Chapter 523 Young Master, What a Blessing!

"Rakshasa Sect, Blood Saber Mountain, Burning Heaven Valley, Sunset Cloud Valley, Tiger Roar Villa … Nearly half of the twelve towns have already fallen to Crimson Firmament Sect. This does not include the ambiguous Wind Moon Pavilion, Listening Sword Manor, and Dragon Tiger Sect."

When he returned from the meeting of the Sword Handling Pavilion, it was already dusk. Although it was only a third-line red robe, Fang Ziyu, who was still invited to participate in the meeting, walked on the streets of Hengroyal City and muttered.

"There are a total of seven or eight hundred Jianghu experts who came from various sects and hid in Heng Imperial City. These people have only been discovered. Those who are hiding in the shadows are probably several times the number." Yan Zhan, who was standing at the side, also took over the conversation and said with a serious expression.

"Sigh" Fang Ziyu sighed and said to himself, "Looks like the Sword Handling Pavilion is in danger."

At this point, Fang Ziyu turned to look at Xu Han, who had been silent for a long time. She asked, "Xu, you said that the Sword Handling Pavilion is at least in sync with the Great Xia Imperial Court. If the Crimson Firmament Sect really brought these Jianghu people to attack the Sword Handling Pavilion, wouldn't it be embarrassing to the Imperial Court?"

Fang Ziyu's unintentional question pierced Xu Han's heart.

He had thought of this from the beginning.

Even though the Great Xia Dynasty seemed to be much weaker than the other sects, the lean camels were still bigger than horses. If the two sides really tore through each other's faces, regardless of which side won, they would most likely end up losing.

Such a course of action was quite unwise.

However, if the Crimson Firmament Sect were to go mad by themselves, it would be fine. How did they convince the other sects to follow him and take such a big risk in carrying out this matter?

Could it be that there were some hidden reasons behind this that the crowd had neglected?

Xu Han did not understand. The Swordsman Meeting today was mostly because of this. Helplessness, Nangong Jing could only order the various forces to guard against it. Of course, he also instructed Xu Han to keep an eye on the swordsman in his hands who could betray him at any time.

Apart from this, the successive assassinations of experts from various sects of Great Xia at the Great Evolution Realm by unknown organizations had also become more and more intense recently. Xiao Ran personally went out to investigate this matter. Half a month had passed without any results, and this had also become an important proof that the Jianghu parties were pointing at the Sword Handling Pavilion.

Together, many things caused Xu Han to vaguely smell the smell of rain approaching.

…

The group quickly returned to their mansion.

Meanwhile, Ye Hongjian stood in front of the manor gate, seemingly waiting for a long time.

"Let's settle this later in the autumn." Seeing that Fang Ziyu looked at Xu Han with a strange expression, Yan Zhan patted Xu Han on the shoulder, signaling him to take care of himself. After that, the two of them tactfully greeted Ye Hongjian and entered the manor.

Xu Han scratched his head, thinking that Ye Hongjian was still angry with him for today's Nangong Jingzhi incident. "Then… I'm a little hungry. I'll go in and see if Big Brother Chu's food is ready."

Xu Han said in panic. In order to temporarily avoid the sharpness, he wanted to follow Fang Ziyu and the other two into the manor.

However, how could Ye Hongjian fulfill his wish? At that time, she reached out and grabbed Xu Han's arm.

"It's already past dinner. I'll take you somewhere else to eat." The girl whispered, but her calm tone made Xu Han's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't understand the other party's thoughts.

However, he still bravely nodded his head and said, "Then … Alright then …"

Ye Hongjian probably recognized Xu Han's strange tone. She rolled her eyes at him angrily and said, "Where is the courage to promise Nangong Jing today? Is this still the Xu Han I know?"

"Haha." Xu Han didn't dare to go against Ye Hongjian at this moment, so he could only hurriedly agree and laugh apologetically.

…

The restaurant Ye Hongjian was looking for was located in a corner of the northern part of the Royal City. Whether it was the size or the decoration of the restaurant, it was extremely simple and crude. It was only the most ordinary roadside stall, but the taste was surprisingly suited to Xu Han's taste.

Xu Han, who had been sitting in the Sword Handling Manor listening to Nangong Jing's group for an entire afternoon, was indeed a little hungry. With the current delicious food, he naturally moved his index finger. After carefully confirming that Ye Hongjian really wanted him to come here for dinner, he opened his chest, and the wind blew and the clouds blew.

Throughout the entire process, Ye Hongjian did not make a sound. She only looked at Xu Han with a smile on the corner of her mouth. It seemed that the appearance of this youth eating and drinking was also an extremely interesting thing in her eyes.

Xu Han was somewhat uncomfortable when she saw this. He raised his head and asked, "Hongjian, aren't you going to eat?"

"I've already eaten it." Ye Hongjian was a little helpless towards Xu Han's words and replied unhappily.

Xu Han's face instantly revealed an awkward expression. Looking at the sky, it was probably past E, and it was already past the time for him to finish his meal.

Ye Hongjian could also roughly see Xu Han's embarrassment. She secretly sighed in her heart. This Xu Han was usually very alert, but he was the only one who was so stunned that he made people gnash their teeth. However, Ye Hongjian did not want to see him in such an awkward situation, so she could only think of a way to break this awkward situation.

"Is it delicious?" She asked with a smile.

Xu Han, who could finally get rid of the previous topic, naturally had to seize this opportunity. Hearing this, he immediately nodded his head hurriedly, "It's delicious. How did Hongjian find such a restaurant?"

A few days ago, Xu Han had unwittingly eaten the food Ye Hongjian had personally cooked, and had given some incorrect comments. Ever since then, Ye Hongjian seemed to have put in a lot of effort to cook a meal that was much better than before, and it was extremely suitable for Xu Han's appetite. The restaurant he found today was quite similar to Ye Hongjian's craftsmanship, so Xu Han couldn't help but be curious.

However, for some reason, a wisp of red cloud suddenly rose on Ye Hongjian's cheeks when she heard this question, as if she was intentionally avoiding Xu Han's gaze. At that time, she put aside her head and said, "Whatever… whichever house you want…"

"Is that so?" Xu Han did not doubt his existence, but he was still curious as to why he had found this family's taste so similar to his.

"Otherwise!" Ye Hongjian's voice suddenly grew louder, and a wisp of red cloud appeared on her cheeks.

Even Xu Han noticed something strange at this moment. He looked at Ye Hongjian strangely and was about to ask a question, but Ye Hongjian seemed to know what Xu Han was going to say. She took the lead and stood up. She said unkindly, "Have you finished eating yet?"

Seeing that Ye Hongjian was about to leave, Xu Han hurriedly wiped the oil stains off the corners of his mouth and immediately stood up. He was still worried that Ye Hongjian was still angry about Nangong Jing, so he naturally did not dare to continue to entangle himself on this topic that Ye Hongjian did not want to talk about.

"Shopkeeper, check out!" He called out loudly to the shopkeeper who was still busy in the inner room, thinking about leaving with Ye Hongjian after he checked out.

However, who knew that Ye Hongjian, who had heard this, seemed to have remembered something and hurriedly turned around and said, "Don't!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a woman in her early forties walked out of the room.

She came to Xu Han with a smile and said with an extremely familiar expression, "No need, this girl has already paid for all the meals for the past six months to Young Master."

Hearing this, Xu Han stopped in his pocket. He looked at the woman and then at Ye Hongjian, who was supporting his forehead. He was a little confused. This was the first time he had come to this restaurant for dinner today. Why would Ye Hongjian pay for half a year of food?

Just as she was puzzled, the woman's voice sounded again.

'"Young Master is really lucky. In order to find a restaurant that suits your appetite, your wife traveled all over the Horizontal Imperial City to find me. Ever since then, she has worked tirelessly to buy all kinds of food from me for you to bring back. With such a woman, I'm afraid that Young Master is the blessing of her previous life."

The old woman said with a complimentary expression, but she did not notice Xu Han's sudden enlightenment and Ye Hongjian's sudden blush like a falling gorge on her cheeks.
