"I didn't accept this commission casually." Geng Shudan put one hand on the edge of the car window, smiled and looked sideways at Fang Xia beside him, "Actually, in the client's house, a guest with a foreign surname from the Geng family , I went to see it half a month ago. At that time, he intuitively felt that there was a problem, but he couldn't find the reason. Later, he couldn't let it go, so he contacted me, hoping that I could go to that family to have a look. That person It can be regarded as a bit of skill, and he won't feel that there is a problem for no reason. Since he talked to me, it is likely that there is something dirty in that family's house. It just so happens that you need to practice and learn, so I agreed."

"Foreigner?" Fang Xia stretched his limbs in the limited space of the rear seat, and snorted suspiciously, "What is that?"

"Huh? You don't know the foreign surname of the Geng family?" Geng Shudan sat up slightly.

"Sorry, I haven't had time to tell him about the situation in Geng's old house." Wang Ke in the front driver's seat glanced at Geng Shudan in the rearview mirror, and apologized.

"I don't blame you. Fang Xia has been following me in class for the past few days, and you can't find time to talk to him in detail." Geng Shudan thought for a while, and said to Fang Xia, "What does the Geng family's old house do? You don't need me to explain anymore, do you?"

"The main business is the magic stick business, I know." Fang Xia nodded.

"Well, according to what you said, the Geng family's old house is doing magic stick business." Geng Shudan smiled, and followed Fang Xia's words, "The person who can inherit Yujue, that line is Geng Shudan. The direct line of the family, the old house is governed by the direct line. And the lower branch of the Geng family, talented people, are eligible to participate in the business of the old house, such as me. Those of us who are the side branch of the Geng family are like the establishment system of the old house. Internal employees. Since there are those who are in the establishment system, there are naturally also those who are outside the system.”

"A foreigner is a contract worker outside the system?" Fang Xia tilted his head to look at Geng Shudan.

"That's right." Geng Shudan said, "In the Xuanshu circle, there are family members like the Geng family, and some are passed on in the form of sects accepting disciples. Of course, there are also lone rangers who fight alone. However, Hunxuan People in the art world basically walk on the boundary line between yin and yang. This is a dangerous one-way road. If you are a little careless, you will either die unexpectedly, or you will never return after stepping on the front line. The Lone Ranger is free, But it's not so easy to be. Those people don't want to be restricted by the sect and want to protect their own safety. The best choice is to pick a family to post a post and become a foreigner of that family. When the foreigner is in trouble, The family will provide help; and when the family is in need, foreign guests are also obliged to provide assistance. It is said that it is an employment relationship, but it is actually a cooperative relationship, and everyone gets what they need."

Fang Xia rolled her eyes, turned to Wang Ke who was in front of her, pointed at him and asked Geng Shudan, "Then Wang Ke is also a foreigner?"

"No." Wang Ke denied aloud, "Although I am also a person with a foreign surname, my relationship with the Geng family is not like that of a foreign surname guest. I am a person who serves the direct line of the Geng family. Uncle Tong is the same as them."

"Comparing the Geng family's old house to a company, the direct descendants of the Geng family are the company's management, some of the offshoots of the Geng family are regular employees, and the foreign surnames are contract workers. Wang Ke and the others probably belong to the special secretary of the management. The difference with the foreign surnames is that , foreigners don’t get paid, but they do.”

Fang Xia and his party got off the expressway, and it took about half an hour to finally arrive at the place where the client, Mrs. Li, lived. It was a high-rise residential area, not a particularly high-end area, but there were more formal guards at the entrance of the area. room.

After the guard room confirmed with the owner, Wang Ke drove into the community and stopped at the building where the client lived. Geng Shudan and Fang Xia got out of the car one after another.After Fang Xia got out of the car, he stretched first, then ran to the front and opened the door of the passenger seat.

"What's wrong?" Wang Ke in the driver's seat looked at Fang Xia inexplicably.This is opening the car door, not taking anything, and not talking to him, what is this doing?

"It's okay, Fu Jin wants to get out of the car, I'll open the car door for him." Fang Xia waved to Wang Ke, and then closed the car door again.

Wang Ke: "..." So on the way here, Mr. Fu Jin was sitting next to him in the passenger seat?

No wonder Fang Xia opened the door of the front passenger seat before departure in the morning, but instead of getting in, she ran to the back and sat with Geng Shudan.He didn't suddenly change his mind and wanted to sit in the back, but he was helping Fu Jin open the door.A door is actually meaningless to a ghost, whether or not the door is opened does not affect them getting in and out of the car, probably because Fang Xia is a little too aware of Fu Jin's existence because of the visible reason.However, Fang Xia's aptitude was indeed excellent, and Fu Jin was sitting next to him all the way, so he didn't realize it.It was Fang Xia who completely suppressed the evil spirit on Fu Jin, making him unable to feel Fu Jin's existence at all.

It was inconvenient for all three of them to go to the client's house, so Geng Shudan only took Fang Xia upstairs and asked Wang Ke to stay in the car and wait for them.

Mrs. Li lived on the seventh floor. Fang Xia and Geng Shudan took the elevator up and arrived at the client's door after a while.After ringing the doorbell, the person who opened the door was not Mrs. Li, but a young woman. She was Mrs. Li's daughter-in-law, Sun Li.Today is Monday, a working day. Sun Li was supposed to go to work, but she was not feeling well, so she asked for leave to rest at home.

"Mr. Geng?" Sun Li glanced at the two people outside the door, maintaining a certain politeness on her face, but her eyes were completely vigilant for a liar.

The hostess is quite well-bred, but she is obviously a very normal and ordinary person, and she doesn't believe in the theory of supernatural powers.

"Hello, I'm Geng Shudan, and I'm here at the request of Mrs. Li." Geng Shudan has seen this kind of situation a lot, and when faced with this kind of person who treats him as a liar, he is calm and calm.

Fang Xia glanced at Geng Shudan, feeling admiration for him for the first time.She was regarded as a liar by others, but she was still so calm, she must have a thick skin.

Sun Li frowned slightly, a little displeased with Geng Shudan's ignorance, "About the entrustment..."

"Sun Li, is Master Geng here?" The old lady's voice came from behind, with a distinct accent, interrupting Sun Li's plan.She originally wanted to drive these two away first, and then go back to coax the old lady.But now that the old lady came out by herself, she couldn't chase people away in front of her anymore, so she had to open the half-closed door sideways and let Geng Shudan and Fang Xia enter the room.

Fang Xia had just changed his shoes, and the slightly hunched and thin old lady Li in front of her was already pulling Geng Shudan, and muttered in her accented words, "My son and his daughter-in-law have been married for more than a year. Well, I haven't had a baby yet..."

What Mrs. Li told Geng Shudan was similar to what Geng Shudan told Fang Xia before.Mrs. Li's wife passed away a few years ago, and his son brought her from his hometown to T City after the Chinese New Year for the convenience of taking care of her.Mrs. Li lived here for a week. Several times at night, she dreamed that a baby boy was crying. She thought it was her grandson who had not yet been reincarnated. I have looked for a lot of masters to see, but it has been to no avail.

"I dreamed that the child was crying again last night!" Sitting on the sofa, Fang Xia casually took an apple from the fruit plate on the coffee table and gnawed on it, looking at the old lady Li who was sitting opposite, holding Geng Shudan's arm , looking at him eagerly, "Master Geng, please take a look, is there anything unclean in this room?"

This old lady Li is not really a wicked mother-in-law, but she is simply worried that her son has no children yet, and she is very superstitious, but her starting point is still thinking about her children.She is not a strong person, but for some reason, she is very persistent about having unclean things in the house, to the point of being stubborn.

Geng Shudan asked Mrs. Li to describe the appearance of the child in her dream carefully. While Mrs. Li was recalling and describing to Geng Shudan, Sun Li brought the brewed tea, put four cups of tea on the coffee table, and The tray was conveniently placed on the compartment under the coffee table, and he sat down on the single sofa next to Mrs. Li with a helpless expression.

"It's just a little baby boy, only a few months old, crying so badly, it's so pitiful." Mrs. Li said.

"Where is that baby boy in your dream?" Geng Shudan asked.

"I can't see this clearly, it seems to be locked somewhere, it's dark." Mrs. Li thought for a while, and then said, "Oh, by the way, that child seems to be suffocated. His face turned purple."

Geng Shudan tapped his fingers on his knee, and said to Mrs. Li, "Take me around the house."

"Hey, good! Good!" Mrs. Li responded repeatedly, and stood up following Geng Shudan.

"Mom!" Sun Li shouted with some dissatisfaction.

"Don't make a noise, let the master take a look." Mrs. Li said, and took Geng Shudan to the nearest guest room.

Sun Li pressed her temple with a headache, and then looked at Fang Xia who stood up and was about to follow Geng Shudan.

"Little brother, can we discuss it?" Sun Li stood up and held Fang Xia.

"Huh?" Fang Xia put his hands in his trouser pockets, and looked back at her sideways.

Sun Li glanced in the direction of the guest room, and carefully lowered her voice, "Let that Mr. Geng tell my mother that the unclean things in the room have already gone, and I will double the fee for you."

"The old lady has invited many experts before, have you mentioned this suggestion to those experts?" Fang Xia asked.

"I mentioned it, they did the same. It's just that my mother had that dream again later, so she didn't believe what those people said." Sun Li sighed, "But this time it's different. Mr. Geng seems to be quite famous. My mother I trust him very much. As for my mother’s dream, it should be because she was not used to the strange environment, and she was nervous, so she always had that kind of nightmare. After two days, when my husband is free, we will take her to the big hospital. The doctor prescribed some tranquilizing medicine."

"Okay, I'll help you talk about it." However, it's none of Geng Shudan's business whether he obeys or not.

Sun Li breathed a sigh of relief, while Geng Shudan had already followed Mrs. Li out of the guest room and walked to the master bedroom.At this moment, there was a movement at the door. Fang Xia followed Sun Li and looked towards the entrance. A young man in a black suit walked in with a briefcase.

As soon as the man entered the living room, his brows frowned, and his originally cold face suddenly became sharp.

"Who are you?" The man glanced at Fang Xia, and landed on Geng Shudan who was standing at the door of the master bedroom, and asked in a cold voice.
