The first thing Xie Zhiqiu did when he woke up was to look for Huodou, but he didn't find him on the boat.

When they got out of the cabin, they saw that their ship had already docked at the pier, and there were many people from the Wu family guarding below.

Are they going to take her to the Wu family?

That shouldn't be the case. Apart from some interactions with Wu Chengyu, she has no other interactions with the Wu family.

It's not like he would go to so much trouble to settle the score with her after such a long time just for Wu Chengyu.

Someone from the Wu family below saw her, looked a little excited, and immediately ran away from the dock.

Seeing that the people below did not make any other movement, Xie Zhiqiu ignored them.

Half an hour later, Huodou appeared at the dock and boarded the ship.

From Huo Dou's words, Xie Zhiqiu learned that the Wu family's fortune teller invited them to his house for a chat.

But I was still practicing, so I didn't disturb her.

This made Xie Zhiqiu even more confused. Why did this fortune teller from the Wu family suddenly come to her?

Although she had done Wu Chengyu a little wrong, his death was not caused by her.

"Have you seen this fortune teller?" Xie Zhiqiu hoped to learn more information about this person from Huodou.

Huodou smiled and said, "I have seen him. This fortune teller is very interesting. You will know when you meet him."

Huodou's words made Xie Zhiqiu even more confused.

Who exactly is this fortune teller?

Led by the Wu family, Xie Zhiqiu and his party took a carriage to the Wu residence.

There was a lot of hustle and bustle along the way. Xie Zhiqiu lifted the curtain and saw a familiar face.

In order to avoid any trouble, she lowered the curtain and turned to talk to Huo Dou about the important things that had happened in Jiang Yuancheng during this period.

As expected, the biggest thing was that all the major families sent a lot of people out to sea.

Although it was not stated explicitly, Xie Zhiqiu knew that the people they found were probably those in the back garden.

After all, those people basically died at Jin Ning's hands.

Liang Yun and a group of fellow apprentices rushed to the dock, where they met a carriage. They stopped and looked back at the carriage until it disappeared from their sight.

When the fellow apprentices nearby saw Liang Yun stop, they also stopped.

After a long while, he asked, "Big Brother, did you find anything?"

Liang Yun didn't say anything, "Nothing, let's go."

Xie Zhiqiu and his companion arrived at the gate of the Wu Mansion. Huodou greeted the housekeeper at the door with ease and took Xie Zhiqiu in.

Xie Zhiqiu was puzzled: I have only been practicing for a while, what have I missed? Why does the evil spirit look like it is entering my home?

After crossing the front yard, the two arrived at a small courtyard.

The words "Zhanyuan" are inscribed on the plaque in the courtyard.

The butler stood at the door and did not go in. He just said respectfully to Xie Zhiqiu and the others, "The master is waiting for you two inside. Please come in."

The butler withdrew after the evildoer responded.

Xie Zhiqiu followed Huodou into the yard and saw a thatched pavilion in the yard.

Inside the pavilion, an old man in his sixties was kneeling on a cushion, staring blankly at three scattered copper coins on the low table in front of him, without moving.

Huodou sat on Bujia's left side familiarly, with a bohemian attitude.

Xie Zhiqiu was a little embarrassed, not knowing whether he should stand or sit.

Huodou saw that Xie Zhiqiu didn't sit down, so he waved his hand and said, "Qiuqiu, sit down."

Xie Zhiqiu glanced at Bu Jia, but Bu Jia still didn't react.

Since there was no objection, I assumed that he agreed and sat down at the bottom position.

At worst, Huodou is here anyway, so he can take responsibility for any problem.

The three of them said nothing, all staring at the three copper coins on the low table.

After a long time, Bu Jia finally responded.

Seeing Huodou standing by, he said, "You're here. Sorry, I'm fascinated."

Then he turned to look at Xie Zhiqiu and said, "Is this your sister?"

"Hello sir, I am Xie Qiu." Xie Zhiqiu took the initiative to greet Bu Jia.

"Thank you, Qiu." Bu Jia paused briefly and said quickly, "Okay."

"Fairy, don't be so reserved. I have something to ask of you." Bu Jia didn't waste time and went straight to the point.

Xie Zhiqiu turned his gaze to Huodou, wanting to ask him what was going on.

But Huodou looked as if he wanted her to be at ease, so Xie Zhiqiu could only force a fake smile at Bu Jia.

"I may not be able to help you with what you are asking for, sir."

In Xie Zhiqiu's eyes, this was a powerful Yuanying stage master, so why would he be of any use to him?

He wants to capture her and then ask Huodou for help.

Bu Jia was not angry either, "Fairy, you will definitely be able to help me."

Hearing this, Xie Zhiqiu became even more confused and gave Huodou a wink.

But Huodou still maintained that look that made her feel relieved.

Xie Zhiqiu could only bite the bullet and ask, "Sir, what do you want? How can it benefit me?"

He wanted to use this to reject Bu Jia, but Bu Jia's next words made Xie Zhiqiu suspect that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Fairy, I want to lead the Wu family and become your disciple." Bu Jia did not hide anything.

Xie Zhiqiu:? ?

Has the world finally gone mad?

A divine fortune teller in the Nascent Soul stage said that she would lead a family of immortal cultivators to become her disciples. Who is crazy about this?

Xie Zhiqiu's fake smile was about to break, "Sir, please don't joke with me. I'm just a small golden elixir. I can't afford it. I really can't afford it."

Bu Jia looked at Xie Zhiqiu firmly and said, "You are the only one who can bear it."

Xie Zhiqiu finally couldn't hold back any longer, stood up and said, "Please wait a moment."

Then he grabbed the gangster next to him and walked out of the yard quickly.

He lowered his voice, pointed his fingers in three directions, and said, "Brother, are you crazy? Or am I crazy? Or is the one inside crazy?"

"He's not crazy. He's right. Why not use the men who come to your doorstep?"

Hearing what Huodou said, Xie Zhiqiu took two steps back, stepped forward, grabbed Huodou's collar, and shook him hard.

"Who are you? Where did you put my brother? Let my brother out now..."

"I am your brother Xie Huo, Qiuqiu, let's not be so excited."

Huodou felt like his brain was about to be shaken into paste. He should not have agreed to Bujia's evil idea.

This is totally inconsistent with his usual personality. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. His Qiuqiu is not a fool.

Finally, Huodou was defeated and said, "Alright, alright, let's go in and talk."

Xie Zhiqiu looked at Huodou with suspicion, and the two of them re-entered the yard.

Bu Jia's speed was already very fast, but it still couldn't escape Xie Zhiqiu's eyes.

She was very sure that the man had retracted his head the moment they came in.

Obviously, I was eavesdropping just now, wondering what these two people were up to.

The three of them returned to their respective positions.

Bu Jia spoke first: "This is a long story, and it has to start from the beginning when I met the Wu family..."

Xie Zhiqiu: Is the long and smelly story of foot binding about to begin?
