Ao Yun pulled Ling Feng aside and said, "What are you hesitating for, lad? As long as we acquire that piece of land, even building a small thatched hut on it would be far better than these eighteen villas!"

In Ao Yun's view, external grandeur and comfort were barely worth mentioning!

Ling Feng was not swayed by Ao Yun's excitement. He frowned and said, "Do you have a way to build a house over the Formation Eye?"

Ao Yun proudly said, "That's a piece of cake for me. All it takes is constructing an Array around it that gathers the energy of the mountains. The mountain energy gathered by the Eighteen Stars Fiend's Formation Chart can then be used for your purpose!"

Ling Feng gave a slight smile. "That suggestion is indeed tempting, but I have one concern. If it's not addressed, I'm still feeling uneasy."

"What concern?"

"That is... who exactly built these eighteen villas? Since they were constructed according to the Eighteen Stars Fiend's Formation Chart, the builder must surely know the location of the Formation Eye!" Ling Feng said gravely. "Zhou Ling also mentioned earlier that they had tried building villas over the Formation Eye but had failed."

A look of surprise flashed through Ao Yun's eyes. He hadn't expected Ling Feng to maintain such high vigilance at this moment and detect something amiss.

"Another thing is, why do you know about this place?" Ling Feng's eyes burned as he looked at Ao Yun and said, "Without a satisfactory answer, I'm afraid I can't trust you so easily!"

Ling Feng couldn't help but feel suspicious because it was all too coincidental! Ao Yun seemed as if he had been waiting for him here deliberately, and this feeling of being monitored was quite unsettling to Ling Feng!

This gave Ling Feng the feeling that his fate was not in his own control, which was what he was most cautious about.

Ao Yun sighed and said, "Why are you so suspicious at such a young age? To tell you the truth, I was indeed waiting for you here because I had calculated that you would come here today."

"Calculated?" Ling Feng asked doubtfully.

Ao Yun nodded. "After successfully turning into a dragon, although my powers were sealed, I gained an ability from the Dragon Group—the True Dragon's Eye. The True Dragon's Eye can foresee the future, so…"

Ling Feng furrowed his brow. Seeing into the future? That reminded him of the Saints Association's Son of Prophecy, Alpha! Could there really be people in this world who can see into the future? If so, what would such a future look like?

"But you don't have to worry!" Ao Yun said calmly. "Fate and the future are constantly changing. Even if the future is seen, it can vary with the passage of time. Moreover, foreseeing the future doesn't mean actually seeing fragments of the future but merely receiving a prophecy of fate."

"Really?" Ling Feng expressed scepticism. "Since you can foresee the future, can you tell me what will happen next?"

Ao Yun looked at Ling Feng. "Seeing into the future requires a tremendous amount of mental energy. But since you're my Young Master, and since you want confirmation, I guess I'll try again!"

As he spoke, a rainbow light flashed in Ao Yun's eyes. Within three breaths, his face had paled. "Heh, it looks like acquiring that piece of land won't be smooth sailing after all. Trouble is about to arrive!"

Trouble is coming? Before Ling Feng could inquire further, a loud shouting voice was heard from afar: "Who are you people, and what are you doing here?"

Trouble really came! Ao Yun really had the knack for jinxing things, Ling Feng looked at him with some surprise.

A group of people approached, led by a middle-aged, fat man in a suit, who wore small glasses and looked at Zhou Ling and the others with malice.

"Manager Ma!" Zhou Ling rushed forward upon seeing the middle-aged man and said, "Manager Ma, hello, these people are my clients. I brought them here to look at these villas, they..."

"Looking at villas? Who are you?" Manager Ma said while yanking Zhou Ling's badge, looking at it coldly and saying, "You're just a mere intern, what authority do you have to bring people here? Do you really think you're some sales elite? Selling villas too? I think you must have gone mad with greed!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Ling Feng and the others disdainfully, "An old mess, a pair of youngsters, these are the clients you mentioned wanting to buy villas? Is your brain filled with grass? What kind of people dare you bring here? I think your IQ must be overdue! If you don't want to work here anymore, just get lost earlier; our company doesn't feed the useless!"

Zhou Ling was verbally abused until her face turned red and tears swirled in her eyes; she bit her lip, faced the harsh scolding of Manager Ma, and could only keep her head down, saying nothing.

It wasn't that she was cowardly, but she knew, what good would resisting do? Just to change another job? The world was inherently unfair and ruled by the law of the jungle!

Perhaps, when she first graduated, she fantasized that through her diligence, hard work, and effort she could provide a better life for her family! But having been tempered by society for many years, Zhou Ling understood that the world was not as simple as imagined, not something she could conquer with sheer passion alone!

All she could do was maintain the perseverance and kindness in her heart; as for stubbornness, for the sake of survival, she continually compromised, bit by bit!

"Who are you, to talk to people in such a manner!" Liu Tingyu couldn't stand it any longer, stepped forward, and said, "Even if you are Zhou Ling's supervisor, speaking to her like that is too much! She is an employee of your company, not your slave!"

Manager Ma saw Liu Tingyu, a flash of surprise in his eyes; he had only been focused on scolding Zhou Ling and hadn't noticed Liu Tingyu's striking beauty.

Under normal circumstances, he might have overlooked it for the sake of beauty, but not now!

Manager Ma snorted coldly and said, "Are you the ones who want to buy a villa? Don't be absurd! Leave immediately, you're not welcome here."

Liu Tingyu angrily said, "We are your customers, what right do you have to drive us away? What authority do you have!"

Ling Feng saw how rudely the middle-aged man treated Liu Tingyu, a cold flash in his eyes; then, he stepped forward.

At this moment, the group behind Manager Ma also approached.

"Ma Tao, what are you doing! Didn't I tell you to clear the area!" a domineering woman said coldly, "You can't even handle such a trivial matter, I think you don't want to work here anymore?"

Ma Tao bowed and groveled, "President, I will drive these bumpkins away immediately! It definitely won't disrupt your important business!"

After speaking, Ma Tao turned his head to Zhou Ling and said, "Why haven't you taken your bunch of losers away yet, a bunch of poors thinking about buying villas? Shall I burn one set for you?"

A murderous intent flashed in Ling Feng's eyes, but at that moment, the always compliant Zhou Ling burst out, "Manager Ma, you can scold me, but you cannot insult my clients, you must apologize to them!"
