The backyard of the Lin Family was beautifully designed, featuring a canopy, a garden, a swimming pool, a rockery with a waterfall, and a pond filled with koi fish. There was even a botanical garden that resembled a forest from a fairy tale.
As they walked through the backyard and exited through a small gate at the back, they found themselves in an undeveloped area filled with dense woods, meadows adorned with wildflowers, and a natural stream. The cheerful chirping of birds filled the air, while cicadas announced the scorching heat of summer.
"Big Brother, is all this land owned by the Lin Family?"
"Yes, everything your eyes can see from here belongs to the Lin Family!"
Yan Kongyue stuck out her tongue, while Lin Lang was already used to it; they had explored this area thoroughly when they were younger.
"Just beyond this forest is that piece of land."
As they made their way through the woods, Yan Kongyue smacked her lips. "No wonder everyone wants to fight over this land. It's nestled between mountains and water, gathering wind and energy—truly a treasure of feng shui. No wonder the Lin Family is so wealthy!"
"Can you read feng shui too?"
"I know a little bit!" Yan Kongyue grinned.
The current residence of the Lin Family was built on the original site of their ancestral home, which had been burned down by the Winter Army before liberation. At that time, their grandfather was still young. Zeng Zu and his brothers had participated in the Anti-Japanese War. They received advance notice and helped the Lin Family relocate their assets. The invaders failed to achieve their goals and, in anger, burned down the Lin Family's century-old home.
"What a pity!"
Zeng Zu donated more than half of his wealth. Later on, he and their grandfather's uncles all perished on the battlefield. However, they saved many others; their grandfather said that was the true wealth of the Lin Family.
"Big Brother, you're amazing too!" Lin Lang understood how heavy the burden was on Lin Lie's shoulders. However, he wasn't cut out for business and could only protect the Lin Family in his own way.
Lin Lie shook his head and chose not to continue that topic.
"Yan Kongyue, tell us your plan!"
"Big Brother," she said playfully, "what if there were an ancient tomb here? Would they still fight over this land?"
"If there were an ancient tomb, not only would no one fight over it, but its value would also decrease."
After some time processing this information, Lin Lang finally blurted out, "Is there an ancient tomb here?"
"You fool! I said 'what if'!" Lin Lie smiled slightly, intrigued as he looked at Yan Kongyue. He knew this little girl would surprise him.
"I say there is one!" Yan Kongyue slowly lifted one foot and then brought it down again; a glimmer of gold vanished into the ground.
A few breaths later, the ground trembled slightly, accompanied by crackling sounds coming from beneath.
Once everything returned to calmness, Yan Kongyue exhaled deeply and brushed off nonexistent dust from her hands. "Big Brother, secretly contact the most authoritative archaeological team and have them come for an inspection! This formation can last for about a month."
"Formation? Little sister, can you explain that to Fourth Brother?" Lin Lang rolled his eyes at Yan Kongyue's words. However, he still found it hard to believe in things that only appeared in movies and dramas.
This is a formation I developed myself, which I call the Ju Huan Formation. Of course, it has nothing to do with the Xuanmen. As for why that is, you will find out later. For now, let’s discuss the intricacies of this formation. Those who enter it will be able to materialize their imagined thoughts and believe in them wholeheartedly!
However, I cannot allow them to keep believing that there is an ancient tomb here; otherwise, this land will be dug up beyond recognition. Therefore, I will only maintain the formation for a month. I trust that with my brother's abilities, a month will be sufficient. Yan Kongyue has once again activated her half-truths and fanciful storytelling mode.
Sufficient! But I wonder if the Bai Family sends someone; Lin Lie still harbors some concerns.
No, their petty tricks won’t be able to see through the formation I've set up. Don’t worry, brother! Once the Bai Family enters the Xuanmen, they should distance themselves from the mundane world. The Three Deficiencies and Five Flaws are limitations imposed on them. They have managed to rise among the Nine Great Families due to the Bai Family's centuries-old heritage, not because of their obscure cultivation. Otherwise, the Nine Great Families would have ceased to exist long ago.
Now, not only do they covet the Lin Family's position, but they have also resorted to using Evil Cultivator techniques to kill. This has crossed the line of heavenly principles. Just wait and see; the Bai Family is in for some serious trouble.
