Below the stone steps, a few security guards stood at attention.


    The old master, grasping his python head crutch firmly, regarded Charlie with a hint of reverence.


    Without uttering a word, Charlie approached the old master and bowed deeply.


    The old master quickly discarded his crutches to assist, earnestly eximing, “No, please don’t! You mustn’t do that…”


    Some security personnel exchanged surprised nces.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    When the Patriarch of the Wade family bowed to the old master, he remainedpletely unfazed. Yet now, seeing the driver show such respect, they wondered why.


    At that moment, the old master inquired, “Young man, may I have a word with you in private?”


    Charlie nodded, replying, “Of course.”


    The old master turned to the security guards and instructed, “No one is to follow us.”<fn229f> Newest update provided by Find★Novel</fn229f>


    Everyone nodded in agreement.


    Charlie acknowledged Orrin with a nod and walked alongside the old master towards the mountainside.


    They arrived at a tform made of natural marble, nestled against the mountainside.


    Charlie felt an overwhelming energy emanating from Wade Mountain. Upon reaching this expansive, t tform, he suddenly understood that this was the heart of the entire Feng Shui arrangement.


    The old master positioned them at the center of the tform and stated with great respect, “The entirety of Wade Mountain and its Feng Shui configuration has been established for you.”


    Charlie, taken aback, replied, “Established for me? What do you mean? How do you know me?”


    The old master exined, “Four years ago, the Wade family faced a dire situation, bing ensnared in the Dragon Shoal. That was around the time of your wedding.”


    “My wedding?!” Charlie echoed in disbelief. “That was when I got married?”


    “Indeed,” the old master confirmed. “The Dragon Shoal refers to you.”


    Charlie furrowed his brow and asked, “Are you implying that I was trapped in a conversation?”


    “Yes,” the old master replied reverently. “You are the sole dragon of the Wade family! What is a dragon? It soars above in the sky and swims below in the sea, yet you have be ensnared by the river. This is the essence of the dragon trapped in the shoals!”


    “If you remain trapped, the entire fortune of the Wade family will dwindle. At that time, your grandfather was gravely ill and unable to seek treatment due to this predicament!”


    After sharing this, the old master added, “Consequently, your grandfather sought me out.”


    “Three months before your grandfather reached out to me, I had conducted a divination for myself.”


    “The hexagram indicated a dead end, suggesting my life force might dwindle in a few years. By then, I was already over a hundred years old. My passing was of little concern. However, within that dead end, a revtion emerged—a sect whose hexagrams all pointed east.”


    “I didn’tprehend its significance at first and sought further clues. Then your grandfather approached me, requesting I return to China to assess the Feng Shui for the Wade family. It was then that I realized the dead endy in the eastern mothend, at Wade’s residence.”


    “Upon arriving in Eastcliff, I meticulously analyzed the Feng Shui elements for the Wade family. After several consultations, I deduced that the Wade family possessed a dragon, yet it was ensnared in the shallows. If this dragon could not ascend to the skies, not only would the Wade family perish, but there would also be no trace of the life path I had charted. Thus, I dedicated four years to searching and reconstructing Wade Mountain. Last spring, I sessfully broke the confines of the Wade Shoal, allowing you to escape your troubles.”


    Charlie’s heart raced at this revtion. Could the key to his liberation truly be the “Apocalyptic Book”? Last spring, everything had aligned perfectly with his “Apocalyptic Book”!


    Reflecting on this, Charlie marveled at the old master’s expertise in Feng Shui divination while also feeling a twinge of concern. Did he have any inkling of the existence of the “Apocalyptic Book”?


    This was a deeply personal secret, one that even those closest to him could never know!


    Thus, he deliberately probed the old master, “Sir, you mentioned that by reconstructing Wade Mountain, I was able to escape my troubles. What exactly do you mean by that? How did I get out of trouble, and what does that entail?”


    The old master shook his head. “This hexagram is beyond my fullprehension. I can only predict that you are now free from your troubles and set to soar high. However, as you rise, you will also bring me my life. I have extended my own life by ten years, waiting here for you, yet I cannot discern what that life entails.”


    Charlie was even more astonished. Could the “life” the old man referred to be the rejuvenation pills he possessed?!
