The colder Fang Shan acted, the more excited the big black dog became. In the end, Mr. Xiao couldn't stand it anymore: "What do you mean by wagging your tail and begging for mercy? Come back!"
Black Dog then looked at Fang Shan reluctantly and stepped back.
Dogs' IQs are not low to begin with, and the wolfdogs that evolved into spiritual pets are very humane.
Fang Shan was too lazy to look at those humanistic emotional expressions and turned a blind eye with his head held high.
Although he had heard before he came that his useless grandson had unexpectedly entered into a contract with a spiritual pet, Mr. Xiao was still skeptical. Now that he saw it, he was half relieved. Seeing that Xiao Qi is no longer as submissive as before, he is still a little relieved after all.
"I heard you picked it up from the vegetable market?" Mr. Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Wei Sushen nodded.
If a ghost exorcist wants to reach the top, he must have some good fortune, but such a bizarre one is rare in his life.
Fang Shan flew over and nestled on Mr. Xiao's lap obediently.
Xiao Jun's expression changed on the side, while Xiao Zhitong frowned slightly.
However, Fang Shan today subverted their understanding. Several seconds passed without even throwing an egg to hit the porcelain.
Transitioned
Just when Xiao Jun was wondering, the big rooster lightly flapped Mr. Xiao's arm with its wings, as if saying hello.
No matter how serious Mr. Xiao is, he still loves this big rooster, which he thinks is 'very well-behaved'.
The big rooster pecked a soapstone-colored ring on his hand with its beak, seeming very curious.
As people get older, their hearts will inevitably become softer. Mr. Xiao took it off and put it in front of Fang Shan: "Do you like it?"
The big rooster made a "clucking" sound, which looked so cute.
Mr. Xiao was amused and said half-jokingly: "If you can take it, it's yours."
Before he finished the last word, the big rooster turned into an afterimage and disappeared from his eyes. When he came back to his senses, the ring on his hand was long gone. Only the residual warmth on his arm reminded him that the big rooster had been here.
Fang Shan held the ring in his mouth and threw it to Wei Sushen, his eyes moved... Put it away, good thing.
Wei Sushen did not hesitate. What attracted Fang Shan's attention must not be just the high price.
All this happened too fast, and everyone's expressions were complicated when they reacted. As the person involved, Mr. Xiao smiled and shook his head after being stunned for the first time.
He has been in charge of the Xiao family for many years and has too many good things. The thumb ring is very valuable, but he doesn't value it too much. However, after carrying it for so many years, his thumb is suddenly empty, which is really uncomfortable.
Xiao Jun swallowed, thinking that his father would stop him and ask Xiao Qi to return it. Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhitong pretended not to see it and acquiesced in all this happening.
In a certain aspect, Xiao Zhitong and Fang Shan had the same idea: Why should they pay back what they took based on their own ability
Mr. Xiao laughed. After all, he couldn't argue with a big rooster, and sighed: "That's all, I'll give you a greeting gift."
Fang Shan buried her head in Wei Sushen's arms, looking quite shy.
Show!
Xiao Jun's hand holding the chopsticks tightened. This was clearly a showman's rooster!
It's a pity that Mr. Xiao didn't know about the bad deeds of Big Rooster in the past. After seeing it, he fell in love with it even more, and the surprise that he just had his finger snatched away disappeared in an instant.
"Sit down and eat." Mr. Xiao glanced at Wei Sushen who was standing still.
Wei Sushen sat down next to Xiao Jun. Seeing that the conversation here was over, the servant came over with the meat bones that had been prepared.
Mr. Xiao placed it in front of the black dog and asked by the way: "What does your spiritual pet like to eat?"
Wei Sushen said calmly: "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
“…”
Fang Shan didn't realize that they were born from the same roots, so he was too hasty. As soon as Wei Sushen put the peeled eggs in front of him, he started eating like a storm.
After he finished eating, he found that most people's eyes were on him, including the servants, who were all in disbelief.
As soon as Fang Shan raised his head, they each looked away.
Wei Sushen was the last one to put down his chopsticks. Mr. Xiao waited for him to finish eating and then spoke slowly: "Several other families have received news that you have a spiritual pet."
Wei Sushen nodded without any trace of nervousness on his face.
Mr. Xiao: "Although a spiritual pet only recognizes one owner for its entire life, it does not mean that it cannot be destroyed if it cannot be obtained sometimes."
The strength of a family depends on a steady stream of fresh blood, and Xiao Qi's sudden rise is bound to affect the interests of many people.
Wei Sushen's expression remained unchanged, and Mr. Xiao was secretly surprised. This was so different from before. Could a spiritual pet really affect the owner's personality to this extent
"I will pay attention."
Mr. Xiao retracted his thoughts and said slowly: "The four major families compete with each other internally, but they are united externally. If a genius appears, they will suppress them, and they will not develop to where they are today."
Wei Sushen thought for a moment and said: "Soldiers versus soldiers, versus generals."
Mr. Xiao praised it: "That's the truth. We don't interfere in the fights of young people. Success or failure depends on the individual."
Fang Shan lowered his head and said in a very soft voice: "The equipment sender is coming."
The implication is that I hope someone will find trouble quickly.
Wei Sushen picked up the water glass and hid the slight smile on his lips... It was not an option to always rely on touching porcelain. It was a good thing to have someone come to your door automatically.
Mr. Xiao changed the topic: "My descendants of the Xiao family must not be like cowards and stay in closed doors because of fear. Ghost exorcists can only become strong through training."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zhitong nodded slightly. It was normal to suppress him. It was not always smooth sailing when he first rose up. Provocations between peers can become the best whetstone if handled well.
The four major families are Xiao, Zhao, Qi, and Qiu. Among them, the Xiao family and the Zhao family are the most powerful. The strength of the older generation is not much different. The main thing is to look at the middle strength.
Xiao Jun seemed to have thought of something, his expression was a little strange, and he couldn't help but remind him: "The Qiu family should be the most careful here."
Wei Sushen: "Isn't the Qiu family the weakest?"
Xiao Jun gritted his teeth and said: "Qiu Xingluo is of the same generation as us, but he is just a person who does everything he can."
Judging from the tone, it was obvious that he had suffered a loss at the hands of the other party.
Wei Sushen and Fang Shan subconsciously sketched out a sinister and vicious image.
Xiao Jun: "It's not what you want. Qiu Xingluo is just a playboy, but his methods are very despicable."
Mr. Xiao said softly: "Whether he is uneducated or just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger is open to debate."
Xiao Jun was silent.
As soon as Wei Sushen took a sip of water, he heard Xiao Jun say: "He once hired someone to seduce me, make me indulge in love between men and women, and slow down the progress of my training so that his brother can win the young ghost exorcist competition."
"Cough..." Fortunately, I swallowed the water early and didn't choke.
Hearing this, Mr. Xiao smiled half-heartedly, and even Xiao Zhitong raised his lips: "There are no bad tricks, and it has been proven to be quite effective."
Xiao Jun tilted his head in shame and anger.
Wei Sushen didn't expect that there would be such past events, and he became somewhat interested in Qiu Xingluo.
"Know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in any battle." For the sake of his limited family ties, Xiao Jun spoke again: "What do you want to know about Qiu Xingluo? I can tell you what I know."
Wei Sushen: "How much is the money?"
Xiao Jun was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Wei Sushen: "How's the treasure?"
Xiao Jun continued to nod: "Qiu Xingluo cherishes his life and carries many good things with him."
Wei Sushen was thoughtful and said no more.
Xiao Jun frowned... Why don't you ask
Mr. Xiao thought of something and smiled without saying a word.
Qiuxingluo is just a dispensable episode. For Wei Sushen, the most important thing at the moment is to complete the task.
The Xiao family has never been ambiguous in their cultivation. Even Xiao Qi, the eldest son of Xiao Zhitong, would be kicked out of the family because of insufficient talent.
Mr. Xiao naturally wanted to check the progress of his juniors and compare them with the previous ones to see if there was any progress.
The so-called inspection method was to fulfill his request. According to Mr. Xiao's plan, they were asked to go to a house to exorcise ghosts.
The original person had never been there before due to lack of strength, but this time he was refused by Wei Su Shen.
Bai Ruo was anxious on the sofa and couldn't get a word in. She wanted to remind her son not to disobey his father-in-law.
"The reason?" Mr. Xiao narrowed his eyes.
Wei Sushen: "There are more important things."
"Exorcise ghosts or fall in love?" Mr. Xiao asked bluntly.
On the other side, Xiao Jun secretly cursed Qiu Xingluo countless times when he heard these words. One day, he would definitely beat that bastard until he knelt down and sang "Conquer."
Wei Sushen: "The former."
Mr. Xiao stopped talking and tapped his fingers on the armrest from time to time. Bai Ruo said quickly: "You and Jun'er go to fulfill grandpa's request together, and you can still take care of each other."
Wei Sushen ignored it.
"What the hell?" Mr. Xiao asked after a moment.
Wei Sushen: "Starving to death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of Mr. Xiao and Xiao Zhitong both changed. Xiao Zhitong looked at his eldest son critically and said sternly: "Are you sure there are starving ghosts in the city?"
Wei Sushen: "Naturally."
After that, he walked upstairs. He didn't like to talk in the first place, so he was too lazy to stay and continue to communicate.
The sound of the door closing was neither soft nor loud, but everyone could hear it, but Xiao Zhitong didn't care, and frowned: "How could there be a starving ghost?"
Xiao Jun whispered: "Could it be that my elder brother made a mistake in judgment, and the starving ghost is not difficult to deal with."
"It's not a question of whether it's easy to deal with it," Xiao Zhitong muttered: "Logically speaking, starving ghosts shouldn't appear in this city."
Xiao Jun didn't know, but Bai Ruo did know some inside information. There were special law enforcers on the outskirts of the city, and starving ghosts and ghouls were the two types that were focused on monitoring. Starving ghosts like to harm young people, and ghouls carry corpse poison. People bitten by them may be transformed into flying zombies. Under the supervision of law enforcement, it is almost impossible for these two kinds of ghosts to fish in troubled waters and enter the city.
"I'm going to find out the news," Mr. Xiao glanced at Xiao Zhitong: "Before that, don't let Xiao Qi publicize the matter of the starving ghost."
Xiao Zhitong nodded, indicating that he knew what was going on.
Room on the second floor.
At this moment, the big rooster disappeared, and instead there was a chubby little man standing in front of Wei Su Shen, and the two looked at each other.
Although he is fat, he is so energetic that even Wei Sushen has to admit that he is like a little god.
Wei Sushen: "What are you doing?"
Fang Shan touched his chubby face and said, "Use it as bait to catch hungry ghosts."
