Chapter 385: Speak the Truth to People and Speak Lies to Ghosts! [Subscribe]

Wei Hong stood by the door

In front of House No. 30, a female cultivator named Wen Menghan seemed to be constantly showing goodwill to Wei Hong.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, seeing Wen Menghan's behavior and beautiful and charming appearance, he might be fascinated and lost.

But Wei Hong instantly smelled something unusual, but although he was secretly alert in his heart, his face did not change at all.

"Hehe, don't bother me, don't bother me, it turns out that it's Fellow Daoist Wen in person!" Wei Hong also greeted with a smile on his face: "I am Wei Hong, Fellow Daoist Wen, have you just moved in? I wonder which room you live in?"

"Neighbors should really take care of each other."

As the saying goes, you should speak to people in a human way and to ghosts in a ghost way.

Under the circumstances of not knowing the details of the person in front of him, Wei Hong naturally pretended to greet him a few times, at least he couldn't offend him the first time he met him.

Wen Menghan also smiled and replied: "So it's Fellow Daoist Wei. Fellow Daoist is right. I just moved in the day before yesterday and live in Room 38."

"Room 38? They are indeed neighbors. We should visit each other more often in the future!" Wei Hong said politely.

However, the female cultivator Wen Menghan seemed to take it seriously. She immediately covered her mouth and smiled: "Then I will bother Fellow Daoist Wei more in the future."

"No, no, you are most welcome."

"Since you are welcome, Fellow Daoist Wei, why don't you invite me in to sit down? I came to visit you specially today."

Wen Menghan's eyes flashed slightly, and she took the opportunity to ask to go in and sit down.

Wei Hong seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then he said a little embarrassedly: "Haha, sorry, it's Wei's fault for not entertaining you well. Fellow Daoist Wen, please come in."

As he said that, he opened the door completely and made an invitation.

Wen Menghan was not polite at all, and walked in.

Wei Hong had no choice but to ask her to sit down, and then poured her a cup of tea.

After Wen Menghan sat down, she seemed to look at him casually, and after scanning the room, she looked at Wei Hong with a smile: "I wonder how long has Fellow Daoist Wei moved here?"

Wei Hong seemed to have not noticed Wen Menghan's behavior at all. After sitting down opposite her, he replied: "Wei has only moved here for more than a year, but Fellow Daoist He and others next to him have lived here for several years."

"Oh? I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Wei to have lived here for more than a year. Fellow Daoist and others are really wealthy."

"Alas, if it weren't too dangerous outside, I wouldn't be willing to live here."

"Five spirit stones a month, after paying the rent, I can hardly make ends meet. It's so hard for us casual cultivators!"

Taking advantage of this topic, Wen Menghan suddenly began to talk intentionally or unintentionally, and it was unknown whether she wanted to win Wei Hong's favor or to find a common topic.

If it wasn't the first time they met, Wei Hong might have believed what she said.

"Alas, who says it's not? After paying the rent every month, Wei has very little left." Wei Hong also complained.

Seeing this, Wen Menghan asked casually: "Is it the same for Fellow Daoist Wei? By the way, I don't know where Fellow Daoist Wei is from and where he makes a living?"

For casual cultivators, whether they join a hunting team or enter various workshops, they are indeed making a living.

Wei Hong didn't understand why she suddenly asked this, and a trace of vigilance rose in his heart. He replied: "Wei just became a cultivator by chance. Currently, I am doing some hard work in the talisman workshop and earning some hard-earned money."

He didn't tell his origins, but perfunctorily said something to avoid the main point.

"Talisman workshop? Is Fellow Daoist Wei a talisman painter?" Wen Menghan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Haha, I don't dare to be a talisman painter. Wei is just a small talisman painter apprentice!" Wei Hong waved his hand very modestly.

However, Wen Menghan seemed to be very interested and asked: "I heard that every talisman painter has a lot of wealth, and can earn a lot of spirit stones every month. Is that true, Fellow Daoist Wei?"

"How is it possible? This is all nonsense. I am just barely making ends meet. How can I have any wealth to speak of?" Wei Hong shook his head.

"Ah? Isn't that right? Fellow Daoist Wei, are you being modest?" A trace of doubt flashed across Wen Menghan's face, and she continued to ask: "By the way, since Fellow Daoist Wei is a talisman painter, I wonder if you can draw a first-level middle-grade talisman?"

Obviously, Wen Menghan didn't believe that Wei Hong was just a small talisman painter apprentice.

Wei Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was a little unsure of Wen Menghan's intentions.

Since he entered the door, Wen Menghan had been looking at his residence, and at the same time, he kept asking about Wei Hong's income, family background and situation, and seemed to be quite interested in these.

Wei Hong didn't know what her intention was, but he would not reveal a single word to such an unfamiliar person who seemed to have other intentions, and he became more alert.

He just smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist Wen, don't joke. I can't even draw a first-level low-grade talisman, how can I be qualified to draw a first-level middle-grade talisman!"

"Haha, fellow Daoist Wei is too modest!"

Wen Menghan smiled slightly, but there seemed to be a flash of disappointment in her eyes, as if she didn't get the result she wanted.

Wei Hong pretended to know nothing and just talked to her politely.

After a while, Wen Menghan looked around again, then said goodbye and left.

Looking at her leaving back, Wei Hong frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

The next day

Wei Hong had just gone out to the talisman workshop when he ran into He Yu who was also going out.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, are you ready to go to work?"

When He Yu saw Wei Hong going out, he immediately said hello.

After Wei Hong moved in, he often moved around with several neighbors, so they were quite familiar with each other.

Wei Hong responded with a smile: "Yes, fellow Taoist He too?"

"Haha, this is natural." He Yu smiled heartily, and then suddenly took two steps closer and asked in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist Wei, did a beautiful female cultivator named Wen Menghan come to visit yesterday?"

"Huh?"

Wei Hong looked surprised and couldn't help but look at He Yu: "Fellow Taoist He also knows? But she also visited you?"

"Hey, that's not all. She has visited almost all the tenants in this Grade C rental area."

A sneer appeared on He Yu's face, as if he could see that Wen Menghan's behavior obviously had other intentions.

"Have you visited them all?"

Wei Hong frowned slightly, his guard against Wen Menghan deepening. He asked He Yu directly: "What does fellow Taoist He know? You might as well tell Wei directly."

Since all the tenants in the Class C rental area have been visited by the female nun Wen Menghan, it is obviously not as simple as visiting their neighbors. There must be an unusual intention behind it.

It would be great if he could know the answer from He Yu.

He Yu saw that Wei Hong had understood what he meant, so he looked around, and then reminded him in a low voice:

"Fellow Daoist Wei, you'd better be careful. As far as I know, that woman Wen Menghan does not live alone, but lives with an old friend who is at the fifth level of Qi training."

"That person doesn't look like a good person, it's best for Fellow Daoist Wei not to provoke him!"
