Hua Yi Xia Li

Chapter 426 The Liar

Long Xiao dodged the young woman and couldn't switch seats with Yang Xiaoyue and Lin Xuan. He had to pretend to go to the restroom to escape his seat.

Hiding in the restroom, Long Xiao was a bit troubled. If he went out and was pestered by the young woman, Lin Xuan would definitely fall out with him. Then, if there was trouble at home, it would be a big problem.

Long Xiao pondered in the restroom for a long time and finally decided to go out. He hadn't received the money yet, so if he didn't go out, it would be all for nothing.

As soon as Long Xiao walked out of the restroom, he saw Lin Xuan walking towards him.

"Going to the restroom?" Long Xiao asked with a smile.

Lin Xuan shook her head and said, "I saw you hadn't come out for a long time, so I came to check on you."

"I'm fine, don't worry, wife. Thank you for your concern, wife."

"Who's concerned about you? I'm worried you'll be tricked by that woman and still count money for her," Lin Xuan gave Long Xiao a sidelong glance and said.

"Don't worry, wife, I won't be fooled. My will is very firm."

"You're the one I worry about the most. You stir up trouble everywhere and provoke people you shouldn't."

Long Xiao returned to his seat. The young woman said with concern, "Daoist priest, are you feeling unwell?"

Long Xiao shook his head and said, "If I can make you comfortable, I have my own ways to be comfortable."

The young woman looked at Long Xiao ambiguously and said, "It's good that you're comfortable. If we're all comfortable, maybe someone will be uncomfortable watching."

Long Xiao looked at the young man next to him. The young man's face showed an uncomfortable expression.

"Benefactor, are you feeling unwell? This humble monk, ah... no, this humble Taoist regards money as dirt. As long as there is enough dirt, the Lord will give you the opportunity to cultivate the land well."

The middle-aged man chuckled aside, looked at Long Xiao, and finally couldn't help but say, "God said, 'Let fellow Taoists live, but not this monk.'"

Long Xiao laughed heartily at the middle-aged man's words and said, "Well said. 'Let this monk die, but not fellow Taoists.' A monk who feeds himself to tigers is quite loving."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you a Taoist or a monk?"

Long Xiao clasped his hands together and said, "This humble monk cultivates both Buddhism and Taoism, and has reached the ultimate realm. All things in the world are within my grasp. Walking in the mortal world is merely playing a game."

"Daoist priest, you speak well. Dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism is indeed powerful. If one cultivates Buddhism, Taoism, and Catholicism together, it would be even more powerful," the young woman said.

Long Xiao saw that the young woman still had no intention of giving money and reminded her, "This humble Taoist regards money as dirt, so I only cultivate as a monk and a Taoist, not as God."

The young woman then remembered that Long Xiao had cured her illness, and she had promised him money but hadn't paid. She quickly asked Long Xiao for his bank card number and transferred the money to his account.

Seeing the confirmation of ten million yuan arriving in his account, Long Xiao thought, "There are so many rich people nowadays."

Donghai was not very far from Port City. The plane soon began to descend. The young woman said, "Daoist priest, can you give me your phone number? I'd like to treat you to a meal when I arrive in Port City."

Having received ten million yuan, Long Xiao's objective was achieved. He didn't want to provoke this young woman further.

"This humble Taoist wanders the four seas and has no fixed abode. Leaving you a phone number would be useless," Long Xiao said, feigning profound wisdom.

The young woman looked disappointed and said, "Daoist priest, I truly admire you. How can I find you if I want to see you in the future?"

Long Xiao called out, "Wu Liang Dao Zun," and said, "It's all up to fate. If there is fate, we will meet from a thousand miles away; if there is no fate, we will not recognize each other."

The young woman nodded vigorously and said, "I understand, Daoist priest. If we have fate and meet again, I will treat you to a meal."

The plane landed, and Long Xiao continued to act like a master. As soon as the young woman got off the plane, he hurried to Lin Xuan and Yang Xiaoyue's seats to help them with their luggage.

The middle-aged man, who deplaned after Long Xiao, saw Long Xiao helping two beautiful women with their luggage. As he passed by Lin Xuan and the others, he said in a low voice, "Two beautiful ladies, this guy is definitely a骗子 (piàn zi - scammer), you must be careful."

Long Xiao's hearing was very sharp. He heard the middle-aged man's words and glared at him fiercely, "Who is a scammer? You are the scammer! Your whole family are scammers."

The middle-aged man saw that Long Xiao had heard him and said, "You are a scammer. You scammed us out of money just now, and now you're trying to scam these two beautiful ladies."

"Am I scamming my wife by helping her with her things? Are you out of your mind?" Long Xiao said indignantly.

The middle-aged man stared at Lin Xuan with wide eyes, not believing Long Xiao's words.

Lin Xuan said, "Thank you for the reminder, big brother, but he is indeed my husband. He's not a scammer, he's a doctor, and he likes to joke."

"Did you really cure that young woman's illness with a talisman?" the middle-aged man asked curiously.

Long Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, I really cured her. Haven't you heard of Zhuyou Shu? In fact, many healing talismans in Zhuyou Shu are very scientific. It's just that the standards of science are controlled by Westerners, so everything from our China has been labeled unscientific."

Long Xiao's words struck a chord with the middle-aged man. He nodded and said, "You're absolutely right. Chinese people should strive for self-improvement. As long as everyone in China works hard, our scientific standards will eventually become world scientific standards."

The middle-aged man chatted with Long Xiao for a few more sentences. By the time most people had disembarked, they finally left the plane with their luggage.

As soon as Long Xiao, Lin Xuan, and Yang Xiaoyue stepped out of the airport, they saw Huo Tianyi standing next to a Ferrari, waiting for Long Xiao.

"Brother Long, I'm here." Seeing Long Xiao, Huo Tianyi waved happily.

Seeing Huo Tianyi, whose appearance was no less attractive than hers, Lin Xuan's expression turned displeased.

"Long Xiao, are you here to meet a beautiful woman in Port City, or to attend to business?" Lin Xuan asked with a sullen face.

Seeing that Lin Xuan was about to lose her temper, Long Xiao quickly said, "Wife, I am indeed here on business. She is Huo Tianyi, granddaughter of Superman Huo. Her father is my friend, and he's encountered some trouble recently."

Lin Xuan had come to Port City this time to negotiate a cooperation agreement with the Huo family.

Yang Xiaoyue, upon hearing that the beautiful woman was Huo Tianyi, quickly said, "President Lin, Huo Tianyi is a rising star in the Huo family. Superman Huo values her highly and entrusts her with many difficult matters."

"Xiaoyue, are we negotiating this agreement with the Huo family with her?" Lin Xuan asked.

Yang Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "No, we're not negotiating with her directly. However, she is a member of the Huo family, and knowing her will definitely be beneficial."

Lin Xuan looked at Long Xiao. Long Xiao understood her meaning and said, "Wife, leave the negotiation of the cooperation agreement to me. You two enjoy yourselves, and the agreement will be signed in a few days."

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "At least you have a conscience. You know that Xuanxiao Company isn't just mine."

Since Xuanxiao Group opened, Long Xiao had rarely interfered in company affairs. Now that the company had grown, it was all thanks to Lin Xuan's efforts.
