The next day, on the big screens in public places throughout Yunkun City, a line of text flashed: "Miao Xinlan, I know where your son’s remains are, call ..."
A woman wearing a straw hat couldn’t help but shiver as she firmly morized the phone number.
After hesitating for a long ti, she finally made the call: "Hello..."
"Is this Miao Xinlan? Hello," a gentle male voice ca from the other side of the phone. "My na is Yang Yu, and the Lan Family brought on specifically to deal with you. However, rest assured, as long as you are willing to stop before your wish is fulfilled, I won’t arrest you."
"Do you really know where my son’s remains are?" Miao Xinlan’s voice trembled. "That beast Bai Shou said he threw my son’s remains to the wild dogs."
"He did throw them away randomly, but I still found them," Yang Yu said. "Your son’s left thumb was injured, right? If I’m not mistaken, then co back, and I will be waiting for you at the Lan Family Ancestral Tomb."
"Okay, I’ll co imdiately." Miao Xinlan hung up the phone and imdiately headed for the Lan Family Ancestral Tomb.
More than two hours later, Miao Xinlan indeed arrived: "Are you the one?"
"Yes," Yang Yu nodded, then pointed to a small coffin beside him, "See if this is your child."
Miao Xinlan approached the small coffin, and upon seeing the remains in front of her, she knelt on the ground, bursting into tears: "Xiao Bao, it’s Mother’s fault for not letting you rest in peace after death, wuuu..."
Yang Yu remained silent, waiting quietly.
After a while, Miao Xinlan wiped away her tears and kowtowed to Yang Yu: "Sir, thank you!"
"You’re welco." Yang Yu helped Miao Xinlan up, "The Lan Family has agreed to let your son be buried here with them, for their descendants to pay homage to. Do you think that’s acceptable?"
"They... really agree?" Miao Xinlan found it sowhat incredible, as locals absolutely would not allow anyone to disrupt their ancestral tomb’s Feng Shui, let alone share it.
"What’s there to disagree with? They now understand that true Feng Shui is about benevolence of the heart, and a Feng Shui treasure land is rely icing on the cake," Yang Yu said with a smile. "Besides, I have promised to renovate their ancestral tomb for them, so the Feng Shui of the Lan Family will not be affected."
"Thank you, sir." Miao Xinlan bowed again to Yang Yu, "With this, I can rest assured. Sir, please tell my husband that I’m sorry, and after he gets out, he should find another woman and live a good life without thinking of anymore."
Yang Yu smiled faintly, nodding slightly: "Okay."
"If there is an afterlife, I will repay you then," Miao Xinlan said to Yang Yu with a slight smile. "You are a good person, and you will surely receive good karma."
Black blood flowed from Miao Xinlan’s orifices, and she collapsed to the ground, her eyes slowly closing: "Xiao Bao, Mommy... is coming to join you..."
Several police officers imdiately ran over, trying to save her, but Yang Yu shook his head: "She knew she was bound to get the death penalty, her will to die was determined, let her go with dignity."
As soon as Yang Yu finished speaking, several sticky insects crawled out of Miao Xinlan’s orifices.
With a wave of Ye Yu’s small hand, those insects instantly turned into black mist, vanishing into thin air!
"Alas!" Yang Yu sighed, "The Lan Family’s murder case can be closed now."
Ten people from the Lan Family died, and one was seriously injured. Lan Heng, overwheld with guilt, knelt in front of the Lan Family Head, crying in remorse: "Family Head, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault."
Lan Zhengfeng, the pale-faced Family Head, looked as if he were dead, but there was not a trace of resentnt on his face. Instead, he comforted Lan Heng: "Old Heng, it’s not your fault, it’s mine. I shouldn’t have trusted that greedy Feng Shui Master, ruining soone’s child’s grave. This is all my retribution."
"Indeed." Yang Yu said. "The art of Feng Shui abhors the impure of heart. Used rightly, it adds luster to virtue; used wrongly, it fuels catastrophe. It is because you, the Family Head, have done many good deeds in the past that the authorities let co and help you out of this crisis, a recompense for your actions. Otherwise, you would have died last night."
Lan Zhengfeng deeply agreed, helped Lan Heng up, and then bowed to Yang Yu: "Mr. Yang’s generosity is appreciated. From today on, you are a great benefactor and an honored guest of our Lan Family. With just a word from you, we are ready to go through fire and water, at no cost."
"There’s no need for courtesy," Yang Yu said. "I am now taking my disciple to inspect so goods, and after that, we’ll leave. In the future, if your Lan Family visits Tianhai City, you’re welco to find anyti."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Lan Zhengfeng felt sowhat apologetic. "At least stay so I can treat Mr. Yang to a proper evening banquet!"
"We’ll see how it goes. If I haven’t left by tonight, we can arrange a dinner," Yang Yu smiled. "I have to go now, we’ll talk in the evening."
"Let Old Heng drive you," Lan Zhengfeng suggested. "It will be more convenient."
"Alright," Yang Yu agreed. "Let’s go, to the Yunkun City Jade Trade Market."
The Yunkun City Jade Trade Market.
"This place is so huge, and there are so many jades!" Ye Yu looked around at the raw stones everywhere with earnest admiration.
This was her first ti going out to explore, and naturally, she found everything fascinating.
Bai Xuefeng smiled: "Xiao Yu, if you like jade, you are welco to visit our Bai Family’s jade trade market anyti."
"I’m just curious to have a look, it’s okay!" Ye Yu walked and looked around, her curious gaze as pure as a newborn child’s.
The three soon arrived at a warehouse inside the trade market, and a middle-aged man holding Buddha Beads greeted them: "Miss Bai, you’re here."
"Boss Huo, hello." Bai Xuefeng said. "Where is the Bai Family’s batch of goods?"
"Right here." Boss Huo led Bai Xuefeng to a large pile of raw stones. "Take a look and if you are okay with it, we’ll load and transport it back to Tianhai."
"Alright," Bai Xuefeng began to inspect earnestly, examining each piece.
In this period, she had learned quite a bit about stone appraisal from Yang Yu. Although she lacked Primordial Energy and couldn’t judge as quickly and accurately, her accuracy had improved substantially.
Seeing Bai Xuefeng being more serious than other Bai Family mbers who ca before, Boss Huo couldn’t help but laugh: "Miss Bai, in the past, your family always brought Appraisers. Why are you doing it yourself this ti?"
"I just learned from my master, so I want to practice," Bai Xuefeng replied, her focus entirely on the raw stones.
"I see," Boss Huo was secretly delighted. "If I had known you wouldn’t bring an Appraiser, I would have slipped a few useless rocks in, miscalculation, what a miscalculation!"
