Shen Ming wasn't surprised when he heard what he had expected.
In his long life, in order to maintain his weakened soul, he had sought out powerful souls to nourish himself. When he found his prey, he would usually approach the other party's family. Using various reasons such as being possessed or being possessed, he made their families willingly become his accomplices and help him trap those people. Even after he took away their souls, they were grateful to him and thanked him for helping them get rid of the evil.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "What if your daughter's soul is gone, or even eaten by the demon?"
Li Nanjue staggered, and all kinds of vivid expressions of Li Xiao unconsciously appeared in his mind. Some of them were arrogant with their heads held high, some of them were stubborn when they were misunderstood by him, but most of them were cold expressions that often appeared in the past two years. All the images shattered into countless fragments, and finally stopped at Li Xiao as a child, attending the banquet with him for the first time. She was obviously very nervous and kept pulling his sleeve, but her small face still tried to put on an indifferent expression.
Qu Lian didn't care so much and asked repeatedly, "If she's here, will it affect our family? Will it harm us? I saw on TV that some demons eat people. "
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder. She couldn't wait for Master Shen to quickly destroy the demon that had taken over Li Xiao's body.
She muttered in her heart, "No wonder. No wonder Li Xiao didn't know anything before, but now he suddenly became so powerful and could make evil spirits come to scare us and make me have nightmares. This should be the demon's magic." Thinking of this, she gnashed her teeth in hatred.
Shen Ming said, "Demons, no matter how much they look like humans, are completely different species. If humans stay with demons for a long time, they will be hurt by the demon's aura sooner or later. It's also possible that their luck will weaken. I see that your family has been suffering a lot recently, more or less because of this." He could more or less see that the Li Clan's fortune was brought about by the backlash, which was why they were so aggressive. Even he couldn't help them change their fortune in a short period of time. Unless the Li Clan had the courage to spend all their wealth and accumulate merit, then it was still possible. Besides, even if he had the ability, he wouldn't spend so much effort to help them. Of course, Shen Ming wouldn't tell them the truth.
The only thing he wanted was for Li Xiao's father to stand on his side so that it would be easier for him to scheme against Li Xiao. He quietly looked at Lê Nam Giệu, who had a conflicted expression on his face, and did not rush him.
Qu Lian nudged Lê Nam Giệu. "Nan Jue, say something."
Lê Nam Giệu asked, "If the evildoer is eliminated, what will happen to my daughter?"
Shen Ming had already thought of an excuse before he came to the Li Clan. If the soul was stolen, the body would naturally die and gradually decay. However, if it was Li Xiao, he could leave her body behind and refine it into a powerful puppet.
"Her real soul has been swallowed by the evildoer long ago. Even I can't do anything about it. The only thing we can do is to avenge her and prevent the evildoer from using her body to run amok. If your real daughter knew what she did, she wouldn't be able to rest easy in the underworld. "
Qu Lian was delighted. If she died, then he wouldn't have to worry about being threatened or hurt by her. The money in Li Xiao's hands would naturally belong to them. It just so happened that the company was short of money, and this money could make up for the company's loopholes. Although Qu Lian had a lot of assets, he had recently taken out a lot to help his son. In addition, he had to give those women houses and money. No matter how rich he was, he didn't have any extra food. She had been eyeing Li Xiao's money for a long time, but because of Li Xiao's ability, she was afraid of offending her and didn't dare to act rashly. Now, all of this came without any effort.
Lê Nam Giệu took a deep breath. He had already made a decision.
"What can I do?"
Shen Ming still had that compassionate expression. "I need her real birth date and eight characters. I also need your blood."
Li Xiao was too sharp. He couldn't get close to her. He could only settle for the next best thing. He chose the blood of her family to establish a connection with her.
Lê Nam Giệu nodded. "I understand."
Yes, he did this for Li Xiao's good. It was to prevent the evildoer from using her body to run amok.
His expression was sorrowful, but also relieved.
Great. It turned out that the person who hated him so much wasn't Li Xiao herself.
Shen Ming got Li Xiao's birth date and eight characters from Lê Nam Giệu, then carefully collected his blood. He had already completed more than half of the things he needed for the ritual. Next, he only needed to lay down the formation and take the initiative to let Li Xiao enter the formation. He had already chosen the location long ago. It was Xianyuan Mountain.
Xianyuan Mountain was once the territory of a tiger demon. That tiger demon had swallowed many animals and humans, creating starved ghosts. As a result, the miasma in the area was very thick. Although the tiger demon was later eliminated, the miasma still existed. The area was also desolate and uninhabited. The miasma could confuse people's minds. It was perfect for his Nine-Turn Soul Seizing Formation to bring out the best effect. After all, his opponent was Li Xiao, who could kill the Zeng Lünian on her own. Therefore, he couldn't be too careful.
His originally calm expression became more serious. "In order to better deal with that evildoer, I will make some preparations in advance. When the time comes, you just need to lure her to Xianyuan Mountain."
Lê Nam Giệu stared blankly. "Without a reasonable excuse, it will be very difficult to do that."
The Qu Lian patted his head and said, "I got it. Just say that you were kidnapped. The kidnapper is over there. Let her go save you. Isn't she very capable? "
When Lê Nam Giệu heard this, he felt a subtle discomfort in his heart. So he had to use that demon's kindness to deceive her into walking down the path of no return?
Shen Ming caught a glimpse of the struggle on his face and said faintly, "Don't forget about your real daughter." He lowered his eyes slightly and didn't say anything further.
Lê Nam Giệu nodded vigorously. "I know."
That's right. How could he be soft-hearted towards the evildoer who killed his daughter?
*****
Li Xiao closed her eyes and rubbed her temples. She didn't know why, but when she was cultivating today, she felt uneasy. Her efficiency was very low.
She walked out of the room and returned to the hall. Her phone was placed on the table. Normally, when she was cultivating, she wouldn't keep her phone by her side so that it wouldn't disturb her cultivation. She swiped her fingerprint and opened the page. She saw several missed calls from the Qu Lian.
As soon as the call connected, the Qu Lian was crying and wailing on the other end.
"Xiao Xiao, something happened to your dad! He was kidnapped! Hurry up and save him! "
Li Xiao's expression was a little strange. "Kidnapped? Are you sure? When I saw him a while ago, I didn't see that he was in trouble. "
The crying on the other end of the line paused. The Qu Lian's voice sounded again. "It's true. Why would I lie to you? The kidnapper has already sent a letter saying that if you don't give us ten billion, they'll kill the hostage. Tell me, where do you think our family is going to get ten billion? "
Li Xiao felt that this whole thing was strange. No matter how good she was at fortune-telling, she couldn't have been wrong. Moreover, ten billion was a bit too much to ask for.
Previously, she was too lazy to waste time on the Li Clan. The ghosts who were originally watching the Li Clan had all been withdrawn. Now, she had no way of knowing whether this was true or not.
She pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go and take a look."
When the time came, she would help calculate the location of the kidnapper. It could also be considered as ending this karma.
Li Xiao wasn't a procrastinator. She quickly took the car back to the house and successfully met the Qu Lian.
The Qu Lian's eyes were swollen. As soon as she saw her, she grabbed her hand and cried.
Li Xiao frowned slightly. She looked at the Qu Lian's face. She didn't lose money at all. The color of the Children's Palace was even brighter. This meant that Lê Nam Giệu was fine. She looked at the Qu Lian. Although she was crying, there was no sadness in her eyes.
It's fake! It's all fake!
What gave her the confidence to deceive a master of metaphysics?
Her face darkened slightly. What was the other party planning to do by making such a big fuss? Was it to cheat her of her money?
She said calmly, "Let me take a look at the kidnapping letter."
The Qu Lian immediately handed it to her.
Li Xiao lowered her head and looked carefully. The letter was written on the most common rice paper in the market. It was written in Song script.
It said that if ten billion was not sent to Xianyuan Mountain by December 12th, they would send Lê Nam Giệu's finger as a gift.
Li Xiao took Lê Nam Giệu's clothes and asked the Qu Lian, "Tell me his birth characters. I'll calculate his situation."
Xianyuan Mountain? She had never been there and didn't have any impression of it.
The Qu Lian looked hesitant. She stammered, "I don't remember. It's been decades. I'm old and a bit muddle-headed. I'll go look for it. It's probably in my hometown." How could she give her son's birth characters to this evildoer? What if she used it against her son? Besides, if she really calculated the truth, they would be in trouble. Her hands trembled as she thought of this.
Li Xiao sneered in her heart. Heh, the Qu Lian loved Lê Nam Giệu so much. How could she not know his birth characters? She couldn't find a good excuse.
Forget it. Even if she didn't have his birth characters, she had his name, his birthday, and Lê Nam Giệu's clothes. That was enough for her.
Li Xiao took the clothes and left. What was she doing here? Watching the Qu Lian act?
The Qu Lian wanted to stop her but didn't dare. She just stood there with a conflicted expression. This evildoer refused to take the bait. What should she do?
Her expression changed again and again.
Lin Zhaoxi just came out of the room. Seeing the Qu Lian's expression, he walked up and asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Is there something going on at home? "
She could vaguely sense that her mother-in-law and Nan Jue were hiding something from her. They even let her uncle and aunt stay in a nearby hotel for the past two days. Obviously, they didn't want them to know. Although it was a good thing that her uncle and aunt weren't at home for the time being, she was excluded. She more or less felt uncomfortable. She could only beat around the bush.
The Qu Lian, who was usually easy to coax, was unexpectedly tight-lipped at this time.
What a joke. Li Xiao was possessed by a demon. This kind of thing would be a big scandal if it was revealed. No matter how much she loved Lin Zhaoxi, Lin Zhaoxi's child hadn't been born yet. He could only be considered an outsider. Of course, she couldn't let her know.
She squeezed out a smile. "It's nothing. It's just that the weather has been a little cold these past few days, so I'm cold and have a headache."
Then, she went into the room holding her head. If Li Xiao didn't go to Xianyuan Mountain today, she would have a good discussion with Master Shen.
***
On the other side, after Li Xiao returned to her house, she began to divine Lê Nam Giệu's situation.
"… It's located in the northeast of Xianyuan Mountain. The situation is good. There's no danger to his life."
After the results of the divination, she snorted and called the police. She knew it. This was definitely a show directed by the mother and son. Was it just to cheat her of her money?
Didn't the Qu Lian say that Lê Nam Giệu was kidnapped? Of course, this kind of thing should be left to the police! She helped to divine the location and lightened the workload of the officials. It could be said that she had done her utmost benevolence. As for how Lê Nam Giệu would explain to the police, it was his own business.
After all, she was just an anxious, pitiful, and helpless daughter because her father was kidnapped.
