a complex gaze, sighing, "Ah!"
Mr. Yang Sr. looked grave, "Elder Zi, is there a resolution?"
Chu Keqing shook his head, "As for a resolution, it’s not quite possible. But I could share so insights with you. However, Mr. Yang, these words might not be particularly pleasant to hear."
Mr. Yang Sr.’s face twitched, and he took a deep breath, "Please, Elder Zi, speak frankly!"
"This pri, top-tier fortune, mostly arises in families of great wealth and nobility. That ans the family is prosperous, with deep virtues nurtured over generations, which eventually nurtures a good result.
Whereas, a few, are not nurtured by the family’s accumulated rit but are due to the natural noble aura of the individual, granted by heaven, rich in personal fortune and fate!
The forr naturally brings happiness to all, benefiting the family regardless of birth, adding three points of fortune to the entire clan.
But the latter has its specifics.
If the bearer of the fortune holds it themselves, one must see if the family’s virtue can bear such fortune.
As the saying goes, unmatched virtue invites disaster!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Yang Sr. montarily trembled, his face turning from white to red, then from red to black. As his lip and facial muscles twitched, he was exerting great effort to suppress his emotions.
Chu Keqing’s speech was practically an outright rebuke!
The implication being, the Yang Family lacks the virtue to support soone with such grand fortune! So, it’s not Lu Sisi’s fate that’s lacking, but rather the Yang Family mbers who are unworthy of benefiting from Lu Sisi’s good fortune!
If such words ca from anyone else, it would’ve certainly offended Mr. Yang Sr., likely resulting in the person being ordered out by the household’s security with sticks!
But the one speaking now was Chu Keqing!
When Chu Keqing first ca to Port City, he indeed saved the Yang family from a disaster and brought a young, promising Yang family mber back from a prolonged coma.
It was undeniable real skill, not the deception of a charlatan.
Moreover, Mr. Yang Sr. was superstitious all his life and knew that such an expert willing to help is feared not for speaking the truth, but for uttering flowery words to muddle through.
Instead, when harsh words are spoken, it suggests encountering real trouble!
"Such good fortune, what a pity... If she could be entered into the Yang family records, joining the lineage, her fortune could bolster the family’s luck.
As long as she’s around, the Yang family gains three points of fortitude. Moreover, with this fortune nourishing, it could be sustained for at least two more generations, securing the Yang family fifty years."
Upon hearing this from Chu Keqing, Mr. Yang Sr. imdiately asked, "Then, if I open the ancestral shrine now, record her in the family tree, and let her join the lineage..."
