After Tan Xiu left the Everlasting Feast Hall with Mu Wanying, who had been silent all this time. As soon as they got into the car, Mu Wanying smiled and said, "Tan Xiu, the more I get to know you, the more I find you unfathomable. I heard that the Everlasting Feast Hall is headquartered in Jingmen Island and has branches in Shanghai, the Imperial Capital, as well as Hong Kong. The business is very prosperous. It's just that I didn't expect you to be the owner of the Everlasting Feast Hall. "
"I'm just an ordinary person," said Tan Xiu.
"If you were an ordinary person, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any powerful figures in this world." Mu Wanying smiled. "The Magnificent Tang Corporation and the Everlasting Feast Hall. I'm really curious, how many properties do you have?"
"Just these two," said Tan Xiu.
"I don't believe it." Mu Wanying shook her head and smiled. "That's why I must contact you more in the future and learn more about your secrets. You know what? You're the one I'm most interested in, no one else. "
"Haven't you heard the saying that once a woman has an interest in a man, she won't be far from having her heart captured?" Tan Xiu snappily said.
"If you're really that outstanding, it's not a bad thing to have your heart captured!" Mu Wanying chuckled. "Maybe the most important marriage in my life will be solved just like that!"
"Material desires are rampant in this era." Tan Xiu shook his head. "The people's hearts are fickle and impetuous. It's said that femme fatale is the source of trouble. In this era, the more outstanding women surround you, the more troubles you will encounter. I don't like a chaotic life. I want to live a peaceful life and do my own things. Therefore, I don't dare to marry you, the first beauty in the Imperial Capital and the first campus belle of Shanghai University. If you want to get married, you'd better go and harm other men! "
"Tan Xiu, why do you say that I'm like a viper or a ferocious beast?" Mu Wanying coquettishly rebuked.
"You're better than a viper or a ferocious beast," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "Because you look more attractive than them."
"Pfft …"
Mu Wanying couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After a while, she looked at the scenery outside the window and asked, "Since you asked that couple to help you find a zither, where are we going next?" “
"One red heart, two cards in hand," said Tang Xiu. "We can't put all our hopes on them. If our old friend's wife doesn't want to lend them, we can't do it. Let's check online. Let's see if there are any shops selling zithers nearby. "
"Alright."
Mu Wanying took Mu Xiu Wanying took out and started.
Tan Xiu Tian.
In the fruitful orchard, Wei Jiangping and Chun Xiu had just returned by taxi. At the entrance of the orchard, they saw Han Jintong and his wife, Yin Yuee, waiting in front of a black Audi.
"Brother, I trouble.
Wei Jiangping strode to the front of the Han Jintong couple and said with a wry smile.
"Brother Wei, we naturally won't stand idly by since you're in trouble." Han Jintong shook his head. The Jade Wind Zither has been brought over. It's in the car. "
Wei Jiangping said gratefully, "Brother Han, I know that the Jade Wind Zither is Yue 'e's favorite. Even if you don't want to sell it, it's fine. He said that he can only borrow it for one night."
"Who is he?" Han Jintong asked in surprise.
"Tan Xiu!"
Wei Jiangping sighed.
Han Jintong frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on, Brother Wei? You and your wife went to Jingmen Island to inquire about the Everlasting Feast Hall and met Tan Xiu there? "
Wei Jiangping shook his head bitterly.
"We didn't meet Tan Xiu in Jingmen Island." Chun Xiu sighed faintly. "After our investigation, we found that the Everlasting Feast Hall in Jingmen Island is really mysterious. But it's a pity that we were discovered by the Everlasting Feast Hall's people when we only found out a little bit of information. After repelling the two Sentinels, we were surrounded by ten experts of the Everlasting Feast Hall. The average age of these ten people was in their thirties or forties. The ten of them joined hands and easily captured us. He also sent someone to escort us to the Everlasting Feast Hall in Shanghai. "
"What?"
Han Jintong and Yin Yuee exchanged glances and looked aghast at the same time. They were aware of Wei Jiangping and Chun Xiu's strength. In the present era, those who could be their match were very few and far between. How come the Everlasting Feast Hall only sent ten people to capture the couple?
This …
Wasn't this too inconceivable?
"What Chun Xiu said is true." Wei Jiangping forced a smile and said, "We were injured and captured by them with just ten people. As a matter of fact, we could sense that their cultivation level was lower than ours. However, their moves were swift and fierce, and the moves they used were very exquisite and deadly. If it were really a fight to the death, I'm afraid they only needed five people to kill us in a very short time. "
Han Jintong shuddered inwardly and asked, "How many experts does the Everlasting Feast Hall have?"
"I don't know." Wei Jiangping shook his head and said, "Just the number of people who surrounded us is more than 30. Some of them seem to be experts with unusual identities, yet they didn't even move. "
Han Jintong was silent for a long while and then faintly said, "We originally thought that after obtaining that cultivation technique and practicing it for decades, our strength would be extremely amazing, and there would be only a few people in this world who could be our opponents. But now we know that we're really sitting in a hole and looking at the sky. "
"The ancient country of China is filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and talented people." Wei Jiangping sighed. "Since there is such an existence like the Everlasting Feast Hall in the country, I'm afraid there are also other powerful forces. Furthermore, I'm afraid it will be as difficult as ascending to the sky if we want to make another breakthrough. Our only hope now is to see our son and daughter who were taken away by her in our lifetime. "
A glint flashed in Han Jintong's eyes as he asked, "Brother Wei, if we express our goodwill to that Tan Xiu, can we …"
Wei Jiangping shook his head and forced a smile, "Brother Han, I think it's best for you to give up this idea. Those people from the Everlasting Feast Hall are by no means good. Besides, I think it will be very difficult to make a breakthrough in our cultivation through the Everlasting Feast Hall, unless we pay an extremely heavy price. "
"I'm not willing to give it up if I don't try it," said Han Jintong. "I'll look for an opportunity to see Tan Xiu again in the future, hoping to get an opportunity to make a breakthrough."
Wei Jiangping's expression suddenly moved as he said, "Brother Han, if I remember correctly, your granddaughter and Tan Xiu should have a special relationship."
"Qingwu hasn't returned home since the last incident," said Han Jintong helplessly. "Even when I called her to ask about it, she just gave me a perfunctory reply. I only know that Qingwu was Tan Xiu's class teacher in high school. She now teaches at Shanghai University and is also Tan Xiu's class teacher. As for how they get along, I don't know. "
"Alright!"
Wei Jiangping nodded and said, "Brother Han, I need to go out and deliver the Jade Wind Zither to him. I believe he won't deceive people given his identity. "
"Go!" said Han Jintong.
On a certain commercial street in Shanghai.
Tan Xiu and Mu Wanying went to several shops, yet they still couldn't find a good zither of good quality. With Tang Xiu's eyesight, although he had a few zithers and was barely able to play them, the effect of playing the tune was likely to be much worse than expected.
Just as the two of them were feeling somewhat helpless, Tan Xiu received a call from Chi Nan and learned that Wei Jiangping had sent a zither to the Everlasting Feast Hall.
"I hope that Wei Jiangping has some ability and can help us find a good zither! Otherwise, I can only buy one at random and deal with it at night. "Tan Xiu sighed.
Mu Wanying still looked calm and relaxed as she chuckled and said, "I believe that even if it's a very ordinary zither, you can still play the most wonderful notes."
Tan Xiu smiled and drove the car back to the Everlasting Feast Hall.
Inside the General Manager's office, Chi Nan and Wei Jiangping stood in front of the sofa while the zither was placed on the tea table. However, the zither was wrapped in a silk cloth and its true appearance couldn't be seen.
"Is this the zither you sent?"
After stepping into the office, Tan Xiu's eyes fell on the tea table.
With respect in his eyes, Wei Jiangping nodded and said, "I borrowed it from my old friend's wife. This zither is called the Jade Wind Zither, a work of painstaking effort by a zither master in the Qing Dynasty. I don't know anything about zither, so I don't dare to evaluate this zither. "
Tang Xiu came to the tea table and gently lifted the satin cloth. What appeared in front of him was an exquisitely crafted zither with fine carvings. He could recognize the wood at a glance that it was made of Gold-Threaded Nanmu.
"Ding …"
Tan Xiu's fingers slid on the zither's strings, producing pleasant notes.
"This zither is barely good."
Tan Xiu nodded. He then looked at Wei Jiangping and said, "You can go now. Come here tomorrow night to get the zither."
Wei Jiangping hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth to speak. But after seeing Tan Xiu's indifferent expression, he swallowed back the words he wanted to say. He nodded silently and then turned to leave.
Tan Xiu wrapped the Jade Wind Zither in the silk cloth again. After picking it up, he said, "Chi Nan, if you come to Shanghai University tonight, wait for my performance and bring this zither back. Also, I need to tell you one thing. Help me find some good nannies for Colorless. "
"Understood," said Chi Nan respectfully. "I'll contact them later."
"Alright!"
Tan Xiu nodded. After leaving the Everlasting Feast Hall with Mu Wanying, they didn't directly return to the campus but went to the Bluestar Villa Complex instead. There were still three or four hours before the freshmen welcoming party in the evening, so after discussing it, they decided to take a break first and have dinner before rushing to the campus.
Inside the villa.
Mu Wanying picked up the phone and smilingly said, "Tan Xiu, the freshmen welcoming party tonight should be very interesting."
"What do you mean?"
Tan Xiu raised his brows and asked.
"A friend of mine just called me and said that a certain leader of the campus contacted Zhang Xinya, who is currently preparing for her concert in Shanghai, through a special relationship. I heard that the opening song of the freshmen welcoming party tonight will be Zhang Xinya's performance," said Mu Wanying with a smile.
