The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 82: Mystical Arts Association
Gu Qingyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you talking about? The door is already open."

Huo Xingchen looked at the unchanged wall and asked, "Where did the door come from?"

"Well... the mortal body can't see it." Gu Qingyin grabbed Huo Xingchen's arm with her backhand, pulled it forward lightly, and pushed him towards the wall effortlessly.

In an instant, Huo Xingchen lost control of his body and crashed into the wall. He subconsciously closed his eyes, but the expected pain did not come.

It felt like I had hit a thin film, and I broke free with a little force. Then there was a sudden noise in my ears.

Huo Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously opened his eyes with a look of shock.

There are countless red lanterns floating in the air, floating up and down, lighting up the night sky. Below are ancient buildings, many people coming and going on the road, and there are very down-to-earth stalls on the roadside.

The stall owner was sitting on a small stool with a cloth in front of him, and some strange things placed there in a very casual manner.

Huo Xingchen looked around a few times, but didn't recognize any of them.

"What are you standing there for? Come this way."

Gu Qingyin pushed him and walked into the crowd with Liu Ergou. Huo Xingchen hurriedly followed, his head turning left and right uncontrollably, his eyes full of curiosity.

Especially when he accidentally saw someone flying through the air on a sword.

Huo Xingchen's mouth suddenly opened into an "O" shape.

“People can actually fly!”

Gu Qingyin glanced at him lightly and said, "In the entire Xuanshu circle, there are only a few people who can fly. You are quite lucky."

Huo Xingchen had stars in his eyes, "Can you fly?"

Gu Qingyin rolled her eyes, "Of course I won't."

Huo Xingchen: "...Then what are you proud of?"

Gu Qingyin reflected for a moment, "Am I proud?"

Liu Ergou nodded impartially, "A little bit."

Gu Qingyin snorted, "What's the good of being able to fly? You're just a sitting duck."

Huo Xingchen curled his lips, "If you can't eat the grapes, you say they are sour."

"That's wrong." Liu Ergou shook his head and said, "In the Dharma Ending Age, it is almost impossible to break free from gravity and fly by one's own ability. Those who can fly are all relying on magic tools passed down from their families. If you can't control it well, you might as well keep your feet on the ground."

"What if we can control it well?" Huo Xingchen asked relentlessly.

Liu Ergou: "Well... so far, no one has been able to control it well."

Huo Xingchen didn't believe it, "The one who just passed by was flying very well."

Gu Qingyin couldn't stand it any longer and slapped him on the forehead, "Flying is not as fast as running, what's the good of it? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, not only do you look stupid, but also make us embarrassed by following you."

Huo Xingchen shut up angrily, obviously unconvinced, and then followed the two of them all the way without saying a word.

Gu Qingyin also walked and looked, "Not much has changed." The place is still the same, but the people who set up the stalls have changed.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ergou laughed and said, "It's been twenty years. Even if things weren't going well for me, I wouldn't have come back to set up a stall. The stall owner has changed twice." If you tell others about setting up a stall with his apprentices, people will laugh to death.

After passing through the busy streets, the three of them turned into a small alley, which was only two meters wide. After a few minutes, they came out of the alley and saw a very imposing modern building in front of them.

Gu Qingyin was confused. "Wasn't it originally a quadrangle and an octagonal building? Who changed it into this?" She looked at the high-tech building in front and the quaint commercial street in the back. "Doesn't this look awkward?"

"It's awkward, but there's nothing we can do." Liu Ergou sighed, "Three years ago, during the president selection meeting, the two candidates fought each other and the entire octagonal building collapsed. After the new president took office, he renovated the headquarters into this state." Gu Qingyin's mouth twitched, "Who is the new president? Do I know him?" He is so willful.

"You probably don't know this young man who only rose to prominence ten years ago." Liu Ergou said, "The president is Tuoba Yan, he's only in his early thirties this year, but he's very powerful."

Gu Qingyin really didn’t know him. She smiled and said, “The name you gave him sounds a bit like Long Aotian.”

Liu Ergou was confused, who is Long Aotian?

Huo Xingchen sneered. Who is worthy of comparing with Long Aotian?
As they talked, the three of them entered the building.

As soon as I entered the hall, a white shadow floated over.

Huo Xingchen tensed up his whole body reflexively, and he subconsciously made a gesture with his fingers. Strands of lightning condensed at his fingertips. Just as he was about to launch an attack, he was held down by Gu Qingyin.

Liu Ergou also hurriedly said: "Don't be nervous, it's just the front desk reception."

Huo Xingchen looked confused. What the hell is this?

"I was scared to death." Bai Ying made a shrill voice with an echo, "I thought I was going to change my body again."

Huo Xingchen became alert again, this must be a fucking ghost!
Gu Qingyin had no choice but to hold his hand again, "Be good, don't get angry, there are usually no ghosts in the Xuanshu Association, if there are, they must be raised by the Heavenly Master."

Liu Ergou nodded repeatedly and introduced with a smile, "This is the president's pet, named Xiaobai. When he is bored, he will act as a guest receptionist on the first floor to guide the Tianshi who are not familiar with the layout of the building to do business."

Gu Qingyin looked at Xiaobai, and after a few seconds he suddenly realized, "So it's a soul beast."

Soul beast is the name given to animals that die and embark on the path of cultivation as their spirits.

Xiaobai exclaimed, "Ah!", "You actually saw my true identity. I said this paper man was in bad health and I would go find Tuoba Yan to replace him with another one." After saying that, a gust of wind came from nowhere and Xiaobai flew away with the wind.

Gu Qingyin rubbed her chin and said, "Paper figures as tall as a person are rare. President Tuoba is very thoughtful."

"Let's go up too." Liu Ergou said, "President Tuoba is on the top floor."

After entering the elevator, Gu Qingyin asked in confusion: "Why are there so few people here?"

"The time is wrong." Liu Ergou said: "Everyone is busy at night, and the daytime is the peak time for work."

When we reached the top floor and the elevator opened, the corridor was empty, with no one in sight.

"Isn't the president the only one on this floor?" Gu Qingyin guessed jokingly.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ergou nodded and said, "The whole floor is used by the president. He usually lives here."

Gu Qingyin couldn't help but sigh, not knowing whether to say that the president was dedicated or wasteful.

Twenty years ago, the president’s office was not even 20 square meters, but now, it is indeed different.

The corridor is covered with red carpet, with warm yellow wall lamps hanging on the walls on both sides. The double doors at the end are particularly eye-catching. If you don't know, you might think you have entered a high-end hotel.

Gu Qingyin frowned slightly, this was all nonsensical.

"Your president really knows how to enjoy himself." Huo Xingchen said bluntly, with a hint of sarcasm, "He wouldn't decorate the place where he lives like a palace, would he?"

Liu Ergou paused after hearing this, recalled the decoration style of the president's office, and couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.

Huo Xingchen was very surprised, "No way, is it really that exaggerated?"

Gu Qingyin pursed her lips and completely lost her good impression of the new president.
