"What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy? Don't you know that an important meeting is going on inside? "The middle-aged man who walked out was exactly Vice President Nian. He frowned and asked.
As it turned out, they happened to be having a meeting on the investigation of the missing Cultivators. Because of the weakness of the Martial Arts Guild, the meeting was in an impasse. Everybody racked their brains but could not come up with a solution. Then, they heard noises outside. No longer in the mood to continue the meeting, they simply came out to check the situation.
"Vice President Nian, it's the two crazy girls who are causing trouble. They claim that they are looking for an unaffiliated Cultivator named Xiao Chen. After I asked them, I learned that he has been missing for more than a year. Therefore, I asked them to register at the counter in front, but they refused and kept pestering us for a while. I haven't had time to deal with them yet. I'm very sorry for interrupting your meeting. I'll drive them away right now!" The tall guard was also shocked and hurried to report respectfully.
Hardly had he finished his report when the tall guard immediately turned around and began to drive Jin Beibei and Xiao Xiao away like an eagle chasing away chicks. The two girls had alarmed Vice President Nian. If he did not take care of them soon, he would be screwed if his salary was deducted later!
"Wait!" Vice President Nian suddenly waved her hands and stopped the tall guard from driving them away. Scratching her chin, she mumbled, deep in thought, "Xiao Chen … The name sounds familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere before. But … I can't recall it now! "
Hong Zhu and Song Huawu had been standing at the back of the crowd. After hearing the name of Xiao Chen being mentioned, they looked at each other and walked to the front of the crowd at the same time.
Coming to the front, Song Huawu and Hong Zhu were dazed when they saw Jin Beibei and Xiao Xiao's faces. They searched their memories, only to discover that they had absolutely no impression of the two of them.
Song Huawu thought for a moment and asked first, "May I ask … who are you to Xiao Chen?"
Looking at the two beauties in front of her, who each had their own characteristics, Song Huawu felt that there was something weird in her heart. She did not know what was going on.
"Oh. My name is Jin Beibei. I am from the Jin family in the secular world. Xiao Chen is my cousin-in-law!" Although she did not know Song Huawu, Jin Beibei's intuition told her that the person was quite friendly and did not seem malicious. Therefore, she introduced herself first. Then, she pointed at Xiao Xiao and said, "She is Xiao Xiao from the Xiao family in the secular world. She is Xiao Chen's sister!"
"Oh, right! I remember now! The Xiao Chen of the Xiao family! Back then, I even helped Xiao Chen and Cheng Mengying's marriage as a peacemaker. No wonder this name sounds so familiar. I'm getting old and forgetful! "Vice President Nian slapped her thigh and said with a look of realization.
"That's right, that's right. Cheng Mengying is my cousin! I'm her cousin! " Jin Beibei was overjoyed. She hurried to add, "We are here for my cousin-in-law, but the guy at the door is not letting us in!"
The tall guard was sweating hard. He did not expect that the two crazy girls would be familiar with the person they were looking for, even though they did not know the leader! He was screwed. His future was in danger!
"Well … According to the rules of the guild, I am only following …" The tall guard was going to explain, but he stammered so hard that he could barely finish his sentence.
Vice President Nian glared at him. Then, she turned around and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, ladies. Since a lot of Cultivators from the secular world and the foreign martial arts world have gone missing recently, we are still investigating. But there is nothing we can do right now. It is our duty to be a guard. Please don't take it to heart. Just go and register yourself according to the rules first. Leave the rest to us!"
"Okay …" Jin Beibei and Xiao Xiao looked at each other. Knowing that they would not get any information this time, they nodded gloomily and turned around, ready to go to the lobby outside to register.
"Hey, you two, wait a moment!" Hong Zhu had been waiting for Song Huawu to talk, but she seemed to be in a daze, as if she were thinking about something. Therefore, he could only stop Jin Beibei and Xiao Xiao.
After stopping the two girls, Hong Zhu turned around and said, "Vice President Nian, I already know who Jin Beibei is. You can go back to your meeting first. Leave the rest to me! I'll take care of everything. "
After hearing Jin Beibei's introduction, Hong Zhu suddenly remembered that a message had been sent from Little Hong's pharmacy a few days ago, saying that a person named Jin Beibei had come to inquire about Xiao Chen and asked her to call back when she was free.
Although Hong Zhu was also looking for Xiao Chen, she did not know Jin Beibei, nor did she understand the relationship between Jin Beibei and Xiao Chen. Therefore, she did not take it to heart and forgot to call Jin Beibei back. She only remembered when she heard the name.
Jin Beibei blinked and eyed Hong Zhu up and down in confusion. Although she had heard of Hong Zhu's name before, she had never met the guy in person. Therefore, she did not know who the charming girl with the gentle voice in front of her was.
Therefore, when Hong Zhu and Vice President Nian mentioned that they knew each other, Jin Beibei could not help but feel that it was odd. However, since she had volunteered to help, she must know something about her cousin-in-law.
Naturally, Jin Beibei would not raise any questions right away. Instead, she wisely chose to remain silent.
"Alright. We'll go in now. You can come back to the meeting after you're done here!" Vice President Nian nodded and did not think too much about it. She turned around and led her people into the meeting room.
After seeing off Vice President Nian, Hong Zhu turned around and said to Jin Beibei, "Ladies, please wait in the lobby for a while. Song Huawu and I are in a meeting. We will come to discuss Xiao Chen with you immediately after we're done. Is that okay?"
"Okay! Then, Xiao Xiao and I will go and get something to eat first! After a day's journey, Beibei is about to pass out from hunger! "Jin Beibei hurried to nod her head. She touched her flat belly and exclaimed in joy.
She and Xiao Xiao had planned to find a place to eat on the way, but the mountain road was too rugged for them to find a decent restaurant. Therefore, they had been starving until now.
"That's fine too. There's a restaurant right next door. You can go there and eat first. We will go there immediately after the meeting is done!" Hong Zhu nodded. He left Jin Beibei's and Xiao Xiao's phone numbers carefully before he turned around and walked into the meeting room.
Song Huawu smiled and nodded at the two of them. She then looked at Jin Beibei thoughtfully before she turned around and followed Hong Zhu into the meeting room.
After Hong Zhu and Xiao Xiao were gone, Jin Beibei and Xiao Xiao pursed their lips at the embarrassed tall guard. Not wanting to talk to him anymore, they turned around and left the Guild of External Martial Arts Society for a meal in a restaurant.
