The Feng Shui Treasure Appraiser

53: Chapter 53 Qing Dynasty Qianlong Blue and White Plum Vase with Sea and Cloud Dragon DesignHan Jingyang and Liu Jing spent a long time discussing the renovation of Jiguang Zhai. The more they talked, the more excited they became, eventually searching for related cases online.

As a result, both of them were stunned.

The more they scrolled, the more confused they became.

This one looked good, and that one didn’t seem bad either; they were spoiled for choice.

When they finally managed to reach a consensus, they realized it not only exceeded their budget but also far surpassed the house’s structure and area.

It was truly a case of ’entering the forum with a three-thousand budget and leaving with a thirty-thousand build’...

Until Han Jingyang received the second wave of messages from Juhao.

There wasn’t much information this time, only He Dingkun’s itinerary and the most likely place he would sleep tonight.

Han Jingyang tentatively sent a message asking, ”Does He Dingkun have any plans or reactions regarding me?”

After a long while, Juhao replied, ”He had people guarding the ancestral grave last night and sought a powerful protective talisman from Thousand Buddha Mountain. It’s a temple-treasure-level talisman. He plans to contact you again, but not in person.”

Han Jingyang raised an eyebrow.

Does this mean He Dingkun has chickened out?

Otherwise, why bother with further contact?

Couldn’t he just start a direct confrontation?

However, things had already reached a point where there was no room for reconciliation. He had practically overturned the He family’s ancestral grave. If He Dingkun found out, he would surely explode with rage.

The good news was that He Dingkun indeed hadn’t noticed anything unusual at the ancestral grave.

Fortunately, he had moved fast enough last night; otherwise, he might have been cornered by He Dingkun’s men.

Moreover, since He Dingkun didn’t have the intention of fighting to the death for the time being, he could play along and delay for time, waiting to see when the trap he dug at the He family’s ancestral grave would erupt.

If he could wait for He Dingkun to ruin himself, that would be for the best; there would be no need for him and Liu Jing to take risks.

Unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to face He Dingkun head-on.

Because even if he won a direct confrontation, it would consume more skills, expose more of his cards, and carry more risks.

Unfortunately, He Dingkun was now on guard. Not only had he obtained a more powerful protective talisman, but he was also deliberately avoiding a face-to-face meeting.

In other words, his two attacks yesterday had not only failed to take effect but had also alerted the enemy, putting He Dingkun on high alert.

This was truly bad news.

Han Jingyang took a breath and continued to ask, ”Who are the dangerous people around He Dingkun that I need to pay special attention to?”

”Great Monk Kongyun of Xingguo Zen Temple, an accomplished monk with unknown supernatural powers who can consecrate and bless Buddhist dharma instruments; Liu San, a Xingyi Quan master with extreme combat power and ruthless methods, He Dingkun’s top assassin; Shi Xiaoya, He Dingkun’s driver, nanny, bodyguard, and personal assistant—a former model and Xingyi Quan master skilled in firearms, she is He Dingkun’s most trusted person; Xue Xinming, from Gan Province, a metaphysics expert skilled in curses who can kill invisibly and is exceptionally mysterious—rumor has it he played a crucial role in He Dingkun’s rise.”

After reading the profiles of these four people, Han Jingyang’s mind was in turmoil.

He Dingkun actually has such talents under him?

Shi Xiaoya and Liu San were one thing; they were still normal people.

But what about Great Monk Kongyun and Xue Xinming?

Fellow practitioners of metaphysics?

A great monk and a folk sorcerer—they didn’t seem to match at all, yet both were willing to work for He Dingkun.

He could only lament that money was indeed a powerful thing, truly capable of making the devil turn the millstone.

And these two ’ghosts’ weren’t just any minor spirits, but lethal, vengeful ones.

Great Monk Kongyun was manageable, as he only made small items like protective talismans to help He Dingkun protect himself.

But that Xue Xinming from Gan Province was a formidable character who could actually use curses to kill people.

This was even more sinister than his Feng Shui techniques. If one were to fall victim to it, there would likely be no way out but death.
