Hua Xiangyun did not interrupt him. The Xuanmen sect does not only observe things; it also has some involvement in medicine.
Lu An: "Our Xiaoya has always been very sensible and considerate since she was little, but ever since that change, she doesn't like to talk to us anymore, and sometimes she acts all mysterious."
Some of the older people in the family had suggested that the child might have been hit by a ghost, but we just couldn't believe it.
After all, we didn't go anywhere or do anything wrong, so how could we let the child get involved?
Who knew that just two months ago, my daughter Xiaoya started going out late and coming home early, and even seemed a little afraid of sunlight.
Before, I could attend classes at school, but now there's no way around it; I had to ask my teacher for a long leave to come back.
What pains Lu An the most is that he always feels that his daughter has changed, and even her appearance is becoming less and less like his own daughter.
My wife always says I'm too suspicious. Girls change a lot as they grow up; they change very quickly.
But he realized that his wife wasn't oblivious; she was just trying to comfort and deceive him.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have stayed here all day every weekend without any complaints, and even helped him cover up the situation in front of his family.
I've heard this master is very skilled; everyone who's visited here raves about him.
Hua Xiangyun carefully examined his face again, but without saying anything, she asked him to perform divination first.
The ominous sign was directly reflected in the divination, which puzzled Hua Xiangyun, as she hadn't noticed any danger to her life from his appearance.
But the ominous sign on the divination made her take it seriously.
"Besides leaving late and returning early, what else is unusual about her?"
Lu An: "There are many. For example, my daughter used to dislike looking in the mirror, but now she's like a completely different person. She not only took the mirror from her mother, but also took the lipstick with her."
My daughter used to be very sunny and cheerful, but now she always seems gloomy.
As a father, I know that even if a child changes a lot, it shouldn't be like this.
After Hua Xiangyun finished packing her things and saw that there were no outsiders around, she said, "I'll go to your house with you, but the cost will be calculated separately."
Lu An hurriedly said, quickly pulling out a large wad of money from his pocket, seemingly having come prepared. "This is what I should do. I've prepared this for you, Master. If you can save my daughter, I will reward you handsomely."
Others just consult the oracle, but he's going to hire a master to settle things, so naturally he'll have to spend a lot of money; he knows the rules of this trade.
Hua Xiangyun glanced at it but didn't take it. "I'll decide on the price after I've looked at it."
She became interested in what Lu An had mentioned. How could a person's temperament change so drastically in such a short time? There must be a reason.
The Lu family were native to the area. Although they were not considered prominent families in the county, they still had their own small courtyard.
The courtyard is small, with only three rooms and a kitchen.
This house is spacious enough for a family of three, so Lu Ya also has her own room.
Seeing the room door tightly closed and even the windows sealed shut, Lu An felt utterly helpless.
“The weather was a bit warmer before, but the child was still like this, completely blocking the room.” Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suspected that the child had bumped into someone.
The dog days of summer are no joke; he was afraid that he might accidentally make his child sick from being cooped up in the sweltering heat.
Hua Xiangyun: "Are you at home now?"
“She should be here. She doesn’t usually go out at this time,” Lu An reached out to push the door open, but hesitated, wondering how the child would react.
Hua Xiangyun could already hear noises coming from inside the room. She didn't know what the other person was knocking on; the sound was soft but rhythmic.
Lu An, who was near the door, naturally heard it too. Without pushing the door open, he knocked directly on it and said, "Xiao Ya, we have guests at home. Come out and help Dad greet them."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a banging sound came from the door, as if Lu Ya had thrown something at her. "Get out."
Hearing the childish, hoarse voice, Hua Xiangyun couldn't help but frown. "How long has it been since she drank water?"
Lu An hadn't really noticed, but it wasn't a big problem at all. Was the master looking in the wrong direction?
"And what about food?"
Lu An: "Every time, I bring it into the house and eat it."
Hua Xiangyun: "What do we do now? I don't have that much time to wait here."
Although Lu An suspected there was something wrong with the child, he couldn't bear to be harsh, so he stood at the door and gently coaxed the child.
Lu Ya finally opened the door just when Lu An was about to give up.
Even without having opened her spiritual eye, Hua Xiangyun knew that the girl in front of her had a serious problem.
But the other person was clearly more perceptive. The moment they saw Hua Xiangyun, their face contorted, and they immediately closed the door again.
“Well,” Lu An said apologetically, “this child isn’t usually like this. I can coax him out, but he’s never been this rude before.”
She might be a little uncomfortable seeing strangers all of a sudden, so I'll try to comfort her.
Hua Xiangyun pushed him away and kicked the door open before Lu An could react.
Lu An, “…” The child only slammed the door, did the master have to get so angry?
No, now is not the time to think about these things. Don't scare the child...
But the master had already entered the room, so he hurriedly followed.
But as soon as he entered, he was kicked out, and soon, the sounds of fighting came from inside.
Lu An panicked. He had invited the master back to help solve the problem, not to beat the child.
Ignoring the scrapes he had just sustained from the fall, he stood up and tried to rush back in, but as soon as he reached the door, he was kicked out again. This time, he saw clearly that the one who kicked him was his own daughter, Lu Ya.
Especially the fiery expression on her face startled Lu An.
Lu Ya is only fourteen years old. She's just a child. Where would she get such a deep hatred?
Hua Xiangyun was attacked as soon as she entered the room. Fortunately, she was prepared and managed to avoid the first blow; otherwise, she would have been seriously injured.
"I advise you to surrender. Don't think that just because you're in this body, I can't do anything to you."
Lu Ya laughed in a hoarse voice, "Heh, heh, you keep saying you love your daughter the most, but I didn't expect you to send someone to cause trouble."
Hua Xiangyun: "Then are you their biological daughter?"
"...Is there a difference?" Lu Ya said, "I am her, and she is me. Was it you who stirred things up in front of them?"
Hua Xiangyun dodged her fist and retaliated with a palm strike. This palm strike was imbued with spiritual energy, instantly sending the person flying onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
With a muffled groan, Hua Xiangyun's foot arrived, landing squarely on her chest, rendering her immobile.
Hearing the commotion, Lu An rushed in. Seeing the scene, he turned pale with fright. "Master, let's talk this out. She's just a child."
Hua Xiangyun's words had a double meaning: "There is a child, but she is probably several generations older than you."
