Daoist, please stay

Chapter 70

Tao Xi was dumbfounded.

"Who?"

Tao Chiyan wished he could pry open his head to see the structure.

The same surname is Tao, how come when grandma gave birth to Tao Xi because of his advanced age, his brain was underdeveloped?Who did she follow for being so silly and sweet?

Tao Chiyan quickly glanced in the direction of the hall, and lowered his voice.

"Who else? The one named Xie! I already know about the relationship between the two of you!"

Tao Xi took a sip of orange juice and almost didn't spit it out, it flowed down the crevice of the fingers covering his mouth.

"What nonsense are you talking about?! Who did you listen to the rumors?"

Tao Chiyan looked disgusted.

"If I really spread rumors, you would react like this? Forget it, Tao Xi, since you were young, how many times have you ever calculated me before, and you generously admitted that I respect you a little bit."

Tao Xi wiped his hands in a hurry, and his whole body revealed a panic.

"Who did you hear that we were in love?"

Secret love... can it be considered love!

Tao Chiyan betrayed his teammates very naturally.

"Lin Zhimo, an employee of our company. She said that you two got together two months ago. But shouldn't you have just met Xie at that time? What? It was love at first sight?"

Tao Xi gritted his teeth.

Forest!Zhi!Mo!

Tao Chiyan was annoyed when he saw that he didn't pretend to be self-confident, and he really hated iron for being weak.

It's not that he thinks there's anything wrong with Second Uncle finding a man to be his partner. After all, he's been more open to this matter than anyone else in his family after studying in a corrupt country for a few years.

But...

"What do you like about him? It's fine if he's a mess, what's the matter with his high spirit? I didn't like him at first sight."

It's just a complaint, but Tao Xi was in a hurry.

"What's wrong with him? He's an orthodox closed disciple of the Xuanxiao Dao Sect, and he's extremely capable! What's wrong with being aloof? He has the capital of being aloof!"

Tao Chiyan hastily surrendered.

"Okay, okay, I said something wrong, I'm sorry. But tell me the truth, do you really like him?"

Seeing that his nephew looked serious and didn't look like he was just gossiping, Tao Xi forcibly put on the airs of an elder to save his respect.

"Why do you question me like that? Am I obliged to answer you?"

Tao Chiyan laughed angrily.

"Okay, no problem. I'm not qualified, right? Then I'll ask my dad to ask you later."

As he got up and was about to leave, Tao Xi hugged him from behind.

"Don't, Xiaoyan, what can we talk about!"

After several times of tugging, Tao Xi ran out of good words, and finally Tao Chiyan was willing to sit down and "talk" with him again.

"So do you really like him?"

Tao Chiyan's eyes were burning.

Although Tao Xi was shy, he bravely admitted it.

"Yes, I like him. But I..."

"Okay!" Tao Chiyan interrupted him and sighed.

"If you like it, there is nothing you can do. Even if the other party is worthless, as long as you like it, our Tao family can't afford it. At worst, I will spend money to support you."

Tao Xi was a little surprised.

"Xiaoyan, don't you...don't you hate him?"

Tao Chiyan was helpless.

"Then what can I do if you like him? Won't you be sad if you demolish him? I can't do this."

Tao Xi was really moved.

He and Tao Chiyan were only a few years apart in age, they were uncles and nephews in name, but they were actually two brothers who grew up together.

How old is he? Now Xiao Yan is like that older brother, protecting and accommodating him unconditionally.

"Xiaoyan... I thought..."

Tao Chiyan put one hand on his chin, and turned his face away unnaturally.

"Don't be too happy. I'm going to pass this level easily, and it's difficult for Dad and Grandpa. If you really want to be with Xie, first think about how to persuade them."

Tao Xi was overjoyed.

"So you didn't tell your dad about it?"

"Am I short-hearted? How can I report this kind of thing privately without your consent! I forgot the alliance agreement we made since we were young!"

Tao Xi took his nephew's hand and shook it firmly.

"Good brother! You are so loyal! In this way, you have the right to pretend that you don't know about this matter. When the matter is revealed, just help me hold your grandfather and stop beating me."

However, the reality is not always so satisfactory.

After finishing lunch with the Supreme Emperor, Tao Xi euphemistically expressed his desire to go back in the afternoon.

As expected, the old man was not happy.

He whimpered and said that his blood pressure went up, his heart felt uncomfortable, and so on.The appearance of Lai Lai chirping made Tao Xi very embarrassed.

He could only coax him to say whether he would leave or not, thinking in his heart that when his eldest brother and sister-in-law came back, he would find a chance to slip away!

In the afternoon, Zhao Qiyang finally replied to his message.

[Brother Zhao] [Mr. Tao, is it convenient now?Can we chat for a few words? 】

At that time, Tao Xi was practicing calligraphy with the old man.

When Tao Haishan was young, he acted vigorously, had a hot temper, and had little patience.

The middle-aged man lost his beloved wife, was depressed, suddenly lost his life goals, and was in a very bad state.

An old friend introduced a master to him, and the other party advised him to calm down and cultivate himself to maintain his physical and mental health.

So he retired to the second line early and handed over the management of the group to his eldest son. Tao Haishan became obsessed with the three-piece set of Lao Tou Le: calligraphy, chess, and fishing.

In the past few years, whenever Tao Xi didn't go out to run around at home, he had to serve the old man with pen and ink, and blow high-level rainbow farts by the way.

Seeing Zhao Qiyang's message, Tao Xi pretended to be natural and said.

"Dad, I have a client who wants to consult something, I'll go out and make a call first."

It's too high.

Xiao Xizi hurried out of the study, slipped back to her room and locked the door, walked to the small balcony, and connected the voice call.

"Hello, Daoist Zhao."

Zhao Qiyang still speaks so gently and slowly.

"Mr. Tao, sorry to bother you, I want your WeChat account from Qinglan."

Tao Xi guessed it.Apart from Xie Qinglan, is there any other way for the two of them to know each other?This is simply nonsense.

But the other party is Senior Brother Xie Qinglan, so Tao Xi naturally has a little more affection and patience.

"You're welcome, what can I do for you?"

Zhao Qiyang's gentle personality is actually a bit anxious in terms of communication.

I couldn't get to the point when I spoke, and it took me a long time to get to the point.

"You know that Qinglan is going back to Yueqing Mountain, right?"

Tao Xi answered cautiously.

"Well, he told me. He said that Master Zun was not feeling well, so he went back to have a look."

Zhao Qiyang was silent for a while.

In just a few seconds, Tao Xi was full of doubts.

"Daoist Zhao? Is there something wrong?"

Only then did Zhao Qiyang speak slowly.

"Although it is an internal matter of our Taoist sect, I heard that Mr. Tao and Qing Lan are not ordinary friends, but have a financial relationship, so I think it is better to say hello to Mr. Tao in advance."

Tao Xi had a bad feeling.

"If you have anything to say, Daoist Zhao, just say it."

Zhao Qiyang sighed on the other end of the phone.

"Then I'll just say it straight. In fact, our master, an old man, is not sick at all. He tricked Qinglan to go back."

Tao Xi was a little confused.

"What do you mean?"

"Although I am a little embarrassed, in fact, although I am a major disciple of the Xuanxiao Sect, I am not the best candidate to take over the mountain gate in the master's heart. My master is an old man, and the most important thing for me is my little brother Qinglan. For so many years, the master has not passed on Giving the seat to future generations is also waiting for the younger brother to become an adult and be able to take on the responsibility of supporting the Taoist temple. Originally, the throne should have been passed on to him in the past two years, but the younger brother is very playful, which made the master quite a headache. In the end, the master I compromised a step and said that I would let him go down the mountain to play for a while to kill off some wildness, and he can inherit the Taoist temple with peace of mind when he goes back."

Tao Xi felt more and more that things might not be good.

Sure enough, he listened to Zhao Qiyang continue.

"A while ago, my junior brother even called Master, saying that the game was almost done and he was going back. Master, the old man, was very happy, and waited for the junior brother to go back to the mountain, and he gave up the position of head. Who knew he suddenly I can't go back, I said I found a like-minded friend outside, and I want to start a business together... This friend, you are talking about Mr. Tao, right?"

Tao Xi felt very uncomfortable.

Although Xie Qinglan is an excellent heir cultivated by other people's Taoism, it is only natural to go back to inherit the Taoism.

But he himself said that he wanted to start a career outside.This kind of thing should always respect the wishes of the next person, right?

"So, you told me these are..."

"Mr. Tao, don't misunderstand me. I just want to say that Qing Lan himself doesn't know that Master is going to trick him to go back to inherit the Taoist temple. Maybe he will never come back this time. As his most important friend at the foot of the mountain, I think I have the right to know. I took the liberty to make this call today, and I also felt that it was a bit rude to keep Mr. Tao in the dark. So I hope that Mr. Tao can be prepared, and don’t misunderstand that Qinglan is playing tricks on purpose. you."

Tao Xi's mind was buzzing.

He didn't listen to what Zhao Qiyang said later.

Responded mechanically, hung up the phone mechanically.

Sitting mechanically on the rattan chair, looking at the scenery in the middle of the mountain.

Xie Qinglan went back this time... Will he really never come back again?

I can't get along with him like this in the future?

So what's the point of him starting this broken company? !

Just sat there in a daze like this, until Mama Lin broke into the door with a panicked crowd.

"My little ancestor! Why don't you respond? You're going to scare us to death!"

Tao Xi turned around blankly.

"Huh? Sorry, I didn't hear..."

Seeing that he really didn't seem to have any problems, Mama Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did you keep yourself in the room for so long? We all thought you were asleep. The young master and the young mistress are back. Let's go down and have dinner together."

It was only then that Tao Xi realized that the twilight was coming together, and it was already evening.

The phone is also turned off.

He hastily plugged in the charging cable and turned it on again.

Sure enough, there was information about Xie Qinglan!

[Qing Lan] [Tao Xi, can you come back today? 】

[Qing Lan] [It doesn't matter if you don't come back, just spend more time with Dad, we will have plenty of time to meet in the future. 】

[Qing Lan] [I have the train at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. 】

Tao Xi's eyes were hot, she grabbed her phone and ran outside.
