I have a little bit of talent

There are some rules for giving tips when watching a juggling performance. Generally, you give a tip at the beginning or the end. If you think the juggling show is exciting and to your liking, you can give a tip in the middle, but it will never be too much.

After all, Xie Cheng was still young, and had been dazzled by the acrobatics he had seen. After each performance, he would give out a few copper coins. Only after the performance was over did he realize that all the copper coins he had on him had been given away as rewards.

These copper coins were what I had saved up over many days. I felt really sad to spend them all in an instant.

Fang Mu was a little amused and said, "It's okay, it's okay. When you go back, just tell your mother that you treated me to delicious food and fun things. Isn't this candied haws you treated me to?"

Xie Cheng refused and said sternly, "That won't do. This candied haws is only two copper coins. It's only right for Uncle Fang to treat me when he takes me out to play."

"I spent all the money on tips myself. It's reasonable for my mother to scold and beat me. But I would feel uneasy if I put the blame on Uncle Fang."

Hearing this, Fang Mu felt warmed in his heart and felt that this kid was interesting.

"Okay, I'll ask your mother for mercy and make sure you don't get beaten or scolded."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Fang."

Fang Mu put Xie Cheng down from his shoulders, then took his hand and continued walking.

The morning passed in a flash. After watching the acrobatics, the two went to a teahouse to listen to storytelling, watched a few old men playing chess under the locust tree, and went to a famous dessert shop in the city to eat dessert before returning to Xie's house.

Xie Cheng was young after all, and he was full of energy while playing and didn't feel tired. But now he was a little unable to walk on the way back. He was too embarrassed to let Fang Mu hold him in his arms or carry him on his back like he was watching a circus, so his pace was indeed getting slower and slower.

Seeing this, Fang Mu's heart moved, and then he exerted a little force with his right hand, and a stream of true energy flowed from the qi sea in his dantian to his palm and into Xie Cheng's hand.

Just when Xie Cheng was about to be unable to walk and was about to ask Fang Mu for help, he felt a warm current coming from Fang Mu's palm, entering his body and naturally driving the blood circulation throughout his body. In an instant, all his fatigue disappeared and he became full of energy again.

Xie Cheng looked at Fang Mu curiously and said, "Uncle Fang, are all you practitioners so powerful? If only I had such skills, I wouldn't feel tired even if I read a lot of books."

"Practicing cultivation can indeed make things much easier for people. If you embark on the path of cultivation in the future, you will definitely be able to do it."

Fang Mu said affirmatively.

Xie Cheng didn't reply and his mood suddenly became depressed.

"You are too young now. The important thing is to study hard. You can start practicing only after your body and bones are fully grown. Otherwise, it will do more harm than good." Fang Mu knew what this kid was thinking. Fortunately, his behavior was similar to Fang Zheng's, so Fang Mu was willing to give him a chance.

"Wait a few years, and I'll introduce you to a teacher. It'll depend on whether you can catch his eye."

"Really?" Xie Chengmeng raised his head, his face full of surprise.

"Of course, it's the puppy who's lying!"

"Uncle Fang, you're joking. It's impossible for a human to turn into a dog."

Fang Mu suddenly felt that this child was not cute anymore.

When the two of them returned to the door of Tongbao Commercial Bank, Fang Mu only let Xie Cheng go home by himself, but he did not go in.

Xie Cheng also knew that Fang Mu was going to a banquet, so he stood at the door and waved goodbye to Fang Mu. He only went in and went home after seeing Fang Mu turn around.

……

Kelaiju is located in the south of Huaicheng, some distance away from Xie's residence. Fang Mu had already inquired about the exact location in the morning, and without stopping, he soon arrived at the door of Kelaiju.

There were two people waiting in front of the door, one was Boss Xie whom he had just met in the morning, and the other was Lu Chen.

"Brother Fang is finally here. My wife told me that Brother Fang should take our son out to look after him this morning." Boss Xie bowed and smiled.

"This child is usually very sensible, I hope he won't trouble Brother Fang."

Boss Xie was very happy when he knew that his son went out with Fang Mu, and he wished that the relationship between the two could be better.

"No, Xiaocheng and I get along well. I also like to play, so we can play together."

"That's good, Brother Fang, Lord Lu, I have booked a private room on the third floor, let's go in first and talk."

"Thank you for the money, boss. We are looking forward to eating delicious food."

Although he had already eaten a lot of snacks and desserts in the morning, Fang Mu couldn't help himself at the thought of tasting the royal chef's cooking.

The three of them then walked in and went up to a private room on the third floor.

"Mu Ge'er, I checked a lot of files in the government office last night and found some clues."

After the three of them sat down, the waiter brought a pot of tea, and then Lu Chen, who had been silent until then, began to speak.

Lu Chen had changed out of his official attire and was now wearing a black robe. He looked a little haggard, and it was obvious that he had not gotten enough rest after checking the files last night.

"Brother Lu, you have worked hard. I also gained something last night. Let's not talk about this for now. Let's eat first."

Fang Mu patted Lu Chen on the shoulder, thinking that this guy was really serious and capable!

"Yes, yes, serve the food first. Let's eat first and then talk about other things."

Although Boss Xie didn't know what the two were talking about, he knew it was a serious matter since it involved official files. Thinking of the incident at Luoxia Mountain Range, he had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to ask. He just urged the waiter to serve the dishes.

Soon, more than a dozen dishes and a jar of wine were placed on the table for the three people.

The dishes all looked great, and even the plating was exquisite. The wine hadn't even been opened yet, but a strong aroma was already wafting from it, and it was obviously a top-quality wine.

"It's really the work of the royal chef. The fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The seasoning is just perfect. It's delicious."

Fang Mu picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, praising it greatly.

"If Brother Fang likes it, you can come and eat more often when you are in Huaicheng. Lord Lu should also try it soon."

Boss Xie greeted the two of them with a smile on his face.

Although there are a lot of dishes, the portion is not that big. Besides, Fang Mu, a foodie, is here.

Soon, the dishes on the table were all gone, most of which went into Fang Mu's mouth. Lu Chen and Boss Xie only tasted a little, and then watched Fang Mu pick up his chopsticks and quickly finish the dishes.

Even the jar of good wine was drunk by Fang Mu, which made Lu Chen and Boss Xie stare at him in amazement.

"Brother Fang, are you enjoying your meal? Do you want to order a few more dishes?"

Seeing Fang Mu finally put down his chopsticks, Boss Xie was still worried that he had not entertained him well enough and Fang Mu had not eaten enough.

"I'm full. People who practice cultivation have big appetites. I'm sorry to have embarrassed Boss Xie."

Fang Mu waved his hands repeatedly. With his level of cultivation, he would just treat ordinary food as nothing even if it was several times more. But it would be really rude to eat any more.

Lu Chen also had a strange look on his face, thinking to himself:

"This is how he looks like a parasite. It seems the rumors are not completely false."

Boss Xie called the waiter to clean the table and put the tea back on the table. Then the three of them began to chat while drinking tea.

"I checked the files yesterday and found that the public security in Huai City is very good. It has been peaceful for many years. There are indeed many cultivators, but they are under the supervision of the government and dare not do evil at will."

"On the contrary, in the villages and towns outside this city, people have been missing from time to time in the past two years."

"I think this matter should be started outside the city."

Lu Chen looked serious at this time.

"Since there are clues outside the city, we must investigate it, but this Huai City may not be unrelated." Fang Mu said firmly.

Judging from Mr. Huai’s reaction last night, he must know something, but he doesn’t want to say it.

Apart from the academy in the capital, there must be some big fish in Huai City that have not yet emerged, which can make Old Huai feel wary.

"Boss Xie, you have been in Huaicheng for many years. I would like to trouble you to do me a favor." Fang Mu turned his head and looked at Boss Xie who was listening attentively.

"Brother Fang, just tell me straight away. If it has anything to do with the robbers in the mountains, I will do my best to help."

"Please ask Mr. Xie to find out about the outsiders in Huaicheng in the past two years."

"Okay, I'll ask other friends when I get back. I hope I can help my brother."

Boss Xie quickly agreed. If he could help Brother Fang, their relationship would surely become closer.

"Brother Lu, you are a government official after all. Although you can check the files, you are in the open and quite conspicuous. Boss Xie was born and raised in Huaicheng. The information he has found out must be somewhat different from what you have found out."

"Tomorrow we will go to the Iron Fist Gate outside the city to see Brother Tieshan and his men. Maybe we can gain something."

Lu Chen slapped his forehead and said, "That's right. The Iron Fist Sect is not far from Huaicheng. Tieshan and you have a life-long friendship. He is trustworthy. You might as well go and ask him."
