Chapter 67 The Master Invites
"Which place should I come to and which place should I not come to?" Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "Grandpa, I didn't enter your manor. I was just looking at the scenery around here. This shouldn't bother you! You don't have the right to chase me away!"
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, the old man's face suddenly darkened. "Little girl, I don't know where you come from. But there are some places that you can't just go in if you want to."
"I know." Zhong Nianyao nodded seriously, "But since I'm already here today, I have to wait until I want to leave. You can't drive me away."
Hearing this answer, the old man's aura changed instantly. When he looked at Zhong Nian Yao, the murderous aura on his body was not hidden at all and was released directly.
Faced with the oppressive feeling from the old man, Zhong Nianyao's expression did not change, but her hand had already reached out towards the backpack.
Just when the situation was tense and on the verge of breaking out, a person walked out of the manor. She was a middle-aged woman about fifty years old, wearing a black dress and black-framed glasses, just like those strict butlers in the Middle Ages.
"Old Han, stop it." The woman said as she walked forward, "The master invites this young lady in for a meeting."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other two people present were stunned at the same time.
Old Man Han looked at the woman with some doubt, then looked at Zhong Nian Yao, as if he was thinking about something.
The woman had already walked out slowly and came in front of Zhong Nianyao. She bowed and saluted before speaking, "Miss Zhong, my master invites you."
Zhong Nianyao took a cautious step back, "Who is your master?"
The middle-aged woman before them was definitely more powerful than the old man called Lao Han. Who was the master they were talking about? Why did they know her?
She had only been in this world a short time and didn't know many people. And given the original owner's identity, it was impossible for her to know someone like this. So who were these people? Friend or foe?
"Miss Zhong, you'll know once you go in." The middle-aged woman seemed to see Zhong Nianyao's hostility and spoke slowly, "Miss Zhong, don't worry. You do know my master. Besides, you are definitely not enemies, so there is no need to worry."
Zhong Nianyao blinked, and finally nodded, "In that case, let's go in and take a look!"
Since she was already here, she might as well go in and take a look! She didn't sense any ill will from this woman. Furthermore, before leaving today, she had a fortune-teller done on herself, and it didn't indicate any danger.
Seeing Zhong Nianyao agreed, the middle-aged woman seemed relieved, "Miss Zhong, you can call me Sister Gui. Please follow me! The master is waiting for you inside."
Zhong Nianyao followed Mrs. Gui into the manor.
As soon as she entered the manor, Zhong Nianyao felt that the spiritual energy here seemed to be much richer than outside. It seemed that the owner of this place must have set up some kind of formation within the manor, or used some means to concentrate most of the spiritual energy of Wuling Mountain here.
As for the spiritual energy outside the manor, it should be attracted here because of this manor.
Now she is becoming more and more curious about the owner of this manor.
Soon, Zhong Nianyao followed Mrs. Gui into the villa. However, just before entering the hall, Mrs. Gui suddenly stopped and said, "Miss Zhong, my master is waiting for you inside."
The meaning was very clear, which was to let Zhong Nian Yao go in alone.
Now that we're already here, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Zhong Nianyao shrugged her shoulders, then walked in. Her steps were leisurely and comfortable, like strolling in a garden. She didn't look like she was visiting someone else's house, but more like she was at home.
However, when she entered the hall and saw the familiar figure, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Why is it you?"
She thought of many possibilities, but she never imagined that the owner of this manor was Lu Yichen, with whom she had met once before, and it was a rather unpleasant encounter.
"Is Miss Zhong surprised?"
Lu Yichen was sitting on the sofa. Even when he saw Zhong Nianyao coming, he did not get up but continued to sit there casually.
However, even though he was just sitting there simply and his movements were very casual, the aura of a king was undoubtedly revealed.
No matter who is here, as soon as they see it, the first person they think of is the emperor.
“I was quite surprised.”
After the shock, Zhong Nian Yao quickly regained her composure. She sat down on the sofa opposite Lu Yichen, poured herself a cup of tea, picked up the exquisite snack on the coffee table, and threw it directly into her mouth.
The movement was done in one go, without any awkwardness, as if he had returned home.
"But now that I think about it, I don't find it strange. It's just that I didn't expect that the Third Master, who has such a low presence in the Lu family, actually has such a hidden side to him!"
Of the four sons of the Lu family, the third son, Lu Yichen, has the least presence. The other three hold important positions in politics, the military, and business.
The only exception is Lu Yichen. When everyone mentions him, the first thing that comes to mind is a sickly person.
Now it seems that he is the most hidden one in the Lu family!
"Miss Zhong is no less capable than me!" Lu Yichen smiled faintly, his smile not reaching his eyes. "People outside are saying that the youngest granddaughter of the Zhong family is a good-for-nothing, a nymphomaniac. Who would have known that she is actually a celestial master who can predict life and death with a flick of her finger?"
Zhong Nianyao paused for a moment, then resumed her movements, "Mr. Lu is wrong. I'm not some kind of celestial master. I just know how to tell fortunes."
She wasn't surprised that Lu Yichen had found out about her fortune-telling. After all, she had been setting up a stall at Tongtian Bridge without hiding anything; she was open about it.
Moreover, she never thought of hiding it.
"No matter what, Miss Zhong is indeed quite capable." Lu Yichen leaned back, the smile on his face becoming somewhat meaningful. "However, since Miss Zhong is so capable, why not help me tell my fortune?"
"Not really." Zhong Nianyao refused without hesitation.
Such a straightforward attitude made Lu Yichen, who was originally calm and composed, stunned for a moment.
Obviously, he didn't expect that Zhong Nian Yao would refuse so cleanly and neatly without even giving a reason.
