Chapter 33 Flower Master's Identity and Background (1)

The owner of Zanhua Lane traveled in a grand manner, even more grand than some officials who went to Beijing to report on their work.

As luck would have it, not long after they came out, they ran into people from Prince Anzhong's mansion. It was originally just a chance encounter, Shen Yingxue and the others gave way to the Prince and continued walking forward, but they didn't expect to run into them again at night when they got off the car and went to the inn to rest.

The people from the Prince's Mansion booked the inn and actually reserved a seat for them. When Shen Yingxue and her group passed the door and were about to go to the other inn, they asked someone to stop them.

"Our prince said that he had always heard of the reputation of Zanhua Lane, but had never met it. Since we have the chance to meet, why don't you sit down and have a chat, and please do me the honor of coming over to have a drink."

This man has a fair face and no beard, and his voice is a little feminine, but not sharp or mean, which makes people like him even more.

Xun Yan was outside taking a walk again and replied, "Please wait a moment. I will tell you, Master."

He entered the carriage, and soon he came out after opening the curtain. He bowed to the man and said, "Please report back. Since the prince thinks highly of me, my young master will not refuse. I will pay you a visit as soon as you have your attire in order. I hope you will forgive me for any impoliteness."

After the messenger left, Xun Yan prepared the medicine, watched Shen Yingxue drink it, and brought him tea to rinse his mouth to wash away the bitter taste in his mouth. He changed his clothes, combed his hair again, and made himself neat and clean. Only after making sure that he would not show any signs of cowardice did he prepare to let Shen Yingxue go.

But he was still a little worried: "Prince Anzhong is Prince Zhongyi's biological brother, and he has many concubines and children in his mansion. This prince is the eldest son of the prince's mansion. I wonder if you still remember your friend named Zhu Ling before you moved to Zanhua Lane?"

Shen Yingxue asked: "Is it Wen Ling?"

"It's him." Xun Yan looked into Shen Yingxue's eyes. "The prince is called Zhu Rang, and he is the cousin of Master Zhu Ling. He has a secret relationship with Fu Sheng, and he is not someone you can easily mess with. You must be careful and never reveal your identity."

"I see."

After going out, Xun Yan disguised Shen Yingxue. With the mosaic, Shen Yingxue would not feel uncomfortable even if she covered her face all day long, and it was no different from before.

This time when I go out, I just need to wear a hat to cover my face.

Lan Jindai arranged accommodation for the other people accompanying them. Xun Yan got out of the car holding Shen Yingxue. Several people followed them and entered the inn together.

There were guards in armor outside the inn. The lobby inside was empty. Only the prince was sitting at a table, and the four followers behind him were all standing.

When the Prince of the County saw someone coming in, he looked over curiously. After seeing Xun Yan holding Shen Yingxue, his expression was surprised.

The black veil covered Shen Yingxue's face. He lowered his voice and said calmly, "I am not feeling well and cannot pay my respects to the prince. Please forgive me."

The prince was dressed like an ordinary rich young man, but he had a scholarly air and was particularly elegant and easy-going. He smiled and said with a good temper: "I am not a pedantic person. I don't want to reveal my identity on this trip. The flower owner doesn't need to be so polite."

Xun Yan placed Shen Yingxue on the bench opposite the prince.

Shen Yingxue looked at the prince and felt that his voice sounded familiar. After thinking carefully, wasn't this Wen Hai?

It turns out that Prince Anzhong's son Zhu Rang is Wen Hai.

Xun Yan just said that Wen Hai and Fu Sheng had a very good relationship. Shen Yingxue had also gone over to eavesdrop before. It seemed that these two people had colluded a long time ago. I don't know if he was responsible for the demise of the Demon Cult.

Shen Yingxue updated the grudge book and changed Wen Hai to Zhu Rang.

Zhu Rang personally picked up the wine pot, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Shen Yingxue: "The food is not ready yet, but the wine here is not bad, you may want to try it."

Shen Yingxue didn't give him any face and refused directly: "I don't drink."

Zanhuaxiang treated Zhu Rang with respect, but that didn't mean Shen Yingxue had to obey him.

As a local overlord, Hua Zhu's temper was a little strange, but it was not a big deal. Even Xun Yan, who had just responded respectfully, did not think there was anything wrong with Shen Yingxue's attitude.

This is the attitude of the underworld towards the powerful and wealthy.

Arrogant, disdainful, and arrogant.

What's more, Shen Yingxue's health is really not good. He has been taking medicine and is indeed not suitable for drinking.

Zhu Rang smiled good-naturedly, "Why not change to tea? But it's not like home outside, I'm afraid there's not such good tea."

Shen Yingxue said, "I don't drink tea either." Zhu Rang's smile turned cold.

The man behind him who looked like a eunuch shouted, "How brave!"

Zhu Rang waved his hand and waved him away. "In that case, let's change it to clean water. Would you mind my doing this?"

Shen Yingxue felt that he wanted to see her face.

He had disguised his face, so he was not afraid of being seen. If it was Jiang Hanfeng or someone else wanted to see, Shen Yingxue would have taken off his hat. But Zhu Rang had written in his grudge book that Shen Yingxue had always been ruthless towards her enemies, not to mention that she had taken on this fake identity just to establish her authority, so she was not afraid of offending anyone.

Shen Yingxue said, "If you have nothing else to do, I won't stay any longer. I am weak and exhausted from the long journey."

Zhu Rang said, "Since the flower master is tired, why don't you rest here? This inn is not the best in town, but it is one of the best. Compared with other hotels, it is clean and comfortable."

Shen Yingxue stared at him for a while and asked, "Your Highness is going to Yuding Villa too?"

"Not bad." Zhu Rang said, "From what Huazhu said, are you also going to Yuding Villa? It's a coincidence. We can go the same way and make friends. Although I am not talented, I can tell which ones are rotten wood and which ones are beams. People like Huazhu are definitely not unknown people. You and I don't have any deep hatred, and the things we want to do don't conflict. Why don't we form an alliance temporarily? What do you think?"

"Children like you are always sweet-mouthed but treacherous. You say one thing but mean another." Shen Yingxue was very skilled in pretending to be mature. "If you want me to trust you, you have to take some action to show me whether you are worthy of me."

Zhu Rang frowned and thought for a moment, then his expression relaxed and he smiled again: "You are right."

Shen Yingxue said to Xun Yan: "Just stay here."

Xun Yan said, "Yes."

The two subordinates behind went to inform Lan Jin, and Xun Yan went to the shopkeeper to ask for a few rooms. He came back, picked up Shen Yingxue, and took him upstairs.

Zhurang sat where he was and drank the wine in his glass.

His fiefdom was in Huaicheng, very close to Zanhua Lane. Zhu Rang had always known about the existence of Zanhua Lane, but he had never taken it seriously. He had never expected that Zanhua Lane suddenly had a leader, and had done several great things that shook the world.

Even Master Songshan died at the hands of Zanhuaxiang.

Not long ago, the Sun family and a group of people who tried to explore the Zanhua Lane suffered a great loss from the Flower Master. The Moon Tower sent him a message saying that they had found out that the Flower Master had a personal grudge against Fu Sheng. The Flower Master also predicted the date of Huo Yan's death.

Zhu Rang had to pay attention to Hua Zhu, this man was definitely a strong opponent.

Even if he did not associate with the powerful in the court, he could change the world for him with his own strength.

Huazhu's actions were very mysterious, always wearing a black veil. No one had ever seen his face, and even this person was rarely seen.

Zhu Rang has many guesses about the flower owner.

He thought that this man could not be too young and must be a powerful and terrifying person. Now that he saw the Flower Master in person, Zhu Rang was greatly shocked.

He had never imagined that Huazhu was so thin and frail. Even his legs seemed to be sick and he couldn't walk. His exposed skin was very pale, the kind of paleness that comes from being weak and not seeing the sun for years.

His voice doesn't sound too old, and is even charming.

Huazhu is a contradictory person. Even though he does look weak, he never makes people feel weak. Instead, he becomes even more terrifying.

A person with defects may have a more distorted personality than a normal person, and when he wants to accomplish something, he will be more focused.

This is a more difficult opponent than Zhu Rang expected.

Shen Yingxue entered the room, jumped down from Xun Yan's arms, and looked outside through the window: "The carriage that the prince rides in is not as big as ours."

"Yes." Xun Yan said, "Sir, do you think this is not good?"

"Never mind. Let's leave it at that."

Shen Yingxue knew that in ancient times, there were classes everywhere, and each class had strict rules. The carriage he was riding in was more than three meters wide and pulled by four horses. It was definitely not something that ordinary people could ride, so he was so high-profile.

If the government wanted to use this to get him, he would have nothing to say. But the knight used martial arts to break the law, Shen Yingxue was already a gangster, and Xun Yan had killed many people, so there was no point in caring about these details.

Xun Yan took off Shen Yingxue's hat, called the waiter over, and asked him to prepare food and hot water for bathing.

Shen Yingxue sat on a chair and played games.

When I was in school, I felt that playing games every day was not enough. Now that I can play games every day, I find it boring.

Shen Yingxue had already played several games, but he couldn't play them online, which made it less fun. He fiddled with the game console for a while, then stuffed it back into his sleeve.

Xun Yan also discovered that Shen Yingxue had been staring at the token less and less frequently recently.

He seemed to be getting more and more sober, not saying crazy things like before. Although he still had moments of daze and slow reaction, it was much better than before.

Shen Yingxue had not shown any improvement in the past three years, but now after getting the token, Shen Yingxue seemed to have found hope.

The Demon Cult, and Hualulu...

Xun Yan thought about his past glory, and then looked at Shen Yingxue now. He was a little worried that after Shen Yingxue fully recovered...what if he remembered that the Demon Cult was no longer there and that Hua Lulu had been dead for many years, what should he do?

After Shen Yingxue moved into the inn, Lan Jin and others also moved in and lived next to him.

Zhu Rang and his followers stayed in the guest room on the third floor. The two groups had nothing to do with each other, but were testing each other from time to time.

Zhu Rang used to believe that Hua Zhu was the only powerful figure in Zanhua Lane, but when he saw the people around Hua Zhu, he became more concerned.

The confidant who served beside the flower master was taciturn and had great martial arts skills. There was also a man with a very feminine temperament, who didn't seem to be very skilled, but gave people an extremely terrifying feeling.

The white-haired boy looks innocent, but sometimes he reveals a vicious look. The servant named Awu beside him is not someone to be trifled with either.

More importantly is Jiang Hanfeng.

Jiang Hanfeng, the second owner of Yuding Villa and a famous swordsman in the martial arts world, is actually Hua Zhu's man!

Zhu Rang was from Huaicheng and thought he knew Zanhua Lane very well, but he had never known the existence of these people.

A few months ago, Fu Sheng was tricked by Han Jing and led his men to besiege Yuding Villa, forcing them to hand over Shen Yingxue. However, he knew that there was only Ling Yun in Yuding Villa and the person they were looking for was not there.

Things went off the rails from there.

Ling Yun was kidnapped by unknown party, Jiang Hanfeng went after him, Han Jing defected, the reputation of the righteous path suffered a severe blow, and everything was out of Zhu Rang's control.

Zhu Rang thought Jiang Hanfeng was really deeply in love with Ling Yun and came out to find his lover, but he didn't expect that he was actually from Zanhua Lane.

I don’t know if Wan Baogui’s death and Mr. Songshan’s death have anything to do with Jiang Hanfeng.

Zhu Rang realized Shen Yingxue's strength and dared not provoke him.

He brought a lot of people with him, but if a real fight came to a head, he would have no chance of winning. Even if they joined together, they might not be able to defeat the feminine man codenamed "Cat".

After spending a night in the inn, the two groups got up early the next morning, had breakfast and continued on their journey.

The flower owner was still carried by the man in black into the expensive carriage.

Zhu Rang was moved and followed him.

"What are you going to do, my Lord?" Lan Jin stopped him in front of the carriage with a smile, "Your carriage is over there, why do you have to crowd in here?"

Zhu Rang said, "My carriage is small and bumpy, how can it compare to Huazhu's? Huazhu and I had a very pleasant conversation yesterday, and we are barely friends. How about giving me a ride?"

Lan Jin said, "I can't make the decision. Please wait for a moment, my lord. I will go and ask the master."

There was a bed in the carriage, and on the other side were a low couch and a table and chairs. The two were separated by a curtain, forming two rooms, which were similar to Shen Yingxue's residence in Zanhua Lane.

Shen Yingxue was sitting on a low couch at this moment, watching Zhu Chengyu learn medical skills.

After Lan Jin came over, Zhu Chengyu put down the herbs in his hand and listened obediently to what the adults were saying.

"Get him out." Shen Yingxue said mercilessly.

Lan Jin didn't know how Zhu Rang had offended Shen Yingxue. As the flower owner's loyal licker, he believed whatever Shen Yingxue said without any doubt. When he returned to the carriage, his attitude towards Zhu Rang became much colder: "The master wants to rest and doesn't want outsiders to disturb him. Please go back."

Zhu Rang didn't expect to be turned away. He touched his nose and thought, I haven't offended the flower owner, why is the flower owner suddenly angry?

In the end, he could only blame it on the flower owner's weird temper and twisted personality.

Zhu Rang smiled and was about to go back when he saw Jiang Hanfeng in white clothes walking towards him with a sword in his hand.

When Zhengdao came to Yuding Villa to search for people, Zhu Rang was next to Fu Sheng. Jiang Hanfeng recognized this face.

Jiang Hanfeng felt a little unhappy when he thought that Ling Yun was persecuted by them.

He did not give Zhu Rang a good look. His eyes immediately moved away after falling on him, as if Zhu Rang was an insignificant ant, not a noble prince of a royal palace.

Zhu Rang has never been ignored like this in his entire life.

He was extremely ashamed, but this emotion was not enough to disrupt his years of cultivation. On the surface, he remained gentle and polite, stepped back half a step, made way, and waited until the huge carriage drove away before returning to his own carriage.

"The flower master doesn't like Zhu Rang?" Jiang Hanfeng asked.

Shen Yingxue squeezed against a backrest and lay lazily on the couch, feeling drowsy. When she heard Jiang Hanfeng's words, she responded perfunctorily.

"Why?"

Jiang Hanfeng asked this on purpose.

He also didn't like Zhu Rang, because of Zhu Rang, Ling Yun was almost mistaken for Shen Yingxue and taken away. As Ling Yun's father, Hua Zhu probably didn't like Zhu Rang either.

But Hua Zhu did not show up at Yuding Villa, so how could he know Zhu Rang’s role in it?

Jiang Hanfeng wanted to know how powerful the Flower Lord was.

He knew so much that it seemed as if all major events had traces left by him.

Shen Yingxue said: "As a kid from a royal family, you should just be a rich and idle person. Since you have no intention of competing for the throne, why bother to get involved in the disputes in the martial arts world? Zhu Rang is meddling too much, and he doesn't even consider whether he has the ability to do it."

When Shen Yingxue said this, she had the nobility of a modern person.

All kinds of movies, TV series and novels in later generations have written about martial arts, and the highest level of intention is to rise to the level of national will. Now is not a war period, but a peaceful and prosperous era. The royal family is involved in the affairs of the underworld, isn't it just for the chair up there?

Otherwise, he must be mentally ill and thinks he has lived too long, so he likes to be suspected by the emperor.

Jiang Hanfeng was deeply shocked to see Hua Zhu say things that ordinary people dared not say in such a casual manner.

It seems that Huazhu is...not unfamiliar with the affairs of the court.

Even though the Jianghu people were very disdainful of the imperial court, it cannot be denied that many loyal and righteous people still yearned for the imperial court's affirmation. Even those who did not have such a high sense of morality would still be in awe of the imperial court, and at most they would scold the corrupt officials in the government office, but they would never get involved in such matters.

Hua Zhu's tone was too casual, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, but he didn't know that such a thing would probably scare him to death even if Zhu Rang heard it with his own ears.

Why does the flower owner have this attitude?

Could it be that his real identity was an official in the court, or a royal descendant, who had to leave the court and come to Zanhua Lane because of the red marks on his face and his disabled legs, which was not proper?

Jiang Hanfeng asked, "Do you have any contact with Zhu Rang?"

The flower owner did not answer him.

The man in black was lying on a low couch, seemingly asleep.

His breathing was steady, and the hat on his head seemed to be in some way wrong and was slightly tilted. The black veil covered his face, very close to it, so that one could see his fair skin and patches of red.

Jiang Hanfeng looked at Hua Zhu, but the person he thought of in his heart was Ling Yun.

Ling Yun's height and body shape are very similar to Hua Zhu's. Jiang Hanfeng has taken care of Ling Yun for more than two months and helped Ling Yun bathe and change clothes. At that time, he was upright and only thought that Ling Yun was very thin and very white. Now, the body through the hazy mist suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Is Daddy asleep?" Zhu Chengyu tilted his head and said softly.

Jiang Hanfeng's thoughts returned to reality. He looked at the white-haired boy sitting not far away... This boy was also Hua Zhu's son and Ling Yun's younger brother, but he had nothing in common with his father and brother.

It must be because of his hair color, eyes, and dazzlingly pale skin. His facial features are probably more like his mother's, so that's why.

Jiang Hanfeng said: "Yes."

Zhu Chengyu knew that Shen Yingxue had fallen asleep, and began to show off his relationship with his master: "Dad, is there anything covering your body? Master Cat said that Dad used too much ice before and had a headache for a long time. He can't keep cool anymore."

Jiang Hanfeng picked up the thin blanket beside him and covered Shen Yingxue with it. "It's fine now."

"Can I ask you about your relationship with my father?" Zhu Chengyu felt that she was also a member of Zanhua Lane. Jiang Hanfeng was the confidant of the flower owner, and it was he who pointed out the relationship between her and her father. He should not be so guarded when facing her.

This question couldn't be simpler, but Jiang Hanfeng remained silent for a long time.

Before Zhu Chengyu asked, he had never thought about what the relationship between him and Hua Zhu was.

If the flower owner is willing to let him and Ling Yun be together, should they be considered father-in-law and son-in-law?

Zhu Chengyu blinked, innocently saying, "Can't I tell you?"

Jiang Hanfeng used to be obsessed with Ling Yun, but never thought about the future. Recently, he thought about Ling Yun more and more, and Hua Zhu's attitude was like that. Jiang Hanfeng felt that he should be responsible for Ling Yun.

He made up his mind that no matter how his heart changed in the future, he would never let Ling Yun down: "I... maybe... should be considered your future brother-in-law."

Zhu Chengyu was shocked.

Jiang Hanfeng and Jing'er, they actually have an affair!

Didn't Jiang Hanfeng like the girl named Ling Yun? Why did it become Jing Er?

This matter had little to do with him. Zhu Chengyu quickly accepted the reality and smiled at Jiang Hanfeng, "In this case, we are a family."

Jiang Hanfeng said calmly, "Not yet. The Flower Master still doesn't believe in my sincerity. I don't know what the final result will be. You'd better not mention it in front of the Flower Master, or he might get angry."

Zhu Chengyu smiled sweetly at him and whispered, "I know, brother-in-law."

Shen Yingxue was not sleeping very deeply. He seemed to hear someone talking, but he was very clear that he was sleeping.

It must be a dream, he thought.

Because the carriage was too big and moved very slowly, it took nearly twenty days to travel from Jiangnan to Kyoto.

Shen Yingxue had been here once before, and he had never thought that when he saw the familiar mosaic again, he would feel a sense of familiarity in his heart. It was really strange.

At this time, there were still nine days before the Heroes' Meeting. The people from Zanhua Lane entered the city and found an inn to stay in.

Xun Yan tidied up Shen Yingxue's room and placed the various gadgets he used in daily life in convenient locations.

Shen Yingxue only needed to wash her hands and face, sit at the table, drink tea and eat snacks.

After Xun Yan finished, Shen Yingxue said, "Call Jiang Hanfeng over and see what he has planned."

Xun Yan said: "Yes."

Shen Yingxue walked around the room, put on her hat, and sat back at the table. After a while, Jiang Hanfeng came over.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but ever since she had a strange dream on the morning of the day she parted with Zhu Rang, Shen Yingxue felt that Jiang Hanfeng was weird.

Through the black veil and mosaic, he couldn't tell what was wrong, but something was wrong anyway.

Jiang Hanfeng used to be quite afraid of him, but now he seems to be a little more attentive.

But Jiang Hanfeng always looks very indifferent, wearing white clothes with a cold temperament like an immortal, eyes as sharp as a sword, and occasionally a strong sword intent would burst out from his body. His character has never collapsed.

But precisely because his character was not broken, that strange attitude became more obvious. But Shen Yingxue couldn't tell what was wrong, and could only say that it was the psychological effect left by the dream.

Why did he have such a strange dream?

Jiang Hanfeng can't be with Han Jing no matter what, right? Even if they are fellow apprentices, it's still weird.

But the seniority is correct. Regardless of whether Han Jing is his adopted son or daughter, he should be Jiang Hanfeng's father-in-law.

"When do you plan to return to Yuding Villa?" Shen Yingxue asked.

Jiang Hanfeng was silent for a while, "I'll go with you."

"Why didn't you tell your landlord in advance?"

Jiang Hanfeng shook his head slowly.

Shen Yingxue asked curiously: "Why?"

Han Jing also came along. Fearing to be discovered, he kept wearing women's clothing, and his facial makeup became increasingly heavy. It seemed that he had learned some disguise techniques from Xun Yan, and there was almost no trace of his original appearance. Whenever Shen Yingxue saw him, she could not help but say that she could not tell the gender of the man.

Along the way, Jiang Hanfeng and Han Jing have spent a lot of time together, and they have developed feelings for each other, so it is understandable that they are reluctant to part.

Even though Shen Yingxue had guessed it, she still wanted to hear it from Jiang Hanfeng in person.

Speaking of which, these two people are destined to meet.

They used to be the second owner and the minor owner of Yuding Villa. Jiang Hanfeng taught Han Jing swordsmanship and how to behave in society.

Later, Han Jing defected and disguised himself as a woman. Jiang Hanfeng met him in Zanhua Lane. Perhaps they had a friendship before, but when he saw Han Jing dressed as a woman, he suddenly realized who he liked.

Now that Han Jing is walking around as a woman, Jiang Hanfeng has a buffer when being with him. She won't miss out on marriage because of homophobia like before.

Jiang Hanfeng didn't answer for a long time. He seemed a little ignorant when it came to the issue of feelings. In the first half of his life, he only had a sword. Now he was like a child who had just grown up, with no experience in feelings.

Shen Yingxue understood him and did not press the issue. She said gently, "Why don't you let Han Jing come over so you can have a chat?"

Why did they ask Han Jing to come? By the way, Han Jing was also a member of Yuding Villa.

Han Jing betrayed Yuding Villa, claiming to be Shen Yingxue's adopted son, and cut all ties with Yuding Villa. Jiang Hanfeng also wanted to persuade him, but after he knew that Han Jing and Hua Zhu had known each other for much longer than he thought, he no longer had the heart to persuade him.

Because he doesn't hold that high a position in Han Jing's heart, what he says is of no use.

But Jiang Hanfeng never thought that he would get mixed up with the defector Han Jing. Those who didn't know would think that he had defected as well.

How could this be?

While Jiang Hanfeng was thinking, Shen Yingxue had already made a decision for him. She called the person on duty outside in and asked him to go find Han Jing.

Han Jing was wearing women's clothes, and he didn't look as high-spirited as before, but rather a little listless.

When Shen Yingxue saw his expression, she gasped.

Han Jing has this expression because his father found out he was in love with his fellow student, right?

Could that dream be true?

Are Jiang Hanfeng and Han Jing really in love?

Shen Yingxue frowned: "What do you look like?"

Han Jing forced a smile and said, "The child just didn't get enough rest."

He didn't dare to say that he had deep feelings for Yuding Villa. If his adoptive father knew about it, he would definitely be unhappy.

"Forget it." Shen Yingxue looked at the two young people and felt like an elder. "You two should go talk next door. Don't talk about this in front of me."

Jiang Hanfeng and Han Jing looked at each other and both noticed Shen Yingxue's thoughtfulness.

They left, closed the door, and went to the empty room next door.

Jiang Hanfeng said, "What are you going to do? The people from Yuding Villa are looking for you, and they will definitely punish you when they return."

"I want to follow my master." Han Jing, dressed in women's clothing, spoke in a woman's voice: "My master has been very kind to me. For me, there is no other choice."

He had betrayed Shen Yingxue once before, and the feeling of betrayal was not pleasant. The Demon Cult treated him well, and the primary focus in the training of successive cult leaders was loyalty.

So Han Jing was tortured every night.

He didn't know that those people in the Demon Cult had intentionally trained him to be like this, so he could only reflect on himself, and finally came to the conclusion: he betrayed not only the Demon Cult and his adoptive father, but also his own ideals.

Han Jing's future was previously tied to the Demon Sect, but after the betrayal, he no longer had a future.

Now that he has the opportunity to reform himself, Han Jing will naturally seize it.

He couldn't help but feel lucky that his godfather was just pretending to be crazy. If his godfather was really crazy, he really didn't know what to do.

Huazhu's move was truly ingenious. His adoptive father stood out from the crowd of mediocre and incompetent people, and with his previous connections and resources, he made everyone jealous and occupied a place in the world.

Han Jing asked, "What about you?"

Jiang Hanfeng was silent: "I don't know."

"You don't know?" Han Jing was surprised. "What shook your determination?"

Yuding Villa also means a lot to Jiang Hanfeng. Just as Shen Yingxue would not betray the Demon Cult, Jiang Hanfeng would not betray Yuding Villa.

But now Jiang Hanfeng said that he didn't know.

Jiang Hanfeng sighed: "I have been looking for Ling Yun everywhere, but I have never seen him. You have followed the Flower Master for a long time, do you know where Ling Yun is hiding?"

Han Jing really didn't expect this to be the answer!

He was also there when Jiang Hanfeng said that he liked Ling Yun. In that situation, it was not surprising that he could say anything. Han Jing knew Jiang Hanfeng's character and he knew that Jiang Hanfeng was lying.

Gu Liansheng was very angry about this incident, and Han Jing even secretly laughed at him in his heart.

He saw Shen Yingxue's lifelike performance of fear and sighed many times in his heart. If it were him, he would never have the same tolerance as his adoptive father and endure humiliation and pretend to be crazy.

Many people know that "Ling Yun" is crazy. Han Jing puts himself in the shoes of Shen Yingxue and thinks that the identity of Hua Zhu is what his godfather wants most.

Ling Yun was definitely a shame that he never wanted to hear in his life.

But Jiang Hanfeng really fell in love with Ling Yun... fell in love with a non-existent person, and was even willing to betray Yuding Villa for him.

Han Jing found it unbelievable, but when he thought that the other person was Shen Yingxue, he felt it was natural.

The second brother is so miserable, his love is destined to have no result.

"Is it worth it?" Han Jing asked, "You don't know what kind of person he is, right? Is it worth giving up Yuding Villa for him?"

"My senior brother and Zhiyi are at Yuding Villa, so they'll be fine. Lingyun is alone, and I want to go see him." Jiang Hanfeng thought Han Jing had no feelings for them, but after hearing what Han Jing said, he realized that was not the case. He said to the girl whom he once treated as his own son, "Do you know where Lingyun is?"

The more Han Jing thought about it, the more pathetic he felt Jiang Hanfeng was.

"I don't know his whereabouts, I just want to remind you, don't look for him anymore."

Jiang Hanfeng: "Why? He's dead?"

It was the first time that Han Jing saw his cold senior brother being so emotional. If it were in the past, he would still be in the mood to laugh at him silently, but now he just felt helpless.

Why would a 19-year-old like him get involved in the complicated love affairs of his elders?

"He's not dead. With the Flower Master here, he won't die. Don't be sad." Han Jing comforted her. "The Flower Master will take good care of him. You don't have to worry about him and don't look for him anymore."

Jiang Hanfeng looked at Han Jing steadily, making sure that she was not lying, and felt that his guess was correct.

He knew that he knew nothing about love matters, and it just so happened that there were only two of them here, and the other person was a girl he was very familiar with.

Girls are always more meticulous and may be able to give some suggestions.

Jiang Hanfeng said, "We have known each other for many years. In your opinion, what kind of person am I? Can I fulfill my responsibilities as a husband?"

"You're fine..." It was the first time that Han Jing was asked such a question.

If frequenting brothels and partying every night is a crime, please let the moral code of the underworld punish him instead of making him wear women's clothes and serve as emotional counselor for his second senior brother and adoptive father.

Jiang Hanfeng asked: "Do you think Ling Yun will like me?"

Han Jing's expression was stiff: "I don't know."

Jiang Hanfeng suddenly remembered: "When we were in Yuding Villa, you were always at odds with Ling Yun, but do you really have a grudge against him?"

Han Jing was numb: "We have no hatred, I was just looking for a reason to get close to him and pass on the message."

so it is.

It seems that Hua Zhu was really worried about sending her crazy son here, so she let Han Jing protect him secretly as an enemy.

This means that Ling Yun had never been insulted when she and Han Jing were together in private. Jiang Hanfeng felt relieved.

"There are some things that I really can't figure out, but I don't know who to ask." Jiang Hanfeng frowned, very puzzled, "You are the only girl I know, and you know Ling Yun. I want to ask you for advice..."

Han Jing: “…”

Second Brother! I'm not a girl!

"If Ling Yun has feelings for me, but the Flower Master doesn't want him to see me, what should I do? If I continue to pester him, will Ling Yun be harmed by me?"

Han Jing's mind went blank.

He didn't know whether Ling Yun would be harmed by him, but he knew that if Second Brother continued to pester him and kept asking him these emotional questions, he would also be broken by these complicated relationships.

There are only two of us, why is it so complicated?

Jiang Hanfeng observed his expression: "Do you think Ling Yun will be unhappy? But if I give up looking for him, will Ling Yun feel resentful?"

"No." Han Jing's voice was unexpectedly calm. "He has forgotten you a long time ago. Don't look for him anymore. When the time comes, you will naturally meet him."

Shen Yingxue didn't want to eat dog food, so after she drove the two people away, she started watching TV series. After watching about half of the episode, Zhu Chengyu came over.

Ever since Zhu Chengyu acknowledged him as his father, he walked steadily and no longer needed to stretch out his hands to feel the way. If he had not never used his eyes to see, but instead listened with his head tilted, it would have been almost impossible to tell that he was blind.

Awu, who used to be inseparable from him, rarely appears in Shen Yingxue's sight now.

How could Shen Yingxue not know that he had been deceived by this boy who looked like a little angel.

I don’t know what happened, but the child suddenly stopped pretending to be pitiful and instead clung to him and insisted on being his son.

When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. Shen Yingxue remembers the character's setting and never lets down her guard.

Zhu Chengyu had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood. He knocked on the door and came in. He walked slowly to the table, sat down on the table, and listened carefully. When he found that there was no one in the room, he called out softly, "Daddy."

"Very happy?" Shen Yingxue asked, "Did you recognize Jiang Hanfeng and Jing'er next door?"

"Dad? So you know." Zhu Chengyu was surprised for a moment, but then he felt it was natural. His dad was the flower owner, and even if he never left the house, he knew everything about the world.

His sister and Jiang Hanfeng were right under his nose, how could he hide it?

"You know that too?" Shen Yingxue said, "I was the one who asked them to go next door."

"Yes, my brother-in-law told me."

Shen Yingxue paused in drinking her tea, not knowing what to say.

Although there is nothing wrong with it, Han Jing is a man after all, and the word "brother-in-law" sounds weird.

"Don't call him brother-in-law." Shen Yingxue said, "How can he be your brother-in-law."

"Daddy, don't you like Jiang Hanfeng?" Zhu Chengyu said with a smile, "I don't like him either. He's too stupid. My sister is so smart and beautiful. Jiang Hanfeng doesn't deserve her."

"There's no need to talk about people behind their backs."

"I'll listen to my father and won't say it again. No one taught me these things before. Am I very undisciplined?" Zhu Chengyu's mood became depressed as he spoke.

Shen Yingxue reached out and rubbed his white hair. Zhu Chengyu's hair was very smooth, with a light platinum-gold luster, delicate and soft. "Don't be sad. You are still young. You have a long time to live. You can learn slowly."

"Will Daddy teach me?"

"Can."

Zhu Chengyu smiled contentedly, "I
