Chapter 021 Boy, boy

When I heard Mai Xiaorou say this, I didn't continue asking. We walked along the road to the parking lot of Maozigou Scenic Area, and then took a long-distance bus back to the provincial capital.

Mai Xiaorou and I didn't say much along the way. She was in good spirits, but I was a little tired. I don't know when, I leaned on Mai Xiaorou's shoulder and fell asleep.

When I woke up, the car was almost at the provincial capital.

I got up from Mai Xiaorou's shoulder a little embarrassedly, and she smiled and said, "You are still shy!"

I was afraid that Mai Xiaorou would say something that embarrass me later, so I quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, have you called Grandpa Mai? Do we need to contact him first?"

Now on the bus, if she says something too provocative, the impact will be too bad.

Mai Xiaorou said, when I was sleeping, I had already called and Grandpa Mai would come to the provincial capital tomorrow morning.

The bus arrived at the station soon. I pulled Mai Xiaorou off and took a taxi back to Chunxiao's residence in Cuidi.

When I got home, I had no idea to jump on the bed and fall asleep. I was really tired, especially my leg, which felt like it was going to be ruined.

It was soon the morning of the next day. I woke up a few times during this period, but after eating something, I fell asleep again. Mai Xiaorou knew that I was exhausted, so she did not disturb me too much.

Not long after breakfast, we heard the sound of knocking on the door. Before Mai Xiaorou opened the door, she said that Grandpa Mai was here. As expected, as soon as the door opened, she saw Grandpa Mai standing at the door, and I hurried over to greet her.

Grandpa Mai nodded at me, then looked at Mai Xiaorou and said, "You two are really causing trouble."

Grandpa Mai suddenly said this, and Mai Xiaorou pouted her mouth, and I was confused. Although our situation was very dangerous yesterday, we had already escaped. How could it be considered a big disaster? Could it be that he said that we would offend the Tang family because of what happened yesterday?

Grandpa Mai walked in and asked Mai Xiaorou to close the door, and then continued, "How do you provoke the Tang family? The Tang family is a master of the Taoist sect and has an important position in the North China Supernatural Branch. There are countless masters in their family. If you provoke them, aren't you afraid of exposing your identity?"

It's true!

Grandpa Mai’s words were scolding Mai Xiaorou. After all, I am still a person without practice and know very little about Taoism.

Mai Xiaorou said unconvincedly: "But there is really something strange about this matter. I suspect that there is a disaster on the top of the mountain. Grandpa, think about it. A side family of Taoism has put all the efforts of a family to seal it, but the Tang family wants to rescue him. Isn't this a disaster for the world? Do you let me sit still?"

Grandpa Mai sighed and said, "Forget it, you are already deeply involved in it anyway. It's too late for me to say anything. I'll take you to see someone today. If he is willing to help us, then we still have room to mediate with the Tang family. If he refuses to take action, the three of us will probably be in danger!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel surprised: "Grandpa Mai, what do you mean? Can the Tang family still kill people to silence them?"

Grandpa Mai snorted, "What can't you do?"

Grandpa Mai said it very seriously. Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying to me, I couldn't help but feel cold. I didn't want to die yet, especially because of a bad death.

Mai Xiaorou said angrily: "Just because the Tang family is a Taoist master, no one cares about them when they do these things that are harmful to the world?"

Grandpa Mai said: "Before coming to the provincial capital, I also carefully investigated the Tang family. I only know that the Tang family and the people in charge of the North China Branch have an in-law relationship. They are very arrogant in the North China territory. Moreover, the Tang family has always been cautious in their work style, so it is difficult for outsiders to catch their handles, so there is no way to find them to seek punishment."

Mai Xiaorou said two words fiercely: "Despicable!"

Grandpa Mai continued: "But now you two have found the Tang family's life gate because of Chen Yu's father. Do you think the Tang family will let you go?"

I quickly asked Grandpa Mai what to do next.

Grandpa Mai looked at the time and said, "It's still early, but we don't wait here. Go to Tangfu Teahouse, and that person asked us to meet there."

I quickly said, "Tangfu Teahouse, isn't that the territory of the Tang family? We are not going to fall into the trap now?"

Grandpa Mai didn't explain much, so he asked us to clean up and prepare to go out.

Before leaving, Grandpa Mai gave Mai Xiaorou a talisman and said, "This is a talisman I specially asked for for you. Put it close to you. Ordinary masters will not be able to see your identity as a 'corpse', so we will be less dangerous when we go to Tangfu Teahouse."

Mai Xiaorou took the talisman and quickly put it away.

I became more and more curious. Who did Grandpa Mai ask for the talisman? It sounded very powerful. I couldn't help but be curious about the person who draws the talisman.

I know that Grandpa Mai came to find us, but did not directly ask us to go to Tangfu Teahouse, just to give Mai Xiaorou this talisman.

Soon the three of us arrived at the Tangfu Teahouse. Old man Tang on the first floor looked up and saw that it was me. He frowned and said with an unhappy look: "It's you again?"

I said, "Let's go upstairs for tea and don't look for anyone."

Old Man Tang looked at Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou behind me, then nodded and said, "Two fellow Taoists, let's go upstairs first. I have something to say to this rude boy."

Seeing that I had not practiced, Old Man Tang directly despised me several levels. Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou clearly came together, but he respected the latter but disdained me, which made me very upset.

Mai Xiaorou was about to say something, Grandpa Mai pulled her and said to Old Man Tang: "Okay, let's go upstairs first, but the three of us are together, and there are still some things to discuss, I hope it won't take too long."

Old Man Tang said, "Don't worry, it's just a few words."

When Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou went upstairs, Mai Xiaorou looked back at me with concern, and I smiled and signaled that nothing would happen.

Although this teahouse is deserted, it is in broad daylight. I don’t believe that the Tang family dares to attack me here.

Old Man Tang looked at me and said, "You don't have to be so nervous, I won't do anything to you."

Only then did I realize that although I kept saying to myself that it was okay, I was actually extremely nervous and my body was shaking involuntarily.

I took a deep breath and sucked the breath according to the breathing method Mai Xiaorou taught me. In an instant, the cowardice of my body subsided, and a sudden momentum appeared on me, just like the temperament I saw from those who drank tea when I came to Tangfu Teahouse that day.

Old Man Tang was slightly surprised, and then said, "What I want to say to you is very simple. Don't continue to investigate your father and Liu Shengfu. If you continue to investigate, it will harm yourself and even make you lose your life."

This old man Tang is threatening me.

I didn't say anything because with my strength, I couldn't say tough words in front of Old Man Tang. Although Mai Xiaorou and Grandpa Mai would help me, I really don't want to pull them into the water because of my own affairs.

But I don’t want to give up. It’s about my father after all. If I don’t find out the truth, it will always be a knot in my heart, and I will never be comfortable in my life.

So I didn't make any statement in front of Old Man Tang, just stood there.

Old Man Tang continued, "What I want to say, after you finish speaking, you can go upstairs."

I said "Oh" and turned my head upstairs.

When I arrived at the second floor, I found that there were no other guests except the three of us. Shangguan Rong was receiving Grandpa Mai and Mai Xiaorou.

Seeing me coming up, Shangguan Rong smiled at me and said, "What? Is there another appointment with Mr. Zhang today?"

Shangguan Rong’s meaning is very obvious. I used tea in the name of Zhang Shao.

The tea here is so expensive that I can’t bear to drink it out of my own pocket, so I really can’t bear to say so, so I followed Shangguan Rong’s words: “Yes, I’ll call Mr. Zhang to see if this order can be waived today.”

Shangguan Rong's face suddenly became a little unhappy. She didn't expect that my skin would be so thick.

I really called Zhang Rui. When he heard that Mai Xiaorou and I were in the teahouse, he said he would come here immediately, and all the tea today was above him.

After hanging up the phone, we ordered a pot of tea, and Shangguan Rong left angrily.

After a while, Zhang Rui rushed over. He greeted me and Grandpa Mai and went straight to Mai Xiaorou. I suddenly felt that I shouldn't call Zhang Ruilai, he seemed to have ideas about Mai Xiaorou.

At this moment, I felt a little jealous.

However, Zhang Rui didn't do anything too much, just sat down next to Mai Xiaorou, and then called Shangguan Rong to change to a pot of spiritual tea.

Shangguan Rong heard that it was Zhang Rui's meaning, so he had to do as he did.

During this period, I introduced Grandpa Mai and Zhang Rui to each other.

After the introduction, Zhang Rui found a topic to talk to Mai Xiaorou. Mai Xiaorou was a little impatient and said to me: "Chen Yu, I want to sit next to the window, let's change the seat."

I said "Okay" and changed positions with Mai Xiaorou. I felt a little bored that Zhang Rui kept pestering Mai Xiaorou.

I even felt a little jealous.

At this moment, a "knock, knock" sound came from the second floor. The man was very heavy and every time he stepped on the stairs, he would make a particularly loud sound.

All four of us were attracted by the sound.

After a while, a boy appeared at the entrance of the stairs. He was wearing a black casual outfit, a black backpack behind him, and a baseball cap, looking very cool.

And there seemed to be something squirming on the backpack behind him, and there seemed to be something alive there.

"Who is Mai Tianwen?" The young man suddenly spoke, his voice clear and imposing as a rainbow.

Grandpa Mai nodded and said, "It's me, who are you?"

The young man smiled and said, "It was my master who asked me to find you. My name is Li Guidao!" (To be continued)
