Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Spiral Building_1
At this moment, Master Yi’s arrogance and conceit had vanished completely.
When he looked at Ye Fei again, his eyes were filled with the utmost reverence.
"Mr. Ye! Master Ye! You truly deserve the title of a real master of geomancy! I, Yi Haiyun, am not worthy! I’m overwhelmed with shame!"
Master Yi hung his head low, clasping his hands above his head in a gesture of complete prostration.
As he spoke, the old man even started to kneel on both knees, to express his boundless admiration.
Ye Fei quickly extended a hand to support the octogenarian.
"Master Ye, you flatter me too much. As for the grand discipline of geomancy, I have barely grasped one ten-thousandth of its principles, how can I bear the title of a master?"
Master Yi quickly shook his head, "Mr. Ye, to say such a thing truly shames an old man like me! If you can’t bear the title of a master, then in this world, surely nobody else can either."
"The Northern Dipper Taiji Immortal Array, such profound and wonderful methods, and you have managed to use them so skillfully. The great challenge of our field, the Blood Formation, seems as easily solved by you as picking something up with your fingertips."
"For these reasons alone, who but you could be the number one in geomancy at present!"
It was clear that Master Yi’s words came from a heartfelt place.
Although others may not fully understand Ye Fei’s geomantic prowess as he did, they could infer a thing or two from Yi Haiyun’s abject submission.
This was a legendary figure in the geomancy circles of the Bay Area, speaking thusly; it was apparent that Ye Fei’s geomantic attainments were indeed unrivaled.
Zhu Guangbo and Bai Yunfei then came to a sudden realization.
Turns out Ye Fei was not only a master healer, with deep martial skills and a sharp mind, but his achievements in geomancy were also at a pinnacle.
Is this still a human being?
To call him half-human, half-god would not be an exaggeration!
The two elders hurriedly led everyone forward to offer their thanks.
One could say that Ye Fei’s intervention not only saved the elders again but also helped them recover losses of over a hundred billion.
This favor, deeper than the sea, heavier than mountains!
"Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your life-saving grace!"
"Mr. Ye, we are sorry, we misunderstood you just now; please forgive us!"
"Mr. Ye, you are like our reborn parents, please accept our deepest bow!"
Many people knelt down, performing a ritual of three bows and nine kowtows.
Ye Fei quickly gestured for everyone to rise.
His gaze then turned to the two young apprentices, frozen like statues by the door, and with a simple point, their acupoints were unsealed.
"Fools! What are you still dazed for! Have you not come to apologize to Master Ye yet?"
Although their acupoints had been sealed, the two had clearly seen everything, and were already sincerely convinced by Ye Fei.
Rushing forward in just a few steps, they both fell to the ground, thumping their heads in apology.
"Master Ye, we were blind before, showing you disrespect repeatedly. We hope you, like a prime minister with a belly big enough to sail a boat, won’t take offense to us minor characters."
Ye Fei lifted a hand, "Enough, there’s no blame on those who don’t know, get up."
Face should be given; they had kowtowed and admitted their mistakes, what more was there to ask for.
Besides, with Ye Fei’s stature and status, there was no need to hold a grudge against two nameless minor characters.
"Mr. Ye, now that everything has been settled and it’s noon, why not join us for a small celebration over a drink? What do you say, Master Yi?"
Ye Fei had no objections, but Yi Haiyun’s face turned crimson as he repeatedly declined.
"No, no, this time I’ve emerged from my seclusion and failed to be of any help; I almost caused a great mistake. If it were not for Master Ye’s timely intervention, it’s unimaginable what might have happened. I truly have no face to eat and drink in merriment, haha..."
"What are you talking about, Master Yi? Everyone makes mistakes, who can guarantee a lifetime of perfection? Let’s not talk about the unhappy things anymore. You’ve come from afar, and we must make sure you are well taken care of!"
The two seniors were also men of status; of course, they could not let Yi Haiyun leave in such a dispirited fashion.
As people with identity and status, saving face was necessary.
Initially, Yi Haiyun was adamant about not attending, but after Ye Fei spoke, he dared not decline further.
At the table, everyone was toasting and drinking merrily.
As the hero of the day, the man who had turned the tide, Ye Fei was naturally toasted again and again.
Yi Haiyun too took this rare opportunity, to ask for much knowledge on geomancy.
Without this discussion, Yi Haiyun would hardly believe, Ye Fei’s understanding of Feng Shui was leagues beyond that of an elder in his eighties.
If Yi Haiyun was a middle school student in terms of Feng Shui knowledge, then Ye Fei could be considered to have postdoctoral research level expertise.
Not only that, Ye Fei was also extremely proficient and knowledgeable in all branches of esoteric studies like physiognomy, Yin-Yang theory, and Qimen Dunjia.
Yi Haiyun was amazed beyond belief!
He even offered to become a disciple of Ye Fei on the spot.
An octogenarian, glass in hand, kneeling on both knees, faced a young man barely in his twenties with utter devotion to become his pupil.
The thought of that scene was almost comically moving.
Of course, Ye Fei could not agree to this request.
But considering Yi Haiyun’s sincerity, he still promised that if Yi Haiyun had any unresolved questions regarding the mystic arts in the future, he could always ask him.
The banquet came to an end.
Yi Haiyun, thoroughly drunk, was taken back to the hotel to rest by the two apprentices.
By the square, Zhu Guangbo and Bai Yunfei stood by Ye Fei’s side.
Suddenly they said, "Mr. Ye, we know you never ask for anything in return for your deeds, But if you don’t let us express our gratitude in some small way, we truly would not rest easy."
"Indeed, Mr. Ye, we heard that the honorable lady, your wife, is currently looking for a new office space. So, the two of us have decided to present a modest gift to express our appreciation."
The two gentlemen pointed towards a thirty-nine-story spiral tower next to the central building.
"This spiral tower, said to have been designed by a famous Italian master and with a cost equal to that of the Central Building, we plan to present the entire building as a gift to the honorable lady. We beseech you, Mr. Ye, please do not refuse our offer!"
Saying this, both men looked at Ye Fei with sincere and hopeful eyes.
