Su Meng brought Shen Jian back to the antique shop. Unexpectedly, the shop was still open, and Hong Si was still looking at something at the counter.
Seeing that Su Meng had returned, he put down the things in his hands and came out to welcome her. “Xiao Meng, why are you back so late? Didn’t you say that you would be back tomorrow after the banquet tonight?”
“Something has happened. Brother Hong, where is my master? Is he resting?” Putting the things on the table, Su Meng looked around the room, but she did not see her master.
“Elder Guo is receiving guests in the room.”
Su Meng raised her eyebrows. She was curious as to what kind of guest was invited into the room by the old man instead of the hall.
After Hong Si finished talking to Su Meng, he turned his head and noticed that there was a man following behind Su Meng.
“This is?”
Shen Jian quickly walked in front of Hong Si and greeted him politely. “Hello, Brother Hong. I am Master Su Meng’s new follower. She brought me here because there was no place to stay. Sorry to disturb you.”
Su Meng did not expect Shen Jian to be so good with words. She smiled and nodded at Hong Si.
“So you’re Xiao Meng’s friend. If you don’t mind, why don’t you stay with me first?”
The shop was only so big. There were only two normal rooms in total. Su Meng and Guo Xiang were staying there. Since Hong Si had come, Guo Xiang had changed the study room into a bedroom for him to stay in. The room was not too big, but it was not a problem for two people to sleep in it.
Shen Jian quickly agreed. “Of course! It would be too much trouble for you!”
Hong Si brought Shen Jian to his room. The door was not closed, so there could not be no one downstairs. Su Meng sat at the door and watched the door.
Not long after, Guo Xiang walked out of the room, followed by an old man of his age.
Although the old man’s head was white, his body was very straight.
Su Meng stared at him curiously. This old man had a good temperament, but his face was haggard and tense. He didn’t seem to be in a good mood.
“Old Guo, are you really not going to save him? He is my only grandson. If he is gone, then my life is meaningless.” The old man followed behind Guo Xiang, begging.
“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I really can’t do anything. You know the rules of our business. I’ve already sworn that I won’t show feng shui to living people anymore. Even if I break the rules to help you, what I find will definitely be a corpse. There’s no way to change that.” Guo Xiang’s tone was deep.
Unexpectedly, the old man still didn’t give up. He continued to beg, “But what else can I do? I’ve already found many people, but those people are too weak. They don’t have the ability at all. The only person I can think of is you. Regardless of life and death, I just want to find him. Even if it’s a corpse, it’s better than not being able to see it!”
“I can give you as much money as you want. I can give you all of my assets. I just hope that you can help me find him.”
The old man’s eyes were red, and he was about to cry.
“This has nothing to do with how much money.” Guo Xiang frowned.
“Old Guo, I really have no choice. I beg you!”
The old man was about to kneel down, but Guo Xiang reacted quickly and held him, his eyes turning red.
“Well, in that case, I’ll recommend someone to you.” Guo Xiang saw Su Meng sitting at the door looking at him. He pointed at her and said to the old man, “This is my disciple. If you really can’t find her, let her try. She has inherited all my mantle. She can basically do everything I can do.”
The old man looked in the direction of Guo Xiang and his gaze fell on Su Meng.
“She… She seems a little… too young.” The old man looked at Su Meng and hesitantly spoke.
“This is the best I can do. If you really aren’t satisfied with her, then I have no choice. Everything is up to fate.” Guo Xiang’s tone was unquestionable. This was really his last concession.
Other than listening to Guo Xiang, the old man had no other choice. He reluctantly agreed, “Okay, okay, okay.”
So what if he didn’t agree? He had looked for everyone he could find, but no one could help him. Now that he had nowhere else to go, he could only trust the little girl in front of him.
The two of them talked for a long time in front of Su Meng, and she was dumbfounded. In the end, she didn’t understand what they meant.
