Chapter 68 The way of life lies in the lack of way
Unable to figure it out, Cheng Mai returned to his desk to check the information on the Twelve True Gods, only to find that there was very little information on the Internet, as if these people were fictitious in the first place.
Shen Luo said that the relationship between Shang Xingjian and the God of Wisdom is not a good one. If this is the case, he should not feel more and more familiar with him.
Cheng Mai held his chin and unconsciously looked at Shang Xingjian who was sleeping. After a moment, he suddenly came back to his senses, cursed himself as a nympho, and continued busy with his own affairs.
It must be because the businessman's profile is so good-looking. After all, good-looking people will always take advantage.
Before dawn, the sound of a car engine could be heard outside. Cheng Mai was in bed when she woke up. She frowned. Shang Xianjian was not in the room. He should have put her on the bed when he went out.
"You still have some conscience." Cheng Mai pinched his neck and looked up at the time, "Five-thirty? Are you here so impatiently?"
Cheng Mai changed her clothes and went out. The whole villa was still quiet. She could feel the cold air around her, but she didn't dare to get too close to her.
There may be Cheng Ying who wants to kill her.
Cheng Mai ignored these things. When she reached the escalator, there was no one downstairs. She leaned against the railing and looked up. Sure enough, she saw Shang Jian standing on the top of the glass roof.
"Boss, we're watching the sunrise." Cheng Mai greeted, "I want to watch it too."
Shang Xingjian stood with his hands behind his hands. When he heard this, he lowered his eyes and looked at Cheng Mai. The picture he saw was different from what Cheng Mai saw. He could see the evil spirits around Cheng Mai and could see the evil spirits surrounding her. The black energy made her even more visible, and she could even see the evil spirits that were attacking her.
And in the state surrounded by these evil spirits, she looked up and smiled and said to herself that she wanted to watch the sunrise.
The way of life lies in the lack of way.
Shang Xingjian smiled, squatted down and looked at her with lowered eyes, "There is no sunrise today, but if you beg me, I can show you what Qilin swallows the sun."
Cheng Mai was confused and thought of that drop of unicorn blood, "It turns out that the boss also needs props to use his ultimate move."
Shang Xingjian smiled and said nothing. Cheng Mai was already at his side when he raised his hand. The evil ghosts below were a little shocked by Shang Xingjian's ability, and even looked wary in their eyes.
No one told them that this mortal Taoist priest was so powerful!
One of the evil spirits suddenly looked at Cheng Ying, "Didn't you tell us that he was just a pretty boy who cheated money by eating soft food?"
"Yes, yes."
……
There was a quarrel downstairs, and Shang Xingjian could hear it clearly.
A pretty guy who cheats money by eating soft food?
Well, that's a good adjective, he likes it.
Cheng Mai was pulled by his arm to stand still. The dome was oval, so Cheng Mai needed to hold Shang Xingjian's arm to steady himself.
The sky is now gray and there is indeed no sunrise.
"Will it rain today?"
"Probably." Shang Xingjian raised his hand and set up a barrier in front of her.
Cheng Mai put his hand on it and pushed it. It couldn't be seen, but it was very strong.
It's like occupying the same high-altitude road with no obstructions on both sides. Compared with one with obstructions on one side, the obstructions always make people feel more at ease, even though the areas under their feet are always those areas.
Cheng Mai let go of the business slip and stood on the roof with peace of mind.
From the roof, you can see the entire villa area, and you can even see Qin Mai's home, but it's just the people who are too far away to see clearly. In the back garden, the gardener has arrived, a small team of about seven or eight people.
Several carts of roses had been placed on the ground, and someone was making plans for the garden.
Shang Xingjian was lying on the roof and took out a small table with fruits and pastries on it. "Give them some time to let them develop."
Cheng Mai was already used to this kind of scene. Even now that Shang Xingjian moved out a bed and lay down to sleep, she felt it was normal.
Just...
"Where did you get this snack?" Cheng Mai looked at the exquisite pastry. It was obviously a high-quality pastry from a pastry shop, the kind that could bankrupt an ordinary wage earner in one bite.
Shang Xingjian was lying lazily, holding a piece of peach blossom cake, "This? I went to a cocktail party last time, and those people only focused on drinking. In order to avoid waste, I put them all away."
Cheng Mai: "..." She knew it!
This is something a godless boss can do.
"No one should have seen it." She doesn't want anything else now, she just wants Xuanhe Technology to retain its dignity.
Shang Xingjian thought about it seriously, and finally told the truth, "Shen Yuanbai should have seen it. He looked at me several times that day, but I invited him from afar, but he ignored me and was rude."
Invite me from a distance and raise the pastries to others from a distance.
Cheng Mai looked at Shang Jian with an expressionless expression, "Don't forget that there is a Shang Jian who is similar to you between him and Qin Mai, and that child is very similar to you."
"Oh, no wonder, no wonder he hates me so much." Shang Xingjian suddenly realized that he had no sincerity at all.
Cheng Mai took a deep breath. He couldn't get angry with such a person early in the morning. It wasn't worth it.
Thinking this way, she felt much better. After sitting down, she picked up the pear cake and took a bite.
Shang Xingjian immediately asked: "How is it? It tastes pretty good. I preserved it in a vacuum. It has not changed in taste for more than a year."
"Cough cough cough..." Cheng Mai almost choked to death, and was fed a sip of water by Shang Xingjian in time before he swallowed the cake. "How long did you say? How long ago did you meet Shen Yuanbai?"
"About a year ago, maybe more, but this pastry has indeed not changed in flavor, so you can eat it without worry." Time is the most boring thing for Shang Xingjian, and he is too lazy to remember it.
"I didn't ask you about pastries, I asked you about Shen Yuanbai." Cheng Mai always felt that there was something she missed here, mainly because Shang Xingjian was unreliable.
Shang Xingjian clicked her tongue and continued to eat, "Is it because the pastries are not delicious, making you still think about that man?"
These words inevitably have some other flavor in them.
Cheng Mai tried his best to swallow the remains of the pastry and calmed his choked throat, "Have you known about Shen Yuanbai for a long time?"
"Or let me put it another way, you have been staring at Shen Yuanbai, just waiting to see what he is going to do?" It seems doubtful, but Cheng Mai can almost confirm that this is correct, otherwise Shang Xingjian would not go to any cocktail party for no reason. And specially attracted Shen Yuanbai's attention.
Shang Xingjian took out another bottle of wine, filled with wine, and looked at Cheng Mai with a smile, "This wine is called Dragon King Zui."
Cheng Mai didn't know why. Looking at the pomegranate red liquid in the crystal bottle, it looked like ordinary ginseng soaked wine, and it seemed that it just had a name that sounded awesome.
Just looking at it, Cheng Mai was suddenly shocked. The ginseng inside actually changed its appearance, like... a tendon.
Tendons?
The Dragon King is drunk?
Dragon tendon?
