"The sugar gourd in Heng Imperial City is not as delicious as Chang'an's." Su Mu'an frowned as she muttered these words. She bit down on a sugar gourd and began to chew it in large mouthfuls.
"But the Royal City is much livelier than Chang'an. On the way here, we also saw a caravan. They are very strange. They brought strange-looking horses to transport goods. Sister Ye said it was called a camel. Does the Manor Master know how to write the word" camel "?"
"A few days ago, the sky suddenly darkened. What a big thing that covered the sky. It looked like a big rock. Lord Manor Master, did you see it?"
"There's also …"
Su Mu'an talked nonstop along the way. Xu Han and Ye Hong Jian naturally did not have the opportunity to catch up with the past while Su Mu'an was talking nonstop. The two of them could see each other's helplessness, but they did not sweep the child's temper in the end. They just let him wantonly express the excitement after seeing Xu Han again.
The group quickly arrived at the mansion that Yan Zhan had bought under Xu Han's lead.
The wealthy Hero Yan had always been very generous. This mansion was no smaller than the previous one that had been destroyed. With such a large sum of money, it could naturally be said to be luxurious.
"Wow! Lord Manor Master, do you live in this house?" After confirming that this mansion was Xu Han's residence, Su Mu'an let out a cry of alarm. Xu Han, who had escaped to this point in the child's imagination, should be extremely dejected. In order to save his Lord Manor Head, the child secretly brought with him the dozen taels of silver that Tiance Prefecture had given him symbolically over the past year, hoping to improve Xu Han's life. After all, in Su Mu'an 's opinion, a dozen taels of silver should be considered a huge sum of money.
However, at this moment, it seemed that his worries were unnecessary. The little fellow did not feel the slightest bit disappointed because of this. Instead, he became happy. He liked Xu Han, and the better Xu Han lived, the happier he would naturally be.
Of course, this house was not bad, but it could only be considered a medium-grade item in the Horizontal Imperial City of the Exalted Officials Fortune Market. Su Mu'an's exclamation was probably suspicious of making a fuss about it.
"Looks like you've been doing well in the Horizontal Imperial City recently." However, Ye Hongjian, who was at the side, also said so at that time. This crafty smile flashed in the girl's narrowed eyes.
Xu Han shook his head and hurriedly said, "It's a friend's residence. I'm only staying temporarily. Let's go in."
After Xu Han finished speaking, he led the two of them into the manor.
…
"Hey! Why do you always come to my mansion, old woman?"
"It can't be that you're too old to get married. You want someone surnamed Xu to take over, right?"
"That's right. Look at you, you're almost thirty years old. You don't look too good. You've been putting on a fierce face all day. Who would dare to marry you?"
"Eh? Why aren't you talking? Did I say that? Do you really have a crush on someone surnamed Xu? That won't do. I'll tell you that someone surnamed Xu is a married man."
Xu Han led the two of them to the main room of the mansion, and Fang Ziyu's strange voice came from inside.
Xu Han's heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, "Not good." He subconsciously turned to look at Ye Hongjian behind him. The woman in red also looked at him with narrowed eyes. Her clearly smiling eyes made Xu Han's forehead break out in cold sweat.
Even Xu Han, who was ignorant of the Great Evolution Realm, hesitated at this moment. His hand on the door handle froze in place.
"Why don't you let us in?" Ye Hongjian's voice also sounded at that time. Her tone was gentle and pleasant, but it contained killing intent.
This wasn't Xu Han's guilty conscience. He had roughly guessed who the person in the room was.
The Sword Handling Pavilion's seven-stranded golden-robed Nangong Jing
Ever since the incident with the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, this woman had been trying her best to pester Xu Han and the others. Xu Han knew that she was probably trying to figure out their identities. Although rumors about his identity had recently spread everywhere, they were still rumors. No matter how convincing others were, no one would dare to attack Xu Han with such a reputation before the Sword Handling Pavilion or the Imperial Court announced this matter.
Although Nangong Jing had helped Xu Han rescue Liu Sheng, Although Xu Han had bestowed the siblings with the grace of the Illusory Demon in the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, he did not have much contact with Nangong Jing, so it was difficult to understand his true purpose. Therefore, Xu Han had always been able to avoid Nangong Jing, and most of the time, Fang Ziyu would deal with him when he came here.
It was probably because Nangong Jing had intentionally favoured the three people from the Crimson Firmament Sect when the swordsmen were competing, so much so that Fang Ziyu had a lot of resentment towards this woman. Every time they met, they would always speak ill of each other. However, what she had just thought of today just happened to fall into Ye Hongjian's ears.
It was said that Xu Han wasn't afraid of the shadow tilting, but he wasn't worried that Ye Hongjian would misunderstand him.
However, Nangong Jing had originally come to find out Xu Han's identity, and Ye Hongjian's fame was unknown in the Great Zhou Empire. Even in Great Xia, Xu Han could occasionally hear about it. If Nangong Jing couldn't keep it together, he would know more about it. In this way, he would probably be able to confirm Xu Han's identity. If she harbored any ill intentions…
Therefore, Xu Han wanted to avoid this moment for the time being, so he pondered for a moment before he opened his mouth.
"Alright, the person surnamed Xu is not here. It's already so late. You should go back, so as not to spread to the outsiders and ruin the reputation of the person surnamed Xu." But at this moment, Fang Ziyu's voice came from inside the room again. This girl did not choose her words. She really said whatever she thought of, causing Xu Han to be secretly embarrassed. In this moment of daze, Fang Ziyu had already arrived at the door, not giving Xu Han the slightest chance to react. At that moment, the door was opened by Fang Ziyu.
Thus, the figures of Xu Han and the others also appeared in the eyes of the people in the room.
Fang Ziyu blinked and looked at the two behind Xu Han.
After that, she rubbed her eyes again, as if she wasn't sure if the two people in front of her were real.
However, the next moment, the girl cried out in surprise, " Hongjian !"
Immediately after, she forgot all about it and quickly walked up, completely forgetting about Nangong Jing, who was sitting in the house.
However, Xu Han's expression couldn't help but change at that time. Fang Ziyu's thoughts were too simple. Xu Han was still trying to stop the two of them from meeting in order to prevent Nangong Jing from recognizing the genius genius Ye Hongjian who was known throughout the Great Zhou Empire. Fang Ziyu opened the door and shouted Ye Hongjian's name.
This caused Xu Han's face to turn green as he thought to himself, "I'm not someone to entrust him with."
After Nangong Jing heard Fang Ziyu's words, the woman's mind was full of vigor. After thinking for a bit, her gaze fell on Ye Hongjian. She sized up the woman in red and the corner of her mouth hooked into an inexplicable smile.
At that time, she walked over to Xu Han and said in an extremely strange and even slightly resentful tone, "You're finally willing to meet me."
