Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Haphazard Matchmaking

”This isn’t about giving him a chance,” Hu Yidao corrected her with great seriousness. ”We *must* secure him! A young man this outstanding... this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”

”Okay, okay, I get it!”

Nearby, Shen Manwen grew a little nervous and quickly interjected, ”Uncle, please don’t try to play matchmaker! Brother Cheng is already married. His wife is my best friend, Lin Ruoxi.”

Lin Ruoxi??

Hu Yidao couldn’t help but frown. ”Manwen, you need to watch what you say. I might even believe you if you said Cheng Yuan was your husband, but Lin Ruoxi? That’s impossible. Just a few days ago, the Lin Family and the Gu Family established a marriage contract! Even if Lin Ruoxi were to get married, it should be to Gu Chen!”

Shen Manwen explained, ”The Lin Family did have a marriage contract with the Gu Family, but Ruoxi refused to accept an arranged marriage for a family alliance. She ran away to escape it, secretly fleeing the Provincial City for Luocheng, where she married Cheng Yuan.”

Hu Yidao’s brow furrowed again. ”So you’re saying Lin Ruoxi and Xiaoyuan rushed into marriage?”

”Yes.”

”I see. Xiaoyuan must be the shield Lin Ruoxi found for herself. That’s easy enough to solve. As long as I put the word out, the Lin Family won’t dare force Lin Ruoxi to marry Gu Chen anymore. Then she won’t need a shield and can divorce Xiaoyuan.”

”Uncle, at first, I also thought Ruoxi was just using him as a shield. But after observing them for the past few days, I’ve noticed that what started as an act is becoming real for her.”

’The act is becoming real?’

Hu Yidao snorted. ”So what if it is? Xiaoyuan is an Ancient Martial Arts expert. He’s destined to become an Innate Grandmaster, perhaps even a Martial King revered by all! With his medical skills on top of that, he has a great chance of becoming the Martial Arts Alliance Leader. For a powerhouse like him, having a few wives is perfectly normal. When the time comes, Lin Ruoxi can just be one of the junior wives.”

This...

Shen Manwen was at a loss for words. Her own father had two other wives, and the man before her, Hu Yidao, had three.

The thought made Shen Manwen’s heart race.

She had secretly developed feelings for Cheng Yuan ever since he helped her adjust her Cultivation Technique. After their trip to the Provincial City, her admiration for him had only grown, strengthening those feelings.

To avoid hurting her friendship with Ruoxi, Shen Manwen had always been careful to keep her distance and never cross any lines.

But Hu Yidao’s words revealed a whole new possibility.

With the potential Cheng Yuan was displaying, he could definitely build a massive family no less powerful than the Hu Family. When that happened, in order to expand his lineage, Cheng Yuan might really take on several wives.

’Ruoxi, I’m sorry. I have to be selfish this once.’

Shen Manwen no longer tried to stop Hu Yidao, tactfully keeping her mouth shut.

Unaware that he was being targeted, Cheng Yuan took two steps forward and said in a deep voice, ”Uncle, we can eat later. The most urgent matter right now is to adjust the Hu Mansion’s Feng Shui Formation. That’s the only way to completely dispel the Evil Qi in Grandpa Hu’s room.”

”Good! What do you need me to do?”

”I need a few copper coins.”

Hu Yidao turned his head and ordered, ”Go, find some copper coins at once!”

Housekeeper Niu Fu bowed his head. ”Yes, Master.”

Soon, Niu Fu returned with some copper coins and handed them to Cheng Yuan. ”Divine Doctor Cheng, will these do?”

Cheng Yuan activated his Double Pupil to inspect them, a satisfied look on his face. The coins were all faintly emitting a subtle aura, a clear sign they were genuine.

”They’ll do.”

On the way over, Cheng Yuan had already activated his Double Pupil, getting a clear look at all the Earth Veins within the Hu Mansion.

He had also identified all the components the original Feng Shui Master used to set up the formation.

”Housekeeper Niu, please find a few strong young men and prepare a few shovels.”

”Yes, of course.”

Soon, the strong young men and shovels arrived. Cheng Yuan led the group straight toward one of the Earth Veins.

Under Cheng Yuan’s guidance, they arrived at a small pavilion. He raised his hand and pointed to the ground on the pavilion’s west side. ”Dig a two-meter-deep hole here.”

”Yes, sir.”

The young men threw themselves into the work.

Nearby, Hu Yidao’s eyes glinted. ’Looks like Xiaoyuan really does understand Feng Shui!’

He remembered that the master back then had buried the core of the Feng Shui Formation right here, at a depth of about 1.8 meters.

These young men were all martial artists, and they moved with incredible speed. In just over ten minutes, they had dug a pit nearly two meters deep.

CLANG! A shovel hit something hard.

”We found it! We hit something!”

One young man shouted in excitement. Then, as if they’d been injected with stimulants, the rest of the men swarmed, quickly digging out a slate block inscribed with ’Taishan Stone Guardian’.

Hu Yidao was thoroughly impressed. ”Xiaoyuan, you’re incredible! Finding something buried this deep... it’s like you have X-ray Vision.”

The speaker was careless, but the listener paid close attention.

Cheng Yuan’s pupils contracted slightly. He smiled. ”It would be nice to have X-ray Vision. I just used my knowledge of Feng Shui Formations to pinpoint the core.”

”Hahaha, whatever the case, it just proves how amazing you are, Xiaoyuan!”

Cheng Yuan smiled, selected a copper coin, and placed it at the location of the Earth Vein’s core. ”Fill it in,” he said gently.

”Yes, sir!”

The young men got busy, and the pit was quickly filled.

For the next few locations, Cheng Yuan deliberately chose two wrong spots, making several adjustments before successfully digging up the formation cores placed by the Feng Shui Master.

Cheng Yuan feigned self-reproach. ”You praised me too soon. I made two mistakes in a row. It seems I still have a lot more Cultivation to do!”

Hu Yidao knew Cheng Yuan was just being modest and laughed. ”Xiaoyuan, you’re already incredibly skilled! I watched them bury the cores with my own eyes back then, and if you asked me to dig them up now, I’d be lucky to find two! I don’t think even that Feng Shui Master could find them as accurately as you!”

Cheng Yuan grinned. ”I’ll take that as a compliment, Uncle!”

As he spoke, he selected another copper coin and placed it over the exit of an Earth Vein.

”Fill it up. The new Feng Shui Formation is set. The Evil Qi in Grandpa Hu’s room has been completely neutralized!”

The moment his words fell, Hu Yidao felt a gentle breeze spring up beside him. As it washed over him, his spirits were greatly lifted!

The faint, oppressive feeling was gone.

Then, Hu Yidao felt the air around him grow much fresher as wisps of Spiritual Qi seeped into his body through his pores.

Hu Yidao subconsciously circulated his Inner Power Heart Method. His True Essence began to revolve rapidly. In less than two minutes, it had completed one Great Cycle!

This left Hu Yidao utterly shocked!

Before, it took him three minutes to complete one Great Cycle. Now, it only took two. His Cultivation efficiency had increased by a third!

’This Feng Shui Formation’s effect is just too powerful!’

Hu Yidao looked at Cheng Yuan with a fervent gaze. ’This kid is an absolute treasure!’

’If there’s a chance, I must keep Cheng Yuan in the Hu Family. I will pour all of our resources into cultivating him!’
