After considering her choice of words, Su Meng asked carefully, âOld man, I remember when I was young, I heard you say that the way to cast a curse on a newborn baby was to use a dead personâs item to reverse the fate of the babyâs life. How do we solve this?â
When her master who had been cooking heard Su Mengâs question, he immediately turned off the fire. Then, he turned around to look at her in surprise and asked, âYou met a person who was cursed? You want to help that person remove the curse?â
Su Meng did not expect her master to have such a big reaction. She laughed awkwardly and said, âHaha, yes, I met a person with such a physique. I feel sorry for him. In addition, he gave me a lot of money, so I want to help him solve this problem.â
Guo Xiang denied it without even thinking. âNo, we canât do this business anymore. Weâre not so poor that we canât afford to eat. Thereâs no need to work so hard.â
âOld manâ¦â
âNo, if I say no, then no.â
Su Meng was about to retort, but Guo Xiang didnât give her the chance. He rejected her outright.
In the profession of feng shui masters, if one only looked at feng shui, or changed the feng shui of buildings, it would be fine to look for people. However, performing a ritual to break a curse was very dangerous. If the opponent was a feng shui master lower than her, that was fine. But if the opponent was higher than her, that would be tantamount to courting death.
Guo Xiang did not even need to inquire in detail to guess that the one who could cast such a heaven-defying curse on the baby must be from a big family, and not an ordinary big family. Only those who were involved in a huge conflict of interest or a deep-seated hatred would do such a thing.
âYou have just entered this line of work. Keep a low profile and donât provoke people you shouldnât. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous in the future.â
Hearing her masterâs advice, Su Meng complained in her heart, âIâve already provoked him. Itâs too late to hide. If I donât help, Iâll be even more miserable.â
However, she only dared to say it in her heart. She didnât dare to let her master know. Otherwise, it would be even worse.
Since she couldnât tell the truth, she could only launch a coquettish attack. Su Meng hugged Guo Xiangâs arm and begged, âMaster, I promise I wonât cause any trouble. Iâm just helping that customer. Moreover, this kind of business is conducted in secret. Weâve signed a confidentiality agreement. He wonât tell anyone that I helped him.â
âBesides, this is a matter that concerns his life. Even if he doesnât consider me, just for his own sake, he wonât betray me, donât you think so?â
âNo!â Guo Xiangâs objection was still firm.
When Su Meng saw this, she pretended to be sad and cried, âOld Man, are you afraid of teaching me and stealing your job in the future?! If you donât want to teach me, then Iâll look it up in the books. Itâs even more unreliable to read books by myself. If something happens to me, you wonât have such a smart and cute disciple like me anymore!â
Originally, Guo Xiang really didnât want to teach her, but Su Mengâs words reminded him. If he didnât care, if he really waited for her to read the book by herself and then learn half-baked things, it would instead cause a bigger problem. He might as well teach her hand-by-hand.
Su Meng had always been good at persuading people. Guo Xiang sighed helplessly. His disciple had grown up, and even the methods to annoy people had improved. He knew that he liked her spoiled tricks the most.
âEat first. Iâll teach you after dinner.â Guo Xiang brought the cooked dishes to Su Meng, then turned on the fire and continued to cook the dishes.
âYes, Sir. As expected, Master dotes on me the most.â Su Meng took the plate with a smile, and then began to help her master.
Guo Xiang did not go back on his word. After dinner, he asked Su Meng to tell him the specific details of the guest. After Su Meng told him one by one, he immediately determined what curse the person was under.
âWhat kind of identity does this person have to be under such a vicious curse?â Guo Xiang sighed. He could not help but sweat for his disciple in his heart. He was worried that she would not really get into trouble.
âHe definitely has a big identity. If I donât take this case, we will all be finished,â Su Meng ridiculed in her heart, but on the surface, she pretended to do it for the money. âIdentity is not important. Anyway, it is absolutely safe and there is a lot of money. As long as I finish this case, not only will I be rich in the future, I will also have a backer.â
This was true. Zhou Peng had promised her that if she could really cure his body, then Su Meng would be his benefactor. Money was a small problem, and he would still protect Su Meng in the future. This was also a risky but high-return investment for Su Meng.
Su Meng locked herself at home for two days waiting for news from Sheng Qiu. She was also preparing to solve Zhou Pengâs matter.
Finally, when she was almost done, she received a call from Sheng Qiu.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
