Redemption

Gu Qin said, "What does age have to do with this? Or does Mr. Ren think that because I'm young, I can't possibly have real skills and am just deceiving you? I'm in high school this year, my age is indeed not very old. Mr. Ren's family situation is already quite urgent. If it isn't handled quickly, someone might die. Talking on the phone won't help much. Now, I'll go find Mr. Ren and take a look at his situation, shall I?"

Ren Yi, though still suspicious, could not say anything more and simply nodded, "Alright then. I'm currently at the hospital. My father just broke his leg."

After hanging up, Lu Qingrong had already stood up, "Let's go. I'll drive you there."

It took them over an hour to reach the hospital. The doctors were preparing Mr. Ren for surgery tonight. When they arrived at the hospital, it was Ren Yi who met them. Seeing Gu Qin, Ren Yi was genuinely taken aback. At over forty years old and having reached the position of bank president, he should have been good at concealing his emotions. However, seeing Gu Qin now, he couldn't help but show his astonishment.

Gu Qin was very composed and extended her hand, "Mr. Ren, hello."

Ren Yi shook her hand, "Master, hello."

Gu Qin said, "Let's go see Mr. Ren's father first." After all, they had come to the hospital to visit the patient.

Entering the ward, the doctor was still examining Mr. Ren. He was in pain, groaning and sweating profusely. Gu Qin took a look and didn't offer any help; his injury wasn't too severe, and after surgery and rest, he would recover.

Gu Qin did not disturb the doctor and put down the fruit basket before stepping out. Ren Yi and his wife followed. Gu Qin noticed that they both had a faint aura of gloom on their faces. Ren Yi's forehead had a darker aura compared to his wife, who seemed better.

Gu Qin observed Ren Yi and suddenly exclaimed, "Mr. Ren, could you please show me what you're wearing around your neck?"

Ren Yi pulled out a golden thread from around his neck, revealing an jade pendant. He took it off and handed it to Gu Qin, "Master, why are you looking at this?"

Gu Qin accepted the jade pendant and noticed many fine cracks on it. She returned the pendant to Ren Yi and asked, "Did you have this pendant on during the car accident two days ago?"

Ren Yi replied, "Yes, the jade pendant was on me during the car accident two days ago. These cracks appeared then. I thought maybe it got damaged..."

Gu Qin's expression became more serious, "Mr. Ren, if not for this pendant protecting you, the accident could have either taken your life or caused you serious injuries. This pendant must have been given to you by someone else, as you cannot buy such things."

Ren Yi's face turned pale, "This jade pendant was indeed given to me by someone else, several years ago. I helped an elderly man on the road, and he looked at my face and offered me something. I didn't want it, but he put the jade pendant in my hand. At first, it was rough, and I thought it was worthless, so I kept it. The old man told me to wear it every day, as it might save my life."

"I didn't take it seriously at first, but after I got home, I found a string and wore it. Surprisingly, the pendant became smoother over time..."

Ren Yi looked at Gu Qin and asked, "Master, was it really this pendant that saved my life?"

Gu Qin nodded, "This pendant is a talisman that can protect against one disaster. The old man probably saw that you would have a calamity in a few years and gave you the pendant. You should thank him; if he hadn't given you this pendant, you wouldn't have waited for me to arrive."

Ren Yi was speechless for a moment. Gu Qin continued, "This talisman has lost its effect, but since you've worn it for so long, you can keep it. Just don't expect it to protect you anymore."

Ren Yi naturally wouldn't throw away the pendant. He asked, "Master, can you tell us what's going on with our family's problems?"

Gu Qin didn't hide that she had calculated their birth dates and said directly, "I've already calculated your birth charts, and you will face a crisis this year due to being targeted by small enemies. In other words, the issues you're facing now are related to your own relationships. Someone doesn't want you to have an easy life, possibly hiring a geomancer to set up some kind of formation or tamper with your ancestral graves, leading to these problems."

Ren Yi's wife, who had been standing beside them, had always doubted Gu Qin's abilities. Now, she believed somewhat and asked Ren Yi angrily, "Who is this person? How despicable!"

Ren Yi had worked diligently all these years and never offended anyone. He had no idea who could be behind this.

Gu Qin said, "Let's focus on solving the problem first. Have you lived with the elders? If not, and your family members have been frequently encountering misfortune, it might be related to your ancestral graves. Only by tampering with the graves would it affect everyone."

Ren Yi and his wife exchanged glances, hardly believing it. Ren Yi's mother, however, believed more in this. She told Ren Yi, "Ayi, your sister has also been having bad luck recently. I think what the master said is correct. You two don't believe in this, but we old folks have heard stories like this. There was a family whose fortune changed after moving their ancestral graves. People got sick, accidents happened, and eventually, the whole family fell apart."

"The village passed by a Taoist priest who saw the location of their graves and became worried. He asked if the family was still intact. Later, it was heard that only a few remained. The Taoist sighed and said the grave site was wrong. He thought it had been moved recently and asked if it was possible to save a few lives. The Taoist went to the family and told them the graves were problematic. Eventually, the Taoist helped move the graves, and the family gradually recovered, though they never returned to their former glory. So, choosing a good burial site is crucial, and those who are half-hearted are the most harmful."

Ren Yi and his wife had never heard their mother mention these things. Ren Yi asked, "Mom, why didn't they move the graves back to their original location?"

Ren Yi's mother shook her head, "How would I know? I only knew the Taoist helped move the graves and left."

Gu Qin said, "A good spot cannot be moved casually. Once disturbed, the spiritual energy will dissipate, making it useless to move it back."

Ren Yi's mother said, "Master, can you please check our family graves?"

Gu Qin replied, "Tomorrow. I'll come early tomorrow morning and take a look."

Gu Qin smiled and said, "Mr. Ren, don't worry about it. We can go now."

Ren Yi's son, Ren Bo, who was in his late teens, was peeling fruit and said, "Dad, Grandpa's leg is like this, and you didn't even tell me. If Auntie hadn't called me this morning, I wouldn't have known."

The woman with a bandage on her forehead was likely Ren Bo's aunt, Ren Yi's sister, who had also experienced some misfortune recently.

Ren Yi's wife said, "We didn't want to distract you from your studies."

Ren Yi's mother added, "Go back to school. You're in your senior year, and you need to focus. Your grandpa has us to take care of him."

Ren Yi was awake and smiling at his grandson. Gu Qin looked at Ren Bo and said, "You can go back to school now. Your grandpa is fine."

Ren Bo finished peeling the fruit and cut it into pieces, placing it on a plate for Ren Yi, "Grandpa, eat some."

The woman in her thirties said, "Dad, if you feel unwell, let us know. Today, your brother and sister-in-law are going back to our hometown."

Ren Bo asked, "Dad, why are you going back to the hometown?"

Ren Yi replied, "To check the ancestral graves."

Ren Bo, who was quite clever, guessed immediately and asked Ren Yi, "Dad, are you still believing in this? Did you get someone to check again, saying it's because of the ancestral graves? Dad, I'm telling you, this is all superstition..."

Gu Qin and Lu Qingrong were standing outside the door when they heard Ren Bo. Gu Qin knocked on the door, and Ren Yi, about to speak, opened it and said, "Master, you're here. Are we leaving now?"

Ren Bo looked at Gu Qin, surprised by her young appearance, and stayed silent, pulling Ren Yi aside, "Dad, I have something to say."

Ren Yi felt troubled, knowing his son didn't believe in this. He himself was half-believing it.

Gu Qin smiled and said, "Mr. Ren, perhaps explain it to him first. We can leave after that."

Ren Bo glanced at Gu Qin but remained silent.

Ren Yi had no choice but to take his son to the hospital corridor. Ren Bo said, "Dad, this is superstition! Even if there is such a person, can a girl your age really handle it? She must be a fraud. Why are you doing this? Let's just let her go. If you believe in this, find a proper master, not just anyone."

In the empty corridor, Ren Bo's voice was loud enough for others to hear. Gu Qin didn't mind. Being young was a fact, and misunderstanding was normal. She needed to prove herself by doing the job well.

Ren Yi's mother apologized, "Master, I'm truly sorry. My grandson doesn't believe in this. He's not targeting you. Young people nowadays are like this."

Gu Qin said, "Grandma, it's okay. I don't mind."

Ren Yi also felt troubled, "Ren Bo, let's not argue about this. We agreed to bring her, so let's go."

Ren Bo remained silent, knowing he shouldn't target the young girl. They entered the ward, and Gu Qin glanced at Ren Bo, who looked back at her. Ren Bo couldn't help but say, "Dad, I'll follow you back to the hometown. I've already taken a leave, so I can make up the classes later."

Gu Qin smiled, "You won't be able to go."

Ren Bo was stunned, "Why?"

Gu Qin said, "You'll receive a call, so you won't be able to go."

Ren Bo asked, "What are you talking about?"

Ren Yi and his family looked at Gu Qin, and Ren Yi's wife said, "Ren Bo, stop arguing. Go back to school, and we'll take the master back to the hometown."

Ren Bo insisted, "No, I'll follow you."

Just then, Ren Bo's phone rang. Everyone was stunned and looked at Gu Qin. The shock was evident.

Ren Bo was also surprised, hesitated, and stepped out to answer the call. A moment later, he came back, looking conflicted, and said to Ren Yi, "Dad, I won't go. I have some things to do at school."

Ren Yi's family was even more amazed, and their faith in Gu Qin increased. Ren Yi said, "Alright, if you have things to do, go back to school."

Ren Bo looked at Gu Qin one last time and left. As soon as he was gone, Ren Yi's wife asked, "Master, how did you know someone would call my son?"

Gu Qin smiled, "I saw it."

She didn't elaborate further and asked, "Shall we leave now?"

Ren Yi's wife wanted to ask who had called her son, but seeing Gu Qin's unwillingness to elaborate, she refrained.

The group then headed to Ren Yi's hometown.

Ren Yi's hometown was not far from Beijing, located in a nearby town. The journey took about three to four hours. Lu Qingrong and Gu Qin followed behind in another car. This was Lu Qingrong's first time witnessing Gu Qin's abilities, and just by looking at Ren Bo, she knew he would receive a call. Could it really be seen through facial features?

Of course not. Gu Qin used her Heavenly Eye to see this. No matter how powerful the mystical arts were, they couldn't predict future events through a person's face. But because of the Heavenly Eye, she could see these things.

On the way, Gu Qin closed her eyes to rest. She didn't know what would happen until they arrived at their destination. She brought tools like Joss paper, vermilion, and a shovel.

After four hours, they arrived at a small town. They went straight to the Ren family's ancestral graves, which were on a mountain. As she ascended the mountain, Gu Qin looked around. The area had good feng shui; unless the graves were placed in specific spots, there would generally be no issues. Anywhere else would be fine for burial.

Ren Yi noticed Gu Qin looking around and asked, "Master, have you found anything?"

Gu Qin replied, "The place has good feng shui. The surroundings are beautiful, making it a good place for retirement. For now, I can't see much. Let's check the graves first."

There were clear signs of human interference, but not too much. The spiritual energy was stronger than elsewhere, confirming it was a good place for retirement.

Ren Yi believed that the issue was most likely due to tampered ancestral graves, although there were other possibilities. However, it couldn't be a problem with the family's feng shui, as that wouldn't affect multiple family members.

They continued walking into the mountains for about half an hour until Ren Yi pointed to a grave, "Master, it's right there."

The tombstone was large, and the surrounding area was clean, showing that it was regularly maintained.

Gu Qin looked around and noticed a small hill to the east of the tomb. As she approached, she saw that the west side of the tomb was well-placed, and the spot was excellent, benefiting future generations.

She circled the tomb and noticed several places where the soil had clearly been disturbed, even though it had been covered.
