Chapter 1281 A Big Liar?
The female ghost messenger looked at Li Er in front of her, unsure of what to do, and retreated a few steps with some fear.
Seeing Li Er's still gloomy face, she took a few more steps back and quickly said, "I just want to stand here and wait until tomorrow to go in. I definitely won't affect your business."
Li Er expressionlessly took out the soul-hooking talisman and threw it to the female ghost messenger.
The female ghost messenger was stunned when she saw the soul-hooking talisman, and then quickly thanked him, "Thank you, I'll give you money now..."
"No need, consider it a gift to you."
"Ah? A gift?"
The female ghost messenger didn't know why the fierce-looking shop owner would give her a soul-hooking talisman for free. She was already struggling financially, so she didn't refuse. "Then thank you!"
"You don't need to thank me, you should thank Mr. Chen Xuan."
"Chen Xuan?"
"It's that young man who went in just now. He asked me to give you the soul-hooking talisman, otherwise I wouldn't be so kind." After saying that, Li Er left with his head held high.
The female ghost messenger remained stunned, her beautiful eyes fixed on the shop's window.
Through the glass, she could still see Chen Xuan eating.
"Thank you!"
Her beautiful eyes were filled with deep gratitude!
Then, the female ghost messenger, holding the soul-hooking talisman, turned and left.
The next morning, Chen Xuan received a call from Huo Guangtai.
"Patriarch Huo, may I ask what business you have with me?" Chen Xuan asked faintly into the phone.
"Mr. Chen, thank you for your help previously, which allowed my Huo family to escape death. Today, I'd like to invite you to my home for a simple meal and introduce you to someone."
Huo Guangtai said respectfully on the phone.
His fawning expression seemed to be transmitted through the phone line.
"A meal? I don't think that's necessary, is it?"
Chen Xuan frowned.
"Uh..."
Huo Guangtai was choked.
"Do you need something from me? Why not be honest?" Chen Xuan sneered a few times.
"It seems nothing can be hidden from you, Mr. Chen. The thing is, a friend of mine is also encountering some strange matters in his home. He heard about my situation and wants to ask for your help."
"That's more like it. I knew you wouldn't be so kind."
"Mr. Chen, I'm actually doing this for your own good." Huo Guangtai forced a smile.
"What do you mean by that?"
"My friend is from the Cao family in Kyoto, one of the Nine Gates. The Cao family in Kyoto belongs to the Middle Three Gates, and their influence is even greater than the Su family in Kyoto. If you can befriend such a person, you will have a more stable foothold in the Su family in Kyoto."
"You see, I'm doing this for your own good, right?"
This statement hit Chen Xuan's sweet spot, but his thoughts were somewhat different from Huo Guangtai's.
Chen Xuan suddenly frowned and asked, "What do you mean by Middle Three Gates?"
"It's like this, the Nine Gates of Kyoto are the top powers in Kyoto, but they are also roughly divided into levels based on their strength: the Upper Three Gates, the Middle Three Gates, and the Lower Three Gates."
"The Su family in Kyoto belongs to the Lower Three Gates. Within the Lower Three Gates, the Su family's biggest rival is the Ge family in Kyoto. The Ge family in Kyoto has developed more and more strongly in recent years, and can already contend with the powers of the Middle Three Gates."
"As one side grows stronger, the other weakens. The Su family in Kyoto is rapidly falling to the bottom. Of course, as an established prominent family in Kyoto, the Su family naturally has its own backing."
"The Cao family's strength is extraordinary, and they are also very powerful among the Middle Three Gates."
Huo Guangtai said with a smile. wap.kanshu伍.net
"Alright, I promise you!" Chen Xuan decided immediately.
"That's great, Mr. Chen. I'll have my son go to the Su family in Kyoto to pick you up."
"I'm not at the Su family in Kyoto. I'm at Daqianmen now. Have him wait for me at the entrance of Shitang Alley in Daqianmen."
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and said.
It wasn't that Chen Xuan was being arrogant and demanding Huo Guangtai pick him up. Driving himself would only take an hour. For an ordinary person, this would be unnecessary, but this was the Cao family in Kyoto. If he went to them himself, he might be looked down upon.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll have someone pick you up right away."
Huo Guangtai agreed quickly without thinking too much.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuan fell into thought.
He agreed to Huo Guangtai not to gain more status in the Su family in Kyoto. He considered such status worthless.
He had noticed that the Su family in Kyoto had treated the Vermilion Bird lineage unfavorably. He wanted to be prepared, so that when that day came, the Su family in Kyoto would regret it deeply!
Changing into clean clothes, Chen Xuan walked out and arrived at the Shitang Alley entrance in Daqianmen.
As soon as he reached the alley entrance, he saw a brand new Rolls-Royce already parked there. When Huo Du saw Chen Xuan inside the car, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "He's here!"
The driver turned his head and saw the unremarkable Chen Xuan, dressed simply. He frowned and couldn't help but say, "Young Master Huo, are you mistaken? How can this be the great Feng Shui master who saved our Huo family?"
According to the driver's understanding, a great Feng Shui master should be wearing a long robe, exuding an ethereal aura, and have a proud demeanor. This person was too down-to-earth.
Of course, "down-to-earth" was a very polite way of putting it. To be blunt, this guy was just a complete loser!
"Shut up! If I hear you say anything negative about Mr. Chen again, I won't let you off!"
Huo Du knew Chen Xuan's capabilities and shouted sternly, scaring the driver pale. The driver immediately said he wouldn't dare.
Then, Huo Du eagerly jumped out of the car.
After Huo Du left, the driver looked resentfully and said, "Hmph, isn't he just a big liar!"
"Mr. Chen, please get in!"
Huo Du respectfully opened the car door for Chen Xuan, bowed, and showed a fawning smile.
"Mmm!"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, stepped forward, and got into the car.
At this time, Huo Du got into the passenger seat and told the driver to start driving.
Soon, they arrived at the Huo family villa.
The Huo family's strength was not to be underestimated, but in Kyoto, where the wealthy and powerful were as numerous as ants, they were not considered much. Furthermore, Kyoto's housing prices were among the highest in the country. Therefore, although the Huo family villa did not occupy a large area, it had five stories, which was quite imposing.
The overall style of the villa was European, with meticulous carvings, making it very exquisite.
"Mr. Chen, your arrival truly brings glory to the Huo family!"
Huo Guangtai shook Chen Xuan's hand, looking as intimate as if he were treating his own father. The Huo family members standing nearby were astonished and scrutinized Chen Xuan, becoming more and more surprised the more they looked.
Many people were whispering.
"This kid is so young, is he really the Feng Shui master who saved our Huo family?"
"Our family head must have been deceived, right?"
"He's definitely a big liar! I think our Huo family was able to resolve the crisis because Miss Huo secretly assisted!"
"Although Miss Huo always says that everything must be handled according to the law and that she will not bend the law for personal gain, when our Huo family faced a disaster, how could Miss Huo stand by and do nothing?"
The surrounding voices made Chen Xuan raise an eyebrow, and Huo Guangtai also looked very embarrassed.
