20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 680 Opening Eyes

"Granddaughter, I'm not bragging, but your Sixth Master, I, can perform many more tricks."

Guan Wei's ability to be mysterious was not lost at all. He immediately counted on his fingers and talked to Jiang Ya: "It depends on what you want to see. For example, taking objects from the air, changing positions, creating something out of nothing..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ya rushed to say, "I want to see it all. Change it for me from the beginning, and watch the telekinesis first."

"Wow, little girl, you picked the most difficult one for your Sixth Master right away. You want to make a fool of me!" Guan Wei pretended to be embarrassed. After pondering for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Well, I'm happy today, so I'll show you my skills. But one thing, if I don't get better, you can't laugh at your Sixth Master!"

Jiang Ya was impatient and jumped up and down, saying, "I promise not to laugh at you. Change quickly!"

"Okay, later, you'll open your eyes and see clearly what it means to push the clouds and grab the moon!"

Guan Wei leaned back, took out a small stick from the corner, handed it to Jiang Ya, and nervously instructed: "Take it, don't be vague."

Jiang Ya took it and asked in confusion, "What are you doing with the stick?"

"It's a magic trick!" Guan Wei looked around the alley seriously, then turned around and lowered his voice to a very low level, "Granddaughter, we are real relatives. Sixth Master will not hide it from you. Just this little stick of mine, you think it's insignificant, but last year someone offered a hundred dollars to buy my stick. Guess what happened?"

Jiang Ya blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sixth Master, I spat in his face right there. Go away. He wants to buy my stick for a hundred dollars. If I look at him even once, that would be flattering him!"

"You're lying, isn't this just a wooden stick?"

"Ah, little girl, you don't know what's good. Don't you take a look? Is this an ordinary piece of wood? This is the sacred tree on Mount Kunlun. Phoenixes have napped on the tree, and fairies have kissed under the tree. It took three thousand years to become the material. Once you split it, you can only take a piece as thick as your wrist. It can destroy two sacred sticks. One is with me, and the other is used as a flagpole for the heavenly soldiers and generals."

"Then why did you use it to hold the door?"

"This is called mixing pearls with fakes, confusing people's eyesight. Besides, if I hold it to sleep every day, it will be uncomfortable."

Jiang Ya chuckled and hurriedly urged, "Then change quickly, what do you want me to do with this stick?"

"Don't worry!" Guan Wei said calmly, "The act of taking something from the air is called 'Xuantian Great Moving' in our jargon. Tsk tsk tsk, it requires great magical power. I, your sixth master, didn't have lunch today, so my power has been greatly reduced, so I thought of using this magic stick to make up for it."

"How to make up for it?"

"Since this stick is made of a sacred tree, it can certainly attract spirits and communicate with gods. If you poke it with this stick, it can reach up to the ninth heaven and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon; it can reach down to the ninth spring and absorb the roots of the mountains and rivers. Sixth Master, I am borrowing some external force just to help you take things from afar. It's not easy!"

Jiang Ya pondered for a moment, curled her lips and said, "I don't believe it, you must be lying to me."

"I know you don't believe me, so let's see what happens. Let's see!"

Guan Wei rolled up his arms and sleeves, muttered something, and performed a set of inexplicable magical skills. Then he stretched out his left hand, stopped near Jiang Ya's pocket, pinched the air, and finally smiled mysteriously.

Jiang Ya hadn't reacted yet and just thought that Sixth Master was bluffing.

"Is this the end?" she asked.

Guan Wei nodded with a smile: "It's already in our hands."

"What did you take away?" Jiang Ya supported the wooden stick with one hand and looked through her pocket with the other.

After groping for a while, he suddenly raised his head and shouted in surprise: "Sixth Master, where is the money you just gave me?"

Guan Wei smiled but said nothing.

Jiang Ya suddenly realized what was going on. She dropped the stick and rushed over. She grabbed Liu Ye's empty fist and asked, "Is it in your hand?"

"You'll know if you take a look!" Guan Wei pretended to be profound.

Needless to say, Jiang Ya had no intention of sitting idle anyway, and she immediately pried open Sixth Master's fingers one by one.

I thought that the dragon dollar was in my palm, so I was naturally full of expectations. However, when I stretched out all five fingers, my palm was empty!
"You don't have any!"

Jiang Ya was anxious, and rushed over and searched all the pockets of Liu Ye, but apart from a few banknotes and some old square-holed coins, she never saw the dragon silver dollar.

No matter how you look for it, it would be strange if you can see that dragon dollar again!

When Lao Rong took money, he would never carry the stolen property with him unless he did it intentionally.

People can be arrested and things can be found, which is not a big deal. But if people are caught red-handed, it will not only lead to jail time, but also make people laugh their heads off, and they will never be able to survive on the Internet again.

"You must be hiding it!" Jiang Ya said firmly, "Stand up, it must be hiding under your butt!"

Guan Wei couldn't stand up, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Granddaughter, don't worry, your piece of dragon gold is really not with me."

"Didn't you say 'telekinesis'? If it's not on you, then who else could it be on?"

"The God of Wealth is keeping it for me!" "You liar, stand up first and let me see!"

Jiang Ya smiled and pushed Sixth Master hard. Her original intention was just a game between grandfather and grandson, but she never expected that after pushing forward with all her strength, Sixth Master actually fell down!

Guan Wei leaned back due to the force and his body swayed a little. He subconsciously raised his hand to hold the door panel, but suddenly found that Jiang Ya had lost her balance and fell down as well. So he immediately withdrew his right hand, protected his granddaughter in front of him, and fell on his back.

Jiang Ya was unharmed. She immediately stood up and looked at Guan Wei lying on the ground, giggling.

"Sixth Master, why are you so weak that you fall down so quickly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the laughter stopped abruptly.

Jiang Yading stood still and suddenly panicked.

Guan Wei was seen lying on the ground on his side, supporting his body with only his elbows. His legs were as soft and weak as willow branches, and he was unable to stand up for a while.

Jiang Ya was a little scared and didn't dare to step forward to help. She squatted down and asked with concern: "Sixth Master, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay!" Guan Wei supported himself with his hands, forced himself to sit up and smiled, "If you still don't believe me after I tell you, look under that stool and see if there's any money there?"

Jiang Ya ignored him and continued to ask, "Sixth Master, what happened to your legs? Can you still stand up? Do you need my help?"

Guan Wei didn't try to be brave. He pointed at the tilted bench and said, "Granddaughter, help me lift the bench up."

Jiang Ya did as she was told and continued to squat there. She didn't dare to say a word and just silently picked at her shoelaces with her fingers, mistakenly thinking that she had caused some terrible disaster.

"Sixth Master, do you need to go to the hospital?" she asked, "Can you...can you not tell my dad and my mom?"

Guan Wei was stunned for a moment, then he burst out laughing and said, "Oh, granddaughter, you think too much. For a martial artist like me, it's inevitable to have bumps and bruises. This is nothing. Don't take it to heart!"

At this time, Cui'er, the personal maid in the room, came out following the sound and asked hurriedly, "Sixth Master, look at you, how long has it been since you last fell? What happened today?" As soon as she walked out of the room, she was suddenly stunned, "Oh, whose child is this?"

"Cui'er, go back!" Guan Wei waved his hands impatiently, "Don't delay my emotional communication with my granddaughter!"

The maid raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Oh, this is the eldest daughter of the Dong family. She has grown so tall?"

Jiang Ya was obviously frightened by the Sixth Master's condition. She stood up hastily and defended herself, "I, I didn't use enough strength just now. This is not my fault!"

"Well, miss, no one blames you!" Xiao Cui'er came over with a smile and said kindly, "He used to fall all the time, I'm used to it. Why are you here? Who sent you here?"

Guan Wei glanced at her and quickly reminded her, "Cui'er, be careful with what you say and what you shouldn't say!"

Since Xiao Cui'er was a personal maid, she did not agree to it normally. She walked forward slowly, squinted at Guan Wei, and said, "Do you need me to tell you this? If I don't even have this much tact, would Grandma let me serve you?"

Guan Wei muttered a few words, then supported himself with his hands and sat back on the bench.

Jiang Ya looked up at Xiao Cui'er, and saw that the person who came was about 26 or 27 years old, with a pretty face. She was not like an ordinary maid, and she dared to joke with her master. After thinking for a while, she asked bluntly: "You...are you my Sixth Grandma?"

Xiao Cui Er laughed and said quickly, "Miss, please don't yell. How could I like him? I had no choice!"

"Hey, hey, hey, what nonsense are you talking about in front of the child?"

"Oh my, you're pretending now. It's not the usual time to call me?"

"You...why do you keep bringing that up?"

"It's not that I like to bring it up, but you usually call me for nothing else!"

Guan Wei was speechless. His disadvantages over the years had never changed - he had never lost when making up lies, and he had never won in arguments.

Jiang Ya was confused and naturally didn't understand what was said. She just thought it was quite interesting to watch the two people bickering. She finally put her mind at ease and started laughing along with them.

As they were talking and laughing, a shadow suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Xiao Cui'er's face froze and her expression immediately tensed. She quickly lowered her hands and stood silently beside Sixth Master.

Guan Wei turned his head and looked outside the door. He suddenly became quiet. He looked at Jiang Ya eagerly and said reluctantly, "Granddaughter, your uncle Dong is here to take you home."

Jiang Ya turned around and saw Uncle Dong standing outside the gate with a serious expression on his face. Then she turned back suddenly and pretended not to see him.

Zhang Zhengdong was tall and had a dark face. Just by standing there, he seemed to have brought the atmosphere of the entire alley to freezing point, but that was actually just an illusion.

In fact, Dongfeng never lost Jiang Ya. He watched his niece turn into the alley, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not stop her.

He stepped in, patted Jiang Ya on the shoulder, and said in a cold tone that Jiang Ya had never heard before, almost commandingly:
"Niece, it's time to go home."
