The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

Although he still had a lot of money in his pocket, Zeng Wenyu did not refuse the shopkeeper. Taking the money was a social courtesy. If he didn't take it, the shopkeeper might think that he didn't forgive him and would make things difficult for him in the future.

The shopkeeper gave Zeng Wenyu a lot of silver. As long as the two of them didn't go to stores like Zhenbao Pavilion to buy things, they could go into any shop in the huge city of Andong to buy something, not to mention that Zeng Wenyu was only planning to look at the small shops in Andong City.

Walking along the street, Zeng Wenyu and Zhang Qing slowly approached Wang, Lan and Hua's houses while buying food.

The three families are not far from each other. The Lan and Hua families have a closer relationship among the three families. Once something happens to one family, the other families will come to help in time. This is why Village Chief Lian asked him for help. As for the Wang family, according to the information given by Village Chief Lian, they originally had a good relationship with the Lan and Hua families, but in recent years, because of their increased size, they have become more distant from the other two families, and even became enemies.

Standing in front of the Wang family's gate, Zeng Wenyu looked at the tightly closed main door of the Wang family. This kind of main door would not be opened easily under normal circumstances. However, people were constantly coming in and out of the side doors on both sides, and they all seemed to be servants of the Wang family.

There were two guards standing in front of the door. They looked very majestic, but Zeng Wenyu could feel that the guards' skills were not high. They just looked very majestic. They should be guards specially selected to guard the door.

After watching in front of the Wang family's gate for a while, a young man in brocade clothes walked out of a door on the side. After seeing the young man, the two guards immediately took the initiative to greet him and called him "Young Master".

Zeng Wenyu felt the fluctuations of the young man's cultivation level and found that the young man's cultivation level was very low, even lower than the two guards at the door. However, his status was not low. The servants coming and going would take the initiative to greet him when they saw him, and some would go up to ask the young man questions.

The young man left the palace and got on a carriage. Zeng Wenyu did not follow him. He could feel that the coachman was an expert. Although he was not defeated, he could not alert the enemy.

Turning around and leaving the palace, Zeng Wenyu and Zhang Qing walked towards the street where the Lan Mansion was located.

"Huh? Why are you here?" A familiar voice came from behind.

Zeng Wenyu turned his head and looked behind him. He saw Lan Shuang standing behind them in a long dress.

This was the second time Zeng Wenyu saw Lan Shuang wearing a long skirt. I have to say that Lan Shuang looked very beautiful in this long skirt after changing out of her military uniform.

Zeng Wenyu was also a little surprised, but he also guessed something. He and Zhang Qing walked up to Lan Shuang and held her hand: "Xiao Shuang, why are you here?"

"Why am I here? This is my home. I came back to see my grandfather." Lan Shuang was held by Zeng Wenyu's hand, her face flushed. "By the way, don't talk about me. Why are you two at my door? I remember I didn't tell you that my home is in Andong City."

"Um...if this is your home...I might have something to tell you..."

"What's the matter? Why don't you come home with me and talk about it?"

Zeng Wenyu's hand was held by Lan Shuang. He thought about it and decided that since this was Lan Shuang's home, there should be no problem going in and talking.

Lan Shuang held Zeng Wenyu's hand, and with the other hand held Zhang Qing's arm, and led the two of them into the Lan Mansion through the side door.

"Miss, are you back?"

Lan Shuang, Zeng Wenyu and Zhang Qing had only taken a few steps into the Lan Mansion when a middle-aged man came up to greet Lan Shuang, but his eyes were fixed on Zeng Wenyu, whose hand Lan Shuang was holding.

"Uncle Lan? Uncle Lan, you are home. Where is my dad? Is he home?"

"The master is in the study. If you want to see him, just go there."

Hearing what Uncle Lan said, Lan Shuang immediately pulled Zeng Wenyu and walked towards the depths of the Lan Mansion. Uncle Lan did not stop them. He just looked at Zeng Wenyu a few more times and then went about his own business.

"Uncle Lan is our family's butler. He has worked in the Lan Mansion for 30 years. He is the person that Dad trusts the most. Usually, a lot of work is given to Uncle Lan to do," Lan Shuang explained as she pulled the two forward. "But Uncle Lan seems to be leaving recently. He said that he will leave after holding Grandpa's 80th birthday party."

"Xiao Shuang, what does your family do? Why did you join the army to guard the border city?"

"Our Lan family is one of the largest merchants in Andong City. My father is the head of the Lan's business. As for why I joined the army in the border city... This is my own interest. Andong City does not have any military establishment other than the city defense, so I can only join the army in the border city."

While chatting, Lan Shuang brought Zeng Wenyu and Zhang Qing to the study in the backyard. She asked Zeng Wenyu and Zhang Qing to wait outside the study for a while, and she went into the study first.

It can be seen that the master of the Lan family is very fond of Lan Shuang. Even when Lan Shuang pushed the door open directly, he was not angry. He was very happy to see Lan Shuang come home.

"Shuang'er, it's good to be back. I got the news a few days ago that a battle broke out in Shubian City. I was worried for several days, fearing that something might happen to you."

"It's okay, Dad. I'm back safe and sound! By the way, Dad, I brought back two friends. They're right outside the study..."

"Since they are your friends, Shuang'er, just let them in."

The sound of Lan Shuang and her father talking could be heard in the room. Then Lan Shuang came out and took Zeng Wenyu and Zhang Qing into the study.

There is murderous intent! Zeng Wenyu felt the murderous intent as soon as he walked into the study. He could clearly feel that the murderous intent was emanating from Master Lan in front of him. Although it was only for a moment, he still captured it keenly.

Master Lan's eyes were fixed on the hands of Lan Shuang and Zeng Wenyu. It was this scene that made him emit murderous intent.

Of course, this murderous intent was directed at Zeng Wenyu. Lan Shuang naturally didn't notice it. She was holding Zeng Wenyu's hand to introduce him to Master Lan: "Dad, this is Zeng Wenyu, my daughter... the husband chosen by my daughter!"

When Mr. Lan heard Lan Shuang's words, his expression became obviously unnatural. He looked at Zeng Wenyu in front of him carefully, as if he wanted to know why Lan Shuang chose Zeng Wenyu in front of him.

Zeng Wenyu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Master Lan. He bowed to Master Lan and said, "Hello, uncle. I came here in a hurry today and didn't prepare any gifts. Please don't blame me, uncle."

"Young man, where are you from? What does your family do? How long have you known Shuang'er? What is your job?"

Zeng Wenyu was speechless. He didn't expect Lan Shuang's father to ask him this, although he also knew that it was normal for Mr. Lan to ask this.

"Dad! Why are you asking these questions?"
