"Xi..." Chen Xiao was startled by his own voice as soon as he opened his mouth. His vocal cords tightened due to the sudden shock. After uttering a syllable hoarsely, Chen Xiao shut up. Feeling a little embarrassed for his lack of calmness, Chen Xiao moistened his throat before speaking again: "Master Xi, I am honored to see you again."
Xi Yunting nodded slightly and spoke in a low and powerful voice: "No need to be polite."
Pang Hemu was so excited that he was shaking all over and almost fainted. He stammered incoherently: "Xiao Han, ah? This, this, this person? Could it be the one you were talking about before..."?
He spoke incoherently, and no one could understand him, except Chen Xiao. He could understand the other party's nervousness and confusion, because he couldn't figure out how this person suddenly appeared in this place.
Chen Xiao bowed to Xi Yunting respectfully. He guessed that Xi Yunting came so low-key because he didn't want to attract attention by making such a big gesture. Seeing Xi Yunting looking at him calmly, Chen Xiao felt that he was right. Feeling relieved, Chen Xiao took a deep breath and said in a low but clear voice: "Master Xi, can we have a chat in the store?"
Xi Yunting didn't say anything, but walked past the two people and headed towards the Snow Seeking Immortal Pavilion. Chen Xiao pulled Pang Hemu, and the two followed him into the store.
Just now, the goldfish in the pool suddenly showed an alarming state, and everyone in the store was paying close attention. Chen Xiao and the boss ran outside one after another, and they followed them to the door. They also heard Chen Xiao's call, and before Master Xi entered the door, everyone quickly dispersed, not daring to block his way.
The head shopkeeper, other shopkeepers, and the staff were also nervous, but they were more awed. Unlike Pang Hemu, they were not overly fanatical about the immortal cultivators, and just stood respectfully in their respective positions.
As soon as he entered the door, he could see a uniquely shaped pool. Chen Xiao noticed that the goldfish inside were struggling to death until they were exhausted and began to turn over. Chen Xiao felt sorry. If he had known that this person would come today, he would not have dared to leave these little things in there to suffer. Feng Shui is the most sensitive thing, and it is often the first to be affected by changes. Although Xi Yunting did not mean to confront him, he was endowed with dragon veins, which was not something that the Feng Shui fish of this small shop could withstand. He was immediately frightened to death by this terrifying pressure.
He quickly called the waiter at the door and whispered to him to fish out the goldfish and find a basin of water to put it in.
Pang Hemu completely forgot that he was the owner of this shop, and just followed behind Xi Yunting, not wanting to miss a single word from him. Chen Xiao was helpless and had to step forward for him. Otherwise, in such a big shop, everyone would stand there like wooden stakes, leaving Xi Yunting alone. Who knows if he would get angry out of shame.
He still remembered that when the other party got angry, the head of the Fan family would be entangled in bad luck. He didn't want to be unlucky for the next ten years, so he could only treat this immortal master who came to his house for no reason well.
"Master Xi, may I ask if you have any instructions for me when you visit our shop this time?" Chen Xiao asked carefully.
Xi Yunting glanced around the store, and when he saw the shaking water, his calm eyes showed a hint of surprise. However, that emotion flashed away quickly, and soon his obsidian eyes became calm again, making people almost think it was an illusion.
"I heard that day that you were here to walk in the snow in search of immortals. I accidentally learned that it was in the county town, and suddenly I had an idea, so I came here." Xi Yunting spoke very clearly, and it was the most fluent Mandarin that Chen Xiao had ever heard in the world. However, the style of speaking was very different from that day in Fan Village.
The people of Dai country refer to themselves in a very common way, that is, "I". "Zaixia" is already very elegant, and the more vulgar and low-brow one is "boy" that he often used when he was a waiter. Calling oneself "Yu" is not common here. Fortunately, Chen Xiao has read countless ancient books since he was a child, otherwise he would not be able to understand what the other party said immediately.
Xi Yunting's words meant: I heard the other day that you learned the art of numerology by yourself in the Snow-Seeking Immortal Pavilion. I accidentally knew that this place was in this city, and suddenly I wanted to take a look, so I came here.
In Dai Country, people without the talent for cultivating immortals generally have a low level of education. For example, even Pang Hemu had a hard time listening, and the eyes of others turned directly to mosquito coils. It was already too much to understand. Chen Xiao didn't dare to follow him and said directly: "Please remember."
Xi Yunting added: "I see that you have achieved success in the art of numbers. If you persevere, you will have extraordinary luck. You can cultivate your character and temper your mind. You may be as good as a cultivator."
Chen Xiao looked at Xi Yunting in surprise. The meaning of this sentence was easier to understand. It meant that Chen Xiao's residential art had achieved some success. If he persisted, he would achieve extraordinary success in the future. At the same time, he had to cultivate his character and temper his mind. Perhaps his gains in the future would not be worse than those from practicing.
Xi Yunting must have been unable to see Chen Xiao's special physique, nor did he know that he could create a completely different cultivation system. It was really unexpected that someone who didn't understand Feng Shui could make such a judgment based on just two opportunities of contact. It can be said that Xi Yunting is not as aloof and indifferent as he appears, and he is very keen and insightful in observing things.
After all, this world is dominated by cultivating immortals, and everyone thinks that serving immortals is the priority. For those useless auxiliary abilities, they simply don't think about their uses and development prospects. For example, Zhao Fang from the Chongxuan School regarded the residential art as a minor path that was not worth mentioning, and didn't take it seriously at all.
As a cultivator, it is very rare and remarkable that he can put aside such prejudice and think. He can even lower himself and go to such a distance to talk to Chen Xiao, a person he has only met once, which shows that in addition to the above qualities, he also cherishes talents.
At this moment, Chen Xiao really admired Xi Yunting. He felt that this man who was so impressive because of his human-shaped dragon vein suddenly became more real.
At the same time, Chen Xiao felt a little sorry. He felt that Xi Yunting had excellent qualities that were worth making friends with. However, the status of the two parties was too different, and they were in different environments. He did not have the opportunity and qualifications to become friends with the other party. Suppressing his regret, Chen Xiao said sincerely: "Thank you for your kind words."
Xi Yunting pursed his lips, revealing a gentle expression. Then his face returned to calmness, and he looked around the store again, and saw nothing that attracted him. He tilted his head, gestured to Chen Xiao, and was about to leave.
No one could understand their conversation, but it made Pang Hemu very anxious. Seeing that the immortal master had finished speaking, he seemed to be leaving. Pang Hemu anxiously wanted to ask him to stay a little longer. It was so hard to be in the same room with a real immortal master, how could he not say a word to him.
So Pang Hemu, in a hurry, said with a dizzy head: "Master, please take a look at the antiques in my shop. There are complete categories and everything you need. There are rare antiques made by immortals, which are not available elsewhere!" After saying this, Pang Hemu was so annoyed that he wanted to bite off his tongue.
The shopkeepers beside him were also dumbfounded and looked at him. If he was using this to attract customers, it would be fine if he told others about it. Immortal antiques, unless they were rare items like the bronze tripod, were only considered valuable in the eyes of immortal cultivators. Their store only had some jade belts and utensils. It would be a joke to show the immortal master the daily necessities left behind by others!
Pang Hemu was devastated, and he wished he could find a gap to get into immediately. It was a shame to be thrown directly in front of the immortal master he had always loved, which made his life worse than death.
Chen Xiaonian took the initiative to smooth things over because his boss treated him well. He said, "Yes, the items in the store are genuine and are ancient. There are also immortals... immortal antiques, which are guaranteed to be items that have been passed down from ancient immortal cultivators to the present day."
Pang Hemu looked grateful, but others looked at him as if they had seen a ghost. The head shopkeeper sincerely felt that Pang Hemu had not promoted Chen Xiao in vain, no matter why. No one could match the thick skin of Pang Hemu who was willing to go out and accompany Chen Xiao in order to save his boss's face at a critical moment.
Xi Yunting stopped and looked at Chen Xiao with interest. Chen Xiao endured his guilty conscience and looked at Xi Yunting. Xi Yunting opened his beautiful lips like the moon in the sky: "Since your store is so kind, can I have a look?"
Why are you not being so pretentious now?! Chen Xiao roared inwardly. But he still smiled and nodded stiffly: "Of course."
Pang Hemu was about to cry. He was moved by Chen Xiao's loyalty and embarrassed by the embarrassment he was about to face.
However, Chen Xiao gave him a look that calmed him down, walked to the display stand of miscellaneous items, and carefully took a tooth card from the stand at the edge.
He actually took a tooth card!
This made everyone in the store feel very confused. Since the ivory plate was placed on the edge of the shelf, it meant that it was a very worthless item among the sundries. What on earth did Chen Xiao have the guts to pass such a thing to an immortal master as if it were an immortal antique? He really didn't know how to write the word death!
Just when everyone was panicking and their hearts were beating fast, and they felt that the Immortal Master in front of them was about to fly into a rage and accuse them of playing tricks on him and sentence them to death, Immortal Master Xi actually reached out and took the ivory card.
Chen Xiao, the guy with a bit of a guts, said seriously, "I can't tell what animal this ivory plate is made of. It doesn't look like ordinary ivory, it feels a bit special."
Xi Yunting looked at the ivory plate carefully, and was slightly surprised. He looked up at Chen Xiao with a meaningful look. He said, "This is indeed not ivory, but the tusk of a fierce beast called a saber-tiger beast, and it has been thousands of years old."
