At the end of the year, regarding Wang Zhuo's incident in the capital, although Qi Chen did not show up, he had the evidence that Yu Derong's son and Wang Zhuo's employees enter the underground bank to gamble, as well as the evidence of Wang Zhuo's interactions with the bank, be thrown into the police station. . That underground bank was owned by the Triads in the capital. If it closed its doors like this, Qi Chen must have suffered a lot of losses.
This was exactly what Xia Shao wanted to thank.
Qi Chen had already sat on the sofa. Hearing Xia Shao's apology, Qi Chen raised his eyebrows deeply, "That happened last year."
Xia Shao couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Qi Chen, do you think he is petty? He will help you if something goes wrong. But if you say he is generous, he will remember things that offend him for a long time. Xia Shao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then you mean it happened last year. Is it too late to say thank you this year?"
With Qi Chen's temperament, Xia Shao thought he would definitely nod and asked: Isn't it too late
Unexpectedly, he just glared at her and said angrily, "Master Xia can say thank you, and I will burst into tears. Otherwise, in the future, the Triads will have to ask Master Xia for sacrifices, repairing graves, building houses, getting married, and asking for divination. Master Xia will never be in a good mood."
Xia Shao was stunned when he heard this, then smiled gloomily. Well, she really shouldn't think that this man has changed his gender. He is indeed a vengeful person. The two had a few arguments that day, but he actually remembered every word she said. However, Qi Chen will never be the only person in the world who holds grudges. Xia Shao also has a good memory and immediately said: "Yes. I will call Mr. Qi next time and I will be grateful if you can turn off your phone."
The guests in the Leng family's living room listened to the conversation between the two, all looking confused and confused about the situation. What's going on here? It sounds like these two are having a bit of a dispute? In Hong Kong, the only person who dares to argue with people from the old Feng Shui Hall is Qi Chen.
Qi Chen frowned, "When did I turn off my phone?" Ever since the two argued that day, he hadn't answered the woman's call!
"Master Qi is such a noble person who forgets things. Who asked Zhan Ruohao to send me the information I wanted last time? I'm not as stingy as some people. I originally called to say thank you, but unfortunately, someone turned off the phone." His tone was leisurely and he looked at Qi Chen with a smile.
Qi Chen was stunned, and his face changed several colors. He was stunned, annoyed, and suddenly depressed. Finally, the corners of his mouth slowly opened and he smiled, like a stupid boy, "Oh."
Qi Chen made everyone around him laugh. Everyone stared, unable to imagine that this person with a sunny smile was actually Qi Chen.
Xia Shao didn't know that Qi Chen didn't turn off his phone that day, but dropped his phone in depression, so she naturally couldn't get through to him after that. Qi Chen's cell phone was broken and he didn't receive her call. He thought she had been angry about what happened that day, and he had been depressed for half a year. Tonight, I heard that she had called him that night. Of course, the gloom of Mr. Qi's family was gone, and his mood instantly brightened.
Xia Shao couldn't understand why Qi Chen's mood suddenly improved, and she didn't bother to guess. In short, it’s good that the misunderstanding has been resolved.
The Leng family's banquet started at eight o'clock. Seeing that the time was approaching, Xia Shao turned her head and looked at the people sitting on the sofa. Among her friends in Hong Kong, only Li Qingyu had not arrived yet.
Xia Shao was not surprised by this. Li Qingyu was the busiest among these people. Although the Li Group does not have as deep a foundation as the Triads, Li Qingyu is busier than Qi Chen. The Sanhe Group has a long history. Relatively speaking, both the underworld and business operations have been passed down from generation to generation and have matured. Although Qi Chen is busy at both ends, he also has many helpers at his disposal. Li Qingyu is different. His parents are irresponsible. He grew up with his grandfather Li Boyuan. The Li family had a dispute over the successor. Li Qingyu has just taken over the family for a year, and he really has a lot to do.
Li Qingyu is a strict and punctual person. When Xia Shao used to work for him as a bodyguard, he followed him in and out of the Li Group. He went to work, after get off work, meetings, and schedules strictly according to time. He never arrived early or left early. So Xia Shao looked at the time. When there were still three minutes left before the banquet started, she looked towards the door with a smile.
At the door, the butler respectfully led the young man in. He was wearing a luxurious dark gray suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and had a calm and aristocratic temperament. The guests in the living room started to prepare, but they all fell silent and turned to look at the door.
The luxurious living room, the golden warm light, the men and women in expensive clothes, the familiar luxurious smell of perfume floating in the living room, a picture of a flashy banquet in the upper class. The man still glanced at the center of the crowd at the door, the woman sitting on the sofa looking at him with a smile. Across half the living room, he faced the leisurely and demure aura. He could almost smell the aroma of the cup of tea in her hand, and read the teasing look in her eyes - President Li was such a good punctual boy.
This was not the first time she had teased him like this. During those days at the Li family, he could always hear it.
I haven’t seen her for half a year, but I can always hear news about her. I heard that the Xu family...
Li Qingyu lowered his eyes. In the short moment when he entered the door, he was already in a melancholy mood that was difficult to detect.
At this time, the guests in the quiet living room were excited. Xia Shao turned around and saw her master Tang Zongbo and others walking out of the room, accompanied by Mr. Leng. This meant that the banquet was about to begin. Although it was a banquet for the Leng family, most of the guests focused their attention on Tang Zongbo first. Only Xia Shao glanced at everyone and saw a strange man at the end. He came out, closed the door, turned around and passed behind Tang Zongbo and others, then went upstairs and entered a room.
It was rumored that Xiao Yi had the ability to refine gods and return them to reality, so Xia Shao did not open her eyes on this occasion, but she was sure that it should be the leader of Maoshan, Xiao Yi!
Xiao Yiying entered Leng Yixin's room. The guests noticed but made no sound. Mr. Leng was the first to smile and said: "Everyone, I retired from Feng Shui for a year and went to Canada with my granddaughter Xin'er to take care of her old age. Now that my granddaughter is engaged, I came back to entertain the guests. I saw so many people coming to congratulate me. , thank you so much.”
After hearing this, the guests all exchanged greetings with Mr. Leng, but Zhang Zhong was the only one who snorted first. But he was short, so no one noticed him standing behind him.
It wasn't until the voices in the living room quieted down that Mr. Leng continued: "When my granddaughter Xin'er was in Canada, I was lucky enough to have a good relationship, and I was very happy. The Leng family has been on the road of divination for so many years. There are too many secrets, and now I only have one granddaughter. Now that she can live the life of an ordinary girl, as a grandfather, I bless her. However, this can be regarded as a coincidence. I really didn’t expect that I would My grandson-in-law is actually from the Feng Shui lineage. Haha, this is really fate."
The smile on Old Leng's face was both helpless and emotional, and he really felt that this was fate.
The guests were stunned. Ever since the Leng family announced their withdrawal from the world of metaphysics, they had left so abruptly that the building was almost empty the next day. Many people didn't know the reason for the Leng family's departure. As for the Leng family's life abroad, no one knows about it. It wasn't until they received the invitation from the Leng family that people in Hong Kong's upper-class circles knew that Leng Yixin was engaged in Canada years ago! No one knows who her fiancé is.
Some people speculated that it would be someone like an overseas Chinese businessman living in Canada, but they never expected that it would be a Feng Shui master!
"This can be considered a match sent from heaven, a match made in heaven!"
"Yes, Mr. Leng. Don't you know the name of this master? Please come out quickly!"
The guests congratulated each other and looked intently at the closed door upstairs.
Mr. Leng smiled, stretched out his hand to press it, called a servant, and said a few words. The servant went upstairs, knocked on the door, said a few words and then left.
Only then did the door upstairs open from the inside. The guests stretched their necks and stared as they saw a man and a woman holding arms walking out of the room. There was silence in the hall, and everyone was stunned.
There are brilliant lights above the heads of men and women. At first glance, they look right! The man's appearance is not very handsome, even a little ordinary, but this does not affect his sense of existence at all. He is in his thirties, has a calm temperament, and has a natural air of immortality between his brows. Standing in front of everyone, he had an ordinary face, but he had the bearing of a distinguished person. Especially now that he was standing on the second floor, looking down at the people in the hall, everyone felt as if they were looking up to him, as if they were being looked at by an expert.
But what stunned the guests at this moment was not only the unknown man, but also the woman beside him.
The woman is approximately twenty-five years old this year, but she looks to be in her early twenties. She is extremely well-known in Hong Kong circles. Since she started doing fortune-telling for others, her unworldly temperament has made countless rich men dream about her at midnight. But after not seeing each other for a year, her otherworldly temperament had faded a lot. Although she was wearing a white floor-length dress, she had a quiet smile. When she came out holding her fiancé's arm, she leaned her head gently on it and said She looks like a happy little woman.
The person hasn't changed, and his face hasn't changed either. Why has his temperament... changed so much? If anyone here were to meet Leng Yixin by chance in Canada, they would probably think they had recognized the wrong person!
There was no sound in the Leng family's living room. Mr. Leng smiled at this time and said: "Let me introduce to you. This is the grandson-in-law of our Leng family. His surname is Xiao Mingyi. His sect is the most famous in our Qimen Jianghu. The origin of Taoism is thousands of years old and continues to this day. Although there are few disciples today, they are proficient in the art of yin and yang and feng shui!"
There was a crash in the living room, a sect from hundreds of years ago? What powerful person? !
"Haha, grandpa, please stop praising me so highly. Our Maoshan lineage is indeed strong, but my ability is limited. When I got here, my disciples withered and there were only a few left. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to travel around and meet Xin'er in Canada. "At this time, Xiao Yi spoke. His voice is like his person, calm but calm. It didn't seem like he was being polite, but he was telling the truth.
The guests were shocked again, this time they exploded!
"Maoshan sect?"
"Hey! I've heard of this before!"
Maoshan, the holy land of Taoism! It originated very early, more than 5,000 years ago. According to legend, during the period of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, three brothers of the Mao family collected herbs and refined elixirs on the mountain to help the world and save the people. They were called the founders of Maoshan. This lineage has continued since then, and it is said that he is famous for catching ghosts and subduing demons. In Hong Kong, there are many movies based on Maoshan Taoism, but the real Maoshan disciples are mysterious in everyone's mind.
Leng Lao's grandson-in-law is actually a real Maoshan master? This magnanimity makes him look like a master indeed!
At this time, Mr. Leng raised his head and looked upstairs, and said with a loving smile: "Okay, you don't have to be polite. In the world of martial arts, there is no such thing as the number of disciples in a sect. The Maoshan lineage has a very early history, and you are the one you are today. The leader of this sect has a higher level of cultivation than me, so he doesn’t need to be so polite."
There was a gasping sound in the hall!
"Master?!"
"Is your cultivation level higher than that of Mr. Leng?"
"What a master!"
It was shocking enough to hear that Xiao Yi was a disciple of Maoshan just now, but now it was learned that he was actually the successor of the sect and the majestic leader. Looking at the mountain-like demeanor between his brows, Xiao Yi's image in everyone's minds suddenly became taller.
In awe and ingratiation, many people raised their glasses with smiles and blessed Xiao Yi and Leng Yixin. Leng Yixin held Xiao Yi's arm, listened to the blessing, and smiled quietly and elegantly.
Downstairs, Xia Shao looked at Leng Yixin with a strange expression. She lowered her eyes, covering up the strange gaze in her eyes, but she felt an indescribable feeling inside. I just feel something is strange, but I just can’t put it into words for a while.
And just when Xia Shao lowered her head, she caught a glimpse of Yi Ni's face next to her from the corner of her eye, and something wasn't right! Xia Shao turned around and saw Yi Ni's face alternately turning green and white, her eyes fixed on the stairs, filled with confusion, suspicion, shock, and hatred. For a moment, she couldn't see clearly.
Xia Shao asked: "What's wrong?"
"...Is it him?" Yi Ni's tone was very sure, but her eyes were a little confused, and she shook her head slowly after speaking.
"Who?" Xia Shao asked again.
"Him!" Yi Ni turned her head, her eyes like knives, brighter than the brilliant lights in the Leng family's living room, "He! Yi Tina's lover!"
"… "What? ! Xia Shao's eyes were startled and her face darkened for a moment, but she reacted quickly. The emotion only lasted a moment. She slowed down her breath, and at the same time stretched out her hand to hold Yi Ni's wrist pulse to help her adjust her aura and try not to let it go. Her emotions stood out too much in the crowd. Then Xia Shao turned around and lowered her voice and asked, "You mean Xiao Yi?"
"I'm not sure." Yi Ni said, "I was only thirteen years old that year. It was at night when I saw the man, and it had been many years. I'm not sure. I just felt like I didn't know the man's face. I can see clearly, but his temperament is very different. In all these years, I have never met anyone who looks like me. This leader of Maoshan... looks very similar!"
Very similar! That said, it's possible!
Xia Shao lowered his eyes and frowned slightly. She really didn't expect that although she had doubted Xiao Yi before, he was in Maoshan handling affairs at that time. It was also said that Yan Laosan had been expelled from the school for a long time, and he would soon be engaged to Leng Yixin. Tang Zongbo and others I don't think it could be him. Maoshan and Xuanmen are both sects that have been passed down for a long time. They have never had any grudges from beginning to end. Xiao Yi has no reason to deal with Xuanmen. Therefore, everyone quickly gave up the idea at that time. But tonight Yi Ni actually said that he looked very similar to his mother-killing enemy back then!
Indeed, with Xiao Yi's cultivation and the proficiency of Maoshan's magic, he is the one who can possibly do all this.
So, is it really him
If he is really Yi Ni's mother-killing enemy, then the person who killed Yi Tina, the person who plotted against Xu Tianyin behind the scenes, and the person who secretly helped the secrets in the capital were all Xiao Yi! He might be the one who manipulates the dragon's veins, plots against Xuanmen, and hurts Wen Ye.
This matter is of great importance, and Xia Shao will not make a judgment based on Yi Ni's words, but her words are indeed worth noting. When Xia Shao raised her eyes and looked upstairs, Xiao Yi and Leng Yixin had already walked down arm in arm. The two of them walked to Tang Zongbo. The servant brought tea, and they went to serve tea to Tang Zongbo.
Xu Tianyin was beside Xia Shao just now, and he naturally heard Yi Ni's words. However, Xiao Yi was only suspicious at this time and was not sure that the person behind the scenes was him. Therefore, although Xu Tianyin was as cold as ever, he did not act rashly. Xia Shao took his arm and the two of them walked over. Before walking over, Xia Shao whispered to Yi Ni: "Come with me, but pay attention to your emotions and don't show your hostility. His cultivation level is far higher than yours. If it is confirmed that it is him, Xuanmen I won’t let him go either. But we’re not sure yet, so don’t cause trouble.”
After saying that, Xia Shao asked Wen Ye and Yi Ni to follow him and walked over with Xu Tianyin.
When they passed by, Xiao Yi and Leng Yixin were finishing serving tea. Tang Zongbo smiled and blessed the two young people. The guests gathered around and applauded, and the atmosphere was warm.
Mr. Leng raised his eyes and saw Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin walking over. He smiled and said, "Is Xiaoshao and Tianyin's marriage coming soon?"
When the guests heard this, they all looked at each other. No matter how much news came from the capital, it could not compare to a word from the person involved. But neither Xia Shao nor Xu Tianyin answered. They looked at Xiao Yi and Leng Yixin who turned around.
"This is Mr. Tang's disciple? I've heard of him for a long time." Xiao Yi nodded and smiled at Xia Shao, and stretched out his hand naturally.
"Master Xiao, last year I heard from Master that there was a young master in the world, and I have wanted to meet you for a long time. I finally met you tonight. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Xia Shao was also very natural.
Xiao Yi smiled and shook his head, "Miss Xia, please stop teasing me. With Miss Xia's age and cultivation level at the same level as mine, it can be seen that her talent is far above mine. There are people outside, so this is a good thing."
"Master Xiao, you are so polite. Compared with you, I am a junior. Please give me more advice in the future." The greetings came easily to Xia Shao, but then she turned around and said to Wen Ye, "Xiao Yezi, Come meet Senior Xiao."
Wen Ye had been hurt by someone before about the Dragon Vein matter. He also heard what Yi Ni said just now, but at this moment he pretended not to know anything, "Senior Xiao."
"Who is this?" Xiao Yi asked.
"My disciple." Xia Shao replied.
There were sounds of surprise from all around, "Disciple? When did Master Xia accept a disciple?"
But what Xia Shao said personally was definitely not false. Everyone looked at Wen Ye and saw that he looked like a child of twelve or thirteen years old, but they looked at him as if they were looking at a future master! Xiao Yi's eyes also fell on Wen Ye at this time. After looking at him for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, "What a qualification! Miss Xia, to be honest, your disciple is a prodigy who practices the art of catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits! If this is done by It would be nice if I met him, our Maoshan lineage is specialized in this."
"Does Master Xiao want to poach people from my hands?" Xia Shao teased with a smile, but there was a deep meaning in his eyes. But on the surface, Xiao Yi didn't seem to know Wen Ye, "Xiao Yezi's qualifications are considered to be the best among Xuanmen disciples. I have accepted it, and I hope you will be kind and don't poach me. But There is a talented person here, who is not from our Xuanmen, do you think you want to take him over?"
Xia Shao's tone was joking, and she turned around to reveal Yi Ni behind her.
