Chapter 10 The Most Secure Man (Please keep reading)
As they entered the backyard, Ma Xiaoling’s eyes lit up when she saw Lin Bei gesticulating with Kuang Tianyou.
She whispered to He Yingqiu, “Uncle Qiu, we’re going to get rich this time! This Mr. Lin is famously generous. Now someone can help me pay off my credit card!”
He Yingqiu looked at Ma Xiaoling helplessly.
Both she and Mao You had studied under him. She used to be such a well-behaved child, but somehow, she had turned into this.
However, judging by her reaction, she didn't seem to recognize Kuang Tianyou's identity, which was a good thing.
Otherwise, if the two really started fighting, He Yingqiu wouldn't know who to help.
Ma Xiaoling, who had not yet inherited Ma Danna's lifelong cultivation, would find it quite difficult to defeat Kuang Tianyou.
“Wipe your drool. Don’t let people look down on you.”
After saying that, He Yingqiu led the way towards Lin Bei and Kuang Tianyou.
Ma Xiaoling subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth, only to realize she had been tricked. After stamping her foot, she quickly followed.
Seeing a limping Old man with a beautiful young woman approaching, Lin Bei immediately recognized their identities.
He Yingqiu was fine; he just looked like an ordinary Old man, nothing special.
But Ma Xiaoling, this woman truly had legs all the way up to her neck.
Lin Bei was quite experienced with women, but among all the people he had dated, none had legs more beautiful than Ma Xiaoling’s.
Compared to Lin Bei, who was only focused on the woman, Kuang Tianyou’s eyes were only on He Yingqiu.
They had been old friends for many years. He Yingqiu had always helped him with his expired blood and identity issues.
Over time, their relationship had become very solid. He Yingqiu was one of the few people Kuang Tianyou could trust, and vice versa.
“Mr. Lin, allow me to introduce you. This is Uncle Qiu.”
Hearing Kuang Tianyou’s words, Lin Bei snapped back to attention and smiled as he extended his hand to Uncle Qiu, saying, “Hello, Uncle Qiu. I’ve long heard that you are Master Mao’s esteemed disciple. Today, I am finally fortunate enough to meet you.”
He Yingqiu thought Kuang Tianyou had told Lin Bei his identity, so he didn't think much of it and likewise smiled, shaking Lin Bei's hand.
“Hello, Mr. Lin. How may I help you?”
Lin Bei raised an eyebrow and said, “Aren’t you going to introduce the beautiful lady beside you first?”
He Yingqiu felt a bit helpless. He had read many of Lin Bei’s gossip news in the newspapers, and frankly, he really didn't want Ma Xiaoling to have any contact with Lin Bei.
But this time, Lin Bei had specifically asked to see a Ma Family descendant, so he could only bring Ma Xiaoling along.
He Yingqiu turned to Ma Xiaoling and said, “Xiao Ling, aren’t you going to greet Mr. Lin?”
At this time, Ma Xiaoling was just in her early twenties, having just returned from studying abroad. Not yet having experienced the series of events at Ka Ka Building, she appeared very lively.
After hearing He Yingqiu’s words, she proactively extended her hand to Lin Bei and said, “Hello, Mr. Lin. My name is Ma Xiaoling. If you ever encounter any dirty things in the future, you can always find me. For Uncle Qiu’s sake, I’ll give you a ten percent discount!”
After shaking hands with Ma Xiaoling, Lin Bei smiled and said, “That’s quite a coincidence. I invited you here precisely because I’ve encountered some troublesome matters. As long as you can help me solve them, money is not an issue.”
At these words, Ma Xiaoling’s eyes sparkled even more.
Due to her background, she was destined not to have a normal romantic relationship. Coupled with Mao You secretly using forbidden techniques to revive her boyfriend, which led to a falling out between them, Ma Xiaoling had poured all her interests and hobbies into shopping.
Although the Ma Family had a lineage of over two thousand years, they hadn't left behind much family wealth, forcing Ma Xiaoling to be self-reliant.
Now, as soon as she heard the word 'money,' her eyes would light up.
“Mr. Lin, rest assured. We Southern Mao and Northern Ma are renowned exorcism experts. No matter what kind of demons or ghosts, encountering us is like meeting their nemesis.”
Ma Xiaoling boasted confidently, but He Yingqiu beside her wished he could dig a hole in the ground and bury himself.
Twenty or thirty years ago, he had thought the same, believing that with his skills, there was no demon he couldn't subdue.
And then… Kuang Tianyou broke his leg.
If Kuang Tianyou wasn’t a unique kind of zombie who disliked killing and drinking blood, he would have scattered his ashes long ago.
Fortunately, Kuang Tianyou’s expression management was excellent; even hearing Ma Xiaoling boast, he didn't show any unusual emotions.
On the contrary, Lin Bei seemed to see through everything, and his gaze towards him always carried a hint of teasing.
Just as He Yingqiu was wondering how to make Ma Xiaoling shut up, Gao Jin walked over.
“Boss, there’s a police officer named Feng outside looking for you. He says he’s from Tung Ping Chau.”
Lin Bei’s eyes lit up at the words, and he said, “Quickly invite him in!”
“Yes!”
Gao Jin replied and then turned and walked out.
Not long after, he brought in a middle-aged man with a peculiar appearance.
The man’s facial features looked ordinary, but when combined, they exuded a sense of righteous dignity, especially his unibrow, which gave a strong feeling of security.
Lin Bei had been worried about the various monsters in this world, but after seeing this man, he inexplicably felt a sense of calm.
After Uncle Feng entered, he first surveyed Lin Bei and the others. When his gaze swept over Kuang Tianyou, he frowned slightly but quickly moved on.
He asked Lin Bei expressionlessly, “Are you the one looking for me?”
Facing the blunt Uncle Feng, Lin Bei didn’t get angry.
After all, this person was like this with everyone. His cold, unapproachable demeanor was merely a disguise; in reality, he was a traditional social recluse.
Moreover, in the coming time, Lin Bei would have to rely on him to solve some problems, so he naturally wouldn’t show him a bad face at this moment.
He enthusiastically extended his hand to Uncle Feng and said, “You’re Officer Feng, right? I’m looking for you because I’ve encountered a tricky matter that’s hard to explain quickly. How about we move to the backyard together!”
Uncle Feng nodded, maintaining his cool expression.
Lin Bei turned and gestured for He Yingqiu and Ma Xiaoling to follow.
He Yingqiu felt nothing, but Ma Xiaoling was displeased by Lin Bei’s inconsistent attitude.
“Uncle Qiu, why did this Mr. Lin’s attitude change so quickly? Is that unibrow more important than us?”
He Yingqiu first glanced at Uncle Feng, and seeing that he wasn’t paying attention to their side, he said, “Speak softer. By seniority, even I have to call him Martial Uncle.”
Ma Xiaoling’s eyes widened suddenly, and she asked, “Then I have to call him Grand Martial Uncle? How come I’ve never heard of him?”
He Yingqiu fell silent. This involved some secrets of the previous generation, and as a junior, he dared not speak too much. Otherwise, his master might appear in his dreams to trouble him that night.
Seeing He Yingqiu fall silent, Ma Xiaoling immediately felt bored and could only follow behind Lin Bei and the others to where the ancient corpses were stored.
Both Uncle Feng and He Yingqiu were rare Taoist practitioners in this era.
The moment they stepped into the talisman array, they both felt the unique resentment of zombies.
Ma Xiaoling, on the other hand, having never dealt with zombies before, only found the two coffins in front of her a bit strange and did not detect the specific problem.
