Guan Xingyu was stunned for three or four seconds before he became angry and said, "Ye Jin, you've gone too far..."
Ye Jin said coldly: "I have already given you face, but you don't want it. Now I give you two choices, one is to kneel down and apologize, and the other is that we leave you to die. You choose!"
Guan Xingyu realized that Ye Jin was not joking. He hesitated for a while with his face flushed red before he slowly knelt down and said through gritted teeth: "Mr. Wu, I was wrong, please forgive me."
I said calmly, "Get up! This time, for Old Ye's sake, I won't bother with you, but there won't be a next time."
After I finished speaking, I didn’t care about Guan Xingyu’s reaction and turned around and left Nanhu Park with the three of them.
As soon as we returned to Guan's house, Guan Xingyu found an excuse to slip away. Not long after, we were invited into the living room by the housekeeper.
When I rushed over, the Guan family, including Jiang Yan and Lingxu Taoist priest, were all waiting there. Guan Xingyu immediately shouted when he saw me, "Grandpa, these two have no skills. I want to change them."
When I looked at Old Man Guan calmly, Jiang Yan sneered, "Even your employer doesn't want you anymore, why don't you kneel down and kowtow to admit defeat?"
I ignored Jiang Yan who was jumping up and down, and looked at Old Man Guan calmly: "What did Mr. Guan say?"
Jiang Yan interrupted before Old Man Guan could speak: "What's the point of asking Old Man Guan? Can he protect you two liars? You can't even tell the difference between a real person and a ghost, and you still have the nerve to call yourself a sorcerer? Kneel down and kowtow quickly, otherwise, you won't be able to leave the Guan family today."
I still ignored Jiang Yan and asked Old Man Guan again, "I want to ask what Old Man Guan said?"
"Is there any need to say this?" Jiang Yan said sternly, "Come here, arrest them..."
Before Jiang Yan finished speaking, I suddenly pulled out the Rakshasa behind me and took a step forward, raising my knife to lock the opponent's throat. Until the tip of my knife stopped at Jiang Yan's skin, the bodyguard of the Guan family hadn't even moved a step.
Ling Xu, who was beside Jiang Yan, wanted to move, but it was too late. He could only say, "Young friend, this is not appropriate, right?"
I slowly put away the Rakshasa: "Mr. Jiang, when I'm not talking to you, you'd better shut your mouth. Otherwise, it's not certain who will be unable to leave the Guan family."
Jiang Yan sat down on the ground with a pale face. Old Man Guan frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Yu has already told me the whole story. Mr. Wu, don't you want to explain it?"
I sneered and said, "In that case, I'll see you later!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I turned around and left, but before I reached the door, I heard Ling Xu shout, "Wait a minute."
Jiang Yan suddenly became alert: "Mr. Wu, your bet has not been fulfilled yet, where do you want to go?"
Just as I was about to speak, Taoist Lingxu slowly said, "I think Guan Xingyu's words are a little untrue. Since you said you didn't encounter a ghost, where did the evil spirit in your body come from?"
“I, I, I…” Guan Xingyu said “I” for a long time and couldn’t utter any more words.
Ling Xu said in a deep voice: "Master Guan, in my opinion, you'd better ask the matter clearly."
After all, Old Man Guan was a seasoned businessman. He noticed something was wrong in just a few moments, and his face suddenly darkened. “Xiao Yu, tell me the truth, what’s going on?”
Guan Xingyu said stubbornly, "I've already told you, that's exactly what happened."
Old Man Guan said with a gloomy face: "If you don't tell me, I will find your classmates and ask them what's going on!"
Guan Xingyu saw that he could no longer conceal the truth, so he told the truth. After hearing this, Old Man Guan flew into a rage: "You bastard! You deliberately played a trick on me, so what if I asked you to apologize? Is that wrong?"
Guan Xingyu argued: "Even if I was wrong, they are not good people! In order to save my dignity, they watched the fat man die in the lake without even helping him. That was a life! With their character, can we trust them?"
Old Man Guan said angrily, "Without your previous behavior, could you have forced them to leave? Can you believe what they said at that time? Do you think that you know everything just because you have eaten dry food for two days? You can give orders about the country? What kind of people are you!"
Guan Xingyu said angrily: "Anyway, I just don't trust them! Just let them go. Isn't there Taoist Lingxu here?"
Jiang Yan also took the opportunity to say, "Master Guan, I think what Xiaoyu said is right. They don't take the lives of the parties seriously. Such people are not trustworthy. I think it's better to leave the business to Taoist Lingxu."
Taoist Lingxu suddenly said in a cold voice: "I don't do this business. If you must pay, then ask for help from someone else. I don't care about the things here anymore."
At this moment, even Jiang Yan was stunned: "Master, what are you doing..."
Ling Xu said with a gloomy face: "My fight with Wu Xiaoyou is a matter between people in the art of magic, but it does not mean that you can play tricks on magicians at will. Magicians have their own dignity, and you cannot summon them and dismiss them at will."
Ling Xu slammed the table and said, "If you ask me, Young Master Wu was a little too lenient."
Jiang Yan's face turned livid, and Old Man Guan's face also looked a little uglier. Although he was scolding Guan Xingyu just now, there was some truth in his words, and only he and Guan Xingyu knew it.
Old Man Guan was silent for a moment before he stood up and said, "Mr. Wu, Xiaoyu is not sensible. If you have any complaints, just come to me, an old man."
I looked at old man Guan calmly and said, "I said it when I came out of the park, there won't be a next time. Whether your family members live or die has nothing to do with me. See you later."
When I turned around to leave, Ling Xu also stood up. Jiang Yan was immediately startled: "Master, what are you going to do?"
Ling Xu sneered and said, "I am born timid. I am afraid that I will risk my life to save others, but end up being wronged and wronged in the end!"
"You two, please stay, you two, please stay..." Old Man Guan was really anxious now. He was not in the art of magic, but he also understood that there was something called a circle in this world. If a piece of news wanted to spread in a circle, it would be even faster than the news. If the news that we were forced to leave by the Guan family spread among the real magicians, who would still help the Guan family? At that time, Guan Xingyu would definitely be dead.
Taoist Lingxu and I ignored each other and walked out without looking back. Old Guan wanted to reach out to stop the two of us, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He held one hand in the air, unable to stretch it out or retract it, and felt extremely embarrassed for a moment.
At this time, Guan Qingyan suddenly said, "Mr. Wu, can I spare you a few minutes to listen to me?"
"Speak!" I stopped subconsciously.
Guan Qingyan said: "Mr. Wu, you can't deny that many people are skeptical about ghosts and sorcerers, or even disapprove of them, right?"
I nodded and said, "That's right!"
Guan Qingyan asked back, "So does a sorcerer absolutely not allow anyone to question him, or does he need to prove himself in certain situations?"
Guan Qingyan answered without waiting for me to speak: "As far as I know, warlocks also have the saying of 'showing off their skills' before accepting a business, right? Isn't the so-called showing off your skills to the employer?"
"It seems that Mr. Wu has never shown his skills since he came to the Guan family? According to the rules of magic, the employer can test the magician once. So, should Guan Xingyu's instinctive desire to test Mr. Wu be within the atmosphere allowed by the magician?"
I couldn't help but frown slightly. The rule of showing off one's skills has always been there, and only people with no skills would refuse to do so. When I took over the Guan family's business, I really didn't show off my skills.
At this time, if the employer wants to test the warlock, the warlock can teach the other party a lesson calmly, but he must not turn hostile on the spot, otherwise, it would be a loss of the warlock's character and he would be despised by his peers.
I nodded helplessly and said, "The fact that Guan Xingyu set up a trap to trick me is now over."
"It's not a joke, it's a test!" Guan Qingyan said solemnly, "Shouldn't Mr. Wu understand the nature of this matter?"
I nodded slightly, as a sign of agreement.
Guan Qingyan smiled and said, "Since Mr. Wu admitted that Xiaoyu was testing you, then you shouldn't have asked Xiaoyu to kneel down and apologize. Xiaoyu knelt before you once, and also framed you once. Shouldn't we be even now?"
I couldn't help but look at Guan Qingyan again. If I followed her point, it would be me who was wrong first, and if I continued to insist, it would be me who was being unreasonable.
I said in a deep voice: "Miss Guan, you are probably making up your mind, right?"
Guan Qingyan said with a smile: "I am a young girl who has never been involved in the martial arts world. Naturally, I know little about the things in the martial arts world. If I say something wrong, I don't think the master will mind me, right?"
I have to admit that sometimes the identity of a little woman is really useful. I know that Guan Qingyan is making excuses, but I can't tear my face off to argue with her about who is right and who is wrong.
I nodded expressionlessly and said, "Okay, you win. See you later!"
"Wait a moment!" Guan Qingyan suddenly bowed deeply to me. "Xiaoyu offended Mr. Wu first, and Qingyan made excuses later. On behalf of my brother and I, I solemnly apologize to you."
I have to say that Guan Qingyan used this trick very cleverly. First, she made me speechless, and then she bowed and apologized in public. At this time, I couldn't bring myself to argue with her.
Guan Qingyan looked me straight in the eye and said, "Mr. Wu, I wonder if Qingyan will be lucky enough to re-hire you on behalf of the Wu family?"
I was about to say "no" but I saw Jiang Yan's anxious and resentful eyes. He seemed to want to rush up and throw me out of the Guan family, so that I would disappear from Guan Qingyan's sight forever.
When he was jumping up and down just now, I wanted to teach him a lesson. Now that he comes to me, can I let go of such an opportunity
I extended my hand to Guan Qingyan: "I accept your invitation..."
Jiang Yan's face suddenly turned gloomy.
