Chapter 151: Making A Fool Of Yourself
Xuan Xia had just chatted idly with Daoist Master Qin for a couple of sentences when Cui Cheng Zhi, who had just been treated by the Cui Family therapist, rushed over with towering rage.
In just this short distance, Cui Cheng Zhi had already cursed his parents countless times in his mouth.
This time, his target was not Qu Xingxuan, but he charged straight toward Xuan Xia.
Xuan Xia paused her chat with Daoist Master Qin, turned her head to look at Cui Cheng Zhi, already prepared, just waiting to see what Cui Cheng Zhi would do next.
As a result, Cui Cheng Zhi had just reached them when Cui Jue blocked him in one swift step, stopping him.
“Young Master Cheng Zhi.” Cui Jue’s tone carried a warning.
Unfortunately, Cui Cheng Zhi neither understood nor wanted to listen, roaring, “Get lost!”
Cui Jue did not yield, his line of sight shifting to the group of people who had followed Cui Cheng Zhi, finally landing on Cui Chengjin, saying, “Young Master Chengjin, both you and Young Master Cheng Zhi are injured, so hurry back to the residence to rest and have the physician check you again.”
The named Cui Chengjin tensed up, responding “Ah” in his mouth, quickly stepping forward to support Cui Cheng Zhi, “Brother Zhi, we…”
“Damn it, rest what rest, it was just this woman who broke my finger!” Recalling the pain from earlier, he was still trembling all over, his finger still numb.
No wonder they say the ten fingers are connected to the heart.
How could Cui Cheng Zhi possibly swallow this insult.
“Let go! Don’t pull me!” Cui Cheng Zhi wanted to go forward, but was firmly held back by the people around him.
Cui Chengjin glanced at Cui Jue’s expression, how could he dare to really let go.
Although he had a “Cheng” in his name and was called Young Master Chengjin, he was ultimately different from Cui Cheng Zhi.
Cui Cheng Zhi was the Cui Family’s precious young master from the main branch, while he, Cui Chengjin, was just a child from a side branch!
Among the Cui Family’s several key figures, Cui Chengjin did not want to offend any of them.
But if ranking those he did not want to offend, Cui Jue would definitely rank above Cui Cheng Zhi.
So Cui Chengjin not only did not let go, but also acted as a peacemaker, persuading Cui Cheng Zhi to let it go, that he had suffered so many injuries in the Illusionary Scenery, been tainted with so much Yin Sha Qi, so it was better to hurry home to see the physician.
“Cui Jue, have you forgotten your own surname? You traitorous old thing, you still dare to help outsiders?”
Cui Cheng Zhi also saw that the few people around him all listened to Cui Jue.
But this realization only made Cui Cheng Zhi even angrier.
With so many people present, if he could not teach her a lesson as he wished, how could he save face in the future?
Thinking of this, Cui Cheng Zhi glared fiercely at Cui Jue.
Cui Jue sighed, saying to him, “The master already knows about this side’s matters and is now rushing back with Young Master Cheng Lou. They should arrive home before midnight.”
“Don’t you damn well use my grandfather to pressure me!”
Cui Cheng Zhi had just roared when, the next second, his voice halted, and he asked Cui Jue again, “They’re arriving home tonight?”
Cui Jue said, “Yes.”
Cui Cheng Zhi knew he never lied, and seeing his serious expression now, he knew it must be true.
He cursed lowly a few more times, then turned to Cui Chengjin and said, “Grab that woman and take her home for me! I’ll deal with her later.”
The urgent matter now was, of course, to go back and wait for his grandfather.
Once Cui Cheng Zhi gave the order, he did not glance at anyone else and lifted his foot to leave.
Cui Chengjin was dumbfounded, his gaze shifting back to Cui Jue.
Should he listen to Cui Cheng Zhi?
Before Cui Chengjin got Cui Jue’s instructions, he first heard a voice asking, “Which Cui Family young master wants to grab whom to take home?”
The tone seemed to express doubt, but for some reason, Cui Chengjin felt a chill in his heart.
Following the voice, Cui Chengjin saw a man sitting in a wheelchair.
Just then, the man also cast a glance at him, that look clearly without any menace, yet it made Cui Chengjin’s hair stand on end as if saluting.
The next second, he heard a female voice again.
“Seems like me.” Xuan Xia took over the words in a flat tone.
Daoist Master Qin’s brows furrowed.
Cui Jue turned around, no longer as serious as before, even carrying a bit of a smile, saying, “You two need not mind, it was just Young Master Cheng Zhi’s joking words.”
He added, “The master is on the road home, and this old man must hurry back too, so I won’t stay longer. We’ll certainly give an explanation for today’s matter another day.”
With that, he signaled for the Cui Family members to leave.
Cui Cheng Zhi, who had not walked a few steps, turned back immediately upon hearing this.
“Old thing, you’re really taking my words less and less seriously now, huh? Hurry up and bring her back for me!”
“Young Master Cheng Zhi, don’t be so childish, hurry and go. Don’t keep the master waiting at home.” Facing Cui Cheng Zhi, Cui Jue’s face turned stern again.
But Cui Cheng Zhi’s stubborn streak flared up, and seeing no one following his orders, he simply pushed Cui Jue aside, planning to do it himself.
Daoist Master Qin moved his fingers, pushing the wheelchair forward to block right in front of Cui Cheng Zhi’s legs, staring fixedly at him.
Cui Cheng Zhi laughed in anger, “You in the wheelchair still want to play hero saving the beauty?” What kind of day was this, every tom, dick, and harry wanting to show off in front of him.
“Hiss…” Butler Cui Jue’s eyebrows immediately twisted into knots.
Hearing the sound, a spiritual light flashed in Cui Cheng Zhi’s mind, and looking at Daoist Master Qin in front of him, his expression suddenly changed.
It turned sarcastic, “Oh, so you’re the one in the wheelchair.”
Left and right calling him the one in the wheelchair, this made Xuan Xia unhappy listening to it.
She circled around from behind, standing beside Daoist Master Qin, “Why so sour? Jealous that he comes with his own RV?”
Cui Cheng Zhi: “…”
Even Daoist Master Qin couldn’t help but look up at her.
“I’m jealous of your ass!” Cui Cheng Zhi was about to reach out, but remembered how she had broken his finger in the chaos earlier, so this hand couldn’t extend properly.
Irritated, he could only shout at his own people again, “What are you all standing around for, do I really have to do it myself! Whoever twists her back for me, I’ll give a reward next month!”
However, no one dared to move.
A reward next month, that also required surviving to next month.
At this time, Yuan Zhongshu and his disciple finally walked over after venting their emotions.
Even without hearing Qu Xingxuan recount everything, Yuan Zhongshu couldn’t help but scold based on Cui Cheng Zhi’s current behavior, “What a disgrace.”
Xuan Xia heard this, her train of thought opened up, and she quickly followed with, “Not only that, he’s also full of himself.”
Cui Cheng Zhi, provoked repeatedly, was about to explode, but before he could do anything, he was restrained by several Cui Family members.
“???”
He was stunned for a moment, immediately cursing, “Idiots, what are you doing? Grab that woman!”
The few holding him did not speak, but their faces all showed bitterness; this was not their idea, they were acting on the butler’s orders.
Cui Jue spoke at this moment: “Young Master Cheng Zhi, my apologies. If you have resentment toward this old man, punish me when we get back.”
With that, he waved a hand at the Cui Family members.
The Cui Family members ignored Cui Cheng Zhi’s protests, curses, and attempts to pull rank, dragging him away.
Cui Jue was hurrying back and really could not waste more time here, so he made an old-fashioned fist salute toward Yuan Zhongshu, Daoist Master Qin, Xuan Xia, and the others, saying “Sorry.”
He did not forget to specially say to Daoist Master Qin, “Daoist Master Qin, please don’t mind the child’s innocent words. Another day, I will certainly apologize to Daoist Master Qin.”
As for which day, he did not specify.
The old man had slyly left a loophole.
Then, without waiting for a response, he hurriedly left the scene.
With the Cui Family side mostly gone, only a few were left, arranged to stay and watch over this Illusionary Scenery entrance site.
Xuan Xia looked up and found that the Ren Family side had quietly left completely at some point.
Not a single Ren Family member was left.
She didn’t know what was up with Ren Tongli earlier…
It was her own fault for being distracted by Daoist Master Qin and not paying attention.
But no matter, she could inquire tomorrow.
In just this moment, the place suddenly seemed deserted and desolate.
Only then did Qu Xingxuan step out from behind Yuan Zhongshu, incredulously asking, “Daoist Master Qin, how did you come?”
Yuan Zhongshu pretended to be angry and scolded, “You brat, it’s all because of you! If not for you, would Daoist Master Qin come?”
Qu Xingxuan sighed dreamily, “Ah? Daoist Master Qin cares about me this much?”
Was he really this important?
Qu Xingxuan first looked at Daoist Master Qin, then at Xuan Xia, feeling a mix of sourness and sweetness in his heart; after all, they had all come for him.
Seeing him happily floating in bliss, everyone gave him face and did not refute.
Yuan Zhongshu ignored the little fool and said to Daoist Master Qin, “Let’s go too. Daoist Master Qin, come sit at my place?”
Daoist Master Qin pondered for a moment, “Will it disturb you?”
After all, Yuan Zhongshu had not slept well last night.
“No disturbance. Anyway, I’m wide awake tonight too.” Yuan Zhongshu said meaningfully.
Thus, Daoist Master Qin nodded, agreeing to Yuan Zhongshu’s invitation.
Just as they were about to leave, Xuan Xia remembered, “Daoist Master Qin, did you come alone? Where’s Brother Li, didn’t he accompany you?”
Not exactly.
Daoist Master Qin said, “Outside, I didn’t let him come in.”
Only after Xuan Xia exited the mountain did she see bodyguards Li Xinze and Li Fu both there, but waiting in the car by the roadside outside the mountain.
She didn’t know why they hadn’t entered the mountain.
–
Once in the car, the whole car’s space was both safe and comfortable, and everyone’s expressions finally showed some relaxation.
As the car started, Daoist Master Qin asked Xuan Xia, “Send you home first?”
“???”
Xuan Xia: “Aren’t we going to Uncle Yuan’s to sit? I haven’t visited yet.”
Yuan Zhongshu chuckled without responding.
Daoist Master Qin, looking entirely considerate of her, said, “It’s late. Didn’t you say you have to go sign contract tomorrow?”
Xuan Xia: “…”
She glanced at the silent Yuan Zhongshu again, seriously suspecting Daoist Master Qin was about to pull another “cross the river and demolish the bridge.”
He had too many prior offenses!
She directly asked, “Are you sure? If you two want to ask Qu Xingxuan something, I know more than Qu Xingxuan, and I have a major discovery. Are you sure you don’t want to hear it?”
Qu Xingxuan turned back to look at her; how was she dragging him down too?
As for major discoveries, he had some too.
Moreover, he strongly suspected her so-called discovery was that the old man in the Illusionary Scenery did not attack Ren Family members!
Qu Xingxuan pouted, wanting to speak, but was stopped by a look from Xuan Xia, so he held back again.
The unaware Yuan Zhongshu and Daoist Master Qin exchanged a glance.
They quickly decided.
Daoist Master Qin looked away, and Yuan Zhongshu smiled, saying, “Then everyone come sit at my place. I just got some good tea recently, we can taste it together later.”
“Mm. Uncle Yuan, then we’ll impose on you.” Xuan Xia leaned back in her seat with satisfaction.
Feeling relaxed, she remembered Ji Ziyao.
Seeing it wasn’t too late, she quickly sent Ji Ziyao a message, saying she would go to the company tomorrow to sign contract.
Just to report she was safe.
