The unexpected recognition of the Xiler mother and daughter and Master Gongzhuang is indeed a happy event, and people feel refreshed when happy events occur. The fat man felt hungry as soon as he felt refreshed, so he quickly ordered the maid outside the door to prepare a meal.
Not long after, a sumptuous meal was placed in the center of the garden outside the side hall.
Master Gongzhuang used it briefly and then stopped and focused his attention on the fat man.
Watching the fat man's eating movements, Master Gongzhuang remembered that in the square just now, this boy's skill was as amazing as a string of flowers when he disarmed Baz and others.
The fat man had finished the "basing" work and his movements slowed down a bit. He elegantly cut a roasted chicken leg and said to Master Gongzhuang: "Old Xian! How are you going to deal with that dead face?"
The master looked at the fat man in front of him helplessly. Not long after they met, his name changed countless times in this guy's mouth, and now he became "Old Sage" again!
"How do I know! What does this have to do with me? What does it have to do with you?" The master said angrily to the fat man.
"This old guy took the wrong medicine?! The debt he just stood by and watched hasn't been settled yet, and now he's doing this to the fat man again!" Ever since he learned about the relationship between the master and Silaire, he has been grudged about the master's failure to take action in time. Yu Huai.
The fat man was angry in his heart, but his face remained calm. He pulled the shaved chicken leg bones aside, put a large piece of steak in front of his eyes, snorted coldly and said: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Is that true?! Why is it different when I get to you?"
Seeing that the master still looked indifferent after listening to his words, Fatty didn't care either. He knew that he shouldn't be anxious when playing tricks with such people. He cut the steak into small pieces, dipped it in the seasonings, paired it with the chicken legs, and stuffed them into his mouth piece by piece at a speed that seemed slow but actually extremely fast.
In his heart, the master really likes to see fat people eating. He eats gracefully, skillfully, fast, and eats a lot. Not only can it stimulate the appetite of the surrounding diners, it can also be regarded as a unique skill in interpreting what flowing water means. Especially watching the fat man eating with ulterior motives is even more pleasing to the eye.
He glanced at Silaire, who was holding a small piece of bread, dipping it in the soup and chewing slowly, silently. The fat man stopped talking and felt a little contempt in his heart, "I only know how to eat. The dinner is all about talking about work. Do you think everything will be fine if you rely on a big tree? But the big tree hasn't promised you anything yet?" You don’t care about your own affairs, yet you still have to worry about me! What’s all this?!”
He had a sad expression on his face that was used to seeing people's unfaithfulness, and he continued to say to Master Gongzhuang leisurely: "You are right! What does this have to do with me? I don't know his grandfather, and I didn't confiscate his family. The spiritual pearl. It’s just a matter of eating carrots and not worrying!”
A smile appeared on the corner of the master's lips and he said slowly: "The method of stimulating generals doesn't work, so try another one."
Seeing the old guy's lack of food and salt, the fat man secretly hated himself, but a smile appeared on his face. He squinted his eyes and said, "Don't you think this is a conspiracy? More than two thousand people disappeared in one night! Isn't that weird enough? Seeing as you are so interested in my gadgets and other little crafts, you must like to study some unusual things?! Are you not in the mood to study this carefully? "
Seeing that the master's expression showed a hint of concentration, the fat man hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and continued: "What's more, aren't you a great elder? It's your duty to do this!"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the master's expression returned to its original state, and he said calmly: "It's not easy to ask for responsibility, especially for you. It's even harder to do it. Let's find another way."
While Zhuzhu was eating crazily, she listened curiously to the conversation between the two and found it very interesting.
Xi Laer was also listening attentively, and she could tell that Fatty was making plans for her, and wanted to make sure that Master Gongzhuang took action. She was grateful in her heart, but the master's attitude was ambiguous and he refused to express his attitude. This made her feel uncomfortable again and her head lowered.
The fat man saw this and secretly hated the old man for not being interesting enough, but he said with a smile on his face: "Actually, I also know that the power that can make a powerful family with royal blood disappear in one night is definitely not small, not just one or two." It can be shaken by an individual. Moreover, there are actually only a handful of groups with such strength, so it is not difficult to guess. I think Silaire should already have a general direction in her mind. Especially this time she recognized Wilson from his voice. That means this matter must have something to do with McCann!"
The fat man's words aroused the master's interest, and he asked, "Do you also know the Chahan family?"
"Look at what you said. I, the fat man, have been traveling all over the country all these years. Is there anything I don't know about? Aren't the Chahan family the royal family of the Ruhr Empire more than a hundred years ago? They were later overthrown by McCann and the Ruhr opposition. , I just don’t care about political affairs and live in seclusion in the mountains." The fat man said in a dragging voice.
"I didn't expect you to have some knowledge! So since you think this matter is related to McCann, you still want me to go into this muddy water? What are your intentions?" The master said, his eyes sharp.
The fat man ignored the master's eyes and said with a smile: "I'm not trying to persuade you, I'm just discussing the matter! Oh! That's right! Silaire, you said this master is the great elder, where is he? The Great Elder? Why are you always so slow in speaking and doing things?! I’m not telling you, I’m afraid your grandfather is a bit too trustworthy!"
Of course, the fat man was telling lies with his eyes open. He deliberately made accusations in such a weird way and used the "provoking method".
"Didn't you, the master, see through the provoking method I was using? Well, I'm still going to use the provoking method to manipulate you. If the conspiracy fails, there is always a 10% chance." The fat man thought to himself.
Moreover, even after Fatty knew the identity of Master Gongzhuang, he still behaved in a reckless manner, which was actually done on purpose by him.
When there is an excessive disparity in identity and status, respect, flattery or even flattery, whether intentional or not, will not actually bring the two parties closer.
And if you do the opposite, you might get some unexpected gains.
Who doesn’t have curiosity?
Fatty is indeed a master at reading people's hearts!
Silaire did not answer the fat man's words, but just lowered his head.
The master stared hard at the fat man! But there was a sense of powerlessness in my heart. This fat man had a superb ability of sophistry and cunning. He looked careless, but in fact he was meticulous and calculating. Talking to him was really energy-consuming. If you didn't pay attention, you would be led into his rhythm.
After talking back and forth for a long time, it seemed that this guy had already thought through the matter.
The fat man proudly admired the master's expression, as if he had the pearls of wisdom in hand and was not afraid that you would not take the bait.
Sure enough, the master took out a waist badge made of purple crystal from his arms and threw it on the table, looking at the fat man silently.
The fat man suppressed the excitement in his heart, but his hands still trembled uncontrollably. He picked up the sign and looked at it carefully.
The brand is not big, but it is quite heavy to buy. It glows with purple light and looks mysterious and noble. A three-layered ring is carved in the middle, and the ring is evenly divided into ten parts, each part inlaid with gems of a different color.
White, green, blue, red, yellow, cyan, black, orange, pink, gray.
In the small circle in the center of the ring is engraved a golden word - League.
The fat man couldn't put it down and played with the token. For him, it was a legendary artifact. In the past, even taking a look at it from a distance was a luxury, let alone holding it in your hand.
Master Gongzhuang smiled faintly, with a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashing in his eyes.
He said calmly: "It seems that you already know my identity. Yes, I am the great elder of the Federation of Instructors. However, I'm afraid you don't know that I resigned half a year ago."
"Huh? Resign? How can I resign?" Fatty was completely fooled by the master's words and said in disbelief.
"Why not? As you said, I like to study weird things. Being a great elder has a lot of things to do all day long. It's very boring, so I quit. Although the General Assembly has not approved it yet, But it’s only a matter of time. This is the great elder’s badge. Seeing that you like it very much, I’ll leave it to you to play with for a few days! It may not be taken away one day!” What the master said is simply true. An old kid who is dissatisfied with reality.
The fat man was amused by the master's rogueness. He quickly put down the sign and said with a smile: "You'd better keep it for yourself. I can't afford such a heavy thing!"
The master admired the fat man's character of being able to take up things but also put them down, and asked with a smile: "Then what are your plans? Originally I thought you and Xixi were the same family, but now I know that there was nothing to do with me. Now that I have It is estimated that no one can touch the mother and daughter here anymore, so you might as well leave here, there will probably be many changes after this muddy water, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back!"
"Ah? You are trying to burn bridges! Can I just walk away? But 'Dead Man Ash' Wilson is not dead yet! He is outside. The two of you are safe by your side. I will go out now , I'm afraid I will be poisoned into a pile of ashes immediately!" The fat man suddenly became anxious. Although he felt that the old man was probably joking, was this something that could be joked about? !
Without waiting for the master to answer, the fat man said to Xi Laer in an exaggerated manner: "Xixi! You can't imitate this unemployed great elder and ignore my life and death! I have worked hard for you and the child. This will cause huge trouble! You can’t just give up!”
"What nonsense are you talking about! Just follow the master's instructions in everything!" Siler blushed because of the fat man's unscrupulous remarks, and her original heavy mood eased a lot. She raised her head and whispered, looking at the master's face. His eyes were full of expectation.
Seeing a smile on Silaire's face, the fat man felt a little better.
This scene was seen by the master, and his heart felt warm.
"Although this fat man has many faults, his heart is not bad!" He paused and then said to the fat man: "Since you are so afraid of death, you can just stay with me for the time being."
Without waiting for the fat man to retort, the master asked again: "I want to hear your opinion on this matter."
The fat man was too lazy to argue with the master anymore. After hearing this, he thought for a moment and said, "This is a complete conspiracy!"
The master's eyes flashed with admiration, he nodded and said, "Tell me about it!"
"It's easy to say, that Quinn's performance can explain everything. He is obviously taking orders from Wilson. In other words, Wilson should have known the identities of Xixi and Zhuzhu for a long time. I even doubt that the identity of Xixi's family five years ago The encounter was only possible because of Quinn's internal response, so it was handled so seamlessly." The fat man made a clear analysis.
Silaire thought of Quinn, and his expression became sad again.
She said softly: "Five years ago, I was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Yu'er and Father Quinn. The couple had taken care of me since I was a child, so they were naturally by my side. At that time, Father Quinn was the chief manager of the family. , normally when guests arrive, he should go out to greet them. But at that time, he said that my elemental sense had just awakened, and I needed a reliable person to guide me to avoid making mistakes, so he followed me into the secret room. Thinking about it this way, he should not The traitor, he was not at the scene when the incident happened!"
"That makes sense. However, there may be more than one group of traitors! Maybe they are divided into two groups, one group is outside to attack, and the other group is inside just in case?! You have to recall, who was the traitor at that time? What about those who should have stayed but didn't?" After listening to Silaire's words, the fat man made an inference.
Hearing this, Xi Laer subconsciously glanced at Zhuzhu, who was listening to the adults' conversation attentively, then shook his head and said no more.
The observant fat man noticed something strange about Silaire.
He suddenly remembered Zhuzhu's name, "Mingzhu Enqin Chahan". Silaire's real name is "Siler Engele Chahan".
That’s not right! According to the Ruhr people's naming custom, the first name should be their own name, the middle should be their parents' names, and the last should be the family name. So why are the middle names of Zhuzhu and Xiler different?
"Is Zhuzhu not Xi Laer's biological daughter? Who are Zhuzhu's parents? Are they the 'people who should have stayed but didn't'?" Thinking of this, the fat man felt that there must be a hidden secret, He and the master who also noticed something strange exchanged glances with each other and then changed the subject.
"These things can be discussed later. There are actually only two questions that need to be clarified now. One is that since Wilson has known about Xixi's situation for a long time, why has he kept it secret and did not take action until now? The second is that five years ago What is their purpose in attacking the Chahan family?" Fatty continued.
After hearing the fat man's analysis, Siler's face turned a little pale, and she pursed her lips as if she was making an important decision.
After a while, Siler took off the small backpack on his shoulder and put it on the table. He whispered: "There is a list of names in my backpack. They are the names of the Chahan family who still expressed their secret opinions to us after they abdicated." A list of supporting nobles and some political dignitaries. There is also a treasure map, which is said to be able to find the treasures accumulated by the royal families of our family. It is the last hope and means to revive the Chahan family. "
These words were groundbreaking, and the fat man immediately realized the value of Siler's little backpack. At the same time, I also felt the sincerity and trust of Xi Laer.
Power, money, has a price. What about trust? Is there a price?
The fat man took a breath and suppressed the fluctuations in his heart. Continued analysis: "So, Wilson's purpose must be this list and this picture. At least one of the purposes is this. The power and wealth of an empire are all in this little backpack of yours!" "
Looking at the fat man's unusually bright and clear eyes, the master secretly praised: "It's rare! This kid is a child with a clean heart!"
"Then why did he choose to take action now? Is there anything different now?" Fatty said to himself, and then his eyes lit up, and he continued: "Could it be that this matter has nothing to do with the international mediation team coming to Su Li What is the connection between your matter?"
Xi Laer and Zhu Zhu were confused and didn't know why. Master Gongzhuang's eyes showed something special, and he was shocked by the fat man's clear mind and broad vision.
"Fat man, you really have two tricks up your sleeve. These analyzes of yours are not unreasonable! Now that we have all been involved in the situation, I think more clues will emerge about these things in the next few days." After the master finished speaking, he pondered. After a moment, a smile flashed in his eyes, he sighed, and continued: "It's just that for you, there is still an imminent trouble!"
The fat man's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he felt an aura of conspiracy. He looked at the master with doubts.
"That's right, Queen Suriel will definitely invite us to attend the court meeting soon. Once the identities of Xixi and Zhuzhu are revealed, the matter between them and Wilson's group will be put aside for the time being as a misunderstanding. After all, both parties There are some secrets that are not good for outsiders to know!" When the master said this, he deliberately paused and waited until the fat man's appetite was whetted before continuing.
"But your identity is a bit embarrassing! As I said before, you are just an ordinary tourist who was inadvertently involved in this matter. But after all, you caused injuries to members of the Telji Federal Guard, and you were still in front of so many people on the street. I beat the captain in front of him. I am afraid this cannot be explained by a misunderstanding! Even if the crime does not lead to death, it is still very possible that you will be imprisoned for ten or eight years!" The master said with a smile on his lips and a regretful tone.
These words made the fat man very angry. After talking for a long time, didn't this come back again?
However, this is indeed an urgent problem that needs to be solved!
"I don't care! Anyway, I just said what I said! You have to help me find a way!" The fat man came up with his trump card, cheating, which is also the fat man's strength.
"Oh! My little friend! I really want to help you! But we are not relatives, so what can I do?" The master said sincerely, winking, and stopping the fat man who was about to plead for mercy. Silaire.
"Bah! You...!" The fat man was so angry that he was about to curse, but suddenly he felt that there was something in the bald old man's words.
Not relatives or friends? What does this mean?
Could it be that this old man wants to be related to me? But why? Just because he is not even an anesthetist? Is he the great elder of the Instructor Alliance? This is so different!
The fat man tried his best to magnify the approving glances the old man had just cast on him in his mind, and his heartbeat kept accelerating. Could it be that something he couldn't even imagine was about to come true?
For Fatty, who has set his life-long pursuit of becoming an annotator, from the first moment he met Master Gongzhuang, he never wanted to get close to or please this old man. He had too many things to ask about the Instructor, and too many legends about the Instructor that he wanted to know.
But as an ordinary fat man, he could only endure the impulse in his heart. He understood the words "rushing is not business".
Therefore, the poor and helpless fat man could only use his own way to show off his "unremarkable abilities" in his opinion, such as mechanics.
He can only show his cleverness by quarreling with the old man and using tricks.
He can only show his reasoning ability by analyzing things about Silaire.
Is this enough? The fat man had no confidence at all.
However, at this moment, he couldn't help it anymore. No matter whether the opponent threw an olive branch or a thorn, he would rush forward and get lucky.
Just do it! Fat people are never sloppy! He picked up a tea cup from the table, knelt down on one knee, brought the tea cup to the master, and shouted: "Godfather, please give me tea!"
This call of "godfather" made Silaire almost choke on the small mouthful of pancake he just swallowed. This fat man is simply too weird!
"Get out!" The master, who was full of expectations, shouted angrily, feeling like smoke was rising from his head!
"Oh? What's going on? Wrong name?" The fat man was also a little confused, but he was very capable of acting according to the situation. With a change of mind, he was blessed to the soul.
The fat man quickly poured the tea, poured another cup, and shouted respectfully: "Master! Please give me tea!"
The master finally breathed a sigh of relief, sighing secretly that he was really having a bad time, how could he have so many troubles even if he accepted a disciple!
Previously, Master Gongzhuang arrived at Sifang Street a little later than Wilson.
When he arrived, Silaire had been injured by the poisonous thread.
He originally wanted to rescue him, but found that Fatty seemed to be treating him in a special way, which made him pay attention to Fatty.
Soon, he recognized that the orange coat the fat man was wearing belonged to an old friend.
Out of curiosity, the master did not show up at that time, but was watching the show while preparing to help.
After that, the fat man not only cured Silaire's poisonous injury, but also almost killed Wilson by tricking him.
The master saw all this.
Not only was he surprised by the fat man's thinking and methods, but he was also very puzzled by his method of treating poison. At that time, the master had already developed a love for talents.
Until just now, the master not only appreciated Fatty's extraordinary mind, but also felt pleased with his philistine appearance but gentle and pure character on the inside.
Coupled with the special significance of the orange coat, the master has made up his mind to accept the fat man as his disciple.
However, as a world-renowned figure, how could the master take the initiative to propose the idea of accepting a disciple? Isn’t that a price drop?
What's more, he has already learned the fat man's rather naughty character, and thinks that he must let the other party get started so that he can teach him more easily in the future.
In this way, the master had the same pretentiousness as before.
"Hmph! You still have some wink! Well! That's fine! Since you took the initiative to plead, I will give you this face, reluctantly accept you!" The master said coldly, fearing that the fat man would go back on his word. He took the tea cup and took a sip.
"Let me make it clear first. My mother won't let me become a teacher casually. It's my mother's destiny to be wise. Now you can only be regarded as my quasi-master. If you meet my mother one day and she agrees, you will be regarded as my official master. "The master didn't take a sip of tea when he heard the fat man's strange words. He almost spit out all the tea. Not to mention the depression in his heart. With all his efforts, he got the title of "quasi-master" !
Unexpectedly, the fat man hadn't finished speaking yet, and he continued to say: "There's more! I have been weak since I was a child, so I can't help it. And I don't have any qualifications. I don't have the affinity to awaken elements. What if I practice with you? It’s only natural that I haven’t made any progress after a year and a half! Don’t yell and curse at me! Especially don’t spank me again!”
"Master Gongzhuang! Have you eaten? Your Majesty the First Assistant invites you!" The master was just about to smash the teacup on the head of this fat man who was ungrateful and full of bastard words when he heard Dempla's voice coming from far away.
"I got it! Wait a minute!" The master said in a deep voice, while trying to stabilize his emotions, thinking that now was not the time to argue with the fat man. Anyway, the days were still long, and there would always be a chance to teach this bastard a lesson.
"My real name is Gongzhuang Dexian, and I used to be the great elder of the General Association of Masters. I resigned from my position half a year ago and traveled around. I didn't want to meet you today. This is our fate. There are only ten of my direct disciples including you, how can you still There are four senior brothers and five senior sisters who we will meet in the future. Since I have accepted you today, I will definitely teach you with all my heart and help you achieve what you want. It will not be in vain for us as master and apprentice. You must also study hard and practice hard. Take care of yourself!" the master said seriously!
"Okay! Got it! I've written it all down!" Without waiting for the master's permission, the fat man had already stood up.
Then, the fat man said in a low voice with a sly look on his face: "Master! That major general called someone, it must be because of what happened before. In fact, in order to avoid the entanglement of words, we might as well run away! As long as you and Silaire are here, we can't No one can stop us!"
The master was so angry at the fat man's words that he felt a little dizzy. He suddenly felt that he might have made a huge mistake by accepting this disciple in vain.
"Pa!" The master slapped the fat man on the head and said viciously: "Now I will teach you the first lesson. Under my sect, there are only heroes who go out on their own merits, and there are no cowards who are greedy for life and fear of death and run away. !”
