One was an old man who seemed to be in his sixties, and the two men beside him were two ordinary-looking middle-aged men, about forty years old.
The old man paused for a few seconds, then smiled strangely and shook his head slightly.
Then he simply stood in the shadow of the lamp without moving. The two people next to him seemed a little puzzled, but they obviously listened to the old man's words. They just stood quietly on his left and right sides, like two bodyguards.
But there were a lot of people here today, and no one noticed anything unusual here. Feng Anchen and Shen Jiawen looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then walked out from the corner of the street with Shen Mingxi. Since they were being followed, they had to ask why.
There is no word like turning around and running in Feng Anchen's dictionary, and the same goes for Shen Jiawen. His years of experience have told him that blindly tolerating will only make one live worse than pigs and dogs, so when it is time to confront head-on, he must do so.
So the two groups went to a pavilion nearby.
In winter, although the pavilion is quiet and empty, the seating area is made of cement, which is very cold in the middle of winter, so no one intends to sit there.
Feng Anchen didn't beat around the bush and simply got straight to the point, "Old man, if I remember correctly, you have been following us since we entered the Lantern Festival. Is there something wrong?"
The old man's eyes flashed slightly, as if with a hint of admiration. He probably didn't expect that he would be discovered so quickly. At the same time, he secretly sighed, he was old, still old. His whereabouts were discovered by the juniors so quickly.
Feeling a little embarrassed, he simply nodded and admitted it. After all, his target was really these three people.
"I won't hide it from you. Today, I had nothing to do with my two disciples, so I went to the Lantern Festival. But as soon as I came in, I saw three people with great luck. I am not very talented, but I used to be the leader of Xuanmen. But now Xuanmen has long been disbanded, and only an old man like me and my two disciples are left. But I still have this little ability. Naturally, I found it strange to see these people with great luck, so I came up to take a look. Unexpectedly, although the young man was not very old, his eyes were very sharp. He spotted the three of us at once..."
These words seemed to leave people speechless, as they laid the purpose out in the open.
And there is almost no detour or cover-up, it just shows that you three have great luck.
What else can one say about this?
Shen Jiawen curled his lips and smiled, "Old man, I've been talking for so long, but I still haven't asked for your name?"
To be polite, Shen Jiawen pointed at himself, then pointed at Feng Anchen, "My last name is Shen, and his last name is Feng."
Gu Lao glanced at the little girl standing behind the two men. His eyes flickered. He didn't expect that the young people nowadays are all very capable. He told the truth, "My last name is Gu. You can just call me Gu Lao. Everyone calls me that..."
Feng Anchen took a few steps forward, raised his eyebrows, and said righteously, "Old, what era is it now? You can't use your old generation's eyes to look at people and things nowadays. What great fortune, these are all nonsense and unscientific. The three of us are college students of the new era, and we don't believe in this. We also hope that you can read more books and get in touch with more new things nowadays. The scale of the lanterns this year is grand and the opportunity is rare. The three of us have things to do, so we won't accompany you. You can take your time to stroll around..."
Shen Mingxi glanced at Feng Anchen secretly, as if it was the first time he saw this guy speaking so politely, but then he suddenly realized that Feng Anchen had indeed grown a lot in the past six months, and was no longer the unconvinced guy he was when he first arrived at Kaoshantun.
Moreover, both of them, including the eldest brother, knew that the people from the Xuanmen were actually not easy to mess with. They could not be friends with them, but there was no need to be enemies with them either.
"What happens after you catch him?"
Gu Lao did not object, but asked back in the same low voice.
The two men looked at each other and could only watch the backs of the three people disappear into the bustling crowd.
In this prosperous era with dim lights, noisy laughter and bustling atmosphere, there is no trace of these three people.
In this peaceful era, one cannot do whatever one wants as in the past. If one arrests someone at this time, it will cause big trouble. What's more, the person they want to arrest is the youngest son of the Feng family, the most beloved grandson of old man Feng. The old man is full of murderous aura, but he never cares about these people from the Xuanmen.
Besides, the three of them are really lucky now, so it is not easy to catch them.
But this old man had no relationship with them at all, so he couldn't get any help from them.
But just now he was still a little cautious and cast three talismans on the three of them.
It can’t be used by him, so just mark it for now.
At this moment, Shen Mingxi really noticed the existence of these three talismans. The talismans she bought from the host of the fairy world during this period had many benefits. At least they made her familiar with the uses of various talismans, and she could even detect the aura of the talismans at the first time.
But Shen Mingxi was hesitant. Was this old man trying to test one of them by casting these three talismans on them?
It should be like this. After all, this talisman is very gentle, and it is just an ordinary spell for living in peace. Of course, the effect is average, it is just for seeking peace of mind.
Shen Mingxi didn't reveal this on the way home. When Feng Anchen called Feng Jingtian to ask about Gu Lao, she pointed to a plum blossom-shaped mark on her clothes and said, "I said this old man called Gu Lao cast a spell on the three of us. Do you believe it?"
Shen Jiawen and Feng Anchen were stunned for a moment, and Shen Mingxi could actually take it off secretly, but she didn't want to hide it from these two people.
Since Gu Lao has already appeared in front of the three of them, there might be other incredible things that they will see in the future. Instead of that, it would be better for the two of them to learn about it now.
Then Feng Anchen and Shen Jiawen looked at their sleeves at the same time, and sure enough, there was a plum blossom shape printed on them.
But you can't see it if you don't pay attention.
