Under One Person: Feng Shui Master, I Will Protect the Mountains and Rivers with My Own Body

Xu Si's beat-up jeep was driving on the way to the city.

The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat relaxed, yet tinged with a touch of melancholy at the impending separation.

"Hey Wood, I won't say much more. We've been brothers for so many years, that speaks for itself..."

As Xu Si drove, he looked at the three people in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

"Master Lingyu, and Xia Xia, thank you both very much this time. What are your plans for the future? Would you like me to find you some fun places to go?"

Xu Si chuckled, revealing his sly face.

"You've finally made it to Yanjing, and although I have to go back to write a report and don't have time to spend with you, I can still arrange for you to go to Sanlitun or Houhai. All expenses will be on me, Young Master Xu!"

Zhang Lingyu, sitting by the window, gently shook her head upon hearing this.

Although his Taoist robe was a bit wrinkled and covered with many unidentified objects, his demeanor remained otherworldly.

"No, Mr. Xu."

Zhang Lingyu's expression was calm, and his eyes held a hint of composure gained from worldly experience.

"This time, I wasn't of much help; in fact, I caused a lot of trouble. Besides, I was forcibly taken down the mountain by Yan Sen and didn't consult my master for long."

He turned to look at Yan Sen beside him, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"These past few days have made me truly understand what it means to say, 'The mind is the abode of the Way.' Chaos does not arise from external factors, but from the movement of the mind. When the mind is unsettled, all things are disturbed; when the mind is at peace, all things are at tranquility."

Zhang Lingyu cupped his hands slightly, his tone firm: "Thanks to everyone's help, my meditation skills seem to have improved. I plan to return to the mountain directly to consolidate them in seclusion."

"Yes, that's fine too."

Xu Si nodded and did not insist.

He could also see that although Master Lingyu and Yan Sen didn't seem to get along, they were actually very close and would definitely have to deal with each other in the future, so there was no need to rush.

"Then I'll consider it a favor I owe you. Let's get together again when you have time. Or next time I go to Longhu Mountain, I'll bring you a couple of bottles of good wine."

"Monks don't drink alcohol..." Zhang Lingyu was about to retort, but seeing Xu Si's sincere eyes, she finally smiled and said, "Alright, thank you very much, Mr. Xu."

Xu Si turned his head and his gaze fell on Xia He, who was sitting in the middle.

"Xia, what about you? What are your plans?"

"I......"

Xia He was stunned for a moment.

She kept her head down, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.

She came to Yanjing this time specifically because of the news that "the second young master of the Zhao family has a strange illness and a reward is offered for his treatment".

She simply wanted to use her own body to alleviate Zhao Minghai's condition, so she could make some quick money to continue her seemingly carefree but actually homeless and wandering life.

But to her surprise, things took a turn for the worse than she had anticipated.

Not only did he expose his own supernatural abilities, but he also inexplicably ended up with this group of people.

Now that things are over, as for the money... Xu Si will definitely give her a generous reward.

But then what?

Should she continue to wander like a headless fly in this world full of malice towards her?

Should we continue to face those greedy, lewd, or fearful and disgusted eyes?

Xia He glanced at Yan Sen beside her, then at Feng Baobao, who was dozing off on her shoulder.

A strong sense of reluctance suddenly welled up in my heart.

This feeling of being accepted and trusted is like a drug; once you're hooked, you can never quit.

"I...haven't thought about it yet..." Xia He's voice was low, and her eyes were confused.

"If you haven't thought it through, then don't think about it."

Yan Sen, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

He leaned back lazily in his chair, like an old man.

"Sister Xia, come with me, let's go back to Rainbow Garden."

"Back to...Rainbow Garden?" Xia He looked up abruptly, staring at him in astonishment. "Where is that? What are we going there for?"

"Tsk, your memory is terrible."

Yan Sen stretched out his finger and lightly tapped Xia He's forehead.

"When I asked you for a favor before, didn't I promise you that I would teach you how to precisely control your superpowers?"

"Now that the matter is settled, and I have the opportunity and time, I might as well give you a little refresher course."

Yan Sen did mention it casually.

At that time, Xia He was troubled by her inability to control her breathing muscles, and Yan Sen, in order to comfort her, mentioned that he had a solution.

At the time, neither of them took it seriously, thinking it was just a temporary measure.

But now... looking at Xia He's confused and helpless appearance, Yan Sen felt that he needed to turn this "stopgap measure" into reality.

After all, this girl is top-notch in both looks and personality, and she's exactly his type.

"Huh? You little brat..."

Xu Si, who was driving, looked at the rearview mirror with a strange expression.

He grinned wickedly, his expression sweeping over the two of them meaningfully, his eyes seeming to say: You little punk! I knew you weren't up to any good!

"Ahem... Hey, Woody, let me remind you something."

Xu Si cleared his throat and said meaningfully, "It would be best to only teach her to control her superpowers. Young people may be strong, but they also need to take care of their health. Don't ruin your back before you've mastered the divine skill."

"Get lost!" Yan Sen kicked the driver's seat in annoyance.

Xia He blushed at these words and felt uncomfortable under Yan Sen's gaze.

She turned around and gave Yan Sen a solid slap on the back.

"Snapped!"

"Who wants to go with you? And you're even teaching me how to control my powers?"

Xia He said with a hint of annoyance, her eyes sparkling, but she wasn't really angry. Instead, she exuded a girlish shyness.

"Do you still want me to call you master? Dream on!"

Yan Sen didn't dodge, took the hit head-on, then chuckled and put on an extremely serious expression.

He sat up straight, one hand behind his back, the other stroking a non-existent beard, and said, shaking his head:

"Oh my, my disciple Xiangxiang, although she has a bit of a temper, is truly exceptionally intelligent and can grasp things in no time."

"Since you've come to this realization, then I'll reluctantly accept you as my disciple! I'm truly gratified, truly gratified!"

"Pah! You shameless bastard!"

Xia He spat, turned around, and ignored this guy who was acting innocent after getting the benefit, but she couldn't suppress the upward curve of her lips.

"Alright, stop flirting here, it hurts my eyes." Xu Si waved his hand. "It's settled then. We'll take Lingyu Zhenren to the airport first, and then take you back to Rainbow Garden."

The car sped along the highway, and by the time we arrived at our destination, it was already dark.

At the entrance of Rainbow Garden residential community.

"Alright, I'll leave you here."

Xu Si rolled down the car window, waved at the two people standing by the roadside, and looked mischievous.

"Wood, teach him well! Don't hold back! If Xia ever becomes a peerless master, I'll be able to benefit from it too!"

He then turned to Xia He and winked, "Hey sis, if this kid bullies you, just call your fourth brother! Even though I can't beat him, I can at least make him look bad for you!"

"Me too! Me too!"

In the passenger seat, Feng Baobao leaned out halfway, holding a bag of potato chips in her hand, and looked at Xia He with a serious expression.

"Xiangxiang, I'll come visit you in a few days!"

"Okay, you guys go now!"

Xia He smiled and waved, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.

The car sped away, leaving a trail of exhaust fumes behind.

At the entrance of the residential compound, only Yan Sen and Xia He remained, along with two suitcases.

The autumn wind carried a chill, swirling up the fallen leaves on the ground.

The two locked eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

"...Are you serious?"

After a moment of silence, Xia He broke it first.

She looked at Yan Sen with a scrutinizing gaze, but also with a hint of expectation.

"Hmm, what else?"

Yan Sen raised an eyebrow, looking completely at ease.

He picked up his own suitcase, then took the suitcase from Xia He's hand, gesturing for her to follow.

"If you're going to help someone, help them all the way. I, Yan Sen, may not be a great philanthropist, but what I say is as good as nails driven into a board."

"I've taught you how to control your muscles, so you won't always wear such thick clothes when you go out, looking like a penguin. What a waste of such a great figure."

"..." Xia He blushed, but did not refute.

She followed behind Yan Sen, watching his tall and straight back, but the doubts in her heart did not dissipate.

"...Why are you helping me?"

Xia He quickened her pace, caught up with Yan Sen, and turned her head to look at his profile.

"You don't owe me anything. On the contrary, I benefited a lot from you this time, so logically I should be the one owing you."

In this circle of eccentrics where self-interest reigns supreme, there is no love without a reason, nor is there hatred without a reason.

What is Yan Sen trying to achieve by doing this?

Why?

Yan Sen stopped and turned around, looking at Xia He's puzzled eyes.

He suddenly laughed, a laugh that was both honest and realistic.

Just because I don't owe you anything now doesn't mean I won't owe you anything in the future.

Yan Sen held up a finger and waved it in front of Xia He.

"With your abilities and talent, as long as you can control the side effects, you'll become a top expert sooner or later. As long as you don't join the Quanxing Sect, those prestigious sects or the All-Knowing Sect will all be vying for you."

Yan Sen leaned closer and lowered his voice, as if he were talking about some business secret.

"What I call angel investing, you know?"

"I'm a pretty pragmatic person. Who knows what the future holds? I might need your help someday. Building a good relationship with you beforehand, making a long-term investment, is never a bad idea, is it?"

Yan Sen explained in a serious tone, perfectly mimicking the demeanor of a shrewd businessman.

Xia He looked at him and chuckled.

Although I know he's talking nonsense, this reason... sounds quite plausible.

Does this mean that he truly values ​​her worth, rather than simply coveting her body?

"Oh well."

Xia He took a deep breath and nodded. "I can barely accept this reason."

"but......"

She changed the subject, pointing to the gate of the townhouse in front of her, her eyes becoming somewhat wary.

"There are many places where you can teach me, so why did you bring me here? This is your home, isn't it...?"

Xia He crossed her arms, adopting a defensive posture. Although she smiled, her tone carried a hint of warning.

"Let me make this clear first, I do have a bit of a crush on you, I think you're quite interesting. But I'm not that kind of woman who's easy to get along with..."

Xia He narrowed her eyes and deliberately lowered her voice to threaten, "If you try anything funny with me and try to take advantage of me, I'll really turn on you! Then, our innocent friendship will be over! I'll really slap you across the face!"

After saying that, she made a move to turn around and leave, as if to say, "I'm leaving if you don't explain yourself clearly."

However, as soon as she turned around, her wrist was grabbed by a warm hand.

"Why?"

Xia He was startled and before she could react, a hand was placed on her forehead.

Yan Sen touched her forehead with a puzzled look, then touched his own, his brows furrowed.

"Tsk...you don't even have a fever? Why are you talking nonsense?"

"What?" Xia He was stunned.

"Aren't you overthinking this?"

Yan Sen withdrew his hand, put his hands in his pockets, and looked Xia He up and down with a look of disdain in his eyes.

"How could you actually believe so many compliments about your beauty? Sister Xia, don't take it too seriously. You should know your place."

Yan Sen sighed, shook his head, and gave him a look that said, "You're too narcissistic."

"In my eyes, you're really just... plain and unremarkable."

Xia He:

The fist hardened.

That bastard! What are you saying?!

A willow-like appearance?

Are you blind?

Look at that face! That figure! That skin!

You call my appearance like a willow branch?!

"Oh, and there's more."

Yan Sen didn't give her a chance to lash out, and continued to push his luck, getting more and more excited as he spoke.

He even shrank back, adopting a victim-like posture, clutching his chest with a worried expression.

"Bringing you back was actually a huge risk for me."

"Look at me, I'm dashing, handsome, and a gentleman."

"What if you suddenly become lustful in the middle of the night, lusting after my good looks, and try to take advantage of me, a pure and innocent young man? What should I do then?"

Yan Sen looked helpless: "You know I'm so weak and frail. If you force yourself on me, I won't be able to resist at all! After all, this is my house. Even if I scream my lungs out, no one will answer. Wouldn't I be the one who suffers in the end?"

Xia He:

The veins on his forehead looked like they were about to burst.

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless!

Still a virgin? Still powerless to resist?

Is that yellowish-brown golden light of yours just for show?!

"grass!"

Xia He finally couldn't hold back and swore.

"So you're pretending to be a scooter now, huh? Fine! Just you wait!"

Provoked by Yan Sen's words, Xia He's stubborn streak kicked in.

What are you afraid of?

So what if I'm staying at your house?

Do you think you can eat me?

"Let's go! I don't believe you can do anything to me!"

Xia He grabbed Yan Sen's wrist and strode into the residential area, her demeanor resembling that of a female bandit about to abduct a bride.

Watching Xia He's angry back, Yan Sen, who was being dragged along, smiled slightly, revealing a knowing smile.

The tactic of provocation, though old-fashioned, is still very effective at dealing with this kind of proud and beautiful older sister.

Hey~
