【Chapter 040】Meeting my sister-in-law
The Great Elder of Southern Xinjiang did say these words, but they were not said to them father and son.
At that time, the Great Elder of Southern Xinjiang was with a gentle and pretty young woman, and the two of them were talking to each other in silence. Ye Yishen happened to be not far away from the two of them.
The two men saw that he was a sickly child and simply ignored his existence.
Therefore, he listened to most of the conversation between the two.
The woman saw that the Great Elder of Southern Xinjiang had a short flute hanging around his waist, so she said that she wanted to listen to some music and asked the Great Elder of Southern Xinjiang to play it for her.
However, he was rejected by the Great Elder of Southern Xinjiang, who said that the piccolo was a sacred object of Southern Xinjiang and he was only keeping it for safekeeping. When a new young master is elected in Southern Xinjiang, he will hand the piccolo to that person.
The woman refused to give in and snatched the flute and tried to blow it a few times, but no sound came out. The Great Elder of Southern Xinjiang told her that only the person chosen by the Gu King could blow the bell.
Out of curiosity, Ye Yishen took a few more glances at the piccolo.
Piccolo is usually made of bamboo or wood, but that piccolo is made of jade. The white jade with green in it is crystal clear, looks elegant and noble, and it is hard not to like it.
Because it was special, Ye Yisheng remembered it.
After hearing Ye Yishen's words, Huo Zichen thought that Ye Xian knew the great elder. So he thought for a moment and said, "I agree to your terms, and I hope you will keep your promise to me."
"Of course, my Ye family is a merchant. The most important thing for a merchant is integrity."
Ye Yishen winked at the security guard.
A security guard immediately came to help Huo Zichen untie him.
Ye Yisheng instructed the housekeeper Du who had just come in: "Housekeeper Du, please arrange a guest room for Mr. Huo, have someone serve him well, and ask a doctor to check Mr. Huo's injuries."
"Yes, I will do it right away."
As soon as Butler Du waved his hand, two guards came forward, intending to carry Huo Zichen out.
"etc."
Huo Zichen quickly spoke out to stop him and turned to look at Ye Yishen.
Ye Yisheng seemed to know what Huo Zichen was going to say. Without waiting for him to speak, he said, "When Mr. Huo removes the Gu from my family, I will return all your things to you."
Hearing the determination in Ye Yisheng's words, Huo Zichen could only nod in agreement.
Soon Huo Zichen was carried out by the guards.
Ye Yisheng stood up and before leaving, he instructed the guards: "Keep an eye on Qi Mu and his sister, don't let them die for now."
"yes."
The other side.
After buying some food, Nangong Chenyu took Xiaoliu and four guards and walked towards Nangong Mansion according to the route he remembered.
The group soon arrived at the gate of Nangong Mansion.
However, when Nangong Chenyu saw two gatekeepers standing at the door, he thought he had come to the wrong place. You know, the Nangong Mansion hasn't had servants for many years.
For this reason, he deliberately looked up at the plaque. The three big characters "Nangong Mansion" were still there, and he was sure that he was not in the wrong place.
Nangong Suhao was having breakfast. When he saw Nangong Chenyu coming in, he subconsciously asked, "Xiaoyu, were you driven back by Ye Yisheng?"
What you said!
It made him feel like he had been returned something.
Nangong Chenyu rolled his eyes at his elder brother.
Xiaoliu, who followed Nangong Chenyu one step behind, walked into the house and called out respectfully, "Hello, Young Master Nangong."
Nangong Suhao nodded stiffly.
"These are the pastries bought by my brother-in-law." Xiaoliu put the things in his hand on the table.
Nangong Suhao: Son-in-law? Not being driven back?
When only the two brothers were in the dining room, Nangong Suhao lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on? Weren't you driven back by Ye Yisheng?"
“With my abilities, how could I be driven back?” Nangong Chenyu sat down opposite Nangong Suhao.
"Then do you still want to go back to the Ye Mansion?"
"Of course I have to go back."
Nangong Chenyu answered without hesitation.
He saved Ye Yishen, but has not received any thanks from him. Moreover, there were people serving him in the Ye Mansion, and most importantly, the food cooked in the kitchen was very much to his liking.
In his previous life, he was poor all his life because he had no resources for cultivation. Since he had the opportunity to enjoy himself in this life, he naturally couldn't treat himself badly.
Seeing that he answered firmly and as a matter of course, Nangong Suhao once again suspected that he was attracted to Ye Yisheng's face. However, since he was rejected outright the last time he asked, Nangong Suhao did not ask about it again.
"How many days do you plan to stay before returning to the Ye Mansion?"
Nangong Chenyu originally wanted to stay for lunch before going back, but after tasting the breakfast on the table, he gave up the idea of staying for lunch.
"I'll be leaving soon."
"You're in such a hurry, why don't you stay for lunch?"
"No, the food at home is not as delicious as that at the Ye Mansion." Nangong Chenyu said bluntly.
Nangong Suhao: "..."
Suddenly I felt that the food on the table didn’t taste good anymore.
"Brother, try the pastries I bought." Nangong Chenyu opened the pastries that Xiaoliu had placed on the table, took a piece for himself first, and then pushed it in front of Nangong Suhao.
The aroma of peach blossom pastry wafted in the air. Nangong Suhao gave up the breakfast made by the cook and started eating pastries with Nangong Chenyu.
The two of us took turns eating, and the box of pastries was soon empty.
After eating and drinking, Nangong Suhao asked, "By the way, how is your cultivation going?"
Nangong Chenyu: "I encountered a little problem."
Nangong Suhao didn't know much about cultivation, so he didn't ask what the problem was. He just said, "Don't worry, we have money anyway."
Then he stood up and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see the silver that father left for us."
Soon, the two brothers arrived at a miscellaneous room in the backyard of Nangong Mansion. Nangong Suhao opened the mechanism of the dark room with familiarity and walked in with Nangong Chenyu.
There were several boxes in the dark room of about ten square meters, and Nangong Suhao opened them one by one.
Some of the boxes contained antique calligraphy and paintings; some of the boxes contained gold ingots; some of the boxes contained gold and silver jewelry; and there was also a small box filled with silver bills.
Nangong Suhao opened the last box and said, "This box is full of jade. The jade I brought you last time was from this box. Take a look at the remaining ones and see if they are of any use to you."
Walking to the box where the jade stones were kept, Nangong Chenyu picked up a piece at random. Feel the spiritual energy inside and you can use it to set up a simple formation.
"Brother, I want all these jades."
"OK."
Nangong Suhao had no objection at all. To him, these jades were not as good as real gold and silver. After closing the box, he asked, "Should we keep these jade stones in Nangong Mansion, or take them to Ye——"
Before he even asked the word "mansion", Nangong Suhao saw the box containing the jade disappear out of thin air. He blinked to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
"Where did you take the box of jade?"
Nangong Chenyu didn't mention the space ring. He handed Madam Ye's Qiankun bag to Nangong Suhao: "This is a Qiankun bag used by cultivators. It has three cubic meters of storage space."
Taking the Qiankun bag, Nangong Suhao looked at it curiously. The bag is only the size of a palm and it’s hard to tell what material it’s made of. It’s hard to imagine that such a small thing can hold objects that are much larger than itself.
"Why is there no opening?"
Nangong Chenyu smiled and said, "If there is a hole in the Qiankun bag, the things inside will fall out. After you draw the Qi into your body, you will be able to use it as your own. Then, you can put some commonly used items in it."
Nangong Suhao was surprised: "You want to give it to me?"
Nangong Chenyu nodded: "Yes, I have other storage magic weapons."
"Xiao Yu, you are so nice to your brother." As he said that, Nangong Suhao wanted to give Nangong Chenyu a bear hug, but Nangong Chenyu easily dodged it.
"Men should not touch each other." Nangong Chenyu said sternly and distanced himself from Nangong Suhao.
"When you were a kid, you were as fat as a ball. I couldn't hold you at all, but you cried and begged me to hold you!" Nangong Suhao said with resentment in his eyes.
Nangong Chenyu frowned: "Brother, can we please not mention our past dark history in the future!"
"It's okay. You can also talk about my past dark history. I don't mind at all." Nangong Suhao said indifferently.
Nangong Chenyu: “…”
When I was a child, there was only a wisp of soul in this body and I couldn't remember anything, let alone Nangong Suhao's dark history.
"By the way, Xiao Yu, now you have a storage magic weapon, why don't we divide these things." Nangong Suhao suggested.
"feasible."
Cultivators usually carry their belongings with them, and Nangong Chenyu has long been accustomed to this.
Soon, the two divided the contents of the dark room into two. Nangong Chenyu put his share into the space ring. As for Nangong Suhao's share, he helped him put it into the Qiankun bag and only kept some of the silver notes.
After leaving the dark room, Nangong Chenyu handed Nangong Suhao a jade pendant: "Brother, wear this jade pendant on your body and never take it off under any circumstances."
"Okay." Nangong Suhao didn't ask any more questions. He took the jade pendant and put it on.
Looking at the sky, he estimated that it would be another hour before lunch, so Nangong Chenyu said, "Brother, I'm going back to the Ye Mansion first. I'll come back to see you another day."
Nangong Suhao suddenly remembered something: "I have to go on a long trip tomorrow."
"Going away? Where are you going?"
"Go to Xiqi."
"What are you going to do in Xiqi?"
"A good friend of mine invited me to visit the Western Qi Kingdom."
"Then be careful and don't be fooled." Nangong Chenyu glanced at his eldest brother's clothes and sincerely suggested: "Brother, you'd better wear something a little tattered."
He didn't object to Nangong Suhao going out for fun. Over the years, Nangong Suhao has never left Guyuan County because he wanted to take care of him. Moreover, Nangong Suhao has martial arts skills.
Nangong Suhao took the opportunity to look down at the clothes he was wearing and nodded thoughtfully.
Not long after leaving Nangong Mansion, Nangong Chenyu saw a somewhat familiar figure in the crowd.
Xiaoliu could tell at a glance who the owner of the back was.
"Miss."
"Miss?" Nangong Chenyu asked, "Ye Yixin?"
Xiao Liu nodded: "Strange, didn't the eldest master forbid the young lady to leave the house?"
After taking a look at the girl's back, Nangong Chenyu concluded: "Looking at the clothes she's wearing, she must have come out through a dog hole."
Xiaoliu's mouth twitched slightly.
"Let's go and take a look." Nangong Chenyu's eyes flashed with curiosity. He wanted to see with his own eyes what a love-brain is. The story of Ye Yixin being in love was only briefly mentioned in the script.
Ye Yixin had no idea that someone was following her. She walked into Xiu Luoshang with her personal maid. Her clothes were stained from crawling through the dog hole, so she needed to change her clothes.
