“We’re leaving now!” After a minute’s hesitation, they realized that it would be disrespectful to the master’s professionalism to delay any longer.

Rowan was still worried. “Miss Amelia, is there anything we can help with?”

“You guys…” Amelia glanced at the two young masters and spoke frankly, “If something really happens, I’ll need to protect you. Didn’t your family ever tell you both that people with light fortunes should take extra care to rest?”

Barney stammered, “No, no one ever mentioned it.”

“Well, I’m telling you now.” Amelia’s eyes grew deep as she added, “Remember my words. After dinner, go straight to sleep when you get home. Don’t go anywhere, especially not to the Crawford family. Even if your good friend calls you, don’t go. If anything happens, I won’t be able to save you.”

Barney immediately nodded. “The Crawford family pushed us out to take the fall, so we definitely won’t go!”

“Right.” Rowan seemed distracted, his mind elsewhere.

Amelia noticed his distracted look an

    When Spencer made that kind of request, Rowan would usually go along with it, no questions asked. But this time, he didn’t agree.“Brother, I’m really useless anyway. The Crawford family has you, and Grandpa won’t say anything about it. I’ll leave it at that. I’m hanging up now.”“Rowan! Are you out of your mind? You need to come to the Crawford family now! I—”Before Spencer could finish, the call dropped with a series of beeps.Spencer froze for a moment, never imagining that, on this day of all days, pulling out the family’s influence wouldn’t work on his younger brother.He gripped the phone tightly, frustration evident in his posture.A member of the Crawford family approached, with Mr. Crawford leading the way. He looked at Spencer, his voice low. “Rowan didn’t come?”“Grandpa Crawford, he’s probably really exhausted these past few days. His mind’s not in the right place,” Spencer quickly explained. “Should I go up and stay with Barret?”Mr. Crawford didn’t agree. He leaned on h

    At the same time, after Rowan turned off his phone, he immediately made a U-turn.Barney opened his mouth in surprise. “Rowan, aren’t we leaving?”“We’re not leaving. Miss Amelia is the safest place for us right now.” Rowan had made up his mind.Barney blinked. “Then what about me?”“You go home,” Rowan glanced at the darkening sky, “My brother will definitely come looking for me at your place. Just tell him you don’t know where I went.”Barney hesitated. “But Uncle Cromwell saw you today.”“He’s too busy with Abby to worry about contacting my brother.” Rowan was especially sharp this time. “Park the car at my apartment, then take a taxi home. Don’t waste time.”Barney realized the urgency of the situation and nodded. “Got it. Leave it to me.”Rowan certainly knew his older brother, Spencer, very well.Once Spencer couldn’t get through to him, he started tagging people in his group chats.But the rich kids were all silent.After asking several peripheral people, they all said they had

    Barret clearly didn't take Master Dawnshade seriously. He stood up, crushed the peachwood beads on the floor, and sneered, "People like you only help the wicked do evil. Let me tell you, you can’t save him. I will make sure he comes down to keep me company!"The housekeeper was trembling in fear. "M-Master, the young master, he...""The time hasn’t come yet. It can’t hurt anyone for now."In this world, everything has its cause and effect. Even if one seeks revenge, it must happen at the exact right moment.Master Dawnshade glanced at the housekeeper. "The plan has changed. Tell Mr. Crawford to get Mr. Fisher here as soon as possible!"If Mr. Fisher didn’t come, Master Dawnshade wasn’t sure he could save Young Master Crawford’s life.He had already prepared everything, but now someone had disrupted the flow. Who had made the vengeful spirit leave Barney?Master Dawnshade clenched his fists, his eyes never wavering.It wasn’t yet the time when the vengeful spirit’s resentment would rea

    To fully understand what was going on, Amelia needed to go underground.The hotel's complex layout actually provided a form of protection for her mother.This was the first time Amelia had encountered such a situation. She hadn’t moved her mother, choosing instead to stay here because she sensed something amid the chaotic energy.Although the hotel was dangerous, at least it helped preserve her mother’s sanity.She tapped in a code and used equipment to calculate the path.In the Five Elements system, there was a technique called "Acupoint Sealing."Originally, the hotel had no issues, but some of its smaller design choices had caused the overall Environmental Energy to deteriorate, bringing bad luck.The first step was to adjust the flow of energy and restore balance. The next task was to head underground.There was definitely something hidden beneath the hotel, something that wasn’t easy to detect.The role of the Mountain stone was extraordinary.Once Amelia had a plan in place, s

    Amelia held the purple jade pendant between her fingers, trying to clear her mind and piece things together.What role exactly was Abby playing in all this?Aunt Ashford’s boldness suggested she wasn’t just an ordinary maid, and Zane’s attitude was highly suspicious. However, Amelia didn’t believe Abby was Zane’s illegitimate daughter.It was simple logic. If Abby truly had a blood connection to Zane, she wouldn’t have been just a sponsored student of the Cromwell family. She would have replaced her and become the seventh young lady of the Cromwell family.Everything was full of contradictions.She remembered her grandfather saying that the reason the Cromwell family had fully sponsored Abby, making her different from the other sponsored students, was because she resembled him so much when he was young...Amelia’s gaze deepened, about to ask more questions when, suddenly, the sound of a wind chime filled the air.But there were no wind chimes in the room.Amelia turned to look outside

    The man spoke with a few light coughs, his sickly appearance not diminishing the natural aura he radiated. The Buddhist beads on his wrist were wrapped several times, vibrant and striking, symbolizing his cold, ascetic nature.He was already tall, and now, standing in the hotel corridor, his long legs and strong physique made him appear even more striking, almost out of place in this world.“So, how did you get in here when even the telecom signal is down?” Amelia asked, gripping his wrist and pulling him into the room.They were standing very close to each other.Carl hadn’t expected her to act so suddenly. His nose brushed against her hair, and as he lowered his gaze, he could catch the faint fragrance of her.Amelia’s “girlfriend power” was unmatched—quick and precise. Anything that tried to get closer had to stop in its tracks.Soon, all the lights in the corridor dimmed.Behind Carl, a thick black mist stretched, seemingly endless.He couldn’t see it, but Amelia could.However, s

    He called him Mr. Fisher?Rowan felt like his legs were going to give out. “I…”“I heard that Mr. Fisher really admires my fiancée and thinks that I can’t compare to you in any way,” Carl lightly coughed, a small smile curling on his lips. “I thought it was just gossip.”Whoosh!Rowan was hit like an arrow, his expression incredibly vivid.He suddenly remembered the things he had said at the vintage shop.At that time, he seemed to have mocked Amelia for telling her boyfriend everything...Now, he regretted it so much. He wanted to go back in time, shut his mouth, and stop flirting and making jokes!“M-Misunderstanding, Mr. Jenkins, it’s really a misunderstanding!”In their circle, Rowan couldn’t believe anyone wouldn’t fear Carl.Forget what his brother said behind his back—when facing the real deal, it was all about one look from him.There was an unspoken rule in their circle: anyone could compete, but no one could compare to Carl. He was simply out of their league.Carl’s gaze lan

    In the suite, Elijah, who had been guarding Ruby, suddenly straightened her back, her eyes bright with excitement.Ruby was confused. “What’s wrong with you, child?”Elijah licked her lips and gestured enthusiastically with her small hands: I’m hungry, there’s so much good food outside, running around everywhere, but the boss won’t let me go, so I’m stuck here with Auntie.Ruby heard noises coming from the living room. The suite was large, and normally, the soundproofing should be good. But strangely, she could hear a lot of sounds—first, the chimes of a wind bell, followed by the thud of footsteps running, as if they were right next to her.Thinking back, when she had been sleeping earlier, she had often heard voices. Every time she mentioned it to her husband, Zane, he always thought it was a sign of her illness worsening. Sometimes, she even doubted herself—why could she hear these sounds when no one else did?But now, seeing Elijah's reaction, it was like she had found someone who

    In the past, Zane might have played along with this act, but now he was drowning in his own troubles and had no time to worry about Abby’s feigned frailty."I should never have listened to you!"With that, Zane stormed out of the hospital.The moment he left, Abby grabbed her phone and opened the web. The news of the situation flipping against them was everywhere.Even in the group chat, the topic dominated, and almost everyone had tagged her."Abby, that Taoist was Master Cloudwalker! Why didn’t you tell us earlier?""Master Cloudwalker is incredibly difficult to meet. My grandfather went to Dragon Lake Mountain multiple times and never even got to see him. He still has to show him the utmost respect.""I can’t believe Master Cloudwalker was at your family’s hotel. If I had known, I would’ve booked a stay too!""Abby, my dad wants to know—can you get in touch with Master Cloudwalker? Money isn’t an issue."Suddenly, the tone of the group had changed completely.Rowan remained silent.

    "Enough!" Zane was utterly enraged, his temper flaring beyond control. "Are you trying to lose your job? Find a solution right now! Minimize the damage!"Minimize the damage? How could that even be possible?The public statement was still there, blatantly displayed for all to see. Even if the PR department wanted to delete it, netizens had already taken screenshots and spread them everywhere.Mr.Cromwell’s words about disowning his son weren’t just empty threats—they were real.Secretary Frank didn't want to hurt Zane too much, so he had kept some matters vague. But that didn’t mean Mr.Cromwell didn’t understand.He wasn’t senile enough to be deceived. His own son had tried to reclaim control of the hotel by shamelessly exposing his own daughter to the public. This made Mr.Cromwell utterly disappointed.Secretary Frank knew he was upset and asked, "Mr. Cromwell, the PR department wants to know if the corporation should intervene and seek help from mainstream media?""No need.

    This was like throwing a stone into a still pond—waves rippled instantly!Netizens were stunned.“What?! The head of Dragon Lake Mountain? A real Taoist?!”“Let me explain—Master Cloudwalker is the last remaining guardian of the sect. He’s an expert in the Art of Divination and the Five Elements.”“Damn! I know this guy! He’s on Wikipedia! A national-level expert in astronomy and geography?”“Here’s another fact—Master Cloudwalker never casually performs divinations, nor does he work for any aristocratic families. He only recently came down the mountain for a Taoist conference.”“So… Q Hotel really does have a fortune-enhancing effect?!”No one had expected such a dramatic twist.For Dragon Lake Mountain to personally step in and clarify meant there was no fraud involved.Q Corporation’s subsidiary account was now in utter chaos.“I just have one question—The new manager never said anything, so why did this Cromwell guy feel the need to apologize on her behalf?”“Can’t you see?

    Rowan understood the message—he needed to handle things privately.Amelia glanced at the chat history but had no intention of exposing Rowan. “You still hang out with them. It wouldn’t be good for you to speak up for me. Put your phone away.”Saying that, she tossed the phone back to him.Rowan, however, wanted to show his allegiance. “I was ignorant before, thinking that being in their circle made me important. But now I see things differently. Gossiping and ostracizing people isn’t right. Amelia, I’m not siding with you just because you’re powerful. After today, I’ve genuinely realized a lot.”He had lost his mother at a young age and always craved companionship. He enjoyed being surrounded by people, the liveliness of it.That was why he never lacked friends—even if he didn’t like doing certain things, he’d go along with them for the sake of his ‘brothers.’But real brothers wouldn’t hold him back, and they certainly wouldn’t push him out to take the fall.They thought having money

    "That's not entirely true. Sebastian’s stage presence is insane. If you take a photo or video with him, it’ll go viral instantly.""The the Cromwell family is already trending. Isn’t he only loyal to his biological sister? He never acknowledges Abby. Just wait, sooner or later, he’ll be dragged down by that village girl too."Seeing this, Abby responded at the perfect moment:"Amanda, it's normal that Sixth Brother doesn’t recognize me. I’m just the Cromwell family’s sponsored student, after all.""What do you mean just a sponsored student? Aunt Ruby almost lost her mind back then. If it weren’t for you, the Cromwell family would’ve been a mess. Now this village girl waltzes in, and suddenly, they want to pretend you don’t exist? Meanwhile, she’s ruining the hotel’s reputation.""Amanda, my father has always treated me well. He’s trying to fix things now. Let’s not talk about my sister anymore."Amanda Fisher, Rowan’s cousin, had grown up with Abby. They were schoolmates from differen

    "Let's handle the situation first. Get the press release ready."After saying this, Zane hung up the phone.Inside the hospital room, Abby gazed out at the corridor, her eyes filled with malice. Seeing a nurse enter, she quickly lay back down and opened her phone.Even though Barret and Rowan were no longer active in the circle, making things less lively than before, news of the hotel trending online had still been shared in the group chat. Someone tagged her:"Abby, isn't this your family's hotel?""Why would they use such a marketing tactic? If I hadn’t stayed there before, I might have believed it!""Who's the new person in charge? Tell Uncle Cromwell to fire them—this is humiliating."A smile tugged at the corners of Abby's lips, but she quickly masked it with a seemingly concerned response:"Don't say that. My sister just returned and doesn’t understand the market yet. Making small mistakes is normal."The group chat immediately became more active."Your sister? The one the Cromw

    Abby, ever understanding, said, “Sister only wanted the hotel to do better, which is why she came up with such a drastic plan. Dad, don’t blame her.” “She’s been put in charge of the hotel as soon as she came back. The old man is too impatient,” Zane said helplessly, shaking his head. “As her father, I won’t hold it against her, but there are many other shareholders in the hotel. If this situation keeps escalating, I’m really worried something will go wrong. Even though Cromwell’s investment is the largest, we still can’t ignore the voices of the shareholders.” As he spoke, his phone rang again. “See? It’s another call from someone who wants me to go back and take over the hotel.” Abby glanced at her father and said, “Dad, we can handle everything else, but public opinion has a time sensitivity. If we don’t address it now, it’ll only escalate, and by then, it will be much harder to calm down.” Zane knew this well. “I’m just worried about Amelia taking responsibility. She’ll probab

    Master Cloudwalker had never easily left his mountain before, mainly because the internet was so developed now, it was too easy to expose oneself. As for the sudden surge of attention, the Cromwell family’s PR department was completely baffled.What kind of unexpected fortune was this? They hadn't done anything, and yet they'd ended up trending online.To make things worse, the hotel alone had three spots in the trending topics. One of them was particularly explosive: **[Breaking News! I really won the lottery! The master’s words are true! Everyone, come stay at the hotel!](#)** Before this, the hotel’s rating had dropped to 4.3 stars.What’s worse, many people, especially those in business, had stopped choosing this long-established five-star hotel for meetings.There were even comments mentioning that the hotel’s staff was sarcastic and that guests often felt ill during their stay. Some said they had stayed at this hotel and started experiencing a streak of bad luck afterward,

    The Zen master’s eyes lit up. “Quick! Take me to him!”This young master must be the one he wanted to take as an apprentice!But…“Wait, it’s you?”In the hotel suite, the Zen master stared at Carl’s strikingly handsome face, utterly speechless. “Why aren’t you at the Jenkins family’s estate? What are you doing here at a hotel?”Amelia watched the scene with amusement.As expected, the gossip about the Jenkins family was mostly true.For example, the Jenkins family’s young master, who had such a precious life that even masters from Dragon Lake Mountain envied him.Carl coughed lightly, maintaining his refined posture and politeness. “Master Cloudwalker, long time no see. You’re as healthy as ever.”Master Cloudwalker scoffed and turned to Amelia. “Is this your young master? The one borrowing fortune from the Zen?”Amelia nodded.Master Cloudwalker chuckled twice. “He doesn’t need to borrow. He’s the Zen’s true son.”“Master.” Carl poured a cup of tea and handed it over. “You’ve misund
