As soon as the door opened, Xia Ruofei caught a glimpse of Ling Xiaotian playing chess with a middle-aged man in his fifties.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but smile. He thought to himself, "No one knows a father better than his daughter!" He was right!
Ling Xiaotian was holding a chess piece and thinking hard. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and looked over. Suddenly, he said as if he had been granted amnesty, "Oh! Ruofei is here! Quick, quick, quick! Come in and sit down! "
Then he threw the chess piece on the board and said, "Old Du, my son-in-law is here. Let's not play today!"
The middle-aged man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Old Ling, you're a man of many decades. How can you still be so shameless? I can kill you in three moves at most! "
Ling Xiaotian laughed and messed up the chessboard. He lied through his teeth, "You're bragging! Why can't I see that we're going to die? We're obviously in a stalemate, and we're evenly matched! "
The middle-aged man was so angry that his teeth itched. He muttered, "I've never seen such a shameless person like you!"
Ling Xiaotian didn't take it to heart. He said to Xia Ruofei, "Come, Ruofei, let me introduce you. This is Du Qinghong, the president of the Tri-Mountain Metaphysics Association. He's been my friend for many years. You can call him Uncle Du!"
Then Ling Xiaotian said to Du Qinghong, "Old Du, this is my son-in-law, Xia Ruofei!"
Du Qinghong was still a little angry at Ling Xiaotian's shameless behavior. He glanced at Ling Xiaotian and said, "When did Qingxue get married? Why didn't I know about it? "
Du Qinghong's words immediately made Ling Qingxue blush.
Ling Xiaotian smiled and said, "Future son-in-law … But the two children have a good relationship. Marriage is only a matter of time …"
Du Qinghong stood up and smiled gently at Xia Ruofei. He said, "Young man, I'm just joking. Don't mind me … I've been friends with Old Ling for many years. We're used to arguing, haha …"
"Hello, Uncle Du!" Xia Ruofei said politely.
"Hello, hello!" Du Qinghong said with a smile. Then, he turned his gaze to Ling Qingxue and said, "Qingxue is getting prettier!"
Ling Qingxue smiled and said, "Uncle Du is also getting younger! When are you going to teach my dad some health care? You're only two or three years older than my dad. You look like you're two generations older … "
Hearing this, Ling Xiaotian could not help but laugh and scold, "Stupid girl! Don't be rude! How can you insult your father?! "
"I'm just telling the truth!" Ling Qingxue giggled, "Dad, why don't you ask Ruo Fei to get you some Yuji Ointment? You's is is is.. be! The wrinkles on your face are already … "
"I don't need that!" Ling Xiaotian waved her hand and said, "I'm a man. Why would I need such good skin? I'm not Uncle Rabbit! "
Ling Qingxue was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at Xia Ruofei and couldn't help but laugh.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but smile bitterly. He thought, "Am I being implicated? But I used to be a dark-skinned Special Warfare Elite! Now, my good skin is just a side effect of my practice. How did I become Uncle Rabbit? "
When Du Qinghong heard the words "Jade Skin Ointment," he pondered for a moment. It wasn't until Ling Xiaotian finished her sentence that he came back to his senses.
"Xiao Xia, so you are the boss of the Taoyuan Company!" Du Qinghong said. "I was wondering why the name sounded so familiar!"
Xia Ruofei said humbly, "Uncle Du, my business is just a small business. It can't be compared with Uncle Ling's business …"
"He has worked hard for decades!" Du Qinghong said. "When you reach Old Ling's age, your business will definitely be bigger than his! Xiao Xia! I see that your forehead is full, your eyebrows are protruding, and your eyebrows are broad. These are the signs of great wealth! "
Ling Xiaotian smiled and said, "Okay, okay! Old faker, don't show off your skills in front of me … "
Ling Xiaotian didn't believe in Du Qinghong's physiognomy. On the contrary, he was more interested in Feng Shui metaphysics. In fact, many rich people believed in it. As an old friend of Du Qinghong, his office was actually a Feng Shui setup by Du Qinghong himself.
It was just that he had a good relationship with Du Qinghong, so he spoke casually and joked with each other.
Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue, as the younger generation, naturally couldn't talk too much at this time.
Ling Xiaotian then asked, "Ruofei, are you here for Qingxue or for me?"
Xia Ruofei chuckled and said: "Both of them! I wanted to discuss the winery with you. In addition … I went out this time and got a good jade ornament. I think it would be best to give it to you, so I brought it with me today! "
Ling Xiaotian immediately said, "Let's talk about the winery later. First, show me the jade ornament you mentioned!"
Based on Ling Xiaotian's understanding of Xia Ruofei, if even he thought it was good, it must be very good, so Ling Xiaotian couldn't wait.
Xia Ruofei smiled and took out the Zhong Kui jade carving that he had engraved with array patterns from his bag. The jade carving was completely black, and the carving was almost perfect. It looked lifelike, and it was a little smaller than an adult's palm. It could be used as a decoration or as a personal accessory.
Ling Xiaotian was experienced and knowledgeable, but it was the first time in his life that he had seen such a high-quality black jade. Especially the Zhong Kui jade carving was so good, so Ling Xiaotian's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw it. He showed a strong fondness for it.
Du Qinghong was even more surprised. His eyes were fixed on the Zhong Kui jade carving in Xia Ruofei's hand. Even his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Ling Xiaotian immediately noticed that something was wrong with Du Qinghong. He couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Old Du, are you okay?"
Du Qinghong didn't answer Ling Xiaotian's question. He stared at the Zhong Kui jade carving in Xia Ruofei's hand without blinking. He asked in a trembling voice, "Xiao Xia, this … where did you get this thing?"
Ling Xiaotian heard that Du Qinghong's voice had changed, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He asked solemnly, "Old Du, don't scare me! Is … is there something wrong with this jade carving? "
Ling Xiaotian knew Du Qinghong's level in metaphysics. He had seen some of Du Qinghong's deeds in the past few years with his own eyes. He knew very well that Du Qinghong's metaphysics was not as simple as it seemed to be in the eyes of ordinary people.
Now that Du Qinghong's reaction was so abnormal, coupled with the fact that the Zhong Kui jade carving was made of black jade and was carved so vividly, Ling Xiaotian's first reaction was to wonder if there was something wrong with the jade carving, or even if it would bring bad luck or something like that.
Du Qinghong couldn't help but glare at Ling Xiaotian and say, "Something wrong? Old Ling, this is a rare magic weapon! I don't know what kind of luck you have, old man, to actually … "
After hearing this, Ling Qingxue couldn't help but exclaim — she knew that this was made by Xia Ruofei himself. How could it become a "magic weapon"?
However, Ling Qingxue felt that Xia Ruofei had gently pinched her soft hand, so she immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. However, she still turned to look at Xia Ruofei in shock.
Ling Xiaotian couldn't help but open his eyes wide when he heard this. He originally thought that this was just a jade ornament made of precious materials and first-class carvings. He didn't expect it to be a magic weapon.
He knew very well that Du Qinghong had a magic weapon, the jade gourd, that he always carried with him, and he had shown it off in front of him more than once. That jade gourd was only as thick as a finger, and it paled in comparison to the Zhong Kui jade carving. Of course, he didn't know that the value of a magic weapon wasn't measured by its size.
"What the hell is going on?" Ling Xiaotian looked at Xia Ruofei and asked.
Xia Ruofei was actually quite surprised in his heart. He was very sure that Du Qinghong had already seen the extraordinariness of the Zhong Kui jade carving, which made him feel very surprised.
Originally, Xia Ruofei thought that the formation pattern was invisible to the naked eye, so no one would notice the extraordinariness of the jade carving. He didn't expect Du Qinghong to see it at a glance.
Xia Ruofei was very sure that there was no trace of Genuine Qi fluctuation on Du Qinghong's body.
There were only two possibilities. Either Du Qinghong had never cultivated at all, or his cultivation level was much higher than Xia Ruofei's, and he could perfectly hide his cultivation level in front of Xia Ruofei.
The second possibility was very slim — in this environment with poor spiritual energy, unless Du Qinghong had a cultivation method that was much more profound than the "Dao Formula" and a large number of spirit crystals, how could he have such a high cultivation level?
Then, there was only the first possibility.
Xia Ruofei didn't know what the "magic weapon" that Du Qinghong was talking about was, because in his opinion, it was just a basic application of the formation. It was even much easier than the formation that he had made for Song Wei to suppress the peach blossom miasma.
"I don't know!" Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "I got it from a friend!"
Then Xia Ruofei looked at Du Qinghong and asked, "Uncle Du, what exactly is a 'magic weapon'?"
Du Qinghong looked at the jade carving enviously and said, "Xiao Xia, this jade carving is made of the best black jade. This kind of rare jade is widely used in our industry to suppress evil spirits. It was carved into the image of Zhong Kui, which means that the person who made this jade carving is also a knowledgeable person..."
Speaking of this, Du Qinghong paused and said, "The most important thing is that I can feel the special aura of this jade carving. Obviously, it has been blessed by an expert. Compared with ordinary black jade carvings, the effect of suppressing evil spirits is several times stronger! In our industry, this kind of thing is called a 'magic weapon'. "
Ling Qingxue was even more curious and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Du, then... the magic weapon must be very precious, right?"
