Du Hui asked unhappily, "Where are you from?"
Everyone laughed out loud, and Du Hui himself couldn't help but smile, sighing, "I don't know what sins I committed in my past life to deserve such an injustice."
Then he said to Hu Xu, "Be more accommodating next time. Young people can't stand being provoked."
Lou Jing teased, "Oh, you're protecting me right now."
Du Hui glanced at him and said, "Your family should have said something too. He usually acts like he has no mouth, but this time he acted decisively, causing that evildoer to sigh and groan all day long. I've got calluses on my ears from doing this."
"I'm so happy that he can open his mouth this time, why should I greet him? Besides, your student is very arrogant, it's better to suppress him." Seeing that Du Hui was about to glare at him again, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, your student is very tough and can't be crushed."
Then he raised his glass to Du Hui, as an apology and comfort to his son.
Although Du Hui's face was still cold, he accepted the glass of wine and the two of them drank together.
The banquet was lively. Hu Xu noticed Xu Jiang had several books on her hands and asked, "What books did the host bring?"
This gave Xu Jiang an excuse.
"A few notes." As she said that, she handed the notes to Yuan Zuzhi.
Yuan Zuzhi looked at her in surprise, then reached out to take it. He flipped through it for a few seconds, seeing it was just an ordinary travelogue, so he asked, "What's so special about it?"
Hu Xu beside him took a peek and said, "The Four Towns of Anxi?" He couldn't figure out what Xu Jiang meant for a moment.
"Didn't you ask me to look for the Donglingzi Collection for you? I've gotten some clues these past two days."
When Xu Jiang said this, Yuan Zuzhi almost jumped up from his seat and cried out, "Really?" Then he picked up the books and asked, "Is this it?"
Xu Jiang nodded, and then told him the whole story.
"This is just speculation, there's no definitive conclusion. We'll have to wait until my friend goes to the Anxi Protectorate to investigate before we can get any results."
Yuan Zuzhi could hardly conceal his excitement. "Even if there's only a slight possibility, it's worth looking for." He then said to Xu Jiang, "Madam Xu, please tell your friend that I want to find this person and the book as well. If I find them, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
"I have already discussed this matter with him. However, finding someone to find the book is easy for him, but there is another thing that is difficult for him."
"If you have any concerns, Madam Xu, please feel free to tell me."
Lou Jing pondered and said, "I think he's afraid that even if he finds the person, the book won't be easy to obtain."
"That's right." Xu Jiang nodded. "This involves an important Dongling Sect book. My friend is from another tribe and is a merchant. I'm afraid he won't be able to gain the trust of the Dongling Sect disciples and convince them to give him the book."
"This..." Yuan Zuzhi's joy turned into sorrow, and he frowned and said, "I would like to go and look for him in person, but the journey is too long, and I am not free, so I really can't do it."
Xu Jiang had already thought of a plan and came to discuss it with him. "Even if you can't come in person, you can write a letter. Why don't you write a letter to my friend and give it to him after you find a disciple of the Dongling Sect? That will count as a visit." He added, "My friend goes to Suiye City once a year. If it doesn't work this time, there's always another time. As long as you're sincere, you'll definitely be able to convince him."
After hearing this, everyone thought it was feasible.
"Okay!" Yuan Zuzhi immediately asked the boy to bring paper and pen, grind ink and write a letter.
The opening line is: Sir, I bow to you sincerely.
Fool, idiot.
Lou Jing laughed and said, "How shameless! You actually declared yourself someone else's disciple, regardless of whether they agree or not."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Yuan Zuzhi was too anxious to respond at this moment.
