Beichen Wenxiong then said, "In that case, please move to the inner hall, Mr. Ye, so that I may entertain you."
Ye Feng didn't say much, but turned to look at Qiu Miaozhen.
Qiu Miaozhen shook her head and said, "No need, Uncle. I came back to visit my parents. Let's chat another time when we have time."
Upon hearing Qiu Miaozhen's words, Bei Chenxifeng's expression immediately turned even more unpleasant.
Kita no Fumio showed no displeasure. Instead, he nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, let's talk another day."
Qiu Miaozhen grabbed Ye Feng's hand and pulled him toward the south wing.
Watching Qiu Miaozhen and Ye Feng walk away, Bei Chen Xifeng was furious.
However, just as he opened his mouth to say something, Kitashita Fumio interrupted, "Don't go crazy here. Let's go inside and talk."
"yes."
Beichen Xifeng said in a deep, muffled voice.
Ye Feng followed Qiu Miaozhen to the side courtyard of the Beichen family and entered the south wing.
As soon as Ye Feng arrived at the house where Qiu Miaozhen's mother was, he saw a woman cleaning inside.
The woman looked to be in her forties, but she was already showing signs of premature aging, appearing to be in her fifties or sixties.
Not only are there wrinkles around her eyes, but her hair has also turned gray, and she has a slight hunchback.
It's clear that this woman had a very difficult life in the past few decades, otherwise she wouldn't be in this situation.
"mother!"
Qiu Miaozhen shouted.
Qiu Miaozhen's mother immediately looked towards the door, and when she saw Qiu Miaozhen return, her face lit up with joy.
"Miaozhen, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for days! Are you hungry? Have you eaten anything?" Qiu Miaozhen's mother dropped the broom in her hand and ran to Qiu Miaozhen.
Qiu Miaozhen smiled and shook her head: "I'm not hungry. I'm a martial artist, not an ordinary person. I can go without food for days and nights without any problem."
"Food is essential for life! You just wait, when your father comes back, I'll cook you something delicious!" Qiu Miaozhen's mother said happily.
Then Qiu Miaozhen's mother looked at Ye Feng with a curious expression.
"Miaozhen, who is this...?" Qiu Miaozhen's mother asked.
Qiu Miaozhen then realized that she had forgotten to introduce him, so she quickly said, "Mother, his name is Ye Feng, he is also a disciple of our Ling Shui Sect, and he is my junior brother."
Then Qiu Miaozhen said to Ye Feng, "Junior brother, this is my mother, her name is Liu Xianghui."
"Hello, Auntie," Ye Feng said with a smile.
Liu Xianghui looked at Qiu Miaozhen's hand, and her expression became somewhat strange.
Qiu Miaozhen looked down and realized that she was still holding Ye Feng's hand.
So she quickly released her delicate hand and changed the subject, saying, "Has my father not returned yet?"
"Almost there, almost there, probably in another half an hour..."
Before Liu Xianghui could finish speaking, a middle-aged man's voice came from outside, and he sounded very excited.
"Is it Miaozhen who's back? As soon as I walked in the door, the servants at the gate told me that Miaozhen was back, and she brought a man with her, hahaha..."
As a burst of hearty laughter rang out, a middle-aged man in a short jacket strode in.
This middle-aged man was undoubtedly Qiu Miaozhen's father. He was not much older than Liu Xianghui, but he also looked a bit old.
Moreover, there were many peeling areas on his face, which clearly showed that he had been frequently at sea recently and had been exposed to the sea breeze.
“Junior brother, this is my father, Qiu Yuanming,” Qiu Miaozhen introduced.
"Hello, Uncle, my name is Ye Feng," Ye Feng said with a smile.
Qiu Yuanming walked over and looked Ye Feng up and down a few times, then said with a smile, "Although you're not very good-looking, you look quite sturdy!"
As he spoke, Qiu Yuanming patted Ye Feng's shoulder a few times forcefully.
Seeing that the night wind remained completely still, Qiu Yuanming nodded again, becoming even more certain of his earlier assessment.
Liu Xianghui smiled and said, "You two sit down and chat, I'll go prepare dinner."
"Mom, I'm not hungry, I'm not in a hurry."
"You're not hungry, but I'm starving! I've been at sea all day and haven't eaten anything at noon. My stomach is growling! Xianghui, don't be stingy. Miaozhen rarely comes back. Cut some more beef and warm up a pot of wine!" Qiu Yuanming laughed loudly.
"knew."
Liu Xianghui nodded and walked out of the house toward the kitchen.
Less than half an hour later, Liu Xianghui had prepared dinner.
Ye Feng then sat down at the dining table with Qiu Miaozhen and ate with Qiu Yuanming and Liu Xianghui.
Qiu Yuanming was a chatterbox. He boasted to Qiu Miaozhen and Ye Feng about his fishing experiences at sea, and also told them some strange and unusual stories about the sea.
Night Breeze didn't interrupt, but just listened quietly.
Liu Xianghui was getting impatient. She glared at Qiu Yuanming and said, "That's enough. Even eating can't shut you up."
“Miaozhen only comes back once a year. What’s wrong with me talking to her a few more times?” Qiu Yuanming said, glaring at her.
"Let's talk about it after we finish eating," Liu Xianghui said.
Qiu Yuanming finally picked up his rice bowl and quickly shoveled rice into his mouth.
Qiu Miaozhen felt a little embarrassed and said through telepathy, "I'm sorry, junior brother, I'm sorry you had to see this."
"It's nothing, I think it's fine." Ye Feng shook his head and said in a telepathic message.
Seeing that Ye Feng really didn't seem impatient, Qiu Miaozhen felt much more at ease.
The night grew deeper.
Liu Xianghui prepared an empty room for Ye Feng, and Ye Feng went in to rest.
After Ye Feng entered the room, Liu Xianghui took Qiu Miaozhen's delicate hand and led her to the living room.
Qiu Yuanming closed the living room door and then sat down with Liu Xianghui in front of Qiu Miaozhen.
"Miaozhen, what's the deal with that man?" Qiu Yuanming asked in a low voice.
Qiu Miaozhen laughed and said, "What's going on? Didn't I already introduce him? His name is Ye Feng, and he's my junior brother."
“You have so many junior brothers in the Ling Shui Sect. Why didn’t you bring any of them back when you came back for the festival a few years ago? Why did you bring one back this time? That guy must have a special relationship with you, otherwise why would you bring him home?” Liu Xianghui said with great certainty.
Qiu Miaozhen gave a wry smile.
His mother was right; his relationship with Ye Feng was indeed unusual.
However, the relationship between myself and Ye Feng is definitely not the kind of relationship my parents think it is.
Qiu Miaozhen then earnestly explained, "Father, Mother, don't overthink it. Ye Feng and I are completely innocent. Besides, my junior brother already has a family; he has two wives."
"Really?" Qiu Yuanming looked at Qiu Miaozhen with surprise.
