The day before the Nanyou delegation left.
In a certain three-story house in the east of the city, a tall guard stood outside a small courtyard in the outer courtyard and shouted:
"Boss, someone outside is looking for you!"
Inside the house, Leng Yan, who had spent three years learning painting, sketched the boy's outline on the paper stroke by stroke.
Two other portraits can be vaguely seen on the desk. The people in the portraits are the same person, but the postures are different.
The rough lines and blurred treatment show that the painter's skills are not very good, but the face of the person in the painting is painted very clearly and vividly.
I wonder how many paintings the painter must have created to be able to paint the same person's face so skillfully.
Hearing the shouting outside, Leng Yan put the paintbrush aside, pressed down the drawing paper with only a face drawn on it, opened the door and went out.
"Who's looking for me?"
"I've never seen him before. He looks like a servant from some family."
Leng Yan nodded and walked silently all the way to the mansion gate. He saw a man in gray waiting at the gatehouse.
The guard was right. The man in gray looked ordinary, and the clothes he wore looked like the standard uniform of a servant in a wealthy family.
He looked like a servant of some household.
Seeing Leng Yan coming out, the gray-clothed man who had not said his purpose until now said, "My young master would like to invite you to Huayang Tower for a chat."
Leng Yan only asked: "Who is your young master?"
"You'll know when you get there, young master."
Leng Yan was considering whether to go or not. A guard, angered by the gray-clothed man's insincere attitude, curled his lips and said, "If you don't tell us who your young master is, how can we know if you are a liar?"
The man in gray was very calm. His young master had already told him what to do in this situation.
"My young master said that you and him had met once before, and he hopes to get to know you before leaving."
A brief encounter, before leaving, could it be...
Leng Yan nodded: "Lead the way."
When they arrived at Huayang Tower, Leng Yan was taken to a private room. The man in gray retreated silently, meaning to let him go in by himself.
Leng Yan pushed open the door of the private room without any emotion, and sure enough, he saw a man he had met once inside.
He closed the door and sat down opposite the man.
Then he looked quietly at the other person in the private room, as if asking, "What do you want from me?"
"I'm Nan Rongxu, you should know me."
Nan Rongxu poured a cup of tea smoothly and pushed it in front of Leng Yan.
Leng Yan took a look, didn't move, and hummed lightly.
Of course he knew Nan Rongxu, a disgusting person.
Very annoying!
When Leng Yan saw Nan Rongxu for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a deep disgust towards him.
Maybe it's because Nan Rongxu and he have a very similar face;
It could also be that Yan Cheng's gaze on Nan Rongxu that day made him feel a sense of crisis;
It could also be due to something else.
In short, Nan Rongxu is annoying.
But while he hated Nan Rongxu, he couldn't help but feel curious about her.
He probably didn't know Nan Rongxu before, but he had an instinctive aversion to Nan Rongxu.
What ability did Nan Rongxu have to make him, who was emotionally indifferent, feel such strong emotions?
Perhaps it was Leng Yan's overly cold attitude that made Nan Rongxu uncomfortable, and the gentleness on his face froze for a moment.
A feeling of frustration arises.
But when he thought about his subordinates' investigation that the man in front of him was indifferent to everyone except Qu Zhaoyun, Nan Rongxu cheered up again.
He clasped his hands together and placed them on the table, looking at the man with a cold face sincerely.
"I'm going back to Nanyou tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?"
Before Leng Yan could refuse, he said, "Don't be so hasty to refuse. Listen to me."
Leng Yan looked indifferent, wondering what he could come up with.
Nan Rongxu and Leng Yan looked at each other, pointing at their own faces with calm expressions.
"Looking at my face, which is 70% similar to yours, don't you think there is some connection between us?"
“I don’t think so.”
Leng Yan denied it outright, his eyes becoming a little colder.
In fact, he had a hunch that there must be some kind of relationship between them, but he would not admit it.
Nan Rongxu was not surprised by this answer. If Leng Yan cared about their relationship, he would have found him first.
On the contrary...
The one who cared about the relationship between them was actually himself.
Nan Rongxu's eyes traced Leng Yan's cheek inch by inch. They looked so alike, could there really be no relationship between them?
When he first learned about Leng Yan's existence, he thought it was normal for there to be two people in the world who looked similar.
But later, every time he saw his face in the mirror, he would think of Leng Yan whom he had met before.
Then he couldn't help but wonder, is there really no blood relationship between them?
"You really look like someone from our Nanrong family."
At this moment, looking at Leng Yan's eyebrows, Nan Rongxu said with emotion.
Perhaps he is really the lost descendant of the Nanrong family.
He asked, "Have your parents ever told you anything before?"
He only knew that Leng Yan was now an orphan and had followed the eighth prince of Da Xia, Qu Zhaoyun, for many years. He did not know Leng Yan's past.
"I don't remember."
Leng Yan was telling the truth. People who have no memory of the past don’t even know whether they have parents.
Even though he wanted to draw a clear line between himself and Nan Rongxu, Leng Yan disdained to lie.
Nan Rongxu's understanding was that many years had passed, and even if Leng Yan's parents had really said something to him, he couldn't remember it clearly.
But it doesn't matter.
He raised this topic just to stimulate discussion.
"I might be the bloodline of our Nanrong family left behind. Come back to Nanyou with me, and I will find out which branch you come from."
