Chapter: 4727

"Onei Wei immediately puffed out his chest and said proudly, 'Mrs. Jinghai is my father! He is renowned in the field of feng shui, both at home and abroad, and is a top-notch master! Countless big shots on Hong Kong Island are all his disciples!'"

"Oh... I see," Leaf Chen smiled slightly and asked, 'Does your father, Master Xuan Ji Tang, live in Hong Kong now?'"

"Onei Wei immediately bowed his head in the distance and said, 'My father left Hong Kong last year to seek a secluded place for closed-door cultivation.'"

"Closed-door cultivation?" Leaf Chen laughed and played with it, saying, 'Actually, I had an encounter with your father back then.'"

"Onei Wei was shocked and asked, 'You met my father?'"

"Yes," Leaf Chen smiled. 'It was last year.'"

"Onei Wei was taken aback and blurted out, 'Last year?! Where did you meet him?!'"

Leaf Chen spoke calmly, 'In Jinling.'"

"Yes, that's true," Leaf Chen said with a smile. "The master was indeed impressive at the auction. He really left a deep impression on me."

Onei Wei's heart tightened up without warning.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Leaf Chen, but rather he had always been worried about his father's whereabouts.

After his father left Jinling, they lost contact soon afterwards, and Onei Wei searched for him in Jinling, but found no clues. It was as if he were dead or alive, with no sign of him at all.

To maintain the reputation of Xuanji Temple, Onei Wei publicly announced that his father had begun to seclude himself for meditation.

But he never gave up searching for his father's whereabouts. After all, the reputation of Xuanji Temple mainly relied on his father's abilities and connections with rich people from Hong Kong.

Only by announcing that Master Xianhai was in seclusion could they maintain their influence.

Otherwise, if Hong Kong people knew that Master Xianhai's actual whereabouts were unknown, the influence of Xuanji Temple would surely decline.

So Onei Wei asked Leaf Chen with some trepidation: "Mr. So-and-so, can you tell me where you last saw my father? What was he doing exactly?"

"Leaf Chen smiled and said, 'I last saw your father at that auction, when he didn't have enough money to buy that jade and looked really unhappy about it.'"

Onei Wei's face changed slightly.

Last year, your father participated in an auction, and I once heard him talking on the phone about it.

At the time, your father was extremely angry, saying that someone had suddenly appeared mid-route and snatched away that jade at an exorbitant price, leaving him very frustrated.

Later, your father said he wanted to find a way to retrieve that jade.

But then, he just disappeared from view.

At this point, Onei Wei couldn't help but ask, "What happened afterwards?! Do you know what happened?!"

Leaf Chen smiled and said, 'I later heard that your father got into trouble with a mainland qigong master at a qigong conference, while dueling with others, because he loved to show off too much, and was struck by lightning and reduced to dust.'" JrNovels.com
