Bai Li Dong Jun's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at Lei Meng Sha and Luo Xuan, feeling a tinge of envy.
This envy…
Had nothing to do with martial arts, cultivation, or background, but the purest kind of camaraderie between people.
"Someone's coming."
Ye Feng, deep in thought, reminded them as his perception flickered.
Everyone looked up, and a woman in red stood at the doorway, her beauty striking but her expression emotionless.
In the night after the autumn rain, she brought a chill out of nowhere.
"Such a beautiful woman."
Si Kong Chang Feng murmured in awe. Bai Li Dong Jun scoffed, "Ye Xiao Ge, are you sure she's human?"
"Miss…"
Ye Feng glanced at Bai Li Dong Jun, raised a finger, and pressed it against his forehead. "He doubts you're human."
!!!
【Ding, +100 emotion value from Bai Li Dong Jun!】
"He's gone mad!"
Lei Meng Sha immediately recognized the woman and rushed to stand between Bai Li Dong Jun and Ye Feng. He whispered, "Don't imitate my habit of talking too much. You know who she is? You dare to tease her like that?!"
Luo Xuan also stood up and bowed slightly, saying calmly, "Miss Yan."
"Qing Ge Gongzi, Zhuo Mo Gongzi, nice to meet you!"
The woman in red nodded slightly, her gaze involuntarily sweeping over Ye Feng and the others, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. "They are the young men from Dong Gui Wine Shop, according to Yan Qian Sui's temper, they shouldn't be alive now…"
"You don't know?"
Lei Meng Sha was surprised. Whether it was Yan Qian Sui, Needle Granny, or the Tofu Little Prostitute, they were all under the banner of the Yan family.
"Yan Qian Sui ran away, Needle Granny is dead, her body is still in the backyard, you…"
Lei Meng Sha stopped mid-sentence, swallowing the words "need to collect the body?" He smiled awkwardly.
"Needle Granny is dead?"
The icy expression on Yan family's eldest daughter's face finally showed a change. Her voice lowered slightly, "You killed her?"
"Don't joke, I wouldn't be able to kill her."
Lei Meng Sha's legs went weak, and he lied casually, "A mysterious swordsman did it."
"Clearly it was Ye Xiao Ge, uh, uh, uh…"
Bai Li Dong Jun was halfway through his sentence when Si Kong Chang Feng covered his mouth, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"
Of those present, only Bai Li Dong Jun didn't understand the gravity of the situation…
After all, the Yan family had been rooted in the Southwest Path for many years, with countless servants under their banner. The 逍遥天境 (Xiao Yao Tian Jing) was certainly a powerful figure, but they couldn't withstand a swarm of ants eating an elephant. Moreover, the Yan family might not abide by the rules of the martial arts world. Whether overtly or covertly, using underhanded tactics or poisoning, even a sword immortal wouldn't be able to withstand it.
At the very least, they couldn't be sure if Yan Liuli was friend or foe!
Therefore, Lei Meng Sha laughed it off and tried to brush it aside. However, he didn't expect Bai Li Dong Jun's straightforwardness to reveal everything.
"Mysterious swordsman?"
Yan Liuli's icy face remained haughty, her gaze shifting to Ye Feng. "It seems that it was this young brother who killed Needle Granny?"
"You should thank him…"
Lei Meng Sha repeatedly defended Ye Feng, "If Ye Xiao Ge hadn't acted, your Yan family would be gone."
"Hehe."
Yan Liuli was amused by Lei Meng Sha, her expression unreadable. "Zhuo Mo Gongzi has quite the big mouth!"
"Sigh, your Yan family probably didn't expect that the deed to this wine shop is in the hands of the Marquis of Western Garrison, did they?"
Lei Meng Sha pretended to sigh, pointing to Bai Li Dong Jun. "They even less expected that the one running a wine shop here is the only grandson of the Marquis of Western Garrison, right?"
"You are the grandson of Bai Li Luo Chen?"
Yan Liuli was stunned, her pupils constricting, her eyes now showing a hint of surprise.
"My grandfather…"
Bai Li Dong Jun didn't deny it. He smiled awkwardly, "Is he that famous?"
"Not only your grandfather, of course, the old Marquis, the Killing God, is certainly the most famous, but your father, your mother, your uncle, your maternal grandfather…"
Lei Meng Sha patted Bai Li Dong Jun on the shoulder, stating matter-of-factly. "They are all famous! They could be said to strike fear into the hearts of men!"
"I didn't expect…"
"That you are the young master of the Marquis of Western Garrison's family…"
Who is the Marquis of Western Garrison?
Bai Li Luo Chen, the Killing God, the one who would bury an army of ten thousand men without hesitation. If his only grandson died at the hands of the Yan family, wouldn't he raise an army to attack, slaughtering the entire Yan family?!
In such a situation, not even the current emperor could stop him, let alone the Yan family!
Yan Liuli's expression shifted several times, clearly understanding the gravity of the situation. She nodded slightly towards Ye Feng, "Liuli thanks… Ye Xiao Xiongdi here…"
"Hmm."
Ye Feng nodded with a seasoned air. He paused for two seconds before saying, "If there was a substantial token of gratitude, it would show more sincerity from the Yan family."
Everyone: "???"
【Ding! From…】
"Ahahaha…"
Lei Meng Sha quickly laughed it off, his laughter almost demonic. "Don't mind him, this brother of mine doesn't talk as well as I do…"
"Who's your brother?"
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, teasing, "Lei Shu Shu, how old are you this year?"
"Twenty-eight."
Lei Meng Sha blurted out, then rolled his eyes, "Who's your uncle? Who are you calling uncle? Am I that old?"
"I just turned sixteen…"
Ye Feng smirked slyly, "I guess I'm about the same age as your daughter?"
"Han Yi is only nine years old!"
Lei Meng Sha finished his sentence, then slapped his forehead. "Why did I bring up my daughter? What were you guys talking about?"
Everyone: "…"
"Lei Er, why don't you and this Ye Xiao Ge go outside?"
Qing Ge Gongzi Luo Xuan shook his head in exasperation. While Lei Meng Sha and Ye Feng were bantering, Yan Liuli had already revealed everything about the Gu and Yan families. What she said was not far off from the rumors Si Kong Chang Feng had heard.
The only difference was…
"Qing Ge Gongzi guessed right, the one I love is Gu Luo Li…"
A trace of melancholy crept onto Yan Liuli's icy face. "Gu Da Ge and I grew up together. I admired him, respected him. And that admiration, that respect, was like a seed…"
"Years later, I grew up, and the seed grew. That admiration and respect turned into love."
"But my brother, for the sake of the first position in the Southwest Path, killed Gu Da Ge!"
Everyone heard the hatred in Yan Liuli's voice and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, choosing not to interrupt.
"No one knew I liked Gu Da Ge. My brother wanted to use my marriage as a pawn, to set a trap and control the Gu family."
Yan Liuli sneered. "So, I agreed to the wedding, playing along with him!"
"The ancients were right!"
"The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart…"
An untimely voice suddenly sounded. Lei Meng Sha jumped up abruptly and pulled Ye Feng along. "Let's go outside and chat…"
"Chat about what?"
"I have the Three Shocking Fingers… Hmm? Forget it, I can't beat you."
Lei Meng Sha dragged Ye Feng into the backyard, deflating like a punctured balloon. "Speaking of which, I still don't know where Ye Xiongdi learned his skills?"
