Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 440: The Jadewind Sitar
Tang Xiu led Mu Wanying back to the car. He didn't say a word from the beginning. After leaving the Everlasting Feast Hall, the two of them just sat in the car, and only then did Mu Wanying say with a smile, "Tang Xiu, the more I know you, the more I think you are unfathomable. I know a few things about the Eternal Feast Hall. I heard that its headquarters is on Jingmen Island, but it also has branches in Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong, and its business is very prosperous. It's just that it never crossed my mind that you are the owner of the Eternal Feast Hall. ”
"I'm just an ordinary commoner, if you ask me," Tang Xiu replied.
"If you're just an ordinary person, I'm afraid there aren't any strong figures in this world, right? Anyway, I'm really curious about something. Aside from the Magnificent Tang Corp. and Everlasting Feast Hall, how many industries do you have actually? ”Mu Wanying asked with a smile.
"Well, I only have both of them," Tang Xiu answered easily.
"I don't trust you. "Mu Wanying shook his head as he smiled. “If anything, I should get along with you more in the future and learn more about your secrets. You know, you are someone I am most interested in, nothing else. ”
"Have you ever heard the saying that a woman will not be far from losing her heart once she is attracted to a man?" Tang Xiu snorted.
"To fall in love with someone as amazing as you are, isn't a bad thing, is it?" Mu Wanying laughed lightly, "However, needless to say; marriage is always the most important event in one's life. Like this, the problem was immediately solved! ”
“Era is currently the age of materialism, where people want worldly things. Nowadays, people's minds and hearts are fickle and unable to resist their desires. So to talk about the femme fatale, the more extraordinary the women around the men, the more troublesome things they will encounter. I myself like to live a chaotic and chaotic life. I want it to be peaceful and calm, so I can do my own things without worrying. Therefore, I dare not think of the first beauty of the capital, as well as the first campus flowers of Shanghai University. So please find another man if you want to get married, ” Tang Xiu said.
"Tang Xiu, why do the words you say make me feel like I'm just one of a kind of venomous snake and a beast?" Mu Wanying flirtatiously pretended to be angry.
"But you are better than any venomous snake and animal; because your appearance is more attractive than theirs, ”Tang Xiu chuckled.
"Pfft .. Hahaha!" Mu Wanying could not help but laugh, laughing until he swayed and trembled.
After a while, he saw the scene passing by outside the window, and then asked, "You've asked the couple to help you find the harp, so where are we going next?"
“I can't put hope in them, so I might as well prepare for both possibilities. "Tang Xiu took it seriously. “Although they are anxious and hasty, there is nothing to be done about it if the wife of their old friend is unwilling to lend it. Anyway, let's surf the internet once again! See if there are any stores selling zithers nearby. ”
"All right!"
Mu Wanying took out his phone and started browsing the internet.
——
On the outskirts of Shanghai. . .
Inside the orchard, Wei Jiangping and Chun Xiu had just returned and were out of taxes. They saw Han Jintong and his wife, Yin Yue'e, waiting in front of the black Audi car.
Wei Jiangping walked up to Han Jintong's partner and said with a bitter smile, “Old friend, sorry for bothering you. ”
“Brother, we certainly won't sit idly by because you have a problem. "Han Jintong shook his head and said," Anyway, we also brought Sitar Jadewind. It's in the car. ”
Showing her gratitude and relief, Wei Jiangping said, "I know that Jadewind Zither is Yue'e's favorite thing. It doesn't matter if you don't want to sell it. He said that he only wanted to borrow it for one night. ”
"Who is this 'him'?" Han Jintong asked in surprise.
"Tang Xiu!" Wei Jiangping replied with a sigh.
Han Jintong frowned and asked, "Brother Wei, what exactly happened? Did the two of you go to Jingmen Island, investigate the information of the Eternal Feast Hall, and then meet Tang Xiu there? "
Wei Jiangping shook his head with a bitter expression.
"We didn't meet Tang Xiu on Jingmen Island," Chun Xiu sighed softly, and said, "After we followed the path of investigation, we discovered that the Eternal Party Hall was very mysterious. But unfortunately, just as we only got a little information from our investigation, the people from the Eternal Feast Hall found us. We expelled two of them who warned us, but we ended up being surrounded by ten of their experts. Those ten people are only in their thirties or forties, but their combined forces can handle us easily. We were arrested and detained, and they sent us to the Eternal Feast Hall in Shanghai. ”
"What?" Han Jintong and Yin Yue'e looked at each other. They knew how strong Wei Jiangping and Chun Xiu were. In the current times and times, the number of people who were their opponents was very few and rare. How could only ten people from the Eternal Feast Hall be able to capture them?
This ... Doesn't this make too much sense?
Wang Jiangping forced a smile and said, "What Chun Xiu said is true. We were wounded and captured by them. In reality, we could sense that their cultivation level was lower than ours. But their movements and styles were extremely sharp, fast and ferocious, and they also used extremely beautiful killing moves. If they fought at close range with weapons, maybe they only needed five people to defeat us, and we might be killed in a very short time. ”
Han Jintong shivered inside, and asked, "How many experts does the Eternal Celebration Hall have?"
"I'm not sure. "Wei Jiangping shook his head and said," There were over thirty people just out of the amount when they surrounded us. Some of those who did not seem to be ordinary experts and had a status did not even act. ”
Han Jintong was silent for quite some time and with a slight sigh, “We always felt that our strength was already quite incredible, he said, and had reached an extreme after obtaining cultivation techniques and practicing them for decades. We always thought that there were only a few existences in this world that could be our opponents. Only now do we finally realize that we have seen the sky from the bottom of the well. ”
“China is a vast and ancient country, where hidden dragons and sleeping tigers remain hidden, and have given birth to talented people from generation to generation. "Wei Jiangping sighed and said," Since there could be an existence like the Eternal Party Hall in this country, I'm afraid there are also other powerful forces, as well. Furthermore, I fear that we will find it very difficult to make a breakthrough and ascend to heaven. The only hope we have now during our lives is to be able to see our sons and daughters taken by him. ”
“I think you should give up on this idea, Brother Han. "Wei Jiangping shook his head and smiled bitterly," The people of The Everlasting Feast Hall were not friendly people, for sure. Moreover, if you want to have a breakthrough in your cultivation with the help of the Everlasting Feast Hall, I think it will be close to zero possibility unless you pay a very expensive price for it. ”
“I don't want to stop trying. I don't want to do it. I need to look for opportunities to meet Tang Xiu again, hoping that I can get a chance to make a breakthrough, ” replied Han Jintong with unanimous determination.
Wei Jiangping suddenly experienced a change in skin color, and said, “Brother Han, if my conclusion is correct, your granddaughter and Tang Xiu should have a special relationship. ”
But Han Jintong replied with a helpless expression, "That girl .. Qingwu hasn't returned home since the matter last time. He even gave a careless answer and hung up the phone when I called him to ask him. I only know that Qingwu was once Tang Xiu's class teacher in high school. Now she teaches at Shanghai University and is also Tang Xiu's classroom teacher again. But I don't know anything about how well they get along. ”
"Right," Wei Jiangping nodded and said, "Sister Han, I must go first to send this Sitar Jadewind to him. I believe that he will not lie given his identity. ”
"Go, go!" Han Jintong.
——
On certain commercial roads in Shanghai. . .
Tang Xiu and Mu Wanying had found several shops, yet they were unable to find a good quality zither. Using his sharp eyesight, although there were some zithers who were barely playable, the tone effect after playing them was much worse than expected.
Just as the two felt helpless, Tang Xiu received a call from Chi Nan and learned that Wei Jiangping had sent a zither to the Eternal Feast Hall.
“I hope Wei Jiangping has little ability to find a good lute! Otherwise, I can just buy one randomly and finish it later tonight. "Tang Xiu sighed.
As calm and gentle as ever, Mu Wanying smiled slightly and said, “Well, I believe that even though it is a very ordinary siter, it will still produce the most beautiful tone after you play it. ”
Tang Xiu smiled in response and, then drove back to the Eternal Feast Hall.
—
Inside the General Manager's Office, Chi Nan and Wei Jiangping stood in front of the sofa, while the zither was placed on the tea table. However, his body could not be seen as it was wrapped in silk cloth.
After Tang Xiu entered the office, his gaze fell on the tea table, "Is this the zither you brought?"
With a respectful look, Wei Jiangping nodded and said, "I borrowed it from the wife of an old friend. It is called Sitar Jadewind, a masterpiece painstakingly crafted by a grandmaster in the Qin Dynasty period. I don't know anything about siter, so I don't dare to evaluate the quality of this siter. ”
Tang Xiu walked in front of the tea table and gently opened the silk cloth. In front of him was revealed a zither that was made beautifully and beautifully. He could identify at a glance that the zither was made from the wood of the Golden Phoebe tree.
Ding …!
A pleasant tone was produced when Tang Xiu's finger plucked the strings.
“This circuit is barely passable. Not bad . ”
Tang Xiu nodded and looked at Wei Jiangping as he said, "You can go. Come here again to pick up this zither tomorrow night. ”
Wei Jiangping hesitated, and would speak something. But when he saw Tang Xiu's indifferent expression, he swallowed the words he wanted to say. He nodded silently, turned around, and left.
Lifting the Sitar Jadewind again with a silk cloth, Tang Xiu picked it up, and said, "Chi Nan, if you come to Shanghai University tonight, wait until after I get on stage, please, and then bring this zither back with you when you're gone. Also, I want you to do one thing for me: find some kind-hearted housemaids. ”
"All right!" Chi Nan replied respectfully. "I'll call you later. ”
"okay!" Tang Xiu nodded and left the Eternal Feast Hall with Mu Wanying. The two did not return directly to campus, but went to the Bluestar Villa Complex instead. There were still a few hours left before the freshman welcoming party tonight, so they decided to take a break first, and then go to campus after dinner.
——
Inside the villa. . .
Mu Wanying had just finished a phone call when he said with a smile, “Tang Xiu, this evening's freshman welcoming party should be fun and exciting. ”
"Why do you say that?" Tang Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"A friend of mine just called me, saying that ever since Shanghai University we've been having a freshman welcoming party tonight, an authoritative figure from our campus, through a special relationship, through a special relationship, having contacted Zhang Xinya, who is currently preparing for her concert in Shanghai I heard that the opening ceremony of the new student welcoming party tonight was exactly listed as Zhang Xinya on the program list. ”
