Han Tianyu took Mr. Chu to a guest room.
After checking that there was no one outside, Han Tianyu gently closed the door, turned around and walked to the old man, bowed ninety degrees, and said respectfully: "Junior, Nangong Yu greets the head of the Dongfang family!"
The old man was slightly stunned at first, then he slowly stepped forward, gently stroked Han Tianyu's shoulders with both hands, helped him up, and then smiled and said, "So it's the kid from the Nangong family. How did you recognize me? You haven't seen me in your lifetime!"
Hearing the old man's question, Han Tianyu replied respectfully and sincerely: "In reply to your question, there is a photo of you and grandpa in the secret hall of the Nangong family. Before he passed away, grandpa also told me the story of you and him when you were young, as well as the mission of the three hermit families!"
"Alright, brat, you're just like your grandfather! So stubborn! Stop being so stern. The Dongfang clan disappeared long ago, and I'm just Chu Yun now!"
The old man's voice was steady and powerful, with a smile on his face. Although his words were gentle, they had a power that was hard to resist.
The man nodded slightly, expressing his respectful agreement. Suddenly, he hesitated, his face showing an awkward expression, and looked at Mr. Chu with a flickering look in his eyes.
Noticing the change in the man's expression, the old man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Just tell me what you want to say! But is it about the Helian family?"
Hearing the old man's question, Han Tianyu's pupils dilated slightly and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly. He suppressed his admiration for Mr. Chu's foresight, thought about it but still didn't know where to start.
The room fell silent for a long time. Finally, the man seemed to muster up a lot of courage before he slowly asked, "Dongfang... No, Mr. Chu, this matter involves the Jiang and Fu families. I wonder if you can tell them your identity?"
Old Master Chu did not respond, but just kept looking at the man.
"I guarantee with the Nangong family that these two great families are absolutely trustworthy. Moreover, the Helian family is targeting them this time, and they have been planning for more than 20 years. If this matter is not resolved in time, I am afraid that the peace in the imperial capital will not last long!"
Han Tianyu spoke with trembling courage, wanting the old man to recognize the two major families and reveal his identity. What he hoped even more was that the old man could return to the imperial capital, or help them secretly to completely solve this problem.
"Tianyu, do you know why I left the imperial capital?" Old Master Chu asked sternly.
When Han Tianyu heard the old man's question, he shook his head in confusion and indicated that he didn't know.
"For so many years, no one knew that the Dongfang family had twins; only that the elder brother died tragically and the younger sister disappeared. Back then, in order to find my daughter, I hurriedly left the imperial capital and handed it over to your grandfather. I told your grandfather that I just wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains and return to peace. But I was afraid that other families would target you, the only remaining hermit family, so I announced to the public that all hermit families would withdraw from the ranks of the imperial capital's aristocratic families! But after all these years, I still haven't found my daughter, and my grandson was poisoned. Isn't my life miserable?"
After hearing what Mr. Chu said, Han Tianyu didn't know whether to comfort him or continue to persuade him, but he was still unwilling to give up, so he said boldly: "If I help you find the eldest lady, I also beg you to lend a hand and return to the imperial capital!"
The room fell silent again.
Old Master Chu closed his eyes slightly, as if he was in deep thought or reminiscing. Han Tianyu did not urge him or say anything, but just waited silently by his side, waiting for the old master to speak again.
"......Why......."
A heavy sigh sounded in the room, and the old man opened his eyes again. The turbidity in his eyes became clear, and his face became solemn and serious. He looked at Han Tianyu and said in a calm and low voice: "Well! Some things should be resolved!"
Han Tianyu understood the meaning of the old man's words, and subconsciously loosened his hands that had been clenched tightly due to excessive nervousness. He exhaled a breath, felt relieved, and bowed deeply.
"Thank you for your help, old man! I will also send someone to investigate the eldest lady's matter!"
When talking about his daughter, the old man's expression inadvertently revealed the vicissitudes of time, which were fleeting.
"Okay, I won't force you to do that! Is your father in the imperial capital?"
Hearing the question, Han Tianyu still replied in a deep and respectful voice, and mentioned the previously agreed meeting: "Father will be back next week. He has an appointment with the Jiang and Fu families to discuss matters concerning the Helian family. Then... you, old man?"
Han Tianyu's awkward look of wanting to say something but not being able to really make Old Man Chu laugh, and then he heard him laugh unscrupulously; "Don't worry! I will go back to the imperial capital with Ah Xing, and I will go there naturally when the time comes! I promised you something, brat, how can I lie to you?"
"The old man is a man of his word! He certainly wouldn't lie to me! And those people outside..."
"There's no need to hide it deliberately. How much they know depends on their abilities!" The old man instantly understood Han Tianyu's meaning and interrupted him. Since he decided to return to the imperial capital, his identity would be exposed sooner or later, so he naturally didn't care whether it was known to others.
Looking at the highly respected old man in front of him, who was so amiable at this moment, like a naughty old boy who was fascinating, Han Tianyu instantly put aside his inner uneasiness, and even his eyes were filled with confidence that he had never had before.
Imperial Capital! A bloody storm is about to begin. The Hermit Family is about to return to power!
