At first glance, Wu Xie saw that Old Mrs. Hunt did not have a good impression of her and did not like her. Perhaps it was because of her status in the martial arts world and her age and experience. He saw that her eyes were almost growing to the top of her head and her expression was very arrogant. Old Mrs. Huo was also known as Fairy Huo in the streets. She was also a ruthless character. She had a head of white hair and her skin was very white. It was the kind of white that was a little scary. There was no blood at all. The veins on her face could be seen clearly through her skin, as if they were only wrapped in a thin layer of skin. It was very strange. If she was not standing in front of everyone and under the sunlight, she really did not look like a living person.
When Wu Xie got closer to Old Madam Huo, he smelled a strong scent from her body. The scent was especially familiar, so familiar that it made Wu Xie frightened, annoyed, and uncomfortable. Wu Xie's expression was a little ugly. She recalled those bad things, but she knew that now was not the time to talk about them. She still did not know what her purpose was, so she tried her best to maintain a calm expression and wait patiently.
Fatty also realized that something was wrong. He felt that there was something wrong with this old lady. The fragrance on her body was also wrong. It was not the smell of perfume at all. He leaned forward and quietly asked Wu Xie,""Naive, don't you think the smell on this old lady is very familiar?”
Wu Xie admired Fatty's agility. Although he was usually careless, he was always the first to notice something. Wu Xie mouthed to Fatty,""Undersea, Forbidden Granny."
Fatty was shocked when he heard that. He almost shouted out when he thought of the forbidden woman at the bottom of the sea. Wu Xie was so frightened that he immediately covered Fatty's mouth and rolled his eyes at him. Wu Xie whispered into Fatty's ear, gritting his teeth,""Are you courting death, Fatty? You idiot. You better be f * cking careful. What if we get silenced? You better be smart. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died.”
Fatty also knew that if he had shouted just now, it would definitely not be peaceful today. He nodded in understanding and looked at Wu Xie with a fawning and grateful smile. Wu Xie's anger dissipated when she saw his cheeky smile. She let go of his hand and saw that Fatty was still smiling foolishly. Wu Xie felt that this fatty should be called a fool.
The fat man's mouth was covered by Wu Xie's hand, and their bodies were tightly pressed together. Smelling the fragrance coming from Wu Xie's body, he felt his heart flutter, and waves of ripples appeared in his heart. No wonder they liked to stick to Wu Xie. Wu Xie turned his head and looked at Fatty. Seeing the smile on his face, he felt that it was obscene. Wu Xie shook his body and quickly avoided him. He rolled his eyes at Fatty and quickly walked towards Zhang Qi Ling and the others.
Wu Xie and the rest followed Old Madam Huo into the room. Old Madam Huo knelt down with a loud bang. The force of her kneeling down gave Fatty and the rest a fright. They saw that she was kneeling down for Zhang Qi Ling. Soo Soo also knelt down when she saw this. Wu Xie did not move. Logically speaking, Wu Xie should have gone forward to help the old lady. After all, she was his elder and the first love of his grandfather, Wu Ergou. He should have done something.
However, the smell on her body made Wu Xie feel fear and instinctive resistance. Wu Xie stood rooted to the ground, his mind constantly thinking, what went wrong? He felt that things were getting weirder and weirder. Fatty and Pan Zi saw that Wu Xie did not move, so they did not move either. They looked at the old lady with a wait-and-see attitude.
Old Mrs. Huo looked very excited. This expression on her pale face made her feel a little alive. Her voice trembled as she said to Zhang Qi Ling,"You, you're still alive? That's great…" Old Mrs. Huo's expression and voice made people think that Zhang Qi Ling was her long-lost relative. This made people suspicious.
"You know me?" Zhang Qi Ling looked at Old Madam Huo expressionlessly. When he heard this, his eyes turned cold at first, but then it turned into a puzzled expression. His cold voice trembled slightly as he asked,"You know who I am?" No one noticed the sudden change in his expression.
"Hmm……. "You haven't changed at all. You're still the same as you were decades ago," Old Madam Huo said. She continued to kneel on the ground and was helped up by Huo Xiuxiu. Seeing that no one else had helped her up, Old Madam Huo was a little dissatisfied. She followed Huo Xiuxiu's hand and stood up. Old Madam Huo sighed deeply."Sigh! It's a long story, and I need to talk to you alone.”Without waiting for Zhang Qi Ling and the others to respond, Old Madam Huo turned around and walked into the study.
Qi Ling did have some doubts. Although he didn't believe this old lady, he still followed after her. Just as he took a step, Qi Ling was grabbed by Wu Xie's arm. He turned around and gave Wu Xie a reassuring look. Wu Xie helplessly let go of his hand and said to him silently," Be careful." Zhang Qi Ling nodded and followed the old lady into the study.
Wu Xie looked worriedly at Zhang Qi Ling's back until her line of sight was cut off by the door. She came back to her senses and understood that although the old lady in the book was not a bad person, in reality, ever since Wu Xie saw her, he had an indescribable feeling. Wu Xie did not believe her at all, and she gave herself a bad feeling. This feeling made Wu Xie feel afraid and uneasy. Now that Old Madam Huo was talking to Zhang Qi Ling alone, they must be talking about the Zhang family's ancient building. There was also the event they had decades ago.
Wu Xie recalled," According to the book, Zhang Qi Ling was born in the Republic of China. She should be more than a hundred years old now. But Wu Xie felt that things weren't that simple. After all, things were very different from what was written in the book. Who knows what would happen in the future, just like this old lady Huo."
Wu Xie felt that this old lady was a huge variable. If they had to go to the Zhang Clan's ancient building this time, then this fight might change everyone's fate. As for the outcome, they could only wait and see. However, Wu Xie didn't know what kind of big turn it would take, so he could only react accordingly.
After Zhang Qi Ling followed the old lady in, Wu Xie and the others waited outside for more than an hour before Zhang Qi Ling came out.
Wu Xie heard the sound of the door opening and immediately got up and walked to Zhang Qi Ling. Wu Xie looked at him uneasily. His face was dark and full of worries. Wu Xie's heart was getting more and more uneasy. She had never seen Zhang Qi Ling like this. When he came out of the black hole, he was just confused. Now, he gave her a feeling that he was about to lose something. Wu Xie asked anxiously,"Little brother, do you have to go? Can we not go?"
Zhang Qi Ling looked at her, shook his head and was about to leave when Wu Xie grabbed his arm and said,""Little brother, do you have to go? Alright, I'll help you. You don't have to go through the trouble of finding a way to unlock the mechanism or go back to the place from decades ago. I'll tell you what to do when the time comes. I'll find it. But little brother, don't tell others that I said it, and don't ask me how I know. Little brother, you have to know that I, Wu Xie, will never harm you.”
Zhang Qi Ling was surprised. He looked at Wu Xie carefully and saw that Wu Xie was serious. He knew that Wu Xie really wanted to help him. Although he didn't know why Wu Xie knew so much, he knew that Wu Xie wouldn't hurt him. Zhang Qi Ling looked at Wu Xie for a while and nodded. His face was filled with warmth. He raised his hand to touch Wu Xie's head and said to her gently,"Don't worry, I believe you. Besides, I'm on your side.”
Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qi Ling in a daze. This was the first time he had touched his head. He was like an elder, and he did not hate it. Instead, he felt happy.
On the way to Banai, Wu Xie tried his best to persuade Pan Zi not to go, but Pan Zi didn't listen to him. Every time Wu Xie persuaded Pan Zi, Pan Zi's face would turn uglier. When Pan Zi's face couldn't be any worse, Wu Xie compromised and hoped that nothing would happen to him. Wu Xie was hoping that he would be lucky. After all, Wu Sansheng and Dakui were fine. Pan Zi's ending might have changed.
