Lv Qianli had a favor to ask and her smile was breathtakingly beautiful, with a hint of femininity that didn't quite match her personality.

She was deliberately trying to please me.

I said in a deep voice, "Miss Lv, you can just say what you need. There's no need to please me."

I considered Lv Xiulin a friend, and I would never take advantage of his daughter. Lv Qianli really didn't need to please me.

Lv Qianli was taken aback, but she quickly recovered and smiled again as she tied up her hair. "Master Li, you truly are a master. I'll get straight to the point. I want to find my biological father, but I don't want my...Lv boss to know."

Biological father? The man Huang Yawen had an affair with?

I thought to myself that it was reasonable for Lv Qianli to want to find her biological father, but since he had betrayed Lv Xiulin, I needed to be cautious.

I asked, "Your family has great power and influence. Why don't you just find him yourself?"

Lv Qianli gave a bitter smile. "My father, no, Lv boss is already looking for him. He's so angry that he definitely won't let my biological father off easy. I want to find him first."

"You want to save your biological father?"

"No, I just want to save my mother." Lv Qianli shook her head, her eyes filled with confusion, but then she steeled herself. "My mother has left Dongjiang. She asked me to stay in the Lv family as a spy. She'll be back in two years, and the person who set up the formation will return with her."

"That's when the real trouble for your family will begin. I don't want to see that happen, but my mother won't listen to me. I want my biological father to persuade her, and while he's doing that, he can escape and spend his later years in peace with my mother." Lv Qianli's eyes began to redden, revealing her inner anguish.

Just a day ago, she was still the heiress of the Lv family, a powerful woman in Dongjiang, but now she was the daughter of a woman who had betrayed her husband and was not treated well by Lv boss. Although Lv young master was protecting her, she would definitely be looked down upon by the Lv family in the future.

To put it bluntly, she was living under someone else's roof and had lost all her power and wealth.

I felt some sympathy for her and thought she was kind-hearted for still thinking about Huang Yawen at this time.

"Miss Lv," I probed, "if the person who set up the formation returns, your mother may regain power and you could inherit the Lv family and enjoy wealth and honor."

Lv Qianli shook her head. "That's against morality. I couldn't do something like that. Besides, I believe you can defeat the person who set up the formation. If my mother comes back, she'll only meet her doom."

I fell silent, debating whether to help Lv Qianli or not.

Seeing my hesitation, Lv Qianli added, "I'll give you two million yuan. That's all the money I have left. As long as you find my biological father, I'll make sure he and my mother live in peace and never return to the Lv family!"

"What if your biological father doesn't listen?"

This time, it was Lv Qianli's turn to fall silent. She lowered her head, lost in thought, and suddenly burst into tears, releasing all the pent-up emotions of recent days.

I frowned and said, "Don't cry. I'll help you find him, but you have to listen to me. And if your biological father is a bad person, I'll hand him over to Lv boss."

I was being generous, but I wouldn't blindly follow my heart. If Lv Qianli's biological father was a bad person, he had to be handed over to Lv boss.

Lv Qianli had no choice but to nod vigorously.

I didn't say much more. I reached out to touch her hair. She was startled and moved away, saying, "Master Li..."

"Relax, I just need to take a strand of your hair as a medium for finding people." I explained, observing the hairline above her temples.

Lv Qianli quickly moved closer again and allowed me to touch her hair.

My fingers slid along her hairline and finally settled on the top of her left forehead, above the temple. I pulled out a small clump of hair with some force.

Lv Qianli winced in pain but didn't cry out. She just pressed her lips tightly together.

I rolled the hair into a coil and placed it on the table. "Okay, now go buy some yellow paper, cinnabar, ink, and a brush. If you don't know where to buy them, ask Wang Dong."

"Okay!" Lv Qianli nodded respectfully. "But Master Li, why did you pull hair from here?"

"Hair has a spiritual essence. Scientifically speaking, your hair DNA is the same as your biological father's. According to our feng shui practices, it's called 'divine light induction' or 'father-daughter connection.' As for why I pulled hair from the top of your left forehead, it's based on an ancient feng shui saying: 'Left Yin and Right Yang, Yin and Yang govern the parents'..."

Lv Qianli listened with a puzzled expression and thanked me again before leaving.

Not long after, Wang Dong came in.

As soon as he saw me, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Li, you scared me to death. I've been waiting for you for a long time. I've drunk all the tea at Miss Lv's house."

He gave a mysterious smile and said, "Guess what Miss Lv just did to me?"

"What?"

"She added me on WeChat! I can't believe it, she took the initiative to add me! It's still fresh!" Wang Dong's face turned red, feeling like his luck with the opposite sex was really coming!

I chuckled and pointed to the door: "Miss Lv is listening."

Wang Dong turned around and saw Lv Qianli at the door, waiting.

"Miss Lv, you rest first. I'll take care of Brother Li!" Wang Dong patted his chest, showing his masculinity.

Lv Qianli nodded and said, "Mr. Wang, I want to buy some things. I've sent a list to you on WeChat. Can you buy them according to the list?"

"Ah? Okay, okay, I'll definitely buy them!" Wang Dong's mouth curved into a smile as he took out his phone to check WeChat and read, "Yellow paper, cinnabar, brush... Aren't these what Brother Li usually uses?"

I laughed, and Lv Qianli gave a sheepish smile: "It's for Master Li. I don't know where to buy them, so I'm asking you for help."

Wang Dong's face fell as he realized why Lv Qianli had added him on WeChat. She had treated him like a runner.

He nodded with a bitter face, knowing his luck with the opposite sex had vanished again, but since the beauty had entrusted him with a task, he quickly went to buy the things.

When he came back with the purchases, I was already able to move. I walked around a few circles and felt much better.

This was all thanks to the pocket watch. As soon as I moved my Taiqing Qi, the evil qi in the pocket watch would enter my body. You know, we Taiqing cultivate Yin, and this evil qi was like a tonic, which felt extremely good.

"Brother Li, everything is ready. What do you need these for?" Wang Dong arranged the things and asked curiously.

Lv Qianli also stood beside him, looking tense.

I stretched my arms, ground some cinnabar ink, grabbed the brush and looked at Lv Qianli: "Miss Lv, I'm different from ordinary feng shui masters, and I don't cultivate the right path either. So, my method of finding people isn't very sunshine."

"What does that mean?" Wang Dong was curious.

"Those who cultivate the right path use Yang to find people, while we Taiqing use Yin. To put it simply, the method I use is to find ghosts." I explained briefly.

Lv Qianli was shocked: "My biological father is dead?"

"That's not what I meant. Everyone is born with Yin and Yang. Your biological father also has Yin qi, which I can treat as a ghost. I hope you don't mind."

"It's okay, please continue." Lv Qianli heaved a sigh of relief.

I didn't say much more. I dipped the brush in cinnabar ink, drew a Yin-seeking talisman, and nourished it with Taiqing Qi for a few moments.

Then I burned Lv Qianli's hair, letting the ashes fall on the Yin-seeking talisman.

Suddenly, the Yin-seeking talisman emitted a chill.

Wang Dong sneezed: "Why did it suddenly get cold?"

I told him not to interrupt and called Lv Qianli over: "Cut your middle finger and drip a drop of blood on the talisman."

Lv Qianli did as she was told.

The Yin qi on the Yin-seeking talisman became stronger.

I performed the final step, burning the Yin-seeking talisman while chanting: "Heaven and earth as guides, Yin qi showing the way, urgent as the law commands, go!"

As soon as I finished chanting, the Yin-seeking talisman burned completely, turning into a black qi that circled in front of me before flying out the window.

Only I could see this black qi. Wang Dong and Lv Qianli were still clueless and didn't know what was going on.

I walked outside: "Let's go after the Yin-seeking talisman."

Wang Dong and Lv Qianli looked at each other, but they didn't hesitate when they saw my eagerness. They quickly went to get the car.

Wang Dong drove, and I gave directions. The three of us weaved through the streets, finally arriving at the most prosperous area of the city, Tianzi District.

The black qi hovered in the air for a moment before heading south towards Tianzi District.

I told Wang Dong to drive that way.

Lv Qianli was nervous and confused the whole time, not saying a word.

Finally, the black qi stopped, hovering above a luxurious KTV and then plunging downwards, disappearing inside the KTV.

"Huangchao KTV? This is the biggest KTV in Dongjiang. The boss is Chen Shengfei, the big brother of Dongjiang's entertainment industry. He owns more than ten dance halls, pool halls, and foot massage parlors!" Wang Dong peered out the window.

As a contractor, he had worked on many large projects and knew many people.

"Let's go inside and look for him. Maybe Lv Qianli's biological father came here to sing," I said as I got out of the car.

Lv Qianli finally asked me, "Master Li, what are we following?"

"The Yin-seeking talisman. You won't be able to see it. Just follow me," I said as I walked inside.

Wang Dong rubbed his hands and followed: "I haven't sung karaoke in a long time. Should we have some fun first?"

"If we find my biological father, I'll invite ten girls to sing with Mr. Wang," Lv Qianli offered generously, making Wang Dong so happy that he couldn't find north, but he insisted on acting like a gentleman: "Miss Lv, am I that kind of person? There's only one woman in my heart, and that's..."

"Let's go inside," Lv Qianli interrupted, focusing on the main task.

Soon, we entered Huangchao KTV. There were three floors in total, with many corridors and dim flashing lights, making it easy to get lost for those who weren't regulars.

Fortunately, I could sense the Yin-seeking talisman and led the way to the third floor, walking along the corridor.

Halfway there, we were stopped by a waiter who said that beyond this point was the office area and guests weren't allowed to go further.

Lv Qianli directly revealed her identity: "I'm the manager of Lvshi Group. I'm here to see your boss. He's expecting me."

The waiter looked at Lv Qianli's beautiful and cold appearance and didn't stop her. He probably thought the boss was really expecting her.

We smoothly made our way inside and walked to the end.

I looked up and saw a sign on the door at the end of the corridor that read "Manager's Office."

"It's inside. Are you ready?" I looked at Lv Qianli.

Lv Qianli pursed her lips and pushed open the door.
