Chapter 55 A Fine Display of Tea Talk
The group strolled along, chatting as they went, and soon arrived at Lingyun Pavilion. Built against the mountain, Lingyun Pavilion soared into the clouds, truly living up to its name of soaring into the clouds.
To ease Gu Yan's mood, Su Huaiqi deliberately chose a spot by the window. It must be said, the view from the window was truly beautiful.
The food was served one after another. Yu Zechuan casually waved his fan and admired the scenery outside the window, but in reality, he was secretly observing the actions of the Fourth Elder and the fake Bai Heming.
"Brother Yu!" A pretty female voice came from the side.
Upon hearing this, the group turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in green holding a long sword walking briskly toward them.
"No way..." Gu Yan couldn't help but mutter, quickly picking up his teacup and shrinking his neck in an attempt to cover himself up.
"What's going on with you?" Shen Mujin became increasingly curious.
Just now in the main hall, Gu Yan also felt that the appearance of the woman in green and the Qingfeng Sword Sect was very strange.
As they were talking, the woman in green had already walked up to their table, her pretty face full of surprise.
"Brother Yu, it really is you! I didn't expect it would be you who came to Wutong Manor this time." The woman in green addressed him affectionately, her familiar words suggesting that she had known Yu Zechuan for a long time.
Yu Zechuan was also somewhat surprised by the appearance of the woman in green. He stood up with a smile and said, "Miss Shangguan, it's been a long time."
"Brother Yu is still so polite to me. Back then, Uncle Yu and my father even wanted to match us up and make us a couple." Shangguan Yanlin smiled, her face as radiant as a peach blossom, making it impossible to look away.
Yu Zechuan lowered his eyes, his tone polite but distant: "I am already engaged. Please do not bring up the elders' jokes again, Miss Shangguan, so as not to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings."
"What?" Shangguan Yanlin was somewhat surprised that Yu Zechuan, who was usually arrogant, aloof, and indifferent to women, was actually engaged. She couldn't help but turn her gaze to the three girls sitting at the same table as Yu Zechuan.
"Oh? Then congratulations to Brother Yu on finding a good match. But may I ask who your wife is?"
Then, Su Huaiqi was forced to stand up.
Yu Zechuan actually took the opportunity to hold her hand and half-embrace her in his arms!
Shangguan Yanlin looked at Yu Zechuan, who usually had a cold and imposing demeanor, now smiling gently as he looked at the woman in his arms.
"Qiqi, this is Miss Shangguan from the Qingfeng Sword Sect."
"Hello, Miss Shangguan." Su Huaiqi couldn't stand Yu Zechuan's sudden "change of expression," but out of consideration for the person in front of her, she could only greet him with a slight smile.
Shangguan Yanlin smiled and nodded, her blatant scrutiny only making Su Huaiqi more displeased.
Where did Yu Zechuan get himself into this mess of unwanted romantic attention again?!
Suddenly, Su Huaiqi looked aggrieved, blinking her watery eyes at Yu Zechuan. Although her voice was soft, everyone present could hear it clearly.
"Ayu, did I do something wrong? Why doesn't my sister greet me? Does she not like me?"
The Shen-Gu duo, who were sitting on the sidelines watching the show, couldn't help but want to give Su Huaiqi a thumbs up.
Tsk, these tea-talking remarks are really sharp.
Shangguan Yanlin was also surprised by Su Huaiqi's words. She quickly looked up at Yu Zechuan and explained, "Sister, you misunderstand. Sister's appearance is amazing. I was just temporarily captivated."
Su Huaiqi covered her mouth and chuckled, "My sister really knows how to dress up, unlike me who's so clumsy that I can only come out without makeup and embarrass Ayu."
Gu Yan: Tsk tsk tsk, Mu Mu, listen to this classic dialogue.
Shen Mujin: I never expected that Qiqi, a tomboy, would have this skill.
Yu Zechuan hadn't expected the person in his arms to be such a good actor, and he couldn't help but become interested. He lowered his head and said affectionately, "How could that be? In my eyes and in my heart, you are the most beautiful."
This startled not only Shangguan Yanlin, but also Su Huaiqi himself.
Good heavens, what am I going to do about Yu Zechuan becoming so greasy?
Shangguan Yanlin originally only wanted to come over and greet Yu Zechuan, so she could show off her close relationship with him in front of the other sects. Unexpectedly, her plan backfired, and she ended up shooting herself in the foot.
Shangguan Yanlin quickly shifted her gaze and happened to see Gu Yan eating melon seeds at the table, forgetting to cover himself.
"why you?"
"!" Seeing Shangguan Yanlin's gaze fixed on him, Gu Yan wished he could disappear into the ground immediately.
Oh no, I got so caught up in the fun that I forgot I had a grudge against this girl.
"Last time you were so blind to block my way and even tried to flirt with Brother Jiang Si. I didn't expect that when Brother Jiang Si ignored you, you would turn around and try to seduce Brother Yu."
"... "
Gu Yan was speechless. This girl was probably taking out all the anger she had been holding in from Qi Qi on him.
And how come she has so many brothers?
Based on Gu Yan's previous behavior, Shen Mujin seemed to have discovered something. She turned to Yu Zechuan and shouted, "Brother-in-law, explain yourself! If you don't speak up, Third Sister will be framed by this girl."
Perhaps it was because Shen Mujin's address of "brother-in-law" was novel to Yu Zechuan, or perhaps because Yu Zechuan did not want to make a big fuss and attract attention, he immediately spoke up to stop her, saying, "Miss Shangguan, please be careful with your words."
Shen Mujin stepped aside to shield Gu Yan behind her, looking at Shangguan Yanlin with a serious expression, and let out a cold snort, "As a fellow woman, Miss Shangguan is indeed a bit too aggressive. Could this be the kind of disciple trained by the Qingfeng Sword Sect? It seems the Qingfeng Sword Sect isn't all that great after all."
"You..." Shangguan Yanlin knew she was in the wrong, and was afraid that saying more would only make things worse. She could only glare fiercely at Gu Yan and Shen Mujin, and without even saying goodbye, she left angrily without looking back.
Gu Yan: Why are you glaring at me? I haven't said a single word the whole time.
As soon as Shangguan Yanlin left, Su Huaiqi immediately crawled out of Yu Zechuan's arms, and even wiped her hands on her skirt with a hint of disgust. "Young Master, it's a good thing you didn't marry her. She's not young, but she has quite a temper. This isn't marrying a wife, it's marrying an ancestor."
Yu Zechuan felt a sudden emptiness in his arms and a strange emptiness in his heart. After pulling his arms back and sitting down, he said, "Her father is the second elder of the Qingfeng Sword Sect. She's just a spoiled little girl."
"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems you know quite a bit about this young master. Were you also once smitten with this willful and pretty girl when you were young? If you ask me, you should quickly break off our engagement so you can hurry up and marry her."
"Impossible, don't even think about it." Yu Zechuan refused without even looking up.
Su Huaiqi didn't want to pay attention to him, so she turned her head to look at another "poor thing".
"Ayan, what's the situation between you and that girl?"
Looking at the expressions of the people in front of him, Gu Yan scratched his head and could only recount what had happened that day when he was looking for Jiang Si at the Kunlun Hotel.
"What! Jiang Si actually treated you like this! Could it be that he was switched too?" Although Su Huaiqi hadn't known Jiang Si for long, he could still see from Jiang Si's every move that he cared for and looked after A Yan.
"You think everyone is fake?"
"Could it be that Jiang Si has also encountered some situation that makes it inconvenient for him to acknowledge you?" Shen Mujin wondered, her brows furrowed slightly.
"I don't know, but everyone has been acting strangely ever since we arrived at Kunlun Ruins." Gu Yan slumped onto the table, feeling increasingly troubled and unable to control the situation.
"Sigh, we should have asked that girl about Jiang Si. If we ask now, she'll probably say we're still hung up on Jiang Si," Su Huaiqi said, shaking his head with a hint of regret.
After lunch, most of the sects couldn't sit still any longer and took their leave, asking the Fourth Elder for permission. Their excuses were either that their sects had other matters to attend to, and by the afternoon, only three or five sects remained in the Lingyun Pavilion, enjoying the scenery.
Gu Yan and his companions remained calm. Originally, they wanted to leave Kunlun Ruins as soon as possible for their safety, but seeing other martial arts sects leaving one after another, Yu Zechuan decided to postpone their departure.
Aside from Gu Yan and his group, the Qingfeng Sword Sect also remained. After all, their close relationship with Kunlun Ruins was common knowledge, so they didn't think much of it.
only.
Gu Yan looked at the fake Bai Heming chatting and laughing around Shangguan Yanlin and suddenly felt a little annoyed.
My older brother isn't like that at all!
He and Brother Li have a very good relationship.
An hour later, after Gu Yan's countless prayers, Yu Zechuan finally got up to bid farewell to the Fourth Elder.
The four had not gone far from Lingyun Pavilion when they heard a familiar voice behind them.
"Mumu, Ayan."
Gu Yan and Shen Mujin paused, quickly turned around, and looked at the three people waving at them as they walked briskly towards them.
"Maiqiu, Uncle Peng!" Shen Mujin and Gu Yan were surprised to run into acquaintances here and hurriedly went to greet them excitedly.
Gu Yan patted Mai Qiu on the shoulder, and Shen Mujin excitedly gave Uncle Peng a big hug.
Shen Mujin: "Uncle Peng, what are you doing here?"
"After leaving Wuzhou, we went with Lao Chen to the Five Mountains Alliance to find Alliance Leader Xie. Just a few days ago, Alliance Leader Xie also received the invitation to the heroes of Kunlun Ruins. Lao Chen thought that Young Hero Li and Young Hero Bai were in Kunlun Ruins, so he asked Mai Qiu and me to come along as well."
Shen Mujin suddenly realized that Uncle Peng and Mai Qiu must have also seen through the fact that Bai Heming in the main hall was an imposter, and they were even more certain that Gu Yan was the half-sister that the fake Bai Heming had mentioned.
“Uncle Peng…” Shen Mujin glanced cautiously at the middle-aged man beside Uncle Peng, unsure of how to begin.
Uncle Peng noticed Shen Mujin's hesitation and quickly pointed to the person beside him, giving her a reassuring look. "Mumu, I know what you want to say. This is Lao Xie and Lao Chen's longtime friend, and also Lao Shao, the current manager of the Five Mountains Alliance. Shao Yuanxin, you can just call him Uncle Xin. We're all on the same side, don't worry."
Gu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and punched Mai Qiu next to him. "You don't know, I was stunned after that dummy finished telling the story."
"Don't even mention it, when I saw that Young Master Bai I thought there was something wrong with my eyes." Mai Qiu covered her arm and took a few steps back to the side. It was better to stay away from Gu Yan, who was full of resentment.
Looking at the two girls in front of him, Shao Yuanxin understood their current state of being on edge and took the initiative to speak to them, saying, "Don't be nervous, ladies. Old Chen only told me and the Alliance Leader about your situation. He sent Da Peng and me here this time to prevent others in the Alliance from finding out."
“Yes, Mumu. I wanted to say hello as soon as I saw you two, but Uncle Xin stopped me, saying that there were a lot of people around and it might cause trouble if someone with ulterior motives saw us.” Mai Qiu said from the side.
Shen Mujin nodded. "Uncle Xin, I'm so sorry, we hadn't confirmed your identity just now, so we..."
Shao Yuanxin waved his hand dismissively, "One should always be wary of others. I understand the two young ladies' reactions perfectly."
“However…” Shao Yuanxin looked at the tall figure standing not far away. “Is that the young master of Wutong Manor?”
Gu Yan noticed the question in Shao Yuanxin's eyes and quickly explained, "Yes, but please rest assured, Uncle Xin, the young master came to help me this time. He is one of our own."
Shao Yuanxin nodded knowingly and gave Yu Zechuan a friendly nod.
Yu Zechuan also saw Shao Yuanxin in the crowd. Although the two did not exchange any words, they understood that they could trust each other.
