Capítulo 17

Shen Wan looked away and sighed deeply.

"Who are those two people who came with you? Are they your friends?" Yuan Peixin asked with a slight smile.

"brother."

Following the proper steps, Luo Qingcheng diligently served food to the two beauties and uttered a few flattering words.

I feel so embarrassed by how sentimental I could faint.

Fortunately, it made the beautiful Yuan smile.

I secretly rejoiced that I hadn't stubbornly tried to act cool.

Unaware that Shen Wan's face was growing increasingly pale, her eyes brimming with tears.

Hearing her suddenly say, "You two keep talking, I'll go first..." he left with a somewhat dejected air.

Luo Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, instinctively stood up to chase after him, then hesitated and looked at Yuan Peixin.

Yuan Peixin seemed somewhat surprised, and looked at Luo Qingcheng as if she were at a loss.

Finally finding something to say: "Miss Shen is very pitiful. Recently, her family suffered a huge misfortune, so she's in a bad mood. I invited her over to cheer her up..."

Luo Qingcheng said "oh," and sat down with a sense of self-reproach, looking at the place where Shen Wan had gone.

Suddenly remembering something important, he hurriedly stood up and called out to the waiter downstairs.

"Waiter! The bird's nest soup, reduce to two portions!"

Turning around, she saw Yuan Peixin's somewhat surprised gaze and was slightly startled.

Plans can't keep up with changes. Shen Wan's appearance was unexpected for Ye Xiao. Had he done something wrong?

The answer is obviously yes.

Yuan Peixin remained silent for a moment, feeling that Luo Qingcheng's words and actions had clearly embarrassed her in public, and she was secretly displeased.

After a while, Ranran stood up and politely but coldly took her leave.

This was not in Ye Xiao's plan, so Luo Qingcheng became anxious and spoke without thinking.

"I ordered the young lady's favorite bird's nest soup... It would be such a waste to waste it..."

Yuan Peixin was still patient: "Just eat one more serving."

In his haste, Luo Qingcheng blurted out the truth: "This stuff is bland and tasteless, soft and mushy, like eating snot... and snot even tastes salty... I heard it's swallow saliva... and it sells for two hundred taels of silver a serving... who would be so bored as to eat this..."

Yuan Peixin's expression changed drastically, and he fled in panic.

Luo Qingcheng was baffled. He wanted to give chase, but hesitated and didn't move.

After thinking for a moment, he said to the waiter downstairs, "Waiter! I don't want any more bird's nest soup..."

Somewhat dejected, he went downstairs when a man jumped out from the side, grabbed him, and yelled, "Second brother, you idiot! How could you be so inconsiderate! You ordered three portions, so be it! You think you have any guts... You want to marry the eldest daughter of Langjing Manor, the second richest family in the world? You're so stingy..."

Luo Qingcheng explained in a low voice, "I didn't expect the prices of vegetables here to have increased dozens of times. I don't have enough silver notes... and I'm also afraid of wasting the money you worked so hard to earn..."

Ye Xiao continued to flare his legs: "Afraid of wasting the money I painstakingly earned? Afraid of wasting the great opportunity I painstakingly created? What am I earning money for? Isn't it so that you can successfully become the son-in-law of the Yuan family! I think you're not only a blockhead, but also a blockhead! And what's with all this snot..."

Luo Qingcheng's face darkened.

"I've always followed your earnest teachings! When things went wrong, why didn't you reflect on your own actions?"

Ye Xiao was truly exasperated: "It was unexpected that she brought Miss Shen along, why couldn't you adapt to the situation?"

Luo Qingcheng sneered: "I didn't agree with your plan in the first place. Your obsequious flattery is disgusting. Why bother with such pandering? I've never liked fawning over others."

"Then why did you come here to join the marriage contest? To compete with so many people for one girl? What else do you expect if you don't flatter me?"

Luo Qingcheng was stunned and speechless for a long time, suddenly feeling lost.

Why did you rush here in all this trouble?

"I'm not used to chasing women; women have always been the ones chasing me..." He finally found an excuse.

The restaurant erupted in laughter.

"That ugly freak dares to call himself a ladies' man..."

"How did those two delicate pink flowers end up stuck on this cow dung..."

"It's like... a toad trying to eat swan meat..."

As Luo Qingcheng listened, his face grew increasingly ashen, and finally, he left with a dark expression.

Wherever he went, all that could be heard were cries of pain. The young men who had previously made sarcastic remarks were scattered on the ground like a pile of dice that had been thrown, groaning incessantly.

Ye Xiao could be heard cursing behind him again: "You're incompetent, yet you can't even stand the slightest grievance! You make a big fuss over such a trivial matter, what kind of hero are you! You think you're so great in martial arts? You're just a reckless fool!"

Luo Qingcheng felt a tightness in his chest, an overwhelming sense of unease, and a heart full of resentment. He couldn't utter a single word and left dejectedly.

Ye Xiao was about to catch up when he was stopped by the waiter.

"Miss, this young master hasn't paid yet."

Ye Xiao snorted coldly and took out a silver note.

The waiter, still sporting his standard smile, said, "The three servings of bird's nest soup are ready and cannot be returned. Would you like to drink them, Miss?"

Ye Xiao tossed out the silver note: "You can drink these three bowls of snot yourself!"

I rushed out the door.

But looking around, there was no sign of Luo Qingcheng anywhere.

Xiao Xun happily bought a pot of wine, leaned against the window, and sang a song while drinking.

As I watched the moon slowly rise outside, I estimated the time and stood up to go home.

Suddenly, I heard someone sobbing softly at the next table. I looked over and was surprised to find that it was someone I knew.

complex

He knew that person, but he didn't know if that person still knew him.

Xiao Xun remembered his boss's instructions and went over.

"Miss Shen."

Shen Wan slowly raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. He was tall, handsome, and had a regular appearance. He looked somewhat familiar.

Wiping away her tears, she whispered, "May I ask who you are, young master?"

"My name is Xiao Xun. I met Miss Shen once at the Shen residence. At that time, I inquired about the circumstances surrounding your father's passing."

"No wonder you look familiar. It's Young Master Xiao." With a stranger present, Shen Wan wiped away her tears and became unusually reserved.

"Is there something troubling you, Miss?" Xiao Xun asked gently as he sat down opposite her.

Shen Wan slowly regained her rationality and control, and her expression gradually calmed down. She said in a low voice, "My family has suffered misfortune. I am saddened by my own fate, hence my tears. I hope you will forgive me, Young Master Xiao..."

Xiao Xun sighed: "Is there any progress on your father's matter?"

Shen Wan slowly lowered her head: "No... However, in my lifetime, I will spare no effort to find the murderer and avenge myself..."

Xiao Xun gave an "oh," then suddenly became somewhat uneasy: "You... also think it was done by people from the Netherworld City?"

Shen Wan was slightly taken aback: "This... didn't my father have the Netherworld Reaper's Talisman on him? Besides, didn't Alliance Leader Huang conclude that my father died from the Netherworld Heart-Shattering Palm? How could he be wrong?"

Xiao Xun pondered for a moment: "The Netherworld Divine Skill and the Eighteen Forms of the Netherworld have been lost to the martial arts world for a long time... Could it be that Huang Chongshan made a mistake? Or... Hmm, I heard that the Martial Alliance had a feud with the Netherworld City twenty years ago. Could he be taking revenge and framing the Netherworld City?"

"Framed?" Shen Wan suddenly looked up, carefully scrutinized Xiao Xun, and said decisively, "No way. The Martial Alliance has always acted fairly, and my father has always held an important position within it... They would never do something so despicable..."

Xiao Xun cleverly changed the subject: "Oh? Is that so? I don't know much about the Martial Alliance. This is my first time venturing into the martial world. I've always lived in the Western Regions, far from the Central Plains. This is my first time entering the pass, my first time seeing the customs and culture of the Central Plains... It's truly been an eye-opening and eye-opening experience. I've also found two brothers... Hmm, let me tell you about them. Oh, my brothers, one is named Ye Xiao, and the other is named Luo Qingcheng..."

Shen Wan paused for a moment, then hesitated and asked, "Luo Qingcheng?"

Xiao Xun nodded hastily: "He's the second son, but he really doesn't like being the second son, he's very resistant... He'll beat someone up if you call him the second son, but... he has no choice, he wants to become the live-in son-in-law of Langjing Manor, and he needs the eldest son's help..."

"Boss?" Shen Wan asked shyly.

Xiao Xun grinned and said, "Ye Xiao, our boss is very smart and powerful... You don't know, we were originally penniless... It was all thanks to our boss's amazing abilities..." He boasted to Shen Wan with great admiration and sycophancy about the details of their journey, adding embellishments to highlight his own glorious image.

Shen Wan listened intently, a smile slowly spreading across her face.

Shen Wan's expression changed in an instant.

Xiao Xun then spoke of Huang Tingfeng, the stunningly beautiful man from the Martial Alliance: "...The Martial Alliance bullied the weak with numbers, broke their promises, and although they had agreed not to pursue the matter further, they still wanted to kill him outright... Just at this critical moment, I heard a loud shout, and I leaped down from the beam, blocking the fatal blow and saving the second brother's life..."

Shen Wan seemed stunned for a moment, and her tears suddenly fell like beads from a broken string.

Xiao Xun was momentarily stunned, then suddenly overjoyed, tears welling in his eyes. He was indeed a remarkable hero; not only had he moved the beautiful woman to tears, but he had also been moved himself…

Shen Wan suddenly stood up and lunged at Xiao Xun.

With a loud bang, Xiao Xun felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded above his head. Wasn't this developing too fast? He wasn't prepared at all... yet he couldn't help but open his arms.

The beautiful Shen ran around his broad arms, rushed behind him, and threw herself into his embrace. She hugged him tightly, rubbing her delicate face against his chest, and sobbed softly, "How could you be so careless? What conflict did you have with the martial arts alliance? Are you badly hurt?"

Xiao Xun turned around in astonishment, feeling utterly devastated, staring fixedly at the ugly monster standing behind him like a pillar.

"Second brother?" he asked blankly.

He was immediately met with Luo Qingcheng's piercing gaze.

It was crisscrossed and crisscrossed, as if its body had been cut into pieces.

As expected of Qingcheng, he flies into a rage whenever someone calls him "Second Brother"... Of course, this time he can't jump because he has a beautiful woman in his arms...

"You... poured out your hearts... I'll head back now..."

Xiao Xun sighed and said magnanimously, "Disappointment is disappointment, but we still have to smooth things over."

The moonlight flowed like water in the courtyard, and a few fireflies flew slowly in the air, like crystal-clear night-shining pearls.

Ye Xiao paced back and forth at the door, like a donkey pulling a millstone.

Ever since Luo Qingcheng angrily left Qingyun Tower, she has searched all over Langjing Manor but has never seen him.

Why aren't they back yet? ...Could they have given up after such a small setback?

Despite my disdain, I was still worried deep down.

The old night watchman struck his clapper twice, slowly walked past the door, and cast another worried glance at her.
