Chapter 275 The Wen Brothers and Sisters
The night is clear, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky, casting thousands of rays of light.
After Nan Xiao finished cheering, she walked back leisurely with her hands behind her back.
Before approaching the house, one could vaguely see the flickering candlelight reflected on the window lattice. In the dim light, several figures overlapped and intertwined, shaking their heads from time to time, as if saying something.
"It seems that the eldest brother and the others are back too."
Nan Xiao also quickened his pace.
She pushed open the gate and smiled innocently.
She shouted, "Brothers, I'm back."
The people talking in the pavilion stopped what they were doing and looked over at the sound.
Nan Xiao took a quick look and saw that besides her fellow disciples, there were also two unfamiliar young men and women.
Jiang Xia called out in a gentle voice, "Junior Sister, come here."
With guests present, Nan Xiao restrained his lazy and casual attitude a bit, and instantly looked much more serious and steady.
When Nan Xiao entered the pavilion, Su Xun pulled her to sit down and introduced her, "This is my junior sister, Nan Xiao." He then introduced the two of them to Nan Xiao, "Junior sister, this is the young master of Anyang City, Wen Anche, and this is the young master's sister, Wen Anruo."
Nan Xiao glanced at the two of them inconspicuously. Both of them had good facial features, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. Their eyebrows and eyes were 80% similar, and they looked like siblings at first glance.
She smiled and greeted, "Hello, Master Wen, hello, Miss Wen."
While Nan Xiao was studying them, they were also studying her. Compared to Nan Xiao's casual glance, the Wen siblings' gazes were bolder and more direct. Miss Wen, in particular, scanned Nan Xiao from head to toe.
Nan Xiao frowned slightly. She didn't like this kind of look, as if he was examining some goods.
Wen Anche secretly tugged at Wen Anruo's sleeve, signaling her to be more low-key.
Lifting the wine glass, he smiled and said, "I've heard Senior Brother Jiang talk about Miss Nan before. It's my great honor to have the opportunity to meet her now."
After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Out of politeness, Nan Xiao planned to return the glass to him. She picked up the glass in front of her and asked Lu Huai to put it down.
She looked at him in confusion, and Lu Huai switched the wine glass in her hand.
"Drink this one, it's low in alcohol and tastes just like you."
Nan Xiao nodded. She didn’t like spicy wine either.
Lu Huai handed her plum-flavored fruit wine, which tasted sweet and sour without a strong alcoholic taste.
After Nan Xiao drank the glass of wine, the Wen brothers and sisters didn't pay attention to her, but chatted with Jiang Xia and others.
Through their conversation, Nan Xiao also knew how they met and what happened after the demons massacred the village.
The Wen brothers and sisters encountered demons outside the city and were chased by them. Jiang Xia and his companions happened to pass by and rescued them.
Later, the Wen brothers and sisters did not rush back to the city, but joined Jiang Xia and others to wipe out the demons that were causing trouble to the people in the surrounding area.
It’s just that these demons were cunning and it took a little longer.
Nan Xiao listened to their conversation and quietly pushed the empty wine glass to Lu Huai beside him.
Lu Huai understood immediately, covered it with his sleeve, filled the wine glass and pushed it over.
Su Xun, who witnessed everything, held his forehead with his hand.
Have they forgotten that they are adults now and can drink? What's more, they are still in the hospital, so there is no need to be sneaky.
Looking at how familiar they are with each other, you can tell that they do this kind of thing a lot in their daily lives.
Jiang Xia noticed the little movements between the two, raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything.
Wen Anche: "Brother Jiang, the demon clan's general this time is Xiong Lin. He is ruthless and tyrannical. Although we failed this time and have withdrawn for now, what will happen next time?"
"It's easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days."
Jiang Xia didn't respond, but instead asked, "Young Master Wen, do you have a good idea?"
Wen Anche choked.
If he had a way, he wouldn't ask.
The atmosphere began to become a little awkward.
Su Xun tried to smooth things over: "Master Wen, our acquaintance is destiny. Don't dwell on that. Come, I'll toast you another glass."
Ye Wumian echoed: "Yes, Master Wen, let's drink today and talk about other things tomorrow."
Wen Anche understood the situation and went along with it: "What the two brothers said makes sense."
As Su Xun and Ye Wumian chatted about this and that, the topic gradually went off track, and they were both a little drunk.
Wen Anruo's gaze swept over Lu Huai and the other person from time to time, his eyes slightly gloomy.
She stood up, picked up the wine glass, walked around Wen Anche, walked up to Lu Huai, and said softly: "Brother Lu, this glass of wine is for you, thank you for saving my life."
"If Senior Brother Lu hadn't intervened in time, An Ruo would have fallen into the hands of the demons. An Ruo would like to thank Senior Brother Lu."
Lu Huai was also visibly taken aback, and said politely, "Miss Wen, you're too polite. It's just a matter of convenience. You've already thanked me before, so there's no need to be so rude."
Wen Annuo said, "Brother Lu, that's not what you said. It was a piece of cake for you, but you saved Annuo's life. Your life-saving grace is as high as the sky and as deep as the earth. Annuo will remember it for the rest of his life."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Maybe she drank too fast, the girl's cheeks flushed slightly, making her look cute and charming.
Nan Xiao and Su Xun looked at each other, gossip gleaming in their eyes.
Wen Anche chimed in, "Brother Lu, my sister is very stubborn. She just wants to thank you. If you don't appreciate it, who knows how upset she'll be, feeling like her kindness has been betrayed."
These direct disciples are all outstanding people. If An Ruo can form a Taoist partner with any one of them, it will be a guarantee for the future of Anyang City.
And he... was happy to see it happen.
Lu Huai's expression was serious, with a hint of coldness between his eyebrows. "Miss Wen, I have always been pragmatic in my work. Rather than your insincere thanks, it would be better to give you a hundred thousand or eighty thousand spirit stones directly. This way, it can be regarded as a real repayment for your life-saving grace, and you won't have to worry about this matter in the future."
"What do you think, Miss Wen?"
Wen Anruo's face turned pale, obviously he didn't expect that he would speak so bluntly and without giving him face.
The surroundings were quiet.
Except for Ye Wumian who was lying on the stone table and snoring, everyone else quietly pricked up their ears to eavesdrop, and occasionally glanced at him.
Among them, Nan Xiao and Su Xun were particularly noteworthy. Their shifty looks made Lu Huai feel depressed.
Jiang Xia lowered his eyes, only finding it amusing. He had never seen his junior brother look so cold before. Miss Wen... was a capable person.
Wen Anche pulled Wen Anruo back and said with a wry smile, "Brother Lu is right. I was not thoughtful enough. I will have someone send 100,000 spirit stones over tomorrow. I hope Brother Lu will not think it is too little. Just consider it a small token of my gratitude to you and me."
Lu Huai nodded with a cold face, obviously not wanting to say anything more.
"Big Brother, I'm a little drunk. I'm going back to rest first."
Lu Huai stood up and picked up Nan Xiao who was watching the show.
"Senior Sister looks quite drunk, I'll take her home on the way."
Nan Xiao: “???”
Nonsense, she is very sober.
Jiang Xia: "Okay, go to bed early."
After the two left, the others also dispersed.
Ye Wumian was carried back by Su Xun.
