Upon hearing this, Shi Xi stopped in her tracks.
He didn't expect anyone to ask such a question. After all, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that the person in charge was Qin Budu, which puzzled Shi Xi.
"Have you forgotten something?"
After saying that, Ning Zhimao realized that what he said was not quite appropriate.
Someone had just complained to him about Xu Youchu's deeds, implying that Xu Youchu became Qin Budu's apprentice through underhanded means.
Ning Zhimao ignored the other party.
Talking about others behind their backs—a person who does such a tasteless thing is definitely not a good person.
However, he also disliked feng shui masters like Xu Youchu, feeling that he was not serious about his profession, did not cherish his reputation, and ruined the name of feng shui masters.
During the house tour, Ning Zhimao took the opportunity to observe Xu Youchu and naturally knew what the other party must have discovered.
He originally thought the other party would bring it up or tell Qin Budu, but he didn't expect him to just leave like that.
He thought Xu Youchu had forgotten, or that no one would believe what he said, which is why he couldn't help but speak up.
Because of the close proximity, Ning Zhimou looked at Shi Xi's face and recalled the words of the person from earlier, "Taking advantage of her good looks, she does whatever she wants. People like this will be taught a lesson sooner or later..."
“This isn’t just Xiao Chu’s problem.” Qi Tingsong looked at Ning Zhimao coldly. “Besides, if I’m not mistaken… we will also fall into a deep sleep.”
Upon hearing his words, everyone's expressions immediately became somewhat subtle.
It seems the matter is not over yet.
...
So everyone simply stayed in the lounge not far from the Cui family's house, waiting to see what the dream would be like.
After Shi Xi finished dinner, Xiao Ruan Jingshan stood on his shoulder and said, "Some ghosts and monsters are extremely good at changing their forms..."
I had just gone out to throw out the trash when I suddenly heard someone banging on the door.
The sound was very clear, as if it were right next to my ear.
Ruan Jingshan has disappeared without a trace.
Shi Xi turned her head and saw that the other feng shui masters who had been discussing things inside the room were nowhere to be seen.
He was the only one there.
The "thump thump thump" sound lasted for two minutes, then stopped abruptly.
'Squeak—'
The door in front of them suddenly opened automatically. As the wind entered and the air circulated, the paper bells hanging on the beam made a series of crisp ringing sounds.
What was originally meant to calm the mind and bring blessings sounds strangely noisy at night, causing irritation and distress.
Shi Xi felt a moment of agitation, but quickly calmed down and walked straight into the large apartment, ignoring everything else.
Is anyone there?
All the switches in the house were out of order, so Shi Xi could only rely on her memory of the day to slowly walk to the master bedroom.
"I'm a feng shui master, here to help."
Unfortunately, there was no sound from inside the house, as if the knocking sound was just an illusion.
"Big brother..."
Just then, the wardrobe door slowly opened, and a little boy timidly looked up at him.
"A bad guy has gotten into my house, can you get rid of him?"
Seemingly afraid of something, the little boy lowered his voice, and his tone sounded somewhat strange.
"Why are you here all alone? Where are the adults?" Shi Xi asked.
The little boy stared at Shi Xi but did not answer immediately.
"..." They were quite wary.
Shi Xi patted the other person's head. "I'm not a bad guy."
“The bad guy made me play hide-and-seek,” the little boy said. “He said he would kill me if I got caught.”
"I was so scared, so I came to find my mom and dad, but they weren't here, sob sob..."
Seemingly unable to hold back any longer, the little boy hugged Shi Xi's leg and began to sob softly.
Shi Xi squatted down and wiped away his tears. "Don't cry. I'll take you to find your mom and dad."
Do you know where they might be?
“…I…know.” The little boy hiccuped, then grabbed Shi Xi’s wrist and walked toward the desk he had been to earlier.
