93: Boss Yang: Remember the benefits first. Dilraba is there; the feng shui arrangement of Shanghai is called "Double Swords Supporting the Sun."
"This guy is actually asking me for a favor? Seriously..."
Hearing Xu Lu's words on the other end, Boss Yang's expression froze, and she almost lost her temper.
But she suddenly remembered that asking him to go to the Magic City wasn't about acting, but rather about some Geomancy regarding an overpass; it sounded very mysterious, in any case.
Xu Lu actually understands Geomancy? Is that real or fake? This was what Boss Yang thought when someone approached her to ask for an introduction.
However, because the person who came to her had a special relationship with her—a relative of her uncle's generation—Boss Yang couldn't refuse and ended up calling Xu Lu.
That's right! The mysterious call Xu Lu received came from his top boss at the agency, Boss Yang. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered with her!
"Boss, have you figured out what kind of favor you're giving me yet? If you have, I'll set off now."
Hearing the silence on the other end for a moment, Xu Lu urged her again.
Regaining her composure, Boss Yang rolled her eyes and said:
"Ahem, Xu Lu, just keep that favor on my tab for now. There's one more thing I forgot to tell you. Reba is currently in the Magic City as well. She's there alone participating in a show and doesn't know anyone, so why don't you go visit her on set..."
"What does that girl being in the Magic City have to do with me? Fine, fine, I'll buy a plane ticket right now!"
Xu Lu distanced himself first before accepting the task.
However, after hanging up and seeing the address for Reba that Boss Yang sent over immediately, he muttered to himself:
"So that girl is in the Magic City participating in some show. When I asked her before, she was always being mysterious and wouldn't say. As for the overpass matter, whatever, I'll give Boss Yang some face, and I can check on Reba while I'm at it..."
Xu Lu bought a ticket right then and there, boarded the plane empty-handed, and arrived at the Magic City airport a few hours later.
"Mr. Xu, over here, over here!"
Just as Xu Lu was wondering where he should stay for the night, he didn't expect someone to be waving at him.
Xu Lu walked over, feeling a bit bewildered.
Before he could speak, the other person introduced himself:
"Mr. Xu, I am Tang Yu, the one with the livestream ID 'Feiyu Tangchao'..."
"Oh, you're the researcher from the overpass project. But how did you know I was arriving now?"
Xu Lu nodded and asked out of curiosity.
After all, he had flatly rejected this researcher named Tang Yu back in the livestream.
He didn't expect the other party to be waiting for him at the airport; it was clear they knew he was coming.
Sure enough, Tang Yu smiled and said:
"Mr. Xu, I also thought you wouldn't come, but later I heard from the person in charge that they used other connections to convince you..."
Xu Lu nodded.
The "other connections" the other party mentioned were clearly through Boss Yang. He hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence.
"So, where are we going now?"
Xu Lu asked.
Tang Yu led the way and said:
"Mr. Xu, if you're hungry, I'll take you to eat. If you're not, I'll drive you to the hotel first, and I'll pick you up tomorrow to handle the overpass matter!"
"Fine, let's just head straight to the hotel."
Xu Lu nodded and said casually.
Once he got in the car, he didn't say much, just looked at the scenery outside through the window.
He had never been to the Magic City, but as someone with the Feng Shui Secret Art skill, after watching for a while, Xu Lu realized that the Geomancy in this region was peculiar.
"Tang Yu, what is that tall building over there, and when was it built?"
Xu Lu asked.
As a local, Tang Yu knew quite a bit and replied:
"Mr. Xu, that is the most prosperous area in the entire Magic City, and the tall building you mentioned is the Magic City World Financial Center."
Xu Lu nodded and muttered to himself:
"The design of this building has malicious intentions: Twin Blades Holding the Sun. The sharp edges on all four sides gather malevolent Qi, and the blades slash the dragon vein of the river..."
"Mr. Xu, what are you saying?"
Tang Yu, who was driving in front, didn't hear clearly and asked curiously.
Xu Lu shook his head and said:
"It's nothing. Tang Yu, this building shouldn't have been built by our Daxia people, right?"
"Mr. Xu, you're right. Our Magic City's tallest building actually ended up being built by people from Japan; it's truly bad luck. Actually, the original tallest building was the slightly shorter Jin Mao Tower next door, but unfortunately, it isn't anymore. Fortunately, the Magic City is in the process of building a new tallest building, hoping to suppress Japan's financial center..."
Tang Yu also spoke with the indignation of a local.
"So it's a building from Japan. No wonder."
Hearing this, Xu Lu understood immediately.
He looked again at the Jin Mao Tower that Tang Yu had mentioned, discovering that the Geomancy of this former tallest building in the Magic City was also quite interesting.
The building was shaped like a pagoda, with sharp edges on all sides, standing there like a mace.
It was likely designed with a Geomancy layout capable of both offense and defense, considering that other buildings might surpass it.
It was just a pity that the financial center built by Japan was taller and more aggressive.
Not only was it highly destructive in terms of form Geomancy, like Twin Blades Holding the Sun, but it also drew in malevolent Qi from the surroundings in terms of terrain Geomancy.
This caused the original tallest building in the Magic City, the Jin Mao Tower, to only have defensive capabilities, barely able to protect itself...
"Isn't this Geomancy layout much more interesting than that so-called overpass?"
Xu Lu sighed inwardly and said:
"It's just a pity that I probably can't intervene in this kind of thing, otherwise... wait, that's not necessarily true."
Using the reflection in the car window to perform the Qiankun Qi Observation, Xu Lu discovered that after his thought arose, the fortune around him suddenly changed.
Within that mass of white Qi, which was far denser than an ordinary person's, a trace of purple Qi was faintly rising...
"Mr. Xu, we've arrived!"
Just as Xu Lu was deep in thought, Tang Yu reminded him:
"I'll send you up first, and I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning."
Xu Lu looked up and saw that the place he was staying was a five-star hotel; it seemed his treatment wasn't low-tier.
But thinking about how they could go through Boss Yang's connections and casually agree to a six-figure reward, a mere five-star hotel naturally didn't count for much.
"Fine! Thank you for the trouble!"
Xu Lu nodded.
Because it was already late, after arriving at the room, Tang Yu tactfully took his leave.
However, Xu Lu didn't rest immediately.
He was still studying the faint purple Qi within the white Qi, wanting to figure out what was going on.
However, before he could figure out the purple Qi, he discovered a small black line that had appeared out of nowhere.
"It looks like the overpass matter might have some twists and turns!"
After looking at it for a long time, Xu Lu suddenly muttered to himself.
