Commemoration of the Second Little Black Room

Lin Mo tapped his index finger on the table twice, drawing everyone's attention back.

"Mr. Wang should have visited Lilin Square, right?"

It wasn't a question but a statement.

Wang Xincheng pulled back his scattered thoughts and nodded seriously.

"Indeed, I've visited. The situation isn't good. The seal set up back then has developed cracks. I initially judged that it was caused by the erosion of blood evil. Considering the several accidental deaths that have occurred in Lilin Square over the years, each incident created a flaw in the seal. Accumulated over time, the cracks have become quite significant."

Lin Mo nodded.

Then he said something none of the three people across from him expected.

"You all, stop interfering in this matter."

"What do you mean?" Wang Keting couldn't hold back.

"I don't plan to reinforce the seal."

There was a two - second silence in the private room.

Liu Zheng lowered his head to drink tea, looking as if he had already guessed.

Wang Xincheng frowned and stood up directly, resting both hands on the edge of the table.

"Mr. Lin, you should be very clear that there is a Dragon's Tooth Land below. Once the seal is broken, the consequences will be unimaginable. We have no idea what's going on inside now. Acting rashly..."

"Mr. Wang."

Lin Mo interrupted him. His speech was not fast, but every word carried weight.

"You're a feng shui master. You should know better than anyone that there's a dragon vein down there. Sealing it, to put it nicely, is an emergency measure; to put it bluntly, it's like quenching thirst with poison. You can seal it for ten, twenty, or thirty years, but then what?"

He paused for a moment, staring at Wang Xincheng, whose face had turned a bit ugly.

"The seal will eventually fail. When the pressure is released all at once, who do you think can bear it? You?"

His gaze shifted to Wang Keting.

"Or your son, who has a pure - yang body but has lost his virginity?"

As soon as these words were out, Wang Keting's face instantly turned red.

Come on, he was in his thirties. It was normal to have lost his virginity.

He opened his mouth to refute, but a few syllables rolled in his throat and were finally swallowed back.

Moreover, his father had never told him about his pure - yang body before. There was no way he would preserve his virginity for the sake of this so - called pure - yang body.

But Wang Keting still couldn't hold back.

"What about you then?"

He stood up, raising his voice a bit. "And what about the Awakening of the Yan and Huang? Will no one take care of it if something goes wrong?"

He had already been annoyed when he saw Lin Mo show up with three beautiful young women.

Now being scolded by him, and even his well - known father in Hong Kong being severely scolded, if he didn't say something, he felt they would be looked down upon.

Bang!

Wang Xincheng slapped the table, making the teacups jump.

"Shut up."

Wang Keting shivered. At thirty years old, he still instinctively shrank his neck in front of the old man and sat back obediently.

Wang Xincheng took a deep breath and changed his expression when facing Lin Mo.

"Mr. Lin makes a good point. I understand it in my heart. It's just that I didn't have the ability to change the situation back then, and now... to put it bluntly, I still have no other way. Reinforcing the seal is a bad strategy, but it's the only option I can take."

By saying this, he had already put himself in a very humble position.

An old - school feng shui master who had come all the way from Hong Kong was being submissive in front of a young man. Wang Leyao and Wang Keting felt mixed emotions, but neither of them said a word.

Because they knew that their father was doing this for them.

Wang Xincheng paused for a moment and continued.

"If Mr. Lin has a way to solve this problem once and for all, no matter how risky it is, I'm willing to get involved. I'm old and don't have much value left, but I can still contribute."

Lin Mo didn't respond immediately.

He looked at Wang Xincheng for a few seconds and then said something that surprised everyone.

"You came all the way from Hong Kong not just for the seal at Lilin Square, right?"

Wang Xincheng's hand twitched slightly.

"You want to solve the problem of the Five Disadvantages and Three Shortcomings on them."

The atmosphere in the private room changed.

Lin Mo pointed in Wang Keting's direction. "

Even if a person with a pure - yang body has an unhappy marriage, they should be good at their career. But look at him. He's in his early thirties, with no achievements in his career and no family. It's not his own problem; it's the Five Disadvantages and Three Shortcomings eating away at his fortune."

The expression on Wang Keting's face changed from indignation to confusion and finally settled into an indescribable silence.

Then Lin Mo turned his gaze to Wang Leyao.

"Your destiny was originally on the path of art, but you insisted on venturing into the business world and forced yourself to become a strong - willed woman. You've taken the wrong path, and the backlash has come."

He paused for a moment.

"You're already sick, aren't you? If you can't hold on, you may not have many years left."

Wang Leyao's hand holding the teacup trembled.

A few drops of tea spilled onto the table. She seemed not to notice and just held the cup still.

"Sister?" Wang Keting turned to look at her.

Wang Xincheng also looked over, with a father's sharp perception in his eyes.

He didn't ask further.

Because from his daughter's subtle reaction, he had already gotten the answer.

Wang Leyao slowly put down the cup. She lowered her head, with her bangs covering most of her face. After a long while, she looked up, forcing a smile that was uglier than a cry.

"Yes."

Just one word.

"What's the illness?" Wang Keting got anxious.

Wang Leyao didn't answer him. She just wiped the tea stain on the rim of the cup with her thumb.

She repeated this action several times, as if stalling for time.

Wang Xincheng clenched his fist under the table.

He was a feng shui master who had spent his life helping others avoid disasters, but in the end, his own children were tortured by the Five Disadvantages and Three Shortcomings, and he didn't even know about it.

"Cancer. It was discovered during a recent physical examination, but it's only in the early stage."

Wang Leyao finally said it, her tone incredibly calm. "There are ways to treat it, so I didn't tell the family because I didn't want you all to worry."

No one in the private room said a word.

Chu Miaomiao shrank back and secretly tugged at the corner of Xie Yuling's clothes.

Xie Yuling held her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

Jiang Yunlu looked down at her teacup, pressing her lips into a thin line.

Wang Xincheng closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, he seemed to have aged a few years.

He turned to Lin Mo. This time, he no longer looked like a feng shui master but a father pleading for the last hope.

"So, please, Mr. Lin, allow me to join this operation."

He slowly straightened his body.

"I can still contribute with my old bones."
