Chapter 64: The Four Symbols Annihilated:
Chen Bansheng’s loud slap on the table caught the attention of most of the guests in the villa.
Many of them started gathering around, either out of curiosity or just wanting to witness the commotion.
After all, human beings were naturally curious, and the wealthy were no exception.
At this moment, Chen Bansheng was too focused on the video in his hand to notice the growing crowd.
His face was filled with disbelief as he watched the footage.
The video showed a man dressed in shorts, a short-sleeved shirt, and sneakers, working outside an inconspicuous fence. He was moving stones, shifting trees, and burying objects.
While others might not understand what this was, Chen Bansheng knew all too well.
The video was of him altering the Feng Shui of the Lu family’s property.
He swallowed hard, his mind racing with panic.
How was this possible?
How could they have recorded this?
It didn’t make any sense—he had been so careful, ensuring no one was around before he started.
Bai Qingzhi, sitting next to him, noticed the video but didn’t recognize the man as Chen Bansheng.
However, she could see the sweat forming on his forehead.
She asked with concern, "Bansheng, are you feeling okay? Are you unwell?"
Despite her concern, having just witnessed Chen Bansheng secure a favor for her, she felt obligated to show some care.
Chen Bansheng quickly covered his discomfort by clutching his stomach: "I’m sorry, I have a bit of a stomach ache. I need to go to the restroom."
"Trying to run away? Go ahead, try it." Lu Yu sneered.
Chen Bansheng quickly tried to excuse himself, "I really need to go to the restroom. I’ll explain everything when I get back, alright?"
"No!" Lu Yu’s voice was firm.
Bai Qingzhi, now visibly upset, snapped, "Lu Yu, what are you doing? Bansheng just needs to use the restroom. Why won’t you let him go?"
"Be quiet!" Lu Yu’s tone was cold as he turned his attention back to Chen Bansheng. "If you dare take one step, I’ll have your legs broken."
"Isn't that going a bit too far, Lu Yu?" Wu Xianqiang, unaware of the video’s content, spoke up in defense of Chen Bansheng.
"Too far?" Lu Yu responded with a playful smile. "Well, since everyone is here today, I think it’s a good time to show everyone what this guy really is." He turned to Li Yi, asking, "Uncle Li, may I borrow your television for a moment?"
The Li family had already noticed the commotion, and Li Yi was among the crowd.
With a slight nod, he gave Lu Yu the go-ahead.
Without delay, Lu Yu had the Li family’s servant connect the MP4 player to the television. The large TV screen in the villa was like a movie theater, ensuring everyone in the living room could see clearly.
Soon, the video appeared on the screen.
The footage, captured with a high-definition infrared camera, remained clear even on the large display.
"What is this?" someone asked.
"Is it a video?"
"No, it looks like surveillance footage."
"Yeah, it’s surveillance."
"What is that guy doing? Digging holes?"
While many were confused by the video, Lu Mingyuan and Xiao Yanmei frowned as they recognized the location—it was the ancestral home of the Lu family. And the man on the screen was none other than Chen Bansheng.
"Everyone, please be quiet." Lu Yu spoke calmly as he stepped forward.
The room fell silent.
"You might not be familiar with Feng Shui, so you may not understand what’s happening here," Lu Yu began, "but what you’re seeing is the setup of a dangerous formation."
"Oh?" The surprised voice came from a middle-aged man standing beside Li Yi.
Lu Yu glanced at him, intrigued. "It seems we have an expert among us?"
The man quickly responded, "I wouldn’t call myself an expert, but I know a little about Feng Shui."
"Oh, I see. You must be Master Long from Ha Long Shi Xing," Lu Yu remarked, narrowing his eyes.
In the original plot, this man was the same Master Long who had been publicly humiliated by Chen Bansheng.
What was he doing here?
Pushing his thoughts aside, Lu Yu continued, "Since you’re familiar with Feng Shui, can you identify what kind of malicious formation he’s setting up?"
Master Long looked uncomfortable. "I’m sorry, Young Master Lu. I can tell it’s a malicious formation, but I can’t specify which one."
This was understandable—after all, in the plot, Master Long’s abilities were overshadowed by Chen Bansheng’s. It was normal that he couldn’t pinpoint the exact formation.
"Look, see how this movement creates a dead zone? And this swing creates Yin Sha?" Lu Yu explained, pointing out the intricacies of the formation on the screen with the TV remote and a laser pointer.
"I had some disputes with Chen Bansheng over a woman, and in retaliation, he altered the Feng Shui of my home," Lu Yu explained. "If I hadn’t been cautious enough to set up surveillance, my family wouldn’t be here today."
As Lu Yu detailed Chen Bansheng’s actions, the expressions of the onlookers changed.
Even those who didn’t fully believe in Feng Shui were disturbed by Chen Bansheng’s actions.
Using one’s abilities to secretly harm others out of jealousy was despicable, and the mention of the Four Symbols Annihilation Array—a formation that sounded anything but harmless—only made things worse.
Meanwhile, Chen Bansheng was growing more anxious.
How did Lu Yu know Feng Shui? And not only know it, but understand the intricacies of his layout?
[Ding! Chen Bansheng’s mindset has shifted, obtained 500 destiny points.]
Master Long confirmed, "Yes, what was once a blessed area has been turned into a place of destruction by this vicious formation. This young man is truly ruthless..."
As Master Long looked between Chen Bansheng and Lu Yu, his face was filled with disbelief.
"What is the Four Symbols Annihilation Array?" Li Yi asked curiously.
Master Long was a Feng Shui expert brought by Li Yi from the capital city, but even he seemed unsure of the full details.
Master Long hesitated before answering, "It’s hard to explain. In short, it’s a high-level and vicious formation. It’s said that if this Feng Shui formation is set up in someone’s ancestral home, it can lead to the annihilation of everyone who lives there within a short time."
"What? Annihilation? Does that mean death?"
"Yes."
"My God! How could he be so cruel?"
"I didn’t expect someone so young to have such a vicious heart."
The wealthy guests, who had originally gathered to watch the drama unfold, now looked at Chen Bansheng with anger.
Even those who didn’t believe in Feng Shui were disgusted by his actions.
For Master Long, hearing about the Four Symbols Annihilation Array was a significant blow.
It was an advanced formation, one that he couldn’t see, let alone break.
Now, not only could Chen Bansheng use it, but Lu Yu also recognized it.
How could these two young men surpass him, a master who had studied Feng Shui for nearly 40 years?
Chen Bansheng’s face paled as Lu Yu’s cold gaze fixed on him.
"Chen Bansheng, what do you have to say for yourself?"
Everyone turned their attention to Chen Bansheng, who was now visibly panicking.
Desperate, he tried to deny it. "I… I didn’t do it… The video is fake… You edited it…"
Lu Yu remained calm. "If you think the video is fake, there are plenty of experts here who can verify its authenticity."
The wealthy guests weren’t fools.
It was clear who was telling the truth.
Even Bai Qingzhi, who had defended Chen Bansheng earlier, now looked at him in disbelief. "Bansheng, is that really you in the video?"
