Xie Lige didn't know what Lu Xiaofeng was thinking, and he didn't care too much about it. Of course, even if he knew what Lu Xiaofeng was thinking, he would just laugh it off.
The previous world had too many ups and downs, and his old bones were too lazy to move. Now that he was in this world, he naturally wanted to live peacefully and complete his mission. At the same time, he also wanted to cure the eyes of his obedient godson.
Xie Lige found his cheap godson very pleasing to the eye.
He was kind, considerate, and a modest gentleman. All the good qualities could be found in him. This made Xie Lige, who had experienced two crazy people before, feel quite moved.
"Lu Xiaofeng?" Xie Lige repeated Hua Manlou's words, and his expression looked a little puzzled.
Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard proudly and said, "That's me."
Xie Lige sat in his chair and looked at Lu Xiaofeng with a smile that wasn't a smile. He said slowly and gently, "Never heard of you."
Lu Xiaofeng choked. He didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how to say it.
After all, this person was Hua Manlou's elder, so naturally, he was also his elder. Moreover, his reputation wasn't so great that anyone in Jianghu could say that he was Lu Xiaofeng.
Well, he had been tricked again this time.
Lu Xiaofeng sat in his chair and thought with a frown.
Hua Manlou smiled gently and said, "Godfather, don't tease him anymore.
If you continue, I'm afraid his beard will fall off. "
Xie Lige didn't say anything. He raised his hand and took a sip of the tea on the table.
But in the end, he still listened to Hua Manlou's words and didn't continue to tease Lu Xiaofeng. He dusted off his sleeves, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the fragrance of the tea that bloomed in his mouth.
Since he didn't say anything, no one present dared to say anything. The atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Xie Lige's smooth movements, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. That set of movements of drinking tea seemed casual, but in fact, every movement was just right, and it was noble everywhere. At a glance, it was out of place with the surroundings, and Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but open his eyes.
He thought that he had seen a lot of high-ranking officials and nobles and had already understood them. But now that he saw this person, he realized that those who claimed to be nobles were not even one-tenth of the person in front of him.
The Wei and Jin Dynasties style was vividly displayed on this man.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at him with admiration. Of course, the vigilance in his heart had not lessened. On the contrary, it had increased.
This kind of vigilance came from a premonition of danger. This instinct allowed him to escape from many fatal dangers.
However, the vigilance that Lu Xiaofeng encountered on Xie Lige was not the same as usual. He didn't know why, but Lu Xiaofeng was strangely confident that his life would not be in danger in Hua Manlou's small building.
In fact, Lu Xiaofeng believed that his guess was correct.
Therefore, even if the person opposite him was very scary, Lu Xiaofeng's gaze was still full of amazement as he looked at the man opposite him.
That was a very good-looking man.
Yes, that's right, good-looking!
His long hair was as white as snow, and his long and narrow eyes were slightly narrowed. A bright light flashed in his pupils. A gentleman's belly was full of youthful beauty. That person was as magnificent as a large sea of flowers behind him.
His elegant and noble face, contrasted with his snow-white hair, added a bit of evil paleness, and his cold thin lips slightly curved up with bad intentions.
"How should I address you, senior?"
Lu Xiaofeng liked interesting people, and he also loved to make friends.
In the face of such a mysterious person, Lu Xiaofeng felt that he could make another friend, and his eyes shone with excitement.
Xie Lige listened to the birds and insects outside the window, and his mood slowly calmed down. Suddenly, he heard a calm voice beside his ear, and he opened his eyes.
"I am Qi Tong's adoptive father. You can call me Uncle." Xie Lige lowered his eyebrows and played with the jade flute in his hand, and said indifferently.
Oh, uncle!
Lu Xiaofeng thought about it, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Hua Manlou smiled slightly.
He knew that his adoptive father was mischievous, but he didn't stop him. Instead, he sat to the side and watched the show.
Xie Lige thought that it would be a waste if he didn't play. He looked at Lu Xiaofeng with a smile and asked, "Why did you come here?"
At the mention of this, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but frown, and his shoulders collapsed. Sigh, he was in trouble again.
Hua Manlou laughed and said, "Hasn't Lu Xiaofeng always been in trouble?"
Lu Xiaofeng drank a mouthful of wine to relieve the thirst in his throat, and couldn't help but sigh again. "It's not that kind of trouble."
He couldn't say that he had encountered such trouble because he had refused the invitation of this peerless beauty and chose to be free.
Hua Manlou was about to ask when suddenly, a sound came from behind him. A small set of footsteps came up the stairs.
There was also the sound of light breathing.
Everyone present stopped in their tracks.
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but look at Xie Lige, but he found that the latter didn't move at all. He sat there very calmly, and as if he had sensed Lu Xiaofeng's gaze, he looked at Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiao Feng stared blankly as that thin lips curved up into a smile.
Okay, he knew.
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had hidden at Hua Manlou's side to avoid this trouble, but now he had to face it himself. In any case, he didn't dare to drag Hua Manlou down with him. Now that he saw how protective the person opposite him was, if he dared to drag Hua Manlou down with him …
The outcome would definitely not be good.
A young girl of seventeen or eighteen hurriedly ran up the stairs. She looked very frightened, and her breathing was very rapid.
She couldn't be considered very beautiful, but her big bright eyes were very lively and intelligent. Unfortunately, there was an indescribable panic and fear in her eyes.
Lu Xiaofeng met that pair of big, panic-stricken eyes.
His head hurt again.
Lu Xiaofeng had a feeling that he might be in trouble, this was his intuition. When this little girl was running towards him from the street, his first reaction was to run away immediately. He did not expect that a monk can run away, but the temple cannot. Unexpectedly that little girl chased him all the way to this small building.
Hua Manlou's small building had never been closed to people in trouble, so this young girl could naturally come up.
Feeling that he might not be able to avoid this trouble, Lu Xiaofeng simply smashed the pot that had already been cracked. He half reclined on the chair behind him and said very straightforwardly, "I don't know what this young girl wants, but you've been painstakingly following this one. Could it be …"
Lu Xiaofeng looked at the young girl's upper body and gently circled around. His tone was a bit light.
In the end, he was still a bit angry. He liked to take care of trouble, but he didn't like to take care of trouble that others forced on him.
And this young girl was that kind of trouble that was forced on him.
But who would have thought that when the young girl heard this, she did not pay any attention to Lu Xiaofeng's words. Not only did she not pay any attention to him, she even ignored his gaze on her body. With an anxious expression on her face, she called out to Hua Manlou, "Save me!"
She was like a weak little rabbit looking for protection. Her trembling appearance could easily arouse people's desire to protect her.
Hua Manlou gently said, "You don't need to hide anymore. As long as you're here, you'll be safe."
"Really?" The young girl blinked her eyes, as if she still didn't believe him. "Not only the person chasing me is very fierce, he also has a knife. He could kill me at any time!"
Hua Manlou laughed and said, "I guarantee that he won't kill anyone in my place."
The young girl was still flustered. She was about to ask him, "Why?"
But she couldn't ask anymore. The person chasing her had already chased her up the stairs.
His stature was very tall, but his movements were very light as he climbed the stairs.
Sure enough, he had a knife in his hand. His eyes shone with a fierceness even more frightening than a knife. When he saw the young girl, he glared and shouted, "Let's see where you can run now!"
The young girl was running behind Hua Manlou. Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Since she's already here, there's no need for her to run anymore."
The man with the knife glared at him. Seeing that he was just a very refined and elegant young man, he immediately laughed and said, "Do you know who I am? How dare you stick your nose in my business!"
Hua Manlou's attitude was just as gentle as before. "Who are you?" he asked.
The man puffed out his chest and said, "I'm the Flower Knife Taisui Cui Yi Dong. I'll give you one stab, and you'll have another hole in your body!"
Inside the building, Shangguan Feiyan's face was pure and innocent. But in reality, she was plotting and scheming. She swept her gaze over the building, silently committing it to memory.
But when her gaze fell upon the mysterious white-haired man behind Hua Manlou, she was stunned.
He was an extremely handsome man, and his aura was extraordinary. His movements, although casual, were elegant.
The man was as handsome as a painting, as elegant as jade. What left the deepest impression was his deep black eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
He seemed to sense her gaze, and his head turned in her direction. Shangguan Feiyan reflexively paused, and subconsciously prepared to flee. She felt that her thoughts could not be hidden from this pair of eyes.
Then she saw Hua Manlou, whose face was full of worry. She stopped in her tracks. She forced a smile, indicating that she was fine. After a while, she realized that this man could not see her.
Who was he?
Shangguan Feiyan frowned and thought for a while. She realized that she could not think of anyone who could match this man. Just one look from him was enough to make her panic. A person like this should not have concealed his identity until now.
Shangguan Feiyan did not have time to think. She raised her head and looked at Hua Manlou, who was staring at the tall man.
Shangguan Feiyan hated men, but she also liked men. She hated men who pursued her relentlessly, but she also liked men who were infatuated with her.
At this moment, Hua Manlou was facing a tall man. He was not nervous at all, and his calm demeanor made her feel proud.
She was proud of her attraction to these men.
Hearing that the man was about to poke a hole in his body, Hua Manlou said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but I don't need it."
Cui Yidong's face changed color. He suddenly roared, "Even if you don't want it, you have to!"
With a backhand flick of his saber, the saber light flashed, and his saber pierced towards Hua Manlou's chest.
Hua Manlou did not even move his body. He only moved two of his fingers.
He suddenly reached out and clamped Cui Yidong's knife between his fingers.
The knife seemed to have grown roots between his fingers.
Cui Yidong tried to pull it out, but he could not.
His face suddenly changed. He looked fiercely at Hua Manlou.
He took out a short knife from his bosom and prepared to stab.
Shangguan Feiyan also saw his actions. She was not in a hurry to warn Hua Manlou. She rolled her eyes and continued to play the part of a pitiful girl.
In the next second, a cold sentence was heard.
"You came here just to put on a show for me?"
That one sentence attracted everyone's attention, including Lu Xiaofeng, who was pretending to drink nonstop, preparing to pretend to be drunk when Hua Manlou's little girl was rescued.
They all looked curiously at the expressionless Xie Lige. They stopped drinking and obediently put their hands together, waiting for Xie Lige's answer.
"Little girl, your acting is not bad."
Xie Lige saw that everyone was obedient and stopped talking. He looked at the yellow name above Shangguan Feiyan's head and spoke calmly.
Disregarding everything else, if he didn't see such a big yellow name, then he was really blind.
What?
Shangguan Feiyan stared at Xie Lige with wide eyes. She couldn't believe that her disguise had been seen through.
"What act?" Shangguan Feiyan's heart was filled with panic. She forced herself to remain calm.
However, she couldn't help but look at Hua Manlou.
He was her original target.
When Hua Manlou heard his adoptive father's words, he paused and didn't say anything. He trusted his adoptive father's judgment more than someone he didn't know.
When Lu Xiaofeng heard this, he followed Xie Lige's gaze to Shangguan Feiyan. Sure enough, he saw that she was pretending to be calm. The panic in her eyes didn't seem to be fake either. He already believed 70% of what Qi Tong's adoptive father said.
Xie Lige sneered. "I don't know what your goal is.
I don't know what your relationship with Lu Xiaofeng is either. However, I'm sure that you came here because of my son.
I have no choice but to get involved. "
Shangguan Feiyan was a smart person. She knew that her disguise had been seen through, so she abandoned her pitiful appearance and put on a noble and arrogant expression. She sneered at the white-haired man.
