There were a few times when Wen Hui wanted to just leave with Nannan in her arms.
She wanted to leave without looking back.
However, when she saw the reluctance on her grandpa and grandma's faces, she couldn't steel her heart. However, she still called the female bodyguards downstairs and asked them to send someone up so that if something really happened, there would be a backup. Old Mister Wei was fine as he was a renowned medical expert in Yan Jing and was also a familiar elder. However, Wen Hui had no confidence in the master her uncle invited to help Nannan.
Even Lin Dong and Yun You You couldn't tell. Could an outsider who didn't know the inside story and had never seen Nannan be able to?
It all started at this moment.
Wenhui's heart began to be on guard.
It was only when the female bodyguards came up and stood guard outside the door that Wen Hui's heart calmed down a little.
Old Mister Wei's attitude was quite amiable and he didn't look like he came to Dong Mountain to pick a fight. However, the young junior behind him was completely different. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were very unfriendly. As for the taciturn middle-aged man, he was a bodyguard from Zhongnanhai, the top existence in the country. Those who weren't high-ranking officials in Yan Jing couldn't enjoy such treatment.
The host and the guest chatted happily.
Nannan was bored and fell asleep in her mother's arms after a while.
Wen Hui hugged her and absent-mindedly replied to her mother-in-law and aunt. Her mind was constantly thinking of an excuse to leave.
"I'm late, Brother Wei, please forgive me!" A tall man with a lion's nose, eagle eyes, and shoulder-length hair strode in from outside. His forehead was very wide and his hair was all combed back, giving him an extraordinary bearing. On top of his unusually large lion's nose was a pair of extremely sharp eyes. When people looked into his eyes, they would have a terrifying illusion of being pierced through the heart, making it hard for them to look straight at him. This person was tall and had a strong body. The muscles under his clothes seemed to contain infinite power as they bulged explosively. His most distinctive feature was his eyes. His pupils were slightly golden, and when they opened and closed, they were faintly discernible. Such an appearance was extremely unique and rare. Wen Hui had seen a lot of strong people, both foreign and domestic. As one of the official spokespersons of the Knights of the Sky, she had come into contact with many of them, but she had never seen anyone as dangerous as the man in front of her.
"…" When Wen Hui saw this long-haired man, the hairs on her skin instantly stood up. She felt as if a poisonous snake was crawling on her back.
Compared to the assassin from the Holy Chrysanthemum Revival Association who had attacked them previously, the person in front of them was on a completely different level.
If the Revival assassins were a bunch of rats.
Then the man in front of him was a cruel and bloodthirsty lion.
In fact, he was the perfect combination of a lion and a viper. Not only was he terrifyingly powerful, but he was also cold-blooded and merciless.
"Brother Duanmu, long time no see. You're getting younger and younger!" Old Mister Wei stood up to welcome Duanmu Huanghun. His attitude was much friendlier than before. He laughed heartily and said, "Little Yan said she was inviting someone. She was keeping me in suspense. I couldn't guess who it was, but I didn't expect it to be you, Brother Duanmu!"
"Welcome, Mister Duanmu!" Old Man Yan also extended his hand with great joy and shook hands with the long-haired man, "If it was anyone else, I really wouldn't be at ease. But since Mister Duanmu is here, my heart is at ease. I'm ashamed. We were originally in a secular family's dispute. I didn't expect that in the end, it would alarm you immortals to come and help us. We've disturbed your peaceful cultivation. We've sinned greatly! "
"Old Yan, there's no need to be polite. I have fate with your family. Ten years ago, I said that there would be a time in the future. Didn't it come true now?" This Mister Duanmu Huanghun looked extremely dangerous to Wen Hui. His gaze was as sharp as a blade, but his attitude was not the slightest bit arrogant. On the contrary, he was very modest and well-disguised. Listening to his voice, it was full of magnetism. No matter if it was his tone or voice, they were both top notch. If it wasn't for Wen Hui's sixth sense trembling, she might have believed that this person was a modest gentleman.
"Sit, sit, sit, quickly sit!" Nannan's grandmother personally poured tea for this Mister Duanmu.
As for Big Uncle and Big Aunt, they couldn't be bothered with Wen Hui.
They hurriedly went forward to greet him.
Mister Duanmu took the teacup and sat down. His hawk-like gaze inadvertently swept past Wen Hui and her daughter lightly before turning back. "I've heard about what happened to your granddaughter. If it was really done by someone from my Immortal Sect, such scum must be punished by me! Cultivation pays attention to one's nature. To be kind and quiet, to enter a state of meditation and emptiness. If extraordinary methods are used on mortals, it will be a great disaster. Not only me, but anyone from the Immortal Sect must draw their swords and help to eliminate those evil, corrupt, and evil people! "
Old Master Yan hurriedly thanked him. Even Old Mister Wei nodded repeatedly.
Wen Hui saw that she was finished.
If she stayed here, she might encounter a more serious consequence than the Revival Association's attack. At this moment, she couldn't care about anything else. She hurriedly found an excuse to leave. "Old Mister Wei and Mister Duanmu, you're both seniors. It's rare for you to meet. I'm just a junior. As a daughter, it's better for me to leave. I'll come and greet you tomorrow!"
She was afraid of being rejected. She pleaded to her grandparents, "Darling has fallen asleep. She has never slept well and is afraid of getting sick. She always wakes up from her dreams. I think it's better for me to bring her back to sleep and come back tomorrow."
"Be careful on the road!" Grandpa and Grandma were a little reluctant but their granddaughter's health was more important. Hence, they agreed.
"She was indeed poisoned in the past and suffered a great shock. However, she seems to be getting better now. Madam Wen, before you go back, can you tell me who did it? Looking at the technique, it's rather brilliant. It should be someone from my Immortal Sect. I wonder if I, Duanmu, know this hidden expert? " Mister Duanmu stood up and took a look at Darling. He frowned slightly but immediately nodded his head. He called the person who cured the venom an expert and had the intention to get to know him.
"You You introduced him. I don't know him either. I didn't even see who that expert was!" Wen Hui knew that she couldn't say anything about Lin Dong or Yun You You because Yun You mainly cultivated martial arts. She didn't know how to cure venom at all.
"I've heard of the little girl you mentioned. She's a genius in martial arts but curing venom … But she is someone from my Immortal Sect after all. It's not strange for her to know some experts and hermits. Some experts have strange temperaments and avoid people. It's also possible for them to be cured by fate. "Mister Duanmu didn't probe further.
Seeing that she had passed the test, Wen Hui hurriedly carried Darling and left with a bow.
She still hadn't left the house.
Mister Duanmu called out to her again.
He asked her casually and probingly, "Madam Wen Hui, is the evil-warding spiritual artifact that the little baby is wearing also a gift from that expert? It seems like this Daoist friend is very fated with your daughter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gifted her such a precious and powerful artifact! "
Wen Hui's body stiffened and her heart almost stopped beating. However, her innate acting skills as a woman instantly burst out, "Ah, this little bell is an artifact? Is it very valuable? I, I, I even gave it a red packet because of this. I thought it was just a souvenir like those Exorcism Pestle sold in the temple! Aiya, I only gave it five hundred yuan! Oh my god, this, no, I have to go back and look for You You. I have to apologize to the master! "
"Five hundred yuan, haha!" Mister Duanmu seemed to have been tricked by Wen Hui as he laughed, "If it's fated, so what if it's an artifact that can't be bought with money? Moreover, money is just a worldly possession that can't be brought with you in life or taken away in death. Since the other party is an expert, giving him more money would only be a burden, so why should you be distressed over it! "
"That's true!" Old Mister Wei nodded his head in agreement.
"Go, since the little girl is carrying an artifact, she will be able to protect you on the way. Go, go!" Mister Duanmu waved his hand, indicating that Wen Hui could leave.
"Thank you two masters for your guidance!" Wen Hui hurriedly carried Darling out of the door. Before she walked out of the door, she was still able to hold on. Once she walked out of the door and entered the elevator, her entire body almost collapsed. Luckily, the female bodyguard hurriedly supported her, otherwise she would have lost control and fallen.
Wen Hui repeatedly ordered the female bodyguard, "Quick, quickly get the driver to prepare the car. Also, give the class monitor a call and tell her to send someone over to pick up Darling!"
She did not dare to mention Mister Duanmu as she was afraid that she was not far enough away and the other party would sense it.
In the presidential suite.
Old Man Wei looked at the long-haired man, Mister Duanmu, "In my opinion, the little girl carries a baleful aura between her brows and is restless in her sleep. Although she did not wake up, her mental state is disturbed, so I don't know if it's a good or bad thing. Brother Duanmu, do you have any deeper meaning for letting her leave on her own?"
When the Yan family's grandpa and grandma heard this, they were shocked.
Mister Duanmu sat calmly as he waved his hand and smiled, "There's no need to panic. Before we entered, I already knew that the little girl would be facing a calamity soon. If we forcefully resolve it, it will be detrimental to her future growth. I believe that fellow Daoist also saw the calamity, so he gave her a precious spirit artifact early on to protect her in secret. As for letting the mother and daughter leave, hahaha, Brother Wei, Madam Wen Hui does not understand the people of the Celestial Sect, so she is afraid of me. How can I let her stay here? "
When he said this, the Yan family's grandpa and grandma were a little embarrassed. They could vaguely see that Wen Hui was in a hurry to leave because she was a little afraid of Mister Duanmu.
Big Uncle hurriedly came to the rescue, "Ah Hui is a mortal of the secular world. When she saw Mister Duanmu's might, it was inevitable for her to be afraid! Mister Duanmu and Elder Wei, please forgive her on account of her sincere love for her daughter and her eagerness to protect her daughter! "
Big Aunt also spoke up for them, "That's right, two seniors and experts, we mortals have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, please don't punish us foolish people of the countryside!"
Mister Duanmu laughed when he heard this, "You already said that you're a senior and expert, how can we not forgive you?"
Elder Wei also nodded in agreement, "You can barely be considered a senior, but I don't dare to say that I'm an expert, especially in front of Brother Duanmu. I'm just an old antique who has lived for another twenty to thirty years. Being a hundred years old but still looking like a middle-aged man, Brother Duanmu, who has such a technique to preserve his youthful appearance, such a person among the immortals, can be called an expert. This old man is just an old man who has lived for a long time! "
Mister Duanmu continued, "Everyone says that there's a technique to preserve one's youthful appearance, but only I know about my own body. How can a mortal body go against the laws of heaven and earth? A mere appearance is merely a secret spell used to deceive oneself and others. If I revert to my original appearance, I'm afraid that my appearance will be far from Brother Wei's white hair and youthful complexion, gentle and blissful! "
"Brother, if you praise me a few more times, this bag of old bones of mine is going to float to the sky!" Elder Wei burst out laughing.
"You're a hundred and twenty years old but you're still as vigorous as before, your physique is comparable to a young man's, and your lifespan is still going to end. Aren't you a living immortal in the mortal world?" Mister Duanmu also burst out laughing.
Laughter filled the house.
Downstairs, Wen Hui was trembling with fear. She had a feeling that tonight would be the same as the day of the banquet.
What terrified her was that she wasn't alone tonight, but she also had a precious daughter in her arms. If something really happened, what should she, who was so fragile, do?
