My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 147 You Must Have Offended Someone!

"It was Zhen who invited him," Lei Tingjun replied. "He’s supposed to be a very famous Master!"

"No wonder." Yang Qi shook his head. "From the very first time I met Lei Zhen, I could tell he was arrogant and domineering—the type who easily offends people. And you, Mrs. Lei, are a snob with an incredibly strong need for control. The problem lies with the two of you!"

"Don’t you dare spout such nonsense! Zhen hasn’t even woken up yet. Slandering him like this is outrageous!" Mrs. Lei cried out. "He’s in this state; would he harm himself? Would I harm my own family?"

Lei Tingjun was also taken aback. Lei Qingtian and Lei Yingying, however, remained silent. They knew Yang Qi would explain.

"There’s a type of harm in this world that stems from ignorance," Yang Qi said. "Perhaps your actions weren’t intentionally malicious. But judging by your attitude toward me, I doubt you treated that Master very well. Did you do something to him? Something that would make him hold a grudge?"

Mrs. Lei stammered, rendered speechless.

"Are you still trying to hide things at a time like this?" Lei Tingjun said angrily. "The safety of our entire family is at stake!"

Only then did Mrs. Lei lower her head. "We didn’t do much... Zhen just saw that old man putting on airs, so he slapped him. I cursed at him a few times, too. Surely he wouldn’t try to harm our entire family over something like that, would he?"

"You’re still not telling the truth!" Yang Qi shook his head. "It was definitely more than that."

"Tell the truth!" Lei Tingjun roared.

Mrs. Lei burst into tears. "That old man cursed our whole family! He claimed there was something wrong with our Feng Shui and said we would all die unnatural deaths unless we paid him more. Zhen couldn’t take it, so he had some people beat the man up. That’s the truth!"

"Haha, so you really do value money more than your own lives," Yang Qi said with a cold laugh. "No wonder he wants to harm you. If I were him, I’d do the same!"

"You...! You wretched woman, you’ll be the death of me!" Lei Tingjun raised his hand as if to strike Mrs. Lei.

In the end, though, he restrained himself. Mrs. Lei’s father had once done their family a great kindness, so he had always forgiven her, no matter what she did. But this time, she had gone too far. Her actions had nearly wiped out their entire family. They were lucky Yang Qi was there; otherwise, there’s no telling what might have happened.

"I’ll find someone to teach that so-called Master a lesson! How dare he harm us? I’ll make sure he dies a miserable death!" Mrs. Lei snarled.

"Enough!" Lei Tingjun yelled. "Can you please just give me some peace?"

Mrs. Lei snapped her mouth shut, not daring to say another word. She was terrified that Lei Tingjun, in a fit of rage, would drive her out of the Lei Family, leaving her completely destitute.

"Zhen is young and acted foolishly, but you can’t afford to be foolish as well. You had the man beaten, and you still expect him to treat you kindly? Think about it. If you don’t change that personality of yours, you really will be the death of this entire family!" Lei Tingjun sighed, ultimately unable to bring himself to cast her out.

At that moment, Lei Qingtian turned to Yang Qi. "Mr. Yang, you must help us. Money is no object!"

"Money isn’t necessary. I might have a small favor to ask of you later, though. I’ll tell you what it is after this is all over," Yang Qi said.

"That’s wonderful! Truly wonderful!"

The members of the Lei Family all breathed a collective sigh of relief. They had already witnessed Yang Qi’s abilities and knew he was far more formidable than they had imagined. As long as they treated him with respect, the Lei Family’s future would surely be prosperous.

Soon, the car arrived at the Lei Mansion.

Yang Qi alighted at the entrance and began to walk the perimeter of the estate. He released his Spiritual Power, carefully sensing his surroundings. He wasn’t a regular Feng Shui Master. He was a Cultivator. His ability to perceive this kind of malevolent energy was far stronger.

The members of the Lei Family followed respectfully behind, not daring to make a sound to disturb him.

After walking for more than an hour, Yang Qi suddenly stopped beside a tree in the courtyard. It was a small money tree, planted for its auspicious meaning of attracting wealth and prosperity. But in Yang Qi’s eyes, this tree had become the root of their misfortune.

"It’s here," Yang Qi announced. "Dig up this money tree."

"Understood!" Lei Tingjun called some men over, and they began to dig.

A few moments later, the tree was uprooted, but the men who dug it out cried out in alarm. Everyone rushed to look. Buried beneath the roots was a pottery jar.

Inside the jar were several white bones. No wonder the men were frightened.

"Step aside," Yang Qi said, stepping forward to retrieve the jar.

The pottery jar should have been sealed, but the tree’s roots had pierced through, breaking the seal. Peering inside, they could faintly make out its contents: small white bones and clumps of hair.

"Wh-what is that?" Mrs. Lei asked, her voice trembling with terror.

"Don’t worry. The contents are likely the remains of some animal. Judging by the size, I’d say it’s three puppies," Yang Qi deduced.

"Three puppies?" the others echoed, stunned.

"There’s an old folk tale that says dogs become guardian beasts of the Underworld after they die," Yang Qi explained. "This pottery jar represents the Underworld, and the three puppies’ corpses represent its guardian beasts. Once the seal was broken, malevolent energy would begin to spread. It would be strange if your family wasn’t having problems."

He sighed. "This is a vicious trick. I suspect the jar originally contained blood as well—specifically, blood from a pig that had died of plague. That would guarantee your family would suffer from constant misfortune. But something about this is strange."

"Strange?" Lei Tingjun asked. "What’s strange?"

"Although this setup would certainly bring your family misfortune, it’s not potent enough to cause a catastrophe like the one that befell Lei Zhen, nearly costing him his life," Yang Qi said, shaking his head.

"Are you saying there’s still something else wrong with the house?"

The family grew tense once more.

"Correct. Even though we’ve removed this object, the malevolent aura hanging over the Lei Mansion hasn’t dissipated. That means there’s another problem," Yang Qi confirmed. "Prefecture Master Lei, it seems you’ve offended someone truly ruthless. The Master who buried this jar initially intended to help you—that’s why he asked for more money, to save your entire family. Unfortunately, Mrs. Lei and your grandson ruined everything. Not only did they refuse, but they also had him beaten. In a fit of vengeful anger, he used this jar to conceal the house’s real problem."

Mrs. Lei’s heart pounded with terror. He was trying to save us, and I had him beaten? No wonder he’s so furious. What I did was unforgivable.

"But even so, didn’t that Master go too far?" Lei Yingying frowned. "He was trying to kill our entire family, wasn’t he?"

"That’s because your mother still isn’t telling the whole truth," Yang Qi sneered. "What she and her son did to that Master was far more cruel than what she’s admitted."

"What did you do?!" Lei Tingjun finally exploded. "If you don’t tell the truth right now, get out of this family!"

"I... I—!" Terrified, Mrs. Lei finally began to tell the truth.
