If the apprentice was bullied, the master must of course support him. Wei Xi got angry and hit harder, only taking a few bites when the Fengyang Immortal fought back.
Outside the house, Lu Wenqing, who finally drove there, felt something was wrong from afar. Although the door of the house in front was full of vehicles, it was gloomy and not popular at all. It was like an iceberg that appeared in midsummer, out of place in a world of its own. The surrounding scenery also seemed out of place.
The setting sun in the evening reflected the red glow, and the autumn wind in the small town made the leaves rustle all around. Lu Wenqing shuddered and asked Li Rui on the side: “Brother, do you feel something is wrong?”
Li Rui raised his wrist with a serious expression. He wore a watch on his wrist. There was nothing special about it in terms of style or brand. At this time, the hands on the surface were spinning crazily, with the longest one pointing straight ahead.
Li Rui said: “It’s broken.”
Not only was something not right, this was quite wrong, okay?
Seeing his expression, Lu Wenqing immediately called the contact information left by the Lin family. When he heard the prompt saying that the other party was not in the service area, his legs immediately went weak. He thought to himself: Why the hell am I so unlucky, when I just want to take away a mere 100,000 yuan? You can get a great deal of work done for only a small amount of labor fee!
The sinister aura that hit his face was as strong as the wind, and even Li Rui was a little unsure. The two brothers couldn’t help but linger in the car for a while, while looking at the man in the back seat.
Mr. Shuo Zong was no longer asleep, but he still sat motionless, with a calm expression and showing no intention of helping.
Lu Wenqing remembered the rules for the other party to take action: natural disaster, catastrophe, or enough money.
At the moment, none of the three conditions were fulfilled. He gritted his teeth and had no choice but to get out of the car.
He encouraged himself: Why are you afraid? Is it possible that if you can’t fight, you also can’t run?
Then he secretly glanced at Mr. Shuo Zong’s two long legs standing behind him. For the sake of this man’s face, monsters wouldn’t dare to be too presumptuous, right?
He immediately felt courageous, took out seven or eight talismans and stuck them on his body, then walked towards the swaying villa with the magic weapon in hand.
The closer he got to the door, the darker the surrounding air became. The moment he stepped into the courtyard, the temperature felt so cold that he shivered.
Only then did Lu Wenqing faintly hear the exclamations coming from inside. Hearing that there was someone else in the room, he ignored his fear and threw out a blasting talisman to blast open the door that could not be opened no matter how hard he tried. Amidst the sudden smoke and dust, he could clearly see the group of people huddled in the dark corner of the house and caught a glimpse of the skylight outside. The group of people looked like refugees who had been starved for half a year, wailing and scrambling to get out. Lu Wenqing stopped a middle-aged woman dressed as a goddess and asked what was going on. The goddess had cried so much that her nose was dripping with tears: “There is a ghost!!!!”
Lu Wenqing looked at the Nine Heavens Token waving in her hand with shame. He looked into the room and his pupils suddenly shrank. Someone was lying at the door of a large open room in the distance!
He immediately ran in. Li Rui knelt down and touched him: “It’s okay, he just fainted.”
Only then did the two of them have time to observe the situation in the room. When they scanned the room, their scalps exploded!
They saw that the room in front of them, which was more than ten square meters in size, was already filled to the brim, with at least dozens of wild ghosts crowding the corners of the room. This was not a group of ordinary wild ghosts. Among them were many people who were black and red and had strong evil aura. At first glance, they looked like they had eaten a lot of people to cultivate their color. At this time, they were lying next to each other, head to head, and each one was shaking like chaff. The standing posture of the stacked arhat was exactly the same as that of the crowd who ran out of the room in tears just now. If you look carefully, there was actually a long-bearded old man among them!
The old man with a long beard had a look of fear on his face, and he hugged a kid ghost next to him tightly. The scene was like an orphan and a widowed mother dependent on each other. It was a tear-jerking and heart-touching scene. Lu Wenqing said to himself, “What kind of nonsense is this?”
He turned around to ask his cousin’s opinion, but when he glanced at Mr. Shuo Zong, he found that he was looking solemnly at the only living person in the room.
At the same time, the human with his back to them also turned his head alertly, his eyes sweeping over, as sharp as a gust of cold wind.
Lu Wenqing couldn’t help but freeze when he saw the other person’s facial features.
The next second, before he could react, Mr. Shuo Zong had already disappeared, and there was a bang on the door.
Lu Wenqing looked at the door that was closing in front of him: “…What does this mean?”
Li Rui was also confused: “Maybe wants to help us? There are so many ghosts inside, and I can’t handle them either.”
Mr. Shuo Zong actually took the initiative to help him for free?! Lu Wenqing was flattered and felt incredible. After calming down, he continued: “What, brother, did you see clearly the person in the room just now? Why do I think he looks familiar?”
Li Rui: “Who?”
“Wei Xi, maybe you haven’t seen him before. He’s the eldest son of the Wei family.” The more Lu Wenqing thought about it, the more he seemed like him. “He went to the same university town as me. He was from the performance department of the school next door. Before graduation, he often went to various places. If I didn’t encounter him at such an event, I won’t admit my mistake.”
Li Rui was impressed when he heard about the Wei family, and asked curiously: “Didn’t they say he was missing? It’s been several months, how could he appear in Fengyang, still dressed like that…”
He thought about the scene he saw when he had a glimpse just now and found an adjective: “Tattered. You have to admit it, right?”
Lu Wenqing was also confused. He had met Wei Xi many times before at various cross-school gatherings and activities in the capital’s circle of friends. He should not have misremembered that outstanding face, but in his memory, he had always been gentle, and indeed he had never given him such a sharp and clear impression when he looked back just now.
“By the way.” Li Rui asked, “I was wondering before, why is the eldest son of the Wei family missing? And his family doesn’t seem to be very worried, and no one has ever looked for him.”
As soon as Lu Wenqing heard his question, his expression changed immediately, and he looked so embarrassed that he didn’t know how to speak.
After a long while, he whispered: “Well, I heard that he didn’t have a good life at home. As you know, Wei Tianyi’s current wife is not his biological mother, and the two of them even gave birth to a young son. As for the disappearance, the reason…don’t you read entertainment gossip?”
Li Rui was confused: “Why should I look at that?”
Lu Wenqing had no choice but to explain: “Then you haven’t heard that before he disappeared because he was revealed to be… a gay? There was quite a big fuss at that time. The youngest daughter of the Wang family was crying and yelling for the family to cancel the engagement, and his father gave him an ultimatum. The crew he was looking for also refused to use him, and he hadn’t even had time to become famous. I heard that there was a big commotion at his house, and I don’t know how it happened. Anyway, he left a letter and disappeared.”
Li Rui: “…Gay? Is he playing so fu**ing hard?”
“He didn’t admit it himself.” Lu Wenqing recalled, “It doesn’t look like it to me. You don’t know how seriously he pursued the Wang family’s youngest daughter. The girl seemed to be named Wang Yue, who was in a different class but from the same school as me. I heard the girls at school being envious every day, saying that he brought flowers, breakfast, and supper, and was always on call for her during the whole four years. He told me that his two families had an engagement, and they had to stay together regardless of whether he pursued her or not. If he was really a gay, why bother with this? The strange thing is that none of his friends in our circle clarified for him at that time. Only his classmates spoke up, but what can ordinary people say?”
