The woman turned her head and looked at the man in white with her big eyes.
He did not have his usual delicate appearance. Instead, he sighed deeply and said:
"Senior brother Qi Han, did something happen on the way here? We've been delayed for so long, but there's still no sign of him …"
The young man said indifferently, "Junior Martial Sister, don't worry about Junior Martial Brother Qi Han. With his martial arts, if there's still anything that can happen to him …" Then how does senior want me to live?! "
Originally, he had only been joking, but he did not expect the woman to be serious. "That's true. Senior Brother Qi Han's martial arts are profound and unfathomable. If something happened to him, he would definitely meet an expert above him …"
As he was speaking, the sound of hooves could be heard coming from the outskirts of the capital.
"It must be Senior Brother Qi Han. He's finally back!"
The woman's eyes lit up. She picked up the train of her dress and quickly ran forward. There was nothing reserved about her at all.
The white-clothed man helplessly shook his head when he saw this. However, he seemed to have thought of something … The smile on his face gradually disappeared.
He looked at the flying figure of the woman, his brow furrowed, and then followed her.
In front of his eyes … One of the carriages sped towards the city gate. The woman's face curved into a frown as she shouted,
"Senior Brother Qi Han, Senior Brother Qi Han …"
The carriage driver hesitated for a moment before asking the young man inside the carriage in a low voice.
"My lord, there is a woman in front. She seems to be asking us, should we stop?"
The person inside the carriage quickly answered, "Maybe I recognized the wrong carriage, there's no need to stop."
"Yes, my lord."
The sound of the horse's hooves approached, but it did not seem like it was going to stop.
The man in white's eyes flickered. He looked at the girl beside him, who was filled with anticipation, and said:
"This should be the Ninth Prince's carriage, it doesn't seem like it belongs to junior …"
Ninth Prince...?
"Isn't that the same as Senior Brother Qi Han …?" The prince who oversees the flood together? "
The woman's eyes turned and the carriage flew past her.
"It doesn't matter. Even if this isn't Senior Martial Brother Qi Han's carriage, the master of the carriage is closely related to Senior Martial Brother Qi Han. There's no harm in stopping him."
After she finished speaking, before the man in white could react, the woman had already jumped up.
"Nonsense!" "Come back!"
The young man scolded, but Guan Wanwan did not care. She flew up and with a twist, her feet landed on the horse's back, her posture extremely beautiful.
The driver pulled on the reins tightly as the carriage came to a sudden halt.
He narrowed his eyes. "Miss, what do you mean by that?"
Guan Wanwan innocently blinked his eyes, "I don't have any meaning, I just want to ask you guys a few things, it's just that the carriage doesn't stop, and I can't ask, that's why I came up with this plan, please forgive me."
She clasped her hands in a polite gesture, even though her words were rude.
The coach was slightly relieved of the anger in his heart, but the vigilance in his heart was not reduced in the slightest.
A gentle voice came from inside the car. It was extremely pleasant to the ears.
"I don't know what Miss wants to ask, but I know what to say, and I can't deny it. However, I have something to ask of you, so I would like to ask of you …" "Don't waste too much time."
"Of course," Guan Wanwan said as a hint of a smile appeared on his face, "I would like to ask, when will my Senior Brother Qi Han arrive in the capital?"
The coachman's tone was full of doubt. "Senior Brother Qi Han?"
The white-clothed man stroked his forehead and explained for her:
"Her family's Senior Brother Qi Han is called Shen Hancheng …"
The air seemed to have quieted down in an instant. The driver narrowed his eyes in silence, and no sound came out from the carriage either.
Doubt gradually appeared in his eyes, and Guan Wanwan asked:
"What? Is my question very strange? Why didn't you all answer me?"
That shouldn't be the reason for the problem, but rather...
They asked the wrong person.
Godly Doctor Qi's gaze stopped at the carriage driver's body. Just at that moment, the carriage's curtain was lifted, revealing a corner.
After which, a gentle youth leisurely got off the carriage.
Seeing that, Guan Wanwan's body moved. He flew down from the horse and stood beside the white clothed man.
Ninth Prince looked at Guan Wanwan and then looked at the man in white. His eyes were deep as he smiled and asked:
"May I know the relationship between the two of you and the Seventh Brother?"
The palace was dazzling in gold and jade. Inside the palace, everyone left and right was retreating. The instant the palace doors closed … Outside, the autumn wind was blowing, causing the glazed lights to flicker.
The incense spread through the long smoke curtain, someone was kneeling on the ground, with a serious expression on his face.
Clad in a cloak, Old Emperor looked old and frail. Sad.
"I'll have to trouble Madam Su Yi this time …"
"Your Majesty is too serious." Madam Su Yi cupped her hands and said.
Old Emperor shook his head slightly, "I know Seventh Brother's character the best. If we force him to marry us … Even if the gossip about him had been broken, he wouldn't have been willing to do it.
It's a pity that I'm old and my body doesn't listen to my commands … This time, when he returned to the capital, if he did not help him plan things out, in the future … I'm afraid there will be no more chances. "
"The Emperor is blessed, so he should live for at least a hundred years. There's no need to worry too much about his body."
"Furthermore, I believe that Seventh Prince will understand the Emperor's intentions …"
"If that's really the case, it would be for the best …"
His eyes that used to flash with a bright light now revealed traces of sadness. Old Emperor's gaze turned distant as he opened his mouth slowly:
"That child is very obedient and sensible. I like her very much. If she can become Seventh Brother's wangfei, then Ning'er should know and be happy …"
"Yes, that year … When Seventh Prince was still learning skills from Su Yi's hands, she had liked it a lot … Accompanied by Seventh Prince, if Seventh Prince is willing to marry Yue Yang, I think … "I'd be happy to."
The Old Emperor laughed, but then coughed fiercely. She looked at the Old Emperor closely with a face full of worry. "Your majesty …"
Eunuch Fu immediately helped the Old Emperor get over it as his face turned serious.
After coughing for a while, Old Emperor slowly calmed his breathing. He looked at Madam Su Yi and said with a smile:
"People are getting old … "Even if it's useless, it's still not as bad as coughing …"
As if he was going to fulfill his words, Old Emperor began to cough heavily again.
"She has already been sent out in plain clothes to welcome the Seventh Prince back to the capital. It has been a long time since the two of them last met … Seventh Prince was a righteous person, he would not push her away so easily.
As long as there was someone else by Seventh Prince's side, his rumours would not get close to women … We will certainly be broken. Please be at ease, Your Majesty.
"Alright, I'll leave this matter to Madam Su Yi to worry about. I, ahem …"
"I understand. Your majesty is not feeling well. Please rest first, I will take my leave first."
Seventh Brother...?
"You are... Senior Brother Qi Han's brother? "
Guan Yuanzhong sized up Shen Fan, and said very precisely, "He looks not bad, but it's a pity …" "It's still not as beautiful as Qi Han!
Shen Fan smiled, "Looks like it was fated to happen, I am also helpless, but …
Just now... When I heard you call Seventh Brother Senior Brother Qi Han, I dare you to ask, are you related to Seventh Brother as a junior brother or sister? "
The white clothed man tried his best to ignore Guan Wanwan. She was in the martial arts world, and had been protected too well by his master.
Pulling Guan Wanwan behind him, the white clothed man cupped his hands and said to Shen Fan:
"My surname is Qi, and people often call me Godly Doctor Qi. I couldn't stop you just now, it was my fault. When she first arrived in the capital, she did not understand any of the rules, so if you have any offenses, please do not blame us, Ninth Prince.
"Sir, you are being too serious …" Since you two have a bad relationship with the Seventh Brother, naturally, I have to treat you differently … "
Guan Wanwan interrupted, "All of you have been spouting nonsense for the whole day, when are you going to answer my question?"
She looked around for a long time, but still couldn't find any signs of a carriage.
The person in front of him … Wasn't it with Senior Brother Qi Han?
Why was the distance between the two of them so great?
Could it be that Senior Brother Qi Han returned to the capital first?
However, this was impossible!
After he had parted ways with his mother, he had always been standing guard here. If senior apprentice brother Qi Han entered the city gates, she had no reason not to know …
"Young lady, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for Seventh Brother today …"
Shen Fan looked at Guan Wanwan, and smiled gently at her: "I travelled ahead of Seventh Brother by half a day, galloping at full speed, and rarely stopped, so I did not stop at all. He had just returned to the capital so quickly.
But the Seventh Brother was different, the Master Su beside him was... His health had never been very good. Plus, he had a woman by his side, so it would be inconvenient for him to travel.
It rained again yesterday, I think... "They won't be able to return to the capital in a day or two …"
Woman …?
Guan Wanwan's eyes were wide open as he asked in disbelief, "By Senior Brother Qi Han's side, when did a woman exist?!"
Seeing that, Godly Doctor Qi felt his head ache even more.
His junior sister was good in every way, except she cared too much about Shen Hancheng …
To Shen Hancheng, even if it was the slightest of movements, she would still destroy the claypot and ask until she was satisfied.
"Qi Han's side..." How could there be a woman, that belongs to my Master Su, right?! "
Raising an eyebrow, a glint appeared in Shen Fan's eyes, and he said: "Yes, that woman is indeed from the Master Su."
"That's right, that's right. Since Qi Han is not coming back today, then let's not wait any longer and go back first."
Godly Doctor Qi really didn't like pleasantries, some... He impatiently cupped his hands, "Thank you, Ninth Prince. Junior Sister and I... There are some things that I haven't finished, so I'll be taking my leave first. "
"Take care."
"No, I haven't even asked …" "What happened to Senior Brother Qi Han? Why did you pull me? Senior Brother Qi Ke, let go, you …"
The protest gradually died down, and as Shen Fan watched the two of them walk further and further away, he asked the carriage driver behind him softly.
"Capturing the book, what did you think of?"
The coachman, Capturing Book, said, "That young lady's skills are not bad, and the man beside her should be of superior martial arts."
People from Different Worlds... The things he thought of were naturally different.
Shen Fan said, "They are people of the martial arts world …"
People of the martial world …
The book was in a fog, he did not understand what Shen Fan meant.
Shen Fan wore a bland smile on his face, but the expression in the depths of his eyes was somewhat difficult to fathom.
"I believe that we can quickly find out what it is. Shen Hancheng … "Which sect did your teacher come from?"
"Pa …"
Following the sound of porcelain falling to the ground, someone said in a trembling voice:
"What did you say?!"
CaiYi's eyes were filled with sorrow as she said, "Miss, the Third Young Master won't be able to come back today. Not only that … He might not be able to come back tomorrow. "
