Above Destiny

Chapter 256: Meeting and Smiling Again
"Ji Jue——"

Lou Feng squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "If you are okay, I will go to Yacheng today and die with you!!!"

"You were the one who disliked it first!"

Ji Jue was shocked. He had heard enough fun from the receiver, so he stopped teasing him: "Do me a favor, help me contact your husband—"

"dream!"

Lou Feng was furious. He refused without waiting for him to finish, "Impossible. I knew you were still thinking about my aunt... Wait, what the hell are you talking about!"

"I said……"

Ji Jue sighed helplessly, took a deep breath, and almost shouted: "Help me contact your teacher!!!"

Then, there was another awkward silence.

Until Lou Feng killed his past self who had embarrassed himself, he pretended that nothing had happened, and spoke again, his voice still trembling: "What do you want to talk to the teacher about?"

"Please sign my name."

"Signature made..."

Lou Feng was halfway through his words when he suddenly got stuck.

It seemed like I suddenly remembered something.

There was a long silence on the phone.

Not sure whether he was surprised or envious, he asked, "So fast?"

"I want to ask that, but I don't have the courage." Ji Jue shrugged: "I can only ask you for help."

"I see."

Lou Feng didn't say anything more about what he was struggling with. He just said at the end: "I'll talk to the teacher. Send me the address later. It will be delivered to you within today."

The phone hangs up.

The sound of dripping water was heard, and Ji Jue didn't react for a long time.

today?

Estimate the distance between Chaocheng and Yacheng. Given the difficulty of outdoor transportation these days, I'm afraid we'll have to send someone to take an airship that takes off and lands on the same day...

After all, they are the Lou family, even giving an autograph is so luxurious.

The second signature is easily solved.

Then, another question came up...

Teacher, Master Kong, there are only two signatures left, and one more is left. Where can I find it? The main thing is that there are already two masters in front, and the one behind can't be too bad...

Otherwise, wouldn’t it lower the value of the guarantee?
Just as he was squatting on the steps, pinching his chin and thinking like a goblin, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

Message from Professor Ye.

Just a location and address.

Then, Ji Jue began to scratch his head and compared it repeatedly with the address that Tong Zhiwu had sent him before, but there was no difference at all.

This location seems to be...

The Tong family?
"Hello? Is Hanhan there?"

Ji Jue dialed the number and naturally heard the embarrassed and angry voice on the other end: "Who is the fool? Who are you calling the fool?! Ji Jue, I'm warning you, be careful with your attitude, I just transferred tens of millions into your account yesterday!"

Tsk.

The downside of getting to know each other so well is that even Ji Jue doesn’t call me brother anymore.

But we are all friends and we are so familiar with each other. In the future, we will have to rely on Miss Silly to sell the stolen goods. It is not good to scare people for fun.

But before Ji Jue could say anything, a faint voice came from the other end: "Did you tsk me again?"

"No, no! How could that be possible!"

The corner of Ji Jue’s eye twitched.

You naturally perceptive little ether devil, I will personally pluck out all the melon seeds and kernels from you!

In order to avoid further arguments, he simply got straight to the point: "Are you home?"

"Ah I?"

The sleepy voice on the other end suddenly woke up and immediately panicked: "You...what do you want to do?! Are you so short of money recently?"

Snapped!
Ji Jue’s slap landed on his face, completely numb.

How come everyone I'm chatting with is out of sync since this morning? !
"Tong family! Tong family!"

He feebly defended himself: "I came to visit you for something. I wanted to see if you could show me the way and bring me some fruit or milk. This can be considered as a bribe to Minister Tong."

"..."

Then, another long and awkward silence came.

After a long while, a guilty voice came from the other end, "I've sent you the address. Call me when you get there."

Why didn't you say this earlier?

Ji Jue hung up the phone and sighed.

The world is so hard now, why is it so difficult to ask people to do something for you? One or two people either think they are lustful ghosts or lawless lunatics, or both.

Before I even got the words out of my mouth to ask for help, it was almost turning into kidnapping and extortion.

What kind of image do you have in other people's minds? ! .
The calf and horse galloped all the way, and twenty minutes later, Ji Jue had arrived at the edge of Yacheng. Looking back from the top of the green hills, the city in the distance was clearly visible, and ships were setting sail or returning in the harbor in an endless stream.

Going up along a rarely traveled flat road in the mountains, through the lush woods, a huge courtyard located in the distance in the mountains gradually comes into view.

There were no luxurious decorations outside, and even the security was sparse and almost non-existent. In front of the quaint gate, there was only a skinny old man wearing the standard three-piece suit of Yacheng, lazily lying in a rocking chair and drinking Kung Fu tea.

It was only a little after noon and I had no idea how much I had drunk. The tea dregs next to me were almost piling up like a mountain on the plate.

"uncle?"

Ji Jue poked his head out, waved his hand and asked, "Excuse me, where do you park your car?"

"Stop wherever you want."

The old man casually pointed to the empty space in front of the door, took a look at the appearance of the little calf and horse, and sighed: "Nice car... The young man is very handsome, where did he come from?"

"In the city, in the northern mountain area."

"Come, come, sit down and have some tea."

Seeing him carrying large and small bags, the old man waved to him enthusiastically and poured water skillfully. Ji Jue's eyebrows jumped when he saw the mountain of tea leaves in the covered bowl. After pinching the thumb-sized cup with bamboo tongs and scalding it, water soon came out of the covered bowl. A layer of tea oil floated on the rich tea soup, which almost reflected his shadow.

Ji Jue’s eyelids twitched when he saw this, but he couldn’t refuse.

It can only be said that the Federation has its own enrichment.

"Hey, it's rare to see such a young man visiting us in the past two years."

The old man sighed and greeted you warmly: "How old are you? You are in your early twenties, young and promising. When I was twenty, I pushed a cart and sold fish balls all over the city. Now that I am old, I can only work as a doorman. My youth is gone.

Oh, you are looking for Huahua. Huahua may have just woken up. Just walk inside, go to the fork at the back, turn right, and go a little further and you will arrive.

Hey, there are no rules, just people outside talking nonsense. Go ahead, it’s good to be young…”

After drinking a cup of tea and chatting with the lonely old man for a long time, before Ji Jue could react, the old man had already led him into the house and enthusiastically showed him the way.

After walking for a while, I looked back and could still see the old man waving enthusiastically.

Until in the middle of the winding road, I met Tong Hua, who was yawning as if sleepwalking.

Both of them were stunned.

"How did you get in?" Tong Hua stared in shock.

"Ah? Didn't they say that anyone can come in?" Ji Jue was bewildered, and glanced at the door behind him that he could no longer see: "The doorman let me in and even showed me the way."

"Which doorman?" Tong Hua's expression was stiff.

"That's the one wearing a vest, shorts and flip-flops. He's in such good spirits."

"..."

Tong Hua's expression suddenly became more complicated and difficult to describe.

"Is there a possibility..." She took a deep breath and asked helplessly, "The energetic old man at the door you mentioned... is my great-grandfather?"

Then, in the silence, it was Ji Juema's turn.

"Your grandfather?"

"Correct."

"It's the old man from the Tong family?" His eyes began to twitch: "Are you sure?"

Tong Hua asked quietly, "Do you think that in the Tong family mansion, besides Grandpa, anyone else would dare to wander around in a vest, shorts and flip-flops?"

"..."

Ji Jue was silent for a long time, and after a while, he could only say: "You are really energetic."

A great man like Tong's grandfather, he goes to work as a doorman at the door of his own house. What the hell is going on?

Why are you bringing something funny with you!

At this point, I can only be thankful that I didn't start with "that damn Xu Chaoxian" when I was chatting just now...

After all, he was a strong man of the Taiyi system. Ji Jue did not dare to whisper behind his back, nor dare to think about it. He could only rack his brains to praise Taigong in front of Tong Hua, saying that he was heroic and unconventional, approachable and simple, and that he was truly a rare hero, worthy of admiration and respect as endless as the crossing of the Nandu River.

It was not until he suddenly tripped without warning while walking that he shut up obediently.

"sign?"

After hearing the whole story from Ji Jue, Tong Hua understood, "I understand.

Recently, Tong Zhiwu's equipment is being remade. I don't know where I found this awesome guy. He has been busy for a long time. He is in Uncle Zhao's workshop at the back."

Ji Jue's eyes lit up: "That should be it."

"Are you sure?" Tong Hua was skeptical. "I heard that he likes to show off, with his nose up to the sky. If you go over like this, you'd better not be turned away."

"That's impossible."

Ji Jue shook his head decisively: "I am actually best at dealing with craftsmen. Most people think that craftsmen are aloof, but that's an illusion. In fact, everyone is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. As long as we open our hearts and increase our understanding of each other, there is nothing we can't talk about."

Then, five minutes later, he saw a gloomy face at the door of the workshop.

As ugly as it is.

The young apprentice didn't know how long he had been waiting here. His slightly swollen face was full of anger and impatience.

Like Ji Jue, he used a crutch, but unlike Ji Jue's mercury cane which was now used as a tool box, he was a real disabled person with a plaster cast on his right leg.

When he saw Ji Jue, his eyelids started twitching wildly.

Subconsciously gritted my teeth.

"Ji Jue..."

He squeezed out a sound from between his teeth, as if he was going to rush over and eat him alive in the next moment.

Tong Hua, who was leading the way, was also stunned for a moment. She glanced at the other party, then at Ji Jue, and became more and more suspicious: "Cold on the outside, warm on the inside? Are you sure that your craftsmen are cold on the outside, warm on the inside?"

"Isn't this just not opening up yet?"

Ji Jue shook his head, strode forward, and enthusiastically grabbed the other person's hand.

Mainly the hand holding the crutch.

Shake it vigorously.

"Hello, hello. It's our first meeting. Is there any misunderstanding?"

He asked curiously, "What's your name, brother?"

The man on crutches who was being dragged and swung wildly staggered and nearly fell to the ground. He was about to explode, but when he heard the words, his face suddenly became uglier, and his face turned darker, with bursts of blood red in the iron blue.

"Misunderstand?"

The apprentice on crutches was so angry that he almost laughed: "Didn't you break my leg? There is no misunderstanding! Why are you pretending!"

Ji Jue was stunned for a moment and looked at him for a long time.

His eyes focused on his legs.

I was confused for a long time.

The main reason is that he usually doesn't leave many people alive when he attacks, so when he suddenly encounters a victim, he won't be able to react at all.

Until finally, a flash of inspiration came to me and I suddenly realized it.

"I remember now, you are that person!" Ji Jue slapped his head, "When we were at the Quancheng outpost before, the one in the association lounge... that person? Zhou... Zhou..."

"Zhou Cheng!!!"

Zhou Cheng's eyes were red, and he could not bear the humiliation any more. If it weren't for the wrong occasion and his leg not being healed yet, he would have pounced on this guy and fought him to the death.

Ever since he was sent back to the workshop by his grandfather, he had been thinking about it day and night, tossing and turning, racking his brains to find a chance to take revenge.

I imagined the scene of meeting each other again countless times.

But I didn’t expect that less than half a month later, Ji Jue had even forgotten who he was!

In fact, if it weren't for the vicious arrow from Mao that played a role in beating Lao Deng, Ji Jue wouldn't even remember his last name.

When the enemies met at this moment, only Zhou Cheng was left with eyes full of jealousy, and he suddenly looked even more humble and miserable.

He wanted to say something, but his body suddenly stiffened.

It was as if I heard a scolding in my ears.

He gasped violently for a long time, staring at Ji Jue's face.

He looked away angrily.

"follow me."

He leaned on his crutches, turned around and walked to the door, "Grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time."
