Chapter 164

“Little crybaby…” Lu Jingyue was confused for a moment, then took Ling Wu’s hand and began to instruct her: “Don’t worry, just greet them humbly and bow when you go in, and then answer whatever Elder Meng asks.”

"Don't be nervous, and don't be afraid..."

She kept babbling on and on, telling Lingwu not to be afraid or nervous, but her own hand holding Lingwu's was trembling.

She was clearly the one who was nervous.

After she finished speaking, fearing that it would take too long, she took the initiative to let go of his hand, and then reassured him one last time, "Don't be afraid, I'm outside."

Ling Wu nodded with amusement, but the seriousness on her face vanished completely as she turned away.

The door to the inner room opened from the inside, and Ling Wu slowly entered, her figure gradually disappearing as the door closed.

Lu Jingyue's lips were dry from nervousness, and she unconsciously licked them, but even that did not bring her any relief.

Just then, Nan Zhi behind him made a faint sound as his body collided with the protective shield on his body.

Lu Jingyue stared at him for a couple of moments before loosening her hands and walking towards him...

In the inner room

As soon as Lingwu entered, she saw an old man with white hair and beard kneeling on a prayer mat.

But the direction he knelt in was towards her.

Seeing this, Lingwu disregarded Lu Jingyue's repeated admonitions, and calmly watched as Elder Meng bowed three times to her.

Even after that, Elder Meng, dressed in a white Taoist robe, still did not get up.

Ling Wu opened her lips and said, "Please rise."

"I dare not accept such praise," Old Meng said humbly, bowing his head.

“Why should Elder Meng belittle himself?” Ling Wu raised her sleeve. “Get up and state your demands.”

Her voice was indifferent yet gentle, yet it commanded respect and prevented anyone from feeling any contempt.

Lingwu stepped forward and sat in the seat of honor.

Only then did Old Meng dare to stand up, and as he stood up, he bowed to Ling Wu again.

His full head of silver hair also indicated his age.

"I beg you, sir, to take me home for a visit," Old Meng pleaded.

“I am not a person of this world, but since I came to this world, I have always abided by the clan rules and never used my knowledge to prey on the people. I have always done good deeds and helped good people, hoping only for this one in a million chance that I can return to my hometown for a look.”

Upon learning that what he said was true, Lingwu picked up her writing brush.

Old Meng knelt down, never daring to look up at Ling Wu from beginning to end.

The next instant, a piece of white paper bearing the mark of Jinghong's brush fell before his eyes.

With tears in his eyes, Old Man Meng repeatedly kowtowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much, sir!"

He wasn't sure what Ling Wu's identity was, but there was no other possibility that she could possess such supernatural powers except for a deity.

Lingwu reminded him, "This is a travel document. You can leave directly after you've thought it through." Lingwu paused for a moment, "However, you have already passed away in that world. If you return, your time will also come in this world. You need to think it through carefully."

"Yes! I understand!" Old Master Meng nodded solemnly.

He already knew this, so he took the document without hesitation and immediately protected it tightly!

They were terrified of losing this one and only chance to see their blood relatives, teachers, and friends again.

After carefully putting everything away, he cautiously pointed to the shelf of fine wines beside him.

"I have heard that you, sir, are fond of wine. I have some rare and fine wine here. Although it is an ordinary thing, it still has some flavor. I am of humble ability, but I only use this to thank you for your kindness."

Ling Wu raised her eyebrows slightly but did not step forward. However, the wine that Old Meng was pointing to vanished into thin air in an instant.

Old Meng, who had been tense the whole time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that the adult has accepted it.

"There's something I need to trouble you with outside," Ling Wu's voice drifted into Old Master Meng's ears.

"I dare not accept such praise! This is what I should do!"

Just outside the door separated by a wall, Lu Jingyue's calmed heart tightened again when the door to the inner room opened. She unconsciously clenched her fists, startling Nan Zhi so much that he froze.

Fortunately, when Lu Jingyue saw Ling Wu, she took a few steps forward, her voice inevitably tinged with worry, "Little crybaby, are you alright?"

Ling Wu shook her head with a smile, but when Elder Meng, who followed behind her, appeared, he startled Lu Jingyue.

Because every time she came, Old Master Meng never stepped out of his inner room!

"Old Meng, what brings you out?"

She realized she had spoken carelessly and made a mistake as soon as she finished speaking. She hurriedly tried to apologize, but was interrupted by Old Master Meng waving his hand.

"No problem, no problem."

Old Master Meng's brows furrowed with tension. If he had known that the noble person was of such high status and could give him the document he had longed for for so many years in just a moment, he would have cherished Lu Jingyue.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it," he quickly waved his hand.

Now, Lu Jingyue couldn't help but show surprise on her face!

Her red lips parted, and her fox-like eyes widened slightly. She was so startled that she remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Old Man Meng let out a breath of turbid air, and then his face returned to its usual aloofness and indifference, which finally brought Lu Jingyue back to her senses.

She must have misheard!

Old Meng glanced at Nan Zhi, who was curled up on the ground. His eyelids twitched, and he instinctively blurted out a warning to Lu Jingyue not to use violence. However, after remembering Ling Wu's presence, he forced himself to swallow the words back.

"You can leave him to me, Miss Ruan, don't worry."

Lu Jingyue's mouth, which she had just closed, opened wide again involuntarily.

What did Elder Meng just say?

"Miss Ruan" "You"...

This is no less than the end of the world today!

Lu Jingyue swallowed hard, and finally, under Old Meng's gaze, tentatively took Ling Wu's hand.

This time, it was Old Meng's turn to be shocked, but after thinking it through, he regained his composure.

The important matters of the adults must be related to this little boy from the Lu family.

This little kid from the Lu family is truly incredibly lucky!

After the two left, Old Man Meng stood on the porch outside the door, bowing to Ling Wu's retreating figure for a long time.

She only straightened up after Ling Wu left.

He raised his hand and touched the documents he had carefully put away. After a moment, he wiped away the tears that had somehow streamed down his face.

The thin man standing behind him also had some moisture in his eyes, but he opened his mouth without making a sound.

But Old Meng could sense, "You've followed me for so long, I certainly won't forget you."

He will leave behind everything he owns and his trump cards after he passes away, as well as this position that no one dares to bully.

Old Meng looked up at the sky, which he hadn't seen in so many years, and the smile on his face was genuine.

Her smile didn't last long; upon seeing the man in a suit, with a cold face and an air of nobility, she reverted to her usual indifference.

Although Xin Li was surprised that Old Meng would step out of the room, he did not say anything. He just bent down and lowered his eyes. Just as he was about to explain his purpose,

He was interrupted by Elder Meng, who said, "I know why you have come here."

Xin Li was inevitably nervous. He waited quietly, but only received a faint reminder from Elder Meng:

"She is not someone you can even dream of."

——

On the bus

Lu Jingyue opened her bewildered, watery eyes, as if her soul had flown away.

"Sister Yue..."

"Sister Yue."

Lu Jingyue stared blankly at Ling Wu, and after she came to her senses, she nodded and asked, "Little crybaby, were you some kind of maidservant of Guanyin in your past life, or some great figure who descended to earth to undergo tribulation?"

She added, "You know what? I've never seen Old Master Meng so humble before." She hesitated for a long time before finally choosing a somewhat inaccurate "humbly."

After all, Old Meng was practically kneeling down and kowtowing to the little crybaby back then.

Ling Wu shook her head with amusement, "What if I'm much more powerful than those beings you mentioned?"

"Huh?" Lu Jingyue was shocked, then stammered, "Then will you dislike me?"

Seeing Ling Wu smile, Lu Jingyue was momentarily stunned before she spoke, "I'm going back to inherit the family business. I'll invest in any movies you want to film in the future! No one will dare let you come here for nothing again!"

In her panic, Lu Jingyue finally spoke the words she had kept hidden in her heart for so long: "From now on, my leading lady is you, and only you!"

"good."
