Chapter 1: Ten Years

Ten years is not a very short time, for human life, ten years can make a child grow up, and it can also make an adult old. However, ten years has a special meaning for Shu Yao. In ten years, she has become more mature, and her Dao method has become more profound, and the Soft Water Technique has reached the early stage of the second layer, but she has not been able to break through for a long time. However, Shu Yao was not in a hurry, because even if it was her master, the mysterious woman was only in the early stage of the third layer of the Roujue, and even so, in Shu Yao's eyes, this mysterious master was already powerful.

Ten years later, Shu Yao's own "company" business is becoming more and more prosperous, and his fame is getting bigger and bigger, naturally, the fame mentioned here is just in the circle, as a guardian, the elimination of alien spirits is not always understood by most people in this world, so sometimes the guardians have to silently hide their tracks, seriously, they are the greatest profession in the world, nothing to do with reputation, just for that little thought, of course, if at the same time, can earn a lot of money, then naturally can't ask for it. Shu Yao did not refuse this matter, not to mention, the guardian is also a human being, and he also has to survive in this world, if the elimination of alien spirits is free, then who will bear her life?

Five years ago, Shu Yao's mysterious master disappeared again, this time she disappeared completely, and never came back, if it wasn't for the little induction between master and apprentice, Shu Yao would probably think that the master had an accident, but she knew, no, not only, Shu Yao can be sure that the master at this time must be doing well, so good that he forgot about his cheap apprentice.

This morning, when Shu Yao walked into his company, as usual, watering the orchids on his desk, there was a knock on the door outside. The knock on the door was so soft that it was almost inaudible, and the person knocking on the door must have been very shy. Shu Yao thought that almost all customers were like this, the alien spirit was an incomprehensible thing to them, they didn't believe that this evil thing could be destroyed, but they had to make all kinds of efforts, sometimes, Shu Yao was often treated as a magic stick, but when people were desperate, even if it was a god stick, they could only believe unconditionally, didn't it? Shu Yao smiled knowingly and gently opened the door, ten years of youth did not leave any traces on her face, but made Shu Yao more and more beautiful.

"Hello, miss, I hope I didn't bother you, right?" A twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man stood shyly in front of the door, probably seeing that Shu Yao was actually a woman, and when Shu Yao looked at him, he was even more shy.

"No, please come in" Shu Yao smiled slightly.

"Excuse me, is Haitian Monk here?" As soon as the young man walked into the office, he looked at him suspiciously, and then asked cautiously.

"I'm just, let's say, what's the matter, I'm charging by the hour here," Shu Yao said unceremoniously.

"You are?" The young man looked at Shu Yao seriously, as if he didn't believe it.

"You must be wondering, why did such a young girl come out to be a god, right?" Shu Yao smiled helplessly, the truth is like this, I have met a few times before, the first time we met, everyone didn't understand, it was inevitable that there would be such thoughts.

"Oh, no, of course not" The young man hurriedly waved his hand, but his face became redder and redder, and he said no, but the expression betrayed his true thoughts.

"What do you call it?" Shu Yao said casually, except for a few high-level alien spirits, there is nothing in this city that will make Shu Yao feel embarrassed, but how can high-level alien spirits be so easy to encounter, you know, there are almost no mortals with mana in this city, and mortals can become the lowest-level alien spirits after making it is already very remarkable, unless it is like Shu Yao himself, who has a good mana in front of him, or has suffered some extremely painful treatment when he dies, otherwise this situation is not possible at all. But over the years, with the dissipation of the aura of heaven and earth, it is difficult for the guardians to see, let alone other people with high-level Dao methods, and although there are all kinds of ugly things happening every day in the current society, compared with the war years, it has been much better, and it has become a particularly difficult thing for high-level alien spirits to appear. As far as Shu Yao knew, if there were still high-level alien spirits, then they must have been created during the war years, but how could this kind of alien spirit be easily encountered? So in general, Shu Yao's work is very easy, so easy that she feels embarrassed, just like the young man standing in front of her now, in Shu Yao's eyes, is a patron who comes to send money, so already, the rest, Shu Yao will not have any interest.

"My name is Fang Qian, this is my business card" Beauties are always lethal, Fang Qian did not feel any unhappiness about Shu Yao's attitude, but hurriedly handed over his business card.

"Journalists?" Shu Yao raised her head, her impression of reporters has always been not very good.

"Please don't get me wrong, I'm not here to interview anything, but, I do have something I want to ask you for help with" Fang Qian saw that Shu Yao's expression was wrong, and immediately said.

"Who introduced you?" Shu Yao didn't answer, just asked rhetorically. For example, the next time a relative or friend encounters something similar, he will introduce them to Shu Yao, and only such a customer will dare to accept it, otherwise, if the other party is unknown, Shu Yao will never work, because they may be a trap for a government organization to catch a magic stick, or an attempt to blackmail, which is almost a practice of all guardians.

"I don't know his name, but he said you'd help me." Fang Qian was at a loss.

"So, can you describe him to me?"

"Well, it's a young man, I think he should be younger than me, but he has a temperament that makes me feel like I'm very old, I don't know how to describe it, as for his appearance, I'm sorry, I don't know how to describe it, because now I've completely forgotten" The young man also realized that his answer was too bad, and smiled embarrassedly after saying that.

"In that case, I don't think I can really help you, please forgive me" Shu Yao shook his head, it wasn't that he didn't believe what the young man said, but what the young man said didn't make sense at all. How could a person who looked younger than him know her identity? In Shu Yao's mind, there had never been such a customer, that is, the young man was not introduced by any of the customers she had come into contact with before. Moreover, Fang Qian actually said that he had forgotten the appearance of the other party, such a clumsy lie, if you had seen a person, you might not be able to describe the appearance of the other party, but you would definitely not forget what the other party looked like.

"No, no, please don't refuse me, I can give you money, lots and lots of money" Fang Qianma said.

"Do you have a lot of money?" Shu Yao sneered, she had already characterized Fang Qian as a liar in her heart.

"Of course, I inherited a large inheritance, and to be honest, journalism is just my personal interest, in fact, if I don't do anything, I won't worry about making a living in this life," Fang Qian affirmed.

"I said, I can't help you" Shu Yao's impression of Fang Qian was extremely bad, although she couldn't see any flaws in Fang Qian's expression, but she thought that it must be because Fang Qian was too good at acting.

"Wait, don't be too busy refusing, that young man still entrusts you with something" Out of professional sensitivity, Fang Qian had already seen Shu Yao's impatience.

"I don't know the young man you're talking about, and he shouldn't have anything to hand over...... Well? Before Shu Yao could finish speaking, she stopped, because she saw that Fang Qian still solemnly took out a rag from her bag with that shy expression.

This rag is not complete, Shu Yao can see very clearly, it should be torn from a whole piece of clothing, because the outline of the surrounding area is very irregular, as if under a very savage and violent force, the clothes are broken into pieces, and this rag is only one of them. In terms of color, the rag itself should be white, but it seems to have been left for a long time, and time has made it dirty.
