Chapter 1742

Seeing that Ye Xiao suddenly stopped, Wu Chuan and Davika were both a little confused. They were about to ask, but they heard a voice behind them.

"Old Wu, the person who can bring luck to your Wu family for the next thirty years is in front."

Hearing this voice, Wu Huiru, Wu Chuan and Davika all turned their heads curiously.

They saw a young man in green clothes and short hair standing with a square-faced old man more than ten meters behind them.

"Grandpa!" Wu Huiru called to the old man and then walked quickly to the old man's side.

"Old man Wu, why did you come out?"

Wu Chuan and Davika were a little confused.

"Didn't he say that he was fasting and clearing his mind, and talking about health preservation with some Taoist master?"

"And judging from the voice, the person who just spoke should be the short-haired young man next to Mr. Wu. Who is this person? What does he mean by that?"

At this moment, Ye Xiao, who first sensed the aura of the young man, suddenly had a bright idea and felt that there should be a chance for cooperation with the Wu family.

Because the young man standing next to Mr. Wu was an acquaintance of Ye Xiao, Zhuge Lin.

It was not difficult for Ye Xiao to think that the Taoist master mentioned by Wu Huiru when entering the Wu Mansion was undoubtedly Zhuge Lin.

Does Zhuge Lin still owe him a favor? It shouldn't be a problem to ask him to help persuade Mr. Wu!

At this time, Zhuge Lin naturally noticed Ye Xiao, but he was not as surprised as Ye Xiao.

Because before he came to Penglai, he had divined for himself and predicted that he would meet this guy again, who had a deep karmic relationship with him but was not so likable.

But Zhuge Lin did not accurately predict that he would meet Ye Xiao in the Wu Mansion.

Wu Guozhang, the old man of the Wu family, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ye Xiao and others thoughtfully.

In fact, he did not really lose his ambition and no longer care about worldly affairs in the past ten years since he retired, but he has been waiting for an opportunity.

Decades ago, after the ban between Longguo and Penglai was lifted, he once went to Longguo.

During that trip to Longguo, he happened to meet a member of the Zhuge clan in Xishu, who gave him guidance and told him that he would have a prosperous fortune for thirty years, but after thirty years, there would be no progress. If he wanted to change his fortune, he would need the help of a person with great opportunities.

At first, Wu Guozhang did not believe it very much, but after he returned to Penglai, as the Zhuge clan member said, his career was rising step by step.

In the past ten years, he supported Zhonghemen and made the Wu family one of the three major forces in Penglai, and almost won the position of leader of Penglai.

But after the thirty-year deadline, Wu Guozhang was not smooth sailing. His career stagnated and he almost went to jail because of a disaster. Since then, Wu Guozhang knew that his luck had come to an end, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, and lived in seclusion in Wu Mansion.

However, in the past ten years, he was unwilling to do so, so he sent people to the inland of Longguo to find Zhuge people, hoping that they would teach him again.

Finally, last month, the people he sent met Zhuge people who participated in the martial arts exchange meeting and returned to Xishu.

After a warm invitation, the ancestor of the Zhuge clan sent Zhuge Lin to Penglai.

So now, Zhuge Lin and Ye Xiao meet again.

Ye Xiao did not rush forward to greet Zhuge Lin, but only used his eyes to signal Zhuge Lin. After all, from what Zhuge Lin said just now, he could hear that he should have used Taoism to calculate the future for the Wu family.

If he acted familiar with Zhuge Lin, Wu Guozhang would inevitably suspect that Zhuge Lin was his agent.

Zhuge Lin was a leader among the young generation of Zhuge clan. He instantly understood what Ye Xiao meant, so after a bitter smile, he stopped looking at Ye Xiao.

To be honest, he didn't want to deal with this guy with such a thick face.

"Hui Ru, are they the guests from the inland that you said yesterday?" After thinking for a while, Wu Guozhang asked his granddaughter softly.

Wu Huiru nodded, "Father has already met Mr. Ye and others, now let me send Mr. Ye and others away." Wu Huiru also keenly realized that things might turn around.

So he tactfully told his grandfather about his father's attitude towards Ye Xiao and the others.

"Mr. Ye, I'm sorry. I had some personal matters just now and was unable to come out to meet you in person. I'm very sorry. I wonder if Mr. Ye can come to my courtyard to chat again." Wu Guozhang looked at Ye Xiao and his group and smiled warmly.

His voice was very gentle, but he had a natural aura of being in a high position for a long time.

After hearing what Wu Guozhang said, Wu Chuan on the side couldn't help but cheer up.A feeling of a new hope after a dark tunnel.

"Okay, we also want to talk to Mr. Wu." Ye Xiao readily agreed.

In the conversation with Wu Shouzhuo just now, Ye Xiao judged that Wu Shouzhuo was too indecisive and was not suitable to be their ally.

But this old man Wu was the one who brought the Wu family to its peak, and his courage and character must be above Wu Shouzhuo.

If this old man Wu is willing to accept cooperation, it would be a good choice.

"Hui Ru, go and call your father to my courtyard." After Wu Guozhang told his granddaughter, he made a gesture of invitation to Ye Xiao and others, indicating that they should follow him.

A few minutes later, in a courtyard planted with green bamboo, plum and chrysanthemum, Ye Xiao, Wu Chuannan and others, Wu Guozhang, Wu Shouzhuo, Wu Huiru, the core figures of the three generations of the Wu family, sat opposite each other.

Zhuge Lin, who indirectly facilitated the conversation between the two parties, went into the courtyard room and meditated.

Zhuge Lin was not interested in the trivial matters of the world. He came to Penglai just for experience.

The ancestor said that he would have great gains in Penglai. He hoped that he would not have anything to do with the man surnamed Ye this time!

As for Ye Xiao and the Wu family, Wu Guozhang took the lead and said, "Mr. Ye, your people came to my Wu Mansion a month ago. I wonder if you came here for that matter?"

Although Wu Guozhang has been resting in the courtyard for these years, he still pays close attention to the big and small things happening in the Wu family.

Hearing Wu Guozhang's words, Wu Shouzhuo was even more confused. When his daughter told him that the old man wanted to meet Ye Xiao and others, he couldn't figure out what the old man meant?

For more than ten years, the major policies of the Wu family have been controlled by himself. At the beginning, he also went to ask for the old man's opinion, but the answer he got was that he was the one who made the decision.

Since then, he rarely discussed business with the old man.

Why did the old man personally talk to Ye Xiao and others today? Could it be that the old man also had high hopes for Ye Xiao and this opportunity and wanted to make a comeback?
