Ring ring ring…
The phone rang, pulling Lai Xiaole back from his thoughts. When he took out his phone and looked, it was Ye Ling calling.
The relationship between Lai Xiaole and the Ye family wasn't complicated. Previously, Ye Tiansheng had invited him to do so feng shui work, and thus he got to know Ye Ling.
As the thirty-eighth generation successor of Lai Buyi, Lai Xiaole always adhered to the family teachings. These family teachings are rather interesting, almost amusing to hear.
The Lai family has had a family teaching since ancient tis. Each generation must have a noblewoman to support them, and this noblewoman must et three conditions.
First, possess the appearance of openness and adaptability.
Second, be charming to the bone, enchanting all beings.
Third, be adept in the Five Elents feng shui.
Yan Xin'er is charming to the bone, also has the appearance of openness and adaptability, and is a double Ph.D. in feng shui theory.
According to the book of appearances, if a woman has captivating eyes and a delicate face, a seductive figure, phoenix-like eyes and willow-like brows, she signifies openness and adaptability, capable of helping the master to overco calamities and prosper the business.
The Lai family teachings also include a rule forbidding having relations with the noblewoman, otherwise, it brings disaster to three generations.
Lai Xiaole wasn't sure why such a rule existed, but given it was taught since ancient tis, he dared not defy it.
Upon answering the call, Lai Xiaole heard Ye Ling's voice, "Xiao Le, where are you?"
Lai Xiaole quite liked Ye Ling, not in the romantic sense, but as he sees it, every wealthy second-generation woman has a common problem: arrogance and disrespect. However, Ye Ling lacked these flaws, making her especially precious.
As the successor of the Lai family, Lai Xiaole naturally knew Ye Ling suffered from the Nine Yin Blockage, but he was powerless to help.
Nonetheless, Lai Xiaole knew Ye Ling wouldn't die so soon.
"I just ca out from a client's house, why, is there sothing up?" Lai Xiaole said into the phone.
Ye Ling replied from the other end, "You need to co to A Waterside Café quickly. I want to introduce soone to you."
Lai Xiaole didn't really want to go, so he tried to evade, saying, "I'm very busy right now, let's find another day when I'm free."
Ye Ling beca sowhat displeased, saying, "No way, I've already told them you'd be here, they're waiting for you there, hurry up, don't stand up."
Before Lai Xiaole could say anything, Ye Ling had already hung up.
Lai Xiaole laughed wryly, shook his head, and after thinking about it, still headed towards A Waterside Café.
As soon as he entered the café and saw Ye Ling standing up to wave him over, he walked over and glanced at Feng'er who was sitting beside her.
Feng'er was also sizing up Lai Xiaole, from whom Feng'er felt a very strong aura.
Lai Xiaole looked at Feng'er and also felt a sense of awe within. This young man before him emitted an astonishing strength, a strength only cultivators possessed.
"Xiao Le, this is the person I wanted to introduce to you, his na is Feng'er, I t him on Kunlun Mountain," Ye Ling said looking at Lai Xiaole.
Lai Xiaole reached out his hand and gave a slight smile to Feng'er, saying, "I am Lai Xiaole, nice to et you."
Feng'er also stood up, shook Lai Xiaole's hand, and smiled, "Nice to et you."
After shaking hands, they both sat down, and Ye Ling impatiently said to Lai Xiaole, "Xiao Le, do you know, today Feng'er did my family a huge favor."
Lai Xiaole asked, "What favor?"
Ye Ling then recounted how Feng'er dealt with Qin Zhengxiong today, exaggerating quite a bit in the process.
The more Lai Xiaole listened, the more shocked he felt; he guessed correctly that the young man before him was indeed a cultivator. He again carefully observed Feng'er.
Feng'er's appearance was indeed quite handso, with distinct features.
His brows were like big knives, nose bridge straight, dignified appearance, absolutely a dragon among n. Especially those eyes radiating righteousness, indicating he was certainly not from an evil path.
"Brother Feng'er," Lai Xiaole's address was sowhat awkward, he said, "Are you a cultivator?"
Before Feng'er could say anything, Ye Ling already exclaid in surprise, "Xiao Le, indeed you are the successor of the Lai family, able to even see this."
Lai Xiaole inwardly chuckled, just now you already praised Feng'er to the heavens, anyone would have figured it out.
Feng'er smiled slightly, looking at Lai Xiaole, said, "That's right, I am indeed a cultivator, a disciple of Kunlun Mountain's school."
The Kunlun Mountain school, that's a legendary cultivation sect, Lai Xiaole exclaid and stood up, looking at Feng'er with a shocked expression, unable to speak.
As a successor of the Lai family, Lai Xiaole knew sowhat from the books left behind by his ancestors, Kunlun Mountain school belonged to the orthodox Taoist cultivation sect, always only a legend, never thought it was real.
Seeing Lai Xiaole in a stunned state, Ye Ling giggled and said, "Xiao Le, look at your open mouth, it could swallow seven or eight eggs."
Lai Xiaole snapped out of it, awkwardly smiled, and sat back down.
Before they could say more, Lai Xiaole's phone rang again. After answering it, he imdiately stood up and said to Feng'er and Ye Ling, "I have so urgent matters, visit my office tomorrow, I happen to have so things to consult Feng'er about."
Lai Xiaoyu is Lai Xiaole's sister, she's a cop, with short neat hair, full of heroic spirit.
Lai Xiaole went to the police station to find his sister Lai Xiaoyu, she saw him and imdiately lunged at him, hugging his neck, "Where have you been these days?"
A few young policen around imdiately changed their expressions, they must be Lai Xiaoyu's pursuers.
Lai Xiaole pushed his sister away, feeling embarrassed, and said, "Xiaoyu, as a girl, you should be more composed. I need your help with sothing."
Lai Xiaoyu reluctantly let go of Lai Xiaole, pouting, "Alright, what do you need from ?"
Lai Xiaole replied, "Help look into soone, Wang Lei, the brother of Wang Ping, the forr chairman of Coastal Group."
Lai Xiaoyu blinked, "What happened? Did he offend you?"
Lai Xiaole tapped Lai Xiaoyu's forehead, saying, "What are you thinking? Just check it out and email the results. I'm off."
Lai Xiaoyu grabbed Lai Xiaole's arm, playfully, "Brother, it's been nearly a month since you ca ho."
Lai Xiaole affectionately tweaked Lai Xiaoyu's little nose, "I'll be back tomorrow."
Lai Xiaoyu was delighted, "Promise you'll do it, and I'll make your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs tomorrow."
After leaving the police station, Lai Xiaole went straight back to the studio.
Yan Xiner was sitting there, applying makeup in front of the mirror.
Seeing Lai Xiaole, Yan Xiner imdiately jumped up, her long black hair flicked back, her pretty face full of charm, "President Lai, you're back. I'll make you so coffee."
Lai Xiaole said, "Don't rush. Xiner, co with ."
Yan Xiner followed Lai Xiaole into the office.
As soon as Lai Xiaole sat down, Yan Xiner plopped herself onto his lap.
Yan Xiner was indeed alluring, with a slender, supple waist and a prominent chest. Between her low-cut neckline, the two mounds crowded together, creating an appealing groove.
Lai Xiaole had no mind to admire the view. Sternly, he asked Yan Xiner, "Xiner, do you know about Night Yin Flower?"
The charm vanished from Yan Xiner's face as she replied seriously, "Night Yin Flower, also known as Nightingale Flower, is an extrely yin flower that grows on hundred-year-old corpses. According to records, the scent of Night Yin Flower is very strong and can cause hallucinations."
Lai Xiaole looked approvingly at Yan Xiner, then asked, "And do you know about the Soul Leaving Spell?"
Yan Xiner nodded, "The Soul Leaving Spell is a Taoist Skill from the Maoshan Tao, using dreams to cast spells, causing hallucinations, making one's three souls not gather, and one's mind unsteady."
Lai Xiaole asked further, "What would happen if the Soul Leaving Spell was combined with the Night Yin Flower?"
Yan Xiner was taken aback, "Maoshan Tao vanished a hundred years ago, and Night Yin Flower is so rare. How could they even co together?"
Lai Xiaole smiled bitterly, "The problem is, they have co together. You know, I found this rare flower at Chen Hui's house today."
Yan Xiner jumped up from Lai Xiaole's lap, "No way! If that's the case, the effect of the Soul Leaving Spell would be even stronger, causing one's three souls to separate in a short ti, weakening one's fate, and making life or death hard to save."
Lai Xiaole suddenly jumped up too, hitting his own forehead hard, "Let's go quickly to Yang Xu's house, we might still find sothing."
Yang Xu's ho wasn't far, and they arrived in a few minutes.
Yang Xu lived in a regular residential area, on the fifth floor without an elevator.
Lai Xiaole and Yan Xiner arrived at the door and knocked.
The door opened, and it was a young woman, looking average and like she ca from the countryside.
The woman looked at Lai Xiaole and Yan Xiner, a flash of panic in her eyes, "Who are you looking for?"
Lai Xiaole looked at the woman and surprisingly smiled, "I'm a friend of Yang Xu, here to pick sothing up."
"There's no one by that na here, you have the wrong place." The woman said, attempting to close the door.
Lai Xiaole pushed the door open and stord inside directly.
The woman started shouting.
Lai Xiaole glared at the woman, his tone stern, "If you don't want to call the police, you'd better keep silent."
Yang Xu was Lai Xiaole's friend; he naturally knew about Yang Xu's connections and background.
Yang Xu was a writer with few friends. His wife ran away with soone three years ago and was never heard from again, and he had no relatives, only Lai Xiaole and a few other friends who ca by.
The woman indeed quieted down, showing a terrified expression as she looked at them.
Lai Xiaole looked around, the room was tidy, seemingly undisturbed.
After a careful inspection, Lai Xiaole's eyes twinkled with amusent. He approached the woman, asking coldly, "Who are you, and why are you here?"
The woman blurted out, "I'm a relative of his."
Lai Xiaole sneered, and told Yan Xiner, "Call the police."
The woman panicked completely, "No, no, I was hired by soone to clean the house."
Lai Xiaole asked, "Who hired you?"
The woman shook her head, "I don't know him, I really don't. I was hired in a labor market."
Having t countless people, Lai Xiaole knew she was telling the truth, and continued to ask, "What does the person who hired you look like?"
The woman still shook her head, "He was wearing a mask, I couldn't see his face. He was about this tall, and had a sturdy build." As she spoke, the woman gestured with her hands.
