The right way to pretend to be inscrutable

Even though his mind was full of turmoil, Chu Yao still maintained a "kind" smile, watched Bai Duan sign the child's autograph calmly, and even stroked his round head.

Afterwards, the child turned to look at Chu Yao, with a shy but excited expression: "Can you sign me too? I am also your loyal reader!"

"Oh? Really?" Chu Yao raised his eyebrows, took the book from the child, and asked casually, "Are you ten years old? Can you understand it?"

On the notebook in his hand, Bai Duan's signature was neatly and handsomely written. It was obvious that he had been instructed by a famous expert, and the writing was like the person's, revealing a sense of seriousness.

For some reason, Chu Yao immediately thought of the scene when the unknown love rival was holding Bai Duan half in his arms, teaching him how to write stroke by stroke—just like how he taught Bai Duan Feng Shui, intimate, warm and harmony.

Slightly sore in his heart, Chu Yao raised his pen and wrote his name next to Bai Duan's signature. The flamboyant, sharp and rigid strokes were entangled with the handsome handwriting next to him, as if besieged and lingering. One.

"I'm nine years old, and I can already read and understand!" The child's eyes lit up, "Your novel "Sixteen Yin and Yang" is really beautiful, and I learned a lot from it! Chapter 18 , the way the protagonist solves the Poison Lin Formation is really ingenious, I've never—”

Zhao Yu coughed lightly, interrupting his stupid apprentice's continuous reading thoughts: "This novel is really well written."

Hearing the master speak, although the child was still a little excited, he closed his mouth very obediently and stopped talking.Zhao Yu glanced at him with satisfaction, and then looked at Chu Yao: "It seems that you have a thorough study of Feng Shui, and your mind is also very flexible."

——Zhao Yu didn't see or hear that Chu Yao solved any incidents with his own hands, so he always thought that he just learned a lot of theoretical knowledge from Bai Duan. Naturally, he didn't respect him as much as he did to Bai Duan. A bit like the elders giving pointers to the younger ones.

Regarding Zhao Yu's attitude, Chu Yao didn't intend to refute at all, but just smiled with a good temper and said modestly, "Thank you, Master Zhao, for your compliment. Feng Shui is profound and profound, and I still have something to learn."

Zhao Yu was quite satisfied with Chu Yao's response, and nodded with a smile: "No matter what you say, your novel is indeed a combination of education and popularization. Even readers who have never been in touch with Feng Shui can immerse themselves in it. It is very good to learn all kinds of basic Fengshui theories in depth." After a pause, he changed the topic, "However, due to the wide audience of this novel, there are some... um, content that is not suitable for minors. It's better to be restrained."

Zhao Yu has no interest in online novels at all. If it wasn't for the fact that his young disciples liked some of them and even regarded some of them as standard, Zhao Yu really didn't know that there was such a novel as "Sixteen Yin Yang" in the world.

In order to better teach his disciples, Zhao Yu had to find out this novel and read it carefully, and admitted that it was indeed a very good novel, even if he, a Feng Shui master, viewed it with a professional eye. , I can't see any flaws, obviously a lot of effort has been made.

However, Zhao Yu can't rest assured that her innocent little apprentice will continue to read this novel. After all, looking at the group of "old drivers" waiting to be fed, Zhao Yu is a little worried, for fear that the little apprentice will read it at a young age Things that shouldn't be seen are impacted by the three views.

Now, seeing the author of this novel, Zhao Yu hesitated for a long time, and finally brought up his worries secretly. I hope Chu Yao can take care of the next generation in the Fengshui world, and please hold on to yourself, and don’t be fooled by those readers Encouraging to write something messy.

Regarding this simple wish, Chu Yao shrugged his shoulders and showed an ambiguous smile—what does the mental health of minors have to do with me?My apprentices teach themselves!

It's a pity that Zhao Yu didn't know about Chu Yao's slander. Seeing him smiling, he thought that he agreed with his suggestion, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had solved a big worry.

With Zhao Yu's little apprentice as a lubricant, the atmosphere among the three adults was significantly relaxed, and there was a sense of intimacy with old friends in their conversations—even though they hadn't actually been together for a long time.

On the way to the venue, Zhao Yu briefly introduced the masters present to Chu Yao and Bai Duan.These masters come from all over the country and from all corners of the country. There are big schools such as Buddhism and Taoism, and there are too many small ones. Some of them have never even heard of it.Luckily, Zhao Yu was well prepared to educate them in advance, otherwise it would be quite rude to ask questions after arriving at the venue.

The meeting place is located in a wide courtyard in the city center. Judging from the style and structure alone, it should be an old house with a history of a hundred years.This place is neither resplendent nor magnificent, and there are no delicious delicacies. There are only wooden tables and stools dotted under the grape trellises, which is very simple.A dozen or so masters of different ages and costumes sat together in twos and threes, holding tea and talking in low voices, or holding chess pieces in their hands and playing a game of chess, appearing extremely leisurely and comfortable.

As soon as you step into this courtyard, the hustle and bustle of the outside world is suddenly left behind, as if you have entered a paradise isolated from the world, it can really be called "a great hermit in the city".

"Here... seems like a magic circle has been set up?" Chu Yao paused, turned to look at Bai Duan, and asked in a low voice.

Bai Duan didn't know why he asked this question, but still nodded obediently, answering every question reflexively - he has been trained by Chu Yao to get used to it: "Well, the simplest sound-proof array, the eye-eye medium Those are the wooden tables and stools."

——Sound-proofing circle, the basic magic circle that everyone in the comprehension world should know, even if Bai Duan is ignorant, he has learned a lot under the influence of his ears and eyes.

Hearing that Bai Duan could see the ingenuity in the courtyard at a glance, Zhao Yu's eyes lit up: "It seems that Master Bai also knows a lot about formations?"

"...No." Bai Duan shook her head and answered honestly.

Zhao Yu didn't believe it at all: "Master Bai, you don't have to be modest. If you can see through Master Liu's masterpiece at a glance, you must have a lot of experience in formation. I must introduce you to each other!"

Bai Duan: "..."

——I really don’t know it at all, please don’t introduce me! QQ

Chu Yao silently glanced at Bai Duan, and slightly supported his forehead.

——He has become a habit of setting up the white satin table, and accidentally set it up a bit high, which seems to be self-defeating...

While the two were racking their brains to think about how to remove the platform, another person stepped into the yard and greeted Zhao Yu.

The person who came was wearing a baggy old man's shirt. Although it was late autumn and the wind was blowing, he didn't seem to feel cold at all.He seemed to be the most ordinary old man on the street, only his eyes were sharp and piercing, pointing directly at people's hearts.

Zhao Yu greeted the old man respectfully, and then looked at Bai Duan: "This is Master Zang, the most famous master of physiognomy in the lineage of Mai Shenxiang." After the introduction, he half-jokingly teased, " You have to be careful when facing his old man, the police often ask him to identify suspects, no matter what good or bad things he has done, he can tell at a glance!"

The old man laughed, raised his hand and slapped Zhao Yu: "Bastard! Do you think the old man is an X-ray? You can watch whatever you want?! Now that I am old, I don't take pictures easily, for fear of losing my life. , I have two more years to live to teach my apprentices!"

Zhao Yu giggled, showing a bit of naughtiness in front of the old man: "For these two little friends, Master Zang doesn't want to take a look?"

Master Zang didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Bai Duan, and traced his face with his eyes.

Master Zang looked at Bai Duan a little nervously, for fear that he would find out that he was not human.Fortunately, this master Zang was not as "god" as Zhao Yu said. After a while, he nodded with a smile: "Little friend Baiduan's face is quite good, with a clear and bright look, and it is really a sign of longevity." , although there are some small ups and downs in life, but you have to meet noble people, smooth and worry-free. People who break fortunes and reverse the secrets of heaven will always have five disadvantages and three shortcomings, so you don't need to worry too much, just do what you want, your face is already extremely precious."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Zhao Yu interrupted with a smile: "Master Zang doesn't need to comfort Master Bai, he should have been prepared for his heirs, after all..." As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Yao, Full of teasing and hints.

Master Zang lives in seclusion, teaching his disciples every day, so he naturally doesn't know the ups and downs of Bai Duan and Chu Yao coming out of the closet.After receiving Zhao Yu's hint, he glanced at Chu Yao, then shifted his gaze to Bai Duan, and laughed out loud after a while: "So that's it, that's it! Congratulations!"

Bai Duan's face became a little hot from his laughter, and she secretly glanced at Chu Yao with red ears, but Chu Yao was thick-skinned, raised her hand to wrap Bai Duan's shoulder, and took it without changing expression, but the smile deepened A few points: "Thank you for your kind words."

Looking at the pair of Bi people standing in front of him—although they were both men—Master Zang stroked his beard with a smile on his face, obviously genuinely happy for them.After all, most of them are lonely and widowed all their lives, and they devote all their energy to their apprentices. Now seeing the juniors so happy and happy, they are really happy.

"Master Bai has a good face, what about Mr. Chu? What about his face?" Zhao Yu asked quite curiously.

Master Zang cast his eyes on Chu Yao, and after a while, his smile faltered, and he let out a "hiss".

Zhao Yu and Bai Duan also felt a "thud" in their hearts, Bai Duan showed worry, and Zhao Yu hurriedly asked: "Master Zang, what's wrong?"

"Don't say it, don't say it." Master Zang shook his head, showing a complicated face, turned his head and walked into the yard, "Old man, I want to live for two more years! This matter can't be said!"

Zhao Yu and Bai Duan looked at each other, confused, but Chu Yao didn't take it to heart at all, and told Bai Duan not to worry, he had his own measure.

Master Zang kept silent, and the person involved did not have any desire to explore, so the matter naturally left it alone.And their joking conversation with Master Zang at the door has already attracted the attention of other people in the courtyard.

Seeing them finished chatting and entering the courtyard, several masters who had good friends with Zhao Yu stood up and greeted them. The tuned masters got acquainted.

During the conversation, Bai Duan always felt that a bunch of eyes were fixed on him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. After enduring it for a while, he finally turned his head and followed his feeling to see a person sitting in a corner wearing a suit. A man in a black suit.

The man was in his thirties, with a high nose and deep eyes. He should have some exotic blood. He looked strange and very attractive.His dark brown pupils met Bai Duan's gaze without avoiding it, and even pulled the corners of his stiff mouth slightly, forcing a weird smile.

The man was surrounded by a layer of depression, sitting alone, as if no one spoke to him, but he seemed to enjoy the atmosphere quite a bit, without any discomfort.

Seeing that Bai Duan was looking at the man, Zhao Yu casually introduced: "That man is Master Huerman, a Chinese-Thai hybrid, not well-known in the Feng Shui circle in China, but a leading wizard in Thailand. Famous, he is quite an outstanding rising star. Although he looks gloomy, he has a good temperament, but he is relatively withdrawn and doesn't like to socialize with others—I don't know why, but this time he accepted the invitation to attend the party .”

While speaking, the man in black stood up and walked over to the crowd on his own initiative, causing them to be puzzled and stopped talking.

Huerman's goal was very clear. Without looking at others, he went straight to Bai Duan, stretched out his hand to him, and said in a hoarse and low voice, "I'm Hurman Shinawatra, hello."

Bai Duan froze for a moment, then shook her hand: "I'm Bai Duan, hello."

Hullman let go of his hand and tried to smile: "I know you, you are fine."

After finishing speaking, he nodded towards Bai Duan, then turned around and walked back to his original position, leaving the stunned people completely unresponsive, and did not understand what happened at all.

Silently grasping the hand that Bai Duan just shook with Huerman, Chu Yao wiped it without any trace: "...==#"

——He really shouldn't have nodded and agreed to Bai Duan's coming to this damn party. It's unlucky to have a bad start right after getting off the plane!
