At this moment, Liu Zhendong was rubbing his hands together. "We still have over an hour on the road. Master Xia Tian, could you perhaps do a divination for me?"
"Of course," Xia Liang nodded.
Liu Zhendong hurriedly took out his phone, about to transfer money to Xia Liang.
Xia Liang waved his hand. "Let's settle it all together after I've looked at the Feng Shui."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhendong quickly nodded in agreement.
Xia Liang chuckled. "There are some things you, Old Liu, must remember!"
Liu Zhendong's expression immediately turned serious as he waited for Xia Liang to continue. Xia Liang, in turn, quickly reviewed Liu Zhendong's recent circumstances in his mind.
"First, a fake divorce won't protect any of your assets. It has no legal standing anymore. You'd be better off remarrying your wife sooner rather than later."
Liu Zhendong sucked in a sharp breath, stunned by the sudden declaration.
Before he could respond, however, Xia Liang continued, "When it comes to business, your methods are more varied than Old Gao's or Old Qian's, and far more ruthless. Am I wrong?"
Liu Zhendong nodded repeatedly. Back in his village days, he was notorious for being belligerent and ruthless. His family eventually couldn't handle him, so he came to Qingyun City to work on a construction site. It was precisely that ruthlessness that got him promoted from a common laborer to his boss's driver, allowing him to climb to his current position step by step.
Xia Liang shook his head. "I'm not trying to scare you, but if you continue like this, you'll be facing a lawsuit within a week!"
"What?" Liu Zhendong was startled.
Xia Liang's expression became grave. "And if things go poorly, you could be looking at jail time."
Hearing this, Liu Zhendong panicked. He might have had some influence in Qingyun City, but if the Heavenly Master himself said he was headed for trouble, none of that would matter.
"Please, Heavenly Master, save me," Liu Zhendong said hastily.
Xia Liang thought for a moment before speaking. "I will give you three points. Remember them well. If you can follow them, you should be fine, for the most part."
"Master, please speak," Liu Zhendong said, hurriedly opening the notes app on his phone.
Xia Liang considered for a moment, then spoke at a measured pace. "One: break off all contact with your four or five mistresses. As the saying goes, a beautiful woman is a source of calamity. Have nothing more to do with them. Two: remarry your wife as soon as possible and live a proper, stable life together. Three: stop using shady, underhanded methods in your business dealings. You've already made a lot of enemies, understand? You must remember these three points!"
Xia Liang's expression was solemn, showing he wasn't joking in the slightest. Through the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, he had seen a great deal. For instance, one of Liu Zhendong's mistresses had accepted money from a competitor to expose all his secrets. The people he had wronged over the years were all banding together to set a trap. Even if Liu Zhendong had heavenly abilities, an arm can't out-twist a thigh. Imprisonment was a very real possibility.
Liu Zhendong typed everything into his phone, etching the words into his heart as well.
"Master, rest assured. I'll do it," Liu Zhendong said with conviction.
At his side, Gao Hesheng chimed in. "Old Liu, I've told you before, you need to rein it in. Look at me, I'm no worse off than you are now, and I'm living quite comfortably, aren't I?"
At this point, Liu Zhendong didn't dare argue, simply nodding like a chicken pecking at grain.
Then, Xia Liang suddenly added, "Even with all this, the calamity will still strike. However, you'll ultimately have a narrow escape."
Just as Liu Zhendong was about to speak, Xia Liang cut him off. "This is already the best possible outcome."
Liu Zhendong reluctantly fell silent. By then, their car had already pulled into the underground parking garage of Wanlai Mall.
Xia Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, and his brow furrowed. "Liu Zhendong, there's definitely a problem with this mall of yours!"
In his vision, even the underground parking garage was already shrouded in a layer of blue light. With such low-to-middling Feng Shui, it was no wonder the mall had attracted no business since its grand opening. Seeing this, Xia Liang looked at Liu Zhendong in surprise. "Who designed this Feng Shui for you in the first place?"
Liu Zhendong thought for a moment and said, "Master Ma Baoguo from Qingyun City."
"Ma Baoguo? That quack?" Gao Hesheng blurted out, taken aback. He then gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
Liu Zhendong frowned. "What's wrong? Is there a problem with Ma Baoguo?"
Gao Hesheng nodded. "Yes. You heard about that incident at Old Qian's construction site, right?"
Liu Zhendong nodded.
"Back then, Master Xia Tian told Old Qian not to start construction. But that trouble-making wife of his went and hired several Feng Shui Masters to trick him, and Ma Baoguo was the one leading them."
Gao Hesheng quickly explained the whole story to Liu Zhendong.
Liu Zhendong's eyes widened in realization. "So that's how it was?"
Anger flashed across Liu Zhendong's face. "That old fraud! Tonight, I'll—"
"Ahem. Liu Zhendong, don't forget what I told you," Xia Liang interrupted with a light cough, his tone casual.
Liu Zhendong immediately chuckled. "You're right, I almost forgot. I can't go back to my old ways."
Xia Liang gave a faint nod. The elevator arrived at the mall's first floor. It was a massive place, six stories tall in total. Normally, the ground-floor shops would be the most bustling. Yet even here on the first floor, customers were scarce. Many shopkeepers stood at their entrances, desperately trying to promote their products. But their faces were etched with despair.
As Xia Liang activated the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, his brow furrowed instantly. The sheer density of information made his skin crawl—not because of anything else, but because there were simply too many question marks.
After a long moment, Xia Liang finally spoke. "To be honest, the mall's location itself is actually quite good."
"It's just... the layout is a complete mess."
