At the same time, Xiang Zhu also found some clues outside Cuiyun Tower.

There is an antique shop near Cuiyun Tower, which is filled with precious antiques. The owner is a mysterious old man who seems to have a close connection with Cuiyun Tower.

That night, the lights in Cuiyun Tower were bright, and the grand party was held as scheduled. Sheng Hongye, Qin Wenyuan and Luxiu mixed in the crowd, waiting for their chance.

At the climax of the party, Shi appeared. He was wearing a black robe and had a gloomy face, which gave people a chilling feeling.

Sheng Hongye and Qin Wenyuan stared at Shi, feeling very nervous. At this moment, Xiang Zhu also brought news that she found clues about Shi in the antique shop.

It turns out that Shi was a tomb robber who stole the treasures from the ancient tomb and hid them in Cuiyun Tower. The secret behind Cuiyun Tower is these treasures.

…

In the private room of Cuiyun Tower, the warm yellow candlelight flickered and reflected on the faces of Sheng Hongye and Qin Wenyuan, making their expressions more vivid. Sheng Hongye sat in the main seat, looking calm, while Qin Wenyuan stared at him with jealous eyes.

Sheng Hongye glanced at Qin Wenyuan, smiled lightly, and broke the silence: “Wenyuan, you seem to have some misunderstandings about me.”

Qin Wenyuan snorted coldly, still not relaxing his gaze: "Misunderstanding? Brother Sheng, you know in your heart why I misunderstood."

Sheng Hongye sighed and said earnestly: "I know you are jealous of me because of Cui'er. But you should understand that my feelings for Cui'er are sincere and I have never been false."

Qin Wenyuan clenched his fists, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes: "Brother Sheng, why do you have to show off like this? I know that your identity, status, and talent are all beyond my reach. But please respect me and don't mention Cui'er in front of me."

Sheng Hongye frowned and said in a serious tone: "Wenyuan, you misunderstood me. My feelings for Cui'er are pure, and I never thought of showing off. I am just stating a fact."

Qin Wenyuan was silent for a while, and finally loosened his clenched fists and whispered: "Brother Sheng, I know I can't compare with you, but please give me a chance to prove that I can also take good care of Cui'er."

Sheng Hongye looked at Qin Wenyuan and was moved. Qin Wenyuan was a responsible man, but he just couldn't accept the gap between himself and Cui'er. So he slowly said, "Wenyuan, you are a good man, I believe you can take good care of Cui'er. But please understand that feelings can't be forced. Cui'er's heart is with me, and this is an unchangeable fact."

Qin Wenyuan closed his eyes painfully. He knew that Sheng Hongye was telling the truth, but he still couldn't accept this fact. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, then opened his eyes and looked at Sheng Hongye: "Brother Sheng, I know I can't change Cui'er's heart, but I hope you can promise me one thing."

Sheng Hongye smiled slightly: "Wenyuan, you go ahead."

Qin Wenyuan gritted his teeth and finally spoke out his request: "Please promise me not to mention me in front of Cui'er and let her live the life I want."

Sheng Hongye's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect Qin Wenyuan to make such a request.

Qin Wenyuan reacted and widened his eyes: "You! It's you!"

Qin Wenyuan's reaction echoed in the spacious living room of Sheng Mansion. Sheng Hongye smiled slightly, with a hint of subtle teasing in his eyes. He brushed his robe lightly, sat leisurely on the mahogany armchair, and waited for his brother-in-law to calm down.

"Qin Wenyuan, what's wrong with you?" Sheng Hongye's voice was calm and deep, as if it could calm people's hearts.

Qin Wenyuan's eyes widened, still looking at Sheng Hongye in disbelief. He clenched his fists and tried his best to calm himself down, but the turmoil in his heart was difficult to calm down. He took a deep breath and tried to sort out his thoughts.

"Sheng Hongye, are you...are you really that person?" Qin Wenyuan's voice trembled a little, and the doubts in his heart spread like a thick fog.

Sheng Hongye smiled slightly, with a deep light flashing in his eyes: "That person? Are you talking about my past?"

Qin Wenyuan nodded, his eyes full of inquiry: "Yes, that person... that person was once a legendary mysterious master in the martial arts world. No one knew his true identity, but he made countless people tremble in fear."

Sheng Hongye smiled lightly and waved his hand: "Those are all things of the past. Now I am just an ordinary young master of the Sheng family."

Qin Wenyuan frowned, still unable to accept this fact. He pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Sheng Hongye, I want to know, why do you hide your identity?"

Sheng Hongye's eyes narrowed, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a trace of seriousness: "Qin Wenyuan, you should ask my father about this question."

Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed with confusion, and he looked at Sheng Hongye, as if looking for an answer. Sheng Hongye had a pensive expression, as if he was recalling something.

"Mr. Sheng..." Qin Wenyuan murmured to himself, with a complex emotion surging in his heart.

Sheng Hongye raised his head and looked at Qin Wenyuan with a firm gaze: "Qin Wenyuan, let me tell you, my father was once a great master in the martial arts world. For the honor of his family, he sacrificed his status in the martial arts world and chose to retire. And because of this, I was forbidden to set foot in the martial arts world again."

Qin Wenyuan looked at Sheng Hongye in shock. He finally understood why Sheng Hongye had to hide his identity. He felt a sense of respect in his heart, and his respect for the Sheng family deepened.

"Sheng Hongye, I understand." Qin Wenyuan's voice was low and firm, and a new light flashed in his eyes.

Sheng Hongye nodded slightly, with a hint of relief in his eyes: "Qin Wenyuan, I'm glad you understand. My father also hopes that you can become the son-in-law of our Sheng family and jointly protect the glory of the Sheng family."

Qin Wenyuan's heart moved. He looked at Sheng Hongye with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Sheng Hongye, I will do my best to live up to the expectations of the Sheng family."

Sheng Hongye smiled and patted Qin Wenyuan's shoulder. Their eyes met at this moment, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

…

Sheng Hongye dodged it easily, and in the process hit Madam Qin, causing her to fall to the ground without being able to stand steadily. Madam Qin widened her eyes, looking shocked. She had never thought that she would fall into the hands of the eldest son of the Sheng family.

Sheng Hongye stood aside, looking at her calmly, and said in a calm tone: "Madam Qin, you are old, so you'd better be careful."

Madam Qin struggled to stand up, dusted herself off, glared at Sheng Hongye, and sneered, "Sheng Hongye, you are so brave that you dare to attack your elders!"

Sheng Hongye smiled slightly and said, "Madam Qin, you misunderstood. I just want to remind you not to act rashly. After all, this is the Sheng Mansion."
