Volume 3: The Storm Rises Chapter 524: Huo Ying's reluctant request
Since Lu Yao and Huo Tingting met, there was always an ominous premonition, he always felt that he was being secretly watched, but no matter what means he used to investigate this pair of eyes hidden in the dark, he always found nothing.
The night at the Xiyuan Hotel was incomparably long, and there was a feeling of torment, whether it was cultivation or wanting to sit quietly for a while, the mood was always not calm, so I simply stood in front of the window and looked into the distance.
At this moment, Lu Yao thought of Lin Jiayi, who was far away in a foreign country, and remembered the pair of eyes full of emotions that Lu Yao couldn't read, in that look, Lu Yao seemed to see a lonely woman, standing alone in a barren wilderness, screaming hysterically, but no one could hear her voice.
Lu Yao was only a stone's throw away from her, and he wanted to take a step forward to help her, but when he tried to cross this close distance, he found that he and Lin Jiayi seemed to be separated by an insurmountable moat, running desperately, but the distance between the two would never get closer with the passage of time.
The more I wanted to get closer, but I found that it was getting farther and farther away, but I had to be patient and look at each other quietly, so that I could clearly see the outline of the other party's facial features.
In the helplessness, Lu Yao felt that his head was heavy, and gradually fell asleep unconsciously.
……
……
The sun showed a little smile, the earth was warm, Lu Yao woke up from a deep sleep, this night, it felt very strange, Lu Yao didn't know what he had experienced, and he couldn't remember those things in his sleep, but Lin Jiayi's name kept flashing in his mind.
"It seems that this Huo Tingting is indeed not simple, and her methods have even affected my dreams." Lu Yao felt that his strange experience this night should be related to the spiritual attack that Huo Tingting used on him during the day, and said to himself, but at present, it seems that Huo Tingting has no hostility towards herself for the time being, otherwise with her original carelessness, it is likely that she will not be so easy to resolve these now.
After thinking about it, Lu Yao felt that he had to follow what Huo Tingting said, and go to the Yimeng to get the Blood Cry Tree for her, otherwise he would never know what the truth of the matter looked like.
Lu Yao had already agreed to Huo Ying's request to refine the Blood Cry Tree into an elixir, half of one person, and now it is not abrupt to go to the Yimeng, wash up, eat breakfast, and drive to the Yimeng.
Maybe it's because the auction of this medicinal material of Yimeng will only be held once in a while, this time when Lu Yao came, Yimeng seemed much more deserted than before, even the security guards and staff were much less, Lu Yao told the security guard at the door that he was coming, and the other party did not embarrass Lu Yao, but just repeatedly confirmed Lu Yao's identity and let him in.
……
"Uncle Ying, I'm really sorry to disturb you so soon." Lu Yao sat on the sofa opposite Huo Ying and said embarrassedly.
"Where is Mr. Lu, you can come to me so soon, I'm too late to be happy, how can it be bothered." Huo Ying couldn't close his mouth happily since Lu Yao entered his office, and the two exchanged a few words, Huo Ying once again But Lu Yao came to the secret room where the Blood Cry Tree was located.
"Master Lu, I'll hand over the Blood Cry Tree to you." Huo Ying picked up the blood cry tree, handed it to Lu Yao, and said, "It's just that there is a small matter that I want to trouble Lu Gongzi once, but I don't know if Lu Gongzi is inconvenient?" ”
"Uncle Ying has something to do, but it doesn't matter, as long as I can help, it is my duty." Lu Yao glanced at the Blood Cry Tree, immediately looked away, and said to Huo Ying.
“……”
"Entrusted by Uncle Ying, Lu Yao spared no effort, but this matter is very important, whether it can be done I don't dare to pack the ticket for the time being, if it is done, it is the best, if it is not done, forget Uncle Ying Haihan." Lu Yao listened to what Huo Ying said, and he was also a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly.
"Lu Gongzi is really polite, with your appearance and ability, no one in the young generation can stand out, and everyone will like a young man like you." Huo Ying watched as Lu Yao put the Blood Cry Tree into the Golden Ring Space, and the two left the secret room together.
……
After Lu Yao and Huo Ying said goodbye, he did not leave the Yimeng immediately, but walked through the long passage alone and walked to the exit of another internal personnel of the Yimeng, and when he appeared there, a familiar figure had already stood there for a long time.
The other party is a woman, a floral pleated skirt, white high-waisted canvas shoes, a white long-sleeved shirt with a pale yellow sweater, her hair is naturally draped over her shoulders, and under the breeze, the whole person has an indescribable fairy temperament, just like the flower fairy in a fairy tale.
The woman stood there and looked into the distance, looking a little impatient, when Lu Yao was about to walk into her, she realized that when she saw Lu Yao, she was still smiling at first, but when he saw a small blue flower pinned to Lu Yao's chest, he was very surprised, and subconsciously said: "Lu Gongzi, how can it be you?" ”
"Miss Ouyang, I'm not a flood beast, don't be so nervous!" Lu Yao was a little surprised when he saw that Ouyang Ling was waiting for him, and he was a little embarrassed, and said jokingly, wanting to resolve this embarrassing situation.
"Lu Gongzi is really joking, Uncle Ying asked you for help, right?" Ouyang Lingjiao laughed, and said embarrassedly at Lu Yao: "I told Uncle Ying, I have no interest in the family's struggle for power, I just want to keep the place of Yimeng, this time to participate in the family party is also a form of walking, don't be so serious, but he doesn't listen, he has to bring some boyfriend to attend." ”
"Uncle Ying is from the past, and he sees some things more clearly than us young people, if Miss Ouyang thinks that I can barely take on this heavy responsibility, it is better to set off now." Lu Yao looked very natural, walked to Ouyang Ling's side, looked at the other party and said.
"Hmm!" Ouyang Ling actually understood in her heart what this family gathering meant to her, since Lu Yao was willing to help, it was no better, and it was no longer hypocritical, and the two walked side by side towards an RV not far away.
Ouyang Ling was born in a big family, the Ouyang family is also a leading wealthy family in the neighboring province of Tongling Province, growing up in such an environment since childhood, she naturally has a temperament that is different from that of ordinary girls, if she is compared with Huang Ruoyun and Lin Jiayi, Lu Yao feels that she has a mature temperament that does not match her actual age, and belongs to the temperament of a strong woman.
Lu Yao and Ouyang Ling sat in the back of the RV, driving a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a black suit and wearing a pair of sunglasses, looking very capable, but his ability did not seem to be the case in Lu Yao's eyes, since Lu Yao got in the car, the young man's afterglow has never left Lu Yao.
"Miss Ouyang, is this your full-time driver?" Lu Yao saw that Ouyang Ling had been looking out of the window since she got into the car, obviously a little unnatural, so he took the initiative to say.
"Do you mean Lu Bing?" Ouyang Ling pointed to the young man who was driving, and when she saw Lu Yao nodding, she explained: "Lu Bing is the bodyguard and driver that my eldest brother recruited for me, and he has been by my side for more than three years, so it is not so much that he is my full-time driver, but that he is my good friend." ”
Ouyang Ling felt that there was nothing to hide about these things, and while introducing Lu Bing to Lu Yao, she smiled at Lu Bing, but Lu Bing didn't turn around and say anything because he was driving, but just conveyed his knowing smile to the two people who were talking about him through the irradiation of the rearview mirror.
"You treat your friends very well, I think the watch on Brother Lu's wrist is worth a lot of money, it is estimated that it will cost at least fifty or sixty thousand, you gave it away, right?" Lu Yao continued to say with a smile.
"Lu Gongzi said with a smile, how can I wear a watch of fifty or sixty thousand yuan, this is just a high-quality imitation that the eldest prince gave me when he was traveling abroad last time, and it is worthless." As soon as Lu Bing heard Lu Yao talk to Ouyang Ling about his watch, he interjected.
"If Brother Lu thinks so, then I'm going to say a few words to you then." Lu Yao smiled bitterly and said: "If I read this watch correctly, it should be the most popular satellite positioning watch in Europe, which is widely equipped with those mercenaries or personal bodyguards and the like, and people who don't have some connections really can't buy it!" ”
"Oh, yes, it's because I have always misunderstood the eldest prince, I didn't expect him to give me such a valuable gift, this time I saw the eldest prince, I want to return it to him quickly, I am a driving driver, how can I wear such a valuable watch!" Lu Bing was very surprised, and immediately said that he would return the watch to Ouyang Ling's eldest brother.
"Don't, Brother Lu, it seems inappropriate for you to send back the gifts that people gave you. Besides, I think this watch is really a good match for you, and wearing it on your hand can be regarded as the best use of things. Lu Yao said with a smile.
"Brother Lu, show me your watch!" Ouyang Ling's face changed at this time, and she stretched out her jade hand towards Lu Bing and said.
"Miss underestimates, when you get to the place and stop the car, I'll pick it up for you, forget it now, I'm still driving." Lu Bing said euphemistically.
"Stop!" Ouyang Ling ignored Lu Bing's excuse and said coldly.
"Miss, it's dangerous to park on the highway, if you like it, when you get to the door, I'll take it off." Lu Bing only slowed down the car, but did not stop according to Ouyang Ling's order, and the car continued to move forward.
"I told you to stop!" Ouyang Ling was a little angry, took out a delicate pistol from the handbag on the side, put it on the back of Lu Bing's head, and scolded.
