Chapter 490 Secret Mark
"Yu Xuelin said: People return to Weizi Alley every once in a while. The original owners of those abandoned residences will return to Weizi Alley on a certain day."
"It's like fate is gathering them together, returning silently, and then leaving silently."
"That's what Yu Xuelin said. At the time, I didn't understand what he meant, but now it seems like he was hinting at something!"
I looked out the door and asked, "When will those people return?"
"In these three days!" Xu Er said, "Counting today, tomorrow should be when the people from the old alley return on a large scale. There's one more day after tomorrow, but not many people should be returning then."
I said calmly, "Then we'll wait and see who comes back."
When Lao Liu contacted Ye Yang, he hadn't left yet. When I left, I told Ye Yang: Go wherever you want, just don't let that Chen Xiaobao bother me.
Also, be gentle, don't beat Lao Liu's brother-in-law to death, or it'll be hard to explain.
When I left, Ye Yang's face was clearly a little dark!
When Lao Liu contacted Ye Yang, Ye Yang was still considering where to take Chen Xiaobao.
Receiving Lao Liu's call made his face even darker. "Feng Ruoxing, we're leaving to find Yu Xuelin. Bring that kid along, no need to undo the dumb acupoint."
Feng Ruoxing hesitated, "If we seal his acupoint for too long, he'll really become mute!"
"Even better!" Ye Yang didn't even look at Chen Xiaobao before leaving Liangjie Hall.
Feng Ruoxing had no choice but to drag Chen Xiaobao behind him. As for why she wasn't carrying Chen Xiaobao, Feng Ruoxing said she didn't want to.
Yu Xuelin's public identity is a Feng Shui master. His shop is in a prime location on Feng Shui Street.
When Ye Yang got out of the car, it was just as Feng Shui Street was closing up for the night. Many shop owners saw Ye Yang getting out of the car and immediately stood by the side of the road, bowing slightly. "Greetings, Master Ye."
"Master Ye, what brings you to Feng Shui Street today?"
Ye Yang simply nodded in response. Chen Xiaobao was dumbfounded in the back and kept tugging at Feng Ruoxing's clothes. Feng Ruoxing, not understanding, released his acupoint, and Chen Xiaobao said, "Do you guys have that much face?"
Feng Ruoxing shook her head and said, "Reputation in the martial world is earned with every sword and spear, not by belittling others."
"If you have real skills, others will genuinely respect you and admire you."
"If you have no skills and only pick at others' flaws to show that you're superior, you'll only be despised."
"Most people don't say anything about you, not because they agree with you, but because they're ignoring you. The smiles they give you aren't approval, but contempt."
No matter how stupid Chen Xiaobao was, he knew that Feng Ruoxing was talking about him. He was so angry that his face turned green, but he didn't dare to say anything more, afraid that Feng Ruoxing would seal his acupoint again.
Chen Xiaobao followed Feng Ruoxing for a while and said, "Do you dare not seal my acupoint? Let me reason with you?"
Feng Ruoxing's face darkened slightly. "Don't reason with me, I'm not in the mood to listen to your reasoning. And don't ask me if I dare to do this or that. Your petty tricks are just childish antics in my eyes. I really can't be bothered to argue with you."
"You can talk, but remember, we're saving your life. What you say had better be related to your life and death. If, because of your extreme self-importance, you delay us from saving you, we won't be responsible for your life or death."
"You guys still..." Chen Xiaobao just opened his mouth when Feng Ruoxing pointed at his dumb acupoint.
Chen Xiaobao could only glare at them from behind, unable to say a word.
When Ye Yang arrived at the entrance of Yu Xuelin's Feng Shui residence, it was already closed. The owner next door said that Yu Xuelin hadn't opened for business for five or six days.
A few days ago, a friend came to find Yu Xuelin, saying that he was going to look at Feng Shui in another province and wouldn't be back for a month or so.
Before Yu Xuelin left, he gave him the keys, asking him to clean up the house every few days.
Feng Ruoxing transmitted her voice to Ye Yang, "Looking at Feng Shui doesn't take that long. Yu Xuelin's departure is strange."
Ye Yang said calmly, "Is Yu Xuelin really a Feng Shui master?"
"This..." The owner next door hesitated slightly, then met Ye Yang's cold gaze.
Ye Yang doesn't have my patience. If someone doesn't answer his question the first time, he's likely to get violent the second time. I can at least ask a few more questions.
The owner next door looked around to make sure no one was around before lowering his voice. "Master Ye, you should also know that the most skilled Feng Shui masters are actually tomb raiders."
The owner next door spoke vaguely, but Ye Yang understood what he meant.
Tomb raiders can't really be considered as practitioners of esoteric arts. They should belong to the Thief School.
What are thieves most afraid of? Being robbed by fellow thieves must be one of them. Therefore, masters of the Thief School would leave a mark in front of their homes to tell others that a fellow practitioner lives here, so as not to lose face.
When Ye Yang arrived at the door, he saw the hidden mark left by Yu Xuelin.
