"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that piece of jade? That's the only feng shui treasure in my office," Tang Xuejian noticed Li Yang staring intently at the jade and asked as she walked over.
"No, I just saw that this piece of jade is very exquisite and must be very valuable. If Auntie keeps it here, it's bound to attract the attention of thieves and might even bring you great disaster. I suggest we cover this feng shui ornament with a feng shui pavilion. It'll be both beautiful and safe," Li Yang explained earnestly.
"So that's how it is. Your suggestion is indeed good. I can consider rearranging it according to your idea."
Tang Xuejian nodded after hearing his explanation, finding it reasonable.
A moment later, she looked at Li Yang curiously and asked again, "Then have you found the source of the evil energy in my office? Is the evil energy in me something I caught from the store?"
"It's not clear yet."
Li Yang shook his head helplessly. He had already walked a full circle but hadn't found the evil energy he spoke of.
He wondered if he had made a mistake.
But it shouldn't be. The evil energy in his aunt was clearly caused by long-term exposure to jade. And she ran a jade store, so if the source wasn't at home, it had to be at the store.
"Then what should we do? If you can't find it, won't I still be invaded by evil energy in the future?" Tang Xuejian immediately became worried and asked in a panic.
"Auntie, you don't need to worry too much. Although I haven't found it here, I believe the evil energy is still in your company."
Li Yang confidently analyzed, "This office of yours is protected by feng shui jade, so the evil energy is probably not here. Why don't I look elsewhere? You can wait here for my good news."
"I'll go with you. If anything unexpected happens, maybe I can help."
Out of concern, Tang Xuejian followed Li Yang and accompanied him to several of his offices.
However, after Li Yang carefully investigated for a long time, he still couldn't find the source of the evil energy, and sighed deeply, "No matter how deeply this evil energy is hidden, it shouldn't leave absolutely no trace."
"I've searched the entire store, but I still haven't found it. Could it be that I was overthinking and mistaken?"
"Li Yang, how are these offices? Do you have any clues about the source of the evil energy?" Tang Xuejian was already a bit tired, but her heart was still full of worry, and she asked busily.
Li Yang shook his head and said, "I still haven't found it. Now there are two possibilities: one is that I made a mistake and the source of the evil energy is not in this store; the second is that the other party's cultivation is very high and they can hide the evil energy, making it difficult for me to find even if I look."
"Can evil energy be hidden? Do you have a way to make it show itself?"
Tang Xuejian leaned more towards the second possibility. She spent most of her time in the store or at home, with virtually no leisure activities.
Therefore, she felt that the source of the evil energy should be here.
Li Yang nodded and said directly, "Of course, there's a way, but we need to wait!"
"Wait? How do we wait?" Tang Xuejian asked doubtfully.
"Wait for it to actively appear and harm someone. Only by making it reveal itself can we determine its exact location," Li Yang said seriously.
"When will that be? I've been running a company for over ten years and have never seen such a thing," Tang Xuejian also felt very confused and asked in bewilderment.
"To make it appear, besides waiting actively, you can also lure it out. All it takes is a talisman."
Li Yang stated the solution and then asked Tang Xuejian to help him prepare yellow paper and cinnabar.
To deal with this kind of evil energy, the old methods were still needed.
Tang Xuejian had already witnessed Li Yang's prowess, so she didn't doubt him at all and immediately ordered someone to prepare the items.
Not long after, everything was ready. Li Yang personally held the cinnabar and drew a revealing talisman on the yellow paper, then tossed it high into the air. He held his right index and middle fingers together, and with a surge of true qi, he directed it at the yellow talisman in mid-air.
The yellow talisman instantly seemed to glow with spiritual light, flying to the roof on its own. The light penetrated all the rooms in the store, illuminating every corner.
"Ah!"
Just as Tang Xuejian felt surprised, a scream suddenly came from upstairs.
Tang Xuejian was startled and looked up. A female assistant upstairs, as if she had seen a ghost, scrambled down, stumbling and falling.
"Help! Someone's gone mad!"
The female assistant, ignoring the pain, tumbled down the stairs and quickly ran towards where there were more people.
Li Yang turned his head and his brow furrowed tightly as he saw the scene behind the female assistant!
Following her was a male employee who looked very cold, his eyes flashing with ferocity. He leaped down from upstairs, baring his teeth and claws.
Even Tang Xuejian couldn't help but be shocked.
She quickly helped the fallen assistant up and pulled her aside, asking, "Xiao Xue, what happened? What happened upstairs?"
"I don't know. I was upstairs with him organizing documents just now, and his finger accidentally got cut by the jade. While I was looking for a band-aid for him, he became like this," the female assistant said, completely flustered and terrified.
"I know!"
Upon hearing her words, Li Yang suddenly understood.
He didn't have time to explain to Tang Xuejian. Looking at the frenzied person rushing down from upstairs, he turned back and said, "Auntie, tell everyone to stay away from this madman. I'll deal with him first."
"Okay, be careful. Don't be reckless if you can't defeat him."
Tang Xuejian replied worriedly and quickly ordered all the employees and customers in the store to retreat.
Only Li Yang rushed out alone, his speed as swift as a sharp sword!
He arrived in front of the madman. The madman treated him as an enemy and ferociously attacked him with bared teeth and claws. Li Yang's footwork was agile, dodging and evading, and he went through more than ten moves without the opponent even touching him.
Li Yang seized the opportunity to counterattack. Seeing the madman swing his fist towards his throat again, he instantly grabbed the madman's arm and attacked his heart with his other hand.
Li Yang struck the madman's chest with a swift palm strike. The madman froze on the spot, as if his pressure points had been sealed.
Immediately after, Li Yang delivered a flying kick, sweeping the madman to the ground. At the same time, he grabbed a handful of cinnabar from the side and quickly rushed to the madman, drawing several red symbols on his forehead.
The madman's eyes bulged, his body convulsed, and he spat out black blood from his mouth.
This scene made the terrified onlookers curious. They all wondered what strange illness this person had.
After Li Yang's true qi treatment, the madman finally calmed down.
However, at the same time, a black shadow within the madman's body instantly left his body and quickly fled towards the window!
"Trying to escape?"
Li Yang locked onto the black shadow with his eyes, lunged forward, and accurately grabbed the black shadow's calf!
