Zhou Renjie listened to his disciple Xiao He's words, his brow furrowed. He then looked at Xiao He and said, "Are you saying that Lin Hao's villa is a place where heavenly secrets are naturally obscured?"
"I think it's very possible," Xiao He nodded.
"If it's not natural, then it must be artificially obscuring heavenly secrets."
"But to artificially obscure heavenly secrets, one must at least be at the Great Perfection of the Human Rank Diviner realm."
"Moreover, even at the Great Perfection of the Human Rank Diviner realm, one can only obscure heavenly secrets within a radius of one to two hundred meters at a time."
"But from the villa where Lin Hao lives, I only felt a sense of clarity after I had walked quite a distance away."
"That distance is at least one to two kilometers."
"This means that the area where heavenly secrets were obscured at that time was not just Lin Hao's villa. Lin Hao's villa was just one of those places."
"So I think the obscuring of heavenly secrets at Lin Hao's villa should have formed naturally."
Xiao He said this, a cold look appeared on her face, and then she continued to look at Zhou Renjie and said, "It's just that Lin Hao noticed this long ago, which is why he chose that location for the competition."
"Your analysis is good, but you've overlooked one point," Zhou Renjie said, looking at Xiao He with half-closed eyes. "Have you forgotten how he won?"
"If that place was truly obscuring heavenly secrets, then how did he manage to read fortunes for Zheng Qinglong and Jiang Chengda, those two scoundrels?"
"If that place truly obscured heavenly secrets naturally, let alone Lin Hao, even my elder brother would not necessarily be able to read fortunes for others there."
"You must know that my elder brother is a half-step Earth Rank Diviner, with one foot already stepping into the door of a Diviner Grandmaster."
Hearing Zhou Renjie mention his elder brother, Xiao He couldn't help but feel even more respect.
Although she was a girl, she had loved things like Qimen術法 (mystical arts) since she was young.
She was also very talented, and as early as the age of fifteen, she had become Zhou Renjie's disciple and had been learning by his side.
In recent days, she had even begun to practice personally, reading fortunes for others.
It was only a matter of time before she was fully qualified.
Everyone she met bowed and respectfully addressed her as Mr. Xiao He.
And now, hearing her master mention his own elder brother, she couldn't help but yearn for it even more.
However, she also knew that her master Zhou Renjie's elder brother, Zhou Renxiong, was a prodigy of heaven, and she feared she would never have the hope of catching up to her martial uncle Zhou Renxiong in this lifetime.
In this lifetime, it would be very good and satisfying for her to keep pace with her master Zhou Renjie, let alone hope for anything else.
After all, her master was already the number one person in the divination world of Modu.
Not to mention how young her master was, if a few more years passed, it would be very possible for him to conquer the Central Plains.
Thinking of these things, Xiao He couldn't help but sigh, "Even if my martial uncle is not capable now, once he enters the Earth Rank Diviner realm and becomes a Grandmaster, everything will be a mere trifle for him."
"Grandmaster."
Zhou Renjie's expression froze, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Would his Zhou family also produce a Grandmaster?
Thinking of this, Zhou Renjie suppressed his excitement and forced himself to remain calm, saying, "Becoming a Grandmaster is not something that can be achieved so easily."
"It's easy to say, but hard to do."
"So, let's not get happy too early. Although my elder brother is destined to become a Grandmaster in the future, we still need to keep a low profile now and not cause trouble for my elder brother."
"Yes, Master's teachings are wise."
"Alright, you may go. I am tired."
"Master, what about Lin Hao..."
"Lin Hao?"
Zhou Renjie sneered, then said with disdain, "Although I made an oath of karma, promising not to drive him out of Modu if I lost."
"However, that oath of karma was made by me alone. You didn't make it, and others didn't either."
"If I don't drive him out, and others want to drive him out, what does that have to do with me?"
Xiao He's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she immediately bowed and said, "Master is brilliant."
Zhou Renjie smiled, then said, "Putting aside other things, the place where Lin Hao is staying is indeed a good place."
"Heavenly secrets are naturally obscured. Such a place is hard to find even within the industry."
"If I give this place to my elder brother, he will surely be very happy."
Xiao He was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood and bowed, "Master, I will go and do it now."
"No need," Zhou Renjie waved his hand, then looked at Xiao He and said, "As long as others drive Lin Hao out of Modu, won't Liu Yongchang obediently deliver that villa to us?"
"Oh, right, I remember Lai Qingsheng also has a villa there."
"When the time comes, we'll move there too and become neighbors with my elder brother."
As Zhou Renjie said this, he seemed to see himself becoming neighbors with his elder brother, and he burst into happy laughter.
At this moment, all the frustration he had felt from Lin Hao that morning instantly vanished.
Xiao He smiled happily as she watched Zhou Renjie laugh.
...
In a villa in Modu.
Wang Sheng held a glass of red wine, and Tang Xiaoli sat opposite him.
The two of them were leisurely drinking red wine.
For the past two days, they had been living extremely comfortably and contentedly.
Wang Sheng's father had successfully taken the position of hospital director, and Wang Sheng had also risen with the tide, directly becoming the head of a department.
As for Tang Xiaoli, she had also soared, directly taking the position of head nurse.
Tang Xiaoli had finally achieved her long-desired position.
At the same time, she had also thoroughly humiliated the original head nurse, demoting her to an ordinary frontline nurse.
She had originally wanted to force this person to resign, but on second thought, letting her resign was not as satisfying as making her work under her nose.
Therefore, she had kept the original head nurse.
Even when the original head nurse submitted her resignation letter, she did not approve it, and even tore it up in front of her.
For the past two days, she had truly enjoyed herself.
And like her, Wang Sheng felt as if he had reached the peak of his life.
However, his father's ability to quickly ascend to the position of director was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Of course, he didn't bother to manage these things; as long as his father became the director, that was enough.
Now that his father had finally taken the position of director, he was going to join forces with his cousin Song Cheng to start a medical company.
Once the company was set up and collaborated with their hospital, it would be their time to lie down and count money.
"By the way, why has that kid Lin Hao been so quiet these past two days?" Wang Sheng asked Tang Xiaoli, taking a sip of red wine.
"Who knows? He's probably delivering takeout again," Tang Xiaoli said with a disdainful smile.
"Let's go and take a look," Wang Sheng put down his wine glass, chuckled, and said with a smug air.
