Chapter 265 Two Faithless People
Chapter 265 Two Faithless People
After Wu Xianhe finished speaking, he took out a finely carved jade plaque from his bosom and handed it over.
The servant took the jade token and examined it carefully. His expression immediately became respectful.
"So you are a distinguished guest of the alliance, and also the master's favorite disciple. Please wait a moment, I will go and inform you."
The servant turned around and trotted into the mansion. Not long after, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler walked out quickly.
"Master Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time. My master wants to see you! He misses you so much! He always says that among all the disciples he has accepted in his life, you, Master Wu, are the most promising!"
The butler smiled widely and gestured for Meng Ning and the others to come in.
"My dear guests, you must be tired from the journey. Please follow me."
Meng Ning and his companions followed the butler through several courtyards and arrived at an elegantly decorated reception room.
"Please wait here for a moment. My master is handling important matters and will be here soon."
The butler bowed and spoke in a very polite tone.
"Good work."
Wu Xianhe cupped his hands.
After the housekeeper left, Hao Guang approached Wu Xianhe and complained in a low voice: "Manager Wu, he clearly needs our help, but he wants us to wait here. This Mr. Lu is really arrogant."
Wu Xianhe smiled and explained, "Little Immortal, you don't know that my master is very busy with official duties. Please bear with me."
Meng Ning looked around.
Although this living room is not as magnificent as the main hall, it is also decorated in a very elegant and refined manner.
There are famous paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls and rare antiques on the tables. It looks like a small museum.
Every detail shows the heritage and taste of the Lu family, and also makes the people waiting feel not bored.
Suddenly, a familiar figure came into Meng Ning's sight.
It's her! The girl in green wearing the Zhong Kui mask at the Shuanglou Town market.
I didn't expect to meet you here.
The girl obviously recognized Meng Ning, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
The two of them looked at each other and were about to speak.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
But suddenly, a heavy sound of footsteps came from the inner room, interrupting their conversation.
When they looked over, they saw a wealthy old man with a plump figure and a round belly, who looked very much like Maitreya Buddha, charging towards them.
Meng Ning was shocked when he saw this. Oh my god, what’s going on?
Meat and egg shock?
"Old...teacher?!"
Wu Xianhe was stunned and exclaimed.
It turns out that the fat man who rushed over was the head of the Lu family, Lu Dahai!
Lu Dahai started running, and the fat on his body trembled and rose and fell like waves.
He was not wearing any shoes and ran out barefoot.
Normally, Guang Jiwu's walking should have made no sound, but he was too fat, and every step he took was like a sledgehammer hitting the floor, shaking people's hearts.
Wu Xianhe was stunned. This was the first time he saw his teacher lose his composure like this.
Lu Dahai, who is usually as steady as a mountain, is now as anxious as a child.
Of course, he also knew that the teacher's behavior was not because of him.
But for the people I invited.
Lu Dahai rushed to Meng Ning, grabbed his hand, and spoke incoherently with excitement.
"Friend Meng, you are finally here!"
"me……"
He said "I" for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Meng Ning was a little overwhelmed by his sudden enthusiasm.
"Master Lu, what are you doing..."
"Oh, what's the matter with the head of the family? Just call me Grandpa Lu!" Lu Dahai slapped his thigh and said generously.
"I saw it in the image stone. You fought in the Wangchuan River. You were truly a hero at a young age!"
He gave a thumbs up, his face full of appreciation.
“If you hadn’t eliminated all the black blood summoned by the great magical corpse, Sanchuan Town would have been turned into a deadly place long ago.
You are a great hero!"
Then Wu Xianhe held Ma Chao's hands again and praised him.
"Especially you, Master Ma Chao, I really admire your teaching methods for being able to teach so many outstanding disciples!
In comparison, I get a headache when I think of the group of unfilial children and grandchildren in our family.
I really want to learn from you on this point and learn a lot from you."
After praising Ma Chao, Lu Dahai began to praise Hao Guang.
"And friend Hao Guang, at such a young age, he can actually activate the great magical talisman, and he has such courage and boldness, it's amazing, amazing!"
"Grandpa Lu, thank you for the compliment."
Gao Haoguang smiled modestly, and he was also a little embarrassed by Lu Dahai's flattery.
"I was just lucky, just lucky."
"Hey, little friend Haoguang, don't be so modest!"
Lu Dahai waved his hand.
"Although I am not a seeker of the law, nor an expert, I still have some vision."
"You guys are all outstanding people, and you will definitely have a bright future!"
"Come on, come on, follow me to the main hall, let's have a good chat."
Lu Dahai pulled everyone in the living room and continued walking towards the main hall in the courtyard.
But before anyone had taken two steps, a strange voice came from the courtyard.
"Oh, these are the new group of 'experts' that Mr. Lu has invited."
"I thought it was so high. People who didn't know would think it was a great supernatural power. It turns out it's just a group of small supernatural powers."
"Yeah, only that sissy with heterochromia is the one with supernatural powers, the others, haha! Are just a bunch of rotten fish and shrimps."
"Mr. Lu is desperate and is trying all sorts of methods to bring in all kinds of people."
"Yeah~ You're not afraid of dirtying the Lu family's reputation!"
The two voices were sarcastic, singing the same tune and full of sarcasm.
When Lu Dahai heard this, his face instantly froze, and he looked at Meng Ning and others with an apologetic look on his face.
Meng Ning looked in the direction of the voice and saw two monks in robes with long hair leaning against the door, looking at them with disdain.
One of them was tall and thin, with a sallow complexion and sinister eyes, like a poisonous snake.
The other was short, fat and stocky, with a face full of flesh and a cunning look in his eyes.
Although the two men were wearing monk robes, they did not have the slightest sign of compassion of monks. Instead, they looked like two evil thugs.
Meng Ning frowned, and suddenly a surge of anger rose in his heart.
I was thinking, where did these two come from?
I'm just taking the job, what does it have to do with them?
"Looking at their attire, these two seem to be from the Hoten-in Temple, one of the most powerful families seeking Dharma in the world."
Haishan recognized the origins of the two people at a glance and explained in a low voice.
"The Yangzhou area has always been the territory of Baotian Temple. It is not surprising that the Lu family has Baotian Temple's seekers of Dharma here."
"only……"
Haishan seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Just what?"
Meng Ning asked.
"It's just that the Lu family's affairs seem to be quite difficult. I'm afraid these two can't solve it, so Master Lu asked for help from outside."
Haishan lowered his voice.
"Now that we are here, they are naturally upset because their limelight has been stolen."
After hearing this, Meng Ning understood.
It turned out to be the case.
This is jealousy.
The next moment, Meng Ning took a step forward with a sneer.
"Are you from Baotianyuan?"
The sound was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present.
The two people from Baotianyuan looked at each other, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Obviously, they didn't expect that someone in this group of people could tell their origins.
“I didn’t expect that we are still just ignorant people. That’s right, we two are disciples of Baotianyuan, a wealthy family seeking Dharma in this world.
The famous 'faith and loyalty' duo, Jin Wuxin and Jin Wuyi! "
"If you know what's best for you, get out of here."
"The undead situation in Yangzhou City is not something that weaklings like you who seek the Dharma with minor magical powers can get involved in."
"It would be embarrassing to leave now, but at least it's better than losing your life."
The two men spoke with contempt and did not take Meng Ning and his group seriously at all.
However, they were not finished yet.
"Crack! Crack!"
Two crisp and loud slapping sounds suddenly rang out.
The insults from the two people from Baotianyuan came to an abrupt end.
The cheeks of both of them became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
