921 The Return
After Zhang Xixian said this, Mr. Du's expression changed immediately.He silently glanced at Zhang Xixian, then turned to Fan Jiannan and said, "Jiannan, you and Feng Yuan should avoid it for a while. I have some things that I need to talk to him alone."

Fan Jiannan looked at him, nodded, and walked outside with Feng Yuan.After a full half an hour, Zhang Xixian came out from inside and left calmly.

Then Mr. Du also came out, his face became very heavy.

"Uncle, what's going on?" Fan Jiannan whispered.

Mr. Du shook his head and said, "I received a call just now, and my people picked up Longge. Let's go, we'll talk in detail after we get back." He sighed, bowed his head and got into the car.Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan also boarded the car with him.After returning to Mr. Du's hotel in Huayin, Fan Jiannan found that Long Ge was already waiting for them there.

"Professor Long, are you okay?" Fan Jiannan immediately greeted him.

"It's okay." Although Long Ge was a little depressed, it could be seen that he was not seriously injured.It's just that there is a circle of gauze wrapped around the bald head, which seems to be a little bruised.Seeing that Long Ge was fine, Fan Jiannan felt relieved. He turned to Mr. Du and said, "Uncle, who is this Zhang Xixian? What about Wu Huaisha's body he mentioned, and the golden silkworm Gu mother?"

After Mr. Du sat down, he said slowly, "I know who this Zhang Xixian is."

"He's from the Wu family?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"No, but he has something to do with Wu Huaisha from the Wu family. He should be Wu Huaisha's disciple." Mr. Du sighed, "Before Wu Huaisha left the Wu family and went to Europe There was a student, this Zhang Xixian. Later, there was some discord between Wu Huaisha and the European Witchcraft Federation, and he fled Europe again. However, he was found by Dracius. When he was dying, the Witchcraft Federation His body will be processed. It's a bit like brain death in medicine. Although the brain is unconscious, Wu Huaisha's body has been preserved. Because he is a member of the Wu family, he has no sense of magic power. There's something special about it. The Council of Witchcraft used to use his body for some kind of witchcraft divination for something like necromancy."

"So after the incident of XZ's number of days, Dragius himself and Wu Huaisha's remains were under the control of the Yishu Council." Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Yes. Wu Huaisha's body is now preserved in the Yishu Council, and Dracius is also under the control of the first director." Mr. Du said calmly, "As a student, he can't bear to see the teacher's body As this kind of meaningless witchcraft. So it is reasonable for him to want to go back to the burial. I agree with this. But the really tricky thing is the second condition he put forward."

"Golden silkworm Gu mother?" Fan Jiannan frowned, "What is this? Some kind of Gu insect?"

Mr. Du nodded and said, "Yes. Mrs. Li's Golden Silkworm Gu is cultivated with Golden Silkworm Gu Mother. This Golden Silkworm Gu Mother is like the mother body of Gu insects. After cultivation, it can produce golden silkworm Gu eggs."

"Is this kind of golden silkworm Gu mother special?" Feng Yuan asked in surprise.

"It's very special. The initial production of Golden Silkworm Gu can be said to be a coincidence. It was produced by the wrong operation of Gu masters in ancient times. But it is precisely because of this coincidence that the most powerful existence among Gu insects was born, causing A thousand-year-old witchcraft legend. And the Gu mother in Madam Li's hands can be said to be the last Gu mother in the world today." Mr. Du sighed.

"Why does Zhang Xixian want this thing?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Because this item originally belonged to his family. His surname is not Zhang, but Li." Mr. Du said calmly, "Ms. Li's surname is not Li, but her husband's surname is Li. According to their habits , she became a monk and followed her husband's surname, so it was changed to Li's surname. This golden silkworm Gu mother also belongs to the Li family."

"So, this Zhang Xixian comes from Mrs. Li's husband's family?" Fan Jiannan asked in surprise.

"Yes, their family is very old, and it can even be said that the history is not shorter than that of the Wushu people." Mr. Du said slowly, "Their surname comes from ancient Jiuli. It is a family of witchcraft in Miaojiang. Famous. After all, Mrs. Li is just a daughter-in-law of the Li family, and she is still a widow without any heirs. It makes sense for him to find the Gu mother that Mrs. Li wants to pass on home. But..."

"It's just that Mrs. Li may not be willing?" Fan Jiannan said with a faint smile.

Mr. Du smiled wryly, "This is where I'm in trouble. Madam Li is a person who doesn't take hard things, and is stubborn and extreme by nature. And she and her husband have made great contributions to the development of the Yishu Council. So even the first director sometimes has to give her some points. I have no way to ask her to hand over the golden silkworm mother who is regarded as life, so I can only leave it to the first director. Forget it Let’s not talk about it. Although his conditions are a little troublesome, but since he has the conditions, we can discuss further, and I think the problem will definitely be resolved.”

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "This is the best. Alright, uncle, since Long Ge is fine now. I think I should go back too. I traveled several provinces this trip."

Mr. Du nodded slightly.

Fan Jiannan took out the tortoise shell obtained from the orifice of Mount Hua, put it on the table, looked at Mr. Du and said, "Uncle, you should keep this thing away."

"It seems that you still decided to give the Luoshu tortoise shell to me." Mr. Du said with a smile, "Actually, I've always advised you to do so."

"Yes. I'm handing it over to you, but not the first director." Fan Jiannan smiled faintly.

Mr. Du smiled, "Is there any difference? If you think I will do something with these tortoise shells, I'm afraid you won't give them to me."

"Yes." Fan Jiannan said calmly. "I hand it over to you, first because I trust you, and second because you are my uncle. As for the first director, he doesn't take either of these two reasons."

"Okay. I'll also say a big word in front of you. The Yishu Council will never do anything that endangers others." Mr. Du looked at Fan Jiannan and said, "The existence of the Yishu Council is to coordinate between practitioners and practitioners." Between the conflicts of interests and contradictions between artificers and ordinary people. This is the original purpose of the establishment of the council, and it has always been the purpose. You should trust us."

Fan Jiannan waved his hands and said, "Uncle, I trust you. But I don't trust others."

"Well, I know that the misunderstanding between you and the first director is very deep." Mr. Du said helplessly, "But you also know that he is not good at dealing with people. Coupled with the fact that he lives alone for a long time, his personality is a little bit It's perverse and weird. But don't worry, I will take care of the next thing. When it's you, what are you going to do after the things here are over?"

"Of course I'm going back to Hong Kong to continue running my hexagram art studio." Fan Jiannan shrugged.

"Alright, although I very much hope that you will stay in the Yishu Council and help me handle the affairs of the Yishu Council. But I also know that your ambition is not here. Instead of asking you like this, it's better to wait for you to figure it out someday Come find me again." Mr. Du said with a slight smile.

Fan Jiannan laughed and said, "It seems unlikely. Compared with your big businesses, I prefer to run my own small shop."

At this time, Feng Yuan came over suddenly and whispered something in Fan Jiannan's ear.

Fan Jiannan was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at her and said, "Is this true?"

"Yes, Zhao Gongming's call." Feng Yuan nodded.

Mr. Du looked at them and frowned, "What's the matter? What's the matter with you?"

"No, it's just some trivial matters." Fan Jiannan said with some embarrassment, "It just so happens that we are also preparing to go back."

"If you need my help, just tell me." Mr. Du looked at Fan Jiannan and said.

Fan Jiannan laughed and said, "What can I do? Alright uncle, let's go back first."

Mr. Du nodded and said, "Okay, I won't send it off. Is Professor Long with you? Or should I send him off?"

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "Of course he is with me. I have troubled him so much this time, and I haven't thanked him properly yet."

Fan Jiannan, Feng Yuan, and Long Ge bid farewell to Mr. Du and returned to their original residence.The proprietress, sister Mei, has already returned.Fan Jiannan remembered the loss Zhang Xixian had caused in this small hotel, and offered a sum of money as compensation.Sister Mei was determined not to accept it, insisting that she was just doing Wang Song a favor, and that she would feel uncomfortable if she took the money.

Fan Jiannan knew her character, so he didn't force it.It's just that when you check out, you double the rent.

Feng Yuan quietly smiled while there was no one around, "You really want to save face."

"What's wrong?" Fan Jiannan smiled.

"Just now my uncle asked you what difficulties you have, why didn't you honestly say that you are already so poor that you are going bankrupt? Here you come to pretend to be generous again." Feng Yuan smiled and pressed his lips.

"Am I still going to talk about this?" Fan Jiannan frowned, "I remember that the Tianji Museum made a lot of money? Adding the previous savings, how could it be so messed up that there is no money?"

Feng Yuan glared at him and said, "You are ashamed to say that you earn a lot and spend more. In addition to the piece of land in Hong Kong that you bought earlier, how much money do you think you have? That piece of land is now Still circled there, nothing started to move."

Fan Jiannan slapped his head and smiled wryly, "Why did I forget about this. By the way, I remember that I still owe you a lot, right?"

"You just remembered now! The daily expenses in the Tianji Pavilion can't be maintained now. If Zhao Gongming is not helping you pay the bills, you won't even have a place to stay after you go back." Feng Yuan said bitterly, "If you want Don't want me to remind you that I am your biggest creditor now?"

"Uh." Fan Jiannan smiled wryly, "You know I don't care much about money, this time it's really embarrassing. Not to mention anything else, I have done too many chores during this period, and I have to work hard to make money when I go back .”
