"Ma Xiaoling, are you interested in going out for a walk?"

Su Xuan suddenly proposed to Ma Xiaoling.

Ma Xiaoling was stunned, then nodded.

Although she didn't know what Su Xuan meant by inviting her out for a walk at this time, Su Xuan's actions always had their deep meaning.

Ma Xiaoling didn't mind accompanying Su Xuan for a stroll.

Soon, the two arrived on the street.

On the way, Ma Xiaoling couldn't help but tease Su Xuan, "I thought you would call Zhenzhen along. You are shopping with me behind Zhenzhen's back, aren't you afraid Zhenzhen will misunderstand?"

Although Wang Zhenzhen was Su Xuan's apprentice in name, Ma Xiaoling, as her best friend, knew too well about Wang Zhenzhen's feelings for Su Xuan.

Su Xuan smiled: "The innocent are self-innocent, and I also believe Zhenzhen will not misunderstand."

"Is that so?" Ma Xiaoling's eyes flickered for a while.

Afterward, she didn't say much more and followed Su Xuan to shop.

She had thought Su Xuan would take her to shop in the commercial street.

But Su Xuan went straight to the New Territories.

The New Territories is called the New Territories, but in Hong Kong, it is actually about the same as the countryside. It is not prosperous here, and there are even many shanty towns. Many low-income groups live in this area.

"What are you doing bringing me here?" Ma Xiaoling asked Su Xuan curiously.

Su Xuan said: "It's also because Ma Dingdang is no longer in Hong Kong. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind bringing Ma Dingdang here too."

He said something with an inexplicable meaning.

"Aunt?" Ma Xiaoling's eyes flickered, somewhat puzzled.

Su Xuan smiled and didn't say much more.

Soon, he brought Ma Xiaoling to a dilapidated residential building.

"We're here!"

Su Xuan said indifferently.

Ma Xiaoling became even more curious, "Is there anything unusual here?"

Su Xuan said: "Whether there is anything unusual, you need to observe and judge for yourself."

Ma Xiaoling heard the hidden meaning in Su Xuan's words.

Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Su Xuan to say such things, but at this moment, he happened to say such a thing.

This proved that this place indeed had something unusual.

And so, Ma Xiaoling really observed carefully.

Here, besides the residents living here, there was nothing else.

The scent of daily necessities filled the residential building.

Ma Xiaoling didn't feel there was anything unusual.

This was just an ordinary dilapidated residential building. In this residential building, she didn't feel the slightest resentment or yin energy. In other words, there were no ghosts here.

Just when Ma Xiaoling was about to complain to Su Xuan.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of a guitar.

She was exceptionally familiar with this guitar sound, which made her stunned.

"This piece of music... ~"

"So familiar! I always feel like I've heard it somewhere before."

Ma Xiaoling muttered to herself.

Combined with what Su Xuan said earlier, she could roughly guess that Su Xuan bringing her here today probably had something to do with this piece of music.

"Think slowly, you'll remember it eventually." Su Xuan's deep voice sounded in Ma Xiaoling's ear.

And so Ma Xiaoling became quiet.

She began to think seriously about where she had heard this piece of music.

Soon, she remembered.

To be precise, it wasn't that she had heard this piece of music, but that she had seen the sheet music for this piece, so after hearing it, she subconsciously felt a sense of familiarity.

And the sheet music for this piece originated from her father.

It was a relic left to her by her father.

"This piece of music was composed by my father. Why can the person inside play it? What is his relationship with my father?" Ma Xiaoling couldn't help but ask Su Xuan.

She always felt that Su Xuan might know the answer.

Su Xuan smiled: "If you want to know the answer, why don't you go in and see?"

Ma Xiaoling nodded.

Soon, the two walked into the residential building.

Following the sound of the guitar, Ma Xiaoling and Su Xuan soon knew which room the sound was coming from.

They knocked on the door.

The guitar sound stopped abruptly, and soon, the door was opened.

An unremarkable middle-aged man appeared in the eyes of Su Xuan and Ma Xiaoling.

This man had extremely dark circles under his eyes, and a deep sense of fatigue hung on his face. He looked very tired, as if he were tired to the extreme.

But even so, he was still struggling to persist.

I don't know what kind of belief was supporting him.

After seeing Ma Xiaoling, he was slightly stunned, and a trace of fluctuation appeared in his expression.

But soon, he successfully covered up this fluctuation, and a look of confusion appeared on his face, "Who are you people?"

Su Xuan explained: "I heard that there is a very powerful physiognomist here, whose physiognomy skills are the best in the world, so I wanted to visit him. Of course, my main purpose for coming here today is not to have my fortune told, but to do a good deed."

"Do a good deed?" The middle-aged man looked confused, "I don't understand what you are talking about?"

"You really don't understand?" A strange smile appeared on the corner of Su Xuan's mouth.

Afterward, his smile faded, and he looked at the middle-aged man before him seriously, saying in a deep voice: "Ma Dalong, although you don't know of my existence, I did indeed watch you grow up, and I have seen all the things between you and Tang Jinbao."

Two names, accompanied by Su Xuan's words, immediately fell into Ma Xiaoling's ears.

Ma Xiaoling couldn't be more familiar with these two names.

Ma Dalong is her father's name.

And Tang Jinbao is her mother's name.

According to her great-aunt Ma Danna, when she was very, very young, her parents died in an accident.

This made Ma Xiaoling very uncomfortable.

Especially in school, watching other children have fathers and mothers while she didn't, it was even more uncomfortable.
