Chapter 31 The Flower Master is Your Father (1)
Jiang Hanfeng didn't want to talk about the past and was determined to find "Ling Yun". Shen Yingxue smiled and said, "Is Ling Yun so important to you?"
"Ling Yun is my lover, naturally no one can compare to him." Jiang Hanfeng could say this without changing his expression. "He was taken away from Yuding Villa by Han Jing and others. He appeared in Huaicheng not long ago and disappeared inexplicably. You have great magical powers, and what happened in Huaicheng should not be hidden from you."
"You think too highly of me." Shen Yingxue still has basic emotional intelligence, and will not be carried away by Jiang Hanfeng's praise. His character setting is based on reality. "I said before, I can only do my best. As for the result, it depends on God's will."
Jiang Hanfeng saw that his attitude was upright and he did not evade the question, so he developed a favorable impression of him.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Shen Yingxue said: "You might as well stay for a few days and wait for the results."
"Can."
Jiang Hanfeng had previously thought that after asking the Flower Lord for help, he would continue to look for Ling Yun outside. However, when he realized that there were no clues at all, he realized that even if he went out to look for her, it would probably be in vain.
Moreover, there seemed to be another meaning behind Hua Zhu's words. Jiang Hanfeng also wanted to know what would happen if he stayed.
Hua Zhu is a mature and steady person, a deep-minded and extremely rational person. His emotions have always been very stable, even when he mentioned Lin Ziwen, there were only slight fluctuations.
This is a reasonable person. He will not do anything outside of the plan.
Jiang Hanfeng's martial arts skills are very good, but no matter how good his martial arts skills are, he can't stay in someone else's territory. If the person in front of him was not the flower master, Jiang Hanfeng would never agree to stay so easily.
The flower owner said, "I will ask the cat to arrange a place for you to live. What do you think about living near my place?"
"Are you planning to monitor me?" Jiang Hanfeng asked.
Shen Yingxue shook her head slowly, "Of course not."
He just wanted to send "Ling Yun" to Jiang Hanfeng.
But Jiang Hanfeng couldn't see through Shen Yingxue's meaning, and he didn't even think of the two of them together.
Shen Yingxue didn't know what the disguise on his face looked like, and the fighting hat also covered his face, but he knew that his body shape had not changed at all.
It's written in novels that martial artists have sharp senses and can distinguish people's breathing, footsteps, etc. Even if he had been sitting there and hadn't moved, it was strange that Jiang Hanfeng didn't recognize him.
"If you want to live somewhere else, that's fine, but it's not that convenient after all." Shen Yingxue said, "Do you think Ling Yun and I are similar?"
Jiang Hanfeng was still thinking about the meaning of his first sentence.
What Huazhu means is that even if he doesn't live here, someone will be sent to monitor him, but it's not convenient to monitor him in person?
Before he could confirm, he heard the second sentence. Jiang Hanfeng was stunned and looked at the Flower Master. He couldn't see anything through the black veil. He couldn't understand the Flower Master's expression and eyes. He could only judge by the tone of her voice.
This tone... seems to be curiosity?
"Do you know Ling Yun?" Jiang Hanfeng asked.
"I don't know him." Shen Yingxue said, "I've heard of him."
Jiang Hanfeng was silent.
He had not thought about it that way before, but now he began to look at Hua Zhu's figure and recalled Ling Yun's physique, which was indeed very similar.
However, Ling Yun always wore his white clothes in Yuding Villa, floating in the dust. Even if he was unconscious, crazy or stupid, he looked like a banished immortal.
Hua Zhu was dressed in black, and he seemed to have the smell of makeup and blood from outside. Even though his face could not be seen and he had never seen other women here, when people heard Hua Zhu's voice, they would subconsciously think that he was a playboy who wandered among women.
Besides, Ling Yun is crazy, and Hua Zhu is too calm and very rational. They can't possibly be the same person.
In that case, what did he mean by that?
Jiang Hanfeng said: "Then do you know Ling Yun's true identity?"
Shen Yingxue said: "Of course I know."
Jiang Hanfeng's pupils shrank and he looked at him nervously: "Who is he?"
Shen Yingxue said quietly, "This is not something you can know. I have already agreed to your request. If there is nothing else, go down."
Jiang Hanfeng really wanted to dig more things out of him, but he was more powerful than the person, and now was not the time to fall out with Hua Zhu. Even though he knew that Hua Zhu had a disability in both legs, it was not the time to kidnap him.
Jiang Hanfeng couldn't do such a thing.
He nodded and turned away.
Xun Yan came in from outside and passed by Jiang Hanfeng. Jiang Hanfeng looked at him twice and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Xun Yan came in without knocking, "Sir."
Shen Yingxue saw Xun Yan's blurry face through the mosaic, "Why do I remember that you two have met? Why doesn't he recognize you?"
"I changed my appearance." Xun Yan said.
So that's how it is.
The mosaic on Xun Yan's face was the kind commonly used by criminal suspects, and it was very thick. When Shen Yingxue saw his face, she felt like she was 2,000 degrees nearsighted.
"There are a lot of people outside, and I can't handle it. I can only ask you to come out and suppress the situation in person." Xun Yan said.
Shen Yingxue had never seen a gang fight in his life. Perhaps it was the original owner's subconscious that was at work. He didn't feel scared, and even felt a little curious and excited: "Will there be a fight?"
Xun Yan said: "No."
Shen Yingxue was a little disappointed, "Oh...then go ahead."
Fortunately, he hadn't taken off his gear yet, so he didn't have to put on new clothes. He stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Xun Yan.
"Sir, you forgot that the flower owner cannot walk."
"What should I do?"
…
A large group of people gathered outside Zanhua Lane. The originally deserted street was now completely deserted.
The Sun family members stood in the front, with Wan Baogui's son leading the way.
Wancun and Wanbaogui look very similar, both are chubby and wealthy. Their skin is not white, they have beards around their lips, and their eyes are very sharp.
He was wearing a linen mourning suit with a hemp rope tied around his thick waist. He looked at the small alley of Zanhua Lane with an unfriendly look, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be about to spit fire.
People from the Jueyue Tower were also there. Fu Sheng didn't come this time. The one who came was their deputy building owner Huo Yan.
Huo Yan looked at the crowds of people in the alley, smiled and said to Wan Cun: "What a big show."
These people originally just stayed in Jiangnan, secretly investigating the Zanhua Lane, and had no intention of showing up in public.
Unexpectedly, they were tricked by Wancun. He actually let the assassins of the Sun family secretly spread the news that Huazhu was dead and deceived them all here. After coming here, they found out that Huazhu was still fine. They all became helpers of Wancun and the Sun family.
You wouldn't expect Wancun to be a filial son who would do anything to avenge his father. It's a pity that he was blinded by anger and forgot that these people in the underworld are not easy to bully.
Wan Cun was not angry when he heard what Huo Yan said. He suppressed his emotions and smiled at Huo Yan, "I really had no choice but to resort to this measure. Lord Huo is very generous. Don't take it to heart. It is more important to eliminate demons and defend the way."
Huo Yan snorted coldly: "If you dare to do it again next time, I don't care whether you have the support of the royal family or the underworld, I will never give you face."
"Master Huo is too angry. In my opinion, the people in Zanhua Lane are just a bunch of rioters. With the strength of the Yueyue Tower, it is easy to take them down. If we can kill Master Hua today, it will be a great achievement. Why is Master Huo so angry?"
Huo Yan cursed: "You know nothing!"
After saying that, he took a few steps back, changed his position, and went to someone else's side.
Wan Cun felt a little uneasy when he saw Huo Yan's attitude. After all, the Jueyue Tower started out as an intelligence agency, and they were more informed than others. Huo Yan's reaction was enough to show that Hua Zhu's identity was not ordinary.
There were many people gathered in Zanhua Lane. They were originally a group of scattered people, but when faced with strangers with unknown intentions, they unexpectedly did not panic. Instead, they acted in an orderly and well-organized manner.
Previously, when so many people gathered in Zanhua Lane, it was quiet inside, and it seemed that no one even whispered to each other. But just now, the lane suddenly became noisy.
Wan Cun heard someone shouting, "The master is here! The master has come in person!"
The owner of Zanhua Lane.
Everyone in the righteous path felt nervous when they heard this name.
They had never heard of this man's name before, nor had they ever taken him seriously.
But not long ago, Wan Baogui died, Songshan Pavilion Master also died, and there was also Lin Ziwen from Qingyu Palace. Their bodies were already cold when they were discovered by their disciples.
The deaths of Wan Baogui and Songshan Ge Lao both left behind poems about Zanhua Lane. There is also a pearl hairpin with tassels on Songshan Ge Lao's side, which is obviously their work.
Although there was no clue about Lin Ziwen, the Taoist boy from Qingyu Palace said that he saw with his own eyes a man with a sword break into the palace mistress's bedroom and pierce her heart with a sword. Even a powerful man like Lin Ziwen died without even being able to resist.
He also left behind a piece of clothing, which also had the mark of Zanhua Lane on it.
Wan Baogui's martial arts skills are very poor, but Songshan Gelao and Lin Ziwen are very powerful.
Not only are they powerful, they can even be said to have few rivals.
The owner of the Hairpin Flower Lane killed them easily, and no one dared to underestimate him. So when they knew that the Flower Lord had come out, the righteous people instantly calmed down and entered a state of alert.
The first person to come out of the alley was a man in black.
The man's movements were very stable, and it was obvious that he had practiced external martial arts, and he was very good at it. Then another man showed up, and they each carried a thick piece of wood painted red on their shoulders.
When they came out, Wan Cun saw that the two men were carrying a baton. A man in black with a straw hat was sitting on a chair. His expression was not clear, but he looked very relaxed. He did not look like someone who was out to fight, but rather like a rich young man taking a leisurely ride on a horse.
The baton was carried by four men. The two men at the back came out a little later. They were also two men who were very good at external martial arts.
If such people were here, Wan Cun would definitely treat them with courtesy instead of letting them take the lead.
It seems that there are more powerful people in Zanhua Lane than they imagined.
Wan Cun winked at his confidant next to him, and that person stepped forward and said, "Are you the owner of Zanhua Lane?"
Shen Yingxue lowered her voice, looked down at them, and said calmly: "Yes, it's me."
The man asked again: "Did you kill my boss?"
Shen Yingxue asked: "Who is your boss?"
Shen Yingxue really didn't know what he was saying. Her tone was extremely innocent and sincere, but it sounded very harsh to others.
There is solid evidence that Wan Baogui was murdered in Zanhua Lane, yet Huazhu has such a nonchalant attitude towards it, it's simply like he doesn't take the person seriously!
Wan Cun was furious. He stepped forward and said to Shen Yingxue with red eyes: "My father was killed by your people for no reason. Now I want an explanation. It is only natural to pay for the life of a person. I wonder how you plan to repay me?"
Shen Yingxue probably knew why they came.
Judging from the situation, it doesn't seem like they can't fight. Why did Xun Yan give a negative answer so confidently?
He glanced at Xun Yan who was standing next to him.
When Shen Yingxue came out just now, Xun Yan was walking beside her and followed her out. He didn't say a word the whole time, as silent and low-key as before, but he was very reassuring at the critical moment.
Xun Yan said coldly: "I was the one who killed him. If you want revenge, just come at me."
After saying this, he flew out with extremely fast martial arts skills, and returned to the original place in a moment. His figure was so fast that it left only a shadow.
Before the people from the Sun family could react, Wan Cun's eyes were blank. After a moment of silence, he suddenly covered his neck, wailing in pain, and blood gushed out.
Xun Yan shouted, "Master, don't look over there, look at me."
Shen Yingxue turned away subconsciously and avoided such a scene.
This was not the first time Xun Yan killed someone, nor was it the first time he killed someone in front of Shen Yingxue.
But in the past, Shen Yingxue was the one who saw him kill people when she was sober. Now, Shen Yingxue has gone crazy and cannot stand the slightest stimulation. Fortunately, Shen Yingxue listens to him very much. He should know that he is not normal, so he puts aside some of his own ideas and relies on another person wholeheartedly.
Shen Yingxue asked: "Will he die?"
Xun Yan said: "If he had been treated properly, he would not have died."
I’m afraid that some people in Sun’s family wish Wancun was dead as well.
Wan Baogui has only one son, and the other two are daughters. If Wancun also dies, Wan Baogui's money will fall into the hands of the Sun family and the Yan family.
He probably won't survive.
Shen Yingxue heard the wailing, the panicked footsteps, and the hypocritical sobbing, and sighed, "It's so fake."
Those who were so arrogant just now now dared not say a word. No one dared to contradict Shen Yingxue. Even after Shen Yingxue spoke, they stopped crying.
Shen Yingxue watched Wan Cun being carried away, and scanned the crowd with her eyes. She felt that the scene was somewhat familiar.
This is what happened when the Demon Cult was besieged. It also seemed to be the same when Yuding Villa was besieged later. Now it is the turn of Zanhua Lane.
Shen Yingxue felt that she was a disaster star, and misfortune happened wherever she went.
As he thought about this, he couldn't help laughing. This laughter didn't have any special meaning, but to the ears of the person on the other side, it was full of ridicule.
Shen Yingxue said: "Do you have anything else to do?"
This was originally the home turf of Wancun and the owner of Zanhua Lane, but I didn't expect Wancun to be dealt with so quickly. The man in black beside the owner of Zanhua Lane had unfathomable martial arts skills, and no one in the martial arts world could beat him with more than one hand.
No one from the Sun family dared to answer, so Huo Yan, who had the highest status, stepped forward and smiled at Shen Yingxue, saying, "I am Huo Yan, nice to meet you, Senior."
Shen Yingxue saw that he was not much older than her, but he actually called him "senior". She found it a bit strange. Could it be that the system blurred the image again?
No, there doesn’t seem to be any mosaic.
The system said: [Yes, I just did some calculations and I am not sure whether it is related to the main quest at the moment. I have temporarily cancelled the mosaic. I am sorry for not notifying you.]
[Ah, it doesn't matter, it doesn't make much difference. Just don't fall behind at the critical moment.]
Seeing that Shen Yingxue didn't say anything, Huo Yan continued, "I am a nobody, and I'm afraid I won't be in your eyes. But I always like to join in the fun, and I admire powerful people like you. I wonder if you can condescend to be friends with me?"
Xun Yan approached Shen Yingxue and whispered, "He is the deputy owner of Jueyue Tower and a close confidant of Fu Sheng."
The name Fu Sheng is still in Shen Yingxue's grudge book. Huo Yan is Fu Sheng's dog, and Shen Yingxue looks down on him even more.
"I never make friends with the dead." Shen Yingxue said coldly, and suddenly laughed: "But if Fu Sheng comes here in person, I can consider it."
Huo Yan's face turned ugly.
Everyone else thought that he had such an ugly expression because he was humiliated by the flower owner. Only Huo Yan himself knew how shocked he was at the moment.
How much does Huazhu know?
Huo Yan had a serious illness two years ago. After recovering from the illness, he often felt unwell and occasionally vomited blood. The doctor said that there was something wrong with his spleen and stomach, and even if he rested well, he would not live long.
Huo Yan has lost a lot of weight in the past few years. He can't eat a lot of things and can't drink alcohol. He has been taking medicine to cure his illness, but no matter how much medicine he takes, it will only delay the time.
Apart from him and the doctor he killed, no one knew about his condition. Hua Zhu's tone was so firm, he clearly knew the truth!
Huo Yan forced a smile and said, "Maybe Master Hua is an old acquaintance of our host?"
"We are old acquaintances indeed." Shen Yingxue said, "Guess how I met Fu Sheng?"
Huo Yan said, "I don't know."
Shen Yingxue smiled and said, "You can go back and ask him if he still remembers it. I think he probably can't remember it. Fu Sheng did so many evil things, and it's been so long, how can he remember it? But I remember it very clearly."
They did know each other, but there was no friendship between them; there was hatred between them!
Shen Yingxue knocked on the armrest of the chair and said uninterestedly: "Go back."
Bu Fan turned around and slowly entered Zanhua Lane.
Xun Yan did not leave with them. He stood at the entrance of the alley holding a sword, looking at everyone coldly and saying to the people in the alley, "Kill."
Shen Yingxue had seen the Zanhua Lane without mosaics, but seeing such a clear environment again gave her a different feeling.
It was a place he had chosen, with the gentleness of the Jiangnan water town and a very special simplicity. Coupled with the faint fragrance of cosmetics, it was hard not to associate it with the gentle and wealthy town by the Qinhuai River.
Shen Yingxue came to his yard and Lan Jin was waiting for him at the door.
"Master." Lan Jin's face was at least three times thinner than Mao Maotou's, and very handsome. He raised his head and looked up at Shen Yingxue who was sitting high up. "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, Xun Yan has solved it."
Shen Yingxue didn’t understand why Xun Yan said he couldn’t fight before, but now he knows.
Kill the troublemaker directly, and the people below will be shocked. Who would dare to continue to provoke?
Shen Yingxue thought about the speed at which Xun Yan attacked just now. It was extremely fast, the fastest he had ever seen. In his previous life, he would never have thought that this was the speed a human being could have.
But when he saw it with his own eyes, his reaction was not as shocked as others.
Because Shen Yingxue's attention can keep up with Xun Yan's movements, she even thinks that if she were to do it herself, it would be faster. When Xun Yan attacked, the angle was not right. If he adjusted it slightly, tilted it downward a little, and pointed the sword upward to cut the man's throat, it would be easier.
Unfortunately, Shen Yingxue sometimes felt severe pain in her body even when she just lay still, let alone running.
Seeing that Shen Yingxue was silent, Lan Jin winked at those who were hesitating to continue walking forward. Unexpectedly, he ran into Zhu Chengyu who came to visit.
Zhu Chengyu heard the steady footsteps, stopped, tilted his ear to listen for a while, and asked Ah Wu in a low voice: "Who is it?"
Ah Wu said, "It's the flower owner."
Zhu Chengyu smiled sweetly: "Master?"
When Shen Yingxue saw his smile, she instantly felt the beauty strike!
He heard Xun Yan say that Zhu Chengyu was a "white spot" and a "sheep's eye", and thought he was blinded by the mosaic again. He didn't expect that after removing the mosaic, Zhu Chengyu was still so beautiful.
If the Zhu Chengyu with mosaics was a beautiful boy in the comics, the current Zhu Chengyu has changed from the two-dimensional to the three-dimensional, from a paper man to a living person.
He still looked fragile, wearing light green clothes and a jade hairpin on his head. His hair was very long and neatly combed, with a strand falling in front of his chest, shining a dazzling silver color in the sunlight, without a trace of impurities.
His eyelashes were white, his eyebrows were white, and his skin was like a piece of fine mutton-fat jade, without a single flaw.
It's just a little too white.
When Shen Yingxue saw him without the mosaic, she immediately understood why Zhu Chengyu had such hair and eye color, and she also understood why his blind eyes were like that.
He has albinism.
He really looks like a little angel, especially when he smiles, he looks sweet and harmless, and even his eyes are full of joy.
"Why are you here again?" Shen Yingxue asked Lan Jin in a gentle voice, "Didn't you let him know where there is a good clinic?"
Lan Jin said, "How dare I not take the master's instructions to heart? I have already found it."
Shen Yingxue asked Zhu Chengyu: "Why don't you go?"
Zhu Chengyu bit her lower lip, lowered her eyes in grievance, and whispered, "I'm scared."
Shen Yingxue said: "Awu will be with you."
Zhu Chengyu hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage to say, "I don't want to go. I just want to stay with my master."
Shen Yingxue was determined: "You don't know how to do anything, what's the point of you staying here with me?"
"Okay... then can the master come with me?"
"cannot."
When Lan Jin heard Zhu Chengyu's words, her heart itched and she wished she could take out the bone-dissolving powder immediately and dissolve his entire body from head to toe.
Fortunately, Shen Yingxue did not let him down and remained indifferent to Zhu Chengyu. He did not speak to Zhu Chengyu again, but let the people carrying the sedan chair continue walking until they reached the courtyard where he lived.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Chengyu also came over, and Jiang Hanfeng also came out from the side room.
Lan Jin stepped forward and picked up Shen Yingxue without changing his expression. The subordinate opened the door and Lan Jin carried him into the house.
The gauze curtain on the hat had some friction while she was moving. A gust of wind blew past, causing the black gauze to float slightly. For a moment, Shen Yingxue's face was exposed, but the blinding black gauze fell down immediately.
So brief, so stunning.
Jiang Hanfeng stood there in a daze, with only patches of red in his mind.
Those red marks are no different from ordinary birthmarks, and the position and size are very random, but on Huazhu's face, they are particularly stunning and have a very natural and harmonious feeling.
If it weren't for the birthmark, perhaps Hua Zhu's appearance could only be considered ordinary handsome, not top-notch, and far inferior to Ling Yun's face.
But it is that red color that really makes people think about it.
Jiang Hanfeng felt that the face looked very familiar, and after thinking carefully, he realized that the face did have some similarities with Ling Yun.
It’s just that Hua Zhu’s frame seems to be a little bigger, his chin is a little sharper, his lips are very pale, and even thinner than Ling Yun’s.
Jiang Hanfeng couldn't see his eyes and couldn't help feeling sorry.
If we could see the full appearance of Hua Zhu, we could probably determine whether he had any relationship with Zhu Chengyu and Ling Yun.
Judging from their skin color, Hua Zhu and Zhu Chengyu are very similar.
But he and Ling Yun have an indescribable similarity.
"Is there anyone here?" Zhu Chengyu tilted his head and looked towards Jiang Hanfeng and asked softly.
"It's me."
Zhu Chengyu recognized his voice, "Is that Jiang Daxia? You are here too."
"Yes." Jiang Hanfeng said, "I live here."
Zhu Chengyu was certain that Jiang Hanfeng had followed the Flower Master for many years and was definitely the Flower Master's confidant. He pouted unhappily, "I also want to live with the Master, but the Master doesn't agree."
Jiang Hanfeng was also certain that the Flower Lord had asked him to live here in order to monitor him. The Flower Lord was not wary of this young man at all, even though he came from Qingyu Palace.
It seems that they have a really good relationship.
Jiang Hanfeng saw that everyone around had left, and that this young man was not scheming and was a good talker. So he didn't pretend to be mysterious and said directly: "I just saw the face of the flower master."
"Huh?" Zhu Chengyu wondered why Jiang Hanfeng would say this to her.
Jiang Hanfeng asked: "Is he your relative?"
Zhu Chengyu was very shocked, and then couldn't help wondering what Jiang Hanfeng meant by this. He pretended to be innocent and tilted his head in confusion: "Why do you ask that? How dare I marry the master of flowers?"
Jiang Hanfeng noticed his unnaturalness at that moment.
Zhu Chengyu must know something, but he pretended not to know. Could it be that Huazhu didn't want to expose their relationship and didn't allow him to make it public?
The identity of the flower owner is very mysterious. In addition to himself, there are many people who want to know his background. Zhu Chengyu is such a weak boy, with a simple mind and blind eyes, so he is easily exploited.
Perhaps this decision was made for protection.
As for the relationship between Hua Zhu and Zhu Chengyu, Jiang Hanfeng initially thought of them as brothers...but Hua Zhu was definitely not as young as he looked.
They were more like father and son than brothers.
Jiang Hanfeng asked: "How did your father treat you when you were in Qingyu Palace?"
Zhu Chengyu shook his head in bewilderment and said bitterly, "Not at all."
Jiang Hanfeng nodded without asking any more questions. He said goodbye to Zhu Chengyu and returned to his residence.
Zhu Chengyu stood there, holding Ah Wu's hand, "What do you think he meant by this?"
Wu said honestly: "I don't know."
"Awu, I can hardly remember what my father looked like. Do you still remember him?" Hatred had long distorted Zhu Chengyu's memory. The only impression he had of those people in Qingyu Palace was that of viciousness.
Ah Wu said, “Remember.”
"Do I look like daddy?" Zhu Chengyu asked softly.
“No.”
"Could it be that what Jiang Hanfeng said is true? Why did he tell me? Could this be the master's intention?" Zhu Chengyu turned around and patted Awu's arm, "Let's go see the master."
Wu said, "The door is closed."
"That's great. Knock on the door."
Hua Zhu just came back from outside, so he should have washed and changed his clothes. Although he couldn't see, he might find something different from the past.
Shen Yingxue sat in front of the dressing table, took off her martial arts hat, and was shocked at first sight when she saw the disguise given by Xun Yan.
The birthmark on her face was as red as blood, so red that it was shocking, but it blended perfectly with her face, as if it had grown there. The face below the birthmark was very similar to Shen Yingxue's previous appearance, but it seemed different in every way.
This face is undoubtedly beautiful, and it has two completely different styles from Shen Yingxue's original appearance.
Shen Yingxue raised her hand and touched it. The texture was similar to skin, except that the temperature seemed a little lower and a little harder.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Lan Jin glanced at Shen Yingxue, saw him nod, and went over to open the door.
Ah Wu supported Zhu Chengyu and stood at the door.
Zhu Chengyu said timidly, "Sir, I've thought about it again, and it's better to talk to the master. I want to see the master again."
Shen Yingxue knew that Zhu Chengyu was blind, so she didn't put on her hat and said to Lan Jin, "Let him in."
Ah Wu took a look inside and saw only a screen. Hua Zhu was very afraid of heat, so he always kept an ice basin in his room. In summer, the screen in his room was also very thin. He could vaguely see the person behind it, who should be Hua Zhu.
He was sitting on a stool with his long black hair hanging down. Awu couldn't see his face, but only felt that his back looked particularly thin.
Lan Jin brought Zhu Chengyu into the house, closed the door, and blocked Ah Wu's line of sight.
"Master..." Zhu Chengyu whispered, "I have something I want to talk to you alone. Can you please let me step aside for now?"
What kind of strange name is Mr. Cat?
Shen Yingxue glanced at Lan Jin and said, "Go out and check on Xun Yan. It's been so long, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Yes, Master."
Zhu Chengyu once again felt Hua Zhu's tolerance towards her.
He was in mixed feelings.
Zhu Chengyu had heard about Jiang Hanfeng's character. Since Jiang Hanfeng said so, there was a 50% chance that it was true.
Moreover, for a long time, Zhu Chengyu has been seducing Hua Zhu, and Hua Zhu obviously likes him very much, but she has been rejecting him.
Thinking of her ruthless father and adoptive mother who pushed her into this hell, Zhu Chengyu felt even more that she might not be their biological child.
Could it be that Hua Zhu is his real relative?
But when he first came to Zanhua Lane, the owner of the flower garden clearly didn't recognize him. When did the owner of the flower garden soften her attitude?
Zhu Chengyu thought of the wooden sign whose use was unknown.
"Master, what exactly is that token?"
Shen Yingxue was still sitting in front of the dressing table. Seeing Zhu Chengyu talking to the empty couch, she felt a little sad. "It's a keepsake. It's useless to others. Only with me can it play the greatest role. Why are you asking this?"
Zhu Chengyu then realized that Shen Yingxue was not in the same place as before. He turned around quickly, his pale face slightly flushed, and said shyly: "I'm just a little curious."
"Don't you want to learn something?" Shen Yingxue finally realized that the little angel looked well-behaved, but just didn't want to learn.
He is like a kid who doesn't want to go to kindergarten. He does this and that, procrastinating and just doesn't want to go to school.
Zhu Chengyu didn't understand before why Hua Zhu always wanted him to study medicine, but now he seems to understand something.
If Huazhu was really his brother or father, seeing that the child knew nothing and had no ability to protect himself, he would probably feel worried and urge him to make progress.
But he couldn't see, so there were only so many things he could do. The Flower Master didn't know that he knew martial arts, so she could only help him find a way out. Learning medicine was a good way to protect himself.
When he was in Qingyu Palace, Zhu Chengyu was very jealous when he saw his senior brothers and their families getting along. His father did not favor him, nor did he have any expectations. Zhu Chengyu was beaten and bullied during the day, and practiced martial arts secretly at night by following the basic secret manuals.
His martial arts skills were actually very poor before, but after being taken away by the Palace Master, his skills suddenly improved rapidly, which even the Palace Master did not expect. That's why he was able to turn that old thing into that state so easily.
After taking revenge, Zhu Chengyu was only obsessed with Qingyu Palace. If there was no Qingyu Palace, he really didn't know what he should do.
But now, he may have an elder. Although this elder is not close to him, he is very upright and does not have those beastly ideas. He will also arrange his studies, find a way out for him, and consider him in every way.
Zhu Chengyu thought of the previous temptation and suddenly felt ashamed.
He hadn't felt shy for many years, even when he was serving others with his beauty. He hadn't felt guilty for a long time, even after killing the palace mistress, his parents, and the brothers who bullied him.
But when facing the flower owner, the lost emotions seemed to come back.
"You don't want to study medicine, what do you want to study?" Shen Yingxue asked him gently, "You can't always rely on others to survive, you have to learn to survive on your own."
A corner of Zhu Chengyu's heavy defense suddenly collapsed, and a warmth slipped in from that corner, warming his numb heart and cleansing his dirty soul.
He seemed to have a home again.
This person can accept his unusual appearance and tolerate his weakness, and he will accompany him to become stronger.
This was exactly what Zhu Chengyu wanted when he decided to seduce the Flower Master. Although the seduction failed, he still got it.
Is this a relative?
"I listen to you. I will do whatever you tell me to do." Zhu Chengyu sniffed, "But I can't see. My hair and beard are still white. They all say I'm a monster. They pull my hair and beat me in a corner. Master... I'm scared."
There is such a thing! Shen Yingxue looked at the little angel pitifully telling her story, tears welling up in his grey-blue eyes. His sense of justice was aroused, but unfortunately there was no perpetrator here, so he could not seek justice for Zhu Chengyu immediately.
Nowadays, people are very tolerant of gray hair, but this is ancient times. The word "异" was not a good word in ancient times. It represented heresy, disaster, and a bad sign.
Shen Yingxue sighed, "Don't worry, I'm here, no one dares to bully you."
"Why are you so nice to me?" Zhu Chengyu wiped her tears and cried slightly.
Shen Yingxue said: "Because I am a good person."
Zhu Chengyu didn't believe it. How could the flower owner be a good person? Jiang Hanfeng's statement was more reliable.
Hua Zhu must also know that he is now under great scrutiny, with countless forces trying to find out his background, and he might be in danger at any time.
It must be that Hua Zhu cared about him too much and was unwilling to reveal their true identities, but he was reluctant to be alone, so he asked Jiang Hanfeng to inform him in this way.
They both knew it, but neither of them wanted to say it out loud, because once outsiders knew, Zhu Chengyu would be dragged into this deep vortex.
Zhu Chengyu asked: "May I ask your age?"
Shen Yingxue looked at herself in the mirror. It was a face that looked very young. Except for some fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, there was almost no trace of aging.
The wealth of Zanhua Lane was abundant, so it was easy to support a person with money. A person like Huazhu must have lived a life of luxury, without being exposed to the sun and wind, and his diet and daily life were better than others, so he took good care of himself, and even though he was old, his face was still beautiful.
Shen Yingxue thought about the original owner's real age, which was 26. He referred to his own voice after suppressing it, and decided to make the flower owner's age a little older, so that it would be more different from the original identity.
Shen Yingxue sighed ruthlessly at the passing of time.
