Seeing that the young man was specially guided by the Lin family to take a seat at the main table, the other masters at the table immediately became surer of his identity. Seeing that he didn’t like to talk, they exchanged looks with confused expressions, and finally sat on Wei Xi’s right. Taoist priest Changxu was the first to speak: “Mr. Lu, I have admired your name for a long time.”
Wei Xi glanced at him: “What name did you call me?”
“Huh?” Taoist Changxu was stunned by the question, “Aren’t you the direct descendant of the Lu family invited by Mr. Lin? Why aren’t you called Mr. Lu?”
“What’s the Lu family, what’s Mr. Lu.” Wei Xi frowned, “I am the 62nd generation head of the Taicang Sect, Wei Xi.”
Taicang Sect? What sect was that?
Everyone present exchanged glances and realized that no one had heard of it, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Taoist Changxu frowned and asked inexplicably: “If you are not Mr. Lu, then what are you doing here?”
Wei Xi picked up his chopsticks, glanced at the dishes on the table, and then looked at the fragrant door not far away.
He replied matter-of-factly: “Of course I’m here to eat.”
Then he started eating without any adulteration.
Seeing him acting like no one was around, everyone was speechless. They were sitting here just to recharge their batteries before starting work. Who would really come here just to eat? But Wei Xi not only ate, he also concentrated on it, placing his chopsticks accurately, and he even didn’t forget to greet the attendants around him: “What are you doing standing still?”
Unexpectedly, Tuan Tuanyi who had become someone’s apprentice was still confused. Wei Xi couldn’t help but frown when he saw that he was reluctant to move his chopsticks. The new disciple he had accepted was good in every way, but he was a little too dull. Not only was he no longer as nimble and clever as before, but he was often in a daze as if he had lost his mind. He wondered if he was carried away by the joy of succeeding in his apprenticeship so easily.
However, as a master, he did a better job than Wei Dedao. Not only did he not ask his disciples to go hunting to support him, but he also took his disciple out to eat and drink with great skill. After encountering such a master, it was inevitable that the disciple would be overwhelmed with joy.
Wei Dedao should really be asked to learn from him.
The others at the table were disappointed when they realized that he was not the “Lu family” person that everyone had been waiting for. In addition, the “Taicang Sect” mentioned by the other party was not well-known. They didn’t know what kind of pheasant sect it was, so they were not interested in chatting. Of course all their interest disappeared completely.
The long-bearded Taoist’s attitude was not as polite as before. He frowned and sat down a little bit further in disgust. He shook his head at the goddess next to him and complained: “Such a person can be treated as a guest of the Lin family. I don’t know what it means.”
He suddenly transformed into the leader at the table, but Wei Xi ignored him and just munched, finishing half of the dishes on the table in the blink of an eye. The old Taoist was so angry that he blew his beard and stared: “This is really unreasonable!”
However, the goddess couldn’t help but look at Wei Xi’s thin body and flat belly. She couldn’t believe that he could easily finish the food and wine on the table. As the remaining half of the food on the table slowly disappeared, her eyes gradually turned from envy to shock.
Was that a human being? There were more than thirty dishes! The braised pork knuckle alone was at least three kilograms. Where did he stuff it after eating it? Not scientific at all!
At the same time, on the Fengyang Town Expressway, less than 50 kilometers away from Lin’s home, a flamboyant off-road vehicle was speeding along.
Lu Wenqing was humming happily in the driver’s seat, but the rock music on the stereo was playing very softly. His older cousin Li Rui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, sighed helplessly: “Wenqing, your horoscope is too yin. If you really can’t do the family business, aren’t you pretty good at this major? Why force yourself into something that’s not suitable for you?”
Lu Wenqing’s face changed, he stopped humming, and stared at his cousin fiercely: “Who is not suitable? I think you are too lazy to accompany me to Fengyang. Don’t you think about whose fault it is? There are so many good businesses with high remuneration in local Beijing, so why did you have to take this order from this remote country for me.”
Li Rui was speechless at his unreasonableness: “You are so shameless. You don’t even know what level you are. Who dares to let you take orders from Beijing? Is it to make it possible for you to destroy the house’s sign? If you don’t want to do cheap business, then you should restrain yourself from being so unlucky.”
“…” Lu Wenqing said harshly, “Who is unlucky!”
“Isn’t your horoscope unlucky enough?” Li Rui rolled his eyes and clapped his fingers for him, “I won’t talk about the things you usually do when you go out and throw money up the mountain, fall down and get chased and bitten by ghosts. This time when we came to Fengyang, we encountered our car breaking down on the road. Broken down, my friend, the Mercedes Benz you drove cross-country broke down for no apparent reason! There is no cell phone signal in the mountainous area! If Mr. Shuo Zong hadn’t happened to be nearby, we would both be in bad luck, okay?”
As soon as he said these words, Lu Wenqing was speechless and couldn’t help but turn his head and look behind his head.
In the back seat, Mr. Shuo Zong, as they called him, was leaning against the window with his eyes closed and concentrating. He had a good face, a nose that was so high and straight that it seemed to have been carved, and his sharp eyes were temporarily closed, and he looked handsome with an age that could not be distinguished. This was not surprising, after all, there were so many beauties in the world. The strange thing was that in such a hot season, this person was still wearing long sleeves. He sat calmly, and even the angle at which he supported his head was meticulous. He looked like a well-behaved old scholar. However, there were traces of totem patterns extending from the unusually high neckline of his coat, and his long neck. It climbed all the way to the base of his left ear. If you looked closely, you could see that even the entire back of the right hand was not spared.
The totem pattern was obscure, neither like the blue dragon on the left or the white tiger on the right of the big brother on the street, nor the non-mainstream sad quotes of young people in love, but like twisted runes with no rules to follow. At first glance, it always made people wonder. However, if you looked closely, you would see that the totems were inexplicably vicious, telling a strange threat that if you looked at it one more time, they would kill you.
It was simply a contradictory synthesis of madness and sanity.
Shuo Zong never opened his eyes, but the momentum around him did not weaken at all. He seemed to know everything happening around him without looking, and calmly said: “Watch the road.”
Lu Wenqing shuddered, immediately sat upright, and changed the music that was already so soft that it was almost a whisper on the radio.
The host of the car radio slowly broadcast an accident that occurred on Fengyang Mountain, a famous scenic spot in Fengyang Town today. The accident process was very strange, and the host also spoke very excitedly. The content frequently mentioned the sect named Taicang Sect. It was said that he learned this from the security guard at the scenic spot. Lu Wenqing was not in the mood to listen at the moment, and his attention was entirely on the back.
Regarding Mr. Shuo Zong, Lu Wenqing remembered that he was already at his home when he was very young.
At that time, the person who followed the other party was his parents, who were now in charge of most of the Lu family’s business. After so many years, he had grown up, and his parents had grown old, but the other party seemed to have stopped time, and there was nothing different in him in his memory from beginning to end.
As the only permanent resident of the Lu family with a foreign surname, outsiders always thought that Mr. Shuo Zong was a cousin or distant friend of the Lu family. As a direct descendant of the Lu family, Lu Wenqing clearly knew that the relationship between him and his elders was much more complicated than what was guessed outside.
Not to mention his parents who were always cautious in front of the other, even the ancestors of the Lu family who stayed away from home for many years had to be respectful when they saw this person. Compared to relatives, Lu Wenqing felt that their attitude towards Mr. Shuo Zong was more like a rare treasure enshrined at home. And Mr. Shuo Zong was indeed very different from ordinary people. Not to mention the opponent’s strength and appearance, his unique fortune alone was something that even Lu Wenqing, who had been unlucky for more than 20 years, could not achieve in this life.
This time, the car they drove to Fengyang broke down on the highway. Help was nowhere to be found, and their mobile phones had no signal. They had already desperately accepted the reality of walking on a dangerous highway, but unexpectedly Mr. Shuo Zong was nearby, after the two parties met, the other party didn’t say a word, opened the car door and sat inside——
Miraculously the car started.
Lu Wenqing has a light character and a strong yin spirit. When he was a child, even the wild ghosts on the roadside dared to bully him to death, even if he could share the slightest bit of this man’s fate——
This thought went far away. He quickly came back to his senses and realized that he had been in a daze for so long. The car was still driving as straight as a line. There was nothing in front of him, and there was no obstacle in sight.
It was probably because Mr. Shuo Zong was sitting in the car.
Li Rui, his cousin on the co-pilot seat, said in a low voice at this time: “Hey, after all, you have something in mind. The Lin family is the first order you have taken, so you have to complete it on your own, right? I can’t lead you hand in hand forever.”
Lu Wenqing suddenly became even more worried. At times like this, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only admit that he was indeed not talented enough at Yin Yang Yixue. After so many years of teaching from his parents and brothers and sisters at home, he only gained some knowledge in Feng Shui planning. But it may be that he was bullied a lot by wild ghosts when he was a child, and he could never get over the psychological shadow. But once he encountered trouble that was not limited to Feng Shui, he would first scare himself to death mentally, let alone just surrendering to the other side.
Lu Wenqing gritted his teeth: “Maybe there is just something wrong with the furnishings in his house.”
Li Rui smiled evilly: “That’s not necessarily true. Have you ever seen that couple looking so angry and exhausted? It’s as if they were being stared at by a ghost.”
As soon as Lu Wenqing heard those two words, he felt a gust of cold wind, and countless goosebumps appeared on his arms holding the steering wheel.
Seeing that his brother was so frightened, Li Rui felt a little unbearable, but comforted him: “Oh, I’m just scaring you. I’m with you. What do you have to be afraid of? If I can’t do it, isn’t there still Mr. Shuo Zong! By then, Mr. Shuo Zong can give you any magic weapon, which is enough for you to show off your power in front of demons and monsters.”
Li Rui felt that he was really witty, and he laughed while talking. Mr. Shuo Zong, who had always been quiet in the back seat, finally opened his eyelids, his eyes so sharp that you could not see any signs of sleepiness. Under his calm gaze, Li Rui’s laughter became lower and lower, until it finally disappeared and turned into an embarrassing cough.
Lu Wenqing was also speechless. He wondered if his cousin was mentally retarded to say such illogical words.
How could Mr. Shuo Zong give him something? It would be nice if he didn’t ask him for the money for repairing his car this time.
Sure enough, as soon as his mind changed, the gaze that had stopped Li Rui’s thoughts turned to him, and his gaze was colder than the cold wind blown by the evil ghost.
Alas, I really can’t escape. Lu Wenqing had been with his parents for more than twenty years, so he naturally knew what that meant, and immediately said bravely: “Don’t worry, sir, I will transfer you for the cost of repairing the car when I return to Beijing.”
The heavy pressure on his back finally disappeared.
Lu Wenqing was about to cry.
The price for asking Mr. Shuo Zong was not cheap. This trip to Fengyang would definitely be in vain, and he may have to pay a lot more.
