Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 841 - 390: A Rooster Nesting in a Phoenix’s Lair

Chapter 841: Chapter 390: A Rooster Nesting in a Phoenix’s Lair

Since ancient times, there has been talk of a "dragon’s vein" in Wansui Mountain. Especially this spot chosen as a burial site, backed by mountains and embraced by water, with lush vegetation and abundant spiritual energy, is a perfect feng shui treasure.

The burial ceremony is elaborate, but seeing the weather is bad and rain could fall at any moment, Yu Fusheng decided to simplify the ritual.

However, just as the coffin was being lowered into the ground, it suddenly started to rain. The wind howled violently, the downpour flooded everything, and the world was engulfed in a dark gloom, with the freezing wind and cold rain almost making it impossible to open one’s eyes.

A bolt of lightning split the gloomy sky, and one of the coffin bearers slipped. The golden nanmu coffin, drenched by the torrential rain, tumbled into the grave, and one of its corners slammed heavily against the wall of the grave.

All of the coffin bearers turned pale, and the person who slipped fell onto the ground with a thud.

Thunder rumbled and exploded across the sky, and the ground beneath seemed to tremble.

Yu Ruohuan cursed loudly, "What the hell are you doing, disturbing the spirit of my ancestral grandmother? Do any of you want to live?"

Yu Fusheng’s face was even darker and more terrifying; he cast a glance, making the people shiver with fear.

An incident such as this at a burial is considered to be a major omen of misfortune.

Wei Zhuhua sighed deeply and silently recited, "Amitabha."

After the coffin was lowered, professionals proceeded with sealing the grave. The accompanying personnel quickly put up rain covers, and everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Just as the sealing of the grave was nearing completion, another bolt of lightning struck, coincidentally hitting a large tree near the grave. After swaying for a moment, it crashed down towards the grave.

If not for the timely evasion by the people sealing the grave, they would have been crushed, certainly injured or killed.

Everyone was shell-shocked.

From obstructing rocks in the path, bizarre weather, to this tree being struck down by lightning...

All of it seemed too eerie, too ominous.

The burial route for Old Mrs. Yu was filled with variables, and no one knew what sin had been committed.

Yu Ruohuan furrowed her brows, an inexplicable unease rising in her heart.

She glanced at the silent Wei Zhuhua, who seemed uninvolved, then at Yu Fusheng, whose face was as dark as a pot bottom, and instinctively said, "Father, I feel something’s off. Should we invite Master Li to have a look?"

This Li Tianxing, during ancestral grandmother’s lifetime, was the most trusted Taoist Heavenly Master. However, Master Li later became very pricey and would not easily make an appearance.

Rumor has it that he is doing exceptionally well over in Xiang River, only providing feng shui consultations for big bosses, with an appearance fee starting at seven figures. Getting him to come out even once isn’t easy. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

At this moment, Yu Fusheng had no choice but to shudder with dread, and ordered Han Li to spare no expense in inviting Heavenly Master Li out.

The sealing of the grave was postponed, and as the rain continued intensifying, the group had no choice but to descend the mountain first.

If you’re willing to bear the cost, there’s no one you can’t get to come down from the mountain.

In the middle of the night, a discreet sedan stopped outside the old residence of the Yu family, and a man dressed in white Taoist robes got out. With a swing of his horsetail whisk, he looked at the old residence in front of him and clicked his tongue in admiration.

Yu Fusheng personally went out to welcome him, "Heavenly Master Li, forgive us for not coming out to meet you earlier."

Li Tianxing carefully observed Yu Fusheng’s face and shook his head.

Yu Fusheng’s heart lurched, and he instinctively asked, "Master, is there something wrong?"

"All fortunes have run their course; not even heaven can help now. Sorry to have disturbed you."

With those words, he turned to leave.

Yu Fusheng’s face changed, and he quickly stepped forward to block Li Tianxing’s path, urgently saying, "Heavenly Master Li, my grandmother most trusted you in her lifetime, calling you a great Taoist master with powerful abilities. Now that my grandmother has passed, strange things keep happening. If you can lend a hand, I will surely offer a generous reward."

Li Tianxing clicked his tongue, "What good is money if there’s no life left to enjoy it."

With a mocking laugh, he showed a hint of derision in his eyes, "Enjoyed prosperity for years, but one must know when greed swallows an elephant, words have been spoken, take care."

Finished speaking, he left with great strides.

Yu Fusheng waved expressionlessly.

A group of people emerged from the shadows, blocking Li Tianxing’s path.

Li Tianxing turned back, his white Taoist robes fluttering in the night breeze, giving him a bit of an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

"Mr. Yu, what are you doing?"

Yu Fusheng said word by word, "Please, Master, solve our mystery."

It wasn’t a request, but a threat.

Li Tianxing laughed with anger, "Fine, it looks like you won’t give up until you hit a wall. Do you have tea? I’m thirsty."

Yu Fusheng gestured invitingly, "Master, this way."

In the reception hall, Li Tianxing drank down a large cup of tea, raising his sleeve to wipe his mouth, his movements casually revealing a bit of elegance.

He glanced across at Yu Fusheng, "Since there are only the two of us here, I’ll speak plainly. My late master was once a favored guest of Old Madam Yu, and sixty years ago, he performed rituals for Old Madam Yu, borrowing fortune to alter fate."

The more Yu Fusheng listened, the tighter his brow knitted.

"This kind of forbidden technique defies the heavens, and soon after, my master suffered karmic retribution, losing all his Taoist abilities, while your Yu family, through borrowed fortune, thrived and prospered. But all that fortune ended the moment Old Madam passed."

Li Tianxing sneered, "They say borrowing, but in truth, it was stealing. And things stolen must eventually be repaid. My master has already suffered retribution, and your Yu family must also repay. This is the cause and effect."

"Borrowing fortune?" Yu Fusheng was clearly in disbelief.

"The year of Yichou, the month of Guiwei, the day of Renyin, the hour of Xin chou, that person’s Eight Characters." Li Tianxing’s light words exploded in his ears like a thunderbolt.

Yu Fusheng jerked his head up, "It was... it was...."

Those are the Eight Characters of Sang Ziming.

"It doesn’t stop there; she also had my master perform rituals to suppress the woman’s soul, to never be reincarnated. But..."

Li Tianxing suddenly curled into a peculiar smile.

"But what?" Yu Fusheng instinctively pursued the question.

"Before his death, my master told me he had long calculated that there was a glimmer of hope for that woman’s descendants to escape the cycle and end this Chapter of cause and effect. When that happens, the Yu family will face retribution."

The word "retribution" landed like a heavy hammer in Yu Fusheng’s heart.

"Heavenly Master, how can I save the Yu family?"

Li Tianxing raised his eyebrows, "Having enjoyed what shouldn’t have been enjoyed, you must bear the karmic repercussions you should bear, otherwise, it will only spiral out of control."

Yu Fusheng’s gaze bore into him, icily saying, "Surely, Master has a way."

Li Tianxing sneered, "Oh? You want me to defy fate once more and steal fortune for you again? Addicted to stealing, are you? Get real, I’m not as foolish as my master."

Yu Fusheng placed a handgun on the table, silently threatening.

Li Tianxing remained unfazed, "Here’s some advice; start doing good deeds from now, accumulate virtue and blessings, there may still be a turn of events. Otherwise, your family’s wealth will crumble in an instant, injured or killed."

With those words, he didn’t spare another glance, got up, and left with large strides.

At the door, he paused and tilted his head slightly.

"Chicken roosts in Feng’s nest, the virtue does not match the position, Feng’s chick returns to its place, and Gao sings in the nine heavens."

With that, he whirled his sleeves and left.

All things in the world are born of the cycle of cause and effect; Old Mrs. Yu started this cause, and naturally, her descendants will taste this bitter fruit.

No one can escape it.
