He was surprised and asked, "Does Sect Master Yuan think so highly of you?"
He knew that Yuan Fengrong, the leader of Xuanmen, was always eager to seek talents and cherished talents. Lin Wu had a talent for Master Xuan and was also very capable. It was normal for him to want to recruit Lin Wu into Xuanmen. But Yuan Fengrong was taking it too seriously, wasn't he? Lin Wu asked, "Do you know how Xuanmen and I got together?"
"Because of those cases spread on the street?" Bo Yuting said.
Lin Wu shook his head: "Not at the beginning. Strictly speaking, the first person I met in Xuanmen was Yuan Fengrong, not Cheng Man. But I didn't know Yuan Fengrong at that time."
At that time, Lin Wu was a new comer, not yet famous in the circle, and had few contacts. Until one time, when she was on a business trip in the northwest, she accidentally saved a woman.
The woman was grateful to her and told her many things, including the story of Xuanshi. That was also the first time that Lin Wu had an intuitive understanding of Xuanshi. Later, she began to think of ways to learn to become a Xuanshi.
When the woman parted with her, she gave her a book for her to study.
The content of the book is quite interesting. Lin Wu studied it for a long time without sleep or food. She also found someone to teach her and finally touched the threshold of becoming a master.
After quite a while, Lin Wu met Cheng Man in a case. After that, they worked together several times. Cheng Man wanted to introduce her to Xuanmen, saying that she had a talent for cultivation. If she could learn systematically and in detail in Xuanmen, her achievements would be no less than his in time.
But Lin Wu was really not interested in joining Xuanmen at that time, as she had too many things to do. It was just that she didn't want to reject Cheng Man's kindness, so she agreed to meet someone from Xuanmen.
But who would have thought that silly boy Cheng Man would directly introduce her to his master Yuan Fengrong.
It was at this sight that Lin Wu discovered that the woman he had saved was actually Yuan Fengrong's wife.
When Yuan Fengrong learned that she had saved his wife, he was very grateful to her and invited her to join Xuanmen with more sincerity.
Even though Lin Wu refused, Yuan Fengrong did not give up. To show his sincerity, he privately gave her a lot of practice content and also guided her from time to time.
"That's how I became a Xuanshi." Lin Wu said, "Yuan Fengrong and I are considered partners, and he is also half my teacher. Maybe it's also because of what happened in my early years. He treats me differently from other Xuanshi."
Bo Yuting suddenly realized: "I have heard that Sect Master Yuan and his wife have a deep affection for each other, but unfortunately Mrs. Yuan was injured in her early years and cannot bear children, so they have no children to date. So Sect Master Yuan is raising you as a daughter?"
Lin Wu was stunned. "No. I do know that Sect Master Yuan treats Cheng Man as his own son and trains him as the next Sect Master."
Bo Yuting looked at her and chuckled, "Little girl, you can be more confident."
If he were to do so, he could understand the psychology of the people Lin Wu usually comes into contact with.
Lin Wu was too young. Anyone would feel awkward facing a younger person who was old enough to be her daughter. Maybe they were equal in status, but once they were in private and knew each other well, it would be difficult to treat Lin Wu as an equal. She couldn't help but give in.
For example, Xu Xianhuai.
No matter how many times Xu Xianhuai was cheated by the little girl, he could not get angry.
Lin Wu shook his head. "I don't have a close relationship with Sect Master Yuan. Over the past few years, I haven't been in touch with him as much as I have with Cheng Man."
"Yes, yes, yes." Bo Yuting took her hand and responded.
The two soon arrived at the East Suburbs, on the street where the Xuanmen headquarters was located.
The car finally stopped in front of a small group of old buildings.
At the door, there was already a gentle-looking middle-aged man waiting. It was Yuan Fengrong.
There were many people coming in and out behind him, basically all of them were members of the Xuanmen sect. They walked hurriedly and cast curious and puzzled glances at him from time to time.
"I'm going downstairs, you don't have to come with me." Lin Wu said as he put on his hat.
Lin Wu nodded, pushed open the car door, and was recognized by Yuan Fengrong as soon as he got out of the car.
"Daosheng!"
Yuan Fengrong crossed the road and called Lin Wu with a smile.
Lin Wu closed the door with his backhand, walked over, and asked directly: "Where is Deputy Sect Leader Cheng?"
Yuan Fengrong's face gave people a friendly feeling, and he did not have any of the majestic aura of the leader of Xuanmen. However, his eyes were actually extremely sharp, but they were just concealed by his amiable appearance.
"Wen Wei will be here soon, so I will come out right now and wait for you two."
Yuan Fengrong said gently, and asked Lin Wu with concern: "How have you been these days? I heard that Man'er was in danger abroad, and you saved him. Are you okay?"
Lin Wu shook his head: "Not really hurt."
"Really? It seems that you and Man'er didn't go to the same place?" Yuan Fengrong suddenly said, changing the subject.
Lin Wu looked at him steadily without saying a word.
Yuan Fengrong smiled slightly, his expression didn't seem to change. "Man'er hasn't shown up since he came back. Wenwei seemed a little angry that day. I guess there's some conflict between them. Although I'm their master, it's not easy for me to interfere in their affairs. If Daosheng knows why they are like that, please talk to Uncle Yuan, and I can find a way to persuade them, don't you think?"
"Is this what Sect Master Yuan wants to ask most after seeing me?" Lin Wu said.
Yuan Fengrong said jokingly, "I would like to ask you if what you said about considering joining Xuanmen is true as soon as I see you. But Uncle Yuan has thought about it. It's a bit strange that you suddenly want to see Wen Wei, and it happens to be the time when they are angry. Perhaps there is some connection between them? Uncle Yuan thought about it and decided that this matter is more important for the time being."
Lin Wu looked at Yuan Fengrong.
The other party was still smiling, making the words just now sound like a sudden and casual question, without any other meaning.
She also said calmly, "Let's go in and talk. I don't like being watched like a monkey at the door."
Yuan Fengrong's status in Xuanmen is unquestionable, and he is highly trusted and respected. People around him were very shocked that he actually came out in person to pick someone up.
In just a few moments, dozens of people had stopped and looked at them.
If she hadn't been afraid of Yuan Fengrong and didn't dare to take photos or talk secretly, the news that Yuan Fengrong came out to pick her up would probably have spread by now.
Yuan Fengrong nodded and said gently, "Come to my office. Xuanmen will be moving next year, so the office won't be used for long. You came just in time, so you can take one last look. With your busy schedule, I'm afraid that the next time you come to Xuanmen, you'll see the new office."
Lin Wu had no choice but to follow him.
Behind him, Bo Yuting in the car kept watching Lin Wu.
Just as they were about to go in, Yuan Fengrong suddenly turned around and met Bo Yuting's gaze through the car window.
Bo Yuting narrowed his eyes slightly.
The next moment, Yuan Fengrong turned his head as if he was just taking a casual look, and naturally withdrew his gaze.
The two disappeared from Bo Yuting's sight.
