I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 509

These passersby, who had been making a fuss not long ago, came to their senses after a brief moment of stunned silence and rushed to act according to Shen Xuanxuan's instructions.

The street urchins who roam the streets share a similar personality trait: they are shameless and know how to change their tune depending on the situation.

Once they figured out who was in charge, they immediately transformed and became incredibly cooperative.

[What my uncle said is correct. In certain situations, it's much easier to use a petty person than a gentleman.]

Shen Xuanxuan watched the group of Westerners running around and felt quite satisfied.

To his surprise, not long afterward, someone delivered the information he wanted to him.

"There's a chat program running on the computer at the front desk, which includes a suggestion for modifying the interior design."

"Take me to see it."

Shen Xuanxuan strode to the front desk and began to look through the documents.

The content was nothing more than changing the original feng shui layout that gathered wealth and vitality into an inauspicious layout that gathered yin and nurtured evil. Shen Xuanxuan glanced at it and, after confirming that he had put all the modifications back in place, stopped and looked down.

Sure enough, the last line showed the signature of the author of the proposal—chen.

It is clearly an Asian single-character surname.

Combining the timing of the suggestion with the appearance of the first victim, the mastermind behind it all is obvious.

Are there any people still in the hotel?

Shen Xuanxuan asked the police officer who was trying to get closer.

"Of course. Not many people were taken away for questioning; the vast majority of the hotel management are still here. Should I go and have them cooperate with the investigation?"

The police officer answered honestly, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, the elevator not far away made a noise.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a man in a suit walked out.

The latter looked around, and after taking a good look at the attire of the people in the hotel lobby, he frowned, and without saying hello, walked directly towards Shen Xuanxuan.

"Officer Andrei, the investigation you're talking about is just letting a bunch of people who have nothing to do with the case disrupt the hotel environment? I can smell the poverty emanating from here even in the meeting room."

Shen Xuanxuan raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"Who are you, spouting nonsense here?"

Unexpectedly, the man in the suit only glanced at Shen Xuanxuan before looking away, showing no intention of answering.

Enraged by the slight, Shen Xuanxuan glared and puffed out his beard. He raised his hand to form a hand seal, ready to teach the other party a lesson, but was stopped by Officer Andrei.

"Calm down... He's not just an ordinary hotel executive; he's the son of the hotel's director. His family is very influential in London, and they recently took in quite a few superhumans. It's best not to get into a conflict with him."

With his back to the man in the suit, Andrei spoke rapidly to Shen Xuanxuan before taking a breath. Finally, he smiled broadly and turned to chat with the young man in the suit.

Shen Xuanxuan's face turned red with anger, but he refrained from lashing out because of the other party's family background. His eyes scanned the busy crowd in the hall, preparing to vent his anger on an unlucky person.

It was this one glance that made him realize something unusual.

Living beings possess vital energy, which, after undergoing a series of refinements, can condense into Qi.

In the eyes of a spiritual practitioner, the vital energy of an ordinary person is very weak, like a thin veil attached to the surface of the body, similar to a human image in a thermal imaging camera.

But just now, he seemed to have seen a humanoid figure radiating golden light, which then disappeared among the ordinary people in the blink of an eye.

wrong……

His earlier anger had long since vanished; now, his mind was solely focused on finding the owner of that aura.

A person with such intense anger, even if they are a complete novice, could be useful in the subsequent exorcism ritual. Shen Xuanxuan narrowed his eyes.

He couldn't possibly have overlooked such an important person; the other party must have used some special means to conceal themselves.

The instant this thought crossed his mind, his eyes finally caught the form of that being.

The other person appeared to be dressed in a black and white outfit, the style of which resembled that of a nun in a convent.

As Shen Xuanxuan became so certain, he felt as if the leaf that had been obscuring his vision had finally been removed, allowing him to glimpse the other party's true appearance.

Once you can really see the other person's face clearly, all the exorcisms and recruitment efforts disappear.

"Grandmaster..."

Shen Xuanxuan muttered to himself unconsciously.

Many of the private jobs he took in Hong Kong were commissioned by movie stars in the entertainment industry. He had seen many goddesses recognized by the public and believed that he had long since developed the ability to see women as mere skeletons.

But now that he has met the nun in front of him, he realizes that he was just looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.

Before Shen Xuanxuan could find the words to describe the other person, he saw that the nun was being blocked by a man.

"Master, is there something wrong with my female companion?"

The young man's question drew his attention slightly, and upon seeing the almost negligible Qi emanating from the other man, Shen Xuanxuan frowned imperceptibly.

This guy spoke weakly and his Qi was so faint that he was obviously frail and sickly, and his birth chart was as light as a feather.

The fact that I was able to stand still in the hotel lobby, which was filled with such a heavy yin energy, was all thanks to the nun next to me.

Shen Xuanxuan didn't bother to look at the other person's face; he figured it was just an ordinary face anyway, and he wouldn't remember it.

"It's nothing. I just have something I'd like to discuss with this young lady privately."

Before he could finish speaking, the nun refused.

"No."

Upon seeing the refusal, Shen Xuanxuan was somewhat puzzled, but then suddenly realized what was going on.

"Are you worried that leaving him will cause him to be invaded by evil spirits? I didn't think that through."

Shen Xuanxuan took out two pieces of yellow paper from his Taoist robe.

"These two talismans have the effect of warding off evil spirits and bringing good fortune. Wearing them can ensure his safety for a while."

The nun made no comment, but the young man naturally took the talisman from Shen Xuanxuan's hand.

This action further reinforced Shen Xuanxuan's already negative impression of him, adding the label of "rude" to his mind.

"Can i do it now?"

Shen Xuanxuan, who thought he had it in the bag, did not expect that the other party still had no intention of moving. Instead, he reached out and hugged the young man's arm, then rested his head on the young man's shoulder, just looking at Shen Xuanxuan without saying a word.

"I understand. Please have this gentleman come along as well."

Seeing the other party's resolute attitude, Shen Xuanxuan sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Are nuns nowadays all getting boyfriends?
It was truly a snow lotus that had fallen onto the yellow sand.

Don't ask why it's not cow dung; at least cow dung has some nutritional value.
