"Master!" Huo Shuizhen said unyieldingly: "I just want to test his skills to see if he is really that powerful."

"Nothing." Shao Haisheng had a stern face, "You are a guest, so how can you do something to the master? You are still a girl, why don't you even have any etiquette? Why don't you apologize to Jiang Lai quickly."

Huo Shuizhen pouted, his face full of unhappiness, especially when he looked at Jiang Lai, he was even more unhappy.

Seeing this, Jiang Lai couldn't help but smile and said, "Old sir, I believe Miss Huo has no malice. Anyway, there is no loss. Forget what happened just now, it's rare for a guest to come to the door. Don't stand outside. Please come in quickly!"

Hearing this, Huo Shuizhen nodded with satisfaction and shook a look of "You know your appearance" at Jiang Lai, which made Jiang Lai speechless.

After entering the living room, Huo Shuizhen sat down carelessly. At the warning of Jianglai, Hao Yun immediately served tea. Just then, Shang Nishang walked out of the inner room and saw a strange woman, and was about to ask. However, before she could say anything, Huo Shuizhen's eyes lit up and hurriedly stood up to meet Shang Nishang.

Jiang Lai was shocked, afraid that the other party would make rude actions again, so he hurriedly followed her.

However, what surprised him was that Huo Shuizhen was not only not rude, but instead acted politely, and compared to him just now, he was completely different.

"You are Miss Shang, Hello, I'm very happy to know you. My name is Huo Shuizhen. I heard my grandfather say you are here, so I came to meet you from afar."

Faced with Huo Shuizhen's enthusiasm, Shang Nishang was obviously a little stunned and didn't understand what was going on. Out of politeness, she smiled and greeted the other party, and then turned her eyes to Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai shrugged and came directly to Shao Haisheng's side, "Old sir, your apprentice..."

"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault for being too spoiled." Shao Haisheng smiled helplessly, but although he said that, his eyes at Huo Shuizhen were not blamed at all, but were more doting. "Jiang Lai, don't get me wrong. Shang Nishang and Hai Liusha are all the objects of worship by the girl. The purpose of her visit this time is probably to see them with her own eyes."

"Worship?" Jiang Lai was stunned.

"In my disciple's words, today's Taoist sects are all men's world, but Shang Nishang and Hai Liusha are outstanding representatives of women, and she also hopes to become people like them one day."

Hearing this, Jiang Lai immediately understood that this woman was a supporter of feminist ideas.

Seeing that Huo Shuizhen and Shang Nishang were chatting very enthusiastically, Jiang Lai felt relieved. The visitor was a guest and Shao Haisheng's apprentice, so he naturally had to treat him well.

"Sister Nishang, why did you fall in love with Jiang Lai?" Huo Shuizhen asked curiously, "Although he is good, you are much better than him. There is no need for a woman like you to rely on her men. I think you should make a world with your own abilities so that all men know that our women are not bad either."

Shang Nishang didn't expect that she would ask such a question, and couldn't help but smile, "I'm not interested in fighting for power and profit. Moreover, I am a traditional woman, and it's more suitable for me to take care of my husband and children."

"Sister Nishang, what era is this? Your idea is too backward."

"Everyone has their own preferences."

"But..." Huo Shuizhen wanted to say something, but Shang Nishang seemed not very interested. Before she finished speaking, she had already stood up, "You sit down first, I have something to do."

Looking at Shang Nishang's departure back, Huo Shuizhen shook his head secretly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

When she was very young, because of her weak body, she was often bullied by boys on weekdays. Her parents not only ignored this, but insulted her wantonly. She knew that her parents always wanted a son, but gave birth to her daughter. This kind of boyish treatment caused great trauma to her young heart. It was not until she met Shao Haisheng that she had a new life.

Over the years, she has been working silently to prove to everyone that women are not worse than men. Women can do what men can do better.

Therefore, when she heard about Shang Nishang and Hai Liusha, she became very interested in these two people, hoping to make friends with them and create a great cause together. However, the chat of Shang Nishang just now disappointed her. A person who is content with the status quo and does not want to be enterprising is really not worthy of her worship. What makes her feel even more annoying is that Shang Nishang's mind still retains the traditional idea of ​​taking care of her husband and children.

A few more days passed in a blink of an eye.

During this period, Jiang Lai contacted Fu Yu'an, but unfortunately, there was no gain from Nuwa's side, and no one knew who had captured Song Changxing. Moreover, the superiors gave an deadline. Within half a month, Song Changxing must be found, which put Fu Yu'an under tremendous pressure.

Although Jiang Lai wanted to help, he was powerless. What's more, he had a lot of things to deal with now.

"Mr. Jiang, the people from the Ma family are here. They want to talk to you."

"I'm finally here." Jiang Lai smiled, "Please invite them in."

Ma Yishen has been detained for so long. As the head of the Ma family, it is impossible for the Ma family to abandon it.

Not long after, a middle-aged man walked in under the leadership of Hao Yun. Jiang Lai had met the other party and knew that his name was Ma Chuan and he was a powerful man in the divine realm.

"Mr. Ma, please sit down!"

After sitting down, Ma Chuan said calmly: "Mr. Jiang, I think you should know my purpose."

"Of course!" Jiang Lai smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, I don't think you are interested in listening to my nonsense. Since that's the case, let's open the skylight and speak loudly. The head of the Ma family broke into my manor and fought with me. Should you give me an explanation?"

"I came to negotiate on behalf of the Ma family today. Mr. Jiang, you can make any requests directly. I will try my best to satisfy you. However, I must first meet our head and Ma Tiansheng, at least I must ensure their safety."

Jiang Lai nodded and gave a wink at Hao Yun on the side. The latter understood and immediately asked someone to bring Ma Yishen and his son out. However, after just taking a look from a distance, the two of them were taken down again.

"Mr. Ma, you have seen the person. Now it depends on how sincere your Ma family is about to show."

Ma Chuan took out a list very readily and handed it to Jiang Lai, "This is the inventory that our Ma family has collected for many years. Mr. Jiang might as well see if there are any things you are interested in. In order to express my sincerity, our Ma family is willing to take out five collections in exchange for the freedom of their father and son."
