Huo Sining’s gaze was fixed on the reporters below the stage. Seeing the expressions on their faces, Huo Sining understood what they were thinking.

On the other side, Huang Hanyun was also sitting below the stage, already having received prior instructions from Huo Sining. Seeing the situation shift overwhelmingly in Huo Sining’s favor, a gleam of joy flashed in her eyes, and she subconsciously lifted her head to look at the silent Huo Sining.

Huo Sining nodded slightly and gestured towards Huang Hanyun.

Following Huo Sining’s cue, Huang Hanyun stood up with the microphone and loudly asked:

"Miss Huo, I would like to ask you a question. Although your mentor and the English Earl have come forward to clarify for you, there’s one point I still don’t quite understand. Why, after seeing the post your cousin made mentioning Oregon Volcanic Park, did you so decisively go to the park? Did you know beforehand where you could dig up diamonds?"

The question posed by Huang Hanyun was precisely the confusion in the minds of numerous reporters present, as well as the many netizens watching the live stream.

Indeed, upon seeing the reply from that forum member about digging diamonds in the post, the initial response of normal people would be disbelief. It was clearly just a member making fun of the original poster, and obviously, their suggestion was a bad idea. If diamonds were really so easy to dig up, someone would have already been there long ago. Why would it be your turn?

The surprising thing was that after seeing this post, Huo Sining and her group actually went to Oregon, and even more unbelievably, they actually dug up diamonds in the Volcanic Park—not just one but several, each one invaluable.

This was too strange; Huo Sining and her group’s bizarre reaction seemed as if they truly knew beforehand that there were diamonds in the park.

Huang Hanyun’s words echoed the sentiments of the crowd, prompting everyone to look at Huo Sining collectively, hoping to glean something else from her expression.

However, what they didn’t know was that Huang Hanyun’s question was part of Huo Sining’s design from the start.

Therefore, upon hearing Huang Hanyun’s seemingly sharp questioning, not only did Huo Sining not become angry, but she actually smiled elegantly and stood up confidently.

She did this to make one final defense, dispelling any last doubts from the reporters present.

"Dear reporters, you have indeed asked a very good question."

"Perhaps many of you have heard, I once participated in an international antique appraisal competition and achieved good results in New York. However, antique appraisal is only a very small branch of archaeology. In fact, in archaeology, besides appraisal, there are studies of history, geomancy, investigation, and even studies of mineral rock formations and other various categories."

"By coincidence, besides appraisal, I am also quite adept in the field of geomancy."

"The term geomancy may not be familiar to some of you, but when it comes to Feng Shui, many of you might recognize it."

Upon hearing Huo Sining mention geomancy and Feng Shui, many reporters below the stage exchanged puzzled looks, unsure of her meaning.

A few who guessed at her meaning immediately widened their eyes in shock and looked at Huo Sining: "Miss Huo, what do you mean by that? Are you suggesting that the real reason you managed to dig up so many diamonds is because you understand the art of geomancy?"

Huo Sining nodded with a smile:

"I know that after saying this, many people will find it unbelievable, even impossible to believe."

"This might be why I’ve been silent all this time, reluctant to openly explain."

"If it weren’t for this event escalating, affecting many innocent people, I wouldn’t have stood up, because I always felt this was just my personal action; I didn’t need to explain so much to the public."

"However, now the rumors have severely impacted my life, my friends, my career, and have even prompted some criminals to use it to divide Huaxia Country, leading some clueless crowds to target the government. This I cannot tolerate."

"In fact, I do understand the art of geomancy. Before I apprenticed under Professor Zhou Shitao, I had an encounter in my youth, where I met an old beggar in Bashu. This old beggar, because I cared for him, imparted his lifelong knowledge to me, which included the geomancy skills I just mentioned."

"Feng Shui geomancy, Dragon Vein Seeking, this knowledge sounds mysterious, and to many it seems superstitious, but actually, once you understand it, you will find that geomancy aligns completely with many scientific principles we currently grasp."

"Geomancy essentially involves combining astronomy and geography, utilizing mountains, water, rocks, vegetation, and history, among numerous other factors, to analyze the reasons for forming a certain Feng Shui, to determine if the site contains the ancient items we wish to find."

"Of course, while I make it sound simple, truly mastering this art is not an easy task. However, that’s beside the point; the point is, I did indeed use geomancy to dig up many diamonds in the Volcanic Park."

Huo Sining’s words left the reporters’ faces filled with astonishment; none of them expected Huo Sining to offer them such an explanation.

A reporter from the other side still wanted to ask more, but Xie Daoyuan, sitting next to Zhou Shitao, finally could not resist standing up and said: "On this point, I can indeed vouch for Huo Sining."

"I am Xie Daoyuan from the archaeology department of S University. I have been involved in archaeological excavations at several ancient tombs. Two years ago, at Xianyang Yunling, a thousand-year ancient tomb was discovered. Due to the intrusion of tomb robbers, explosives were detonated, directly destroying the passageway to the tomb, leaving the internal structure of the tomb precarious, nearly collapsing, putting the people inside at peril."

"At that time, I was there alongside Professor Shi Qingyun from Shuimu University. We professors went to the archaeological site with our students, as did Huo Sining and her brother Ji Kun."

"The tomb was inaccessible, and the people inside trapped. The passage was completely blocked, leaving us professors helpless outside, watching in vain without a solution."

"At that critical moment, Huo Sining stepped forward, employing her unique skills, using geomancy to its fullest extent. After observing the subtle changes in the tomb’s surroundings, she quickly sketched the tomb’s internal structure map, and helped us find the best location to safely rescue people and ensure the tomb’s interior remained unharmed."
