Chen Yufan really hadn't done any detailed investigation on who the old man from Shangguan Family was, but Shangguan Jia was actually able to use an eighth stage martial artist. Judging from this, the Shangguan Family must not be as simple as he had imagined. Looking at Shangguan Qingxue, someone who could cultivate such a successor, naturally wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Although the light surrounding Shangguan Qingxue had been completely blocked when he was with her, Chen Yufan knew that this girl had a soft mind and a tough one on the inside. She did not think about the million strong army in her heart, but she was still not an extraordinary person. Therefore, Chen Yufan placed special emphasis on the elderly men with Shangguan Family.
Now, the old man seemed to be unable to hold back his curiosity any longer, and wanted to see this future grandson-in-law of Shangguan Family. However, to be able to endure till now, Chen Yufan was indeed surprised by this skill. After all, he couldn't wait for his precious granddaughter, the successor of Shangguan Family, to actually change from a girl to a woman before looking for the culprit.
Shangguan Qingxue's tranquil eyes carried a hint of sweetness, looked at the astonishment on Chen Yufan's face carefully, and snorted with a bit of incomprehension. She seemed to be a little girl acting coquettishly in her heart, as she hugged Chen Yufan's neck and said unhappily, "It's just seeing the parents, do you need to look so dejected?"
Pausing for a moment, Shangguan Qingxue puckered her lips in a slightly aggrieved manner, and said softly: "If you really don't want to go, then I'll tell Grandfather about it tomorrow."
When he said that, a trace of unexplainable grievance appeared on Shangguan Qingxue's face, she bit her lips, and tears continued to flash in her eyes. In truth, how could Chen Yufan not see that the Little Girl was just putting on an act for him, but he could not bear to let his woman receive any grievances.
Pulling Shangguan Qingxue who wanted to leave, Chen Yufan laughed: "Darling, I didn't say I won't go, I'm just not ready. "How about this, if you make an appointment with me for an hour, I will definitely not break it!"
Shangguan Qingxue's gentle face flashed with happiness, and she jumped up in shock, saying: "Are you for real?"
Chen Yufan laughed bitterly in his heart, then nodded: "Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you!"
The verdant jade pointed at Chen Yufan's straight nose. Shangguan Qingxue immediately laughed: "You are not allowed to go back on your words!" As she spoke, she clenched her small fists, as if she was trying to warn Su Hao. However, her appearance was extremely cute. Beautiful women, no matter if they were happy, wronged, or angry, all reflected an irresistible beauty.
Chen Yufan's soul shook, and he immediately laughed: "Of course, you don't have to worry!"
To be honest, Chen Yufan did have a lot of women, to the point where he was unable to split his time evenly among everyone. However, in his heart, once these girls obtained Chen Yufan's acknowledgement, they would become extremely important to him. They were not allowed to receive even the slightest bit of grievance.
His finger moved across the ends of Shangguan Qingxue's hair as he infatuated with her: "Darling, you're so beautiful!"
Shangguan Qingxue laughed tenderly. As if intentionally or unintentionally, her extremely beautiful face moved closer to Chen Yufan's and let out a light snort, as if she was enjoying this hard-earned sweet talk of hers. After a long while, he said, "Yufan, don't worry, grandpa only wants to see you! "There's no other reason!"
Chen Yufan laughed awkwardly: "When am I nervous? I was just caught off guard! "
Just as Chen Yufan had said, the old man from the Shangguan Family could not change Chen Yufan's mind, nor would he change Shangguan Qingxue's mind. No matter how much strength this old man had, when facing Chen Yufan, he only used all his strength on the cotton, not the slightest bit of strength. Furthermore, the elders of the Shangguan Family did not pose much of a threat to Chen Yufan.
As long as Chen Yufan was willing, he could very easily uproot all of his Shangguan Family. This was a very simple matter.
His gaze landed on the tip of Shangguan Qingxue's light hair, then quickly left. Looking at the red maple leaves falling with the wind outside the window, a helpless smile appeared in Chen Yufan's heart. Perhaps this was more of a ridicule!
The clear autumn sunlight was no longer as scorching as it would be in the middle of summer. However, it still possessed an incomparable power, illuminating the faces of those who looked on with fire burning on their faces. At this moment, a cool breeze blew past Zhejiang's Jia Xing Lake. Occasionally, a Wattage Vessel would glide past the lake. It set off ripples on the ground as the profound strength in the Wattage Vessel continued to float out.
Jia Xing was perhaps not the most famous tourist attraction in China, but in this autumn air, sitting amongst the Wattage Vessel and looking at the beautiful people coming and going in and out of the ancient towns in Jiangnan, with the alluring red Jia Xing and flesh at the sides, it was indeed a different story.
At the edge of Jia Xing, amongst a not very large, but exceptionally exquisite Wattage Vessel, moored a ship. On the bow of the ship, the old man continuously sang the folk songs of Jia Xing. Amongst the Wattage Vessel, the melodious and elegant sound of guzheng lingered around them. It was as if a fishing boat was singing late into the night and was very suitable for the occasion.
Some of the people on the lake were fishermen who had lived their entire lives here, while others were new tourists who had just arrived. However, everyone was very curious about the owner of this ship. Especially when the Jiangnan Triad Assembly was about to take place. Those who were able to roam the Blue Lake were not only officials or nobles, but also wealthy merchants with some status.
Therefore, although everyone was curious about this unusual ship, no one dared to provoke it.
Outside the Wattage Vessel, a light drizzle began to fall slowly, like a goose feather needle, blowing on the lake surface. The guzheng in the boat was still clanging as if it had no intention of stopping. Only, there was an extra middle-aged man in a long green robe on the bow of the ship. The man slightly opened his eyes, revealing a somewhat ethereal aura.
The strangest thing was that the man had a long sword behind his back. Although it was wrapped in blue cloth, one could still see some clues. Wearing a green robe, with a head of long hair, the ancient sword on his back had an ancient aura to it. Especially that pair of sword-like eyebrows that emitted killing intent, it caused people to tremble with fear.
The ancient chrysanthemum flower sword and wine were indeed the spirit and soul of this autumn. But unfortunately, this man seemed to be a meticulous person, and he lacked a sense of being frivolous and drunken chivalry.
The resounding sound of the zither did not stop. It was just that during these three days, it was still the same tune. The fisherman's boat was singing late into the night. There was also a hint of intensity and sadness in his grief. Clank, clank … With a clang, the zither music abruptly stopped. From within the awning came a woman's voice as elegant as an oriole. "Uncle Wen, since you've come, please come in and speak!"
The middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat, but he still lifted up his clothes and walked into the awning. The awning was not big, and there were two mahogany tables and chairs inside. In the middle of the table and chair, there was a zither stand. On the edge of the zither stand was a wooden tea table. The tea on the table still had the same fragrance as always, emitting a faint white mist. It was just that this refreshing fragrance made him feel a bit enthralled. "Hualalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala!"
In the center of the stage, there was a woman dressed in light blue robes. Her long hair hung down, and her hair was coiled in a bun. A silver hairpin was inserted diagonally, and her red lips were flashing. Her slender fingers continuously strummed the strings of the zither, producing clanging sounds.
The green robed middle-aged man bowed slightly and then sat down on the chair. As he savored the tea in the small tea cup, he said with a sigh, "My lady's tea ceremony has improved again!"
The girl smiled indifferently, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and said, "However, it's just a small path, and won't enter the eyes of the Fang family!"
The two of them looked at each other in silence. The girl lowered her head and asked, "Uncle Wen, how is the investigation going? Any ideas? "
The middle-aged man's eyebrows twitched twice, and answered with a serious tone: "The matter has already been roughly investigated. The Suzhou region doesn't seem to want the young miss to become the next host of China, so they want to start a few matters at this Blue Lake summit. However, the matter was not that simple, the Blue Lake summit this time seemed to be the center of attention. There are still several hands behind my back! "
The girl's eyes lit up. She thought for a moment and asked, "Will his forces be participating?"
The middle-aged man was momentarily stunned. The expression on his face was very unnatural. He clearly understood who the young lady was referring to. It was that terrifying man. Back then, he had been involved in the assassination attempt on him by the leader. The memories after that would probably be something that he would never forget for the rest of his life. If it weren't for the young mistress begging for mercy, he would probably be at the Danube already dealing with the River God.
Therefore, the middle-aged man's face looked a bit unnatural. However, he covered it up very well and quickly replied, "I'm afraid that that person will play a very dishonorable role in it!"
"What's the plan?" The girl seemed to be very interested in that person. She stared fixedly at the middle-aged man as she asked.
The middle-aged man helplessly shook his head and said, "I don't know the details!" Seeing the look of loss on the girl's face, the middle-aged man immediately explained, "Miss, you also know that person's way of doing things is very reckless. No one knows what he wants to do!"
The girl took a sip of the tea which was getting colder and colder by her side. After a long while, she nodded and said, "I understand, but it is my business to find out as much as possible. Gather all of our forces to investigate!"
The middle-aged man immediately stood up and objected, "But Miss, you have done more than enough for him. Right now, we are not in Europe, we are here to protect ourselves and rub ourselves, to expose all our power. Your safety? "
The girl waved her hand and said, "It's fine, just some clowns!"
Just as the middle-aged man was about to say something, his eyes suddenly exploded with a golden light. A murderous intent emanated from his cold eyes as he bellowed, "You bunch of grasshoppers! You really hate the fact that there's a way for you to escape from heaven.
