The second disciple of Taicang Sect finally returned after taking a few days’ leave, but the atmosphere within the sect was a little off.
Tuan Tuanyi whispered to his master: “Master, is my junior brother in a bad mood?”
Otherwise, why would he assign him so much homework right after returning? One hundred and fifty Heart Purification Talismans, and he was required to check the results before the weekend. The intensity was so high that his hands were almost broken.
Wei Xi glanced at his second disciple and also felt that something was not right. Just now, he gave the pastries that he had brought back from the banquet hall to the other party, but the disciple did not touch them at all and stared at the pastries as if they were an enemy.
It seems that my disciple doesn’t like eating cake…
Wei Xi thought to himself that he should eat it himself, so he took back the bag of pastries and started to eat it himself. However, as soon as he started to eat, the second apprentice who was sitting alone at the table began to look back frequently with a complicated and indecipherable look in his eyes.
How pitiful! Wei Xi took out a piece of walnut cake and handed it to Tuan Tuanyi, thinking that he should have brought back some wine and drinks for him earlier. His eldest disciple ate a lot that day.
Tuan Tuanyi was almost vomiting blood while drawing talismans, and couldn’t help but continue to speculate: “Master, what did you think Junior Brother did when he asked for leave? Did he run into trouble?”
Wei Xi was startled when he heard this. He looked carefully again and found that there was a row of teeth marks on the second apprentice’s right hand holding the pen! It was as if someone had bitten him!
Shuo Zong was writing when he heard the sound of wind. Before he could turn around, his right hand was grabbed by Wei Xi. The cinnabar on the tip of the pen trembled because of the other party’s movement and dripped onto the talisman paper. A talisman paper that was about to be completed was ruined.
Wei Xi, however, was unaware of this. He grabbed his apprentice’s hand and glared at the teeth marks on it: “Lu Que, what’s going on?!”
Shuo Zong: “…”
Ask yourself.
Thinking this might be the most speechless thing in the world, Shuo Zong tried to pull his hand back and replied in a bland tone: “Nothing.”
“What do you mean nothing! Who hurt you?” Wei Xi grabbed his wrist and touched the teeth marks with a heartbroken look. He was so angry that his eyes became ferocious. “You suffered a loss in the fight outside?! Tell me who left this thing? I’m going to take his life right now!”
Shuo Zong met his murderous eyes and was silent for a while. He clearly felt his warm fingers sliding across the tooth marks that were about to disappear, massaging and observing them carefully.
For some reason, his depressed mood dissipated a lot, and he subconsciously grabbed the hand in his palm and sighed helplessly: “…No need, I have already… subdued him.”
Wei Xi was still very upset. Tuan Tuanyi followed and heard what was said. He was also shocked when he saw the tooth marks: “Did you get bitten? Why does it look like a human bite? Did you get a rabies vaccine? That person bites anyone randomly, maybe he is carrying rabies!”
He was just being sincere and concerned about his junior brother, but when he heard this, his junior brother raised his eyelids and glanced at him coldly: “Have you finished drawing the Heart Purification Talismans? How many of the 150 have been completed?”
Tuanyi: “…”
He saw that the junior fellow had repaid his kindness with hatred, and then went to ask his master: “Where are the cakes you brought me?”
The master asked, “You don’t want to eat it, do you? I was going to share it with your senior brother.”
Junior brother was really willful, he even snorted coldly: “Whoever said he doesn’t want to eat it, give it to me, you are not allowed to share it with him.”
Tuanyi: “…”
Tell me honestly, are you targeting me?
….
The sorrow of the second child still had to be saved by the customers. As soon as Tan Fu arrived, Tuan Tuanyi smelled the scent of money.
He looked a little unwell, his face was pale, his eyes were tired and uneasy, and he was brought into the house by Butler Zhou. The moment he saw Wei Xi, a smile appeared on his face: “Xiao Xi, uncle is really grateful to you this time.”
Wei Xi frowned and looked at him: “What happened to you?”
Tan Fu sat down on the sofa tiredly. He looked at Wei Xi with awe. He rubbed his face and then began to narrate weakly. To be honest, when he was arguing with the property staff last night, he was sure that the other party was making up lies to fool him. After all, he clearly remembered that he had stopped on the 38th floor, but the property staff told him that there were only 37 floors in this building. Tan Fu thought this was ridiculous. As a result, the property staff was entangled by him and sent several security guards into the elevator to accompany him to confirm it again.
Tan Fu was so frightened at that time that he almost felt sick. Since his building was only 37 stories high, could it be that the floor he was on at that time appeared out of thin air?
And what about the man who appeared on the 38th floor? When the elevator door closed, he rushed over with a horrible expression on his face. Was he really just having a psychotic attack and wanted to hit someone?
Even if he didn’t believe in superstition, Tan Fu knew that this explanation was untenable. Everyone said that he had hallucinations because he drank too much, but he knew very well that his memory would not be false. If it was really a hallucination, then how could he explain the membership card that almost cut his hand after it broke into pieces?
At this moment, he also figured it out. Combined with the series of events that happened last night, it was obviously the card Wei Xi gave him that saved him from danger. The elevator malfunction occurred after the card fell out of his pocket. If he hadn’t stepped on the card afterwards, he would probably have walked out of the elevator in a daze. No one knows what would have happened outside the elevator door.
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Thinking about the various situations he had encountered recently, he felt as if something was staring at him hungrily from the side.
After Tan Fu finished telling his story, he looked at Wei Xi nervously. In his eyes, the other party was like a life-saving straw.
Wei Xi looked at him seriously and said, “Your membership card is broken. Do you want a new one? It might be a bit expensive.”
Tan Fu: “…”
Tan Fu rubbed his face and said, “Make it up.”
Tuan Tuanyi was a little speechless about his master’s focus at the moment. Before he could open his mouth to comfort Tan Fu, he saw him stand up and unbuckle his belt.
Tuan Tuanyi was silenced again by his hooligan behavior in public: “Mr. Tan…what are you doing?”
Tan Fu looked a little embarrassed. He unbuckled his belt and reached into his crotch for a while before he cried out in pain and took out two pieces of cards. He handed them to Tuan Yi: “…Didn’t you say to put them close to your body? I was a little scared after I encountered this, so I put it in my underwear.”
He really regretted it. If he had believed Wei Xi earlier and kept the membership card close to him, it wouldn’t have fallen out of his pocket when he took out the eye drops and ended up like this. Now the card was broken, not only was it painful, but when he took it out just now, he even pinched off a few of his hairs.
Tuan Tuanyi: “…” This guy is really amazing. Is this what he meant by putting it close to your body? He stared at the faintly visible hairs and didn’t reach out to take the two broken cards. Tan Fu probably saw his concerns and put the membership card on the coffee table himself.
Tuan Tuanyi had a wild thought that if his master’s father was present, he would probably go crazy.
Then Tan Fu said to his master sincerely: “Xiao Xi, let’s see if this problem can be solved. Money is not a problem. Just tell me what you want and I will buy it for you.”
Wei Xi looked at him and hesitated for a moment: “Anything is OK?”
Tan Fu tossed his head as he fastened his belt: “Go ahead!”
….
When Wei Tianyi came back in the evening, he saw his old friend Tan Fu standing at the door from a distance. He was surprised and delighted, and went up to greet him: “Old Tan, why are you here? Are you standing at the door waiting for me?”
Tan Fu smiled at him awkwardly, his eyes somewhat evasive, and he did not answer his question. He stretched out his hand and waved towards the distance: “Here, here!”
Wei Tianyi turned around and saw a small truck slowly driving over and stopping in front of his house. Then a few workers got out of the cab, opened the car, and took ropes and tools, as if they were preparing to move something.
Wei Tianyi understood now and couldn’t help but pat his old friend on the shoulder: “What the hell, just come if you want to, why are you buying anything!”
He suddenly felt very strange. What on earth did Tan Fu buy? It was so big that it needed a truck to load it. Sofa? Electrical appliances? Furniture? Piano? Could it be an antique he found somewhere?
He was a little embarrassed to guess. Since they hadn’t seen each other for many years, how could he accept such an expensive gift from a friend? Just as he was about to refuse, he saw the carriage shaking, and the workers who got on carried a –
A huge stone tablet appeared.
Wei Tianyi looked at the three characters “Taicang Sect” written in a flamboyant style on the stone tablet: “???”
Wei Xi was extremely happy. Taicang Sect finally had a proper stone tablet, and it was donated by believers on their own initiative!
Wei Tianyi looked at his old friend in confusion. Excuse me, did you come here just to cause trouble?
