Chapter 042 The two of them had a showdown
Looking at the uncertain eyes of the twins, Shen Yichuan smiled even more gently and amiably, "Yes, father promises that your mother and father absolutely love you the most."
The twins looked at each other, then both hugged Shen Yichuan's neck, "Father loves us the most, too."
"Yes, yes, father loves us the most too." In fact, the twins believe that their father loves them the most more than they believe that their mother and father love them the most.
Shen Yichuan rubbed the twins' heads and thought to himself: What innocent children they are. I wish their mother and father were as innocent as them.
Qi Xiuyuan stood outside and didn't go in after all. After a moment, he turned around and left.
The doting and warmth Shen Yichuan showed towards the child made him feel sick. He was afraid that he would not be able to resist and would take action after entering. Even if he wanted to kill Shen Yichuan, he could not do it in front of the child. Qi Xiuyuan knew this. As long as Shen Yichuan did not reveal his ugly face, he could not take action in front of the child!
…
Han family.
Several people in power in the Han family gathered together at this time, and everyone had a look of rage on their faces.
Third Master Han was the first to burst out in anger, "The Qi family! It must be the Qi family! They said Shen Yichuan and the twins were missing, how could it be such a coincidence! Now, the treasure we have been planning for a long time is gone. Apart from the Qi family, what other force could be capable of killing so many of our family's masters! Damn it! Our family has suffered a huge loss this time!"
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire hall became even more silent, and the faces of the Han family members became even uglier.
After a while, one of the Han family elders spoke up, "I also think the Qi family is most likely responsible for this incident, but we can't be completely certain. We still need to test the waters a bit. We also need to know if the Qi family is trying to gain an advantage, or if they've long harbored ulterior motives towards our Han family and no longer want to form an alliance. This is what we need to understand most."
This statement was agreed by others. After all, the Qi family was a big family. If the Qi family was wary of them, or simply did not want the two families to unite again, then... it would be even more troublesome.
"Third brother." The head of the Han family looked in the direction of Mr. Han Sanye, "I'll leave this matter to you to test it out."
Master Han San accepted the task and said, "Okay, but besides my side, I think we can also try a few things with the younger generation."
"What do you mean?" The head of the Han family raised his eyelids.
"To see the Qi family's attitude, we naturally have to look at it from top to bottom."
Everyone in the Han family seemed to be thinking about it, and then they all agreed, "Han San is right, Patriarch, that's exactly what we should do."
"That's fine." The Han family patriarch finally agreed, lowering his eyelids. His indifferent voice echoed in the hall: "The Qi family will be returning to the imperial capital soon. Shen Yichuan's attitude last time made us think there was something fishy going on. This time we can test him further. In addition, Qi Xiuyuan has broken through to the Martial Honor level. He is the next generation of the Qi family patriarch. His attitude is also very important. We can test it together."
"Yes, I know what to do." Mr. Han San agreed.
…
A few days later, the Qi family's team finally returned to the imperial capital.
The twins were the happiest. They returned to the familiar city, which made them feel much more at home when they saw the city gate after being away for many days.
"I really want to meet Han Yuan now." Qi Mengxi clenched her fists, her eyes shining. "Brother, when do you think we should visit Han Yuan?"
Qi Kongyang showed a malicious smile on his face: "You just came back today, you can be fine tomorrow."
This is obviously also very urgent.
Shen Yichuan and Qi Xiuyuan are now in the same carriage. Anyway, the space in the carriage is large enough, so the two adults can sit together with a large space between them.
At first, Luo Jiulian let the twins stay close to her in order to let Shen Yichuan and Qi Xiuyuan "cultivate feelings". Later, she realized that her son Qi Xiuyuan seemed not close enough to the twins, especially to Shen Yichuan, so she returned the twins.
Therefore, during the past few days, the family traveled in the same carriage, and even slept together in the inn at night.
However... apart from the superficial plastic friendship, Shen Yichuan really didn't develop any feelings with Qi Xiuyuan.
The truth is, after his rebirth, Qi Xiuyuan spoke very little, had a very cold face, and was almost emotionless... How could one cultivate feelings with such a person in such a state?
Shen Yichuan felt helpless too!
Especially since Qi Xiuyuan sometimes looked at him like he was dead. The last thing he wanted was to be in the same space with him. He was really worried that he would lose control and ask the gray-faced old man to take action. Therefore, it would be strange if they could cultivate any feelings!
If it weren't for the twins making jokes, these days would probably be even more difficult!
Now that they had finally arrived in the imperial capital, Shen Yichuan himself was slightly relieved, so when he heard the twins' words, he smiled and said, "You got the Cangshi Dragon's egg, and you can't wait to compare it with Han Yuan's Bluebird Egg?"
Qi Mengxi said with a smile, "Han Yuan told us before how hard his bluebird eggs were, saying they were impossible to break. My brother and I didn't believe him, so we wanted to give it a try."
They're trying to stir up trouble! Shen Yichuan immediately understood the twins' intentions. They wanted to use the Cangshi Dragon's egg to collide with the Blue Bird's egg, and then break the Blue Bird's eggshell! Really... bad!
Mystical beasts come in different levels. The higher their level, the harder their eggs are. The Cangshi Dragon's level is much higher than the Blue Bird's. If the shells of the two eggs collide, the Blue Bird's shell will undoubtedly break! It's a level seven Mystical Beast egg after all. If it were to break... the Han family kid would probably cry his eyes out.
Thinking of this, Shen Yichuan rolled his eyes and smiled: "As the saying goes, true knowledge comes from experiments. Your idea is not bad, but do you know it on the premise that others are willing to do it?"
The twins' eyes lit up and they nodded, "Don't worry, Dad. We will definitely let Fatty Han volunteer!"
Qi Xiuyuan finally gave Shen Yichuan a cold look, suspecting he had instigated the twins to do this in order to stir up trouble between the Qi and Han families. No, not suspicion, but certainty! But...what good would it do him to stir up trouble between the two families? Shouldn't this man be secretly befriending the Han family?
Yes, it's enough to be on good terms secretly. Of course, there's no need to be so open. On the contrary, the more conflicts between the two families, the better.
Qi Xiuyuan's eyes turned even colder as he glanced at Shen Yichuan. The twins sensed something and shrank their necks, becoming as quiet as chickens.
As for reptiles and chickens, they are afraid of everyone now and are unwilling to come out unless necessary!
The carriage stopped, and the twins quickly lifted the curtain and got out with the driver's help. After leaving the carriage, the twins felt a little warmer. Their mother and father's power was really getting stronger and stronger, so strong that they were afraid!
"Father, mother, let's go find grandpa and grandma." The twins said this and ran away quickly.
Shen Yichuan glanced at Qi Xiuyuan with a smile and said jokingly, "Xiuyuan, you scared the two little things."
Qi Xiuyuan snorted lightly and got out of the car.
Shen Yichuan secretly raised his eyebrows. Qi Xiuyuan, is he even trying to hide his unwillingness? With such an attitude, I'm afraid it won't be long before the entire Qi family knows that he doesn't like me...
As night fell, Shen Yichuan pondered a question. Qi Xiuyuan had already come out of seclusion, and now everyone was disgusted with each other, and Qi Xiuyuan was even unwilling to hide it, so... was it necessary to pretend to share a room?
He didn't mind sharing a room with Qi Xiuyuan, but Qi Xiuyuan's temper was unpredictable. What if this guy suddenly turned murderous? He didn't want to die so unjustly!
But, taking the initiative to not sleep in the same room? Qi Xiuyuan could do that, but if he did that... I'm afraid Luo Jiulian would talk to him in a few days.
The sorrow of living under someone’s roof!
After thinking about it for a while, Shen Yichuan returned to his room as usual. After all, if Qi Xiuyuan didn't want to share a room with him, he could just not come, right?
After taking a shower, Qi Xiuyuan still didn't show up. Just when Shen Yichuan thought that he wouldn't show up and he was about to practice, the door... opened.
Shen Yichuan immediately became alert, but a spring-like smile remained on his face.
"Xiu Yuan."
Qi Xiuyuan glanced at Shen Yichuan coldly, and the door closed automatically behind him without wind. Then, Shen Yichuan watched Qi Xiuyuan approach him step by step. Seeing that the other party did not hide the coldness and... murderous intent in his eyes at all, Shen Yichuan slowly put away his smile, knowing that Qi Xiuyuan probably couldn't help it anymore.
The moment Qi Xiuyuan raised his hand, Shen Yichuan quickly spoke: "Qi Xiuyuan, do you feel that there is something different about me?"
Qi Xiuyuan paused slightly and looked over with a cold gaze. Their eyes met. Shen Yichuan's were calm, while Qi Xiuyuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"What do you mean?" Qi Xiuyuan asked in a cold voice.
Shen Yichuan tried his best to calm his eyes, and spoke in a gentle voice with a hint of comfort. He said slowly: "I don't know if you have felt that I am different, but in fact... In fact, if it is not necessary, I don't want to say it, but I see that you are very hostile to me, and there are some things I have to say... I am not Shen Yichuan, not your husband, your Shen Yichuan, and I don't know why I am here. But I am not him."
Qi Xiuyuan's eyes wavered slightly, and his brows seemed to furrow slightly, as if he was thinking about something, but also seemed to be thinking about nothing. However, Shen Yichuan became more and more frightened as he noticed the changes in Qi Xiuyuan's expression, because he felt that Qi Xiuyuan was about to take action again!
In other words, no matter whether what he said was true or not, this person had decided to kill him immediately!
Before Shen Yichuan could think about it, he continued, "I'm not him, but for some reason, I have many of his memories, memories of his two lifetimes!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiuyuan paused slightly as he was about to raise his hand. This time, his gaze finally fixed.
