Yu'er in Old Master Fang's mouth was his second wife, Han Yuxiang, a disciple of the Anxiang Gate and a beauty of her generation. She had originally been privately betrothed to her senior fellow apprentice, but somehow ended up marrying the old lecher Fang Junru, who was nearly thirty years older than herself. Of course, these things were told to me by Xu Shiwei much later on.

  "What! Disciple!" I was shocked, my jaw almost dropped. The white-haired and chicken-skinned Old Man Fang was actually a disciple of Xu Shiwei. Hmm... no wonder when Old Man Fang saw Ge Fei before, he was so respectful, asking questions and answering them. But how old is Old Man Fang now? When did he become Xu Shiwei's disciple? If I'm not mistaken, Xu Shiwei should be 26 years old now, how can he be Old Man Fang's master?

  Xu Shiwei saw how shocked I was and gave me a rare, sidelong glance: "What's with the shock? Master's abilities aren't based on age, but real skill, got it?"

  At this moment, Old Master Fang was still being spun around by him. Little Fang stared blankly at Old Master Fang spinning like a top and nodded thoughtfully: "Junru calls him Shifu, I call him Gege, hmm...I'm not at a disadvantage either."

  I think if Master Fang continues to spin like this, his life will be gone. Although Xu Shiwei is his master, he can't treat the old man like this. I quickly stopped Xu Shiwei: "Hey, hey! Stop spinning, or he'll lose his life!"

  Xu Shiwei was probably annoyed by me, so he shook off Old Man Fang and pretended to be ashamed, stepping forward to pat Old Man Fang's shoulder and saying with great concern: "Sorry about that, I forgot you're old, are you okay? Do you feel dizzy or lightheaded or have muscle cramps? Do you want some calcium supplements?"

  Old Fang shook his head with a bitter smile, and a hint of fear flickered in the depths of his eyes: "Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong..."

  Old Fang hadn't finished speaking when Xu Shiwei pushed him away, turned to me and said: "You see, he says he's fine, this old man is just stubborn, won't die!"

  I really want to tell him, "Don't say you know me?" Xu Shiwei and Ge Fei are completely incomparable. Ge Fei would never do something so despicable, while Xu Shiwei is exactly that kind of disgusting second-generation rich kid, just like Li whatever's type! Originally I didn't have a good impression of Xu Shiwei, now I'm even more disgusted with him.

  I gave him a dirty look: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Don't you have something to ask the old man?"

  As soon as I said that, Xu Shiwei finally got to the point. He slowly walked over to the chair beside him and sat down, looking at Old Man Fang with a serious expression: "Old man, I'm asking you, when did He Mengyan arrive?"

  Old Master Fang sat down with his hands on his waist, his voice full of vicissitudes: "It's been some days since I came back, and it was only recently that I discovered her abnormality."

  "Do you know who caused my father's car accident back then? It was her! You said you couldn't even tell she's a monster!" Xu Shiwei's fingers tapped lightly on the table, his face looking very unpleasant.

  Old Master Fang's weathered face was full of grievance: "I... I... My cultivation isn't as high as hers, so naturally I couldn't see it."

  Xu Shiwei gave Old Man Fang a cold and distant look before continuing to ask, "In these five years, that person... hasn't caused me any trouble, has he?"

  "No." Old Master Fang didn't dare say another word and only weakly replied.

  I knew he was talking about Ge Fei, humph, how could Ge Fei possibly cause trouble for him, it's his annoying personality that would get him into trouble!

  Of course, I can only say this in my heart. He looks like a person with no manners, what if he hits me? I won't be able to hit him back anyway.

  "That's good." Xǔ Shì's serious face suddenly changed, and he nodded thoughtfully: "Is there any clue about the Food Spirit?"

  Old Master Fang shook his head with a dim gaze: "No, it seems like there hasn't been any movement in these years, except for that one time..."

  As he spoke, his eyes fell on me, and he hesitated as if wanting to say something.

  Xu Shiwei looked at me and frowned, saying, "It's okay, just say what you want."

  "Just... previously, when that girl and... that person came, they said they saw Zhi Ling, it seems that the Food Spirit and our family's Zhi Ling have a relationship." Up to this point, Old Master Fang's eyes were filled with tears again.

  Xu Shiwei was slightly embarrassed: "Your daughter... I let her out, I don't know how she ended up there either, it's just that... at the time I needed a strong resentment to break through the seal of the photo album. The resentment there is heavy."

  "How's Zhi Ling doing?" As soon as he mentioned his daughter, Old Man Fang was just an ordinary father.

  When Old Master Fang asked about this, I saw a flicker of hesitation in Xu Shiwei's eyes, and then he put on his usual nonchalant expression: "She's been reincarnated, and before she left, she told me to take good care of myself, said something like 'sorry' to you, and that she'd be your daughter again in the next life... how cheesy."

  Xu Shiwei's response was somewhat unexpected, I originally thought he would cruelly reveal the truth. Upon hearing that Fang Zhiling had gone to reincarnate, Old Master Fang nodded with tears streaming down his face: "Zhiling left in pain, and who knows which heartless wolf did such a cruel thing to her? Alas, I hope she can be reborn into a good family next life and live an ordinary life."

  After finishing, Old Master Fang paused for a moment and asked: "What about Zhi Pan? Have you seen her, Meng Yan... That demon said that our family's Zhi Pan is doing very well, I thought... But unexpectedly it was a demon..."

  Xu Shiwei slammed the table and said in a vivid tone, "Your family's Fang Zhi is even more worry-free. You know that her skills are far superior to yours. Now she's going around catching monsters with her husband! I reckon she must have offended that snake demon, which is why it ran to your house. Alas, fortunately, your old mansion has a stabilizing effect, otherwise you'd be dead by now."

  Here is the translation:

  "Well, your daughter is much more capable than you. I reckon she's too ashamed to see you, so she doesn't dare come back. Don't worry, old man, she'll figure it out herself and definitely come back."

  Before this, Xu Shiwei was absolutely a despicable and shameless scoundrel in my heart.

  Old Master Fang's face, streaked with tears, broke into a smile: "As long as you're doing well... I can rest easy... Otherwise, I'd die without knowing how to explain things to Yu'er."

  Yu'er in Old Master Fang's mouth was his second wife, Han Yuxiang, a disciple of the Anxiang Gate and a beauty of her generation. She had originally been privately betrothed to her senior fellow disciple, but somehow ended up marrying the old lecher Fang Junru, who was nearly thirty years older than herself. Of course, these things were told to me by Xu Shiwei much later on.

  Looking at Old Man Fang's melancholy expression, I hesitated for a long time before speaking up: "Old Man Fang, where did you encounter Ge Fei's spirit previously?"

  Mr. Fang's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he turned to look at Xu Shiwei, who shrugged his hands in helplessness, also indicating that Mr. Fang could speak.

  Old Master Fang narrowed his eyes, seemingly recalling something. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "That day was during the snowfall, I slipped and fell, and was sent to the hospital. On the way to the hospital, I saw a hearse with a ghost following behind it. You all know that when people are weak, they're most likely to see unclean things. The soul looked familiar, I thought it was Master, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't. Then I remembered what Master said about his emotional spirit, and I thought of ways to capture it. After getting bandaged at the hospital, I returned home and called Master... but on his way here, he got into a car accident, followed by a series of accidents, and his body was controlled by an independent emotional spirit for five years."

  According to Fang Lao's words, Ge Fei originally appeared on the Lingche in Chengdu, but at that time, Ge Fei was not even working in Chengdu. No... After Ge Fei died, his soul was forcibly inserted into Xu Shiwei's body by Fang Lao, but Ge Fei's body was never found, where did it go? And wasn't he a ghost? Logically speaking, he shouldn't have had a body, so where did his body come from? I'm getting more and more confused, people say that the more you understand, the more you realize how ignorant you are, it's exactly this principle.

  If... Ge Fei's body was in that hearse, then even if it was burned, there would still be ashes left. Uncle Ge and Auntie Ge disappeared overnight, could it be... they took Ge Fei away?

  As soon as I met Ge Fei's matter, I couldn't calm down and hastily asked Old Man Fang: "Do you know where that hearse went?"

  Mr. Fang shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, I only remember that when I saw the hearse, it was probably around Guangfu Bridge Street."

  "Guangfu Bridge Street! Is it around here, next to Gaosheng Bridge? Actually, asking is a bit redundant, as the only street around here called Guangfu Bridge is the one next to Gaosheng Bridge. Anyway, it's close by, so if I'm in this area, I can go out and look for clues, maybe even find Ge Fei's body. I feel like I'm going crazy, always having unrealistic ideas."

  Old Master Fang nodded heavily as he looked at me: "Yes, it's the section next to Gaosheng Bridge."

  I wanted to go to Guangfu Bridge at the time, but that damn Xu Shiwei insisted on staying for lunch before leaving. He ate slowly and dragged it out, filling me with anger but unable to do anything about it. Since he wouldn't leave, I couldn't drag him away either. And I couldn't just leave myself - with my own abilities, there was no way to investigate further. These kinds of things require not only connections, but also money; without giving some benefits, who would be willing to help you? In this bustling metropolis, most people are cold-blooded.

  When we came out of Fang's house, it was already after noon. The sun was scorching hot and the sky was a pale blue, but not quite blue enough. Chengdu's sky has always been gray and hazy, with few opportunities to see a clear blue sky with white clouds.

  However, I have seen him several times before. The previous few times were all with Ge Fei together, and I always felt that in the last second, Ge Fei was still by my side, but in the next second, he disappeared.

  Walking through the long alley, I felt a bit depressed, and Xu Shiwei seemed to be in deep thought as well, not saying a word, forming a stark contrast with his excitement this morning.

  When they reached Guangfu Bridge, Xu Shiwei suddenly spoke up: "You're so eager to find him back... am I not good enough?"

  I find his words laughable, to me he's just a stranger, at most a familiar-looking stranger. I crossed my arms and looked up at him: "Even if you were the complete you, there's no comparison between you two, just like Jiang Man Yun is just a stranger to him, but to you, she's your childhood sweetheart."

  "Are you jealous?" Xǔ Shì Wéi said with a sly smile.

  I really can't understand him, trying to hold back my temper and patiently explaining: "I was just making an analogy, nothing else." After a pause, I asked him again: "You have such a big grudge against He Mengyan, but why... in your file, you two are very close."

  I think Ge Fei initially had that kind of attitude towards He Mengyan, and the term "athletic girl" was randomly shouted out from Xu Shiwei's file information.

  Xu Shiwei smiled and said: "Some things can't be judged by appearance alone. Just like you see me, you must dislike me, right?"

  I didn't say anything, which was tantamount to acquiescence. I turned and asked him instead: "Now that your soul is complete, in fact, keeping me by your side is still a threat. Why did you say that I can stay by your side? You can continue to pretend to be him. What's the point of being afraid of anyone?" The latest chapter of this book is updated quickly on Baidu search {half}[^ floating ^] {^ life ^}

  "There's a mocking tone in your words." Xǔ Shì Wéi said, one of the rare times he was being serious.

  I shook my head: "No, I'm telling the truth. Your skills are indeed impressive. He didn't have any spiritual power before, but after entering your body, he gained it. And he was a 100% materialist back then. Moreover, even Master Fang has to call you 'Master', just as you said that being a master is not about age but about skill. It's clear that your skills are impressive. So what's the need for keeping me by your side and continuing to pretend to be him in front of outsiders?"

  Xu Shiwei smiled for a moment, his voice carrying three parts of amusement: "It seems you're not as stupid as I thought! You're actually quite clever. Hmm, the person who wants to harm me is indeed the Food Grudge Spirit. However... this Food Grudge Spirit has been possessing humans for many years now, which means it's already a part of someone. My enemy is hidden while I'm in plain sight; I must be cautious."

  He did answer my question, but after talking for half a day, he still didn't get to the point. I was full of doubts: "You've been talking for half a day and haven't mentioned the key point, what does it have to do with you playing along with him?"

  Xu Shiwei's mouth curled up in a bitter smile: "That thing, I suppose you've heard him mention it before, absorbing people's souls to increase their cultivation. He's always been eyeing me covetously, but since my soul is incomplete, he's never made a move. Now do you understand?"

  After hearing Xu Shiwei's words, I was shocked and couldn't speak. At that moment, I regretted asking him, what if the vengeful spirit is nearby...

  "The car is gone, it's all gone!" A sudden shout from the side of the road startled me. I turned my head and saw a man in his 40s with tattered clothes and dirty body, his hair was so dirty that it had become matted into strands, and there was a big black mole on his left cheek. His mouth opened and closed as he spoke in standard Chengdu dialect: "The car is gone! It's all gone..."
