After surviving the first wave of deaths, the cruel reality told Lin Xiaoman that the female puppet had not been dealt with yet!
"Master! Save this person to the end!!" Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoman howled in horror, "Master, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
"No problem, no problem. One million, guaranteed to solve the problem. With the money, everything can be negotiated." Xie Ziyu's handsome face showed a warm smile, and Lin Xiaoman immediately thought of Grandma Wolf.
"Butler Xiaobai, the style of your original owner is a bit... strange, it doesn't quite match your master's noble temperament! Moreover, I suspect he deliberately let the female puppet go in order to catch a big fish with a long line. Is he trying to cheat me out of money?"
Lin Xiaoman had the impression that No. 15's personality was similar to Yu He's back then—quiet, steady, and mature. But the one in front of him seemed very lively, not at all like a boss!
Butler Xiaobai: "The original owner's personality is not something we can influence; it's his nature. As for deliberately letting the female puppet go, you're overthinking it. The original owner, Xie Ziyun, is still very moral. However, it's absolutely true that he cheated you out of your money."
"Received. Thank you, Butler Xiaobai."
"I think it's more convenient for me to call the newspaper." Lin Xiaoman's expression changed and he became serious.
Xie Ziyun's smile froze, and he was stunned for a moment, "Uh, a fellow traveler?"
As he spoke, the man took a few steps forward, with a slightly puzzled expression on his face. He stretched out two fingers and lifted up a corner of the quilt that Lin Xiaoman was still wrapped in. Then he became even more confused, "Huh? This is just an ordinary quilt. Do you have any magical tools on you?"
He was quite puzzled just now. This Ao Guiying had obviously appeared for a long time, but this person was actually fine?
"Xie Ziyun's cultivation is shallow, so he can't see your physique and the secret technique of the Iron Shirt." Butler Xiaobai explained, "You can say that your ancestors are from the Wu family, which will make it easier to explain in the future."
"My ancestors are from the Wu family." Lin Xiaoman parroted what he heard.
"There are still people from the Wu family?" Xie Ziyun was surprised. "And isn't your last name Jiang?"
"My great-grandmother's last name was Wu."
"Tsk, they even gave up their surname. The Wu family's inheritance has indeed been cut short. But, after all, we are fellow practitioners. Can you handle this puppet yourself?"
"Xie Liangsheng!"
"Well……"
"As a member of the Xie family, you should know Xie Liangsheng, right? Back then, the 281st generation head of your Xie family, Xie Liangsheng, owed our Wu family a great favor. Now that we've met today, let's repay that favor."
Xie Ziyun's face darkened. "What do you want?"
"I want to be your disciple!"
"What? You, a descendant of the Wu family, want to become my disciple? My last name is Xie." Xie Ziyu was stunned. If he became a disciple of another family, he would be laughed at if the news got out.
"I can't find anyone with the surname Wu, and my surname is Jiang! Besides, my life is more important. So, as my master, you are responsible for protecting your apprentice's safety."
Following the instructions of Butler Xiaobai throughout the process, Lin Xiaoman was serious and focused on forming a team.
“Why?”
Not only did he not make any extra money, but he also wanted him to be a bodyguard? Xie Ziyun was certainly not happy about it.
"Because Xie Liangsheng is your ancestor, the ancestors' debts should be repaid by their descendants." Lin Xiaoman naturally asked for repayment.
Xie Ziyu's face darkened.
Damn, he is so miserable. He thought he could make some extra money, but ended up losing himself!
If I had known earlier, I would have calculated my fortune before going out!
If he had known he would be unlucky this time, he would not have come!
Just as she was feeling frustrated, Xie Ziyu's aura suddenly changed. He became cold, hard and sharp, staring at her expressionlessly.
With a start, Lin Xiaoman stood up straight like a primary school student who met his class teacher. This must be the big boss online!
"Chaos Pure Yin Body..." The voice was still the same, but it was obviously more majestic and full of the powerful aura of a superior. "Since you are a descendant of the Wu family, my Xie family will naturally keep you safe."
Butler Xiaobai then explained, "Because whenever there's danger, my master will appear. After a few times, this kid noticed it, so he thought there was an ancestor living in his body. The master came out to go through the motions and agreed to this matter, so Xie Ziyun had no choice but to take you with him."
Lin Xiaoman understood that the team was successful.
"Thank you, Master!"
"Stop, stop yelling." Coming back to his senses, Xie Ziyun looked helpless. He actually had the physique of a puppet-absorbing person. Even the ancestors had appeared. This trouble was definitely not going to be shaken off, but...
This physique is very good at attracting hatred!
Maybe, it's a good thing?
While Xie Ziyu was thinking, Lin Xiaoman had already swiftly opened the bag on the TV cabinet and took out his cash check and seal.
He quickly signed the 1 million yuan bill, stamped it with two red seals, and then said, "Master, this is a small gift from your disciple!"
Xie Ziyun quickly glanced at the number above, and then his heart was instantly overjoyed, but he put on a pretentious expression, "Since you are so sincere in wanting to be my disciple, although your physique is unlikely to allow you to achieve anything great, but based on the principle that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, I will reluctantly accept you as my disciple."
He took the check neatly, flicked it against the light, and smiled warmly, "By the way, disciple, how much is your net worth?"
"100 million." Lin Xiaoman said very calmly.
Xie Ziyu's smile instantly became even brighter. From then on, he had an ATM apprentice!
Mom doesn't have to worry about me eating dirt anymore!!
Lin Xiaoman was puzzled by Xie Ziyun's expression, which was typical of being dazzled by the golden light of a local tycoon. "Butler Xiaobai, aren't you responsible for helping the original owner become rich and reach the pinnacle of life?"
Butler Xiaobai: "In this world, except for the people in the Celestial Palace, most puppet hunters are poor. We must maintain our human image."
"No, how can a puppet hunter be poor? Just catching a puppet is enough to make money. What is the Immortal Palace?"
"The Immortal Palace is the world's largest puppeteer organization, contracting almost all of the wealthy's business. Feng shui, puppet hunting, fortune-telling, buying magical instruments... these lucrative businesses are almost completely monopolized by the Immortal Palace. Xie Ziyun only has a salary and bonuses. Of course, occasionally encountering situations like yours, you can earn a little extra money, but this is only a minority. Moreover, cultivation in this world is equivalent to krypton gold, as you will soon learn."
'I've learned a lesson.'
As a newcomer, Lin Xiaoman had a lot of questions in his mind.
