After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Master Qi? Master Qi? What's wrong?"

When Zhao Wuyai noticed that Master Qi had remained silent for a long time, he finally realized something was wrong and asked with some confusion.

"Um... what's the full name of the adopted son of the Ye family you mentioned earlier?"

Master Qi stared intently at Ye Bai's retreating figure, swallowed hard, and asked.

"His name is Ye Bai! Surname Ye, and he's an idiot. His name is quite fitting, haha."

Zhao Wuyai burst into laughter, clearly finding his clever interpretation of the name's hidden meaning hilarious.

To his surprise, Master Qi not only didn't laugh, but his body trembled violently, almost causing him to throw away the valuable Buddhist beads in his hand.

"What's wrong? Master Qi, do you actually know such a nobody?"

A strange light flashed in Zhao Wuyai's eyes, and he asked in a deep voice.

Although he was arrogant, he wasn't stupid and had already realized that something was wrong.

Before Master Qi could even answer, Ye Bai had already turned around and greeted him with a smile.

"Old Qi, it's been a long time."

It turns out that this so-called Master Qi was none other than Qi Bowen, a very famous feng shui master in Jingzhou.

In terms of lineage and background, they are also members of the Xuanmen (Taoist) sect.

Coincidentally, Qi Bowen was one of the few people in the Xuanmen sect who was acquainted with Ye Bai.

Although Ye Bai was a junior celestial master of the Xuanmen sect, he had very few real interactions with people.

The vast majority of people only know the name but have never met the person in person.

"sky……"

Upon seeing Ye Bai's appearance clearly, Qi Bowen's legs began to tremble with excitement.

Just as he was pondering which form of address to use to greet him, Zhao Wuyai, standing to the side, looked at Ye Bai and scolded, "You adopted son of the Ye family, are you tired of living? How dare you use such a derogatory term for Master Qi?"

"Hmm, you're the same way, then I'll also be called 'Master Qi'?"

Ye Bai nodded readily, but Qi Bowen was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

It's okay for others to call him "Master," it's even perfectly natural for them.

The fact that Ye Bai, a powerful figure in the Xuanmen sect, called him "Master" made Qi Bowen feel that the day he would be put into a box was not far off.

Regardless of whether Ye Bai will hold a grudge or make things difficult for him in the future, those masters of the Xuanmen sects will be able to make his life miserable.

For an ancient tradition like the Xuanmen, what is valued most is not skill, but seniority.

Even a newborn baby, as long as the seniority is there, a 60 or 70-year-old man has to respectfully treat him as an elder.

Not to mention, this big shot in front of us is not only senior in terms of seniority, but also possesses the most powerful and unique esoteric techniques in the world!

So at this moment, Zhao Wuyai seemed to be standing up for him, but Qi Bowen had the urge to slap this stupid son of the Zhao family to death.

This is such a rip-off!

"Um... Mr. Ye, you're too kind. Just call me Lao Qi. Fame is just a passing cloud..."

Taking a deep breath, Qi Bowen quickly tried to salvage the situation.

From Ye Bai's attitude, he had vaguely realized that this big shot did not want to reveal his identity as the Xuanmen Little Celestial Master.

Since that's the case, he naturally has to cooperate obediently.

"Master Qi, why are you being so polite to this young man?"

Zhao Wuyai was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out, and he was completely dumbfounded.

If Qi Bowen were truly the kind of person who was approachable and didn't like to put on airs, that would be one thing. But judging from our interactions over this period of time, this feng shui master not only had a great reputation and high skills, but also loved to put on airs.

Even when facing his father, King Yan, he remained neither humble nor arrogant, displaying the demeanor of a reclusive sage.

Why would she lower herself to Ye Bai like that?

Could it be... because of the Qin family?

Zhao Wuyai felt a sudden chill, and the images of two people flashed through his mind.

Qin Wanqing and Old Madam Qin!

The former needs no further explanation; she is the Queen of Jingzhou, even acknowledged by the Governor of Jingzhou!

Among the younger generation of wealthy families in Jingzhou, none can match him!

Even someone as proud as him had to admit that Qin Wanqing was far superior to them in terms of ability.

Given the right amount of time to grow, he will likely become the undisputed leader of the Jingzhou elite families within ten years at most!

At that time, even the older generation will be firmly suppressed by them.

Needless to say, their peers will probably not even be worthy of carrying their shoes in the future.

It's quite normal for Qi Bowen to give face to such a person.

Zhao Wuyai had heard that even the feng shui of the Qin Group headquarters building was personally arranged by Qi Bowen.

But compared to Qin Wanqing, the most terrifying member of the Qin family is still the old matriarch.

Zhao Wuyai did not experience the era when Old Madam Qin was in charge of the Qin family, but he had heard many rumors about it.

The reason why the Qin family was able to maintain its position as the head of the four major families in Jingzhou had nothing to do with Qin Wanqing or her father, Qin Shengjin.

The one who truly laid the foundation for the Qin family's success was Old Madam Qin!

Just from this, you can tell how terrifying that old woman is!

Although he is now old and has long since retired, his deterrent power remains.

Although Qi Bowen was a feng shui master, he was still a mortal, so it was only natural that he was wary of Old Lady Qin.

These are probably the reasons why Qi Bowen was so polite to Ye Bai.

After a moment of mental contemplation, Zhao Wuyai finally understood, and the doubts that had arisen before gradually dissipated.

"By the way, I just heard that you're going to arrange the feng shui for this young master of the Zhao family?"

As Ye Bai picked up a king crab leg and gnawed on it, he asked casually.

Lulu, that silly girl, is quite intelligent when it comes to appreciating food, though she may not be good at anything else.

The king crab legs were indeed delicious, and the ingredients were incredibly fresh. They were smooth, tender, and sweet, making them one of the best dishes at the banquet.

"Yes, Young Master Zhao's company has recently run into some problems and wants my help to resolve them..."

Qi Bowen quickly answered, then couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat.

From Zhao Wuyai's attitude towards Ye Bai, he could tell that the two of them didn't get along at all.

"What do you mean by asking these questions, Mr. Ye? You don't actually think you have enough influence to prevent Master Qi from helping me, do you?"

Zhao Wuyai sneered, increasingly convinced that this adopted son of the Ye family was an idiot.

It's true that Qi Bowen was a feng shui master, and it's also true that these wealthy families worship him. But this is actually a kind of mutual benefit, a win-win situation.

Wealthy families need feng shui masters to help them make money, while feng shui masters also need wealthy families to help them gain fame and make even more money.

They hired them to arrange the feng shui, and they paid high prices for it.

While the Qin family's background might make Qi Bowen treat Ye Bai with courtesy, it also makes him turn down money that's already in his hands.

This is absolutely a huge joke!

To his surprise, Ye Bai actually nodded upon hearing this, and then looked at Qi Bowen and said, "Reject his job and put him on the blacklist from now on."

"Yes."

Qi Bowen responded, then turned to Zhao Wuyai and said, "Young Master Zhao, I'm sorry, I can't take your business. You'd better find someone else."

"what?"

Zhao Wuyai was completely dumbfounded, his jaw nearly dropping in astonishment, almost doubting whether he was hallucinating...
