"I've been thinking about what reason I should use to enter the Mu King's Manor this morning, but since Lady Meng Yan has come out, I've saved a lot of trouble. Since I have nothing better to do today, I'll treat Lady Meng Yan and Lady Shang Rong as a good entertainment for a day. All of the expenses will be on me." After which, he immediately walked to the front. Duan Mu Yan and Yin Shang Rong looked at each other in dismay. However, they were unable to guess what kind of medicine Shen Han Sheng was up to.
The streets of South Vietnam were indeed bustling with activity, there were cars, horses, and people clamoring everywhere. The shops on both sides of the street were filled with a myriad of precious items, and the people watching were dazzled and confused by the variety of them. Perhaps it was due to the influence of the atmosphere, Duan Mu Yan was momentarily excited as she surrounded the area with the most crowd of jugglers, and when Shen Han Sheng saw this, he respectfully opened up a path for her, not knowing whether he was doing it intentionally or not, but at the same time, those people would occasionally squeeze out of the way, causing her to return to her side after causing her to be affected for quite a while.
In the center of the plaza, a young lady of about twenty years of age was tied to a wooden tray, her hands and feet were spread apart, her beautiful and adorable face was revealed with a faint smile, revealing two dimples, which were extremely lovable, her agile eyes flickered with a bright and confident glow. At this moment, when she looked at the man opposite her, she saw a young lady of about twenty years of age tied to a wooden tray, her hands were spread apart, and her hands were slowly moving, the girl's eyes were still wide open, her eyes were filled with unwavering confidence, and her eyes had not only come from herself, but also from the man opposite her trust.
The crowd suddenly turned silent. Everyone's gaze fell on the man, and they all felt a bit apprehensive. After all, she was such a beautiful lady. If there were any mishaps, wouldn't it be a pity?
Just as everyone was about to give up, the man suddenly leaped up into the air. His body spun a few times in the air before landing on the ground. At the same time, ten streaks of silver light flew towards the disc.
In an instant, the sound of thunderous applause resounded through Yun Xiao. Even Duan Mu Yan was shocked by the scene before her. She could not help but clap with both hands. Only Shen Hansheng's happy face changed as the man spun around. Shen Hansheng could clearly see the silver mask on the man's face, and under the sunlight, the light emitted by the mask was exceptionally glaring, and memories welled up from within like a spring. Although Shangguan Wuye did not say who the owner of the mask was, how could Shen Hansheng not know the identity of the man?
"Good kung fu!" With this kind of skill, why are you acting here? " Beside Duan Muyan, Yin Shang Rong whispered.
"Shang Rong, did you bring silver taels?" Duan Muyan turned to look at Yin Shang Rong and asked doubtfully.
"There are five gold ingots here!" As a guard of the Mu Clan, she naturally had to do as she pleased. Upon seeing that Yin Shang was about to pass the gold to Duan Moyan, Shen Hansheng hurriedly tried to stop him.
"This person's martial arts is very high, if Meng Yan really wants it, can I ask Miss Shang Rong to send the gold over?" Shen Hansheng's suggestion made sense to Yin Shang Rong, so without waiting for Duan Mu Yan to reject, she took the gold and walked up. When Yin Shang finally placed the gold on the plate of the old man who collected the silver, when she looked back, Duan Mu Yan and Shen Han Sheng were already gone. Yin Shang Rong's heart turned cold, she immediately jumped up and stepped on their shoulders and out of the crowd.
Yin Shang Rong's words caught the masked man's attention. He wanted to chase after her and take a look, but was pulled back by the girl who had just loosened her bindings.
"Big Brother Feng!" You're awesome! This little one knows that you have the ability to do so! " The little girl looked at the man in front of her with a face full of admiration. Her smile was as adorable as a blossoming flower.
"Young Noble Feng, this old man has underestimated you! If you have that kind of ability, why would you faint on the ancient path? " The old man looked at the silver taels in his hands. He would never be able to earn money from this trip to the market.
"It is hard to say. It is fortunate that the old mister and the little girl took care of me day and night. Otherwise, I would have lost my soul long ago." The one who spoke was none other than the person who left without saying goodbye, Xiao Jingfeng.
"There's no need to say that. Since we've met him, there's no reason for us to not save him. However, we didn't save him for nothing. Isn't that clearly saving a God of Fortune …?" The old man looked at the gold spindle on the plate, grinning from ear to ear.
"If you continue to earn money like this, you'll be able to collect all of your dowry very quickly …" As the old man spoke, he looked at Xiaoxiao with a mocking gaze.
"Grandfather!" What are you saying! "Since when did Xiaoxiao say that she was going to marry someone!?" Upon hearing her soft voice, her cheeks suddenly flushed red. Her lively eyes subconsciously glanced at the man beside her. Although that man wore a silver mask on his face, in her small eyes, the mask already surpassed all the other beautiful men in the world.
"I wonder what Young Noble Feng plans for next?" The old man went back to the main topic at hand and put the silver in the bag. To Xiao Jin Feng, the bag looked like a bottomless pit, and every time he saw the old man throw in a treasure, he never saw the bag filled to the brim.
"I was originally looking for someone, but now that I'm in the southern region, I might be able to find some clues after staying here for a while." Because he was wearing a mask, he did not see the solemn expression on Xiao Lingfeng's face. When he found out that Duan Mu Yan had gone missing, he did not stop to rest and look for her, and from then on, whenever he went anywhere, he would ask about her whereabouts, and because of Duan Mu Yan's identity, he did not dare to brazenly bring out her picture. He could only rely on his luck, and even though Xiao Jin Feng knew that this opportunity was as slim as a needle being fished from the ocean, he still persisted.
"Stay here …" "Grandpa …" A look of unconcealable disappointment appeared on Xiao Budian's face before he looked at the elder beside him and asked pleadingly.
"You little girl, are you really reluctant to part with this Brother Feng of yours?" "Forget it, since we have already earned enough money, let's stay in the Southern Yue Royal City for a few more days before leaving!" How could he not know the thoughts of his grandson and daughter?
Xiao Jin Feng was speechless and looked at the crowd in front of him as if they were nothing. He wanted to see that familiar figure in the next second. As long as he knew that she was safe, he would be satisfied.
In the restaurant, when the Yin Merchant Shop saw Shen Hansheng and Duan Muyan sitting together by the window, their faces turned even darker.
"King Han, please unlock Lady Meng Yan's acupuncture points!" Yin Shang Rong knew that Meng Yan's Acupoint had been pierced through, she was furious, but she did not dare to offend the man in front of her. If Shen Hansheng wanted to bring Meng Yan away, she would not be able to stop him no matter how hard she tried.
Shen Han Sheng's thin lips pursed as he turned to face Duan Mu Yan.
"Miss Meng Yan, please don't blame me. It's just that Han Sheng had just noticed that someone was ambushing someone in the crowd and wanted to harm you. That's why he came up with this plan." Shen Hansheng first explained the situation before resolving Duan Mu Yan's acupoint.
"If there was an ambush, how could Miss Shang Rong not be aware of it? If you hate Meng Yan, then just say it. You should use this method to tease Meng Yan! " Beside him, Yin Shang Rong silently breathed out a long breath of air. If the Prince handed Meng Yan to her, if she were to lose her, how would she explain this to him?
"Han Sheng swears to the heavens that he has no such intentions. Truly …" Shen Hansheng was at a loss for words. Could it be that he wanted to tell Duan Mu Yan that he had kidnapped her because he was afraid that she would run into an old friend?
"There's no need to swear. Miss Shang Rong, I'll trouble you to tell the shopkeeper here that all the guests who come to eat at this restaurant today will be invited by the Duke of Han. Tell him not to be so formal, and eat freely!" Cold sweat trickled down the back of Shen Han Sheng's head when he heard his words. Why couldn't he see that Duan Mu Yan had such intellect and intelligence when he was still in the Badlands Court? Yin Shang Rong stood up and glanced at Shen Hansheng, feeling rather pleased with herself.
"Since Miss Meng Yan is so happy, I am willing to throw away all my money!" Even though she was not a miser, this meal was way too expensive!
No words were exchanged at the table, and regardless of how much effort Shen Han Sheng expended to make Duan Mu Yan feel his feelings, Duan Mu Yan only lowered her head to eat, occasionally giving a slight grunt in response. After the meal, Shen Han Sheng could clearly feel that his voice had become a lot hoarser, as though it had become more magnetic.
Leaving the inn, Shen Hansheng subconsciously scanned his surroundings to confirm that the silver mask was not around before he calmed down.
"I wonder where Lady Meng Yan wants to go next?" Shen Hansheng spoke out courteously. His gaze was devout, as though he had decided to accompany Jun Mo Xie to the end. However, the will of the Emperor was not his. Before Duan Mu Yan could reject him, Yin Shang Rong could not help but sigh.
"If Duke Han keeps on blabbering like this, aren't you afraid of losing your throat? Are you sure you won't be able to open your mouth in the future?" When Yin Shang said this, three black lines immediately appeared on Shen Hansheng's forehead.
"Meng Yan is tired and wishes to return to the Mu King Manor. If Duke Han doesn't mind, you can accompany Meng Yan to the Mu King Manor for a cup of tea. However, Meng Yan is also a guest. It was obvious that she wanted to reject her offer, but she was left without the slightest flaw after hearing what she said. Although she was reluctant to part with her, Shen Hansheng still escorted Duan Mu Yan and Yin Shang Rong to the entrance of the manor before turning around and leaving.
When Duan Mu Yan and Yin Shang Rong walked closer to the entrance of the mansion, Shen Han Sheng's figure slowly appeared from the shadows. He was practicing his cultivation on the road, secretly taking care of Chen Cang, his actions were first to gain more time with Duan Mu Yan, and he hoped that she would be able to recall every detail of what happened between him and her, and secondly to divert Shen Han Xin's attention, allowing him to let his guard down.
As for what he had just seen, Shen Hansheng felt a knot in his chest. He had never expected Xiao Jingfeng to appear here. Did this mean that the people from Badlands already knew the clues? As long as he thought that Xiao Yuxuan might have arrived at the Badlands Court, Shen Hansheng's hands subconsciously clenched into fists. He could not give Duan Moyan to anyone! Absolutely not!
Just as he entered, the whip whistled over, bringing with it a cold wind. Luckily, Yin Shang had managed to push Duan Mu Yan to the side in time, otherwise, the whip would have landed on her face.
"Princess Xia Hou?" Shang Rong was about to fight back, but he was startled when he saw the man in front of him.
"You know it's me, but you still dare to meddle in other people's business!" "Step down!" Now that he finally saw Duan Mu Yan after searching in a circle, how could she let it go? Furthermore, Shen Hanxin had already been called to the secret chamber by his father, so she wanted to see who would save Duan Mu Yan.
"Princess, please calm your anger. I wonder when Miss Meng Yan provoked the princess. The princess only regards her as a person of magnanimity, and does not care about the consequences." Yin Shang Rong spoke humbly, but she didn't show any intentions of giving way. How could she not know of Duan Mu Yan's position in the heart of the Mu Wang? Even if she had to suffer, she wouldn't let anything happen to Duan Mu Yan.
