"The tiger sand is high and the dragon sand is low, bringing an abundance of women and a scarcity of men. Look, due to the passage of time, the geological features have shifted slightly, resulting in this exact situation. The men of your Lin Family eventually disappeared completely. Wouldn't you call this the will of heaven?"

The two women nodded vigorously.

"It's not just that the heavens formed this natural feng shui arrangement," Xia Liang chuckled lightly, "they seem intent on ending your Lin Family's lineage completely!"

With these words, Xia Liang pointed to a small water channel behind the grave mound. "This channel must have formed over many years from rainwater erosion. With its presence, the feng shui of your family's old grave can no longer be called a simple Burial Flower Formation. Strictly speaking, it's a Flowing Water Burial Flower Formation!"

"A Flowing Water Burial Flower Formation?" Lin Xiaolan was stunned.

Xia Liang nodded. "This is what I deduced from the tombstone earlier. In your grandmother's generation, the Lin Family still had seven female descendants. By your mother's generation, there was only her and your aunt. And now, in your generation, only you remain. Am I right?"

Xia Liang looked at Lin Xiaolan with a half-smile.

Lin Xiaolan nodded. "That's right. I am indeed the sole daughter of the Lin Family."

Xia Liang sighed softly. "If this formation isn't broken, even if you manage to save your life, I'm afraid you won't have any children."

At this, he sighed deeply. The ancestor of the Lin Family had truly woven his own cocoon. Otherwise, he wouldn't have established a family edict to hide the location of this old grave. He certainly wouldn't have built a new grave, using its good feng shui to mislead everyone. This, in turn, only caused the Lin Family's situation to deteriorate further.

"It seems your Lin Family ancestors managed to hire a true expert to create such a grand scheme of overt and hidden arrangements. Even Taoist Priest Cha was deceived. But how could they have known the feng shui of your Lin Family would change like this under the will of heaven? Human schemes, in the end, are no match for the will of heaven. Everything your ancestors did has completely rebounded onto your generation. This can only be described as fate."

Xia Liang gazed at Lin Xiaolan and sighed softly again.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaolan frowned. "Master Xia Tian, is there any way to break this?"

Xia Liang nodded. "There is, but your Lin Family will have to suffer a financial loss."

"A financial loss?" Lin Xiaolan was puzzled. "How so? Master, please tell me what to do."

Setting aside the family's problems, even an ant will cling to life, let alone a human.

With intense focus, Xia Liang stared unwaveringly at Lin Xiaolan. "I'll give you two options. The choice is yours."

After a moment's thought, Lin Xiaolan said, "Please, Master Xia Tian, tell me." With two options, one had to be better, and she naturally wanted to hear them first.

Xia Liang mused for a moment before speaking. "The first option is to move the grave. Once this Burial Flower Formation is disturbed, everything will be fine. However, destroying this formation is akin to undoing a century of your ancestors' efforts. Within ten years, the Lin Family's fortune will be completely depleted."

Lin Xiaolan nodded and asked, "And the second method?"

"The second method is also simple," Xia Liang continued. "Level this Burial Flower Formation and cremate the bones of your ancestors within the grave. This will completely sever the karmic tie and force them to give up their aspirations. To put it simply, after you burn these bones, the current Lin Family will have absolutely no connection to the Lin Family of the past."

Lin Xiaolan frowned, deeply conflicted. The first method would lead the Lin Family to ruin. The second method was a complete violation of ethics and morals.

"Could I... wait for my parents to return before we discuss this?" Lin Xiaolan was still unable to make up her mind.

"Of course you can," Xia Liang nodded. "However, I'm afraid you might be out of time. I foresee that in three days, your body will suddenly collapse. At that point, you'll find it extremely difficult to even get out of bed and walk."

This was the outcome Xia Liang had seen with the Eye of the Heavenly Dao. Since Lin Xiaolan hadn't made a decision yet, this outcome was still a distinct possibility. After saying this, Xia Liang fell silent. Everything depended on Lin Xiaolan's decision. If she chose to walk into this trap of her own making, Xia Liang wouldn't try to persuade her. After all, everyone makes their own choices.

Meanwhile, no one had noticed that the driver standing to the side had quietly perked up his ears, clearly eavesdropping.

Time ticked by. Lin Xiaolan remained indecisive, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her pale face.

Li Lizhi, standing nearby, snorted coldly. "If it were me, I'd dig up the grave and burn the bones. What's the point of acknowledging ancestors who were cruel enough to target their own female descendants?"

After a long while, the struggle in Lin Xiaolan's eyes faded. "Never mind. It's better to wait for my parents to return before deciding." She cast a subtle, meaningful glance at the driver.

Seeing this, Xia Liang smiled faintly.

After the group descended the mountain, Xia Liang's phone lit up. It was a message from Lin Xiaolan: "Master Xia Tian, if my parents find out about this, they will definitely stop me. So, I hope you can help me."

She's truly the most exceptional woman of the Lin Family, to be so observant and meticulous.

Thinking of this, Xia Liang couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

Although she looks frail and sickly, she's incredibly decisive when it matters. If she can overcome this trial, Lin Xiaolan's future will be limitless!

Xia Liang replied to Lin Xiaolan with an "OK" emoji and sent her some instructions on the necessary steps.

In fact, ever since Lin Xiaolan had started asking about the grave's location...
