As Master Fan Si finished speaking, someone immediately went to inquire.

When Yang Yan was taken aside by a staff member to be questioned, he couldn't help but be stunned.

This person is really clever!

They figured out my purpose just like that?

But, is my acting really that bad?

No, though my acting isn't great, it's definitely not bad either.

It seems there's an expert behind this!

However, this is good; it saves me some trouble.

"Go tell your boss, I want his jade pendant."

Yang Yan looked at the staff member and said out of nowhere.

Hearing this, the staff member didn't ask more questions and quickly ran back to report to the boss, Wang Quan.

"Jade pendant? Why does he want my jade pendant?"

Wang Quan looked at his subordinate with confusion, feeling it was quite strange.

"That gentleman said as long as you give him the jade pendant, he'll leave right away."

The staff member responsible for passing along the message said awkwardly.

"Oh, I see! Looks like I've run into a fellow practitioner."

Master Fan Si suddenly laughed.

"Master Si, did you figure something out?"

Wang Quan looked at Master Fan Si, puzzled.

"Nothing much. If he wants your jade pendant, just give it to him. That pendant is of no use to you; it's only worth tens of thousands. I'm sure you can afford to give it away. Otherwise, you might have some trouble."

The old man looked at Wang Quan, speaking with a meaningful expression.

"Understood."

Seeing Master Fan Si's serious demeanor, Wang Quan, who had been in society for so long, seemed to understand something and quickly replied.

Then, he directly removed his jade pendant and handed it to his subordinate:

"Take this to that gentleman."

Although Wang Quan's subordinate was skeptical, he dared not ask more questions. He turned around and left after receiving the item.

Meanwhile, Wang Quan sat on the sofa, looking at Master Fan Si with confusion, clearly hoping to understand the story behind all this.

"Wang Quan, you have no idea how lucky you are. You're exchanging a jade pendant you merely use as a decoration for the favor of a Feng Shui Master. No matter how you look at it, it's a great deal for you."

Master Fan Si clearly saw through Wang Quan's thoughts, patted his shoulder, and said with a laugh.

"Feng Shui Master?"

Wang Quan was even more puzzled.

Master Fan Si nodded slightly:

"Yes! Your jade pendant is a very good Feng Shui artifact. It's useless in your hands, at most helping to ward off some evil Qi or something."

"But in the hands of those Feng Shui masters, it might even reverse yin and yang and change fate. So, you might as well give it to him straightforwardly this time. Who knows, he might save your life next time. Tell me, isn't it worth it?"

After saying this, Master Fan Si gently tapped the tea table beside him.

Wang Quan quickly refilled his tea and then instinctively glanced in the direction of Yang Yan.

"The boss said the item is his gift to you, and thanks you for your leniency."

Wang Quan's subordinate handed the jade pendant reverently to Yang Yan, choosing his words carefully.

Upon receiving the jade pendant, Yang Yan smiled slightly:

"Also, please tell your boss that if he needs anything, he can find me at the courtyard by Prince Gong's Mansion. I can help him once."

Hearing Yang Yan's words, the staff member was again puzzled but still said thank you and turned to report back.

"Let's go, we've got the item. Let's head back! Tonight we can have a good sleep and recharge, and tackle other things tomorrow."

Yang Yan turned his head, smiling at Zhou Hanyu who was somewhat dumbstruck.

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Zhou Hanyu nodded somewhat mechanically and then followed him away.

When the two returned to the courtyard, Zhou Hanyun had already sent the three maids to rest.

She was sitting in the living room waiting for Yang Yan and the others to return.

"Have you settled what you needed to do?"

Zhou Hanyun immediately asked upon seeing Yang Yan.

"Yes! It's settled. Just need to set things up tomorrow. Why, do you have something on your mind?"

Yang Yan had long noticed that Zhou Hanyun seemed preoccupied and couldn't help but ask.

"That's good. By the way, my grandfather is coming to the capital.

Hanyun said.

"Oh? Is the old man coming here? When is he arriving?"

Yang Yan asked.

"In the next few days, I suppose! This time, grandpa's coming here and won't return to East Sea."

Zhou Hanyun said with a bitter smile, looking somewhat helpless.

"That's not bad!"

Yang Yan smiled lightly and then added:

"Oh! By the way, Fatty and the others have also come to the Imperial Capital. It seems he's left the bar in East Sea to Xiaoping and the others."

"Really? Why does it feel like everyone's suddenly coming to the Imperial Capital? Is there something special happening?"

Zhou Hanyu asked skeptically.

"Stop overthinking. What could possibly happen in the Imperial Capital?"

Yang Yan didn't want this little witch to start speculating wildly, so he quickly snuffed out her eagerness for gossip immediately.

"And what about Nine Treasures? Did they bring Nine Treasures over?"

Zhou Hanyu continued to ask without probing too deeply.

"Of course they brought them. Who else would take care of them? I heard they're looking for a place now. Once they're settled, they'll send Nine Treasures over to us."

Yang Yan promptly responded.

"That's good, that's good! Okay, let's get some rest early! These past few days have been exhausting."

Zhou Hanyu yawned widely and stretched as she returned to her room.

She still had to study with her mentor the next day.

Rumor had it she was at a critical stage in her training, and if she passed this intensive training period, she could directly join the "rocket class" and become one of the elite after the start of the new year.

The next morning, Yang Yan was pacing around the yard.

As Zhou Hanyu was leaving, she glanced at him like he was an idiot.

"Ah! A life so lonely, like snow!"

Yang Yan ignored Miss Zhou Er's gaze, looking up at the sky with a sigh.

"What are you doing?"

The Female Fiend, Mo Wuyou, emerged.

Seeing Yang Yan staring at the sky, she followed suit for a while but saw nothing, so she asked, puzzled.

"Nothing, just planning to change the environment here, then we can move in."

Yang Yan withdrew his gaze and replied calmly.

"Change the environment? You're... planning to alter the Earth Fiend formation!"

Wuyou looked at Yang Yan in astonishment.

"What, I can't do that?"

Yang Yan glanced at Wuyou.

"Of course you can! Why not? Hurry up, then. I'm watching!"

Wuyou sat on the fake mountain like she was watching a show, swinging her legs in the air.

Yang Yan chuckled and then began walking in and out of the courtyard again, repeatedly.

After observing for half an hour, Mo Wuyou finally noticed some clues.

She floated over to Yang Yan, somewhat amazed, and asked:

"Are you planning to use Sha to control Sha?"
