Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

"Oh dear, young lady, what you're saying is a bit inappropriate. How could I, Long, be such a person? If you want to know, I'll answer you one by one. How could you say such hurtful words? It really chills my heart." Long Xiangtian said to Ouyang Lan with a grin. For some reason, seeing this woman gave him a strange feeling, which was really pleasant.

Ouyang Lan, however, was displeased. "Fine, I am already a prisoner today. Why bother talking about human rights? That's just mocking the Ouyang family. Kill me or torture me as you please, I won't even flinch." It was unclear where she got the courage, but this girl, who appeared gentle and mild-mannered, showed no fear whatsoever in the face of death.

Although Long Xiangtian seemed nonchalant, he was actually paying close attention to Ouyang Lan's every move.

Although he was in love with Ouyang Lan, it was this girl who led a group of people to kill him last night. If it weren't for his intelligence, he probably wouldn't be seeing the beautiful sun today.

However, Long Xiangtian is not a cowardly person.

He always believed that fortune favors the bold, and that to obtain treasures and beauties, one needed to consider not only the tone of voice but also one's own courage.

Therefore, he was very glad that he hadn't killed Ouyang Lan's retainers last night, otherwise, even if he said a thousand words today, he wouldn't be able to get any closer to Ouyang Lan.

The two strolled amidst the birdsong and fragrant flowers, and through the clouds, arrived at their dining place.

However, Ouyang Lan exclaimed in surprise because she saw an unbelievable scene: the retainers and old steward who had come with her last night were now sitting there eating peacefully and without any problems.

Regardless of whether Long Xiangtian was nearby or not, and disregarding her status as a young lady of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Lan excitedly ran over and said, "Old Butler, are you alright?!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing when they saw the young lady, and stood up, saying, "Miss!"

These two people were overwhelmed with emotion; as they looked at each other, tears streamed down their faces.

Seeing this scene, Long Xiangtian was truly moved; nothing in this world could surpass such a pursuit. However, he was also somewhat annoyed, thinking, "This little brat, she doesn't even thank me. Just wait and see how I deal with her later."

Chapter 883 Benefactor

We don't know either. Last night, I only felt a wave of dizziness, and when I woke up, I was being fed and cared for, but I couldn't move around freely. The one who spoke first was the old butler who had risked his life to escort me away last night.

Therefore, everyone's eyes turned to Long Xiangtian!

"Well, well, I'm not really sure about this either." Long Xiangtian waved his hand, as if it were none of his business.

However, no one seemed to think they would let him off easily.

Finally, under such a sharp gaze, he slowly said: Actually, your Ouyang family doesn't need to treat me like an enemy.

Some people wanted to say something, but wisely kept their mouths shut.

I've also heard about your so-called superstitions, like how I stole the Ouyang family's feng shui or something.

All I can say now is that I am who I am, a unique self, Long Xiangtian.

If you insist on linking me with your so-called Ouyang family bloodline, there's nothing I can do. But no matter what, I won't kill you.

Because if I were to actually do that, I would be no different from you ignorant humans.

Now that you've eaten and drunk your fill, I won't stop you from leaving if you want; the gate is right over there.

Listening to Long Xiangtian's slow explanation, it was naturally impossible to dispel all their thoughts about him with just a few words.

After leaving the Long family, someone said: "Actually, I think this young master of the Long family isn't bad. He didn't make things difficult for us much..."

But before he could finish speaking, his mouth was shut.

The old butler asked, "Miss, you said..."

Ouyang Lan replied: Old housekeeper, just say what you have to say.

Actually, perhaps I'm overthinking it. What I'm worried about is that now that our identities are known, if the Long family retaliates against us, our current strength simply won't be enough to withstand it.

I'm so old now, it doesn't matter anymore, but the Ouyang family's century-old foundation can't just disappear like this.

Ouyang Lan was also helpless: Even if they wanted to take revenge on us, it was understandable. They went to assassinate someone last night, and now they're back to cause trouble for us, but it's still reasonable.

Old butler: That's true, but...

Ouyang Lan: Alright, I understand what the old housekeeper means. Let nature take its course. It seems that after what happened last night, Ouyang Lan doesn't know whether it's a blessing or a curse, but her views on some issues are no longer as unchangeable as before.

They returned to the Long family home.

A servant rushed in and sat in the head seat of the council chamber. Long Xiangtian showed a hint of displeasure.

Is this how I taught you? This month's salary will be deducted.

The servant, having recovered, seemed unsurprised and simply replied quickly: Yes!

"Say what you need to say now. Everyone here is from the Long family, so speak your mind." Long Xiangtian waved his hand dismissively.

Everyone could see this; their young master was indeed a rare talent, one in a million.

I dare say, I am the master of the Long family.

The servant said respectfully, "Young master, someone outside is requesting an audience."

"Who is it?" Long Xiangtian asked.

"According to the intelligence department, they don't know their origins either, so, your subordinate..." he said respectfully as always.

"Okay, I understand." Long Xiangtian looked somewhat puzzled.

What is the origin of these people, whose very intelligence network cannot find any information about them?

However, since they dared to come here, I won't panic. Let me see what's going on.

Meanwhile, waiting outside the door were none other than Pigsy and Sandy, who had witnessed everything from high above the sky the previous night, disguised in disguise.

However, this time, the outfit wasn't as flashy as the last one.

Because they came over immediately after seeing the Ouyang family leave. Because there must be something in the Long residence.

This reflects their sensitivity to treasures as Buddhists.

"Second Brother, what do you think is inside?" Although Sha Wujing sensed the mystery within, he still couldn't figure it out.

“So you’re really my senior brother now, I don’t see anything interesting about that. But be careful later,” Pigsy said seriously.

"What's wrong? Has something happened?" Sha Wujing was startled by Zhu Bajie's sudden seriousness.

“I have a feeling that our old rival is coming.” Pigsy looked carefully at Sandy’s face.

"Old rivals? You mean those two from the Demonic Sect?" Although Sha Wujing didn't know how his second senior brother knew, seeing his serious expression, he chose to believe him.

Long Xiangtian, accompanied by two guards, arrived at the gate to greet them, eager to see who had come to visit the Long residence.

Upon entering each other's line of sight, Long Xiangtian's first impression was that the two men opposite him meant no harm, but he was unsure of their intentions.

However, Pigsy acted as if he were the master, and enthusiastically came up.

The guards on the side wanted to stop him, but stopped when they saw Long Xiangtian's eyes.

Because if the other party really wanted his life, he felt that the guards here wouldn't last more than two seconds against them.

"Hello, I am Long Xiangtian." Seeing the other party being so proactive, as the head of the Long family, he naturally couldn't back down.

"Hello, I come from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East. I have been ordered by Emperor Wu to pay a visit to our esteemed guest, a man of exceptional talent."

Zhu Bajie's words surprised Long Xiangtian. He hadn't expected the other party to dare say such a thing, as if he were acting on the emperor's orders.

However, since they said that, they must have their reasons. Even if I investigate, I shouldn't find any flaws.

So it turns out, it's by order of His Majesty the Emperor. It seems our Long family has failed to provide adequate hospitality. Since we're being treated with such authority, we can't afford to embarrass the Long family.

Please come in, please come in. I'll have the servants prepare some food right away. I wonder what you two would like to eat?

Chapter 884 As Expected

When it comes to eating, Pigsy is just like a lecherous wolf who can't resist a beautiful woman.

Although this guy is a womanizer and loves good food, he should restrain himself a little now that he is a Buddhist.

Thinking back to the past, the times when I couldn't resist beautiful women and was dragged along by the ears by Sun Wukong are also a kind of memory.

Another point is that if this were in the past, Pigsy would probably be like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, seeing and hearing everything before him.

However, now that he's a man who's been to the imperial palace, he naturally won't lose his composure because of the Dragon Mansion's opulent splendor.

Long Xiangtian suddenly asked: "I wonder, what is the name of this eminent monk?"

Sha Wujing answered honestly: "I am a golden-bodied Arhat."

Pigsy nudged Sandy, but before he could react, words were already out of his mouth.

"This idiot, doesn't he know they're testing us?" Pigsy thought to himself, "A million grass mud horses are running through my mind."

But now that it's already been said, there's nothing that can be done.

"I am the Cleansing Altar Messenger." Pigsy pretended to be a high-ranking monk, uttering golden words, and his act was quite convincing.

Long Xiangtian had originally intended to send his guards to test the waters, but seeing the other party's fearless demeanor, he decided against it. He didn't want to risk losing both his wife and his troops.

It's like he tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead; he's a genius like Long Xiangtian, he wouldn't do something so foolish.

"Oh, hehe. So it's the Golden Arhat and the Cleansing Altar Messenger. I've made a mistake in choosing my guests." Long Xiangtian thought to himself, "Just wait and see how I deal with you guys later."

He continued, "I wonder, what brings these two eminent monks to our humble Dragon Palace?" The dragon looked up to the sky.

Pigsy still wanted to bring up the emperor, so that he could have a certain status and wouldn't be intimidated by anything.

But just then, another servant hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully ran to Long Xiangtian's ear, and whispered: "Young master, two more people have come to visit."

Long Xiangtian frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure, realizing that the two groups were probably not working together.

So he said: I don't know what a great day it is today, everyone is giving me face and crowding into our house.

However, since they have come, we should naturally give them face and go to greet them.

He glanced at Pigsy and said, "You two go ahead and have some of our appetizers. I'll be there in a bit."
