The next day.
Near the headquarters of the Glorious Star Society in Beijing.
In a certain booth in the innermost part of the cafe.
"Master's Junior, Wang Ya Michinaga, have you heard? Grand Master and the others actually went down the mountain …"
Zhang Chulan put down his phone and glanced at Feng Bao Bao, who was eating beside him. Then, he looked up at the two people sitting opposite him.
"Moreover, they actually went down the mountain secretly. If it weren't for the people in the circle who saw them at the airport on their way back, no one would have known that these two old men had secretly gone down the mountain and come to Beijing …"
"Master and Master's Junior Tian went down the mountain together …" Zhang Lingyu was stunned when he heard this. Then, he frowned and thought for a moment.
"It's probably about Xiao Jiang. After all, they want to arrange that kind of identity for Xiao Jiang. If they don't give a reasonable explanation to Mount Longhu, I'm afraid that Master and Master's Junior Tian won't agree to it …"
"… Then do you think that after a reasonable explanation, the two Grand Masters will agree to this kind of thing?" Zhang Chulan asked again, as if he wanted to confirm something.
"It's possible …" Zhang Lingyu lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he suddenly shook his head firmly and said, "No, it's impossible. Master and Master's Junior Tian will never allow Xiao Jiang to be given that kind of identity. They also won't deny Xiao Jiang's existence and identity for the sake of reputation."
"What do you think Tenshi Province is …"
"I also think it's impossible," Zhang Chulan rested his chin on his hand and bit the straw in his cup with his mouth.
"Think about how much Grand Master Tian values Brother Liu as his disciple, and think about his attitude towards my grandfather. He didn't even close his mouth about the 36 thieves. How could he compromise with Su Cheng for the sake of reputation?"
"That's right!" Zhang Lingyu nodded in agreement.
"I say …" Wang Ye leaned on the table and looked up at the two of them. He yawned and said, "In Tenshi Province, an upright person is not afraid of a crooked shadow, nor is he afraid of any so-called damage to his reputation. But if that's the case … why did Celestial Master bring Tian down the mountain?"
"Tian clearly values Xiao Jiang very much. If he wants to explain the matter about Xiao Jiang to Xiao Jiang and arrange such a reasonable position for Xiao Jiang, isn't Celestial Master afraid that Tian will be infuriated?"
"I also doubt that …" Zhang Chulan nodded thoughtfully and said, "Logically speaking …"
"If things are as we speculate, Su Cheng from the company intends to explain the matter about Brother Liu in person to make the unreasonable position seem reasonable. Grand Master Tian has no reason to bring Grand Master Tian down the mountain."
"It's fine if Grand Master Tian can't move …"
"When Luo Tian performed the ritual on Mount Longhu, everyone could see that the old man treats Brother Liu like his own. The only difference between him and the Wang family is that Mount Longhu doesn't bully people, and Brother Liu isn't as useless as Wang Hei."
"I heard that Grand Master Tian hasn't left Mount Longhu for decades after that incident …" Zhang Lingyu couldn't help but wonder.
"Could it be that Xiao Jiang's situation has taken a turn for the better?"
"…" Zhang Chulan.
"…" The king was speechless.
"Grand Master, Brother Liu is already dead. Even if there's a turn for the better, what can he do? Can he come back from the dead?" Zhang Chulan couldn't help but shake his head at Zhang Lingyu. He wondered if his Grand Master was really stupid.
"I've already done the divination …" Wang Ye said helplessly.
"A while ago, when I heard the news of that guy's death, I didn't dare and didn't want to believe it, so I found an opportunity to do a new divination for that guy …"
"However, you should know that my method is a little special. That guy's situation … is similar to this unlucky guy who doesn't know when to stop. So, I can only rely on asking some seemingly unrelated questions and find the most important clues from the multiple answers."
"The result is that …"
"Liu Xiaojiang, this mutant, no longer exists, so the other ordinary people in the world named 'Liu Xiaojiang' have also begun to confuse my observation method in the answers to many questions …"
However …
At this moment …
"Hmm???" Feng Bao Bao suddenly stopped what she was doing and wiped the food residue on her mouth with her work clothes. Then, as if she had noticed something strange, she looked around the cafe.
Seeing this …
Based on their trust in Feng Bao Bao's ability, the other three people present also stopped slacking.
Zhang Chulan immediately sat up straight and asked in a low voice with a slightly nervous expression, "Big Sister Bao 'er, what's wrong with you? Could it be that … we've been discovered by the people from the Glorious Star Society?"
"Where's Old Qing? Isn't he watching outside with magic? How could he not inform us that the people from the Glorious Star Society are here? Could it be that he accidentally …"
However, before he could finish his words, he saw Zhuge Qing push the door open and walk into the cafe. He still had that fox-like smile on his face, but if one took a closer look … one would find that his smile seemed a little unnatural.
Then, just as Wang Ye noticed that something was wrong with Zhuge Qing and was about to ask what happened, the other three people present, except for Feng Bao Bao, were all stunned after seeing the figure behind Zhuge Qing.
"Long time no see, everyone …" Liu Xiaojiang reached out and pressed Zhuge Qing to the booth seat. Then, he sat down on the empty booth seat next to him and smiled at the five friends who were on good terms with him.
A moment later …
Zhang Chulan was the first to recover from his shock. He stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh hard. Then, he turned to look at Wang Ye who was sitting opposite him and said, "Old Qing, you said that he doesn't exist anymore.
"Old Wang, this is what you meant when you said that he no longer exists? If I'm not mistaken and I'm not dreaming, based on Sister Bao 'er's Qi observation skills that are stronger than all of us, this person … should be Brother Liu himself, right?"
Hearing that …
Wang Ye looked at Feng Bao Bao, who didn't seem surprised by this and didn't see anything strange about Liu Xiaojiang. Then, he looked at Liu Xiaojiang in disbelief and said,
"You … What's going on? Didn't you say that you died outside? My divination has also confirmed the authenticity of this matter. Why do you look fine now … Give us a reasonable explanation!"
"Xiao Jiang …" Zhang Lingyu's performance was the most touching. He usually looked indifferent and had a lukewarm attitude toward everyone. Now that he saw Liu Xiaojiang standing in front of him alive and well, if he didn't hold it in, he would have cried out of excitement.
"…" Liu Xiaojiang sensed Zhang Lingyu's emotions and couldn't help but feel a little flattered. However, considering the purpose of his initiative to look for them, he still smiled coldly and shook his head.
"I'm Liu Xiaojiang, but I'm also not Liu Xiaojiang. At least, I'm no longer the Liu Xiaojiang that you know. I think it's best for us to get to know each other again …"
At this point …
He gradually put away the smile on his face and slowly opened his mouth in an extremely unfamiliar and distant manner.
"Zhang Chulan, Zhang Lingyu, Wang Ye, Zhuge Qing, and Feng Bao Bao …"
"I already know what the five of you are thinking. Regarding the matter of saving Chen Duo from the Glorious Star Society, regardless of whether this plan will succeed in the end, I, Yinggou … will remember it."
