Chapter 4265 A Mismatched Couple
The three days have passed, and I have to leave.
However, I still ate breakfast at home. While eating, I told my family that Grandma Liu would be moving here in the next couple of days and asked my dad to help her with the move.
Hearing this news, the family was a little surprised, because they had tried many times to persuade Grandma Liu to come and live with them, but she had always declined with various reasons. They didn't expect that she would agree after I went there.
My family was puzzled by the reason, and I couldn't explain it to them. The main reason why Grandma Liu was willing to move here was because I told her that there was a danger in the house.
Grandma Liu's biggest worry was that it would cause trouble for my family, but when she heard that my family was in danger, she had to come over.
Before leaving, I took out some copper coins and yellow paper talismans and set up a sturdy magic array around my yard, which was the method taught to me by Li Banxian. I also left a note for Granny Liu, which I asked my mother to give to her when she arrived.
The note explained how to activate the magic array. Once activated, it would take at least one or two hours for anyone other than a master at the Immortal Realm to break it. Of course, the Immortal Realm was an exception; such masters could overcome anything with sheer force, and fancy tricks were superfluous in their presence.
If I can hold out for an hour or two, I can call the local special investigation team for support, and my family's lives will be safe. Then I can rush back as soon as possible, and there won't be any major problems.
We should try our best to keep them from moving, since my grandfather is so old and he would definitely not be used to moving to another place.
After breakfast, we called Xiaopang over. My parents drove us to the village entrance, and Xiaopang and I went to a nearby town, took a taxi to the bus station, and then returned to Yanbei.
When I got back, Uncle Hu saw that I hadn't brought the Eight-Tailed Fox back, so he started yelling and asking me where my wife had gone.
I don't know how to tell him about this. I can't just say he ran away again, can I?
He finally found a wife, but he hadn't had a Dharma body for over twenty years. Now that he finally has one, she's never home. This is causing quite a stir.
Eighth Master also likes to join in the fun, so he flew over from the next yard to ask me what was going on.
I had no choice but to tell Uncle Ba and Uncle Hu the truth: the Eight-Tailed Fox had gone back to deal with matters concerning their fox clan and would be back in a while.
Eighth Master was so angry he wanted to kick me, saying, "You brat, you don't usually go back with her. If she's in trouble, you could at least lend a hand."
I said, feeling wronged, that I had already brought it up, but my wife said it was a matter for their fox clan and I had no say in it.
Eighth Master was speechless with me, and immediately flew back to the neighboring yard in a fit of anger, just like a quail.
Although my wife has left, life still goes on. Right now, I still have a little over 100 million yuan left, but I feel it's not enough. Last time when I got the money, I bought a few gold talismans to carry with me. I didn't expect Tang Shangning to give me so many more. I should have known better than to spend the money on them.
There's one thing I haven't forgotten, and that is to continue searching for Huo Qingfeng.
Last time, he almost killed Zhang Qing'an's entire family, forcing them to move to Yanbei.
I was extra cautious when I went back to my hometown this time, partly because of Huo Qingfeng's situation, which made me quite paranoid.
If this scourge isn't removed, it'll be like a thorn in my heart, making it impossible for me to sleep soundly.
After I got back, I called Butler Jin several times to ask him if there was any news about Huo Qingfeng.
Butler Jin said he had been investigating but had no news of Huo Qingfeng. Butler Jin suspected that Huo Qingfeng might have left China and gone to another country.
Huo Qingfeng is too cautious. Even the Wanluo Sect can't find any information about him. This is quite frustrating for me.
There was nothing I could do but instruct Butler Jin to continue pushing this matter forward, and to contact me immediately if there was any clue about Huo Qingfeng.
So I stayed at home for a few more days. During that time, Uncle Hu introduced me to a small job doing feng shui, but I wasn't in the mood to go. Mainly because the Eight-Tailed Fox was gone, I felt empty inside and couldn't muster any interest in doing anything.
The only option was to introduce this small job to Master Zhou, who was perfectly capable of handling it.
Unexpectedly, two days later, two old acquaintances suddenly came to my house.
These two are Yang Mengfan and her brother Yang Tianxiao.
Come to think of it, I haven't seen these two siblings in a long time.
As soon as we met, Yang Tianxiao opened his arms and walked towards me: "Brother Wu, it's been a long time. I've missed you quite a bit."
I walked over, gave Yang Tianxiao a quick hug, and said, "Brother Yang, you must not be here unless you have something important to say. Is there some lucrative job you'd like me to help out with?"
Before Yang Tianxiao could reply, Yang Mengfan said angrily, "Brother Wu Jie, are you treating me like I don't exist? You didn't even say hello. I want a hug too."
As she spoke, Yang Mengfan opened her arms and ran straight towards me.
I was stunned and didn't know what to do when suddenly a dark shadow flew over from the neighboring yard.
"Oh my, my little Mengfan is here! I've missed you so much, Eighth Master! Quick, quick, let me give you a hug..."
As he spoke, Eighth Master suddenly snuggled into Yang Mengfan's arms and rubbed his head against Yang Mengfan's face a few times, looking like a lecherous old man.
Luckily, Eighth Master arrived quickly. If Yang Mengfan had actually come over and hugged me, I really wouldn't have dared.
Although my wife isn't here, I have a psychological trauma. If Little Fatty tells on me, it could be troublesome.
While Eighth Master was joking around with Yang Mengfan, Yang Tianxiao grabbed my arm and said with a smile, "Brother Wu, let's talk in private."
As we spoke, Yang Tianxiao and I went into the living room and sat down.
I picked up the teapot and poured Yang Tianxiao a cup of tea.
Yang Tianxiao took a sip and then said with a smile, "Brother Wu, let's not talk about business for now. Let's talk about my sister. She's not getting any younger. My family has introduced her to several men, all of whom are well-matched, but she hasn't even given them a second glance. She's offended a lot of my dad's friends. You should know what my sister is thinking. Tell me, what do you think?"
I quickly shook my head: "Brother Yang, don't joke around. Don't you know my situation? I've had a wife since I was born. I've always treated Xiao Mengfan like a younger sister. Don't try to play matchmaker, or we brothers won't be able to stay together."
