Xianyuan Mountain.
Lê Nam Giệu looked at the white fog and frowned. The fog made him very uncomfortable. After staying for a long time, he even felt a little dizzy.
"Here, put this leaf in your mouth. It'll make you feel better."
Lê Nam Giệu took the leaf and put it under his tongue. A minty taste filled his mouth, making him feel refreshed. He said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Shen."
During this time, he and Master Shen often chatted. Their relationship was getting better and better. It felt like they were old friends at first sight. Master Shen said that he once had a daughter who was killed by a wandering ghost. He hated this kind of thing the most. This was why he took the initiative to contact them. He didn't even want to take money.
This noble attitude dispelled the last trace of doubt in Lê Nam Giệu's heart. He even felt a little guilty for doubting Master Shen.
"When will she come?"
Shen Ming said, "I don't know. It depends on the situation." He felt that no matter how bad the relationship between Li Xiao and Lê Nam Giệu was, she wouldn't just watch something happen to him. She would definitely come.
Lê Nam Giệu sighed. "I didn't care enough about her. I should've found out sooner. I shouldn't have waited until now. I'm sorry, Manqin. I didn't protect our daughter well." His face showed a mixture of guilt and self-blame.
Since Shen Ming wanted to deal with Li Xiao, he naturally understood the situation in his family. He knew that Xu Manqin was Lê Nam Giệu's ex-wife. He felt that Lê Nam Giệu was a very interesting person. On the one hand, he didn't care about their past friendship and ruthlessly dealt with his ex-wife and her family. He destroyed the Xu family. Now, he put on a look of guilt and regret. Was he sentimental or heartless?
Lê Nam Giệu could only keep these words in his heart. He couldn't tell anyone. Even the considerate Lin Zhaoxi wouldn't tell him. In front of Lin Zhaoxi, who relied on and trusted him, he didn't want to reveal any of his dark side. However, Master Shen was different. They were both in the same situation. They both lost their daughters. Moreover, Master Shen had a temperament like a spring breeze. People couldn't help but want to tell him the truth.
"Manqin is already dead... but I couldn't even fulfill her last wish."
Before Manqin died, she thought about him and Li Xiao the most.
Shen Ming was surprised. "You said your ex-wife is dead?"
Li Nanjue nodded as the scenes of the past replayed in his mind. Xu Manqin may have done evil things in the past, but after knowing Zhan Jiayin's true colors, could she have been framed as well?
Shen Ming said, "But I saw your Husband and Wife Palace. Your ex-wife is still in this world. Her life is not in danger."
Lê Nam Giệu seemed to be struck by lightning. His body froze. He stared at Shen Ming. "What did you say? She's not dead? But I've seen her body … "
He had seen it before. Xu Manqin's original appearance couldn't be seen clearly because of the fire.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. The fire came too suddenly. When he saw the body, he couldn't bear to see Manqin's miserable state. He just wanted people to bury her as soon as possible. Could it be that her death was fake?
Did that monster do it?
Did she do it because she was worried that Manqin would find out that she was an impostor?
Lê Nam Giệu thought he knew what the monster was thinking. He gritted his teeth and said, "My ex-wife should have fallen into the monster's hands. I hope you can help us."
Shen Ming nodded. "I'll do my best."
He shook his head slightly in his heart. He would be long gone by the time he swallowed Li Xiao's soul. How could he play with this fool? If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to cause more trouble, he really wanted to see this man's face after he found out the truth.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound. Although the sound was very soft, Shen Ming's sharp five senses still detected it. He held his wand with a dignified expression. Someone was coming, and there was more than one aura.
Could it be Li Xiao? Did she find other helpers?
It didn't matter. This array was set up to deal with Li Xiao. Even if she had made many preparations, once she stepped into it, she would not be able to escape.
Under his vigilant gaze, the bushes were quickly pushed aside. At the same time, several people in police uniforms rushed out. They aimed their guns at Shen Ming.
"Surrender, you kidnapper."
Shen Ming, who was suddenly treated as a kidnapper, was speechless.
His expression suddenly stiffened. What was going on?
****
Lê Nam Giệu and Shen Ming returned to the Li Clan's residence that night. Both of them looked stupefied and exhausted. Even Shen Ming, who always had a sage-like demeanor, couldn't maintain his master's attitude. They were taken back by the police from Xianyuan Mountain to record their statements. After a long time, they were finally released.
At that time, Shen Ming, who was suspected of being a kidnapper, could only fabricate a story that he shot the kidnapper and successfully rescued Lê Nam Giệu. However, the two of them got lost in the mountain in order to get out of the crime.
No matter what, they finally managed to deal with it.
Shen Ming rested in the guest room. His expression was distorted.
He didn't expect that after Li Xiao found out about this, she didn't come alone to save Lê Nam Giệu. Instead, she ran to the police.
Yes, she, a master of metaphysics, actually asked for help from the state! Shouldn't a master of metaphysics come to save people themselves to show off their skills? Why didn't she have the arrogance that a genius should have?
The matter that he thought was in the bag was ruined because of such a ridiculous reason. Shen Ming was so angry that he wanted to laugh. He could only come up with a new plan. At least for now, he couldn't use Lê Nam Giệu to lure Li Xiao over. From this matter, it could be seen that Li Xiao's feelings for Lê Nam Giệu were ordinary. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so lazy to come in person.
Then who should he look for?
He couldn't create another kidnapping case. In just a few days, there were several kidnappings around Li Xiao. No matter how careless the other party was, they would definitely be suspicious. Therefore, he had to plan for the long term.
Shen Ming, who stumbled on Li Xiao's side, spent more effort investigating Li Xiao.
Li Xiao was a loner. There weren't many people that she cared about. Her best friend in school was a girl named Jiang Tiantian.
However, when he planned to make a move on Jiang Tiantian, he accidentally found out that Jiang Tiantian was the daughter of the Chiang Dynasty. She had many bodyguards around her. If he kidnapped her, it would alarm a lot of people. Therefore, he could only give up for now. He didn't want to be wanted everywhere after this matter was over. He wanted to live openly, and not hide like a rat in the gutter. Ewen had the same reason. As a top manager, Ewen more or less had some connections and power.
In addition to Jiang Tiantian and Ewen, Li Xiao also had a girl named Li Que. She took care of the girl as if she was her own sister. They were inseparable. He couldn't take Li Xiao away without alarming Li Que. He could only pass.
Finally, Shen Ming's eyes fell on the name Cang Hai.
According to the information, this person was also a master of metaphysics. Li Xiao had an ambiguous relationship with him. She even gave him several houses. From this point of view, Li Xiao still liked him. Maybe he could start with him. Of course, kidnapping was definitely not a good reason.
He thought about it a few times in his head and came up with an answer.
He could also lead Cang Hai to him in the name of fighting. If Li Xiao knew that her boyfriend was injured, she would definitely not sit still and come to help him. At that time, everything would fall into place.
With a faint smile, Shen Ming set out to find Cang Hai.
****
Two hours later.
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Shen Ming covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was ashen.
He didn't expect Cang Hai to be so strong. He was so strong that he couldn't even last one round in front of him. Cang Hai just waved his sleeves lightly, but he felt that all his strength was about to be taken away. His internal organs were severely injured on the spot. If he hadn't activated the last Space-Breaking Talisman on him in time to break through the void and leave, he might not have been alive now. Thinking of the Space-Breaking Talisman, his eyes flashed with distress. He didn't know how to refine this talisman. He found it in a cave. Now he had used up the last one on him.
Cang Hai, who on earth was he?
A look of horror appeared in his eyes. He had lived for hundreds of years. Although his Divine Soul was getting weaker and weaker, many so-called Taoist Masters were still no match for him.
Leading Cang Hai to him became a ridiculous plan in front of his absolute strength. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to lead Cang Hai to him. When did such a great master appear in S City? And he was so low-key. He didn't use his powerful strength to seek benefits. Instead, he simply made a little money.
Was it because he was scheming for greater benefits that he was so low-key? In any case, he couldn't get him involved in this matter. It was better to hide it from him so that he wouldn't become Li Xiao's assistant. Then he would have no hope at all.
He sat down and swallowed a black fruit to heal his injuries.
After a while, he covered his chest. Maybe he should change his plan.
He knew that some demons were good at shapeshifting. He could force one of them to change into Cang Hai's appearance and lead Li Xiao here in the name of confessing his love. Coincidentally, he did know that there was a fox spirit in S City who was talented in shapeshifting.
Three days later, Shen Ming finally got all the information about this fox spirit. He had lived for so many years and had some channels of his own.
When he finished reading the entire investigation, he let out a low chuckle.
He really didn't expect this fox spirit to be Li Xiao's love rival. This fox spirit, Xin Lulu, was in love with the human man, Kwon Il-sen. She even changed her appearance to look similar to Li Xiao. In order to date Kwon Il-sen, she was willing to put down her self-esteem and become Li Xiao's substitute. In the end, she was mercilessly dumped by Kwon Il-sen. Kwon Il-sen even left China because of this. It was a great shame that a fox spirit, who was famous for her charm, lost to a mere human.
This fox spirit was even jealous of Li Xiao in the department store. She bought all the things that Li Xiao liked. It was obvious that the two of them had a bad relationship.
This fox spirit, Xin Lulu, should be very willing to cooperate with him.
He had originally wanted to use threats and promises, but now that he had this layer of relationship, this matter was in the bag. A confident smile appeared on his face.
"Cough, cough, cough …"
He began his daily routine of coughing. Every day, his body became weaker and weaker. This was also the reason why he was anxious to swallow Li Xiao's soul. As for the souls of ordinary people, they were useless.
Once his Divine Soul recovered, he would be able to search for the legendary Divine Artifact.
