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

    Subconsciously, Amelia glanced at her phone—it was exactly 9 PM.Normally, Earth Binding Spirits wouldn’t appear at this time.Amelia looked out the window, narrowing her eyes. Her voice wasn’t as casual as before: “Oh, then you should develop it.”Rowan: … Develop what?!Carl, sipping his tea, raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “What are you asking him to develop?”“His Dark physique. In theory, it’s very suitable for becoming a spiritual guide,” Amelia explained, then looked at the still confused Rowan. “In movies, they call it the guide of the impermanent—you guide the spirits who are supposed to leave the human world to their rightful place. You’re paid by the underworld. Got it?”Rowan turned pale. “I get it, but Amelia, I don’t think I have the courage for that job. It sounds way too dangerous.”“True. I’ve heard that if you’re not careful, you can lose your soul,” Amelia said seriously. “But I’ve never seen it myself.”Rowan stared at her. You’ve never seen it, but why does it sound

    The delivery man seemed caught off guard by the abrupt attitude of the person who opened the door. His expression froze instantly.He forgot the words he was going to say, holding the plastic bag in his hand, staring at Amelia, trying to intimidate her.Amelia glanced over his sharp, high cheekbones and the hostile expression he struggled to conceal. Despite his attempts to appear professional, his sinister face couldn’t be hidden.“I’ll be more careful next time,” the delivery man muttered, raising his hand. “Milk tea, ordered by Mr. Alan.”“There’s no Mr. Alan here,” Amelia said indifferently, eyeing him. “Want to come in and take a look?”It seemed like that was exactly what the delivery man had been waiting for. His wet shoes stepped inside the door.He lowered his head, his eyes darkening. “I want to know why you always leave bad reviews for me. Do you have any idea how much money I’ve lost because of those reviews?”“You rich people think we don’t matter!”“Don’t think that just

    Back at the hotel, the delivery man tried to flee, but he was cornered by Amelia against the window.Seeing this, he looked pitifully at her. “Master, please let me go. I’m just a delivery guy. I’ve never harmed anyone.”“Are you sure about that?” Amelia asked as she moved closer to him. “The first sign of supernatural phenomena is disruption of communication.”She opened her phone and scrolled through the app. “I don’t usually use this app, but it just pushed an article from seven years ago. It says a girl kept giving a delivery man bad reviews, and he finally snapped, pushing her to the ground. This resulted in an irreversible tragedy.”“The news came out later, revealing that the delivery man came from a poor background. People sympathized with him because he seemed mentally unstable. The girl, however, lived in a high-end neighborhood and often argued with people. Neighbors said she had a bad temper.”“Especially during that time, she had a conflict with a little child.”“Everyone

    The delivery man's pores stood on end!His eyes flickered rapidly, filled with terror!In the Earth Binding Formation, the bound spirits could endlessly be revived, and magical tools couldn’t eliminate them.But if Chaos was present in this formation, it would be a whole different story.Ancient fierce beasts didn’t care about formations. With a single bite, they could devour all the bound spirits!Why was Chaos appearing here?It shouldn’t be in this place!Even the ancient books stated that Chaos and other fierce beasts died long ago in the Great Catastrophe, buried beneath thousands of feet of ice in the snow-capped mountains.After all, the Heaven didn’t allow such creatures to exist. There was no cycle of life and death for them.But what was this he was seeing now?The delivery man’s hands began to tremble. If he weren’t in his current form, he might not have sensed the aura of Chaos.It was hidden too well, the figure in front of him looked almost like an ordinary child, even m

    Suddenly, Amelia smiled at him.“You don’t really think I just recited that message to you for no reason, do you?”The delivery man froze. He seemed to have realized something, and his body jerked as he tried to retreat.But Amelia didn’t give him the chance. “Even though it’s the same kind of Earth Binding Spirit, inside the Earth Binding Formation, the formation’s master is someone that no bound spirit dares to mention.”“Because once you anger the formation’s master, the consequences are unimaginable.”“But here you are, so bold. That means you’re not afraid of the formation’s master.”“Because you know, as long as you’re in this place, she won’t appear.”Amelia didn’t give him a chance to retreat, continuing, “You killed someone but faced no punishment. Instead, the dead girl was talked about for years. To this day, you’re still using your identity to gain sympathy.”“The Earth Binding Formation can trap many spirits—not just dead ones, but living ones, the wrongfully dead, and ev

    Rowan glanced around, confused, not quite understanding what was going on.Then, from the corner of the room, a voice—soft, almost a whisper—suddenly said, “Thank you.”It was a girl’s voice, gentle and low, as though spoken right next to his ear.Rowan felt a chill run down his spine and immediately ducked behind Amelia!Carl shot him a glance, his eyes full of disdain and coldness.At this point, Rowan didn’t care about offending anyone. He was scared—what if there was more danger? “Amelia, what’s going on?”Amelia ignored him, her eyes instead fixed on the television in the living room.On the screen, the delivery man’s face was panic-stricken as he moved the girl. While bending down, the keys fell out of his pocket.Amelia noticed the moment and turned her gaze back to the empty space. Her voice was calm: “You’ve taken your revenge, now it’s time to release the resentment. This formation requires you to willingly let go.”In response, the cup on the table shook and the images on t

    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
