His clear eyes held no ulterior motives, making the men who were about to make a move feel utterly ashamed.
"Old Zhang, long time no see. How have you been?" Lu Mingfei walked up to Zhang Chulan in a few steps and quickly shook hands. He missed this shameless guy very much.
Before Zhang Chulan could reply.
A maid dressed in white with cat ears walked over carrying a sofa bigger than herself and placed it behind the group.
This scene surprised Zhang Chulan, who had prepared his prepared remarks.
How long has it been since I last saw Lu Mingfei, and his home has become like this?
"not bad."
Zhang Chulan smiled and began exchanging pleasantries with Lu Mingfei.
"It's been a long time, hasn't it?"
"It's been a long time."
"Then I'd like to wish you a Happy New Year, and may everything go well for you, good health, and abundant wealth."
"Thanks, Lao Zhang, but it's not the right time yet."
"Pretty much."
Zhang Chulan sat opposite Lu Mingfei.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly froze, with only the sound of Feng Baobao cracking open nuts and chewing them remaining.
"Old Lu, who are these two?" Zhang Chulan couldn't help but start the conversation, pointing to the two "people" who were serving tea and water and seemed to have little human presence.
"They are dolls made by Yan Yan, and there are evil spirits possessing them. It's perfect to have them do housework."
"An evil spirit?" Zhang Lingyu could feel a considerable sense of oppression emanating from the puppet, seemingly emanating unconsciously. Just that alone made him feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
A doll that does housework is more capable than him.
Lu Linglong and Lu Lin, who came along with them, seemed to have noticed the same problem, and their expressions changed slightly.
Only Feng Baobao seemed completely unaffected, enjoying the snacks served by the doll.
Zhang Chulan's lips twitched a few times, but he suppressed it.
"Old Lu, you must promise me what I'm about to say."
"You tell me first, and then I'll consider whether I agree or not."
"I'll talk to you after you agree."
"Fine, don't tell me then."
Lu Mingfei knew that Zhang Chulan was going to use him as a guinea pig again, and he wouldn't allow it.
"Old Lu! You have to save me!"
Zhang Chulan knelt down in front of Lu Mingfei with a thud, slowly crawled to Lu Mingfei's feet, kowtowed heavily, and then hugged his legs and began to cry.
“I’m going to the Tang Clan in a few days. You should know that my grandfather killed many people from the Tang Clan. The people from the Tang Clan hate me now and wish they could eat my flesh and drink my blood. You have to help me.”
Zhang Chulan's "abilities" were evident to all when he was at Longhu Mountain. Although it was somewhat surprising, it seemed reasonable.
They only glanced at them slightly.
Only Zhang Lingyu had his eyes closed, looking as if he regretted meeting Zhang Chulan.
Zhang Chulan's kneeling incident opened up a new topic of conversation.
"Wow, Yan Yan, these two dolls are so beautiful! Did you make them?" Lu Linglong looked curiously at Sadako and Hachiko walking back and forth. Apart from lacking any human aura and having frighteningly white skin, they were no different from living people.
"I only provided the basic equipment; it was completed by Mingfei and me together," Liu Yanyan said modestly.
"That's quite an achievement. Is working at the company very tiring?" Lu Linglong had contacted Liu Yanyan a while ago and learned that she was in Biyou Village, but she quickly lost contact with her.
There was no further contact, and when I heard from them again, they had transformed into someone who was practically a temporary worker.
Only a few months have passed.
These changes are quite intriguing.
"Not bad, can't sit still." Liu Yanyan glanced at Zhang Chulan, who was clinging to Lu Mingfei's leg, and dragged Feng Baobao and Lu Linglong to another living room.
They started gossiping among the girls.
On the other side, Lu Mingfei responded firmly:
"No way! Even if you kill me, I won't go!"
Lu Mingfei, in a rather lazy manner, dragged Zhang Chulan to lie down on the sofa.
Zhang Lingyu silently recited scriptures to distract herself.
Lu Lin first looked at Zhang Chulan and Lu Mingfei, not knowing what to say for a moment. Then she looked at Zhang Lingyu who was meditating, and finally at the girls not far away. Her gaze lingered on Feng Baobao for a while before she looked away.
At this moment, he felt as awkward as when visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year and being at a loss for what to do with someone he didn't recognize.
"Old Lu, since you won't agree, I don't have any good ideas. How about I treat you to a nice meal to welcome you back?" Zhang Chulan released Lu Mingfei's leg.
"Let's go quickly." Lu Mingfei perked up instantly; he had always enjoyed eating and drinking for free.
"Yan Yan, Lao Zhang is treating us to dinner, shall we go together?" Lu Mingfei called out to Liu Yan Yan.
"it is good."
A hint of pain flashed across Zhang Chulan's face. He could barely afford the prices in Kyoto, but he was still going to suffer a significant financial loss.
but.
They finally fell for it.
He knew that Lu Mingfei couldn't resist the temptation of eating and drinking for free; how could you have a meal and gathering without drinking?
Then, have Bao'er give Lu Mingfei a few bottles of strong liquor, drink him until he's completely unconscious, and then quietly drag him away. Lu Mingfei will have no choice but to go.
......
"This is it."
Lu Mingfei, Zhang Chulan, and their group of seven selected a private room at a star-rated hotel.
Zhang Chulan's hands trembled slightly as he held the menu; his hard-earned savings had been squandered just like that.
As the menu was passed around, Zhang Chulan's face turned pale.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Lu Lin couldn't find a topic to talk about, and noticed Zhang Chulan's unusual behavior while sitting next to Feng Baobao.
"No, my stock performance isn't good." Zhang Chulan forced an awkward smile.
Before the dishes were served, the topic of the Luo Tian Grand Ritual was discussed.
There was also the Biyou Village incident, which caused quite a stir in the world of supernatural beings, and each time it was related to the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.
At least four of the seven people present were inheritors of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, and opinions on this matter differed.
Zhang Lingyu, who acquired the Eight Extraordinary Skills in the shortest time, didn't gain much insight. Although he hadn't been down the mountain for long and had been harassed by many people, not many came specifically for the Eight Extraordinary Skills.
"The Eight Extraordinary Skills are indeed powerful. The abilities created by those predecessors with painstaking effort are abilities that many people cannot achieve even after a lifetime. It is not difficult to understand the feelings of those who pursue the Eight Extraordinary Skills."
Even though Zhang Lingyu had fallen to the point of being homeless and possibly being hunted down, he remained so friendly and even willing to put himself in the shoes of the people chasing him.
Zhang Chulan could only manage a bitter smile.
Lu Mingfei wasn't particularly interested in the past of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, but he was interested in their impact.
"Although the Eight Extraordinary Techniques are methods of creating chaos, if used properly, they can also create things to maintain order, or be directly recruited into the government. Ah... it's so great to have a salary without having to work."
Lu Mingfei leaned back in his chair and sighed.
Memories flashed before Zhang Chulan's eyes: because of displaying his abilities, he was forced to move again and again, had to suppress his abilities, had to stop cultivating, and had to make himself mediocre.
All of this was because of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, and before he could even demonstrate his talent in them, he was snatched up by various forces and nearly torn to pieces.
Despite his efforts to shed the label of being a successor of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, has he truly escaped it?
Do other people really believe it?
Perhaps only when the Eight Extraordinary Skills completely disappear will the malicious thoughts about him cease.
but......
Zhang Chulan glanced down at Feng Baobao beside him.
There's no going back!
The expensive dishes were served, along with several bottles of strong liquor.
Having learned from his previous experience of being hugged and kissed wildly by Liu Yanyan, Lu Mingfei drank very moderately.
So he poured half a glass for Lu Mingfei first.
Once it gets going, fill it up again.
Zhang Chulan took a small sip each time he clinked glasses with someone, trying to stay as sober as possible.
He told Feng Baobao, who was next to Lu Mingfei, to start drinking freely and then urged him on.
Unable to resist Feng Baobao's urging, Lu Mingfei said, "Sister Baobao, you've changed. You never used to urge me to drink."
The wine in the glass was slowly draining, but it couldn't withstand Feng Baobao's persuasive words that urged her to drink, which were as persuasive as a wine vat.
This caused Lu Mingfei to gradually relax his guard.
Zhang Lingyu watched as Lu Mingfei's face gradually turned red, then glanced at the tea in his hand, which showed no change, before relaxing and drinking it down.
Lu Lin's expression remained unchanged, as if the alcohol had no effect on him.
The San Yi Sect's ability, "Reverse Rebirth Triple," provides an overall boost to physical attributes, even seemingly strengthening internal organs.
Zhang Lingyu thought to herself, no wonder the Sanyi Sect was once a very powerful sect, it's just a pity that it encountered the Quanxing Sect.
Lu Linglong, who was getting a little drunk, leaned against Liu Yanyan.
"Yan Yan, how did you two meet? Can you tell me?"
"Hehehe... You might not believe it, but the first thing we did when we met was to have a date in the cemetery."
"Wow? Is it that exciting?"
Zhang Lingyu, who had been observing from the sidelines, couldn't join in the girls' conversation or help Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao persuade Lu Mingfei to drink. So she could only strike up a conversation with Lu Lin, who was also an outsider.
