Chapter 128 Young Master Xie's Rant
The attendant of Xie's eldest son?
Wan Qiqi's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
She didn't expect Chen Yongnian to give her such a big surprise; perhaps there was another breakthrough!
After a short while, Chen Yongnian finally spotted the group of people by the lake and paused for a moment.
He said to the attendant, "Eleven, I have conveyed Master's words. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
Following the direction he was looking, Shiyi frowned and complained, "That woman was chatting so happily with the young master's personal maid just now; she's obviously not a good person!"
Chen Yongnian showed his displeasure, "That's my wife!"
"Ah?" Eleven realized he had misspoke and hurriedly explained, "You can't judge a book by its cover. Although your appearance is somewhat... somewhat..." He couldn't find the right words for a while, so he skipped it, "but she must be beautiful inside and out!"
Chen Yongnian added, "She is a vicious woman whom everyone in our village hates."
Eleven was taken aback, somewhat confused. Did this important person want to hear good things from him, or bad things?
"Alright, Eleven, go back and rest. You can't even understand a person!"
A man in a brocade robe suddenly appeared behind him, startling Eleven so much that he jumped down the steps and complained, "Young master, don't scare me! I'm easily frightened. If you die of fright, no one will serve you!"
Xie Xing glanced at him and waved for him to leave.
Upon understanding, Shiyi immediately clasped his hands in a salute to him and quickly disappeared through the side door.
Chen Yongnian was also quite shocked by the sudden appearance of the person and looked him up to take a look.
This man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a chivalrous air. His brocade robe was simple and neat, showing no trace of a noble young master.
"You're his new apprentice?" Xie Xing glanced at him. "Nice physique. Come on, let's have a go."
Before Chen Yongnian could refuse, the other party had already made a move.
In the distance, Chen Yongxing and Lin Dazhuang saw the people who came out attack Chen Yongnian directly. Before they could understand what was happening, they had already passed by.
Wan Qiqi tilted her head and stared, motionless.
Chen Yongnian had never trained and was easily knocked to the ground by Xie Xing in two moves.
Chen Yongxing immediately blocked Chen Yongnian's path, making a gesture as if he wanted to fight Xie Xing.
Xie Xing frowned, looking at the formation in his hand, not understanding why this person was rushing over.
Chen Yongnian pulled Chen Yongxing's arm to stand up, bowed to Xie, and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle-Master, I haven't formally started learning yet."
Xie Xing had already discovered that not only had he not started learning, but he also had injuries.
He glanced at the two men who had rushed out and said coldly, "You know them?"
Chen Yongnian nodded: "My second younger brother and the people from the same village."
Chen Yongxing looked completely bewildered.
Uncle-Master?
This guy doesn't look much older than my brother, so how did he become my brother's senior uncle?
Suddenly, Chen Yongxing realized, when did his elder brother have a master?
Who is his master?
What exactly did I miss during the few days I didn't see my older brother?
After glancing at it a few times, Wan Qiqi continued selling sweet soup, feeling vaguely that she owed someone another favor.
It seems that Tao Ran still enjoys human relationships.
After exchanging a few words, the others saw that Wan Qiqi was busy by herself, so they immediately went back to help.
Xie Xing followed Chen Yongnian over and stopped at the stall entrance. He stared at the jar, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Honey grapefruit syrup?"
Chen Yongnian washed the cups and asked with a smile, "Yes, Uncle-Master, would you like to try some?"
Xie Xing suddenly smiled, "Interesting! So you're the ones who messed with Tang the Rascal!"
Tang rascal?
Wan Qiqi's eyes lit up. She found this person quite to her liking and handed him the sugar water she had prepared. "Just for that, I'll treat you to it!"
Xie Xing sized up Wan Qiqi, his brows furrowing once more.
Having traveled the world for many years, he had seen all sorts of people. While he couldn't tell what kind of person someone was at a glance, he could at least get a pretty good idea.
He couldn't see the woman in front of him clearly.
He felt that this person was very complicated, as if he had many secrets, yet he also seemed very simple, with desires written all over his face.
"Uncle-Master?" Chen Yongnian looked at Xie Xing's expression and saw that he seemed dissatisfied with his wife, even refusing to accept the sweet soup.
However, this is normal.
The family of my martial uncle is much wealthier than the Tao family, and he is a highly praised hero. How could they, as nobodys, possibly befriend him!
Being recommended by Headmaster Tao and chosen as a disciple by Instructor Xue is already a blessing he has accumulated over eight lifetimes; how could he possibly ask for more?
Wan Qiqi looked up and met Xie Xing's eyes, then smiled faintly, "Uncle-Master, please have some sweet soup."
Her unabashed initiative made Xie Xing's lips twitch, and he took the sugar water and drank a sip.
Sure enough, it tasted the same as the one he drank at the martial arts school.
He asked bluntly, "What is your purpose in approaching me, or deliberately getting close to the Xie family?"
Wan Qiqi handed over her work to Chen Yongxing and stood together as if she was about to talk to President Xie.
Chen Yongnian also handed over the task of washing the cups to Lin Dazhuang, and stood aside with Wan Qiqi.
He didn't know what they were talking about, but he felt it was related to his visit to Baizhi Town today.
"I heard that the young master of the Xie family is going to take a new bride again?" Wan Qiqi smiled faintly and looked at Xie Xing.
"Really? I've heard about it!" Xie Xing sighed, feigning ignorance, "I wonder which girl is going to be harmed again!"
"..." Wan Qiqi wanted to say, "Your younger brother, how could you not know?"
You seem to care too little about family matters.
"Have you heard the saying that your younger brother is a jinx to his wives?"
“Brother? What kind of brother is he? He’s sickly and useless!” Xie Xing complained, then looked at Chen Yongnian and cleared his throat, saying, “I’ve heard of him.”
