Urban Cultivation: Starting with Winning Back My Wife and Daughter

As usual, Lin Yuxi went to work, Wang Xingyu took the little girl to kindergarten, and then went to his family's traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

As soon as Wang Xingyu got out of the car, he saw Huang Qingyang standing at the entrance of the clinic.

"Mr. Huang, were you waiting for me?"

"Let's go inside and talk."

The two opened the door and walked into the building.

"Did you know that Sun Wuming and Wu Yizhou died near the Sunshine Residential Area last night?"

"Know."

"I remember your ex-wife and children lived in Sunshine Community."

Since Huang Qingyang already knew he was a member of the Xuanmen sect, Wang Xingyu didn't intend to hide it from him and asked, "Elder Huang, do you want to ask about their cause of death?"

Huang Qingyang nodded and said, "That's right."

Wang Xingyu stated bluntly, "Sun Wuming raised a highly poisonous Gu worm in an attempt to kill me, but it backfired and killed him instead."

Huang Qingyang was puzzled and asked, "Then what was he doing at Sunshine Residential Area?"

Wang Xingyu explained, "The masters of the Xuanmen are not as powerful as you imagine. Sun Wuming's magical power is not strong enough; to control the Gu worms, they must be within a certain range."

Huang Qingyang suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. You two had a magical duel?"

Wang Xingyu laughed and said, "He's not qualified to fight me. This morning, the criminal investigation team contacted me and questioned me about Sun Wuming. I guess I'm going to be in some trouble soon."

Huang Qingyang asked, "Do you want me to help you smooth it out?"

Wang Xingyu said, "No need. I've been at home the whole time, not even stepping out of my bedroom. They won't find anything. If you speak up for me, it will seem like you're trying to cover something up."

Huang Qingyang exclaimed, "Your Xuanmen sect is truly amazing! It's a pity I'm too old to cultivate, but the younger generation can. Young Wang, would you accept disciples?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xingyu finally understood that Huang Qingyang had been waiting for him here.

"Elder Huang, we live in a time of spiritual depletion, a time of declining spiritual energy. I attained my current level of Taoist cultivation by sheer chance and without much effort. Let alone teaching disciples, even if I have a son in the future, without special circumstances, he will not be able to inherit my mantle."

Huang Qingyang asked suspiciously, "You're not kidding me, are you?"

Wang Xingyu sighed and said, "Elder Huang, this is common knowledge and the main reason for the decline of the Xuanmen sect. I have no reason to deceive you."

Huang Qingyang said helplessly, "Alright. Let's have some tea."

Wang Xingyu was taken aback and said, "You're here to mooch my tea again?"

Huang Qingyang glared at him and said matter-of-factly, "I mainly wanted to chat with you."

Wang Xingyu was speechless.

......

After reviewing Zhao Wujiu's case file, Haijiang Police Superintendent Li Guangyu frowned deeply.

He is a truly capable criminal investigator who has solved countless cases in Nebula, but there are also a few cases that he just can't seem to solve.

It wasn't because of his incompetence, but because those cases were full of eeriness from beginning to end.

For example, a gentle and elegant woman might suddenly go mad, kill her husband, and then commit suicide.

Apart from the surveillance video, there was no one around.

For example, a docile pet dog attacked a wealthy businessman who owned it, biting off the businessman's carotid artery and causing him to bleed to death.

These cases were very peculiar. After tireless investigation, Li Guangyu eventually classified them as supernatural murder cases from the Xuanmen sect.

Li Guangyu visited a highly skilled master and learned about the existence of the Xuanmen sect from him.

The question he asked Wang Xingyu before leaving was actually a test of the other party.

The deaths of Sun Wuming and his disciple Wu Yizhou were too similar to those mysterious and unsolved events.

Li Guangyu suspected that Sun Wuming went to Sunshine Community late at night to use Xuanmen techniques to deal with Wang Xingyu, but he ended up kicking a hornet's nest, losing the battle, and being killed by Wang Xingyu.

Of course, he has no evidence, nor could he possibly have any.

Even if Wang Xingyu himself admits to using magic to kill Sun Wuming from a distance, the court will at most consider him to have mental problems.

"Captain Li, Luo Haifeng and Ye Tianfan have arrived."

"Please ask Luo Haifeng to go to the interrogation room first."

"Yes."

No matter what, Li Guangyu has to get to the bottom of this.

The goal wasn't to bring Wang Xingyu to justice, but to uncover the truth.

"Mr. Luo, thank you very much for coming to the Police Department to assist us in our case."

Li Guangyu personally brought Luo Haifeng a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.

Luo Haifeng chuckled and said, "It's only right. Assisting the police in handling cases is the duty of every citizen."

"If every citizen had such a high level of awareness as you, our work would be much easier to carry out."

After a few polite words, Li Guangyu took out photos of Zhao Wujiu and Sun Wuming and asked, "President Luo, do you know them?"

Luo Haifeng picked up the photos, looked at them one by one, shook his head, and said, "I've never seen them before."

Li Guangyu said, "You had some health problems recently, and you were having nightmares every night, right?"

"right."

"Who cured you?"

Luo Haifeng raised an eyebrow and said, "Is that important?"

Li Guangyu nodded and said, "It's extremely important."

Luo Haifeng knew very well that his contact with Wang Xingyu could not be hidden from the police, so he replied, "It was Mr. Wang Xingyu."

"When?"

"Last Tuesday morning."

"What a coincidence!"

Li Guangyu took out Zhao Wujiu's photo and said, "He died mysteriously last Tuesday morning."

Luo Haifeng asked knowingly, "A bizarre death? How bizarre?"

Li Guangyu smiled and said, "That's top secret, I can't tell you. Mr. Luo, Mr. Wang Xingyu cured your illness, how much did you pay him for the consultation?"

Luo Haifeng said, "A check for fifty million."

Li Guangyu exclaimed in surprise, "So tall?"

Luo Haifeng took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Compared to my life, a mere fifty million is nothing."

Li Guangyu's eyes suddenly sharpened as he stared directly at Luo Haifeng and asked, "Mr. Luo, was it Mr. Wang Xingyu who broke Zhao Wujiu's spell, thus curing your illness but also causing Zhao Wujiu's death?"

Even the composed Luo Haifeng was shaken by Li Guangyu's "sudden attack," and his eyelids twitched twice.

How did he know about this?

guess?

Yes, it's mostly speculation, because there's no way to prove such a magical duel.

Luo Haifeng quickly composed himself and was about to answer Li Guangyu's question when Li Guangyu unexpectedly stood up, extended his hand to him, and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Luo."

Luo Haifeng was somewhat annoyed, knowing that he had just given himself away.

"Captain Li, I think you're very good at making up myths."

Li Guangyu had gotten the answer he wanted and smiled, "I think so too."

"Have you ever considered that many things in this world are not subject to human will? No matter how hard you try, you won't get any good results."

"At least I tried."

Luo Haifeng gave him a deep look and said, "Captain Li, good luck."
