My gaze swept over the wall of figurines. Aside from being stunned by the collection, all I could think of was the wealth behind it.
But how could anyone living here possibly lack money?
Master only glanced at it once before losing interest.
Instead, he looked over the displays and furnishings inside the house and nodded slightly.
"Not bad. Whether it's the orientation and design of this house or the arrangement of its furniture, it all incorporates the principles of the Five Elements.
East is wood, west is metal, south is fire, north is water. It can..."
After Master said that, I gave the entire house a once-over.
The villa faced south with its back to the north, backed against a rocky hill, with a waterscape before it.
It was filled with large carp, gathering vital energy.
On the villa's south side was a fireplace—fire.
Fire invigorated people, endeavors, and the household.
To the west stood this entire wall of figurines, along with gold and silver decorations and several trophies.
Metal often represented one's character.
Its emotion was sorrow, and among the five organs, it corresponded to the lungs.
Placing a wall of figurines here transformed sorrow into joy.
The east belonged to wood: the large floor-to-ceiling windows directly ahead, with several rare species of trees outside.
The center belonged to earth. It was completely empty, with only a huge chandelier hanging overhead.
Heaven was round, earth was square, stabilizing the center.
The interior of this villa did indeed follow a Five Elements design.
It seemed this designer had some skill and had taken things like the Five Elements into consideration.
Hearing Master say this, the middle-aged woman smiled.
"Taoist Song, you know that our Xiao Shuang is an entertainer.
She sought better fortune for the sake of her career.
