"Master!" Huo Shuizhen said nonchalantly: "I just want to test his skills to see if he is really that powerful." ”

"Nonsense. Shao Haisheng made a straight face, "You are a guest, how can you do it to the host, you are still a girl, why don't you even have a little courtesy, and you don't apologize to Jiang Lai quickly." ”

Huo Shuizhen pouted, his face was full of unhappiness, especially when he looked at Jiang Lai's gaze, which was even more unhappy.

Seeing this, Jiang Lai couldn't help but smile and said: "Old man, I believe that Miss Huo has no malicious intentions, anyway, there is no loss, forget what happened just now, it is rare for a guest to come to the door, don't stand outside either, please come in!"

Hearing this, Huo Shuizhen nodded with satisfaction, and threw a 'count of acquaintances' at Jiang Lai, which made Jiang Lai a little speechless.

Entering the living room, Huo Shuizhen sat down with a big grin, and at Jiang Lai's signal, Hao Yun immediately served tea. At this moment, Shang Nishang walked out of the back room, saw a strange woman there, and was about to ask a question. However, before she could say anything, she saw Huo Shuizhen's eyes light up, and she hurriedly got up to meet Shang Nishang.

Jiang Lai was shocked, for fear that the other party would make another rude move, so he hurried to follow her footsteps.

However, what surprised him was that Huo Shuizhen was not rude, but behaved politely, and compared with just now, he was completely like the two of them.

"You are Miss Shang, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Huo Shuizhen, I heard grandpa say that you are here, so I came all the way to meet you. ”

In the face of Huo Shuizhen's enthusiasm, Shang Nishang was obviously a little stunned, not understanding what was going on. Out of politeness, she greeted the other party with a smile, and then set her eyes on Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai shrugged his shoulders and came straight to Shao Haisheng's side, "Old man, your apprentice ......"

"I'm really embarrassed, it's all because I'm usually too pampered. Shao Haisheng smiled helplessly, but although he said so, he didn't blame Huo Shuizhen's gaze, but more spoiled, "Jiang Lai, don't get me wrong, Shang Nishang and Hai Quicksand are the objects of worship of the girl, and the purpose of her coming this time is probably to see them with her own eyes." ”

"Worship?" Jiang Lai was stunned.

"In the words of my apprentice, today's Taoism is all the world of men, but Shang Nishang and Hai Liusha are outstanding representatives of women, and she also hopes to become like them one day. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lai immediately understood, it turned out that this woman was a supporter of feminist thought.

Seeing that Huo Shuizhen and Shang Nishang were chatting very warmly, Jiang Lai also relieved his heart. The visitor is a guest, and he is Shao Haisheng's apprentice, so he naturally wants to entertain him well.

"Sister Nishang, why did you take a fancy to Jianglai?" Huo Shuizhen asked curiously, "Although he is good, you are much better than him, a woman like you, there is no need to be attached to men, I think you should rely on your own ability to break out of the world, so that all men know that we women are not bad." ”

Shang Nishang didn't expect her to ask such a question, so she couldn't help but smile, "I'm not interested in such a thing as fighting for power, and besides, I am a traditional woman, and my husband and children are more suitable for me." ”

"Husband and godson?" Huo Shuizhen was stunned, "Sister Nishang, what age is this, your idea is too backward." ”

"Everyone has their own preferences. ”

"But......" Huo Shuizhen still wanted to say something, but Shang Nishang didn't seem to be very interested, and before she finished speaking, she had already stood up, "You sit down first, I still have something to do." ”

Looking at Shang Nisheng's departing back, Huo Shuizhen shook his head secretly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

When she was very young, because of her weak body, she was often bullied by boys on weekdays, and her parents not only ignored this, but wantonly abused her. She knew that her parents had always wanted a son, but they gave birth to her daughter. This kind of patriarchal treatment caused a great trauma to her young heart, and it was not until she met Shao Haisheng later that she had a new life.

Over the years, she has been working silently to prove to everyone that women are no worse than men. What men can do, women can do better.

Therefore, when she heard about the deeds of Shang Nishang and Hai Liusha, she became interested in these two people, hoping to make friends with them and create a great cause together. However, the chat with the monk Nishang just now made her very disappointed, a person who is content with the status quo and does not want to make progress is really not worthy of her worship. What made her even more angry was that Shang Nishang still retained the traditional idea of husband and son in her mind.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

During this period, Jiang Lai contacted Fu Yu'an, but unfortunately, there was still no harvest on Nuwa's side, and no one knew who Song Changxing was captured. Moreover, the deadline given above, within half a month, Song Changxing must be found, which put Fu Yu'an under great pressure.

Although Jiang Lai wanted to help, he was also powerless. What's more, he also has a lot of things to deal with now.

"Jiang Shao, the people from the Ma family are here, they want to talk to you. ”

"It's finally here. Jiang Lai smiled, "Please let them in." ”

Ma Yishen has been imprisoned for so long, as the head of the Ma family, it is impossible for the Ma family to abandon him.

After a while, a middle-aged man walked in under the leadership of Hao Yun. Jiang Lai had met the other party and knew that his name was Ma Chuan, and he was a god realm powerhouse.

"Mr. Ma, please be seated!"

After sitting down, Ma Chuan said indifferently: "Mr. Jiang, I think you should know my intention. ”

"Of course!" Jiang Lai said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, I don't think you're interested in listening to my nonsense, in that case, we might as well open the skylight and say something, the head of the Ma family broke into my manor and fought with me, should you give me an explanation?"

"I came today to negotiate on behalf of the Ma family, Mr. Jiang, if you have any requests, you can put them forward directly, and I will try my best to meet you. However, I must meet our head of the house and Ma Tiansheng first, and at least I must ensure their safety. ”

Jiang Lai nodded and glanced at Hao Yun on the side. The latter understood, and immediately called someone to bring Ma Yishen and his son out. However, after just a glance from a distance, the two of them were escorted down again.

"Mr. Ma, you have already seen the person, now it depends on how sincere your Ma family is ready to show. ”

Ma Chuan happily took out a list and handed it to Jiang Lai, "This is the inventory that our Ma family has collected for many years, Mr. Jiang might as well see if there is anything you are interested in it, in order to express my sincerity, our Ma family is willing to take out five collections in exchange for the freedom of their father and son." ”
