Chapter 20: Mage Practitioners Association (this chapter is free)

Yong Bowen squeezed into Aliyun's hospital bed and slept until nine o'clock the next morning before waking up. By this time, the doctor had already come and reexamined Liyun and confirmed that her injuries were no longer serious and she could be discharged.

.

After Yong Bowen helped Aliyun go through the discharge procedures, the first thing he did was naturally take his girlfriend home to recuperate.

Ai Liyun's parents happened to be at home, and they were naturally unhappy when they saw their precious daughter getting hurt after not seeing her for a day. Ai's mother held her sweet daughter in her arms, interrogated her with tears in her eyes, and even complained about why she didn't call home.

, by the way, I lamented that girls are outgoing. When my daughter grows up, she no longer cares about her family. She even breaks her foot and doesn’t tell her parents. The father of the Ai family can’t hold his daughter and say thoughtful words like her mother, so he has to hold on.

Yong Bowen interrogated and asked in detail how his daughter was injured, how she was treated after the injury, her clinical manifestations and other details. His tone and eyes were as if he suspected that the idle boy in front of him was the culprit of his daughter's injury.

Fortunately, based on their years of experience, the two of them had already anticipated the situation before them, and they had already reconciled all their confessions on the road. In particular, Aliai carefully recounted everything that happened after she was knocked down yesterday, including

I heard from John Wang about the part that took her to the hospital when she was in a coma, and told Yong Bowen everything in detail, so that he could change the protagonist of the hero's rescue of the beauty to himself, so as to increase his favorability in the eyes of the two elders.

and trust.

The father of the Ai family also grew up watching Yong Bowen. After interrogating his daughter about the injury, he had to lecture him about Yong Bowen's employment. He patiently advised the kid in front of him who was trying to abduct his daughter that he must first have a share.

Only a good job can support your future wife. Don't do those things that only magicians can do all day long. Be down-to-earth and don't be too ambitious. Ai's mother is a teacher, and Ai's father has lived together for a long time, so there will inevitably be a problem of being close to the best and the worst.

, his training was like a surging river, and his attitude was patient, meticulous, and persuasive. It was as if he was trying to save Yong Bowen as a young man who had fallen into disgrace.

The cross-examination and interrogation lasted for a full hour, and it was not until the Ai family's mother and daughter came out of the room that the Ai family's father finally stopped talking.

Aliyun couldn't bear it when she saw Yong Bowen sweating profusely, face green and pale, sitting there looking like he was about to faint, so she said: "Xiaowen, aren't you going to have a job interview soon? Come on, don't do it."

I'm late. By the way, come over for dinner tonight and buy me some grilled chicken wings."

When Yong Bowen heard this sentence, he jumped up from the sofa and said, "Okay, Uncle Ai, Aunt Ai, Sister Xiaoyun, you can have a good rest, I'm leaving."

Wandering around indoors, others had already rushed out and disappeared without a trace.

Cotton, who was unfortunately abandoned by his owner on the sofa, flicked his tail in aggrieved manner and let out a meow.

Ai's father looked at his daughter suspiciously and asked, "Is he really going to interview for a job?"

Aliyun sat on the sofa, held Qianmian in her arms, gently played with the black cat's ears, lowered her head and said: "I lied to him yesterday that I was going to get married. He was a little anxious and agreed to interview me for a job.

If I hadn't broken my leg, he would have been working at Twin Towers Culture Company by now."

"Xiao Ai still has a way." Ai's mother said with a smile, "How about waiting for him to come back in the evening, and your dad and I will make a show to increase his sense of crisis?"

"It's useless." Aliyun grabbed Cotton's ears and raised her head in confusion, "He already saw a ghost yesterday."

"What?" The Ai family couple screamed at the same time, and then looked at each other.

It took a while for Ai's father to ask: "How is this possible? You and Cotton have been following him all day long. Which ghost dares to come close?"

"That was not a normal ghost, but the breath-taking ghost that possessed people. It came with an old gentleman who went the wrong way. I couldn't do anything at the time, so I could only follow him quietly and catch the ghost.

room so that the whole process would not be leaked." Aliyun sighed, "After that, I pretended to be scared to deceive him, and he finally agreed to let me go to see the job, but unexpectedly, I fell again

He was injured... When he rushed to the hospital at night, the yin energy on his body was frighteningly heavy. Something must have happened again. Is this really an unstoppable fate? "

Ai's father's face suddenly changed, he became furious, clapped his hands, and shouted: "This brat, when I saw the way he hesitated and his eyes flickered when he spoke just now, I suspected that it was not the hospital he sent you to, but he actually dared to lie to me.

Look, I'm not doing well tonight..."

"Dad..." Aliyun couldn't laugh or cry. She really couldn't understand what her father was thinking. He ignored the more important things, but he lingered on such insignificant issues.

"Yes, yes, he dares to lie to us now. If he marries Xiaoyun in the future, he might make up some lies." Ai's mother repeatedly agreed and rolled up her sleeves, "I haven't beaten him in several years.

I'm going to get over this brat, I have to spank his butt into eight pieces tonight."

"Mom!" Aliyun angrily pulled Mian Mian's ears hard, causing Mian Mian to scream in pain.

"Okay, okay, my daughter is heartbroken about her boyfriend. Mom just doesn't want to spank him. Besides, when the child gets older, he won't be spanked like he was when he was a child." Ai's mother saw the anger on her daughter's face and quickly changed her words. At the same time,

Kicked my husband.

"Yes, yes, let him go this time." Ai's father immediately understood the leader's intention, then changed his tone and said with a smile, "My good daughter, don't be angry."

"What are you doing?" Aliyun finally ran away, stood up and shouted, "Xiaowen saw a ghost, didn't you hear it?"

Ai's father nodded repeatedly, "I heard it. Once or twice in a while, nothing will happen. By the way, you should deal with that ghost."

"The poison in the ghost is about to take shape. Xiaowen melted the ghost and the poison together." Aliyun weakly sat back on the sofa, "What I'm worried about is the period from yesterday afternoon to evening. Alas, the cotton...

, it would be great if you could tell us what happened."

The scolded black cat buried its head in its paws in embarrassment, protecting its tortured ears, and did not dare to make a sound.

"It should be fine. After all, Cotton has always been by his side, unless it's the kind of Feng Shui formation in the west..." Ai's father touched his chin hesitantly and said, "However, this matter is really weird to say, considering you

How could your skill be injured by a fall?"

"The situation at that time was very strange..." Aliyun frowned, "I suspect someone is playing tricks."

"Now that Xiaowen has encountered a ghost, what should we do now?" Ai's mother finally asked the key question.

"It's easier to deal with. How about eradicating the trouble once and for all like I proposed before!" The father of the Ai family showed a murderous look on his face, with a fierce look in his eyes. He took out a golden needle from his arms and held it up high, "Seal his...

"

"You want to kill Xiaowen!" The two tigresses went crazy at the same time, staring fiercely at the middle-aged man who had made the bad idea.

Cold sweat immediately broke out on the middle-aged man's back, "Uh... I'm just making a suggestion. If it doesn't work, then let's think of other ways."

Naturally, Yong Bowen didn't know about the discussion between the three members of the Ai family. He hurriedly escaped from the Ai family, called a taxi, and went straight to the Mage Practitioners Association according to the address left by Luo Wanlan.

The Master Practitioners Association is located in the South District of Spring City, in the middle section of Silin Street.

This is the most prosperous area in the entire Spring City, with many high-rise buildings and densely packed shops. A street-facing shop of more than ten square meters can often be sold for more than 500,000 yuan, which is definitely a prime location.

When Yong Bowen heard the address given by Luo Wanlan, he couldn't believe his ears. Whether it was movies, TV novels, stories or Taoist classics, most of the magicians mentioned were hiding in the mountains and old forests, as if they didn't dare to see anyone.

After all, whether they are Taoist or Buddhist masters, catching ghosts, exorcising evil spirits, and subjugating demons are just side jobs to increase their income and attract believers. Their real main business is to practice themselves.

To become an immortal or a Buddha, the noisy red method attracts many people, which is definitely not conducive to practice.

But this Mage Practitioners Association actually has its headquarters located in a bustling business district, which is really unexpected.

After squeezing out of the dense traffic, the taxi stopped on the street. Yong Bowen got out of the car and looked up. In front of him was a towering building. It was conservatively estimated to be over a hundred floors. The entire building's exterior was decorated with glass.

Decorated with wooden materials, shining brightly in the sun, a line of large characters stretches along the outer wall from the roof to above the entrance door, "Wonderland Cultural Communication Center on Earth".

"This is it." Yong Bowen originally thought that even if the headquarters of the Mage Practitioners Association was located in the downtown area based on the principle of being hidden in the city, it should be more low-key. He never thought that it would be such an arrogant high-rise building. He

He looked up at the tall building in front of him and stood blankly on the side of the street, attracting the sneer eyes of passers-by from time to time. Some of them laughed and said, "Where does this country bumpkin come from? He has never even seen a tall building. How can he be scared?"

Is it like this?"

Yong Boyi calmed down and was very curious about this high-profile mage practitioner association, so he walked into the building. As a result, he had just pushed the glass revolving door into the building, and had just stopped in the center of the hall. Before he could find it, he

When someone asked how to find Luo Wanlan, two security guards came up and politely stopped her, "Sir, please show me your ID."

"Document?" Yong Bowen scratched his head in confusion, "What certificate?"

One of the security guards looked at Yong Bowen with disdain and said disdainfully: "Work permit, VIP card, invitation letter, anything is fine. This is a unit not open to the public, not just any country bumpkin can come in."

It turned out that when the two of them were inside the door, they had already seen Yong Bowen standing outside the building with his head up and staring blankly. They also thought that this was a country bumpkin who appeared out of nowhere. As soon as they saw him pushing the door open and coming in, they stepped forward.

Stop it, say nothing to let this kind of bumpkin come in and tarnish this noble and elegant place.

Luo Wanlan didn't say at that time that he needed an ID to enter, but he didn't even bring his ID card. Yong Bowen couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "I didn't bring any ID."

When the two security guards heard this, they were still polite, but they immediately darkened their faces and said, "You can't enter without documents. Please leave immediately."

Yong Bowen saw that the two of them had a tendency to fight, and quickly said: "I made an appointment with Luo Wanlan, she works here."

"How could Manager Luo know someone like you?" A security guard said with a sneer, "What kind of virtue is it for you to show yourself without peeing in the urine? Come on, or we will call the police."

Yong Bowen looked down at himself, and then he noticed that the clothes he was wearing were still the same as yesterday. There were too many things going on today, and he escaped from Ai's house in such a hurry that he didn't have time to change clothes. Now his clothes are dirty and wrinkled.

Not to mention Baba, there was also a strong smell of sweat, so it was no wonder that the security guard looked down on him.

"If I had known, I would have left Luo Wanlan's phone number." Yong Bowen thought with some frustration, unwilling to conflict with the two security guards, so he had to turn around and walk out.

Two security guards followed closely behind him, watching him as if they were guarding against thieves. They were probably worried that they would not take the country bumpkin out personally.

"Hey, Brother Yong, you're here too."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded from ahead.

Yong Bowen, who was walking forward despondently, looked up and saw the rosy-faced Liu Yi walking towards him with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.

"Mr. Liu, how come you..." As soon as Yong Bowen said these words, he felt that he was too stupid to ask. Since Liu Yi is a genuine Feng Shui master, he must also be a member of the Master Practitioners Association.

Liu Yi enthusiastically stepped forward and took his hand, saying: "We are at least half of the same party. Of course I have to come here. Do you want to leave after you finish your work? If there is nothing urgent, just wait for me for a while and go out together.

Let’s have a meal and discuss Mr. Fei’s business.”

Yong Bowen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I didn't get my work done. Isn't it because I didn't have documents and was kicked out?"

"You don't have a certificate?" Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, looking a little surprised, but he quickly came back to his senses, "When do you need a certificate to enter and exit here?" He looked at Yong Bowen up and down as he said it, and laughed with sudden realization.

, "Brother, after all, this is a high-end business district. Why didn't you change your clothes when you came out?"

Yong Bowen explained: "I had something to do at the moment and the time was too tight, so I didn't have time to change it." As for the embarrassing incident of being interrogated by his future father-in-law for several hours and so scared that he ran away, of course he would not tell it stupidly.
