“You child, Master Xuan Kong loved you very much, he just didn’t say it out loud because of his pride.”
Zhang Wenxiu instructed Liu, the butler, “Go to my room’s dressing table and get a black box.”
Liu quickly ran upstairs, handed the box to Lin Xi, and left with Wu Ma and the other servants.
The second rule of a butler’s professional ethics was to be observant.
Lin Xi opened the box, and a familiar yellow talisman met her eyes, it was indeed her master’s ghost-drawn talisman.
The talismans her master drew were as messy and casual as the man himself.
Fu Jianhua curiously asked, “Lin Xi, what kind of talisman is this?”
“A lingering image talisman; Master must have left me a letter.”
Lin Xi gathered spiritual energy at her fingertips and gently tapped the talisman.
The talisman moved without wind, flying into the air, slowly forming a human figure.
It was Master Xuan Kong!
Fu Jianhua was slightly surprised by this sight.
He knew Master Xuan Kong’s abilities, but Lin Xi had surpassed her master; she didn’t need to spit blood to have such abilities.
Back then, when Master Xuan Kong saved people, he performed rituals and spat blood, working for a day and a night before Zhang Wenxiu woke up.
Master Xuan Kong told Fu Jianhua that the evil spirit attached to Zhang Wenxiu was too powerful; he had spent half his lifespan to solve it.
Fu Jianhua was moved to tears, “Master, thank you so much; whatever you want, as long as Fu Jianhua can do it, even if it’s climbing mountains and traversing fire, I…”
Master Xuan Kong smiled mysteriously, “I want Fu Jingyao to be engaged to my disciple.”
What a great thing, Fu Jianhua readily agreed.
Now it seems, the Fu family has gained a lot.
This boy, Fu Jingyao, has unexpectedly gained a powerful wife.
The more Fu Jianhua looked at Lin Xi, the more he liked her.
At this moment, the image of Master Xuan Kong spoke, “Lin Xi, my dear disciple, Master misses you so much; unfortunately, by the time you hear this, Master will already be dead.”
Fu Jianhua and Zhang Wenxiu’s hearts tightened, quickly comforting Lin Xi, “Lin Xi, you still have us and Jingyao; if anyone bullies you, just tell us.”
Fu Jianhua desperately gestured to Fu Jingyao.
Standing there like a log, say something!
Fu Jingyao finally managed to squeeze out a sentence after a long time, “Lin Xi, please accept my condolences.”
Fu Jianhua was exasperated; he slapped him, “If you can’t speak properly, then shut up.”
Fu Jingyao: …
Didn’t you just tell me to speak?
Lin Xi cleared her throat, “Thank you for your concern, I’m fine.”
In the air, Master Xuan Kong stroked his beard, “Lin Xi, now that Master isn’t by your side, take good care of yourself, eat and sleep on time, don’t stay up late…”
He said a lot of sentimental words; Lin Xi showed no emotion, while Fu Jianhua and Zhang Wenxiu cried incessantly.
Fu Jianhua waved his hand, “Master Xuan Kong, you can go now; we will take good care of Lin Xi.”
Master Xuan Kong’s shadow became fainter, “Disciple, don’t dislike Master’s nagging, there’s one last thing…”
Lin Xi suddenly had a bad feeling.
Master Xuan Kong shouted loudly, “Lin Xi, hurry up and have a Yin and Yang union with Fu Jingyao.”
“If it doesn’t work once, try several times.”
“Hee hee hee! You understand what I mean; don’t pretend to be stupid.”
“Master loves you~”
He made a heart shape and disappeared.
Lin Xi awkwardly covered her face, her ears slightly red.
Her master was still her master, always trying to trick her.
Fu Jianhua and Zhang Wenxiu looked at each other, Master was really lively.
Fu Jingyao stared out the window without looking away.
For a moment, it was extremely awkward.
At that moment, Liu, the butler, knocked on the door, “Old Master, Old Mistress, Master, Miss Lin, dinner is ready.”
The third rule of a butler’s professional ethics was to appear when the master needed him and to scram when he wasn’t needed.
Liu, the butler, revealed eight teeth, a polite smile, “Please, Wu Ma has already set the table.”
“Oh, it’s dinner time.”
Zhang Wenxiu pulled Lin Xi to sit down and personally ladled a bowl of chicken soup for her, “Come, come, Lin Xi, don’t be polite, you’re too thin.”
“Thank you, Grandma.”
Lin Xi didn’t hesitate; she took the bowl of chicken soup and began to eat.
At the dining table, Zhang Wenxiu and Fu Jianhua exchanged glances and nodded subtly.
Fu Jianhua pinched Fu Jingyao, “Stop eating, talk.”
Fu Jingyao put down his chopsticks and began to make awkward conversation, “Lin Xi, who else is in your family?”
Lin Xi, who was busy eating, found time to reply, “When I was born, my parents abandoned me, and I’ve been following my master in cultivation ever since.”
“After Master passed away, I lived alone.”
“I’m sorry.” Fu Jingyao felt a pang of guilt; he really didn’t know how to chat with girls.
Lin Xi said lightly, “It’s okay, okay, I’m fine living alone.”
“Before, Master wasn’t always at the temple; I would go down the mountain to catch ghosts by myself, the villagers down the mountain were very kind to me, always leaving chicken legs for me to eat.”
Fu Jianhua and Zhang Wenxiu started wiping their tears, imagining a tragic story.
Alas, this child is so pitiful.
Zhang Wenxiu frantically added food to Lin Xi’s bowl, “Come, eat, don’t think about those sad things.”
Lin Xi’s cheeks bulged, “I’m not sad.”
When she was little, seeing that other children in the village had parents, she asked her master why she didn’t have any.
Her master patted her head, “Lin Xi, you can look if you want, but your fate with your relatives is weak; some things can’t be forced.”
Lin Xi had secretly looked.
They were a happy family, living a very happy life.
That day, her father happened to mention her, “That jinx is dead, don’t mention her again.”
Lin Xi was sad for a few days and stopped thinking about it.
Her biological parents abandoned her by a stream; their fate had ended, why should she be obsessed?
Now, mentioning her parents, she felt very calm.
After dinner, Zhang Wenxiu pushed Fu Jingyao out, “Take Lin Xi for a walk.”
This child is clueless; he’s a big shot in the business world, but he doesn’t understand anything about relationships.
She had to create opportunities for Fu Jingyao and Lin Xi to spend time together and cultivate their feelings.
Fu Jianhua silently gave a thumbs-up.
Zhang Wenxiu dragged Lin Xi and Fu Jingyao outside, “The night view of Shanshui Villa is beautiful; Jingyao, give her a good introduction.”
Fu Jingyao and Lin Xi looked at each other, feeling a little awkward.
Remembering his grandmother’s instructions, Fu Jingyao took the lead, “Lin Xi, I’ll take you for a walk.”
Lin Xi didn’t object, “I’ve never seen a mansion before.”
Fu Jingyao introduced, “Shanshui Villa covers an area of 60,000 square meters; it’s been passed down from the Fu family’s ancestors and has a history of five hundred years. It has been renovated ten times. This road is made of imported tiles from Germany; over there, it’s made of luxury stone…”
Lin Xi lagged behind, really wanting to sleep.
What was with this teacher-like lecturing tone?
Grandma asked you to introduce the place; you actually started from the history and went on to the building materials, explaining everything.
Lin Xi yawned, “The villa’s feng shui is good; it’s well-protected from wind and gathers energy; it’s very comfortable to live here.”
“Indeed.” Fu Jingyao looked down at her, “Grandpa and Grandma like you very much; if you want, you can live here in the future.”
Lin Xi quickly refused, “No, it’s inconvenient to live here.”
Fu Jingyao thought of something and his ears turned red.
They walked for a while longer without speaking.
Lin Xi was extremely sleepy, “Fu Jingyao, I’m going home to sleep.”
Fu Jingyao stopped her, “Lin Xi, didn’t you forget something?”
Fu Jingyao took off his scarf, revealing two deep bite marks that had scabbed over.
Lin Xi saw the bite marks, and a familiar feeling of social death washed over her.
That day, with a determination to die, she bit very hard; Fu Jingyao bled a lot; the clear bite marks were still visible.
No wonder he was wearing a scarf on such a hot day; she almost forgot about it.
Lin Xi awkwardly smiled, “That was an accident; how about I pay you some medical expenses?”
Fu Jingyao casually rotated his Patek Philippe watch, “Do I need that little bit of medical expenses?”
