Chapter 159: What a coincidence
"Brother Alai, this is your house!Why is it so big?" After entering the Wei Mansion, Qian Qian's sister and brother looked at the wide outer courtyard and the servants busy all over the outer courtyard, how could the two little guys have ever seen such a scene, they were all dumbfounded, and the young Qian Yue couldn't stop the surprise in his heart, and exclaimed loudly.
"It turns out that Brother Alai is so rich...... "Although Qian Qian is older and has a relatively calm temperament, he couldn't help muttering when he caught a glimpse of the various potted plant decorations in the Wei Mansion and the wooden pavilion rockery being built in the outer courtyard.
"This courtyard is all the hard-earned money that your brother Alai has earned day and night. Hearing the exclamations of the two, Sun Daren on the side whispered in a manner like a passerby.
Qian Qian blinked, she calculated carefully, Wei Lai and the others had only left Jinniu Town for four months, what would they do to make a living in four months to earn money to buy such a large courtyard?
Qian Qian was puzzled, so he looked at Sun Daren and asked, "Brother Daren, what kind of business does Brother Alai do day and night, so profitable?"
Qian Qian's father and mother have all died in the chaos in Wupan City, and she still remembers that on the night she was imprisoned, her mother, who learned of her father's death, took her hand and told him again and again to take care of her younger brother. Qian Qian didn't know what it meant to take good care, but she vaguely remembered that her father and mother often joked in the past that they wanted to find her a good family and marry a good daughter-in-law for their younger brother.
Qian Qian felt that to take care of his younger brother, the first step was to solve his younger brother's lifelong affairs. And if you want to solve this lifelong event, the premise is that you must have enough money before you can marry a daughter-in-law for Qian Yue. The little guy is also a big ghost, and when he heard that Wei Lai had a way to make a lot of money, he was immediately interested, so he wanted to ask if he could let himself learn it and make a fortune.
But when Sun Daren heard this, he showed a mocking look on his face, and then said with a strange smile: "This...... It's the kind of betrayal ......."
"Ahem!" But halfway through this, Wei Lai on the side suddenly coughed dryly.
Sun Daren, who was talking about Xingtou, heard this, his face changed, and he put away the nonsense in his mouth.
"You will rest here for a while, I think you are hungry too, and I have sent someone to prepare food for you, and after you have eaten, I will take you to the inner courtyard to pick two rooms, and you will stay here from now on." After entering the main house of the Wei Mansion, Wei Lai looked at the Qian family sisters and brothers with a smile and said.
Although Qian Qian was still thinking about finding Sun Daren to inquire about the way to make money, after all, Wei Lai had spoken, and the little guy was quite sensible and put away his mind to continue to ask, thinking that it would not be too late to ask again when he had the opportunity in the future.
Sun Daren was much more honest after being stopped by Wei Lai, and accompanied the Qian family sisters and brothers to chat about the recent situation in Jinniu Town, but when they asked why the two came to Ningxiao City, the two were at a loss. Sun Daren secretly felt strange, but he didn't think much about it, just reminded Wei Lai to pay attention carefully, maybe these two little guys ran away from home, after all, he, Young Master Sun, had never done such a thing in the past, and it was not surprising that he had such suspicions.
Wei Lai was noncommittal about this, and just nodded as if he was coping.
And after Sun Daren said this, he accompanied the Qian family sisters and brothers to say some family things, and said that he wanted to go back to the White Horse Academy to practice, and come back to get together with the two of them in the evening.
At that time, the faces of the Qian family sisters and brothers who were eating changed their faces, and they all lowered their heads with guilt, and the dishes and chopsticks they were holding were also put down by them at that time.
"Brother Alai...... I'm sorry......" Qian Qian, who was older, whispered, her hands on her knees, and she clutched the hem of her linen skirt tightly, so hard that her knuckles turned white.
Wei Lai was silent, just staring at the two of them silently, and the faint smile on his face when Sun Daren was present was also restrained by him at this time.
And perhaps it was precisely because of Wei Lai's gaze that the two sisters and brothers became more and more ashamed, and their heads lowered a little deeper.
"What about the others?" Wei Laihu asked after a long silence that seemed like years to the Qian siblings.
Qian Qian hurriedly raised his head and responded: "We have all arrived in Ningxiao City, and Qian Yue and I are the last ones." β
"Are you all settled?" Wei Lai asked again.
"Hmm. Uncle Xue settled them in various inns, and we were too...... But Uncle Xue had just left on his front foot, and the ...... "Qian Qian responded to Wei Lai's question, but when he talked about everything that had just happened, a wave of shame came to his heart, and his voice suddenly became much quieter.
Qian Yue, who was on the side, saw his sister's appearance, and walked quickly to Wei Lai's side, pulled the corner of Wei Lai's clothes, shook and said crisply: "Brother Alai, don't be angry." β
Qian Yue was born with red lips and white teeth, and there was a little baby fat on his cheeks that had not faded, and his appearance was really cute, Wei Lai's face was full of anger that almost collapsed under Qian Yue's milky pleading at that time, but fortunately, he still managed to maintain the look on his face in the end, and said solemnly: "It seems that you don't plan to eat anymore, then let's go, go and pick a room, and you will live here in the future." β
After saying that, Wei Lai turned around and walked out of the main house, and the Qian family sisters and brothers saw that Wei Lai was still angry, so they didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly followed Wei Lai with their heads drooping.
......
The inner courtyard of the Wei Mansion is a few points larger than the outer courtyard, and the various gardens and bonsai in the inner courtyard are several times more exquisite than the outer courtyard.
But the Qian family sisters and brothers no longer have the curiosity they had when they first entered the Wei Mansion, since Sun Daren left, their Alai brother's attitude has become cold, and along the way, he led the way in front with a straight face, without the slightest disposition to the Qian family sisters and brothers.
The two of them knew that they were in trouble, and they didn't dare to look for Wei Lai to say more, and their heads were almost parallel to the ground along the way, looking somewhat pitiful.
Suddenly, Wei Lai, who was walking in front, stopped, and the two of them hurriedly stopped as if they had been struck by lightning.
"Choose, only the room that is about to be cleaned up is empty right now. Wei Lai's voice also sounded immediately.
"It's all up to Brother Alai to arrange. Qian Qian lowered his head and whispered.
Wei Lai turned to look at the two sisters and brothers, the two little guys still had their heads down, and they didn't even dare to look up at Wei Lai.
"Do you want to do everything to me?" Wei Lai asked, his tone strange.
It's just that the two little guys, who have long been blinded by the shame that they have done something wrong, can they notice this abnormality, and they just nod their heads busily, hoping that this can change Wei Lai's opinion of them slightly.
Seeing this, Wei Lai smiled and said again: "Since this is the case, you should not participate in the Hanxing Conference in a month's time." β
"Huh?" When these words came out, Qian Qian's sister and brother hurriedly raised their heads and looked at Wei Lai with a stunned face, Qian Qian unconsciously raised his voice and asked, "Why!?"
"Is it because we got into trouble?" Qian Yue also asked in a low voice, but his mouth was a little aggrieved: "But we didn't provoke them at all, it was only because the inn room was full that my sister ...... with them."
"It's a dangerous thing. But before the little guy's words were finished, he was interrupted by Wei Lai, who saw Wei Lai at this moment looking at the pair of sisters and brothers in front of him with a serious face, and said: "To be honest, I didn't expect that you were all willing to take this risk for me, and I am very grateful to you." β
"But do you know why I let you come to Ningxiao City to participate in this plan?"
The two siblings glanced at each other, and they both caught a glimpse of deep incomprehension and confusion in each other's eyes, and then the two shook their heads at Wei Lai with great honesty.
"As you yourselves said, you did not provoke them, but they did come to make things difficult for you. β
"There are too many unwarranted disasters in this world, we can't predict it, and we can't stop it from happening, and the only thing we can do is to make sure that we have enough strength to fight it before it befalls us......"
"And you came to Ningxiao City thousands of miles from Jinniu Town, in order to let yourself, and Jinniu Town, of course, Ningzhou, where we have lived for generations, have the strength to fight against the unwarranted disaster that has begun to appear. β
The two sisters and brothers seemed to understand whether they understood or not, and Qian Qian asked again in confusion: "Since Brother Alai wants us to do it, then let us do it!" Qian Yue and I are willing to take this risk for Brother Alai, my father said, to be a man, you must know how to repay your kindness, without Brother Alai and me Qian Yue, and even the people of our entire Jinniu Town have already been drowned in Wupan City by the Dragon King, no matter how dangerous it is, we are not afraid!"
Qian Qian's attitude was resolute, making it difficult to doubt her determination when she said this.
But Wei Lai didn't feel the slightest joy because of this, he shook his head silently, and then said: "I saved you because I can save you, so I can't bear to see you die." It's not for you to repay your kindness and work for me. And letting you come to Ningxiao City and participate in the Hanxing Conference is of course helpful to me, but what you have to understand is that this is also helping yourselves, and only if you have enough strength can you protect yourself and those you want to protect. It's always the stupidest thing to put your hopes in someone else, whoever that person is!"
Wei Lai's words were still too profound for the Qian family sisters and brothers after all, and Qian Yue, who had never spoken on the side, couldn't help but ask in a crisp voice when he heard this: "Brother Alai can't do it too?"
This is especially true for the people of Jinniu Town today, especially Qian Qian and other children who have received Wei Lai's favor and have cultivated in the past that they could not even think of by relying on the dragon seed given by Wei Lai, in their hearts Wei Lai is almost like a god-like existence, and it is natural that they have given Wei Lai the greatest trust, so when Wei Lai made that request, the eighty children in Jinniu Town agreed to the request almost without thinking about it.
"No!" But then Wei Lai's resolute response shattered some illusions in the hearts of the two siblings.
"I can't stay with you forever, I will die, or I will leave Ningzhou, at that time, what can you rely on to protect yourself?" Wei Lai's question was still too profound for the two little guys, and the two looked at each other and were silent again.
But after all, Qian Qian was a little older than Qian Yue, and after such a not short silence, he still mustered up the courage to look at Wei Lai and asked: "Since Brother Alai wants us to learn to protect ourselves, then we should be allowed to participate in the Hanxing Conference, otherwise who can Qian Yue and I rely on in the future?"
Wei glanced at the girl with a little red cheeks, and could see that it was courageous to say these words to argue with Wei Lai, for a girl who was only twelve years old, it was not easy, Wei Lai had some appreciation in his heart, but on the surface he still had a stern look: "Because you don't know how to protect yourself, then you can't talk about how to protect others in the future, and I can't let you leave Ningzhou, it's no different from letting you go to death." β
"Brother Alai...... Let's ......" Qian Qian subconsciously wanted to argue something when he heard this, but this time he was still interrupted by Wei Lai.
"You don't even know what the secrets you carry mean to ordinary people, there are ancient sayings that people are not guilty of their crimes, if you don't even have the idea of protecting yourself, even if you go to any other sect, I can't guarantee that anyone will do something a hundred times more terrible to you than what happened to you today in order to spy on your secrets! At that time, the sky was high and the earth was far away, and I couldn't do anything to save ...... even if I had the heart to save you."
When Qian Qian heard this, she also understood that Wei Lai really didn't plan to let them participate in the Hanxing Conference, her expression became a little lonely, so she lowered her head at that time: "I know Brother Alai, it's all my fault for being careless, Uncle Xue has already taught us the method of covering up the qi, but Qian Yue and I both think that it is too troublesome to run this method all the time, and we also have a little luck thinking about it, so we ......."
"But sometimes, a little fluke, in exchange for regret, may be beyond remorse. Wei Lai said in a deep voice.
When Qian Qian heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Wei Lai: "I know that Brother Alai said that these are all for me and Qian Yue, Brother Alai can rest assured, Qian Yue and I will definitely learn a lesson, please Brother Alai give us another chance, we want to contribute to Wupan City and Ningzhou, and we also want to help Brother Alai fight against that Jiang God, that is not only brother, your father-killing enemy, but also our enemy!"
Qian Qian's words were sincere, and Wei Lai couldn't help but be a little moved, but in order to make the memory of the two little guys who were almost in trouble increase, Wei Lai still tightened the serious look on his face, and continued: "Hmph, rest first, and talk about other things tomorrow." β
Although the two of them were young, they were still quite smart, so they could naturally hear that Wei Lai's tone was not as tough as before, and the two of them immediately nodded again and again, lest Wei Lai regret it, and after saying goodbye to Wei Lai, they quickly returned to the room that Wei Lai arranged for them.
Wei Lai, who caught a glimpse of this scene, shook his head helplessly, and then turned around with a wry smile and wanted to leave.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw a figure in a wheelchair smiling at the end of the corridor not far away.
......
"I heard that your two fellow villagers made that they made that they made that the Yuluo Mountain and Jinghua Immortal Mansion of the Hundred Deer Country wanted to take them under their command, so they made that noise, right?" Xu, who was pushed by Wei Lai, asked softly.
"Well, it seems so. Wei Lai's answer was a little flickering, as if he wanted to hide something.
Of course, Xu could hear the strangeness in Wei Lai's tone, but she didn't break it, but continued to speak to herself: "I just saw it, one is twelve years old, and the other is ten years old, and he has the cultivation of the two realms, and looking at his qi, the number of divine blood condensed in his body when he pushes open the first realm divine gate is definitely not less than nine, and the qi that blooms on the spiritual platform at this moment is not less than Ziyan. Such a genius, don't say that it is Yuluo Mountain and Jinghua Immortal Mansion, even if it is more than enough to enter the gate of my Guiyuan Palace, I can't imagine that there are so many geniuses and demons in the small Wupan City, and it is said that the outstanding people and spirits have wronged Wupan City. β
Xu's words are not false, imagine that there are only 3,000 households in Wupan City, putting aside the freak of Wei Lai, first of all, there is Zhao Tianyan and Zhao Tianyan, who are listed as the top ten divine sects in the north along with Guiyuan Palace. Say Twilight 9?? It is normal for Hurricane H to sigh like this.
But when Wei Lai, who heard this, his face changed, he scratched the back of his head, and replied with a stiff expression on his face: "Is it? I didn't know that there was such a thing in Wupan City......
"Hmph. But after hearing Wei Lai's words, Xu snorted coldly, and glared back at the young man with some annoyance. Immediately, without waiting for the young man to come back to his senses, she said again: " As early as more than three months ago, there was a group of guys who had never been on the Han Star List before and entered the top 1,000 of the Han Star List in one fell swoop, and the good deeds in Ningxiao City also secretly speculated about whether the guys were the descendants of a certain hidden family in Ningzhou, but because those guys were in the top 1,000, they were relatively low, so they did not bring much attention, and these days there are many major events in Ning Xiao City, so the attention to this matter has become less and less, and just about half a month ago, those guys who had been in the top 1,000 together before suddenly disappeared from the Han Star Listγ Counting the first 10,000 people, I can't find their names, Ah Lai, do you know what's going on?"
"Huh? this ...... How do I know this?" Wei Lai's heart tightened and he subconsciously responded.
But at this time, the corner of the girl's mouth who looked at him suddenly hooked up a smile......: "Is it?
"How do I remember that among those guys, there are two names, Qian Qian and Qian Yue?"
