"What are you all talking about? What happened to Ye Xiuzhu?" Lu Feng asked curiously. "When I went to Emei Mountain last time, I felt something was off. Ye Xiuzhu seemed like a completely different person. What exactly happened?"
"I can tell you both the details, but I hope you can keep it a secret!" Zhang Yingfeng said.
"Don't worry, my mouth is the tightest," Lu Feng replied.
Hua Man Lou nodded in agreement.
Zhang Yingfeng sighed, "The Ye Xiuzhu you first met is not my Sister Disciple, but rather a wild spirit that took over Sister Disciple's body. The wild spirit is very powerful; it can confuse people's hearts and possesses abilities that ordinary people do not have. Playboy should have the most experience with this, right? Your eyes were healed by her abilities, but once she disappeared, your eyes returned to darkness. I wonder if her abilities had any negative effects on your eyes?"
Hua Man Lou looked at Bai Tang.
Bai Tang replied, "Don't worry. After using my Gene Repair Agent, all issues have been resolved. You'll be guaranteed a long life!"
Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and then exclaimed in surprise, "So there really are gods and ghosts in this world?"
Bai Tang answered him, "Yes, I've seen them before!"
"Really?" Lu Feng's eyes lit up. "When can we see them too?"
"They have already fallen!" Bai Tang said, having personally wiped them out.
"Uh, you're not just joking with me, are you?"
Bai Tang gave him a sidelong glance, as if to say, "Believe it or not."
Lu Feng rubbed his nose; whatever Bai Tang said was what it was! He respected women!
"Lu Feng, what did you come here for this time? Don't tell me you're here to pick up Seven Children?"
Lu Feng's smile faded as he said, "I am indeed here to find Seven Children, hoping to ask Seven Children for help in comforting a few people!"
"What people?" Hua Man Lou asked, puzzled.
"Chang Man, Jiang Chongwei, Hua Yifan..."
Hua Man Lou was shocked. "What happened to them?"
Lu Feng replied, "They are all blind. Not just them, but over seventy others, all turned blind by Embroidered Thief."
Hua Man Lou frowned, his beautiful brows knitting together. He despised Embroidered Thief's methods. Having once been blind himself, he understood how helpless and troubled a Daoist could feel in the dark.
"Tang Tang, can you heal these people's eyes?"
"Theoretically, the Gene Repair Agent can heal their eyes, but I don't want to go out. I can give you the potion; you can take it out and help them." Bai Tang preferred to stay out of the spotlight.
"Well... okay!" Hua Man Lou agreed. Having known Bai Tang for so long, he realized that she was not someone who craved fame. Instead, she preferred a stable life; otherwise, with her abilities, she would have already gained immense renown in the martial world.
"Thank you!" Bai Tang expressed her gratitude for Hua Man Lou's thoughtfulness. "I'll prepare the potion for you when you leave!"
Tonight, he would make a trip to Future World! The Gene Repair Agent was quite common there, a household essential—expensive but not overly so.
"Lu Feng, continue with the matter of Embroidered Thief!” Hua Man Lou felt much lighter and was in the mood to inquire about Embroidered Thief.
"Embroidered Thief specializes in blinding people; he has already turned at least seventy or eighty people blind with his embroidery needle—two stitches per person! Not only does he blind people, but he also stole eighteen jars of pearls from Southeast Wangfu, seventy priceless scrolls and paintings collected by Hua Yuxuan, eight hundred thousand taels of silver from Zhenyuan, a batch of red goods from Zhendongbao, and ninety thousand taels of golden leaves from Golden Sands River! In just one month, this person has committed sixty or seventy major crimes all by himself." Lu Feng said. "That's why Jin Jiuling came to me, asking for my help in capturing Embroidered Thief!"
Hua Man Lou opened his folding fan and waved it lightly. "Do you have any other clues?"
Lu Feng: "He is said to have a big beard and left behind a piece of satin that he embroidered at the scene. I was just thinking of taking the satin to consult an expert!"
Hua Man Lou and Zhang Yingfeng both laughed, "Professionals? Heh, don't let your heart get bitten again."
Lu Feng smiled, "The most beautiful tigress, even if bitten, is still a kind of enjoyment!"
Bai Tang looked at Lu Feng with disdain. Although she didn't like the people in red shoes, it was indeed a pity that Xue Bing died because of Lu Feng's involvement.
"Lu Ji, your Jin Jiuling is the chief catcher of Six Doors?"
"Tang Tang knows Jin Jiuling?"
"Yes, I heard Jin Jiuling is someone who knows how to enjoy life and put on a show. The clothes he wears are always of the highest quality, the latest styles, and the craftsmanship is always exquisite. The folding fan in his hand is also a priceless treasure that can serve as a weapon when necessary. Jin Jiuling's skills in acupuncture are top-notch; in fact, everything about him is first-rate. He won't drink anything that isn't top-shelf liquor; he won't look at women who aren't first-rate; he absolutely won't ride in anything but the best cars. He has always lived a lavish life and takes good care of himself. He doesn't seem like a martial arts master feared in the underworld but rather like a playboy who enjoys the spotlight."
"Tang Tang seems to know Jin Jiuling quite well!"
Bai Tang ignored Lu Feng's teasing tone and continued, "Jin Jiuling comes from an ordinary family. I heard all his money comes from appraising antiques and horse racing. But can these two really earn him enough money to spend lavishly?"
Lu Feng's expression became serious, and Hua Man Lou also stopped fanning himself.
"Do you suspect Jin Jiuling?" Lu Feng asked in a low voice.
"I heard the mastermind behind the Golden Peng Dynasty incident, Huo Xiu, is your friend?" Bai Tang's words stirred something in the hearts of the three; Jin Jiuling was also Lu Feng's friend.
"I will pay more attention, but until I find the truth, I trust my friends!" Lu Feng said.
Wait until you encounter events like Duel Night or Ghost Manor; then you'll know how troublesome those friends of yours can be!
Bai Tang pouted and didn't provoke Phoenix further. After all, she had already warned him; if Xue Bing couldn't escape her fate of death, it would be her misfortune. The women in red shoes were all twisted and ruthless individuals; the more they died, the less ordinary people would suffer from their persecution.
Lu Feng and Hua Man Lou left while Zhang Yingfeng stayed behind.
“Is there anything else, Zhang Shao Xia?” Bai Tang had a good impression of Zhang Yingfeng, but she did not intend to invite him to stay in Zhuangzi. Bai Tang trusted Hua Man Lou and Lu Feng, but she trusted them more than she would trust anyone else. Her parents were not aggressive, and she did not want any uncertain factors around them.
Zhang Yingfeng's face turned red, and after a moment he said, “Bai Gu Niang, may I ask how old you are this year?”
“Ask me my age?” Bai Tang raised her eyebrows. “Didn’t your sisters tell you that it is very impolite to ask a girl her age?”
Zhang Yingfeng's face turned even redder as he hurriedly explained, “Please don’t be angry! Actually, there is a portrait at my grandfather's house, and the person in it looks exactly like you. I thought you were the person in the portrait and found it strange, so I asked your age.”
“My portrait?!” Bai Tang was surprised.
Zhang Yingfeng turned out to be a descendant of Bai Tang's old acquaintance! Zhang Yingfeng came from a prominent family; the Zhang Family was the maternal family of Jia She’s wife. Zhang Yingfeng's father was a generation lower than Jia Lian and later married Xue Pan’s daughter through connections made by the Jia Family. When Zhang Yingfeng was at the Xue Family, he had seen Bai Tang’s portrait that Xue Pan had requested his sister Xue Baochai to paint in memory of their Master. As a young man, Zhang Yingfeng had another chance to see the portrait and was captivated by the woman in it, developing a slight admiration for her. That was why he felt embarrassed when asking Bai Tang.
“You are actually Xue Pan’s grandson?” Bai Tang found it hard to believe. The characters from Dream of the Red Chamber mixed with those from Lu Feng felt quite strange!
“You know my grandfather? Then you really are the person in the portrait?” Zhang Yingfeng exclaimed, his emotions suddenly becoming incredibly complex. Confirming that Bai Tang was the woman in the painting was good news; if he told his grandfather about it, his grandfather would surely be very happy. In recent years, his grandfather’s health had been declining, and all the grandchildren tried various ways to make him happy and satisfied. However, if Bai Tang really was the woman in the portrait, wouldn’t her age make her old enough to be his great-grandmother? The young man's feelings of admiration instantly sank into cold water. Zhang Yingfeng wanted to look at the moon and lament his lost first love!
“I’m not!” Bai Tang firmly denied it, not wanting to be seen as an old hag.
“Then how do you know my grandfather's name?”
“I heard it. The person in the portrait is not me; she is my ancestor. My parents and I look very much like her!”
“I see!” Zhang Yingfeng's face turned red again, joy bubbling up inside him. His current demeanor could be likened to Duan Yu when he saw Wang Yuyan at Mandala Villa.
Bai Tang looked at Zhang Yingfeng with confusion, completely unaware that this man before her was her secret admirer.
“Do you have anything else?” The implication was clear: if there’s nothing else, you can leave; our villa does not entertain you!
Zhang Yingfeng felt disheartened; his dream lover treated him like a stranger, which made him very sad!
"Um, can you accompany me to see my Grandfather?" Zhang Yingfeng said earnestly. "My Grandfather's wish is to see his Master one more time. He is getting older and his health is deteriorating. Can you fulfill this wish for him?"
Recalling the chubby figure from his memories, Bai Tang's heart softened. "Sure. However, I will be away from home for a while. Can we go together a month later?"
"Of course!" Zhang Yingfeng nodded. "I'll come find you in a month!"
"Take care, no need to see me off!" Bai Tang waved.
Zhang Yingfeng looked back at Bai Tang with reluctance and left with a wounded heart.
Karen Adrian walked up behind Bai Tang.
"What do you want?" Bai Tang glanced at Karen Adrian in confusion.
"Nothing!" Karen Adrian replied lightly. He wouldn't tell her about that guy having feelings for Bai Tang! Hmph, he would be this selfish!
