After being kicked out of the wealthy family, her ancestor shocked the world

Si Nan skillfully threw his study materials on the desk, sat down on the sofa, put his feet in slippers on the stool, and half-lying down began to browse his phone.

Chu Peining held a pair of scissors in her hand and was already accustomed to his attitude.

“We don’t have any influence.”

After many tests, Si Nan has confirmed her status as a genius student.

Not to mention the top ten, he dared to guarantee that as long as Chu Peining gave his all, the result would definitely shock the entire Jing'an, and even the entire Haicheng!

Si Nan raised his eyes and noticed the red paper on her desk. He asked in confusion: "What are you doing? Are you planning to participate in a paper-cutting competition?"

Paper cutting is a Chinese folk art and an intangible cultural heritage of humanity, so it is naturally included in the talent show held by the school, but not many students sign up.

Most parents hope that their students will learn elegant hobbies such as piano and dance to cultivate their temperament.

Except for folk craftsmen, this skill is learned by self-study out of interest and is not studied systematically.

This made Si Nan, a foreigner, confused.

Why is it that although China has such a profound history and culture, most Chinese people are keen on Western skills?

"Didn't you sign up for oil painting? Why are you doing paper cutting now?"

This reminded Si Nan, and he asked, "Have you prepared your entry? The registration will close next Friday."

Thinking about Chu Peining's poor condition a few days ago and that she couldn't wake up after a sleep, he comforted her: "Don't feel burdened. Just take the paintbrush and flick it on the canvas. You will be eliminated anyway."

Chu Peining listened quietly, cut out five little figures on the red paper with the scissors in her hand, picked up the cinnabar pen borrowed from Xi Luobai, and drew something on it.

She replied calmly: "It's already been finished, it's in the studio."

"Just finish it. Remind me next Friday and I'll take your painting directly to the art department office."

When the time comes, just tell the teacher there and ask them to remove Chu Peining.

The junior sister has already suffered so much criticism. If the students saw this, I don’t know how she would be laughed at.

Si Nan glanced over there inadvertently and saw the cinnabar pen in her hand. He vaguely remembered seeing Ji Qingzhi using it before, and it was said that it had the effect of warding off evil spirits.

He didn't quite understand, and only understood after Ji Qingzhi explained that it was to drive away the devil Satan.

Chu Peining's condition these days does seem like she's been possessed by an evil spirit.

Si Nan put down his legs, walked over, stood behind her and watched quietly.

"That wizard told you to do that?"

Chu Peining corrected: "It's a Feng Shui master."

"Yes, Feng Shui master." Si Nan couldn't remember the word for a moment, and asked her curiously: "What are you doing?"

After drawing the last circle of runes, Chu Peining put down his pen, raised his head and looked at him sideways: "Want to see the mysterious oriental magic?"

Si Nan was shocked and asked in disbelief: "You can cast magic?!"

As a student of Yuefu music, he did not think this was absurd, but was just surprised that Chu Peining could do it.

Chu Peining nodded without explaining. He just made seals with his hands and muttered some spells.

The little paper figure on the table vibrated as if it had received her call.

As the hand seal spell ended, the piece of paper lying flat on the table suddenly stood up, walked around on the table, with its mouth grinning and eyes blinking, very lifelike, like a little doll that was full of curiosity about the world, walking around on the table.

Si Nan exclaimed and took a half step back: "I thought these were movie special effects, I didn't expect China really has them!"

As he spoke, the little paper figures suddenly flew up, held hands, formed a circle, faced Si Nan, and slowly rotated in the air.

Si Nan did not show any fear. Instead, he reached out his hand and touched it curiously. The touch was no different from ordinary paper, but the little figures had rich expressions and were as vivid as real people.

"It is indeed a movie special effect." Chu Peining explained, "In China, this technology only exists in people's imagination."

"Then how come you did that?" Si Nan asked.

Chu Peining: "All high-level Feng Shui techniques are like this."

She was also taught by the Xi family's ancestor.

She was just interested in the art of Feng Shui, not the founder.

She gave the ancestor of the Xi family some advice, making him the best Feng Shui expert in ancient and modern times, and helped him overcome a disaster. That's why she was respected as the ancestor by later generations of the Xi family.

However, the title of "the greatest person of all time" will soon be passed on to someone else.

Si Nan asked: "Did Xi Luobai teach you?"

Chu Peining nodded silently, and without blushing or beating her heart, she pulled Xi Luobai to be a shield.

Si Nan rubbed his hands, eager to try: "If I go to become his disciple now, can he teach me this thing as well?"

Chu Peining pondered for a while and said tactfully: "The art of Feng Shui is boring and difficult to understand. Most people are only at the beginner level. Studying higher-level techniques requires talent."

Si Nan raised his head confidently, "I think I'm very talented!"

The Chinese martial arts have been passed down from generation to generation. He has such a high talent for Yuefu music, so how bad can his Feng Shui be?

Chu Peining: “…”

You didn't hear the first half of my sentence at all.

Just as he was about to open his mouth again to remind Si Nan, he had already rushed out of the room and disappeared before he knew it.

Chu Peining didn't plan to stop him. With Si Nan's personality, it wouldn't take him long to learn anyway. How could Xi Luobai teach him?

Si Nan knocked on Xi Luobai's door, took a step back and looked at him warily, and asked cautiously: "Is there anything in your room that you shouldn't touch, or any curse?"

Xi Luobai smiled lightly, "No, do you have something to talk to me about?"

It's a rare thing for Si Nan to come here.

He always thought of himself as a wizard who could cast curses, and could only sit at the same table with Mo Peiyun to eat when he was around. At other times, he would try to avoid him.

Si Nan glanced inside cautiously. Seeing that it was no different from other rooms and there were no yellow paper runes or anything like that, he became bolder.

He took a step forward, only half an inch away from Xi Luobai, but he didn't feel awkward at all.

A pair of crescent-shaped smiling eyes looked at him intently, with anticipation overflowing in them, as if there were twinkling stars.

"Will you accept me as your apprentice?"

"Ah?" Xi Luobai was stunned for a moment and took a half step back uncomfortably.

Looking at the man who was afraid that I cursed him just now, but now had the courage to become my disciple, I felt confused.

Si Nan nodded repeatedly: "My junior sister said you taught her how to make the paper figurines come alive, I want to learn it too!"

"Little paper man?" This was the first time Xi Luobai heard of this.

However, thinking of the warning given by my great-grandfather before he passed away, since Chu Peining has a close relationship with the family fortune, it is not surprising that he knows Feng Shui.

But no one would have thought that she, a little girl deprived of luck and with a weak body, could master such a high-level technique as paper figurine.

Si Nan pressed on: "Can you teach me?"
