When Lin Hanyang started to look for Wei Xi, Wei Xi had already taken out all the food the tramp had saved.
At first, the tramp covered his wound and hid in the corner to avoid him in fear. Later, when he saw his cheeks bulging out while eating, he gradually became less afraid. It had to be said that good-looking people even ate as if they were doing something pleasing to the eye. Even if they were wearing gray and dull old clothes, it did not in any way damage the sense of beauty brought by their beautiful face and tall figure. What’s more, Wei Xi was really serious about eating. What good food could a homeless person living under a bridge have? What they brought out was nothing more than some cheap biscuits and bread, but he treated every bite with the same respect as if he were eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, without showing any sign of disdain.
This was a very strange experience for a man who was often regarded as a savage beast by passers-by.
So as he looked at it, he felt the urge to talk: “Hey! Who are you? What’s your name?”
Wei Xi took the meat waffle packaging bag and glanced at him. Although he looked cute when eating, there was no cute element in his stern eyes. He trembled when he saw him. He didn’t know if it was an illusion. He always felt that the other person looked at him the same way he looked at the bag of meat waffles in his hand.
The arrogance he had so easily ignited was immediately extinguished, and he stammered and changed his tone: “Brother, my name is Tuan Tuanyi. I have never seen you in Fengyang before. What, you just came here? Right? What should I call you?”
Wei Xi folded the empty bags and put them into his backpack, puffed up his sleeves and said, “I am the 62nd generation head of the Taicang Sect, Wei Xi.”
“…” Tuan Tuanyi laughed twice, “Yes, yes, what does your Taicang Sect do?”
This really gave Wei Xi a pause. For a moment, his mind was filled with the endless chatter of Wei Dedao. He thought about it for a long time before answering uncertainly: “Exterminate demons and defend Dao.”
Tuan Tuanyi laughed even more awkwardly. He took a closer look at Wei Xi’s clothes and wondered why he was wearing such strange clothes. He turned out to be a charlatan? He grew up in Fengyang Town, because there was a famous mountain temple on Fengyang Mountain. Over the years, he had seen a lot of pretenders and learned a lot about it. After all, everyone was committing fraud.
But looking at Wei Xi’s appearance, he seemed to be from the group that wasn’t doing so well. But no wonder, it must be really difficult for him to win people’s trust at such a young age, just like he who was strong but could not go to the street to fend off the lame old man on the street next door. Thinking of this, Tuan Tuanyi felt a sense of sadness in his heart. He felt that the distant relationship between the two of them had become much closer, and his tone became much more intimate: “It’s good, it’s good, we are half the same people. No wonder when I saw my eldest brother, I just felt friendly and wanted to say hello.”
It was just that this “greeting” almost cost him half of his life. Tuan Tuanyi said such shameless words, but he didn’t feel dissatisfied at all, and even tried to make friends with a smile: “Now we are acquainted. It can be seen that we are really fated, brother, don’t worry, the most important thing in my life is loyalty. From now on, my things will be your things. Whenever you encounter trouble in Fengyang Town, I will not refuse to help.”
After patting his chest, he thought he would never be beaten again. When he looked up, he found that Wei Xi was just looking at him with a frown.
The gaze from head to toe was a bit scrutinizing, so sharp that it felt like it would cause a stinging sensation when it scraped against the skin.
Tuan Tuanyi suddenly became anxious and almost wanted to cover his swollen face and shrink back, but Wei Xi withdrew his gaze at this moment and said, “That’s fine.”
Then he stood up nimbly and announced: “From now on, you will be the top disciple of my Taicang Sect.”
Wei Dedao had said before that the most important thing in growing a sect was to recruit disciples. Only when there were enough and outstanding disciples could one have a stable position in the huge world of spiritual practice. Although this boy Tuan Tuanyi had a glib tongue and not very decent facial features, his face was very firm and he was not someone who would do evil easily. There was also a faint hint of nobility in his forehead.
Although he couldn’t tell where this noble aura came from at the moment, it didn’t matter. In general, the other party was a good candidate for being a disciple, and the food he found was delicious. Since he was so sincere, it would not hinder anything if he accepted it himself.
Tuanyi: “…………????”
Wait a minute, brother, brother, that’s not what I meant! And what does it mean to be a top disciple? Are you the only one in Taicang Sect?
Wei Xi: “Get up and put my backpack on your back.”
Tuanyi stuttered and said: “Then, what, that, I’m not…”
“Shut up.” Wei Xi raised his hand to stop him from continuing to chatter, looking at the place where the bridge hole led to the road, “Get ready, it’s time for us to set off.”
As soon as the words fell, chaotic footsteps sounded in front of them. In the blink of an eye, a group of people hurriedly appeared. Lin Hanyang, the leader, almost instantly spotted Wei Xi standing under the bridge, and his eyes lit up with excitement.
The other party was still wearing the tattered and dirty Taoist robes, but now Lin Hanyang didn’t feel that he was so down and out at all. Instead, he looked ethereal and otherworldly.
Sure enough, this was the real master. He did not seek fame, wealth, or power, and was nothing like those coquettish bitches outside.
When he came closer, before he spoke, he bowed his head firmly and said, “Master, I’m sorry, I’ve offended you many times before.”
Wei Xi thought for a moment, not knowing when he had offended him, but he didn’t bother to ask more questions and just nodded: “Is the disaster over?”
“I would also like to thank you, Master, for your help.” Lin Hanyang’s face was full of gratitude: “I can’t repay your kindness of saving my life. I also ask Master to move to his humble residence and let our family entertain him.”
“Your wife gave me money.” Wei Xi didn’t know how to chat. “Isn’t it because of family matters that you are looking for me?”
Lin Hanyang: “……………………”
This was the first time he met such a person who didn’t even show politeness, and he was so stupefied that he didn’t know how to answer the conversation. He was shocked that the other party could see his true intention at a glance, and his heart jumped up and down with anxiety. When he heard Wei Xi say that his wife had given him money, and thinking of the two hundred yuan, he thought that the other party was pursuing his offense, and he regretted it completely. His previous attitude towards the other party was really not worthy of respect, and now he was being respectful and inviting him to go home to solve the problem. It was really despicable.
But he didn’t know before that there were such unscientific things in the world! In just a few hours, his original worldview had been shattered to pieces.
But even if he was so ashamed, he still had to invite people, so he paused and said bravely: “Master has a clever mind. My wife has prepared a banquet at home. I wonder if Master is willing to reward me…”
He had no hope at this time and was just giving it a try. Unexpectedly, the master in front of him did not hesitate at all. After hearing his words, he immediately nodded: “Let’s go. Become sworn brothers!”
Wei Xi motioned to his apprentice to join them for a banquet. Only then did Lin Hanyang realize that there was a young man standing under the bridge. He looked carefully and was startled by his unkempt appearance: “This, who is…?”
Wei Xi waved his hand casually: “This is my eldest disciple Tuanyi.”
Tuanyi: “I…”
Lin Hanyang’s expression suddenly changed, and he no longer thought the other party was sloppy. At this time, he was extremely grateful for Wei Xi’s disregard of past grudges. He felt that the master was indeed a master, and even the disciples he accepted were equally free and unrestrained. He interrupted Tuan Tuanyi’s self-statement: “So that’s it. I’m glad to meet you. Yes, Mr. Tuan is also invited.”
Tuanyi: “…”
Only after Wei Xi got in the car did he realize that the beast he had seen all the way was like this. He was used to being unruly in the mountains. After being alert for a while, and feeling that there was no threat to him, he lazily leaned back into the soft chair and passed out, feeling sleepy.
He was sitting upright, ignoring his clothes, his lazy and beautiful appearance was like a pampered young master from some family. The friend who followed him from the driver’s seat took a few peeks, and couldn’t help but ask Lin Hanyang in a low voice: “What are you doing, making such a big fuss just to find such a child?”
Lin Hanyang quickly stopped him, with a cautious expression on his face: “Shut up, this is a real expert!”
Friend:”……”
This person was usually quite sane, so why was he so crazy now?
