Chapter 1172 - 349: [Virtue Unmatched by Position]_3
That Elder Zhong reportedly died in a miserable way, suddenly and mysteriously, and his body was never found! It even became an unsolved case in Port City, hanging unresolved to this day.
In an instant, the words Chu Keqing had just spoken felt like a heavy blow striking the heart of Mr. Yang Sr.
It’s either harboring malevolent intentions or blatant deception!
After a moment of stunned silence, Mr. Yang Sr. looked at Lu Sisi, and his eyes instantly burned with fervor!!
So, could this little girl, whom the family always looked down upon, actually be a treasure?
"Elder Zi! Elder Zi! Master Chu!" Mr. Yang Sr. couldn’t even stand steadily at that moment and urgently cupped his hands in a pleading gesture, "Please enlighten me. That year, that kneeling in the ancestral shrine, the ancestral tablets, the tablets..."
Chu Keqing shook his head, "Perhaps it was just the dry weather, and the tablets, being wooden, hadn’t been maintained for years, so it’s not impossible they cracked from dryness.
Or perhaps..."
Saying this, Chu Keqing deliberately paused, looking at Mr. Yang Sr. but stopped without continuing.
Dry weather causing the wooden tablets to crack?
How could such a coincidence happen! Not to mention the ancestral tablets in the family shrine, they were crafted by top artisans with the finest lacquer, and the technique was the top-notch. Besides, they were regularly maintained with oil...
How could they just crack from dry weather? And just at such a coincidental moment, they didn’t crack earlier or later, but exactly when this little girl’s knees touched the ground?
But seeing that Chu Keqing didn’t speak, Mr. Yang Sr., who had spent half his life immersed in profound cultivation, understood the rules immediately. After a brief contemplation, he quickly said, "My eldest son found me a piece of top-quality Emperor Green jade in South Asia two months ago. I intended to commission a top-tier craftsman to carve a Buddha amulet out of it, but I, an old man, lack the fortune to use it, so I will donate it to Elder Zi’s temple as a useful item. How about it?"
A piece of Emperor Green jade, if made into a Buddha amulet-sized object, would be valued at least in the eight figures.
Only then did Chu Keqing nod and gently say, "Alright, it’s not that I don’t want to say it, but because revealing the secrets of heaven lightly is against the rules, which Mr. Yang, you understand."
Saying this, Chu Keqing already turned and walked back to his seat, sitting down, lowering his head to ponder, and calculating with his fingers for a while.
Mr. Yang Sr. stared straight at Chu Keqing, while Yang Jiaming’s family all showed varying expressions.
The only one with a strange expression was Lu Sisi, who seemed like she wanted to say something, but she noticed just now that when Chu Keqing released her hand and walked away, he gave her a glance.
Although Lu Sisi was gentle-natured, she had learned some insights from staying by Chen Yan’s side for so long. She understood that Chu Keqing wanted to do something, and at this time, she naturally couldn’t speak out and sabotage, so she simply pressed her lips together and stood aside silently.
After a long time, Chu Keqing finally opened his eyes and looked at Mr. Yang Sr. with a complex gaze, sighing, "Ah!"
Mr. Yang Sr. looked grave, "Elder Zi, is there a resolution?"
Chu Keqing shook his head, "As for a resolution, it’s not quite possible. But I could share some insights with you. However, Mr. Yang, these words might not be particularly pleasant to hear."
Mr. Yang Sr.’s face twitched, and he took a deep breath, "Please, Elder Zi, speak frankly!"
"This prime, top-tier fortune, mostly arises in families of great wealth and nobility. That means the family is prosperous, with deep virtues nurtured over generations, which eventually nurtures a good result.
Whereas, a few, are not nurtured by the family’s accumulated merit but are due to the natural noble aura of the individual, granted by heaven, rich in personal fortune and fate! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
The former naturally brings happiness to all, benefiting the family regardless of birth, adding three points of fortune to the entire clan.
But the latter has its specifics.
If the bearer of the fortune holds it themselves, one must see if the family’s virtue can bear such fortune.
As the saying goes, unmatched virtue invites disaster!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Yang Sr. momentarily trembled, his face turning from white to red, then from red to black. As his lip and facial muscles twitched, he was exerting great effort to suppress his emotions.
Chu Keqing’s speech was practically an outright rebuke!
The implication being, the Yang Family lacks the virtue to support someone with such grand fortune! So, it’s not Lu Sisi’s fate that’s lacking, but rather the Yang Family members who are unworthy of benefiting from Lu Sisi’s good fortune!
If such words came from anyone else, it would’ve certainly offended Mr. Yang Sr., likely resulting in the person being ordered out by the household’s security with sticks!
But the one speaking now was Chu Keqing!
When Chu Keqing first came to Port City, he indeed saved the Yang family from a disaster and brought a young, promising Yang family member back from a prolonged coma.
It was undeniable real skill, not the deception of a charlatan.
Moreover, Mr. Yang Sr. was superstitious all his life and knew that such an expert willing to help is feared not for speaking the truth, but for uttering flowery words to muddle through.
Instead, when harsh words are spoken, it suggests encountering real trouble!
"Such good fortune, what a pity... If she could be entered into the Yang family records, joining the lineage, her fortune could bolster the family’s luck.
As long as she’s around, the Yang family gains three points of fortitude. Moreover, with this fortune nourishing, it could be sustained for at least two more generations, securing the Yang family fifty years."
Upon hearing this from Chu Keqing, Mr. Yang Sr. immediately asked, "Then, if I open the ancestral shrine now, record her in the family tree, and let her join the lineage..."
