The right way to pretend to be inscrutable

Chapter 24

With Chu Yao's approval, Bai Duan was in a happy mood and rushed out of the study impatiently to meet her new "big meal" that was not delicious but definitely filling.

Chu Yao followed behind, seeing Bai Duan's brisk steps that almost jumped up, he felt a slight pain in his temple.He took two quick steps, grabbed Bai Duan at the top of the stairs, and lowered his head to glance at him: "Be careful, this time someone else wants something from you, don't act so urgent, it's just a drop in price!" With satin's confused gaze, Chu Yao felt that his headache was getting worse, "Will you be a badass? You are young, and you have to hold your ground when you come up, so that others can convince you."

Seeing that Bai Duan still didn't understand these convoluted communication problems, Chu Yao rubbed his eyebrows and resorted to his trump card: "If you can't gain the trust of the two below, it will make them think that you are young and not good enough." If you are reliable and unbearable, then they will not ask you to get rid of the evil spirit."

Immediately, Bai Duan's heart trembled.

"Not getting rid of evil spirits" is equivalent to "continuing to be hungry again", so he must "make others trust", he must "put on airs", and he must "get off his horse".

Once this equation was formed in his mind, it immediately attracted Bai Duan's attention.His joyful little face sank instantly, revealing a sense of indifference, coldness, and aloofness. Then he turned his head slightly and cast a cold glance at the brothers of the Zhou family who were looking forward to him at the bottom of the stairs. Surging, imposing—perfectly restored the majesty and unpredictable of Guxiao Zhenjun.

This glance immediately made Zhou Jinhui and Zhou Jinyu brothers excited, and unconsciously straightened their spines, sat up straight, and showed a respectful posture.

Originally, when Bai Duan appeared at the stairs on the second floor, both of them were a little disappointed and worried, because the white-haired young man seemed to have nothing special other than being beautiful, as if he was a pampered young man. Clear and harmless.

But soon, reality slapped them hard.

——Bai Duan showed such a soft and relaxed expression only because he was facing Chu Yao, while others were destined not to receive such gentle and lenient treatment.

In Bai Duan's eyes, the Zhou family brothers felt that they were as small and humble as ants, while the white-haired young man was a god standing in the sky, with no joy or sorrow, and no dust in his eyes.

If others treat them with such an attitude, the Zhou family brothers will definitely feel displeased, even bored, and must teach the other party a lesson, but at this moment, there is no similar emotion in their hearts, instead, there is a kind of peace of mind.

——The so-called "master" should indeed have a similar detached attitude.

Even Zhou Jinyu felt that Master Zhao Yu's entrustment to him to be respectful to Master Bai before his departure was really superfluous.In front of this young man, who would have the guts to do something disrespectful?Just the aura of that glance alone makes it impossible not to surrender.

Seeing that Bai Duan's "offensive power" was very successful, Chu Yao patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, signaling him to "enough is enough", so as not to go too far.

Bai Duan obediently restrained the aura that was surging around him, and followed Chu Yao downstairs, like an ordinary taciturn young man, but the two of the Zhou family never dared to underestimate him.

Zhou Jinhui and Zhou Jinyu quickly stood up, and stretched out their hands to Bai Duan. Bai Duan lowered her eyes slightly, looked at them, and also reached out to shake hands with them, and then quickly withdrew her hands - even though she had come to this world already It's been a long time, but he is still not used to the etiquette of "shaking hands".

Bai Duan's attitude was indifferent, which made the Zhou family brothers feel a little uneasy. Zhou Jinhui smiled and gave Bai Duan a few words. His attitude was not flattering, but it was full of sincerity, which made people feel very comfortable listening to it. Even Bai Duan, who was trying to keep a straight face and had an indifferent expression, couldn't help but feel a little happy, and even his complexion softened.

Zhou Jinhui, who had been observing the other party's reaction, would naturally not miss this point. After "Master Bai" calmed down and stopped caring about their unauthorized visits, he quickly proposed the purpose of his visit. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Bai Duan Some impatiently raised his hand to interrupt: "I have heard about your situation, I agree."

Both Zhou Jinhui and Zhou Jinyu were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly. The rhetoric they had prepared and the bunch of benefits they promised hadn't come into use.

But Chu Yao silently covered his face in his heart, and secretly scolded Bai Duan for not being able to hold back after all, for being so impatient to agree.

As a qualified "shit shoveling officer", Chu Yao naturally wanted to help his little animals smooth out their troubles immediately.He nodded with a smile, and interjected: "Xiao Duan is not in good health, so I didn't want to go. But the Zhou and Chu families are very much in the same boat, and I was taken care of by the Zhou family when I was a child, so I couldn't stand by and watch the disaster of the Zhou family , so he begged Xiao Duan for a long time before he let go."

If someone else said such a thing, Zhou Jinhui would definitely think that the other party was taking credit and wanted to ask for a favor from the Zhou family, but if the object was changed to Chu Yao, it would be completely different.

Chu Yao is as generous as a hob, and more importantly, he has scheming skills.Even for a big family like the Chu family, he can press his fingers to death in minutes, so why would he care about the favor of the Zhou family?And if it wasn't for a favor, then Chu Yao's words were worth pondering.

After Zhou Jinhui thought for a while, he immediately understood what the other party meant - it was because they were afraid that they would underestimate the other party because the other party agreed too easily, which would cause Master Bai's dissatisfaction.As for the friendship between the Zhou family and the Chu family that Chu Yao said... it's just a scene, just listen to it. Everyone knows the truth, and regardless of whether Chu Yao's actions are worried about Master Bai's anger or the Zhou family, Zhou Everyone will remember this helping hand.

Having figured out the joint, Zhou Jinhui quickly put on a smile and nodded repeatedly: "Master is a straightforward person, on behalf of the Zhou family, I thank you very much!"

Seeing Zhou Jinhui being so upbeat, Chu Yao nodded in satisfaction, turned his head and glanced at Bai Duan, who was about to bury his eagerness under his indifferent appearance, and had to rush ahead of him and said, "In this case, it is better to hit the sun another day, we Let's go to Zhou's house now to see the situation?"

Regarding Chu Yao's proposal, the Zhou family brothers naturally readily agreed, not even caring about the politeness, and led the two out of the door, while Chu Yao walked beside Bai Duan, and gave him a faint glance, implying a warning.

Bai Duan: "..."

——The happy little spirit devouring mink was silent for a moment, obediently suppressing the too brisk pace calmly.

Although the Bishuiwan community is either rich or expensive and is a representative of power, it is still a newly built community after all. Only young people who have become independent from big families will choose to buy a house here, and old families like the Zhou family His ancestral house is not in this position.

Bai Duan and Chu Yao sat in the car, and after an hour's drive, they arrived at the huge ancestral house built by the Zhou family on a low hill.Along Panshan Road, the car drove around for a few laps and finally stopped at the gate. At this time, the Zhou family who had already received the news were waiting there, anxious and anxious.

Seeing the white satin getting off the car, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but due to Zhou Jinhui's respectful attitude towards the other party, they quickly restrained their emotions and greeted him sincerely.

Bai Duan glanced slightly, and found that the Zhou family members present were more or less infected with evil spirits, but these young people were full of yang energy and strong resistance, and the evil spirits only floated on the surface, at best, they only affected their own luck. Not yet a health hazard.

Bai Duan didn't know how to communicate, so he simply put on a straight face and handed over all these "work" to Chu Yao, while under the guidance of Zhou Jinhui, he stepped into the living room of Zhou's family and met Zhao Yu who had been waiting there.

Seeing Bai Duan enter the door, Zhao Yu put on no airs at all, stood up to greet Bai Duan with a smile, looked up and down Bai Duan, and found that his complexion was rosy and his breathing was soothing, so he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief: "It seems that Master Bai is in good health. gone."

Bai Duan nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the magic weapon brought by Zhao Yu, and his heart was very coveted - there are so many auras!

Bai Duan's eyes were flat, but Zhao Yu felt some danger for no reason, and quickly drew his attention away from his own magic weapon: "Master Bai should know the specific situation of the Zhou family, so I won't go into details. Yes. Now that the situation is urgent, let's get straight to the point and talk about how to deal with it."

As he said that, Zhao Yu brought Bai Duan to the table, and pointed to a roll of blueprints spread out on the table: "The evil spirit is stubborn and cannot be dispelled, and it can only be defeated by force. Prepare to use magic tools to fight against that evil spirit." Seeing Bai Duan staring at the blueprint in silence, Zhao Yu asked humbly, "Master Bai, do you think there is something wrong with this formation?"

Bai Duan pursed her lips and shook her head slightly - anyway, she couldn't understand it at all.Immediately, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Yu: "Are you planning to forcibly restrain the evil spirit with a magic weapon?"

"Not bad." Zhao Yu nodded, still feeling a little pained.

Bai Duan frowned, also feeling extremely hurt, but he was not only hurting those magic weapons, but also hurting the evil spirit all over the mountains and plains.

Spiritual energy and evil spirit are opposite in nature, just like Yin and Yang, they can cancel each other out, merge, and transform into a useless and harmless moderate breath.So in theory, there is nothing wrong with Zhao Yu's idea.

But Bai Duan was reluctant.

Ever since he knew this, Bai Duan had already regarded the evil spirits as his rations, how could he just watch them being suppressed (wasted) (wasted) (wasted) (wasted) by Zhao Yu and dissipated between heaven and earth by such means?He opened his mouth, and just as he was about to refute, he heard Chu Yao, who came to the living room with him, speak first: "Although Xiao Duan already knows about the troubles of the Zhou family, but she hasn't done a field investigation, maybe she can't say for sure?"

"That's true!" Zhao Yu slapped his forehead and suddenly smiled wryly, "Look at me, I was so busy and confused that I forgot this." After finishing speaking, he looked at Bai Duan again, "If Master Bai is free, we will Let’s go to Xiaocang Mountain together?”

Bai Duan nodded, and hit it off with Zhao Yu—he couldn't wait to see his rations!

Xiaocang Mountain is located in the southwest of Shanghai, about two hours' drive away.As soon as they arrived at Xiaocang Mountain, everyone felt a burst of coolness, as if they were shocked when they walked into an air-conditioned room.However, this kind of coolness does not make people feel comfortable. On the contrary, there is a feeling of stuffiness and depression, which makes people feel irritable.

After getting off the car, everyone walked towards the deep mountain along the vaguely visible mountain path.The deeper you go, the more uncomfortable everyone becomes, and the more dignified the expressions on their faces. Only Chu Yao and Bai Duan seem to be unaffected. One is still as leisurely as walking in a garden, while the other speeds up involuntarily. Footsteps, as if impatiently rushing to the front of the team.

Seeing that Bai Duan didn't need to lead the way, everyone in the Zhou family found the exact direction to go, and couldn't help but trust him more and more—however, that extraordinarily urgent, seemingly joyful look really made people feel happy. Quite a bit complicated.

Zhou Jinyu moved closer to Chu Yao, lowered his voice subtly: "This Master Bai...seems a little happy?"

Chu Yao twitched the corners of his mouth, gritted his teeth secretly, but responded with a smile: "Maybe I am happy to see Lie Xin, right? The Zhou family is a bit troublesome, and it is also an exercise and challenge for Xiao Duan, so I must be excited." a bit."

Zhou Jinyu nodded, and accepted the statement together with the other Zhou family members who were quietly listening. Even Zhao Yu gave Bai Duan an admiring look, praising this young man for having the courage to challenge himself, instead of being complacent and content with the present. Achievement.

——To be able to use a few words to shape the impatient Bai Duan into a good young man who is diligent and hard-working, Chu Yao can really be called hard-working.

Chu Shi Shovel Officer Yao said that he is still a good and responsible host today.
