Brother Xie, he is too popular. What should I do?

Sure enough, when Xie Yunhe said that he wanted to get his sword back.

He was rejected by Mr. Qin.

"Thank you, Swordsman. Is it because I haven't treated you well enough? Why do you have such thoughts?"

To be honest, according to the rules of the underworld, when visiting someone else's home, you need to take off your armor and travel light.

Firstly, it is to ensure the other party's safety, and secondly, it is to show respect, especially since this is the residence of the leader of the martial arts world.

It is reasonable to ask Xie Yunhe not to carry a sword, but it is unreasonable to keep his sword in the study. Generally, it is just asked not to wear it.

If the guest puts the weapon back on, it means he is leaving the place or is dissatisfied with the place.

Mr. Qin's statement actually distorted the meaning.

He didn't mention a single word about him seizing Xie Yunhe's sword.

Xie Yunhe estimated the strength of the two men. He felt that Master Qin's strength was unfathomable and he could not beat him.

If he could beat the other person, he would just rob him openly.

But he thought he could not beat the other party, and besides, this was the other party's territory, and it would be difficult to resolve if things got out of hand.

Forget it, forget it, just bow your head when you should.

"I didn't mean that. I just stayed here for a long time and I felt like practicing swordsmanship."

Xie Yunhe bowed.

"As expected of a young man, you are diligent. If you want to practice swordplay, you can ask the servants in the mansion for a wooden sword."

Mr. Qin would rather give Xie Yunhe the wooden sword than return his sword to him.

Xie Yunhe knew that there would be no result today and didn't want to get entangled with Master Qin anymore.

Just as he was about to say goodbye, Master Qin spoke again.

"Thank you, Swordsman. Don't blame me for being cruel regarding your relationship with my son. You are still young and have many better options."

Master Qin said slowly.

This matter was mentioned again, and Xie Yunhe looked up at Master Qin.

The midday sun shone into the room through the hollow wooden windows, shining on Master Qin, making his face look a little gloomy.

Xie Yunhe originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the other person's expression, he changed his words.

"The younger generation knows, I will explain it clearly to A Yu. Alas, in the final analysis, we are not destined to be together."

As he spoke, Xie Yunhe lowered his head slightly, looking sad.

Mr. Qin seemed very satisfied with the result. He nodded and let Xie Yunhe leave.

Xie Yunhe walked out of the study without stopping.

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he was away from the study and saw the sun hanging in the sky.

What he originally wanted to say was that he and Young Master Qin Yu had no personal relationship.

But his intuition told him it was better not to say that.

If the information he collected showed that he was the future young wife brought back by Qin Yu and that they had a deep bond, then he'd better continue with this identity.

Because he felt that if he did not have the identity of Qin Yu's sweetheart, Master Qin would kill him immediately.

He was a person who regarded human life as worthless.

The reason why I was able to chat with him for a few more minutes was probably because of his status.

Xie Yunhe said that he wanted to cut off his relationship with Qin Yu, which was exactly what Mr. Qin wanted. Naturally, he would not do anything to stop Xie Yunhe.

This also made it natural for Xie Yunhe to go find Qin Yu.

When Xie Yunhe walked in the Qin Mansion, he always felt that this place was like a nest, with people passing by wherever he went.

A little uncomfortable.

Now it seems that these people are like Master Qin's spies, observing every move of the people in the mansion.

After Xie Yunhe remembered how to use his internal energy, this feeling of being spied on became even more obvious.

Xie Yunhe remained calm and quickly came to the place where Wen Zhizhi said Qin Yu was being held in solitary confinement.

In fact, it was in Qin Yu’s own bedroom, he was just confined to the bedroom.

Servants delivered three meals a day, so it wasn't that miserable.

When Xie Yunhe came to this small courtyard full of bamboo, there were several guards standing there.

Those guards are all skilled in martial arts, and they seem to be quite powerful.

Xie Yunhe walked over and was about to explain his purpose.

The guards at the gate actually gave way.

Xie Yunhe immediately understood that Master Qin might have already informed them that he was coming to find Qin Yu.

He didn't say anything and walked into the bedroom.

The layout of the bedroom was very similar to that of Xie Yunhe's guest room. There was a person sitting at the table behind the screen.

Xie Yunhe walked over, turned straight around the screen and looked at the man.

The man was wearing a white jade robe and was leisurely drinking tea from a teacup.

I wasn't surprised to see Xie Yunhe come in.

He tilted his head slightly towards Xie Yunhe.

Xie Yunhe appeared calm on the surface, but he was already shouting in his heart.

How many times, how many times has this happened?

Another person with holy light on his face.

The same is true for Wen Zhizhi.

Should I say they are really brother and sister, they look exactly the same!

"Qin Yu?"

Xie Yunhe asked uncertainly.

The man put down the teacup with his slender white fingers, and the cup made a "knock" sound on the wooden table.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, my sweetheart, don't you recognize me?"

Qin Yu spoke the explosive words with a calm expression.

Xie Yunhe felt something was wrong. This was not what a love-sick man would say to his sweetheart.

This is not the right reaction.

At this moment, a memory replayed in Xie Yunhe's mind.

It was in a room of an unknown inn. There were two men wearing swords, one in blue and the other in white.

Xie Yunhe is also familiar with the two protagonists in the picture.

Isn’t this him and Qin Yu?

The two are talking.

Qin Yu: "Then it's settled. I'll bring you into the Qin Mansion, and you need to pretend to be my sweetheart."

Xie Yunhe: "No problem, but can I ask Brother Qin why you are doing this?"

Qin Yu: "It makes my dad mad."

Xie Yunhe: “…”

The screen ends.

Xie Yunhe was stunned when he received the memory.

It turned out that he and Qin Yu from the Qin Mansion were not really a couple. They had agreed to put on a show for others to see.

This is a deal between them.

The things that Xie Yunhe couldn't figure out before suddenly became clear to him.

No wonder there is such a big difference between the young master described by the maid Xiaotao and the big brother described by Wen Zhizhi.

It is estimated that the series of so-called good things about their relationship were performed by the two of them for the people in the Qin Mansion to see.

Wen Zhizhi also described Qin Yu, but his description was more in line with the real Qin Yu's character.

The relationships in the Qin Mansion are really subtle.

So, a new question arises: why does Xie Yunhe want to enter the Qin Mansion through Qin Yu?

And thanks to Qin Yu, he lived in the inner courtyard when he moved into the Qin Mansion.

Most of the chivalrous men who came to watch the ceremony stayed in the inns outside. Only a small number of distinguished guests could stay in the Qin Mansion, but they also stayed in the outer courtyard of the Qin Mansion.

What is his purpose in coming to the Qin Mansion?

Xie Yunhe waited for a while, but no new memories appeared.

Well, maybe the key thing hasn't been triggered yet.

Considering that there were many guards with high martial arts skills outside the door and walls have ears, Xie Yunhe decided to speak vaguely.

"Brother Qin, I'm just heartbroken to see you've lost a lot of weight and lost your appetite these days. How many more days do we have to keep going like this?"

How long will the deal between them last?

Qin Yu's hand holding the teacup trembled when he heard Xie Yunhe's words.

He recalled guiltily the days when he had eaten and drunk well. Not only did he lose weight, he even gained some fat.

But he was not stupid and he understood what the other party meant.

"Isn't it up to you? I can do anything."

This matter was decided by Xie Yunhe. Wasn't this what they agreed on at the beginning?

To be honest, after Qin Yu met Xie Yunhe and came up with such a plan, he did not expect that the plan would be implemented so smoothly.

He needed someone to pretend to be his sweetheart, and Xie Yunhe wanted to enter the Qin Mansion. The two hit it off and successfully completed the transaction.

When will it end?

Xie Yunhe thinks it’s possible anytime!

It’s best to do it now!

But after a while, Xie Yunhe calmed down again.

It turned out that I tried every possible means to get into the Qin Mansion. There must be something I wanted in the Qin Mansion.

He couldn't leave the Qin Mansion like this.

"In a few days."

The deal continues for a few more days.

Xie Yunhe cleared his throat and spoke a little louder.

"Brother Qin, after tossing and turning these days, I don't think we are suitable."

Xie Yunhe still remembered why the guards outside the door were so cooperative.

This represents Mr. Qin's intention, which is to separate Xie Yunhe and the other person as soon as possible.

"Brother Yun, you really hurt my heart when you say that!"

Qin Yu took on the role smoothly, and even showed some signs of being possessed by a dramatic spirit.

There was a hint of trembling and grief in his voice.

Xie Yunhe: ...

Don't call him Brother Yun!

He now knew where Wen Zhizhi's materials came from...

The guard at the door heard the conversation between the two people in the room and naturally did not miss the two sentences that suddenly became louder.

They nodded secretly in their hearts. It seemed that Master Qin's plan to break up the couple was about to succeed.

After a while.

The guards saw Xie Yunhe walking out with a distraught look on his face.

Gradually move away.

A guard left the team and went to report the situation to Master Qin.

Silence returned to Qin Yu's yard.

the other side.

Only after Xie Yunhe walked away did he put away his expression.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and felt that life in this large mansion was not easy, with people always watching him no matter what he did.

It's truly a miracle that such an environment could produce people like Wen Zhizhi and Qin Yu.

Soon, he arrived near the gate of Qin Mansion.

Following Wen Zhizhi's instructions, he climbed over the wall when the guard was changing shifts, and no one saw him at that time.

Climbing over a wall is not a big problem for Xie Yunhe, who already has mastered the skill of lightness.

Without disturbing any people or animals, Xie Yunhe landed lightly on the other side of the wall.

On the other side of the wall is a small alley, and outside of it is the street market.

As soon as you walk out of the alley, the noisy sounds of the crowd come like a tide, the hawking of the vendors, the conversations between pedestrians, the footsteps of the people jostling each other, and the hustle and bustle of the world are endless.

Coming out of the quiet and closed Qin Mansion, Xie Yunhe felt like he had been released from prison. He felt more comfortable in the outside world.

Xie Yunhe began to walk on the street and observe the situation here.

You can see a difference at first glance.

There were many people walking on the street who were carrying swords. Xie Yunhe could sense that these people all had some martial arts skills.

The strength is also uneven, some are high and some are low.

They should have gathered together because of the martial arts conference, a grand event in the martial arts world.

Xie Yunhe felt that he was better than most people here.

If these people wanted to compete for the position of leader of the martial arts world...

Excuse me for being blunt, but it's impossible to defeat Master Qin.

As Xie Yunhe walked, he did not forget the task assigned to him by Wen Zhizhi.

His eyes wandered around both sides of the street, looking for the location of Gulan Bookstore.

Gulan Bookstore was not difficult to find. Walking down the street, Xie Yunhe soon saw the bookstore.

The bookstore is located on a quiet street corner.

From the outside, you can see four large characters written in a flamboyant style on the black plaque above - "Gulan Bookstore".

There was a constant stream of people at the door of the bookstore, including martial arts knights with swords and scholars in Confucian robes. It was surprisingly lively.

The sunlight shone dappled outside the bookstore, casting a golden coat on the people coming and going in front of the Gulan Bookstore.

Only then did Xie Yunhe realize that it was already noon and time passed so quickly.

He walked quickly into Gulan Bookstore, stepped over the threshold, and wanted to find the owner of the bookstore.

As soon as you enter the bookstore, the unique woody fragrance and ink scent of books waft over. The people inside are all talking in low voices, and occasionally the sound of turning pages can be heard.

Xie Yunhe subconsciously slowed down his pace.

The bookstore's counter is easy to find, right in front of the door.

Xie Yunhe came to the counter, took out the large stack of rice paper in his arms, and looked at the person behind the counter.

It was a young man in a light green robe. He was placing his hands on the book, as if stroking the texture of the pages with his fingers.

He was facing the door sideways, and Xie Yunhe couldn't see his face clearly for a moment.

"Shopkeeper, this is the manuscript that Mr. Qianzhi asked me to bring."

Xie Yunhe knocked lightly on the counter to remind the young man in green who seemed to be in a daze.

The man turned and looked at Xie Yunhe.

Seeing the familiar holy light, Xie Yunhe's heart was no longer disturbed.

This is the fourth one. There’s nothing strange about it. Maybe people here just look like this.

But this one is a little different. There is a blue strip of cloth around his eyes. This person must have an eye disease.

A person with eye disease and a bookstore, how can they be connected?

Xie Yunhe was a little hesitant. Could he have found the wrong person?

Could this person not be the shopkeeper here?

"You are... Yunhe?"

The young man in green stood up, as if he could see, and fixed his eyes firmly on Xie Yunhe.

There was great surprise in his tone.

"It's me. I'm Chen Qixing. We played together when we were little. Do you still remember me?"

Chen Qixing smiled at Xie Yunhe.
