Chapter 13: Four Masters

Qi Yan glanced at the four men outside. These four men looked strong and intimidating. But he could tell at a glance that these people were not in charge, they should have been trained in the army.

The four men outside realized there were other people in the house. When they noticed Liang Feng, their expression changed slightly.

“Sorry for visiting you out of the blue.” The man who spoke took out a bronze and blue invitation card and handed it to Qi Yan, “We’ve heard about your big name Mr. Qi. Please accept this invitation card.”

Qi Yan took the invitation card. Apparently someone had invited him to read Feng Shui, and the person was Cen Qiusheng.

Cen Qiusheng?

Qi Yan looked at the unfamiliar name and the four men who stood in front of his door. He said with a subtle smile, “It seems like Mr. Cen is an important person.” Otherwise, he wouldn’t have mass invited so many masters.

It was already difficult for a normal person to invite a truly capable master, but this Mr. Cen planned to invite several of them. It showed that he had the capability.

Cen…

Qi Yan remembered that Wang Hang had mentioned the Cen family, could it be from them?
He had no interest in participating, but they came to him unexpectedly.

Folding the invitation card, Qi Yan said calmly, “Sorry, I might not have the time then. I’d have to refuse the invitation.”

The four men did not expect someone to refuse an invitation from the Cen family. The other well-known masters had agreed immediately after putting on a show. There was no one who directly refused it like this young man. At this moment, they were at a loss.

“As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-floor altar. Please consider it.” The leader was the first who reacted and he said sincerely, “Please.”

Qi Yan observed the four men carefully and realized that there was some faint purple mist surrounding their body. If he hadn’t looked carefully, he wouldn’t have noticed it.

Was today a prosperous day? He had already noticed a few people who had purple mist around them.

Cen Qiusheng must be a person with a lot of good fortune. He had also accumulated a lot of blessings. This person had either saved a lot of lives, or had a massive contribution to humankind. Otherwise, he would not have observed such an effect.

Thinking about this, Qi Yan waved the invitation in his hand and said, “I understand. I’ll consider it.”

The four men looked at Qi Yan’s calm attitude and weren’t sure if he would actually come. They looked at each other and politely bid farewell.

After the four of them left, one of them doubted, “Do you think this Master Qi really had no desires, or he didn’t have the capability?”

The person beside him said indifferently, “I don’t care if he really has the capability or just pretending. We are just following Mr. Cen’s orders to send him an invitation. Whether or not he comes is his business.”

“Nonsense, if Mr. Cen sends him an invitation, it means that this person really has the capability,” The leader frowned and continued, “Besides, didn’t you notice that Fifth Master Cen’s assistant was also there in Master Qi’s house?”

“Fifth Master Cen’s assistant?!” The first person who spoke looked stunned, “This Master Qi is really so amazing that even someone under Fifth Master Cen’s came to visit him?”

Those who were invited by Mr. Cen were all well-known masters in the Capital City. Only this Master Qi was young and had no reputation. They really didn’t know why Mr. Cen considered inviting such a person.

“Master Qi,” After the four of them left, Liang Feng stood up and said, “Sorry for disturbing you today.”

“You’re too polite.” Qi Yan nodded and put the invitation card on the table as though it was just a normal piece of paper and not a personal invitation by Master Cen. Liang Feng looked at the invitation card and reminded him tactfully, “Master Qi, fate has allowed it to arrive at your doorstep, why don’t you try it out?”

“Perhaps you’re right,” Qi Yan smiled lightly. He had little interest in the invitation.

Liang Feng did not continue speaking after that and bid farewell to Qi Yan. Qi Yan did not ask him to stay. After he and Du Dong left, Qi Yan picked up the invitation card and read it carefully.

The invitation card was exquisite. All the words were handwritten and the handwriting was firm and strong. It is very good-looking. The handwriting of the inscription and the content of the card were exactly the same. Either the invitation card was written by the inviter himself, or the entire card was written by someone else.

Qi Yan’s instincts told him that the card was written by Cen Qiusheng himself.

Touching the words on the paper, Qi Yan smiled.

The weather at the end of July was so hot that it was hard to breathe. Today was the day Cen Qiusheng invited all the Feng Shui masters, so whoever was at home was in the living room.

The four masters invited by Cen Qiusheng arrived one after the other. These people brought their students and assistants. They all looked like experts. Just with one glance, one would think that they were indeed capable. These four masters had their own styles, one had a baby face, one was missing an eye and there was also one who was bald. The only normal-looking one was Master Zhao. He was thin and tall and wearing a pair of frameless glasses. He looked like a bookish scholar from the beginning of the century.

The four masters knew each other, so they smiled and nodded at each other as a form of greeting.

If they had been invited by a normal person, they would have been offended, but the person who invited them was Old Master Cen, so they happily came over. Even if they were not happy, they pretended to be.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Cen Qiusheng did not have any intention to get up from the sofa, they wondered if they were still waiting for others.

“Dad,” First Master Cen looked at his watch and said, “It’s not early anymore, if we don’t go now, it will be late when we get to the old mansion.”

“What’s the hurry,” Cen Qiusheng held his crutch and said slowly, “Not everyone is here yet.”

First Master Cen looked at the four masters. These well-known masters were already here, who’s missing?

Cen Qiusheng did not satisfy his eldest son’s curiosity. He only looked at the gate silently.

Qi Yan got out of the taxi. Before he walked through the gate, he was stopped by two men in shirts and black vests. Because of his attire, he looked like a college student. The bodyguards who were standing guard at the gate of the Cen family house did not think that he was an invitee.

The other masters had assistants around them and came in a luxury car. They did not even consider Qi Yan, who came in a taxi and looked like a clueless young man, as one of the masters.

Only when Qi Yan took out the invitation card that the stunned guards let him in. Some of them were even worried that he might pretend to be a master and sent him all to the front door before leaving.

“I’m sorry to let Old Master Cen and Masters wait for so long. There was heavy traffic on the way here.” Qi Yan appeared within their field of vision and apologized. The truth was, the time on the invitation card stated “12 o’clock”. It was one hour before 12, so he was not late.

The four masters looked at Qi Yan in confusion. This young man was the person that Old Master Cen insisted on waiting?

Even though they weren’t sure of this young man’s identity, the four of them nodded at him politely.

“Welcome, Master Qi.” Old Master Cen held his crutch and stood up, “Thank you all for coming today. The car is already here. Please come with me.”

Only then the four masters realized that this young man was not a relative. He came for the same reason they did, to study the Feng Shui of the Cen family’s old mansion.

But the four of them did not take Qi Yan seriously. Their students were probably older than Qi Yan and they knew the capabilities of their students.

If he was really that capable, why didn’t even have one assistant. He seemed so pitiful.

Everyone followed Cen Qiusheng out of the villa and saw a black car waiting outside, under the bright sun. Uniformed bodyguards walked to the side of the car and opened the door. Then, they stood quietly at the side, waiting for the masters to get in.

“Dad,” Old Master Cen’s second child was a daughter. She supported Cen Qiusheng’s arm and looked at the five masters. She lowered her head and asked, “Dad, the young Master Qi, who is he?”

Cen Qiusheng shook his head, “I don’t know how capable he is, but I checked the things he’s done. I can confirm that he has some abilities.”

Having some abilities and being capable was different, but Second Miss Cen did not say that. Since there were four other real masters present, she was not afraid of trouble.

Thinking about her brother who was weak and sickly, she shook his head. Since the doctor said there was no other way, inviting these masters was just for assurance.

She didn’t dare voice her thoughts. Instead, she bent down and helped her father into the car. The moment she got into the car, she saw a black Bentley coming towards them. The number plate on the car seemed to be the same as that of the car that her brother usually came in.

Thinking of this, she got out of the car immediately. Wasn’t Baihe in the hospital? Why did he come back at this time?

Cen Baihe saw a row of cars in front of the house and knew that his father had invited some questionable masters. He held his handkerchief and coughed a few times. Then, he opened the car door and got out.

“Young Fifth.”

“Young Fifth!”

Others addressed him as “Fifth Master”, but in the Cen family, he is “Young Fifth”.

He took a glance at everyone, then walked to the window beside Cen Qiusheng and said, “Dad, where are you going?”
