The ground around the graves showed several areas with different soil colors, indicating signs of digging. Opening her Heavenly Eye, Gu Qin saw a layer of black, malevolent qi covering the ancestral graves. With one glance, she knew the graves had been tampered with, disrupting the spiritual energy and setting up an array that gathered negative energy. Ancestral graves represent the family's fate, so gathering negative energy would inevitably affect the family.

Gu Qin looked at Ren Yi, "Director Ren, the graves have indeed been tampered with. You can take a closer look at these areas. Although they have been covered, they still appear different from the surroundings."

Ren Yi examined the areas Gu Qin indicated and saw the differences. His face paled, and his hands trembled, "Who could be so vicious?"

He turned and asked Gu Qin, "Master, is it because something bad was buried here, affecting the feng shui of the graves, causing my family's misfortune?"

Gu Qin nodded. Ren Yi, infuriated, tried to dig with his bare hands to see what was buried, but Gu Qin stopped him, "Director Ren, don't touch it randomly. Let me handle it. You just watch."

Ren Yi, his face pale, stepped back, "Thank you, Master."

Gu Qin brought a small shovel and began digging. The disturbed areas were typical of a Five Vengeful Array, which gathers negative energy. Although the specific artifacts used varied, they were all designed to gather negative energy, including certain talismans.

Gu Qin did not use her Heavenly Eye to see what was buried but dug slowly. After about half a meter, she sensed something hard underneath. Gently sweeping the dirt away, she revealed a black iron-like object. Turning to the stunned group, she said, "Don't touch it. I'll dig up the other areas first."

Ren Yi and his wife nodded, looking at Gu Qin with even greater admiration. Lu Qingrong was also deeply moved; witnessing such events firsthand was more impactful than hearing about them.

Gu Qin remained silent, digging up the other areas and revealing similar black objects. After about fifteen minutes, Gu Qin had uncovered five locations, all containing the same items. Observing them, she noted that one of the Five Vengeful Array positions was slightly off, suggesting the array's center was not perfectly aligned. Otherwise, Ren Yi's family might have faced fatal consequences sooner. This was a fortunate turn of events.

Given the slight misalignment, Gu Qin deduced that the person setting the array was not highly skilled.

Seeing five areas dug up, Ren Yi was surprised and asked, "Master, what exactly is buried under the graves? Just these few items can disrupt the feng shui?"

Gu Qin replied, "Absolutely." She knelt down to sweep the dirt off the object, "This is a Five Vengeful Array, designed to gather negative energy and disrupt the positive energy around the graves. The misalignment in one of the array points saved your family from a worse fate."

Ren Yi and his wife exchanged a glance, both breaking out in cold sweat.

Gu Qin paused, staring at the object in the pit. It appeared to be an iron-like item, possibly nurtured in an extremely yin environment, as it exuded a strong aura of negative energy.

Gu Qin warned the others, "After I break

"Listen to me. All of you, don't come up here. Retreat ten feet back and no matter how long it takes, don't disturb me, do you understand?"

The others nodded repeatedly. Lu Qingrong said, "Qin Qin, be careful."

Gu Qin nodded, watching as they retreated quite a distance before she took out the vermilion talisman and set up the array formation. After setting up the array, she sat cross-legged in the center and casually sent five talismans flying, hitting the five array points of the Five Evil Array. In the distance, everyone heard a buzzing sound that made their ears ring.

The five people stood far away and couldn't see the situation around the Five Evil Array clearly; they could only see Gu Qin sitting in the middle with her eyes closed. After a while, another five talismans were sent out. This went on for about ten minutes, and by then, she had already thrown out seven sets of talismans. The pile of talismans beside her was almost depleted.

When the last few talismans were sent out, all three of them grew anxious, nervously waiting. However, Gu Qin remained calm. Her cultivation wasn't as high as theirs, but the initial struggle from the five evil artifacts had weakened significantly. By now, they were barely moving at all.

With no more talismans left, Gu Qin used her qi to completely silence the evil artifacts. She continued to cultivate and dissipate the surrounding negative energy. The location of the ancestral graves was good, but the surrounding spiritual energy had been damaged. Once the negative energy was cleared, there wouldn't be much of an issue.

She sat there for three hours until the negative energy around the ancestral graves was gone. Slowly opening her eyes, Lu Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her awake. At first, he could still see some movements from Gu Qin, but after half an hour, she stopped moving and just sat there cross-legged. He had been somewhat alarmed by this.

Gu Qin got up, picked up the items from the five pits with her outerwear, and gathered them into a bundle. She told Ren Yi, "It's fine now. There's no major problem with the ancestral graves. I've dispelled the negative energy around them, so it won't have a significant impact. But there is still some damage that needs time to heal. During this period, your family might experience some minor misfortunes, like catching colds or wind chills."

Ren Yi sighed with relief and thanked her. Seeing her pale face, he asked worriedly, "Master, are you alright?"

Gu Qin shook her head. "No problem, it has no effect. Let's go down the mountain now."

Lu Qingrong pointed to the items in Gu Qin's hands and said, "Qin Qin, is this all because of these things? What do you plan to do with them?"

"Destroy them," Gu Qin replied. These items were evil, and keeping them would serve no purpose. Besides, she intended to teach the person who set up the Five Evil Array in Ren Yi's family a lesson. Only by destroying these items could she counteract the person responsible.

Ren Yi approached and expressed his gratitude again. "Truly, many thanks to Master."

Only now did he truly believe in the existence of such people and the wonders of mysticism.

They all began walking down the mountain. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Gu Qin said, "Wait for me at the car. I'll join you after I destroy these items."

The others went down first, and Gu Qin sat cross-legged under a large tree, placing the five evil artifacts on the ground. She used her qi to shatter everything and destroy the items. In a civilian house in the capital, a man in his forties suddenly vomited blood, his face filled with fear. "Who... How is this possible..." He vomited again, his face turning deathly pale, eyes closed, and fell lifelessly to the ground, only his nostrils showing faint signs of breathing.

Seeing the items destroyed, Gu Qin sneered inwardly. If the person responsible had personally raised these evil artifacts in a place of evil, he wouldn't live much longer. After burying the items, she went down the mountain to meet the others. They returned to the capital by evening.

Ren Yi went to the hospital first, where his father's condition had stabilized. His aunt and mother were taking care of him. Seeing their return, his mother asked, "Ayi, what happened?"

Ren Yi recounted the events. Hearing that something had been buried beneath the ancestral graves, his mother's face turned pale. "Who would do such a thing? Such heartlessness, desecrating the ancestral graves..."

"Don't worry, Mom," Ren Yi said. "The master has taken care of it. There's nothing to worry about."

His mother thanked Gu Qin again.

Ren Yi said, "Everyone hasn't eaten yet. Mom, let's take the master and others out for dinner."

His mother and aunt had already eaten, so Ren Yi took Gu Qin, Lu Qingrong, and his wife out for dinner. At the table, Gu Qin didn't mention the loan issue. She simply said, "This seems to be the work of someone close to Director Ren. Perhaps Director Ren offended someone or it could be related to his workplace. Until we find out who did this, Director Ren won't be able to rest easy."

Gu Qin's thinking was simple: the more she did, the easier the loan would become, and the more favors she owed, the bigger help Ren Yi could provide.

Ren Yi naturally felt that this matter was somehow connected to himself. With only one sister, who was also honest and married to a decent family, and his own business not being very big, he couldn't think of anyone who would target them. It must be his position that caused trouble. He had been a bank director for some years, always diligent and conscientious. He wondered if it was due to some past clients or perhaps someone wanted to climb the ranks and saw him as an obstacle. He really couldn't be sure. Ever since coming back, he had been pondering this question. Now, hearing the master bring it up, he asked, "Master, is there a way to find out who did this?"

"Of course," Gu Qin nodded. "But it will take two or three days. I need to rest for two days too. If Director Ren wants to find out who did this, I can help you in three days. Actually, finding out now wouldn't be difficult, but if Director Ren thinks this can be easily resolved, he might underestimate the effort involved."

Earlier, Gu Qin had indeed expended some energy dealing with the ancestral graves, so resting for a couple of days was normal.

Hearing this, Ren Yi remembered how pale Gu Qin looked after handling the ancestral graves, realizing she had spent considerable energy. He was immensely grateful and thought that if they could provide reasonable materials for the loan, helping them wouldn't be impossible.

They didn't discuss the matter further and started chatting about other topics. Near the end of the meal, Gu Qin suddenly remembered something and said to Ren Yi's wife, "Auntie, there's something I want to talk to you about."

Ren Yi's wife looked up in surprise. "Master, what do you want to say?"

"It's about your son. This morning at the hospital, Auntie asked who called your son. Your father was still in surgery and didn't want them to worry too much, so I didn't tell you. The person who called your son should have been his girlfriend. I observed your son's face and noticed he has a fate of love entanglement. Your son has an intelligent appearance, with his ears higher than his brows and a broad forehead. He's very smart and excels academically. Your son is probably a junior in high school this year."

Ren Yi's wife paled and quickly responded, "Master is right. My son is indeed a junior in high school." How could her son, who had only been in school for a few days, already have a girlfriend? And what kind of love entanglement?

Gu Qin had seen signs of a love entanglement in Ren Yi's son earlier that morning, but it was still in its early stages. She hadn't mentioned it then because her grandfather was undergoing surgery and she didn't want to worry them.

In the morning, she knew it was Ren Yi's son's girlfriend calling because she had opened her third eye. She had known about the impending love entanglement and opened her third eye to investigate. Through her third eye, she saw a beautiful girl crying in a bar, asking Ren Yi's son to come save her from harassment.

Gu Qin didn't look any further. She knew that the love entanglement was likely caused by this girl. Despite her boyfriend's grandfather being hospitalized, she insisted on having him come to the bar. Gu Qin concluded that the girl was selfish, but Ren Yi's son also had his faults.

Gu Qin didn't comment on this but focused on solving Ren Yi's son's problems. "I'll handle your son's matters. Your son is intelligent and should easily get into a top university. However, I noticed a dark aura around his official career. This love entanglement might affect his studies. Please don't confront him about this; he's young and might become more stubborn if you do. Just be patient."

She explained that the official career area above the nose reflected future academic performance. Ren Yi's son was smart and in his final year of high school, likely to get into a good university. However, the official career area was currently dark, indicating academic issues, possibly even expulsion or suspension.

"He's already facing a love entanglement, which will certainly affect his studies."

"Thank you so much, Master," Ren Yi's wife said repeatedly. Initially, she wanted to call her son immediately to ask if he had a girlfriend. Now, hearing the master's words, she calmed down. Even though she and her husband were highly educated, they would still lose their composure if faced with their son's predicament.

Ren Yi was surprised to learn that his usually well-behaved son had a girlfriend, especially during his grandfather's surgery. Hearing the master's words, his face darkened even more.

Gu Qin continued, "Don't rush. I'll gather some information first. Your son's love entanglement has some time before it fully manifests. There's no immediate problem, so don't worry."

"Thank you, Master Gu," Ren Yi said.

After eating, Gu Qin and Lu Qingrong returned to the hotel. Lu Chuan and the others were staying at the hotel too. Gu Qin asked them to investigate Ren Yi's son's girlfriend, as she had only seen glimpses through her third eye. As for why Ren Yi's son ended up with this girl, Gu Qin didn't know yet. She had only glanced at him briefly in the morning, noting his intelligent appearance, which suggested a love entanglement.

Whether this entanglement was due to his fate or the influence of the ancestral graves, it didn't matter. The outcome was the same—Ren Yi's son had a love entanglement. Even if the ancestral graves' issue was resolved, the entanglement would persist because Ren Yi's son had already met the girl.

Ren Yi and his wife went to the hospital to check on their parents, planning to stay overnight to allow Ren Yi's mother and aunt to rest.

By nine o'clock, they returned home. Ren Yi's son, Ren Bo, didn't stay overnight and came home every day. By nine-thirty, he still hadn't returned. Ren Yi and his wife showered and packed some things before sitting on the sofa. Ren Yi's wife couldn't help but ask, "Husband, where did you find this master? She's so young, and does she really have such great abilities?"

Ren Yi replied, "Today's events at the ancestral graves and the prediction at the hospital about Ren Bo getting a phone call—she was right. Ren Bo never came home this late before. See, she was right, Ren Bo has a girlfriend. I overheard part of his phone call. He told the person his grandfather was in surgery and couldn't come, but I don't know what the other person said. Eventually, he agreed to go..."

Ren Yi was genuinely angry. His son was a senior in high school, and dating would surely affect his studies. Moreover, this girlfriend wasn't a good match. She insisted on meeting him despite his grandfather's surgery. He considered her selfish and believed that if she were a sensible girl, they could have discussed priorities and allowed him to focus on his studies first.

Ren Yi's wife checked the clock on the wall. It was now nearly ten-forty, and their son still hadn't returned.

She asked, "Husband, since the master is so capable, should we wait and see what she suggests instead of confronting our son, to avoid rebellion?"
