"… This is all the information we have on Li Xiao."
Mr. Ren said to the young-looking Taoist in front of him. His tone was respectful, which was rare.
The Taoist in front of him looked like a good girl. His skin was so pale that it was as if there was no blood in it. You could even see the light blue veins on his skin. Suddenly, he clenched his hands into fists and coughed violently. He coughed violently as if he was going to cough out all his internal organs. After coughing for a while, his originally excessively white face had an unhealthy red flush.
He took the few pages of paper and read them slowly. There was a faint smile on his face, which made him look like a strategist.
"So the Zeng Lünian was killed by her. It seems like she has some skills." The Taoist sighed. "This little girl has been practicing Taoism for less than a year? Are you sure? "
He had seen many geniuses, but none of them were able to do this.
Mr. Ren hesitated for a moment and said, "At least before this, she didn't show any signs of abnormality until she went with Chan Ka-yin to audition for a TV series in the summer. At that time, she caught the eye of the director because of her excellent Qinggong." When he mentioned Chan Ka-yin, there was a hint of disgust in his voice. This woman had ruined his most beloved grandson, Ren Yintang, since childhood. As for Li Xiao, the reason why he wanted to deal with her was because she had embarrassed the Ren family. On the other hand, he was afraid of Li Xiao's abilities. He was afraid that Li Xiao would come to deal with the Ren family for revenge. For the future of the Ren family, he had to prepare for a rainy day and strike first.
The smile on the Taoist's face deepened. "No matter when she started learning Taoism, the fact that she was able to kill a Zeng Lünian one-on-one at such a young age shows that she is very talented."
Mr. Ren didn't say anything. He knew this, or else he wouldn't have invited this powerful person here. Previously, when he had been looking for someone to help him, the moment the other party heard that it was Li Xiao, who could deal with the Zeng Lünian, they had immediately retreated. There was no room for discussion. He still remembered that his grandfather had once mentioned to him that Shen Ming, the Taoist Master, was not an ordinary person. That was why he used the contact method passed down by his ancestors to find him. It was also because he had some ties with the Ren Clan. Otherwise, the other party might not have been willing to help him.
He lowered his gaze. In his great-grandfather's era, Shen Ming had the image of a young and weak man. So many years had passed, but his appearance had not changed at all. He was exactly the same as in the photo, as if time had stopped on him. However, no matter how much he coveted the other party's secret of immortality, he did not dare to offend such an unfathomable person.
Shen Ming said lightly, "I'll go and see this little girl first."
Mr. Ren said solemnly, "I'll leave it to you then."
Shen Ming pondered for a moment. "If we really want to deal with her, I'll need her birth characters. It would be even better if we have her blood, flesh, and hair."
Mr. Ren frowned slightly. He really didn't know about this. To be honest, rich people like them usually kept their birth characters very well. When the child was born, they would even release a secret. They wouldn't let the public know the real birth characters, so that their opponents wouldn't make a fuss about it. The Li Clan was the same. At most, they would only know the specific birth date.
However, there was one person who would definitely know. As a father, Lê Nam Giệu couldn't not know his child's birth characters.
He said, "When the time comes, we can ask her father, but we'll need a reasonable excuse."
Shen Ming smiled. "That's not difficult."
There was a hint of joy in his tone. He hoped that Li Xiao could bring him more surprises. After all, his body couldn't take it anymore.
*****
Li Xiao was shopping with Jiang Tiantian. This rich lady had to attend an elder's birthday banquet next month, so she was choosing a gift now.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and turned her head, looking not far away.
Jiang Tiantian tilted his head in confusion. "What's wrong?"
Li Xiao frowned slightly. "I just felt a sense of malice."
If it was a normal person's malice towards her, it would be like ants towards humans. Li Xiao might not have been able to sense it. If her intuition could warn her, it meant that the other party did have the ability to hurt her.
However, when she turned her head, the malice disappeared in a flash. It was as if she was just making a fuss about nothing.
Jiang Tiantian didn't rush her. Instead, he stood there with Li Xiao.
Li Xiao said, "Let's go. Let's continue shopping."
The other party might have already left.
If they really came for her, then she wouldn't be afraid!
Shen Ming leaned against the wall, his body trembling slightly. However, it wasn't because he was afraid, but because he was excited.
When he heard Ren Jiahong talk about Li Xiao, he didn't believe it. However, when he saw Li Xiao in person, he realized that Li Xiao was even more powerful than what was described in the information.
He hadn't seen such a powerful soul for many years. She was like a scorching sun that attracted his eyes. When other people were around her, they were as small and dim as the light of a firefly. A person with such a powerful soul must have great talent in cultivation. It was no wonder that Zeng Lünian died at her hands. After all, he was facing a genius that might not appear even once in a hundred years.
However, this young lady's intuition was really sharp. He only glanced at her, but she noticed it. If he didn't dodge quickly, he would have been discovered by her.
This was really fate's arrangement. He was lucky enough to meet her when he needed her the most.
He really wanted her …
Greed flashed in his eyes. This desire burned him like a raging fire, causing his expression to unconsciously twist.
"Cough, cough, cough …" Once he was excited, his body couldn't take it anymore.
After coughing, he took a deep breath, calmed his fast heartbeat, and left.
*****
Shen Ming stood in front of the Li Clan's house with his hands behind his back. Even though it was winter, he still wore a thin Daoist robe. When the cold wind blew, it made him look even more sage-like, as if he could become an immortal at any time. This disguise was very confusing.
He looked at the house and frowned slightly. After a while, he sighed softly. His voice was very soft, but there was an indescribable magic in it. It clearly fell into the ears of others.
"Daoist priest, what's the matter?"
The guard stared at him for a while, and finally couldn't take it anymore and asked.
Shen Ming pointed to a room on the second floor. "I accidentally passed by here and found that there was a demon aura circling the house, so I stopped to look."
The guard saw where he was pointing. It was Eldest Miss Li Xiao's old room. He twitched the corner of his mouth. "Go, go, go. You're lying to us. Do you think we're fools?"
Shen Ming looked at his face and said calmly, "Judging from your face, you must have received a windfall yesterday."
The guard's heart thumped. He was right. Yesterday, Miss Lin's aunt gave him a sum of money and asked him some questions about the Li Clan. He didn't expect this Daoist priest to be so accurate.
Shen Ming continued to say a few more things, which were only known to the guard himself, making him even more convinced.
The guard couldn't help but stare at him. So, what he said about the demon aura in the Li Clan was true? No wonder the Li Clan had been going downhill these few months. Maybe it was because of this.
If he could help even a little bit, Mr. Li might even raise his salary for the sake of this contribution. Thinking of this, the guard looked at him with more eagerness. "Please wait here. I'll talk to the Old Madame." The teacher was still in the company. Only the Old Madame was at home. But the Old Madame always believed in this kind of thing.
Shen Ming smiled.
Lê Nam Giệu was called back by his mother's serial phone calls. His mother's instructions over the phone were unclear, and he was confused.
As he approached the hall, he heard his mother's exclamation.
"Yes, that's it. Master, you're right."
"There are so many taboos in this."
Lê Nam Giệu frowned. His mother couldn't have been tricked by some charlatan, could she? Even he had to admit that his mother was very gullible. She was easily tricked.
He stepped into the hall and saw a young man sitting on the sofa with a faint smile on his face. When he looked over, Lê Nam Giệu felt like he was being seen through. It was as if he was standing naked under the sun.
"Mom, who's this?"
The Qu Lian hurriedly introduced, "This is Master Shen. He passed by our house and said there was a demon aura in our house."
Lê Nam Giệu was speechless. This sounded like a common trick used by charlatans. Although he now believed in ghosts and gods, demons were a different story.
Shen Ming was still smiling. "When you were eight years old, you had a younger brother. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and died at a young age."
Lê Nam Giệu subconsciously looked at his mother. His mother's Qu Lian face also turned pale. She shook her head at him, indicating that she didn't say anything. This was a secret hidden in the hearts of the mother and son. At that time, Lê Nam Giệu's father had a mistress outside. The mistress gave birth to a son for him. His father doted on the illegitimate son who looked like him. Later, the child died. His mother, the Qu Lian, began to abstain from meat and pray all year round. Lê Nam Giệu didn't know what his mother had done, but he could vaguely guess.
Shen Ming continued, "Your father-in-law …"
Lê Nam Giệu raised his voice and interrupted him. "Master, you said there was a demon aura in our house. Is there an evil spirit causing trouble?"
From the change in his tone, it was obvious that he trusted Master Shen. He didn't want Master Shen to reveal more secrets. A thought unconsciously appeared in his mind. Was the so-called evil spirit Chien Fei?
Shen Ming said, "I'll go upstairs and take a look."
Lê Nam Giệu personally led him upstairs. He was about to open the lock in front of Chien Fei's door when he saw Master Shen pass by Li Qianfei's room and walk to Li Xiao's door. "Open this door."
Lê Nam Giệu and the Qu Lian were both stunned. The Qu Lian even said in shock, "This is my eldest granddaughter's room."
"Yes, the demon aura is the strongest here."
Lê Nam Giệu was silent for a while, but still asked someone to open the door. Shen Ming lifted his foot and walked in. Many things in the room had been taken away. Only the furniture was left. It seemed empty and lifeless.
Lê Nam Giệu asked, "Are you sure it's here?"
Shen Ming nodded and showed a compassionate expression. "Actually, it's not an accident that I passed by your house. I first saw a picture of your eldest daughter on the Internet. There was an evil spirit flowing between her eyebrows. She was different from ordinary people. I had some doubts, so I came to take a look. It was just as I expected. "
He sighed softly. "Fortunately, it didn't cause a disaster."
Lê Nam Giệu's heart was in a mess. "That's impossible. My daughter can't be a demon." Even if he didn't get along with Li Xiao, he had watched Li Xiao grow up. When she was just born, he often held her.
Shen Ming said, "I didn't say that your daughter is a demon, but it's very likely that your daughter's body has been taken over by a demon."
Lê Nam Giệu's lips opened and closed, but he couldn't say a word.
Shen Ming continued, "Do you feel that her temperament has changed greatly in the past few years? That she suddenly has many secrets that you don't understand? Do you feel that she's alienated from you? "
These questions fell into Lê Nam Giệu's heart, making him more and more shaken.
Lê Nam Giệu thought back to the events of the past few months. Lê Hảo suddenly became very powerful. He could even draw talismans to drive away ghosts. Her attitude towards him became more and more indifferent, as if she no longer had any father-daughter feelings towards him. If she really had been taken over by a demon, then there was a reason for all the abnormalities.
Once he accepted this, he felt that his mood had unconsciously relaxed a lot. It turned out that Li Xiao had changed, and it had nothing to do with him.
Shen Ming looked at the expression on his face, and his smile remained. It was normal for a young girl's temperament to change after her family had experienced a major change. But humans would rather look for reasons from others than admit their own mistakes. Therefore, he could easily incite Lê Nam Giệu with just a few words. But in his heart, he hoped for this reason more.
"You're right. She has changed a lot. She doesn't seem like my original daughter anymore. If she's really been taken over by a demon, then I'll ask the great master to subdue the demon and bring my original daughter back. "
The fish had taken the bait.
