"Oh, so you're talking about Feng Shui theory?" Xiao Kai sneered, "This is an era of science, who believes in this stuff anymore. Honestly, even I don't believe it."
"You... You actually don't believe me!" Xiao Guan seemed to get excited, shouting loudly, "Believe it or not, with it built this way, someone will die within half a year!"
Xiao Kai's eyes turned, and he started to feel doubtful.
After all, Xiao Guan had been locked up for who knows how long, and although he had lost his memory and seemed to have no abilities, in terms of knowledge, he should be quite knowledgeable. This Feng Shui theory had been passed down for many years. Although the Feng Shui masters now were all quacks and frauds, in ancient times, there might be some genuine knowledge.
"Alright, Kai, " Xiao Guan changed his address once again, "I'll do an experiment for you, and then you will believe me."
"Alright." Xiao Kai suddenly became interested.
"Well, you're very fond of Xiao Zhu, aren't you?" Xiao Guan smiled mischievously, "Do you want to hug her?"
"Uh... yes." Xiao Kai blushed, shamelessly speaking the truth, "It would be even better if I could kiss her."
"Kissing is too difficult, hugging is easy," Xiao Guan said, "See that person on the stage named Ting Xue, he emits a heavy feminine energy that interferes with Xiao Zhu, and so you need to counteract that person's feminine energy with Xiao Zhu. In addition, the position of this hall is not good, the fire element is very strong, and fire restricts wood. So, you need to use the fire's nature of this position to impact the chair Xiao Zhu is sitting on. This way, once the chair breaks, Xiao Zhu will fall, and due to the clash of the feminine energy, she will fall in the opposite direction. If you are standing there, you will catch Xiao Zhu."
"How should I do it?" Xiao Kai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, quietly looking at Xiao Zhu and thinking, "Xiao Zhu, I love you so much, please don't blame me."
"It's very simple, just an array," Xiao Guan began, "I won't explain the principle to you in detail, anyway, go find four trash cans. Place one directly facing where that Ting Xue is, another ten paces in front of Xiao Zhu, and two in the farthest corners from you. Then come back and stand behind Xiao Zhu."
Xiao Kai gritted his teeth, thinking, "For my happiness, I'll have to do something embarrassing." He swiftly got up and ran to the far corner of the hall, starting to move the trash cans. Xiao Zhu looked at him strangely, seeing him run off, and considering him to have gone to the restroom. She continued listening to Sima Ting Xue's speech.
Xiao Kai was dressed in casual clothing, and it looked like he was actually working when he moved the trash cans. It didn't raise any suspicion at all. Even a lady politely stopped Xiao Kai, gracefully throwing a chewed gum into the trash can, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, comrade."
Xiao Kai rolled his eyes and didn't say anything, moving the trash can to the corner.
The first three trash cans were okay, but the fourth one was problematic. Xiao Kai moved it in front of Xiao Zhu, then while moving backward, he counted silently, "one, two, three, four..."
"It looks like this person snuck in to steal the trash can. It's really strange, why would he specifically steal trash cans instead of other things?"
"I don't think he's a thief, he must be a pervert. Think about it, many modern men have fetishes. Some have a foot fetish, some have a lingerie fetish, and some enjoy sadomasochism. This person is quite strange, he actually likes trash cans."
"No, you're all wrong. Look at this person, he actually doesn't like trash cans. I think he's searching for something in the trash can. It's probably a scavenger who somehow snuck in."
"Oh, the pressure on modern people is really intense. I think some strange behavior is understandable. Dude, I support you! So genuine!"
Xiaokai felt embarrassed, tongue-tied. He had encountered many embarrassing situations in his life, but this was the first time he felt this embarrassed. And to make matters worse, at that moment, the sound of a "click" filled the air, and flashes of light began to appear.
"Uh oh, I've been photographed, my reputation is going to be ruined," Xiaokai thought sadly. "Tomorrow, my face might be all over the city."
"Kai, don't worry, I've got your back, nothing will happen," Xiaoguan boasted in his heart. "You can relax, once they take the photo, it will be immediately discarded at the hall. Hehe, because I've already cast a spell."
"Forget it," Xiaokai had no intention of paying attention to him. "You've ruined me."
"I'll compensate you for the clothes," Xiaokai stuttered. "How much? I'll pay you."
"A hundred thousand yuan! Hmph!" The young beauty immediately wiped away her tears and extended a bright white hand towards Xiaokai. "Hand it over!"
As Xiaokai looked at that hand, as white as if transparent, with a faint sweet fragrance and crystal clear nails, he couldn't resist the temptation to sink his teeth into it. However, the words "a hundred thousand yuan" felt like a blow to the head, making him jump up in shock, his voice rising eight degrees: "So expensive!"
"Of course, this is a limited edition product, just showcased at the Paris Fashion Festival when I came back two days ago. A hundred thousand yuan is still cheap. Originally..." The young beauty was still talking incessantly, but Xiaokai was already dumbfounded. "Can I wash it for you?"
"You can't wash it," the young beauty solemnly said. "If you wash it with water, the dress will deform."
Xiaokai was at his wits' end, so he looked at Xiaozhu.
At first, Xiaozhu was perplexed, but then she began to find the situation quite dramatic. As Xiaokai looked over, everyone's gaze turned towards them. Xiaozhu, being much steadier than Xiaokai, said, "Kai, I'll help you with the money."
"Wow, sister, your dress is the same as mine," the young beauty suddenly ran over, from just about to cry moments ago to now beaming with joy. It was indeed a child's temper. "When did you buy it?"
"A friend gave it to me," Xiaozhu said calmly. "I'll compensate you with a hundred thousand yuan. Xiaokai is my friend, so don't blame him."
"Hehe, since he's sister's friend, there's no need for compensation, right?" The young beauty affectionately grabbed Xiaozhu's hand. "Are you also here for the bid?"
"Uh... yes." Xiaozhu blushed after being calm just a moment ago. But the young beauty didn't care, and immediately called out to the stage. "Grandpa, let sister go first."
The young beauty's grandfather, who was obviously a prominent figure in the Hometown Real Estate, was sitting at the back, affectionately nodding towards the young beauty, filled with adoration.
"In fact, we..." Xiaozhu really couldn't endure it anymore. No matter how calm she was, after all, she was just a young girl, and she peeked at the proposal that had been turned into a ball and thrown into the trash can, feeling completely at a loss.
"I'll go up!" At a critical moment, Xiaokai suddenly summoned great courage, took a big step forward, and said, "Xiaozhu, you watch from below, I'll speak!"
