Under the guidance of the beautiful woman, Jiang Fan came to the door of a wing on the fourth floor of Zhenbao Pavilion. Two burly guards and a middle-aged man stood outside the door.
"Young Master, I have met with the Chief Steward. This Young Master has urgent matters to see the Pavilion Master. The Young Master has..." The beautiful woman respectfully reported to the middle-aged man outside the door.
However, the middle-aged man coldly interrupted the beautiful woman: "The master is talking to the young prince, don't you know the rules?"
Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from the middle-aged man, causing the beautiful woman to take a few steps back involuntarily. Fortunately, Jiang Fan held her back in time, otherwise she might have fallen to the ground.
"This aura is so powerful, I'm afraid his cultivation has reached the level of spiritual elixir, right?" Jiang Fan's heart trembled.
When he fought against Chu Yan, whose cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of Lingquan Realm, it was obvious that the middle-aged man in front of him was much stronger than Chu Yan. The middle-aged man was slightly surprised by Jiang Fan's fearless reaction.
However, the middle-aged man still said coldly: "This will never happen again! Take this young man away quickly."
With Jiang Fan's help, the beautiful woman gradually regained consciousness after being confused for a while. She stammered and explained: "Reporting to the chief steward, this young master has a personal letter from the eldest lady."
Just when the middle-aged man was about to get angry again, the beautiful woman's words actually made him look excited.
"What did you say?" the middle-aged man asked in disbelief.
The beautiful woman was obviously frightened by the middle-aged man's attitude, and she forgot to answer for a while.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan quickly stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Senior, I'm Jiang Fan, this is a letter written by Sister Yumei. I would like to ask senior to read it." After speaking, Jiang Fan handed the letter to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man took the letter from Jiang Fan and was shocked when he saw Su Yumei's handwriting on the envelope. Then, he said to Jiang Fan: "You wait here for a while, I will inform the master of the pavilion." After saying that, the middle-aged man opened the door and walked quickly into the side room.
"Thank you, senior!" Jiang Fan replied respectfully.
Then, Jiang Fan took out twenty taels of silver from the Qiankun bag, turned around and handed it to the beautiful woman. After all, if it weren't for Jiang Fan, the beautiful woman wouldn't have suffered such a fright.
If it were anyone else today, the beautiful woman would definitely not bring him to the pavilion master easily. However, it was precisely because Jiang Fan held the eldest lady's autographed letter that the beautiful woman acted like this.
You know, in the two years since the eldest lady left the family, she never sent back a letter, but the Pavilion Master Su Xiao has always cared about her. This opportunity is simply a good job that comes to your door. How could this shrewd beautiful woman miss it?
It's just that the middle-aged man interrupted the beautiful woman before she could finish speaking, and that's what led to this scene.
At this moment, the beautiful woman took the silver coin from Jiang Fan, her face finally showed a hint of joy, and she said softly: "Master, you are too polite."
While waiting, Jiang Fan did not waste time. Through the beautiful woman's dictation, he initially understood the identity of the middle-aged man just now.
This middle-aged man named Lu Qingchen is the chief manager of Zhenbao Pavilion. There is a scar on his face, which was the scar he suffered when he rescued Su Yumei's father, Su Xiao, so he won Su Xiao's trust.
It is said that Lu Qingchen's cultivation has reached the middle stage of the spiritual realm, and his strength is second only to the Pavilion Master Su Xiao.
Lu Qingchen has a withdrawn and indifferent personality, and is taciturn. However, because he watched Su Yumei grow up since he was a child, he doted on Su Yumei and always loved her as his own daughter.
After a while, the door of the wing was gently pushed open, and Lu Qingchen said politely to Jiang Fan: "Brother Jiang Fan, the master of the pavilion invites you."
As for the beautiful woman, after receiving the silver, she also told Jiang Fan the identity of Lu Qingchen, and then left in a hurry. Obviously, this beautiful woman is very afraid of Lu Qingchen, the chief manager of Zhenbao Pavilion.
"Thank you, senior!" Jiang Fan saluted Lu Qingchen and followed him in.
The scene in front of me is a spacious and bright wing, with walls covered with exquisite calligraphy, paintings and embroidery. Those landscape paintings, flower-and-bird paintings, and exquisite embroidery works show the owner's taste for natural landscapes.
"Pavilion Master, we have been brought here." Lu Qingchen walked to an inner door of the wing and called softly to the back room.
"Okay, let him in." A man's deep voice came from the back room.
At Lu Qingchen's signal, Jiang Fan slowly walked towards the back room.
In the center of the back room is a carved mahogany round table. There are exquisite tea sets and porcelain on the table, exuding a faint fragrance. A middle-aged man and a young man were drinking tea. They were talking and laughing and seemed to be in a good mood.
The middle-aged man is wearing a simple and neat Tsing Yi, his eyes are deep, revealing an aura of calmness and thinking, as if he is hiding endless stories and experiences.
This mature and deep middle-aged man, although his appearance has been tempered by time, still exudes an elegant and profound charm.
The young man next to him was wearing gorgeous brocade clothes with flowing sleeves, and his brows showed a delicate and heroic spirit. This was Jiang Fan's first impression of the two men in front of him.
When Jiang Fan came in, the middle-aged man's eyes immediately became sharp, while the young man's eyes seemed to look at Jiang Fan with a hint of excitement.
Although it is impossible to guess the identity of the young man, the middle-aged man should be Su Yumei's father, Su Xiao.
"Are you Jiang Fan?"
While Jiang Fan was still looking at the two of them, the middle-aged man spoke.
Jiang Fan quickly bent down and saluted and replied: "Junior Jiang Fan, thanks to the care of sister Yumei, I came to Zhenbao Pavilion today to ask for some spiritual herbs to restore the soul."
Before the middle-aged man could continue to speak, the young man on the side stood up first and asked Jiang Fan excitedly: "Brother Jiang Fan, right? Is Yumei okay?"
The originally serious atmosphere was instantly broken by this young man.
Faced with the young man's excited questioning, Jiang Fan was obviously a little surprised. However, Jiang Fan's intuition told him that the relationship between the young man in front of him and Su Yumei must be deep. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so excited at the moment.
The middle-aged man coughed dryly and said calmly: "Let me introduce you first. This is the young prince of our Great Xia Kingdom. As for me, I am Su Xiao, the master of the Treasure Pavilion you are looking for."
Jiang Fan quickly replied: "Jiang Fan, a common man, has eyesight but cannot see Mount Tai. He didn't know he was the little prince. I hope the little prince will forgive me." After saying this, Jiang Fan knelt down to salute.
The little prince hurriedly stepped forward, helped Jiang Fan up, and said with a smile: "Since you are Yu Mei's recognized brother, you are naturally my prince's brother. My name is Nangong Yu, and if brother Jiang Fan doesn't dislike it, he will be called Nangong Yu from now on." My Brother Yu is fine."
Jiang Fan was shocked after hearing this and thought to himself: "I didn't expect Sister Yumei's relationship with this young prince to be so deep. It seems that Sister Yumei didn't tell me the truth at the beginning."
Recalling what Su Yumei said before, Jiang Fan couldn't help but think: "Isn't this little prince the one who wants to marry Sister Yumei?"
Although he thought so in his heart, Jiang Fan still quickly replied: "To report back to the little prince, everything is fine with Sister Yumei, but she is a little worried about her family."
"That's good! Yu Mei is doing well, I'm relieved!" The little prince Nangong Yu clapped his hands excitedly.
Jiang Fan learned this from Su Yumei. Faced with a situation like this, of course Jiang Fan had to say something nice, otherwise where would the spiritual grass to restore the power of the soul come from.
As expected, after hearing Jiang Fan's words, even Su Xiao showed a smile, and then said seriously: "We have already read this letter, you can single-handedly destroy the Feng family. , indeed has some strength!”
Jiang Fan was stunned and thought to himself: "It seems that even though this pavilion master is in Wu'an City, he still knows everything about Ziyang City."
Then, Jiang Fan quickly explained with a smile: "Senior, you are joking. I tried my best to use the spells taught by my master, and I was lucky enough to defeat the head of the Feng family."
Facing Su Xiao's seemingly casual but actually soul-like interrogation, Jiang Fan would not be stupid enough to say that he defeated the Feng family solely due to luck.
However, this reason seems not to satisfy Su Xiao. As soon as Jiang Fan finished speaking, Su Xiao stood up, quickly came to Jiang Fan, held the latter's wrist and began to look at it.
"Senior, what are you doing?" Jiang Fan pretended to be surprised.
No need to think too much, the other party was blatantly sizing up his strength. Jiang Fan only hoped that the other party would not know about his master.
As Su Xiao's slightly frowned brow gradually relaxed, the hand holding Jiang Fan's wrist immediately pulled away. Then, Su Xiao said with a smile: "I didn't expect that little friend Jiang Fan is actually a true spiritual body. Such spiritual bodies are rare!"
After hearing Su Xiao's words, the stone in Jiang Fan's heart finally fell. In any case, the secret of his body was finally not discovered by the other party.
After sorting out his emotions, Jiang Fan responded with a smile: "I made senior laugh."
"I really didn't realize that Jiang Fan is actually a true spiritual practitioner that is rare to see in ten years!" The little prince Nangong Yu on the side patted Jiang Fan's shoulder excitedly and said with a smile.
"Reporting to the little prince, this can only be said to be good luck." Jiang Fan replied, scratching his head in embarrassment.
Jiang Fan is right. Regarding the body of cultivation, everyone has already been determined when they are born.
The little prince Nangong Yu said slightly angrily: "Brother Jiang Fan, do you look down on me or what? You said you can just call me Brother Yu, why do you say "little prince" in front of me and "little prince behind"? This sounds so unfamiliar. ah!"
Jiang Fan was slightly embarrassed after hearing this, and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that this little prince was serious." Jiang Fan thought that what the little prince just said was just a joke.
"Haha!" Su Xiao chuckled, and then said earnestly: "Now that the little prince has spoken, little friend Jiang Fan will obey. In the future, this girl Yumei will always return to the family and marry the little prince. Yes, this is my brother's fault!"
Jiang Fan suddenly realized: "It turns out that I was really deceived by Sister Yumei!"
In the scene before him, if Su Yumei didn't know the little prince, he wouldn't believe it if he beat Jiang Fan to death.
Just like that, under Su Xiao's urging, Jiang Fan recognized the little prince as his eldest brother on the spot.
Jiang Fan's words of "big brother" made the young prince Nangong Yu very excited, but Jiang Fan understood that this was all for Su Yumei's sake.
However, the next moment, the little prince Nangong Yu's mood became depressed and he said softly: "I didn't expect that we have been separated for two years. If I had known that I should not have agreed to her at the beginning, there are still three years left, how should I survive... …”
Seeing this, Su Xiao stepped forward and comforted: "Your Highness, the little prince, that girl Yumei threatened to die back then. This girl is good at everything, but she is too stubborn. Even I can't stop her. Little prince Your Highness, please don’t be too sad.”
"Yes, there are still three years, and it has passed in the blink of an eye. If Yumei hadn't forced her to die, I would never have agreed to her. In these five years, it would be better to let her give up on the path of cultivation. At that time, she can come back and be my princess with peace of mind." Little Prince Nangong Yu responded softly.
Looking at the conversation between the two men in front of him, Jiang Fan could hardly help but spit out a mouthful of old blood. It turned out that he had been so completely deceived by Su Yumei.
However, from their conversation, it seemed that the agreement was real, but Su Yumei deliberately concealed the fact that she did not know the little prince.
"Perhaps Sister Yumei also has her own difficulties." Jiang Fan looked at the little prince Nangong Yu in front of him and sighed secretly in his heart.
