Chapter 9: Winning Again

Xiao Xuemei looked at her brother's room worriedly, Xiao Yuqian had locked himself in the room for a whole day, and he hadn't seen him today except for dinner.

When she woke up yesterday, her brother only told her that she was hanging out with her friends, and when she got drunk, she took her back.

But why didn't she even have the slightest impression?

At this time, Xiao Yuqian was meditating in the room, and went through all the tricks he could think of with his current magic tricks.

The Lin family's threat yesterday did not frighten him, but aroused his fighting spirit even more. Aren't you afraid of a fiasco at the annual meeting? I want to make your fears come true today!

There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Xuemei subconsciously went to open the door, but saw a man she had never seen before. The man smiled politely at her,

"Hello, my name is Mu Pengfu, I am Xiao Yuqian's friend, is he at home now?"

Xiao Xuemei nodded, walked over and buckled Xiao Yuqian's door,

"Brother, a person named Mu Pengfu came to you and said that something was wrong. ”

Xiao Xuemei thought that Xiao Yuqian would say "wait a while", but to his surprise, the door was opened immediately, and Xiao Yuqian walked out.

"Brother Pengfu, go so early!"

Mu Pengfu nodded,

"Because it's so important to our family, even if it's an evening event, we still want to be able to go in the afternoon and prepare in advance. ”

Xiao Yuqian didn't ask any more, and directly followed Mu Pengfu out of the door.

"Sister, I'm going to their annual meeting tonight, so I won't come back for dinner!"

Xiao Xuemei watched Xiao Yuqian get into a Porsche Cayenne by the window, and wondered in her heart: what made her brother suddenly change so much, and how many secrets did her brother have?

Xiao Yuqian looked at Mu Pengfu driving the car beside him, and finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart,

"I'm afraid it's not the annual meeting this time, otherwise your two families will go to great lengths for a magician like me? If you want me to do my best, you should at least let me know the importance of acting. ”

Mu Pengfu continued to control the steering wheel, and only spoke after a while,

"Ever heard of the Bloodstone?"

"Huh, what the hell?" Xiao Yuqian hadn't heard of that term at all, but fortunately the card spirit reminded him.

"The Blood Stone is a gemstone, translucent, and generally glowing with blood, so it is called the Blood Stone. Grinding it into powder is the so-called panacea, which cures all diseases. It's so rare that it's normal that you haven't heard of it. ”

Xiao Yuqian was taken aback by listening to the words of the card spirit, there is really a panacea in the world, and since he fused the card spirit, he was really refreshed once a day. But he still pretended to be aware of his chest and replied with no surprise,

"It's the miracle medicine that cures all diseases?"

This time it was Mu Pengfu's turn to be surprised:

"You know this thing?"

Xiao Yuqian showed a look of "I know everything",

"Of course, isn't it the kind of blood-colored gem, the kind that can be cured by grinding it into powder. ”

Mu Pengfu nodded,

"This time, the pillar of our Mu family, my grandfather, had a serious illness, and I am afraid that if he is not cured, he will die soon. Don't look at the strength of our Mu family, once the pillars collapse and there is no suitable candidate, our Mu family will be immediately divided up by the Lin family and their fox friends and dogs. ”

"So, if this magic trick succeeds, you can get a Blood Stone?"

Xiao Yuqian guessed from his words.

"That's right, Mr. Gu has been quite fond of watching magic tricks recently, so the entertainment theme of this annual meeting is magic. He also said that whoever could perform the best magic tricks in the major families would receive the Blood Stone from his collection. After hearing this, the Lin family immediately sent someone to buy off almost all the magicians in Huangshui City not to help us, whether they were professional or amateur. Just to stop us from getting the Bloodstone to save my grandfather. ”

Xiao Yuqian smiled secretly in his heart, if the Lin family wanted to buy off the magician in Huangshui City, how could Lin Feiwen not know his strength? I'm afraid that it was because the two had been feuding for a long time, Lin Feiwen was unwilling to see that he took all his family's money for nothing, so he didn't tell Old Man Lin that Xiao Yuqian could also do magic, but he didn't expect to be exploited by the Mu family.

"I heard that your strength can surpass Lin Feiwen's, so my father asked me to hire you at any cost. ”

Mu Pengfu continued,

"So please win that blood stone no matter what, then you are the great benefactor of our Mu family, and we will try our best to repay you. ”

Xiao Yuqian smiled,

"What, you can't trust me, don't worry, what I Xiao Yuqian promised, I will never regret it, I didn't promise any request from Old Man Lin last night!"

A relaxed smile appeared on Mu Pengfu's slightly worried face, and then he concentrated on driving, and did not speak again along the way.

When he arrived at the so-called "venue", Xiao Yuqian couldn't help but sigh in his heart,

"I'll go! Where is this venue, this is obviously an auditorium or a theater! Seeing that this Gu family has quite a lot of financial resources, they can charter such a luxurious place for any meeting. ”

"Wanhan, the guest has arrived, why don't you hurry up and bring the things!"

When Xiao Yuqian was still looking around, Mu Pengfu had already begun to arrange matters.

Come on, what do you want to bring?

Xiao Yuqian thought to himself.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

A girl in a white evening dress ran over when she heard the sound, holding a box in her hand, and saw Mu Pengfu is girl pouting at him,

"Brother, are you really, really using me as a maid? Is this what you told me about Brother Xiao Yuqian? I didn't expect you to invite a handsome guy!"

Mu Pengfu smiled embarrassedly at Xiao Yuqian,

"This is the housemate. ”

Then Mu Pengfu took the box and handed it to Xiao Yuqian, Xiao Yuqian thought it was something, but after opening it, it was a white suit.

"Each particular dress color represents a family, and our Mu's is white. Although you are not our Mu family, you are the magician we invited, and we still have to count on you, so we have a tailor-made set for you. It cost more than 50,000 yuan, you're welcome, put it on. ”

"How much?!"

Xiao Yuqian's hand shook and he almost threw the box to the ground, the clothes he wore as a performing magician were worth more than 50,000 yuan, how expensive were the people of the Mu family? After thinking twice, Xiao Yuqian still looked very shabby and asked,

"What if...... I've got my clothes dirty, and you're not going to make me pay for them, are you?"

Mu Wanhan was amused by Xiao Yuqian,

"Big handsome guy, you owe money and are afraid, you can help our Mu family so much this time, and this suit is specially customized for you, it is not suitable for anyone else to wear except you, of course it is going to be given to you." What does it have to do with us for you to get your clothes dirty. Hurry up and put it on!"

Without waiting for the poor ghost Xiao Yuqian to answer, Mu Wanhan directly pushed him into the dressing room of the auditorium.

Xiao Yuqian, who had changed his clothes, seemed to be a different person from head to toe, how could the stall goods he was wearing just now compare to this suit? At this time, the white suit set off Xiao Yuqian's temperament more perfectly.

After everyone was seated, the old man of the Gu family came to the stage and gave a short speech, and then he couldn't wait to announce that the magicians of each family began to perform.

At this time, Xiao Yuqian's mobile phone received a transfer reminder, the amount of four million, and a message was attached:

"This is the last chance for your Lin family, take the money, and everything will be over after losing to me, you'd better cooperate!"

The signature is none other than Lin Feiwen.

Xiao Yuqian sneered, moved his fingers, transferred back four million and one yuan to Lin Feiwen, and also sent a message:

"The master is not short of that money, and the master is rewarding you!"

It happened that it was the turn of the magicians of the major families to come to the stage, Xiao Yuqian showed a "gentle" smile to Lin Feiwen, and then ignored Lin Feiwen's murderous eyes and walked on stage.

Old Man Gu looked at the magician on the stage with expectant eyes,

"Now, then, the magicians will give him a wonderful show! I'm going to see who can have the last laugh in this contest!"

The first to appear were the magicians of the Ouyang family and the Gu family. These two magicians probably received the benefits of the Lin family, and they didn't even want their faces.

The Ouyang family's magician props made a mistake and the magic was directly exposed, while the Gu family's magician performed a super pediatric magic trick, which was used to coax children and made sense. The two heads of the family both had a sinking face, obviously having some trouble getting over their faces.

The next one is Lin Feiwen, Xiao Yuqian secretly mocked in his heart, what are you going to perform this time? Or is it a water balloon levitation?

Lin Feiwen bowed to everyone, and as he bowed, the lights dimmed. This time he didn't talk any more nonsense, and stepped directly on the air in front of him, but he didn't expect the air to drag his feet directly like a solid one, making a sound of footsteps.

As Lin Feiwen lifted his legs again and again, he walked higher and higher as if he were climbing stairs, and even waved his hand above his head, signaling to everyone that there was nothing hanging above his head. The audience who had watched the two failed performances was naturally excited, praising again and again, and even Old Man Gu showed a comfortable smile, it seemed that everyone was immersed in this magic......

Except for Xiao Yuqian.

At this time, Xiao Yuqian looked at Lin Feiwen like a clown jumping off a beam, the reason was very simple, he was too familiar with the principle of this magic trick - although Lin Feiwen seemed to wave his hands casually, he actually deliberately avoided the hidden line hanging from his head, and the light that was deliberately dimmed was also to hide the hidden line.

Although it seems too mean to expose him in public at the annual meeting, the person who performs this kind of magic should still prepare that thing for insurance.

Just as Lin Feiwen triumphantly walked around in the air, several poker cards silently flew above his head.

When everyone watched Lin Feiwen suddenly fall from the sky at a loss, they all thought that a young magician was going to die young. Suddenly, there was the sound of the steel wire being urgently pulled up, and Lin Feiwen suddenly floated in the air out of thin air again.

The steel wire rattled and everyone could hear it clearlyβ€”and sure enough, as Xiao Yuqian expected, Lin Feiwen also prepared a spare safety cable and put it in his coat.

Lin Feiwen's face was embarrassed, he could only use the safety cable as a last resort, otherwise this little life would be gone, but there was no doubt that the magic trick was a goof.

"Xiao Yuqian, you ......"

Lin Feiwen glared at Xiao Yuqian viciously, but who could believe that Xiao Yuqian could use a playing card to break through the tightrope in the sky? Everything was flawless, and Xiao Yuqian was covered up seamlessly, as if it was really just a performance accident.

The audience let out a sigh of loss and talked about it.

"It seems that if you want to see good magic, you can only count on the magician of the Mu family. ”

"However, I heard that the Mu family did not invite any famous magicians, and there is not much hope. ”

Xiao Yuqian stepped onto the stage with a sigh and didn't say anything, just made an inviting gesture to Lin Feiwen, who had just landed.

Lin Feiwen was trying to find Xiao Yuqian's loopholes, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to send it to the door, as long as he didn't cooperate with Xiao Yuqian everywhere, this magic trick had absolutely no chance of success.

Thinking of this, Lin Feiwen came to the stage again, Xiao Yuqian handed him a knife, a genuine knife, and then covered himself with a red cloth.

"Three seconds later, stab me with a knife. ”

The people in the audience were all interested, and they escaped the magic? But there was nothing here that could block the view, and the red cloth on the stage could be seen clearly when he moved, where could he escape?

"Three. ”

To everyone's surprise, Lin Feiwen just counted three and stabbed into the red cloth, still stabbing in the heart. This knife will definitely kill someone. And Lin Feiwen also showed a panicked expression,

"I'm sorry, Iβ€”My hands are shaking"

Someone in the audience sneered disdainfully, and their hands were shaking? Can the hand tremble so just right? It was obvious that Lin Feiwen was going to take his life, but because Lin Feiwen was from the Lin family, and the magician was not from the Mu family, they couldn't say anything, but Mu Pengfu's nervous hands were sweating.

"Guys, what are you worried about?"

Xiao Yuqian's voice came from behind, and when they heard this voice, everyone didn't care about what kind of body they were, and they all looked back in the direction where the voice came from. The person standing directly behind the venue was Xiao Yuqian, and there was no knife wound on his body.

The venue was silent for a second, and then there was a long-lasting applause, and Mu Wanhan's little girl screamed excitedly.

In less than a second, he came to the rear unnoticed under everyone's noses, I am afraid that the famous magicians present could not do it, but let Xiao Yuqian do it, how could this not cause a sensation?

Lin Feiwen's face was even more annoyed and angry, but he was not harmed, but was once again teased by Xiao Yuqian, and Xiao Yuqian, who made himself look stupid, was even better, and he would definitely become a big laughing stock in the future.

Old Man Gu happily ignored his age, and ran directly to Xiao Yuqian without announcing the result, and stuffed a blood-colored gem into his hand.

"The Bloodstone, it's yours!"

None of the people present objected, and no one dared to object, who could do something like Xiao Yuqian's teleportation?

Xiao Yuqian looked at Mu Pengfu proudly, just to find that Mu Pengfu was also looking at him. Mu Pengfu gratefully made a lip shape:

"Thank you!"

After the performance stage, Xiao Yuqian directly found Mu Pengfu and stuffed the gem to him.

"Well, here's what you want. ”

Mu Pengfu, a person with few facial expressions, was incoherent at the moment,

"That...... Thank you, I really don't know how to thank you, if you have any difficulties, just tell us, we will definitely help. ”

"There are no difficulties yet, and if I do, I will tell you. But can you tell me about the thing you promised to tell me about my parents?"

Mu Pengfu was stunned for a moment, he thought that Xiao Yuqian would ask him after the annual meeting. Now that he's asked, just tell him.

"Follow me. ”

Mu Pengfu beckoned and led him in the direction of the head of the Mu family.
