Driving to Tang Fu Teahouse, there were lightning and thunder in the sky. I felt like I had a phobia of lightning strikes. Every time I started to flash, I would subconsciously step on the clutch and brake for fear that I would be struck by lightning.
.
Fortunately, it is a rainy day and there are not many cars on the road, otherwise I would definitely be rear-ended.
After a while we arrived at Tang Fu Teahouse. As soon as the car stopped, Tang Xian came over to pick us up with an umbrella. After sending us upstairs, we found Zhang Rui and Tang Qing sitting at a tea table.
Seeing Nangong Fan and I going upstairs, Zhang Rui greeted me with a smile: "Chen Yu, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your strength has improved a lot. According to your current progress, you won't be able to do it by the end of this year.
I'm afraid I can open up the Heavenly Master altar and break the Heavenly Master status."
Tang Qing also said beside him: "That's true. Fellow Daoist Chen's progress is really rapid!"
I bowed to the two people and then asked directly: "What is the news? How is Mai Xiaorou in the upper world?"
I was a little anxious and couldn't control my voice, so I shouted a little too loudly.
Fortunately, there were no other guests in the teahouse, and it would not attract anyone's attention. Zhang Rui asked me to sit down first, and then said to me: "Chen Yu, don't be anxious. Although we have news about Mai Xiaorou,
But it’s just a very simple message, don’t be disappointed after hearing it.”
I asked Zhang Rui to speak quickly, and he said: "It's a senior of the Tang family in the Upper Realm. When he was going to a place in the Upper Realm to do business, he saw someone passing by while holding Mai Xiaorou down. He also tried to follow him, but he couldn't.
I had no choice but to follow him halfway and then lose him."
After saying that, Zhang Rui remained silent.
I looked at Zhang Rui and asked, "That's all?"
Zhang Ruidao: "Yes!"
I was very disappointed, while Nangong Fancong sneered beside me, as if he was laughing at me for getting such a little bit of useless news when I came over in a hurry.
Her sneer made me feel very uncomfortable, so I glared at her, but she didn't take me seriously at all. She stared at me and said, "Why are you glaring at me? I didn't catch Mai Xiaorou!"
Sensing the smell of gunpowder between Nangong Fan and I, Zhang Rui immediately said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have tricked Fellow Daoist Chen into coming here with this weightless news!"
I took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in my heart. It would be useless for me to be angry with Nangong Fanxong now. On the contrary, it would make myself even more unhappy, because with my strength, even with Nangong Fanxong
If you fight, you will be beaten violently by her.
After adjusting my breath, I said to Zhang Rui: "Anyway, there is news about Xiaorou. At least I know that she was just arrested and nothing else has happened yet."
Zhang Rui also said to me: "Those people went through many twists and turns to capture her to the upper realm, and they definitely didn't do it to kill her, so Daoyou Mai is not in danger of his life now!"
I also nodded.
At this time, Nangong Fanxong wanted to open her mouth and say something more harmful to me, but Tang Qing stopped her and said: "Fellow Nangong, your Shenmu Clan has some connections in the upper world. Can't you help Chen Yu check the news about Mai Xiaorou?
?”
Nangong Fancong said: "So what if we help him find it? With his strength, can he go to the upper realm to save people? Since he can't, what's the difference between checking and not checking? It's a waste of effort!"
Nangong Fan's words always make people angry. I really want to slap her, but I don't have the strength. Moreover, although her words are unpleasant, they are very reasonable. This is what makes me uncomfortable the most.
I didn't speak, and Nangong Fanxing didn't say anything that made me uncomfortable. Instead, he picked up a cup of tea and walked towards the window of the tea house.
The rain was pattering outside, and there was a "rumbling" of thunder from time to time. But in such a noisy environment, I suddenly felt that Nangong Fanzong standing by the window looked like an extremely quiet painting.
Like a poem, like a song.
Maybe it’s because Nangong Fan is so beautiful and her back is so beautiful.
Zhang Rui continued to face me: "Chen Yu, I have come to see you this time. I have one more thing to discuss with you. Tang Qing and I have been lifted from the ban, and we can take on cases again.
So can you let us work with you on your subsequent cases?”
I said, "If you want to follow me, of course I have no objection."
I couldn't be happier that they can come as free helpers.
Zhang Rui continued: "Although Tang Qing and I are both on this year's 100-star list, our rankings are somewhat unsatisfactory. You are a newcomer who has been trained by Brother Li Dao. If we can work on a case with you, we will definitely be able to do it."
Improve your ranking in the next selection!"
I felt sour in my heart. Zhang Rui and Tang Qing were banned for such a long time, but they were still able to enter the 100-star list, but I could only be 101!
But when I think about it again, I feel that my strength is far inferior to Zhang Rui and Tang Qing, so I feel more balanced.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Zhang Rui asked me again: "What, are you having any difficulties?"
I said: "Since I agreed, why would there be any difficulties? You are overthinking it."
Next, Zhang Rui stopped talking about Mai Xiaorou, the case and the Hundred Stars List. Instead, he started to introduce Lingcha to me. I was not very interested in Lingcha. It went in one ear and out the other, and I didn’t remember it.
How much to live in.
At this time, Nangong Fancong, who was drinking tea and enjoying the rain, suddenly said: "The tea is almost done. If nothing else happens, Chen Yu and I will go back first. It's a waste of time for you to talk nonsense here.
, with this little time, it’s better to go back and practice more.”
Zhang Rui smiled and said: "Drinking spiritual tea can replenish qi, and to a certain extent it is also a spiritual practice!"
Nangong Fancong sneered: "Have you ever seen that master drink tea? It's really ridiculous!"
Nangong Fancong really didn't give anyone any face, so Zhang Rui could only smile bitterly, "Haha".
I also stood up and said to Zhang Rui: "Return the car to you, Nangong Fan and I will take a taxi back."
Zhang Rui quickly shook his head and said: "I said to return the car just casually. Since you agreed to let me work on the case with you, the car will be regarded as my reward for you."
I looked at Zhang Rui and said, "Your car is not cheap."
Zhang Rui smiled: "It's not as valuable as the opportunity you gave me."
Since he said that, I won't be polite. Anyway, I'm used to driving his car.
When we left Tang Fu Tea House, Zhang Rui, Tang Xian and Tang Qing came out to see us off. After I drove a distance, the three of them returned to the tea house.
The rain outside began to slowly get lighter, but I still drove the car not fast. Nangong Fanxong asked me from the passenger seat: "Chen Yu, do you really want to know the news about Mai Xiaorou?"
I was stunned for a moment and said, yes.
Nangong Fancong said: "In a few days, when I return to the upper world, I will ask someone from our family to help you find out."
I asked Nangong Fanzong: "Didn't you say that with the current strength, we can't save Xiaorou, and the investigation will be in vain?"
Nangong Fancong snorted and said, "Forget it!"
I was stunned for a moment, slapped myself in the mouth and said, "I'm the one with a bad mouth. Don't worry about it. You'd better check it out for me."
Nangong Fancong said: "It's too late, I have changed my mind!"
I……
Next, I begged Nangong Fan several times, but she didn't say anything nice to me, so I stopped begging.
Just as the car was approaching Cuidi Chunxiao, Li Guidao suddenly called and I asked him if there was a twelfth case.
He didn't talk about the case first, but instead joked with me: "When we were separated, I was injured, so you didn't call me, but now I call you, you actually
You directly asked about the case and didn’t care about my injuries at all. It seems that I am not a friend in your mind!"
When I heard what Li Guidao said, I quickly said: "I didn't mean that..."
I really didn't mean that. I also regard Li Guidao as a friend in my heart. The reason why I didn't ask about the injury was because I subconsciously felt that he was a disciple of the Lord of the Supernatural, and no matter how injured he was, he would be healed, so
It's not that worrying anymore.
Before I could finish speaking, Li Guidao smiled and said: "Okay, I'll scare you. You go now and come to the wreath shop in the county. Your twelfth case has been settled."
I asked Li Guidao what the case was, and he told me to go there first. I told Li Guidao about Zhang Rui and Tang Qing working on the case with me, and asked him if it was okay.
He said: "I don't care about personnel arrangements. I only assign tasks to you. Whoever you can invite depends on your ability."
After hanging up the phone, I called Zhang Rui and asked him and Tang Qing to pack up and prepare to go to the case with me.
When we arrived at Tangfu Tea House, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing had already packed up and were waiting for me downstairs. After picking them up and getting into the car, Zhang Rui asked, "There was a case just after you left?"
I said, yes.
Zhang Rui asked me about the details of the case, and I said we would find out when we get to the county seat.
Zhang Rui and Tang Qing kept talking along the way, while Nangong Fan and I basically didn't say anything. Of course, what they both said was nonsense, and some of them were even flirting.
When they arrived at the county town and saw Li Guidao, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing bowed in unison.
Li Guidao led us to the reception room and said to us: "After I have arranged this case for you, I will go back to Longcheng to prepare for the battle for Dao Zun, so after you finish this twelfth case, you can take it again."
The case will go to Chengdu to find one of my uncles, Cai Yan, and he will continue to arrange other cases for you."
Zhang Rui and Tang Qing were immediately surprised when they heard the name Cai Liang: "But Cai Liang, the actual person in charge of the Southwest Branch and the Prime Minister of the Supernatural Lord?"
Li Guidao said: "I am just like Uncle Cai!"
I'm curious about what the clear phase is?
Zhang Rui explained: "Cai Yan, Senior Cai is Lord Shengzun's number one think tank. When Shengzun was in charge of the Southwest Branch, he made great contributions!"
Think tank!
I'm a bit reluctant to interact with people who are too smart.
Li Guidao continued: "Let me tell you about your twelfth case first. This case is called Man-Eating Mountain!" (To be continued)
