"Fifth Master's Wife!" Xie Jingwen recognized the voice, but obviously didn't know where the other party was speaking.
I turned my head and looked at the lawn on the left side of the gate: "My friend, since you've asked, why don't you come out and meet me?"
"You do have some skills. But your skills are not enough to insult my brother.
A woman in black appeared on the lawn. She stood there the whole time, but she blended into the surroundings. Our attention was focused on Xie Jingwen, so we didn't notice her presence.
I looked at her with interest and said, "You should be one of Sun Yifan's wives, right? What I meant just now is..."
The other party interrupted me without waiting for my explanation: "Don't make excuses. My brother won't allow anyone to insult him. What you just said is a capital crime."
"Okay!" Monk Shi spread his hands and said, "Sun Yifan not only taught an idiot apprentice, but also got an unreasonable wife."
I looked at the woman coldly: "If you think I am insulting Sun Yifan, that's fine. Whatever you want, just draw the line!"
As the other party's eyes gradually turned cold, Dou Po spoke first: "Sun Yifan's wife is becoming more and more promising. She even personally took the lead in the fight between the two children. Can you please ask Sun Yifan for me, does he still have any shame?"
The woman said sternly, "Old Huangdou, you'd better not push your luck!"
Grandma Dou's face darkened. "Is it me, Old Huangdou, who is pushing things too far, or is it you, Sun Xiaomei, who is shameless? Your own disciple has lost your face like an idiot, and you didn't even slap him in the face, but instead you are accusing my godson of a crime, and you even want to do it yourself."
Dou Po rolled up her sleeves without paying attention to the other person's livid face. "Try to touch them once, and I'll report your actions to the Xuan Jing Division. I want to see if your man has the nerve to cause trouble."
Sun Xiaomei said with a gloomy face: "I don't care who is right or wrong, as long as they dare to insult my brother. Today, I will give them two choices. One is to kneel down in front of Xuan Jing Si and slap themselves ten times to apologize to my brother; the other is to wait until you can't take a single step in the art of magic."
I said coldly, "If you want me to slap myself, you have to be so shameless. I used to respect Sun Yifan, but now it seems that he is not a decent guy. He can't do it himself, so he lets the old woman at home to make a scene. He thinks he is a man."
I clearly knew that after saying this, it would be impossible to be friendly with the other party, but I couldn't pretend to be a grandson and keep the peace.
"You're looking for death!" As the murderous intent in Sun Xiaomei's eyes surged, Dou Po also took a step forward: "If you have the guts, try it in front of me!"
Sun Xiaomei and Dou Po were talking on an equal level. According to Dou Po's calculation, she was one generation higher than the rest of us. If she dared to attack, she was bullying the weak, so Dou Po naturally had reason to fight back.
Sun Xiaomei said in a deep voice: "Old Huangdou, listen to me. I, Sun Xiaomei, will not do anything to lower my status, but you, your godsons, don't even think about continuing to make a living in the art."
"As long as I, Sun Xiaomei, am here, I will prevent them from doing any business until they go and apologize to their brother. Jingwen, let's go!" Sun Xiaomei threw down a sentence, turned around and walked out with Jie Jingwen.
I turned to his back and said, "Sun, listen to me. You'd better keep an eye on your idiot disciple. The next time we meet, I will kill him!"
Sun Xiaomei paused for a moment and said, "Let's see who has the ability!"
After Sun Xiaomei left, Dou Po spoke up, "You are really in trouble now. Sun Xiaomei is famous for being a haunting person. Those who are targeted by her rarely escape her clutches."
I shook my head and said, "Some things will come sooner or later. Instead of being timid, it's better to just go for it and see who has the tougher luck."
"You, you are a young and inexperienced person who is not afraid of tigers!" Grandma Dou scolded me as she walked back. "Sun Xiaomei ranks fifth among the Seven Beauties of Yanyue. She is responsible for gathering intelligence and has a wide range of friends. She has friends in both the good and evil worlds. Even if she doesn't do anything herself, there are still people willing to help her. I'm afraid this time you won't end well."
Ye Jin curled his lips and said, "Dou Ma, please stop boosting others' morale and destroying your own prestige. Isn't she just an unreasonable little girl?"
Grandma Dou said, "You still don't know where you are wrong! In fact, Sun Xiaomei is not an unreasonable person, but the premise is that you can't say that Sun Yifan is not good. If anyone says that Sun Yifan is not good, even if what you say is right, the Seven Beauties of Yanyue will pounce on you like mad dogs to cause trouble for you."
Seeing that Ye Jin was still unconvinced, I quickly changed the subject and said, "Sun Xiaomei's surname is Sun, and she calls Sun Yifan 'brother'. They can't be brother and sister, right?"
Grandma Dou said, "All the seven girls of Yanyue took Sun Yifan's last name, and they all called him 'brother'. Because Sun Yifan said that he is now a monogamous man, and he wants to marry all of the seven girls of Yanyue, but he can't bear to let any of them go, so he simply decided not to marry any of them, and the seven girls all called him brother."
"Beautiful!" Monk Shi, who sat at the table, gave a thumbs up and said, "I admire such a man. He can use shamelessness as reason and deceive a group of people. Did Sun Yifan practice some special skills?"
"I don't know." Dou Po shook her head. "Many people have suspected this, but Sun Yifan himself has kept his mouth shut. However, since the Nianhua Sect is named after the flower, it should have similar skills."
As Dou Po was talking, she didn't know what was wrong with her: "Look at Sun Yifan carefully, he is already in his forties, but he can still fool a bunch of little girls. You guys are different, you are all grown up, but you don't know how to pick up girls, you just hang out with each other.
Grandma Dou pointed her finger at our noses one by one and said, "I've never seen three grown men go to the bathroom together. Are you planning to split yourselves to continue the family line?"
Ye Jin gave Dou Po a half-dead look and said, "The premise of finding a girl is that there must be girls to find, right? We are now in the rising stage of our career..."
"Bah!" Dou Po almost spit into Ye Jin's bowl, "You are all blind! Isn't Ying a ready-made girl? Tell me quickly, who wants to pursue her?"
After Lu Xiaoying came back from Sandaogangzi, she moved into Ye Jin's house. According to her, the Sixth Division did not strictly manage sorcerers. She resigned for the sake of the gods and ghosts, and the Sixth Division changed her leave to a long vacation in order to retain her. As for when this vacation will be, only God knows!
Ye Jin moved to another place with his bowl in hand: "Don't look at me, Lu Xiaoying is not my type."
Monk Shi was even more direct: "I have already converted to Buddhism and I will never get close to women in this life. I hope you, the female donor, will not ruin my heart of devotion to Buddhism!"
Dou Po glared at Shi Heshang fiercely, then looked at my face. I was about to speak, but Lu Xiaoying took the lead: "Don't worry, my name is Lu Xiaoying, which means I hope to have a successful life. If I really stay with Wu Zhao, it will be the beginning of failure in my life."
I was so angry at Lu Xiaoying: "What's wrong with me? Why is your life a failure if you are with me?"
"I think what Xiaoying said makes sense!" Shi Heshang grinned, "Let's not talk about anything else. He doesn't have the nerve to chase girls!"
"Others can play tennis or badminton with girls, but he can pick up a knife and spar with others with cold weapons; others can have candlelight dinners with girls, but he can drag them to the bottom of their noses to roast sweet potatoes; others can watch the stars with girls, but he can take girls to the cemetery to watch wild ghosts... In short, there is nothing he can't do!"
"Bullshit!" I yelled, "Am I as bad as you say?"
"I can testify to this!" Ye Jin raised his hand and asked, "The other day Wu Zhao was watching a TV show and saw a girl crying while holding her dog. He said: What's there to cry about? Just send a magic talisman to call back the soul. Isn't that human language? Only he could go up and call back the soul instead of comforting the girl!"
"Say that again and I'll kill you!" I really can't stand the two of them singing the same tune.
Lu Xiaoying stretched out a hand and scratched the bridge of his nose: "Wu Zhao, if you want to clarify the facts, you have to produce evidence! To show that you are considerate, you should check if there is anything left to do in the house, such as... the floor has not been mopped or something."
"You didn't mop the floor?" I said angrily, "It's your turn to clean the house today, right? Are you trying to trick me into mopping the floor? I'm not planning on chasing you!"
Lu Xiaoying rolled his eyes and said, "Now it's up to you to prove that you still have the potential to be empathetic. The four of us will supervise you."
“When did I…” I finally backed off under the contemptuous looks of the four of them: “I’ll do it!”
I mopped the living room until it was shiny: "Lu Xiaoying, I've finished mopping your floor! Look..."
"My land?" Lu Xiaoying said, "This is our home, okay? If this is my land, then don't step on it!"
When Lu Xiaoying turned around, he saw a green bean fly flying across the house. He raised his hand and pointed at the fly: "This is my land. Don't leave. Don't fly across my land like it did."
"Lu Xiaoying—" I was so angry that I nailed the fly to the wall with a green fly dart, "Remember this! Sooner or later, I will nail you to the wall just like I nailed that fly!"
Lu Xiaoying sneered, "Are you still planning to worship me every morning and evening?"
I was almost mad at Lu Xiaoying: "How dare you take advantage of me!"
"Do you have any advantage to take advantage of? Ha—" Lu Xiaoying walked away with a sarcastic smile.
Ye Jin stood up: "I'm going for a walk."
Monk Shi left with the bowl in his hand, saying he was going to chant sutras. Grandma Dou only said, "It's great to be young!"
What a bullshit!
In the following days, I found that I had never won an argument with Lu Xiaoying. But the more I couldn't win against her, the more I wanted to win back; but the more I wanted to turn the tables, the worse I lost.
Later I came to the conclusion that it would be faster to resort to violence rather than to argue with Lu Xiaoying. At least I still have a chance to win. If it was just a pure argument, I would have no chance at all.
That day, I was thinking about how to win a small victory over Lu, but I saw Jiang Yan rushing in from outside. After the business with Guan's family, I hadn't seen Jiang Yan for almost half a year. The first thing he said when he came in was: "Brother Wu, you have to save me!" (To be continued)
