Seeing that Shen Qiao and Shen Yan really left with the young master, Brother Zhu whispered softly: "I have never heard them mention that there is such a charming elder in the family."
Brother Liang also said: "You are so young and so chic, you are by no means an ordinary person."
Brother Zhu said happily: "Yes, you think so too. When they come back later, we will have to do a good interrogation."
Brother Liang asked in a low voice: "Are you so interested in that gentleman?"
Brother Zhu hesitated and said: "I'm not very interested."
Brother Liang looked at him like this, his eyes were evasive and his face gradually turned red.
Shen Qiao and Shen Yan were unclear about what was going on behind them. Their attention was entirely on Gong Mengbi.
After not seeing each other for nearly four years, the two little ghosts have grown up a lot. Their childishness has gradually faded away, revealing the heroic appearance of young people.
Children grow very quickly, almost the same every year, but when they become adults, the changes are not that drastic.
Both Shen Qiao and Shen Yan showed extraordinary admiration towards Gong Mengbi.
The grace of saving their lives when they were young was one part, and the influence of Shen Shan was another part. Even in Qiantang, the two brothers often offered sacrifices to the Fox Fairy, not because they were asking for anything, but out of respect.
"Uncle Gong," Shen Qiao said excitedly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but my uncle is still as charming as ever."
Gong Mengbi asked: "How have you been these past years?"
Of course Gong Mengbi knew how the two brats were doing. But there is a natural difference between them saying it themselves and Gong Mengbi saying it.
Shen Qiao and Shen Yan each talked about their experiences in the past few years.
In the past few years, they have been studying at Wansong Academy. At first, they lived in a cousin's house, but they never felt comfortable living under someone else's roof. So in the name of studying, they rented a house on the bank of the West Lake under Wansong Academy, where they stayed there every day. Living here, I only stay with my cousins during holidays.
Gong Mengbi asked how their studies were going.
Shen Qiao and Shen Yan were not afraid of him asking, because when they got to the point where they were happy, they said, "Father often conveys your instructions to us to concentrate on our studies. Now we have read some books, and my husband also likes us very much."
Gong Mengbi felt very satisfied. Reading had enlightened his mind and increased his wisdom and intelligence. He could see that the two brats had put their heart into it.
From what Gong Mengbi saw in his eyes, the two sons of the Shen family were bursting with ideas, their momentum was like a rainbow, and their energy was strong. They were already quite impressive.
But the more things like this happened, the more Gong Mengbi understood that a catastrophe was coming.
Not only is the catastrophe for the second son of the Shen family imminent, but also for the entire world.
It's just that these words are difficult to express in words. Gong Mengbi can only encourage: "Be careful of arrogance and impetuosity. You still need to be careful. I heard that your cousins use martial arts to pass down the family. I wonder what martial arts you have learned?"
Shen Qiao and Shen Yan didn't know what Gong Mengbi meant, so they answered honestly: "We have always focused on studying. The old man wanted to teach martial arts, but we all rejected it."
Gong Mengbi said with deep meaning: "Study to cultivate your mind and martial arts to cultivate your body. If you have the opportunity, you can still learn it."
Although Shen Qiao and Shen Yan didn't know the deeper meaning, they were still willing to listen to his advice because they valued Gong Mengbi.
My cousin's surname is Wan, and he has a family of martial arts. He was a military attache a few generations ago, but later fell into decline. He still hasn't given up on his ancestors' skills. In fact, most of the younger generation are unwilling to learn. Learning martial arts requires hardship, and the future is not as broad as studying literature. It's just that The old man insisted, so it can be passed down.
Although they are cousins, the Shen and Wan families have never stopped contacting each other.
When Shen Shan travels all over the country to do business, he rarely needs the support of martial arts masters. Many of them are children of the Wan family, or the disciples and grandchildren of the old master.
After the Shen family made money, they did not hesitate to maintain the relationship between the two families and gave a lot of money to the Wanjia Martial Arts School and the Escort Agency.
It is not difficult for Shen Qiao and Shen Yan to learn martial arts. As long as they are willing to ask, the old man is willing to teach them all.
Shen Qiao and Shen Yan took Gong Mengbi to the house by the West Lake. Before they entered, Gong Mengbi asked, "I once gave you two protective beads. Do you still wear them now?"
Shen Qiao and Shen Yan took out the pearl from their necks and said, "I have been wearing it all this time because Uncle Lao Gong protected me. I encountered unknown things several times, but they turned disaster into good luck and avoided it."
Gong Mengbi asked them to pick off the pearls, play with them in their hands, and said, "I will refining them and return them to you in two days."
At that time, Gong Mengbi had not yet reached the middle level of cultivation. In addition, after a few years, he encountered some evil things and suffered some losses. Now he is no longer very clever.
Gong Mengbi valued the second son of the Shen family very highly, and of course he wanted to practice them again.
After entering the house, Gong Mengbi let out a sigh and asked, "When did you raise a fox ghost in the house?"
Shen Qiao and Shen Yan were immediately surprised and said, "Fox ghost? We haven't seen any fox ghost before?"
Gong Mengbi then asked, "Who is that woman in the backyard?"
Shen Qiao said: "That's Aunt Liu who was invited by my cousin's family to take care of our daily life."
Shen Yan asked: "But what's the problem with Aunt Liu?"
Gong Mengbi looked at it and said, "The problem is not really a problem, it's just a curiosity."
Shen Qiao and Shen Yan took him into the backyard and saw Aunt Liu sweeping the courtyard. When they saw them coming back, they smiled gently: "The two young masters are back."
Shen Qiao and Shen Shen looked at Aunt Liu suspiciously, then looked back at Gong Mengbi, but hesitated to speak.
Aunt Liu also looked at Gong Mengbi. She was smiling at first glance, but as soon as she looked at him, she felt a sense of fear.
She forced a smile and said: "The young master has brought guests, I will go and cook."
She put down her broom and wanted to leave, but Shen Qiao stopped her by shouting: "Stop!"
Aunt Liu had no choice but to stop, not daring to look at Gong Mengbi anymore. She lowered her head and looked weak and surrendered. Although she didn't say anything, she already felt that she had raised her hands in surrender.
Gong Mengbi took one look and said, "Come with me."
He walked into the backyard, and Shen Qiao and Shen Yan followed him.
Gong Mengbi went to the shrine dedicated to him, opened the door and went in, and he could see two statues, one of which was the Empress of Mount Tai, and underneath was a fox.
Aunt Liu entered the shrine, shaking like chaff, lowering her head and not daring to say a word.
Gong Mengbi asked: "You fox ghost, why are you here?"
Aunt Liu then knelt down in front of Gong Mengbi and said, "Exalted Immortal, please spare my life!"
Gong Mengbi didn't say anything, and Aunt Liu explained everything clearly like pouring beans through a bamboo tube.
"The little fox has cultivated his inner elixir for hundreds of years, but was killed by his own kind. He stole my elixir and turned into a ghost. He used the spiritual energy of the West Lake to practice again. Previously, the little fox had seen two young masters trapped by ghosts, but he took out the elixir. The rare treasure escaped. I saw the spirit of the fox fairy, so I followed them. I saw the two young masters worshiping the fox fairy, but no one was using the incense, so I took the opportunity to transform into a woman, taking care of their daily life, and using the incense to solidify their bodies. "
"The little fox only stole some incense for the day trip and did not dare to take more. Because he knew that the two young masters were destined to the Fox Fairy, he was willing to serve them. He just wanted to be taught by the Fox Fairy to practice."
As the woman spoke, the scent of incense dissipated from her body, turning into a fox ghost with decayed clothes and a human-shaped fox head.
Shen Qiao and Shen Yan have always been getting along happily with Aunt Liu, and Aunt Liu has always been careful and cautious in doing things, so they feel relieved.
They had never thought about such a thing. Looking at the ragged fox ghost with black skin in front of them, they were stunned and their hearts started beating wildly.
