On Xi's arm, the scars that had been left at this moment all disappeared.To put it hypocritically, it's like Cinderella who has been enchanted, and when she turns around, there is nothing left.

The previous month was like a dream.

I stared at our clenched hands for a while, then twitched the corners of my mouth: "My portion of the best in this world... will come from your hands."

I thought Wu Xie was asleep, but I didn't expect that after I cried silently, a very soft and subtle sentence floated down from the upper bunk:

"I promise."

>>>045 iron mouth

>>>It's so troublesome to think about the content introduction every time...

To Wu Xie, the jade seal in my hand is like a hairball placed in front of a cat, and he will never give up until he solves this puzzle.After booking the train ticket, he immediately called that Professor Qi and made an appointment. He originally set aside a few hours of buffer time, but he didn't expect that the delay of the train disrupted his plan.We went to the restroom in the waiting hall to wipe our faces casually, grabbed two pieces of bread and got into the taxi.

I have also been to Hangzhou—I visited once in my previous life when I was traveling, and I also stayed here for a while in this life before joining Old Man Chen, so when Wu Xie reported the destination to the driver, I knew what we were going to do. I went to a place in the suburbs of Hangzhou.People in our line of work seem to prefer to live in places far away from the downtown area, and I don’t know what kind of mentality it is. Of course, except for Ye Cheng, who exudes the aura of "I am an upstart and I am proud". I like to show off, I wish the toilet was made of gold, besides, it's not convenient to find a girl if I live too far away, isn't it?

Wu Xie, who had been flicking her hair in the rearview mirror, seemed to have heard my complaints, and leaned over and said to me in a low voice: "The person we are going to meet now is not a craftsman. That Mr. Qi is from the older generation in Hangzhou. I’m an antique dealer, and I’m a visiting professor at several universities now, so don’t miss it later.” After thinking for a while, he added, “But this guy’s background is not so innocent, if the things in your bag are not ghosts, As for Xi, you can ask him to help you... From your description, I always feel that your creditor is very cunning, and you will suffer a loss if you just use that to pay off the debt."

I squeezed his hand to make it clear.

It was an old man who opened the door for us. I knew it from Wu Xie's expression, and he smiled and leaned slightly: "Hello, Professor Qi." On the way here, Wu Xie kept looking at the scenery outside the window and told the driver Stopped once, the various adventures during this period allowed him to walk like flying with two large suitcases on his back, I saw him rush into a hotel, and rushed back 5 minutes later, panting and patted the driver's seat to signal the driver He drove, and then gave me a thumbs up: "It's done." It was because of Wu Xie's flash of inspiration that we didn't bring a lot of things to other people's homes like we were relatives.

Professor Qi looked a little weird when he saw us, and his wrinkled face revealed undisguised uneasiness and embarrassment.He moved his lips several times, but he didn't make a sound, and finally he sighed: "Come in."

Wu Xie and I looked at each other, and found that his eyes were also full of inexplicable, and then we held each other's hand in a tacit understanding, so we looked at each other and smiled again.

Professor Qi led us to the study room. As soon as we entered the room, we saw a man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with his back to us and his hands behind his back. The man was dressed strangely, wearing a little felt hat, and wearing the accountants of the old society in TV dramas. The gown that he only wears, looks like a cross talk talker.

Professor Qi respected that person, he walked behind him, bowed, and called out very casually: "Eighth Lord."

I was instantly taken aback by Regina, is this going to be a court scene or something?Baye?When I was stunned by the thunder, I heard Wu Xie murmur in a low voice with doubts: "Baye?" From the tone of his voice, I always feel that he knows something—well, maybe this Baba Grandpa and Sea Monkey Forbidden Wife are all his relatives.

As soon as the man turned around, I found that he was actually about the same age as Professor Qi. Could this be a leading figure in the academic world?That's why Professor Qi enshrined him like a Buddha?He swept his gaze across his face, then stared at Wu Xie for a long time, and nodded: "You look more energetic than Old Dog Wu when you were younger." After finishing speaking, he sat down on the chairman's seat with his legs slightly crossed. , took a sip of tea.

As soon as Wu Xie heard Wu Laogou's name, his eyes lit up immediately, and the restraint he felt when meeting a stranger for the first time disappeared, and he joked, intending to distance himself: "Yes, Ba Ye is worthy of being the old nine The senior with the deepest schemes in the middle, made the truth clear, and I also think I am more handsome than my grandfather. The junior is called Wu Xie, the innocent Wu Xie." After speaking, he gave me an elbow with a sneer.

Ba Ye snorted self-deprecatingly, put down the teacup, and sighed with infinite nostalgia: "It's not a matter of conspiracy, it's Xiaojiejiu, it's... I'm old, God won't sell me such a man with only a neck." There are people outside the soil, but it's a pity that the ability of the whole body is cut off like this, and there is no one to inherit the mantle."

My whole body has been numb by lightning strikes. Is this the rhythm of accepting Wu Xie as a disciple?From the moment I saw this person, I knew that I couldn't deal with him. Maybe this is the legendary physical disgust.I also said that after working with old man Chen, I have accumulated some experience in knowing people. The eighth master in front of me is very shrewd and scheming, and he has a faint sense of oppression. , Standing in front of him, I always feel that there is an illusion that there is nothing to hide, as if everything can be seen through by him.

Wu Xie probably didn't understand the meaning of these inexplicable words he said, and stood there for a while, looking a little at a loss.

"Qi Jing, take this..." He looked at me, Professor Qi immediately reminded "Xue Beifeng", Master Ba nodded, "Take this girl Xue out first, I have something to talk to Wu Laogou's grandson."

I unconsciously blurted out: "Why do you want me to go out?"

"Because your surname is Xue."

What kind of bad reason is this?What's wrong with my surname Xue?Has the surname Xue offended you?I was about to argue a few more words, but Wu Xie grabbed me, half pushed me out, and the moment he closed the door, he gave me a wink.

Sure enough, in less than 10 minutes, the door of the study opened a crack, Wu Xie poked his head out, looked around for a while, and finally raised his eyebrows and hooked his hands at me.

>>>>>>

On the car on the way back, I asked Wu Xie how he got me in, Wu Xie smiled triumphantly, and boasted: "I didn't say that, it would be very difficult to find someone smarter than me in the whole world... …Do you know why you waited for three or ten minutes? In fact, the old man had been studying the ghost seal for a long time. After he put down the ghost seal, he asked me a question, and I only answered one very tactfully, And it was this sentence——" Wu Xie dragged out his voice, intentionally whetted my appetite before continuing, "I took you in."

Qi Baye asked him: "... this thing... where did you get it?"

Wu Xie immediately replied: "The one named Xue outside gave it to me."

Hearing what he taught me, I was taken aback for a moment, and then I couldn't help but punch him with a smile: "Don't you think your words are so cheap, why didn't Baye Qi beat you to death on the spot!"

"...Fuck, you still have the nerve to talk about me? What was the first thing you said after you went in? You have the nerve to say my answer is cheap?!"

After I entered the study, Wu Xie immediately dragged a chair for me, side by side with the one he was sitting on.The two of us seemed to be graduates who came for an interview, nervously accepting the merciless scrutiny from the opposite Mr. Qi Baye.

Qi Baye looked at me for a while, probably thinking in his mind how much he could reveal the whole thing to me—in fact, I just stayed outside for 10 minutes, looking at the calligraphy and paintings that Professor Qi hung in the room. , After calming down, I also felt that I was really impulsive just now.Since Ba Ye Qi knows Wu Xie's grandfather, maybe they have some private matters to discuss between the two big families, it would be bad for me, an outsider, to be present.I'm not really worried about being kept in the dark, because Wu Xie will definitely pick and choose and tell me everything he can say in the end.

"Madam Xue, right? Since this ghost seal is yours, I won't exclude you... Tell me, how did the ghost seal come about?"

It wasn't until Wu Xie bumped me with an elbow that I recovered from the extreme shock: "O, O, O, O, O, O, O, O, O, O, O, O, O, O, O, O, O, O, O, O!"This jade seal is actually a ghost seal! ! !

"Speak." Wu Xie reminded me, covering her mouth with her hand.

I thought of Wu Xie telling me not to leak our identities in the taxi, so I stammered and replied: "I, I picked it up on the ground."

"..."

Wu Xie spit out a mouthful of tea immediately.

Thank you for the new society of Hexie, and thank you for being Hangzhou. I think if this was Qi Baye's own territory, Wu Xie and I might not be able to leave this door today.

>>>>>>

I don't have a place to live in Hangzhou, and Wu Xie also asked me with some embarrassment if I want to live in his house for a while, but I declined, and he scratched his head, so he didn't insist anymore.I couldn't tell if he was a little disappointed or relieved.The house he rented for me was not very far from his antique shop, so in the past two days I slept until I woke up naturally and ran to the antique shop, which made Wang Meng very depressed.

"Miss Boss, isn't it? You are here to get familiar with the business now? Don't fire me, I will work hard!" He circled me with a crying face.
