Chapter 1187: The Situation of the Yuanlao

"Cough, cough, cough, cough. You two shouldn't be from around here, right?"

Suddenly, an old man's voice appeared behind the two of them.

Ning Chen's eyes shifted, then he quickly snapped back to his senses.

He looked at the old man before him, frowning slightly.

What is this situation? Why didn't they notice his appearance at all?

"Hahaha, you don't need to look at me with such hostile eyes." As he spoke, the old man held a bottle of wine, swaying as he approached the two of them.

As soon as the old man got close to Ning Chen, Ning Chen smelled the alcohol all over his body; it was obvious he had drunk quite a bit. The old man walked unsteadily, yet his eyes were very clear and bright, not at all like someone who had drunk too much.

"You two must have just arrived today. Moreover, I have calculated that you two are not from here; perhaps, you are not from this world."

The moment the old man finished speaking, Ning Chen felt a gust of wind beside him. Looking over, he saw Xiao Han standing by the old man's side, a vine wrapped around his waist.

As soon as the old man said anything wrong, these vines could snap him in half.

"Young man, don't be so impetuous. Being this impetuous means you won't find a girlfriend." The old man seemed unhurried, even taking a sip of wine from his bottle.

Ning Chen came to their side and waved his hand at Xiao Han.

Xiao Han narrowed his eyes slightly, loosening the vines a bit, but did not leave.

"Old sir, I want to know what you know. Can you tell me?"

"This old man of mine only knows some things others don't, able to glimpse a bit of the Heavenly Mystery. If I'm not mistaken, where you are from, there should be a savior from here."

The old man spoke with a smile, feeling no sense of how much shock his words would bring to the two people before him.

After all, him knowing they were not from this world was already surprising enough; he even knew who they had brought.

"Old sir, who exactly are you?"

"The Buddha says, unspeakable, unspeakable. Know that you know; it is enough that I will not harm you. I have been waiting for this savior for a very long time."

As the old man spoke, he intended to walk outside.

Xiao Han wanted to stop him, but Ning Chen shook his head at him.

"Come with me. This place is not a good spot for conversation." After reaching the door, the old man turned around, looked at the two of them, and waved, Si Shiyi for them to follow.

When they reached the old man's side, he tossed two new face masks to the two of them.

"Cover your faces first."

Ning Chen and Xiao Han exchanged a glance, then put on these masks.

The two followed the old man along the road. Many people around greeted the old man; it appeared this old man held a very high status here.

The two followed the old man to a villa district; there were even guards here.

"Yuanlao, who are these two?" The guard looked curiously at Ning Chen and Xiao Han.

"What are you looking at? These are all my guests."

Upon hearing the old man say this, the guard immediately withdrew his gaze: "As you say, please come in, everyone."

Following the old man into the villa district, a villa at the far left and back, several times larger than the others, appeared before the two of them.

Inside were various green plants and flowers; the courtyard was ridiculously large, and there was even a luxury car inside.

However, the courtyard was desolate, looking as if no one lived there.

The old man led the two into the villa, and a young man in a suit immediately came out from inside.

"You are back."

"This is my butler, also my adopted son. You may call him Tianze."

Hearing this name, Ning Chen raised an eyebrow: "The Tianze from 'survival of the fittest'?"

The old man cast a look of approval at Ning Chen.

The three sat on the sofa, and Tianze poured tea for everyone.

"Old sir, I want to know why you know these things?" Ning Chen looked at the old man and voiced his doubt.

"Hahaha, don't keep calling me 'old sir,' 'old sir.' Although my age is here, my body is very strong. You may call me Yuan Ye."
