In the afterglow of the setting sun, Qingmu leaned against the car door, smoking one cigarette after another, waiting for Wang Xuan to come out of get off work at the gate of the design institute.
He was a little worried. His master had fled to Xinxing in a hurry. It had been many years since such a thing happened. What happened? He wanted to know clearly.
Wang Xuan was in a good mood, feeling relieved. He walked out with his colleagues, chatting and laughing.
"Xiao Wang, over here." Aoki called him.
"Someone is looking for me. See you tomorrow." Wang Xuan greeted the people around him and walked quickly forward.
In the sunset, a group of migratory birds flew away, making the autumn seem deeper and the sky higher.
Qingmu drove Wang Xuan to dinner and started asking questions on the way. When he heard that Lao Chen had an appointment with Yuhua Zhenxian recently, he stepped on the accelerator and almost hit the car in front.
"Watch the road and be steady!" Wang Xuan quickly reminded.
There were a lot of vehicles on the street. It was just time to get off work, so the traffic was a bit congested. Qingmu's heart was also a bit blocked. What was going on? Was Lao Chen scared away by the female Taoist priest?
He knew very well that Lao Chen's skills were quite extraordinary and he was a rare super-powerful person. In addition, he was always smart and capable and almost never suffered any loss. But recently... he failed.
Wang Xuan was very relaxed and in the mood to look at the fiery red maple trees on both sides of the road. The maple leaves looked particularly warm in the sunset. Thinking that the female alchemist would not appear again, he wondered if she really had gone with Lao Chen to find Xinxing this time.
"What do you think will happen to my master?" After Qingmu had a general understanding of the situation, he felt it was a bit outrageous. How could a person who had been dead for three thousand years still send messages in dreams?
"Old Chen is a good man, I'm sure everything will be fine." Wang Xuan comforted him.
Aoki was never short of money, so he chose a high-end restaurant with a large private room that was very quiet. After ordering the dishes, he began to ask in a low voice about what happened.
"You mean, Old Chen took the blame for you?" Qingmu was choked by his own cigarette and felt speechless.
"Don't make up your mind. It's none of my business. The reason why the female alchemist came to me in my dream is that no one who participated in the underground experimental field in Daxing'anling is innocent. Lao Qing, you have to be careful recently!"
Wang Xuan felt refreshed and had a good appetite. While enjoying the delicious food, he kindly reminded Qingmu that he should prepare some talisman paper or something. Old Chen was more experienced in this regard. After the incident, he took out a bunch of talisman paper and pasted them all over his body.
At the same time, he also complained in his heart that Lao Chen was really stingy. When he asked for help on the weekend, he just sent him one card. But when he got into trouble, he kept sticking cards on his body, and his body was almost covered with cards.
Aoki listened to his outrageous complaints and warnings, grinned, with mixed feelings, blew out a smoke ring and said nothing.
"Mr. Chen, the greater your ability, the greater your responsibility," Wang Xuan commented.
Aoki glared at him. What nonsense was this? This kid was taking advantage of the situation and was still acting like a good kid.
"Tell me, how can we help him?" Qingmu frowned. He was indeed a little worried about Lao Chen. After all, he was his master.
Wang Xuan said, "I don't think it's a big deal. Old Chen has gone to Xinxing. The female Taoist priest must be unfamiliar with the place and she probably won't be used to it. Sooner or later she will force Old Chen back."
Listen, what are you talking about? Qingmu glared at him, and then discussed with him about sending him to Xinxing to pick up and take care of Lao Chen.
Wang Xuan refused immediately. Who would jump into the fire pit again after just jumping out of it?
He glanced at Qingmu and said, "Don't worry about Lao Chen yet. I think you really need to worry about yourself."
"What do you mean?" Aoki put out his cigarette.
Wang Xuan glanced at him and said, "What else can it mean? Old Chen is a coward and has gone to Xinxing. He will definitely not be able to help the female Taoist solve the problem. If she comes back, I guess it will be your turn."
"You have a poisonous mouth, shut up!" Qingmu was really unsure, and he felt that this was probably how Lao Chen was found.
He seriously suspected that the female alchemist had most likely gone to find Lao Chen because of Wang Xuan’s nonsense.
The more he thought about it, the more he believed it was the case. He warned him seriously, "Eat, and leave quickly after eating! You are not allowed to look for me during this period of time, and you should not waste time when you are alone. In any case, don't mention my name in the near future!"
"Lao Qing, this is not very kind of you. You talk as if my mouth is blessed." Wang Xuan was dissatisfied and tried to defend himself. This matter had nothing to do with him and he was also a victim.
"Don't say anything. Let's draw a line between us for now. You are not allowed to contact me recently!" Aoki was about to pay the bill and leave. He didn't want to stay any longer and barely touched his chopsticks.
Wang Xuan said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. When will my five million arrive? That is the compensation I earned at the cost of my life in Qingcheng Mountain."
"It will be in the account tomorrow!" Qingmu stood up after he said that. He was quite happy to give the money. Although the silver animal skin scroll had not been deciphered yet, the expert group unanimously agreed that it was of astonishing value, otherwise a Taoist priest would not have stared at it until his death.
"Okay!" Wang Xuan was very satisfied. For a student who just graduated, getting such a huge sum of money was really a huge surprise.
"You should eat at least a little." Wang Xuan persuaded Qingmu, and then said, "Are you really leaving? Why don't you take me back?"
Qingmu ignored him and quickened his pace. He disappeared in the blink of an eye and decided not to go near Wang Xuan's residence in the near future.
The next day, Wang Xuan received a text message from the bank, notifying him that a large sum of money had been deposited into his account. He counted and found there were six zeros, which was indeed five million. He was immediately delighted.
Soon, he remembered another thing: had he paid the tax? He quickly asked Aoki about it, but Aoki hung up on him five times and ignored him!
