<h4>Chapter 704: Chapter 706: Everyone Knows Now</h4>


    Assistant Shang was puzzled after hearing the exnation, "So what should we do next?"


    Nangong Sanli was naturally suspicious, and now that he knew Nangong Yinghao had found out he was the instigator behind the scenes, he naturally wanted to gain more insight into what Nangong Yinghao would do next.


    He pondered for a moment and said, "Let’s wait. Once things settle down on Nangong Yinghao’s end in a few days, I’ll go and feel him out. They won’t do anything to me in the short term, rest assured."


    Assistant Shang nodded, "Alright, I understand. I’ll go handle Lin Zhang’s situation now."


    Nangong Sanli nodded in return, not saying anything further.


    Meanwhile, Chu Ge also surmised that Nangong Sanli wouldn’t take any action in the short term, so he could properly tidy up his gambling stone shop in peace.


    Thanks to the Nangong Family’s assistance, the reputation of the shop was thoroughly established, and in the past few days, a continuous flow of people visited. However, because the shop wasn’t open yet, the visitors left with a sense of unfulfilled anticipation.


    That day, Nangong Man Sha brought a Feng Shui expert to Chu Ge’s shop.


    Chu Ge was busy at work and upon seeing the visitor, he instinctively spoke up, "We’re not open yet, I’m sorry."


    With a smile, Nangong Man Sha stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and said, "Mr. Chu, you’re quite dedicated, aren’t you?"


    Recognizing the familiar voice, Chu Ge looked up to see Miss Man Sha in a small suit standing behind him, "Oh, it’s Miss Man Sha. What brings you here today?"


    It had been a while since Nangong Man Sha had visited. She looked around the ce, which was fully organized and ready for business, and nodded her satisfaction, "Not bad, it seems Mr. Chu has quite the talent for entrepreneurship."


    Chu Ge chuckled, "Don’t tter me. Didn’t you and Yun Hai help me out with this? If I were alone, I really would’ve had trouble."


    It wasn’t until he had to do it himself that he realized how exhausting and difficult it could be to open a shop, especially a gambling stone field. While running the rtions part was easy because of the Nangong Family’s support, he was still somewhat unfamiliar and ufortable with the social interactions.


    He felt he was more suited to the carefree cultivation life.


    He nned to retire and be a behind-the-scenes shopkeeper once the gambling stone field was up and running.


    "Mr. Chu, let me introduce you. This is the Feng Shui master appointed by the Nangong Family," Nangong Man Sha said, pointing to a person dressed in Taoist robes who had been inspecting the ce since they entered.


    "Feng Shui master?" Chu Ge was puzzled as to why she brought this person.


    Nangong Man Sha nodded, "The gambling stone field is unlike other businesses; the positions of many things are particr, and since your shop is almost ready, it’s time to choose an opening date. He’s here to help you pick a good day."


    Chu Ge nodded. All of this was of little concern to him, but since Nangong Man Sha said so, he didn’t want to lose face and let her make the arrangements.


    Previously, Nangong Man Sha had been busy with the internal affairs of the Nangong Family and had not paid attention to the specific positioning and orientation of the furniture and disy cabs in the gambling stone field.


    This time, she had made a point to invite the Feng Shui master over after hearing the Old Master’s suggestions.


    Seeing Chu Ge had no objections, Nangong Man Sha turned to the Feng Shui master and said, "You may begin."


    The Feng Shui master nodded and took apass in hand, surveying the surroundings. Initially, he thought the cement of objects in the shopcked any systematic order, but after looking around, he found that there was a greater method to their arrangement than he had anticipated.


    Surprised, he looked at Chu Ge and asked, "Mr. Chu, are you familiar with the Five Elements Technique?"


    Chu Ge nodded slightly, "I know a bit."


    The Feng Shui expert smiled. Since Chu Ge imed to know just a bit, he couldn’t take it seriously. But from theyout of the surroundings, the mastery was beyond mere superficial knowledge.


    "The cement of everything is very systematic, there are no issues," the Feng Shui expert stated truthfully.


    Nangong Man Sha was taken aback, but without suspecting anything else, she continued to ask, "What about the opening date? Master, when do you think is the best time for us tounch?"


    The Feng Shui expert gazed at Chu Ge and inquired, "Mr. Chu, have you already chosen an opening date?"


    Chu Ge nodded, "I’ve selected a few possibilities: either tomorrow, the day after, or next week."


    For him, next week might be toote, and there was also a summit happening that he feared might sh with the opening date.


    After pondering for a while, the Feng Shui expert calcted and soon spoke with a smile, "The dates chosen by Chu Xinseng are all auspicious, but the day after tomorrow is the most suitable."


    Indeed, the day after tomorrow was the most suitable for Chu Ge, not because of the particr advantage of that day, but because tomorrow was simply too hasty, and next week was impractical, leaving only the day after tomorrow.


    Chu Ge smiled and refrained frommenting further.


    The Feng Shui expert felt his visit was somewhat redundant, but he didn’t feel remorse for not having utilized his skills. After confirming he was no longer needed, he bid farewell to Nangong Man Sha.


    The Feng Shui expert bowed with his hands sped, his sleeves sliding down to reveal a ck vein on his arm, "My work here is done, I shall take my leave."


    Chu Ge’s gaze briefly dwelt on the man’s arm, causing a slight startle in his heart, but he didn’t think too much of it and simply nodded, "Take care."


    As the Feng Shui expert left, Nangong Man Sha looked at Chu Ge somewhat speechlessly, "Mr. Chu, do you realize this Feng Shui expert is a personal master of the Nangong Family? His personal visit to check the Feng Shui for your shop is quite exceptional, and yet he couldn’t find a single fault with it."


    Chu Ge smiled but did not reply, his gaze deepening at the thought of the ck vein on the Feng Shui expert’s arm.


    "Mr. Chu, is it decided then? Your opening will be the day after tomorrow?" Nangong Man Sha asked, not noticing Chu Ge’s expression.


    Chu Ge nodded, "I had nned to open the day after tomorrow anyway, everything is ready."


    Nangong Man Sha grinned, "Good, I’ll be there to support you."


    The two fell silent for a moment, when suddenly, Lin Dong hurried in from outside.


    He didn’t notice Nangong Man Sha was there and ran directly to Chu Ge, speaking urgently, "Mr. Chu, something terrible has happened, Lin Zhang has been murdered."


    Chu Ge looked at him, his eyes devoid of much surprise.


    Seeing Chu Ge’s reaction, Lin Dong was puzzled, "Mr. Chu, you knew already?"
