"How dare you! Have you ever seen a monk drinking alcohol and eating meat?" The father interrupted the second brother.

Yes, which monk would drink alcohol and eat meat at will? He would have no psychological burden at all when wrongly accusing others. But this monk always pretends to be decent.

Xu Tianze's chuckle successfully attracted the attention of everyone present. However, Xu Tianze didn't feel awkward at all. He looked at Master Yun jokingly and said, "Little bastard? Master Yun has such a nickname? If my second brother knew about this, he would be extremely excited, right?"

Master Liaoyun was also a little embarrassed. He had just been listening to his son's laughter in the room, and now he had brought trouble upon himself. And he naturally knew that Xu Tianze was teasing him, because he had tricked the two brothers when they first met.

Xu Tianze's second brother Xu Shiping was also stubborn. He often caused trouble for him in those years, which made him very troublesome. Xu Tianze was worthy of being Xu Shiping's younger brother. He was just as petty and still held a grudge.

"Dear guest, please come in." Master Leyun didn't know how to pay attention to Xu Tianze's teasing, so he had to bow to everyone, then turned sideways and gestured to Xu Tianze and Long Musi to come in and sit down.

The host snorted coldly and walked away cursing. Xu Tianze and Long Musi looked at each other, nodded, and followed Master Yun into the house.

The room was simply furnished with just a wooden table and a brick bed, on which stood a small bedside table and a patched-up thin quilt.

"My humble abode is simple, so I'm sorry to trouble Your Highness and Mr. Xu San." Master Leyun did not feel awkward at all because of the simple house. He calmly poured a glass of water for Xu Tianze and Long Musi respectively.

"Even in a humble room, one can still have lofty aspirations. There are immortals living in the deep mountains. This is wonderful." Long Musi politely accepted the water from Master Yun, and then praised him out of respect.

"Why are you pretending to be so refined?" Xu Tianze rolled his eyes at the two of them in dissatisfaction.

He knew both of them well. One pretended to be a high-ranking monk, yet secretly cheated on his wife right under the Buddha's nose. The other appeared gentle and graceful, but in reality, he was arrogant and prone to irritation. The two of them acted like decent people in front of him, which really made him feel uncomfortable.

Xu Tianze's words successfully aroused the hatred of the two people, and they rolled their eyes in joy.

"Master Liaoyun, since you know that the two of us are here, then you understand why we are here, right?" Xu Tianze was too lazy to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

His words immediately made the atmosphere, which had just been heated up, suddenly become tense. Long Musi drank water tactically, but his eyes were always on Master Yun's movements.

It was even more obvious with Xu Tianze. After he asked this question, he unconsciously became nervous and uneasy.

Master Liaoyun sighed. He thought, what was coming will come, but if it is not necessary, he does not want to come back at all. A moment of impatience will eventually drag him into this vortex.

"I understand." Master Leyun nodded, then comforted Xu Tianze: "I respect Prime Minister Xu the most and will never do anything to betray him."

Leyun's words immediately dispelled Xu Tianze's uneasiness. Although Xu Tianze had always disliked Master Leyun's behavior, he had never doubted Master Leyun's character.

Moreover, with Master Leyun's appeal, if anyone really wanted to harm him or the Xu family, he only needed to spread the news that the Xu family had rebellious intentions, and there would be plenty of people who would respond.

However, from the beginning to the end, Master Yun never appeared during the downfall of the Xu family. Even at that time, Master Yun was still traveling outside, making it even more impossible for him to be among them.

Xu Tianze was obviously relieved, and Long Musi asked the next question: "Master Leyun has returned from his travels this time, but..."

Le Yun shook his head and interrupted Long Musi. Since he came here specially to receive Xu Tianze and Long Musi, he could probably guess what they were thinking, but many things could not be revealed casually.

"I have returned from my wanderings in a hurry, simply because an old friend entrusted me with this. There is no other reason." After Le Yun finished speaking, the reluctance in his eyes seemed to have turned into reality. "Master Xu, your relatives are still alive."

Logically speaking, Xu Tianze should have been happy after hearing Master Yun's words, but the emotion in Master Yun's eyes was too obvious, which made Xu Tianze's heart skip a beat.

If his relatives were still alive, it would be a cause for Xu Tianze to be happy. However, Master Leyun's words made Xu Tianze's bad premonition even more solid.

Just when Xu Tianze was about to ask more questions, there was suddenly a lot of noise outside the house.

"Get out of the way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

"It seems that the last distinguished guest has arrived. Why don't you two follow me to welcome him?" Master Leyun ignored the ugly expressions of Xu Tianze and Long Musi, and stood up and walked out first.

The voice was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar. Xu Tianze knew who it was as soon as he heard it. He didn't expect to meet him here, and at such a critical time.

Song Yu was still arguing with Ma Zheng and Long Yi. His servant Dai Nian had even drawn his sword, waiting for Song Yu's order to rush forward.

The sound of the door opening instantly attracted everyone's attention. Song Yu had only seen Master Yun, and couldn't help but look behind Master Yun.

When he saw Xu Tianze, his face was filled with joy. Before the smile could grow bigger, he saw Long Musi next to Xu Tianze, and his face quickly darkened for a moment.

Long Yi/Ma Zheng/Dai Nian who witnessed the whole process:

Master Liaoyun shook his head helplessly and commented: "Fool..."

Before Song Yu could figure out who the "idiot" was referring to, he was invited into the house by Master Yun in a daze and sat next to Xu Tianze.

Master Liaoyun was quietly holding the cup in his hand. Opposite him was Xu Tianze. On one side of Xu Tianze was Long Musi with a caring look in his eyes, and on the other side was Song Yu with a happy face.

As for Xu Tianze's gloomy expression in the middle, Master Yun simply ignored it. After all, the table was only so big, so it was just right for them to sit like that. It was definitely not an arrangement he made because he wanted to watch a show.

Song Yu, who had become half a lapdog since meeting Xu Tianze, did not notice Master Yun's teasing gaze or Long Musi's hidden hostility at all. He even praised Master Yun as a good person in his heart.

"Aze, are you okay today?" Song Yu hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to speak first.

"Yes, very well. Ever since the Xu family disappeared, I've been eating well, drinking well, and sleeping soundly." Xu Tianze replied to Song Yu coldly. Feeling unsatisfied, he added, "Prince, please call me by my name. The name Aze doesn't suit you or me."
