Chapter 317 - 317 316 Could it be
?Chapter 317: Chapter 316: Could it be? Chapter 317: Chapter 316: Could it be? Back at the home at the foot of the mountain, Luo Ning didn’t go back to her apartment; instead, she stayed put.
After taking a bath, she returned to her bedroom and then video-called Lu Xun.
Lu Xun had just finished his bath as well, his hair damp and casually tousled, adding a touch of unruly allure to his appearance.
With those deep eyes, he carried an extra bit of brazen charm.
Nestled comfortably on the soft sofa, Luo Ning said, “There’s something I need your help with, Minister Lu.”
Lu Xun was wearing a silk pajama, with the top two buttons undone, looking very sexy.
His eyes and brows carried a rare touch of languor, “If Teacher Luo needs help, I must see it done well.”
It was Luo Ning’s first time seeing him like this, feeling that he was really quite appealing, and very seductive.
She chuckled lightly, “I haven’t even said it yet! What if it puts you in a difficult position?”
Lu Xun’s pleasant voice spilled from his lips, his eyes filled with doting as if they could melt someone, “As long as it concerns you, no matter how difficult, I have to handle it well.”
Luo Ning’s heart tickled like it was brushed with a feather, “Lu, you are so good!”
Lu Xun’s eyes were unguarded with affection when he looked at Luo Ning, “It’s only for you.”
Luo Ning’s face heated up, this guy was becoming more and more enticing, a real heartthrob.
“Then let me thank you in advance.”
She then recounted the events she encountered that day.
“So I was hoping you could help me by looking into Luo Xinxin’s background; I feel there’s more to her.”
Lu Xun nodded, “No problem, I’ll look into it and let you know soon.”
With the background of the Lu family and his status as a minister, investigating someone wouldn’t take much time.
Luo Ning’s smile was radiant, “Okay, I’ll wait for you!”
Seeing her smile, Lu Xun’s heart softened immensely, he truly wanted to hold her and kiss her.
He restrained the thought that arose, “See you in a bit!”
“See you in a bit!” Luo Ning waved her hand at him.
After hanging up the video call, Luo Ning took out a bag from the cupboard, previously bought to hold Feng Shui Xuan Shu tools;
her mother had helped bring it over from the apartment earlier.
From the bag, she took out two pieces of red paper and cut them into a male and a female paper figure.
She wrote Bo Xiangxiang’s and Feng Yuhao’s birthdates on them respectively.
With a talisman pen, she drew a marriage talisman around the two paper figures, then tied them together with a red string.
She placed a bowl filled with water on the table, then rubbed the talisman causing it to spontaneously ignite.
However, when it was half burned, the talisman suddenly extinguished, and the characters on the talisman with Bo Xiangxiang’s birthdate began to slowly fade away.
Watching the unfinished, failed talisman, Luo Ning was neither surprised nor disappointed.
She mused, “Just as expected, it still needs to consume some luck, but it’s almost there.”
She had drawn the marriage talisman to bind Bo Xiangxiang’s and Feng Yuhao’s birthdates together.
Both having affections for each other, they were likely to become even more attracted, potentially leading to marriage.
Although it had failed now, the two were likely to become even closer soon.
Once Bo Xiangxiang’s luck was further consumed, she would draw another marriage talisman, and the pair could likely step into matrimony.
Luo Ning relit the remaining half of the paper; this time, without Bo Xiangxiang’s birthdate, it burned smoothly into ashes and dissolved into the water.
After a while, her phone rang, a video call from Lu Xun.
She picked up her phone and walked over to sit on the couch before finally answering the call.
Lu Xun’s handsome face appeared on the screen, looking good from every angle.
Luo Ning asked, “Has Minister Lu already found out?”
Lu Xun nodded with a smile, “I have found out.”
“Luo Xinxin, a girl from a side branch of the ancient Fengshui Family of the Luo Family, just transferred to the Imperial Capital, previously residing in Nanhai City.”
“Although her family is a side branch, they manage the Luo Family’s business, with assets several times more than those of the Feng Family and the Gou Family combined.”
“The Luo Family belongs to the top-tier wealthy clans of the south, with the main branch residing on an island.”
Lu Xun added, “The Luo Family holds significant influence in the Southern Ocean area, highly sought after by the wealthy of Hua Country there.”
“They also own a significant amount of property on Xiang Island. Feng Shui Masters from the Luo Family’s main branch are esteemed guests of the top tycoons there, and similarly, they are highly sought after.”
“This also explains why Luo Xinxin would have a high-level talisman.”
Luo Ning furrowed her brows, “This Luo Family you’re speaking of, I was completely unaware of its existence before, and it seems I have never offended them.”
So why would that Luo Xinxin want to harm their family?
Lu Xun thought for a moment and said, “Could it be related to your father?”
Luo Ning’s father was a rather mysterious figure; even the special department couldn’t find out his real identity.
They only knew that he appeared in the city where Luo Ning was born in his twenties, then met Luo Ning’s mother, got married, and had children.
His identity and news from over twenty years ago were a blank slate.
He had used his connections in the Lu Family to investigate, but found nothing.
It seems that Daddy Luo’s identity after his appearance was false.
Hearing Lu Xun say this, Luo Ning was not surprised and murmured softly, “Could it be?”
She didn’t know the true origins of her father’s identity either.
Her father never voluntarily talked about his family, and she had never seen relatives like grandparents.
As a child, she had asked, and her father’s response was that his family lived far away, and he didn’t want to go back, otherwise, he might not be able to return.
Because of this, she and her brother feared that if their father went out, he might not be able to return, so they never inquired about their father’s family again.
In fact, knowing beforehand that Luo Xinxin shared the surname Luo and seeing the method of talisman drawing somewhat resembled the style from a family talisman book her father had, she had her suspicions.
“It’s not impossible.”
Luo Ning looked up and said, “My father is very skilled in Feng Shui Mystical Technique, and this Luo Family is also a Fengshui Family; perhaps my father could really be from this family.”
“Can you help me investigate the Luo Family further?”
She added, “If the information on the Luo Family is rather confidential and of a classified level, then don’t worry about it.”
She wasn’t particularly interested in the Luo Family, but she wanted to find her father, which was a significant clue.
Especially as many things connected, she increasingly felt that her father might indeed be from this Luo Family.
The main branch of the Luo Family lived on an island, and her father disappeared after going out to sea and never returned.
Could this mean that her father had gone home?
As a child, her father had said that if he went back to his own home, he might not be able to return to their home.
That could explain why her father never came back.
She was eager to know the clues about her father, which meant she must understand this Luo Family.
Lu Xun said, “I have already checked the information on the Luo Family as well.”
Once he suspected that Daddy Luo was from the Luo Family, he guessed that Luo Ning would place great importance on and want to understand this Luo Family, so he investigated them together.
