Everyone who comes to Shijiazhuang needs a visiting card to be allowed in.
Otherwise, there would be hundreds, if not thousands, of people who want to see the richest man every day. If all of them were included, Shi Jiahu would be exhausted just from meeting with people who wanted to see him all day long.
Moreover, the Shi family is having a birthday banquet tonight, and his task is arduous. If he accidentally lets in someone he shouldn't, he can't bear the consequences.
"I am Lin Ping, the master of Qingfeng Temple in J City. I have come here to pay a visit. Please help me to announce my arrival!"
Lin the Blind Man wore sunglasses and had a serious expression, looking every bit the sage.
Su Tiantian and Wu Lan both stood up straight.
But the gatekeeper just scoffed dismissively: "I don't care what temple you're from. If you want to enter the Shi family, show your visiting card. No one is allowed in without one!"
He's worked in Shijiazhuang for so many years, so he has a good eye for people.
He could tell at a glance that these people didn't have visiting cards. He'd never even heard of Qingfeng Temple. It was probably some desolate, godforsaken place, not even worth half a brick of Tianmen Mountain. And they still wanted to put on airs!
All he could tell them was that the shelf was in the wrong place!
Lin the Blind frowned.
Su Tiantian frowned, and Wu Lan looked at them and also looked worried.
She only knows how to read feng shui. From a feng shui perspective, the feng shui of the Wu family's place is excellent. It's like living in a golden nest, never having to worry about food or drink, and having so much money that they could never spend it all in several lifetimes.
Given his status as the richest man in the world, this is quite normal.
There were several guards at the gate, and some skilled bodyguards stood watch not far away.
If anyone tries to force their way in, the bodyguards will immediately come over and subdue them.
"You'd better leave now, or I'll call my bodyguards."
The security guard frowned and spoke in a very rude tone.
Lin the Blind Man snorted angrily, then turned and left with Su Tiantian and Wu Lan in his arms.
After stepping out of the manor's gate and out of the surveillance range, Bai Meng jumped off Lin Xiazi's shoulder, stretched, and yawned.
But both Lin the Blind and Su Tiantian could hear her smug voice.
"You'll have to rely on me in crucial moments."
They couldn't get in, but Bai Meng could get in easily.
Those high walls were nothing to Bai Meng; people had to use the main gate, but animals didn't.
Lin the Blind said gently, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Xiaomeng."
"Master, you and Lanlan wait a moment, we'll be back soon."
Su Tiantian was also going, but she went in a different way.
Lin the Blind knew what she meant, so he sat down on the roadside lawn to wait. He held the sleeping Su Tiantian in his arms and said gently to Wu Lan, "Lanlan, are you hungry? I have some biscuits, would you like some?"
Wu Lan shook her head: "Grandpa Lin, I'm not hungry."
She was filled with curiosity. Just now, they seemed to be talking to that cat, saying strange things, and Su Tiantian suddenly fell asleep.
Wu Lan was extremely puzzled, but she didn't ask any questions. She just sat quietly next to Blind Lin and waited with him, keeping her grandfather's instructions in mind.
Thinking of her grandfather, Wu Lan felt a pang of sadness.
She misses home and now only hopes to go home and reunite with her family as soon as possible.
...
Su Tiantian flew to Bai Meng's side. Bai Meng had just climbed over the wall into the Shi Family Manor and was looking around warily.
At the main entrance, there are two stone lion statues that look extremely majestic.
As Bai Meng and Su Tiantian approached, the stone lion emitted a golden light.
"There's even a formation!"
Bai Meng was somewhat shocked because this formation was unusual, designed to target demons and monsters.
But the formation was useless against her, because she was a thousand-year-old demon.
It's even less effective against Su Tiantian, because Su Tiantian isn't a demon.
The golden light flashed briefly and had no effect on Bai Meng and Su Tiantian.
"These rich people are really something else, look at them, look at them... damn rich people!"
Bai Meng harbored resentment towards the rich, and began to mutter curses as soon as she entered.
Looking at these devices, Su Tiantian sensed something unusual. She said to Bai Meng, "Aunt Mengmeng, it seems someone is about to have a birthday."
Bai Mengchou's mouth twisted in anger, and she gritted her teeth: "That's right, and it's a big birthday celebration, just like those big masters in ancient times. Judging from this commotion, it's probably Shi Jiahu's birthday."
"It's his birthday, and everyone is surrounding him. He must be bathing and burning incense right now. In ancient times, people had all sorts of ridiculous rules for celebrating birthdays. People today are probably similar. The richer you are, the more rules you have."
Looking at the mountain of gift boxes and longevity peaches, and watching the busy nannies, Bai Meng felt an itch to wreak havoc.
She harbored an equal hatred for every wealthy person.
This brought back many unpleasant memories for her. Back when she was still in the Ancient Jade Sect, those wealthy people often mocked her.
They tried to bribe her with money, making her jump through hoops or leap. Looking at the luxurious Shi family home, Bai Meng grew angrier and angrier.
"Aunt Mengmeng, let's hurry up and go find him. Master and Lanlan are still waiting for us."
Su Tiantian noticed Bai Meng's fluctuating emotions and immediately changed the subject.
Bai Meng's beard twitched as she nimbly moved about. She coldly called to Su Tiantian, "Come with me."
Bai Meng can find the Shijia pot simply by smelling its aroma.
The Shi Family Manor is too big; if Su Tiantian were to search for it all by herself, it would take a lot of time.
Bai Meng's figure was spotted, and a nanny exclaimed softly, "Why is there a cat?"
"Where did this stray cat come from? Quick, catch it! Don't let it ruin these things!"
Bai Meng grinned, even angrier.
But she still remembered that she needed to take Su Tiantian to find Shijiahu, so she temporarily suppressed her anger.
Shi Jiahu naturally lived in the main building of the manor. After passing through countless magnificent corridors and exquisite gardens, Bai Meng stopped at the main building gate: "That old bastard is in here. Tian Tian, go find him. I have something to do."
"Yes, Aunt Mengmeng, please be careful."
Su Tiantian nodded, then turned to go inside.
Bai Meng called out to her again, "Don't you think I'm being unreasonable?"
Bai Meng was a little confused. She wasn't going to do anything good. Wasn't Su Tiantian going to stop her?
Su Tiantian didn't even turn her head: "As long as Aunt Mengmeng is happy."
Bai Meng was in a great mood and turned to run away.
The servants who couldn't find her were conducting a thorough search when Bai Meng appeared and let them see her, then she started running away, leaving them to play around.
She doesn't need to cause trouble; these people will get angry at themselves if they can't catch her.
...
Su Tiantian entered the main building and found the Shijia pot.
Shi Jiahu was taking a nap. He had a gentle smile on his face and his hands were folded over his abdomen, looking very kind.
Su Tiantian frowned after examining him for a while. She approached Shi Jiahu and blew a breath into it, but the spiritual energy could not enter Shi Jiahu's body.
Shi Jiahu is dead.
He died on his birthday, but no one has yet discovered that he is dead.
Su Tiantian's arrival was a coincidence; perhaps just a few minutes ago, Shijiahu was still alive.
