Mr. Xu nodded and said, "Yes, this house was only recently built. Because of the theft of the documents, I felt that it was no longer very safe here, so I wanted to hire more bodyguards and have them provide close protection. So I built a house specifically for them to live in."
"Hehe~ Mr. Xu, you've thought of everything. But haven't you hired a bit too many bodyguards this time?"
When the coffee shop owner saw that there were actually twenty or thirty bodyguards standing at the entrance of the villa, he was completely stunned. He felt that Mr. Xu was probably really scared by the thief who stole the documents.
Mr. Xu knew what the coffee shop owner was surprised about, and he whispered to him, "Hey, brother, I'm really worried about having so few people. You know, I even have some 'security guards' here, and they still got injured by that thief, didn't they?"
Hearing what Mr. Xu said, the coffee shop owner understood. He nodded and said, "Since that thief is so skilled, it's definitely necessary to hire so many bodyguards."
Master Li had been listening to them chat for most of the day, so he said, "Alright, enough talk, let's get started. Old Xu, have the bodyguards get their things ready for me."
Upon hearing this, Boss Xu immediately instructed his bodyguards to bring Master Li a table, on which were placed incense, candles, paper money, peach wood swords, and other tools for performing rituals.
Seeing that all the tools had been taken out, the coffee shop owner approached Mr. Xu and said, "Oh dear, this is the second time I've seen the master perform the ritual. I hope it will be very effective. Let's retrieve those documents."
Mr. Xu nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, that's what I think too. But I'm a little worried that she's also a formidable opponent, after all, she's the kind of person who can injure 'security guards'."
While they were talking, Master Li had already begun his ritual. He simply touched the incense sticks with his finger and lit them. That's right, he lit them with his finger, without needing any other lighting tools.
His action amazed Mr. Xu and the coffee shop owner, who then felt even greater respect and admiration for Master Li.
After the incense and candles were lit, Master Li picked up the peach wood sword and brandished it, just like a shaman performing a ritual in a movie, chanting incantations and constantly waving the peach wood sword in his hand.
Ya Zi had already tracked Xu's villa, but he used invisibility to enter. He then stood openly next to Master Li, eating takeout desserts while watching Master Li perform his shamanistic ritual. His carefree demeanor was extremely arrogant.
However, just after Master Li finished his shamanistic ritual, he suddenly seemed to sense something and abruptly turned his head to look at where Ya Zi was standing. Ya Zi was a little surprised by his gaze and wondered if the charlatan had discovered him.
Fortunately, Master Li only glanced at that spot and then turned away, as if he hadn't noticed anything amiss. He continued his shamanistic ritual, and halfway through, he had Boss Xu place a handful of rice on the table, then put the peach wood sword on top of the rice, and began to paint with his eyes closed.
It's unclear whether it was his problem or the peach wood sword's, but the peach wood sword kept drawing circles on the table, just going around in circles in the middle of the rice grains, without drawing anything at all. Finally, Master Li, covered in sweat, opened his eyes and saw these circles, his eyes widening in surprise!
"How...how is this possible?!"
Master Li was stunned, because he never expected that he would be unable to find the thief's location. He had clearly tried very hard to find the person, but he could only go around in circles on the rice!
Seeing Master Li's expression, Mr. Xu and the coffee shop owner became a little nervous. They both moved closer to the table to look at the pattern on it. Mr. Xu even asked Master Li, "Master, what does this mean? Can you explain it to us?"
Master Li was covered in sweat and looked very tired, but he still explained, "This is the method I used to track down that thief, but I didn't expect that I couldn't find her. Is it because her cultivation is higher than mine?!"
At this moment, Ya Zi, who was secretly observing from the side, heard his words and really wanted to tell him: That's right, his cultivation is indeed much higher than yours; he could be your ancestor!
