古董下山 (ENGLISH: Old Fogey Goes Down The Mountain)

Chapter 33 - He's not dangerous at all

Happy Friday! :D

-----------------------------------

Tuan Jieyi was right. There are indeed a lot of people here, but as Wei Xi carefully observed his surroundings, he realized that most people present were radiating with fortune and riches. Few looked as unfortunate as the girl he met just now.

His eldest disciple also surveyed the surroundings and seemed to realize something. He muttered enviously: "No wonder you can be made successful here..."

One after another, each emanating prosperity, he couldn't wait to soak it all in.

Meanwhile Wei Xi was thinking, aiya~ this is so unexpected. Had he known, he would have stayed and chatted with those girls at the entrance longer. In his hurry to get to potential customers, he left the true customer behind.

Thanks to this he was feeling a little down. Then he heard one of his exemplary employees snort again. He turned his head and saw Wei Chengshu's slender eyes glancing sideways at him, giving him a cold yet complex look as he said: "You finally did well for once."

Wei Xi didn't understand what he meant, but it wasn't his stinkin' problem to worry about. He raised his hand and smacked the back of his head. How dare he talk to his boss this way!

Wei Chengshu has gotten used to being beaten around lately, so he didn't get angry either and just rolled his eyes while clutching the back of his head and turned away.

Fortunately Wei Xi's feelings of regret were immediately relieved. As he pushed his way through the dense crowd around him, he saw a long table at the edge of the hall that spanned nearly half the venue! And on it was piles and piles of food!

For the time being, the sweet aroma of wine and food overpowered all of the chaos.

He made his way toward the food and wine table with Tuan Jieyi when a voice stopped him in his tracks.

Lu Wenqing saw Wei Xi's face from miles away. Since returning from the haunted house, his feelings concerning Wei Xi have gotten very complicated. Every once in a while, he would still wake up to the memory of Wei Xi viciously beating Ruan Shixing until the ghost haunting him slid out of his chest. His childhood fear of the supernatural is difficult to overcome. Ever since he was little his strong yin energy has caused various ghosts to bully him. Even after over a decade of home training, that was his first time witnessing such violent exorcism methods. At this moment he admired Wei Xi's talent and strength, and he worshiped Wei Xi's courage and techniques. Though he earnestly looked forward to meeting him again, he still couldn't just bother the other party. However, since this time they were coincidentally running into each other, he hastily bid farewell to his family.

"Wei Xi." Lu Wenqing walked over but then found himself not knowing what else to say. He looked behind Wei Xi and laughed. "How come I don't see your newest disciple? I've already heard from Ruan Shixing."

Wei Xi gazed at the buffet table full of food: "He had things to do so he didn't come with us. I'm going to bring him some food. Why are you here?"

Bring food? Lu Wenqing didn't understand but when he heard the question, he thought back to how he never revealed anything about his family background to the outside world while he was in school. He explained: "My family has always been a member of the Chamber of Commerce organization, and this year is my family's turn to organize the event."

Tuan Jieyi recognized him. Since the several times they've met he was always doing spiritual work, this news was very surprising: "I thought you came from a family of practitioners?"
