"What's the point of lying to you?" Zhang San glared at Liu Xiaoyuan, then grinned at Su Yu and said, "Beautiful lady, come on, I'll go talk to you."
Su Yu glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan and said to Zhang San in a coquettish tone, "Manager, please call my cousin over, okay?"
As the saying goes, when a goddess acts coquettishly, even the gods can't resist. Zhang San wasn't exactly a saint, and he was already completely captivated by Su Yu's beauty. After Su Yu said those sweet words to him, he immediately surrendered.
"Okay, okay, beautiful lady," Zhang San said with a smile.
Zhang San led Su Yu and the other two to his room. After everyone sat down, Zhang San eagerly made Su Yu a cup of tea, completely ignoring Liu Xiaoyuan and Lu Siyao.
"Thank you, manager," Su Yu said with a smile.
When Zhang San saw the smile on Su Yu's face, his face lit up with a big smile, and he couldn't stop laughing.
"Manager, please tell me quickly, who exactly is this Master Chen? I really want to know, don't keep me in suspense," Su Yu said.
"Beautiful lady, you're really in a hurry!" the manager said, unable to resist reaching out his groping hand to take advantage of Su Yu, but Su Yu dodged it.
Zhang San was a little unhappy because he didn't get to eat the tofu, but Su Yu immediately gave him a charming smile, and Zhang San was overjoyed.
"Beautiful lady, let me tell you, this Master Chen is a corpse driver, and his skills are unmatched." Zhang San looked fearful when he spoke of Master Chen, showing that Master Chen's abilities were extraordinary.
Corpse drivers? Liu Xiaoyuan was very surprised to hear this, because the corpse driving industry is a very mysterious industry. In ancient times, people believed that the body should return to its roots, meaning that no matter where you die, it is best to transport the body back to your hometown for burial.
In places like Miao villages, the mountain roads are rugged and unsuitable for travel by carriage or horse, so the profession of corpse driver came into being. It is said that corpse drivers use special methods to make corpses obey their commands, and then the driver shakes a soul-summoning bell, with the corpse following behind.
"Manager, you're not lying to me, are you? There are still corpse drivers in this world?" Su Yu asked, feigning surprise.
Zhang San said, "Beautiful lady, why would I lie to you? It's true that Master Chen is a corpse driver, and not just any ordinary corpse driver. He's the leader of all corpse drivers. Let me tell you, Master Chen has a bad temper. If you meet him, it's best not to stare at him, or he'll get angry."
"Manager, look, now that roads have been built here, do those corpse-driving people still have business?" Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing that it was Liu Xiaoyuan who asked the question, Zhang San said irritably, "Although corpse drivers don't have business now, who says they can only drive corpses? They have many other skills. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Upon hearing Zhang San's words, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately gave Su Yu a wink, signaling her to ask Zhang San what skills these corpse drivers possessed.
Su Yu understood Liu Xiaoyuan's meaning and immediately asked in a coquettish tone, "Manager, what other skills do these corpse drivers have besides driving corpses?"
Zhang San immediately grinned and said, "Beautiful lady, besides driving corpses, these corpse drivers have other special skills, such as controlling people to be their puppets, whose bodies are impervious to swords and spears..."
Wow! Corpse drivers have this ability? They can control people and make them their puppets. That's truly a vicious skill. As for being invulnerable to swords and spears, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't find it strange. They probably just practiced the Iron Shirt and Golden Bell techniques.
"Manager, you manage everything in the Zhang family?" Su Yu asked with admiration.
Zhang San had no real ability, but in order to show Su Yu that he was not of low status, he put on a brave face and said, "Of course, I manage all the affairs of the Zhang family."
"Manager, you're amazing! You're so young and you manage such a large Zhang family. You're really incredible!" Su Yu said, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
Seeing Su Yu like this, the manager's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he was so happy that he was completely disoriented.
"Manager, when I was in the backyard just now, I thought I heard a child crying. Did one of the young masters of your Zhang family have a baby?" Su Yu asked with a smile.
Shao Yitian gave Su Yu a thumbs up. This woman really had a knack for it. First, she flattered Zhang San to lower his guard, and then she immediately got to the point and extracted the child's information from him.
"These aren't my young master Zhang's children. They're several children that Master Chen's apprentice brought to him early this morning," the steward said with a smile.
"Manager, what does Master Chen want children for? Does he not have any children and want to adopt a few?" Su Yu then asked.
Zhang San shook his head and said, "I don't know what Master Chen wants a child for, but it's definitely not for adoption. Oh, beautiful lady, let's not talk about Master Chen anymore. The Zhang family's back garden is very beautiful. How about I take you to play in the back garden?"
Zhang San said with a lecherous grin, wanting to take advantage of Su Yu.
Su Yu winked at Liu Xiaoyuan, then smiled and said, "Okay!"
Su Yu meant that she would stall Zhang San while Liu Xiaoyuan and Lu Siyao went to the backyard to look for the children and see if they were the ones who had been abducted.
"You two, don't follow me. The Zhang family's back garden isn't a place anyone can just walk into!" Zhang San warned. If Liu Xiaoyuan didn't know better and followed, Zhang San would kill him.
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately said, "Manager, I'm not going. I'm tired and want to go back and rest."
"If you're tired, take your girlfriend back to rest. I'm going to take your girlfriend's cousin to the back garden to enjoy the scenery."
After leaving Zhang San's room and parting ways, Lu Siyao couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Xiao Yuan, will Su Yu be alright?"
Liu Xiaoyuan thought to himself that with Su Yu's abilities, Zhang San would definitely be completely manipulated by her.
"It's alright, Su Yu, let's not worry about her. Come on, let's go to the backyard and look for those children to see if they are the ones you're looking for." Liu Xiaoyuan pulled Lu Siyao's hand and walked towards the backyard.
Liu Xiaoyuan knew perfectly well which room Master Chen had come out of, so he immediately pulled Lu Siyao to the door of the room where Master Chen was.
Liu Xiaoyuan made a shushing gesture to tell Lu Siyao to be quiet. Then, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately closed his eyes and listened to the sounds coming from inside the room to see if Master Chen had returned.
After becoming a master of the third level of the Innate Realm, Liu Xiaoyuan's skills improved even further. No matter how small the sound was, as long as Liu Xiaoyuan was willing to listen carefully, it could not be hidden from his ears.
