15: Chapter 15 This Song Yiqing doesn't understand anything about feng shui!
"Both of them?"
Shi Zhishan spoke up, sounding slightly surprised.
Fei Erfeng nodded and said,
"Miss Bai showed me a clip of Song Yiqing's judgment regarding the Black Sandstorm earlier.
If we had believed his judgment at that time, perhaps so many exploration teams wouldn't have been buried in the sea of sand."
"Indeed,"
Shi Zhishan nodded slightly.
"This Song Yiqing seems to be a Feng Shui Master? I remember he seemed to use Feng Shui abilities when determining directions."
"Correct,"
Fei Erfeng nodded slightly and said,
"Nowadays, the divide between official authorities and those from the 'Jianghu' is too great, which directly results in our inability to coordinate effectively with each other.
We can't complement each other's strengths."
These well-reasoned words caused Xue Xingye's expression to turn increasingly ugly and dark.
The thing he wanted least was for Song Yiqing to join their team.
This was absolutely intolerable.
However, his voice carried little weight here, and he had no way to effectively stop any of this.
So he could only watch helplessly as they discussed various matters.
But just then, a voice came from the screen of Song Yiqing's livestream.
"Hurry up and move! A massive rainstorm is coming immediately!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on site froze instantly. Everyone looked up at the sky; it was filled with stars, without a single cloud in sight.
At this moment, Fei Erfeng quickly checked his wristband specifically used for receiving weather updates, but he didn't see any message alerts. He couldn't help but freeze as well.
"The Meteorology Department hasn't given any alerts."
Hearing this, everyone present was a bit dazed, but Xue Xingye seemed to have found an opportunity and quickly spoke up.
"So this Song Yiqing doesn't understand so-called Feng Shui at all! He's completely making things up to fool people!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Bai Yao was the first to jump out, speaking up directly.
"During the Black Sandstorm earlier, Song Yiqing's prediction was precise. If we had believed him, we wouldn't have encountered the Black Sandstorm at all!"
"That was a fluke,"
Xue Xingye's expression was extremely solemn, looking as if he wanted to drown Bai Yao in his own spit.
"How can you be sure Song Yiqing is definitely right? What makes you so certain? Does one time make you trust him that much?"
"You!!!"
Bai Yao was left breathless by his retort. The most important point was that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
The people on site looked at each other, seemingly pondering whether Song Yiqing's judgment was actually credible.
Xue Xingye pressed his advantage,
"While it's better to believe it might happen than to ignore it, there is still a more important issue at hand.
After this whole night of trekking, we are already extremely exhausted.
The Taklamakan Desert is extremely dangerous at night.
Under these circumstances, if we continue traveling, the danger we face will be infinite!
Everyone, are you all willing to take that risk?"
He became more excited as he spoke, even feeling like an orator.
This feeling made Xue Xingye feel like he was back in his school days, when Song Yiqing would stand on the podium like this, representing the entire student body in a speech...
The sudden thought that popped into his head made Xue Xingye almost choke on his own saliva.
He then quickly adjusted his thoughts and slowly looked at the people on site, wanting to see their reaction.
However, Fei Erfeng shook his head and said,
"I can see that this young man, Song Yiqing, is very unusual. If what he says is true, then the danger of this massive rainstorm will definitely not be lower than the previous sandstorm!"
No one on site dared to contradict Fei Erfeng's authority.
No matter how reluctant Xue Xingye was, he didn't dare to invite trouble at a time like this.
After all, the other man's status in the archaeological world was definitely not something a small fry like him could compare to.
If things got too out of hand, he might be the one on the list of people leaving the team!
After a brief discussion, the group immediately set off.
At this time, Bai Yao pulled Yi Menglian aside and asked in a low voice,
"Menglian, why do I feel like this guy named Xue Xingye seems to know Song Yiqing?"
"..."
Yi Menglian fell silent and did not respond, while those nearby glanced over slightly.
After a few seconds, Yi Menglian lowered her voice and said,
"If I remember correctly, the person who was originally supposed to be specially recruited into our Archaeological Team was someone named Song Yiqing.
But for some reason, HR said the name had been mixed up."
"What???"
Bai Yao let out a cry of surprise, her face full of shock. Clearly, she hadn't expected such a thing.
Then Yi Menglian lowered her voice again,
"Don't discuss it here. No one knows exactly what happened with that matter. I only just remembered it myself."
"Oh."
Bai Yao nodded slightly and stopped talking, but her mind had already inexplicably begun to fill in a series of melodramatic plotlines.
Song Yiqing was so outstanding that he suffered the jealousy of the powerful, and to top it off, Song Yiqing had also made off with the school beauty of the era, causing tensions to escalate.
In the end, the powerful were forced to use the most disgusting methods to deal with Song Yiqing.
And now, Song Yiqing was making a king's return...
In almost an instant, countless similar scenarios flashed through Bai Yao's mind.
Because of this, the look she gave Xue Xingye became even more filled with disgust!
'What a piece of work!!'
...
At the same time,
Inside the Forbidden Land Exploration Meteorology Department,
When Song Yiqing said there would be a massive rainstorm tonight, all the meteorologists on site were in a state of shock.
Afterward, Tu Shu anxiously began ordering everyone to check the status of the data and what the situation with that data was.
But the final results showed no cloud accumulation, no moisture, and it was even extremely arid.
After hearing this,
Tu Shu fell into silence.
For a moment, he didn't know what decision to make.
Believe him?
Or not believe him?
But if he didn't believe him, what if it was another case like the Black Sandstorm?
Floods were also possible in the desert, and similar cases had appeared several times in the Forbidden Land Exploration Logs.
This was the point he was most conflicted about.
"This is killing me, what should I do... time is life... this..."
Time passed minute by minute. Since the Forbidden Land Exploration Official had not issued a rainstorm warning, most exploration teams did not choose to evacuate quickly to find refuge in abandoned ancient cities.
But when the first drops of rain began to fall from the sky, everything changed.
