Star Trace Gate

Facing Ren Ye's question, Xu Bangzi replied calmly, "In the entire Love Village, only my family is engaged in the blacksmith business. Whenever the Xu family has a wedding, they will ask my adoptive father to do some crafts, such as repairing the ancestral hall, painting the iron gates, etc. These jobs require taking materials to do them in the mansion, so my adoptive father has seen some interesting things in the Shen family. He told people at home when he was free that Guo Litao's daughter, Guo Ying, always went to the Shen family to play with Shen Yuan, but this young man ignored Guo Ying and even mocked her. The two had two big fights, but in the end it was Guo Ying who gave in."

After all, the Love Village is not that big, so it is reasonable to outsource some small jobs to the village blacksmith.

Ren nodded slowly and asked again: "How much do you know about Shen Yuan?"

"I also know that Madam Shen dotes on Shen Yuan and pampers him a lot." Xu Bangzi said softly, "So Shen Yuan has always had a bad reputation in the Love Village and does things a little arrogantly. But this is normal. If I had a father like this, I would be even more arrogant than him."

Ren Ye seemed to be thinking: "What else? It would be better to tell us about Shen Yuan's personal characteristics."

"Personal characteristics..." Xu Bangzi recalled carefully: "When the incident happened in the Desire Village, Shen Yuan was about 18.9 or years old. Nearly years have passed, and he should be about or years old now. Is this considered a characteristic?"

Ren Ye's eyes were bright: "Okay, you continue."

"Well, besides that, my adoptive father also said that Shen Yuan is very good-looking and handsome, just like his mother, and he is about 1.8 meters tall."

"Gone?"

"That's all I know." Xu Bangzi shook his head.

Ren Ye stopped and looked at him with a cold gaze: "Why do I feel that... you have something else to sell?"

"Human nature is like this. No matter how much you give, it's not enough. No one believes you when you tell the truth." Xu Bangzi was very stable. He looked at Ren Ye and said, "I have said everything I need to say. It's useless to force me."

The two looked at each other for a while, and Ren Ye replied concisely: "Until your words are confirmed by me, I will be very cautious of you, is that okay?"

"......!" Xu Bangzi remained silent.

"Let me confirm what you said first." Ren Ye replied: "When there is a result, I will let my beloved concubine give you the antidote."

"That woman said her medicine will take effect within ten hours." Xu Bangzi replied speechlessly: "When can you confirm it?"

"I'll ask her to give you a small amount of antidote later." Ren Ye said calmly, "I definitely don't want you to die before we get the result."

"it is good."

Xu Bangzi responded rationally and decisively.

Under the moonlight, everyone headed for Gao's mansion. During this time, Ren also asked some details about Bangzi's childhood life, all of which were very unpopular, such as which direction the toilet door opened, which pit the swill was poured into, etc.

……

After a while, the birthday party team finally returned to Gao's house. There were more than thirty people when they left, but only a dozen returned. This result was considered very tragic.

When everyone returned, they thought that Butler Liu would be the first to go in and report to Master Gao, but unexpectedly, Master Gao's personal servant let Xu Bangzi in first.

Ren also noticed the expression of Butler Liu, but found that he was as steady as an old dog, with no change in expression.

About fifteen minutes later, Xu Bangzi came out with a calm expression and shouted, "Lao Liu, the master wants you to come in."

Mad Dog saw this scene and curled his lips and said, "I think this Master Gao must have had a cerebral thrombosis for at least ten years. I am drunk that he uses an undercover agent so much."

Everyone looked at each other and ignored him.

After Xu Bangzi shouted, he nodded at Ren Ye and went straight back to his room to rest.

A moment later, everyone saw Butler Liu, holding a wooden box containing the treasure, walk through the outdoor corridor, half bent over, and enter Master Gao's room.

……

In the host's room, the lights were dim as usual.

Butler Liu looked up and saw that Mr. Gao was still standing beside the desk as usual, painting on colored paper with a brush.

"master."

"Well, Xu Bangzi told me roughly what happened..." Master Gao spoke in a steady voice, looked up at Lao Liu with admiration, and said softly: "The result is good, Lao Liu, you have worked hard on this trip."

"Master, what are you talking about? This is what I should do." Butler Liu bent even lower.

"Let's not exchange polite words." Mr. Gao put down his brush and wiped his hands: "Where are the things?"

"brush!"

Butler Liu respectfully placed the wooden box on the table next to him and replied, "The things are inside. No one has ever seen this treasure."

"Very good." Master Gao walked to the wooden box and took a look. His eyes were neither hot nor ecstatic. He just asked calmly, "Who performed the best in stealing this treasure this time? Can he marry into my Gao family?"

Butler Liu considered it again and again, clasped his fists and said, "The one with the best performance must be the guy named Li Yan, but..."

"But what?" asked Master Gao.

"I heard from the steward of the Wang family that Wang Lili wanted to win over this man, seemingly because he has good luck. I'm afraid... he is not suitable for marrying into our Gao family." Butler Liu clasped his fists and replied to the point.

When Master Gao heard the word "luck", he frowned slightly and said, "That's indeed not appropriate. My small family cannot suppress this luck."

"Master, besides this person, I have another candidate." Butler Liu paused for a moment and said, "That person's surname is Liu, and he is from the same family as mine. Although he is a little slick, he is reliable. The most important thing is... when he fights, he will burst out with a vigorous breath of life. He is very capable. Even if you look at the Qijia Town, he is the top magical person. Moreover, this person has protected me all the way at the critical moment."

Master Gao was silent for a while. "Go ahead and have a rest. Let this Liu come in. I want to talk to him."

"Yes."

Butler Liu responded and when he was about to leave, he couldn't help but stop.

He hesitated again and again, then turned to look at the head of the family: "Master, there is one more thing, I don't know if Xu Bangzi told you. When we entered the Dragon Treasury, he betrayed us and escaped alone... Later, when we pressed him, he said that he got the information from you..."

Master Gao turned and looked at him, his eyes calm, and asked softly: "Old Liu, are you angry?"

"No, no." Butler Liu immediately bent his waist as low as possible: "I'm afraid of Xu Bangzi, hehe...!"

"You go." Mr. Gao's attitude fully demonstrated that he did have private instructions with Xu Bangzi before everyone set off.

When Butler Liu heard this, he immediately bent down and left the room.

Walking outside, a cool breeze blew.

There was a look of regret in Butler Liu's eyes. He seemed to think that the last question he asked was very childish, because Lao Gao's reaction when he saw Xu Bangzi had already explained everything.

After the regret, there was a slightly dull and disappointed look in his eyes.

"Hi!"

Butler Liu stood in the Gao family compound where he had worked for nearly twenty years. He just sighed but said nothing else.
