After sending Yan Yueli back to his room to sleep, Ji Beichen set up several talisman formations around Yan Yueli, took out the Cangxu Sword from the storage ring, and left it beside the bed to protect Yan Yueli.
When Ji Beichen left the room, Jing Xiaowei happened to be settling down the drunk Yan Nianxin. Jing Xiaowei was born as a secret guard and had more secret skills than he did, so he was not worried about Yan Nianxin's safety.
Seeing Jing Xiaowei coming out of the room, Ji Beichen quickly stepped forward and said, "Nian Xin has caused trouble for brother Xiaowei!"
Seeing Ji Beichen being so polite, Jing Xiaowei waved her hands and said, "Brother Ji, what are you talking about? It's my fault for being greedy and drinking too much, which also caused Miss Yan to drink too much. I don't know what Brother Nianxin can't get over, why were you trying to persuade me just a second ago?" Drink less, you will drink so hard the next second!"
Yan Yueli was a light drinker, so Ji Beichen expected her to drink too much, but he did not expect Yan Nianxin to drink too much.
Ji Beichen knew that Jing Xiaowei knew about Yan Nianxin's life experience, so he said without hesitation: "Nian Xin seems to have a dull temper, but in fact he has a rough life experience. He may have heard something during lunch, and then he became sentimental and touched the depths of his heart. Just started drinking..."
The two of them walked downstairs while talking. When they reached the first floor, a person passed by Ji Beichen. The voice of that person was very familiar to Ji Beichen. After a little recall, he remembered that it was one of the four people in the private room during lunch. of one person.
Ji Beichen winked at Jing Xiaowei, and Jing Xiaowei immediately understood, nodded, and followed him. The two of them followed the man and walked out of the wine shop towards the port on the east coast.
Just as Ji Beichen and the two walked out of the inn, the door of the room next to Yan Yueli was gently pushed open, and Yan Nianxin walked out of the room with an indifferent expression.
He was Yan Mingxiu's adopted son, and he had the true inheritance of his adopted father. How could he get drunk with just a few glasses of wine. He heard the conversation between Senior Brother Ji and Jing Xiaowei in front of the door just now.
Indeed, as Ji Beichen said, he suddenly started drinking because he heard a conversation between an "old friend" and it reminded him of past events. He felt unhappy in his heart, so he raised his glass and drank together. And he pretended to be drunk because he wanted to go find out more about it without telling Senior Brother Ji and Brother Xiaowei.
Yan Nianxin drew a charm at random, turned his wrist, and slapped an invisibility charm on Yan Yueli's door. This is Yan Nian's newly added blood invisibility talisman. Unless it is him himself, it will be difficult for even a monk in the Mahayana stage to detect the cultivation and aura of the person in the room.
At this time, Yan Nianxin was wearing the monk's uniform of the elder of the Huan Mie Sect, with his hair disheveled, and turned around and went downstairs. This monk's uniform worn by the elder of the Huan Mie Sect was ripped off by the secret guard from the elder Scorpion's body during the sword trial meeting. This elder's uniform is different from the ordinary sect monk's uniform. It has the special runes and aura of the Huan Mie Sect. He wore it today to facilitate the gathering of information.
While in the lobby, he had secretly placed a tracking powder on that "old friend". This tracking powder was what he had begged from Jing Xiaowei before. He could have used the tracking talisman, but he knew that the "old friend" was always cautious, and he was afraid that the "old friend" would detect something, so he used a safer method.
Yan Nianxin followed the traces of the fans and soon came to a relatively remote house on the island. The house was built next to the sea and was very elegant. Yan Nianxin turned over and entered the house in a short stature.
It was the time after lunch and lunch break. The house was quiet, and no servants or servants passed by. Yan Nianxin quickly touched the backyard, which was an inner house near the sea. There are large tracts of small pink flowers planted in the courtyard of the inner house. Those flowers are hard to name because they are mostly wild flowers that grow on islands and bloom all year round.
Yan Nianxin knew that the person he was looking for was in the inner house. He jumped on the roof of the inner house, lifted a few tiles, and listened for the sounds inside.
A man's voice was heard in the inner house: "Sister Ying'er, come to my brother's arms quickly!"
The woman who was called "Sister Ying'er" exclaimed: "General Xue is disgusting. He knows that Chen Ying'er is dead, but he still mentions 'Ying'er'. It's bad luck!"
"General Xue" was not annoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "My dear girl, you don't understand. The Lord of the City treasured Chen Ying'er. After her death, the singers recruited in the mansion, whoever looked like her, he called them Ying'er." Son!"
"Jiao Niang" didn't feel that the man opposite was flattering her, she said disdainfully: "Huh, the city lord doesn't like Chen Ying'er, it's not because she looks like Huan Xin'er..."
When "General Xue" heard the word Huan Xin'er, he was so frightened that he quickly covered "Jiao Niang's" mouth and whispered: "Shh, please keep your voice down, be careful that walls have ears!"
"Jiao Niang" heard this but didn't take it seriously, and said loudly: "What are you afraid of? Now that the city lord has a new backer, why are you afraid that Huan Qianqiu will do anything to him! The slave family doesn't understand, didn't the city lord personally kill Huan Xin'er? The two of them gave birth to a child His child was also abandoned by the city lord in the wilderness, why does the city lord still think about Huan Xin'er?"
"General Xue" recalled the past, shook his head, and sighed: "Why bother mentioning the past? People's hearts are made of flesh. The city lord also had his own difficulties back then. The little emperor of the Mu family had issued an edict at that time. For the sake of the people of Youzhou, the city lord did not Choice, but I don’t want the little emperor’s golden words to say...
Okay, sweet lady, now that the city lord has given you to me, you can serve me with peace of mind. Once this mission is completed, I will marry you! "
Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Yan Nianxin put the tiles back again, thinking in his heart. This "General Xue" was acquainted by Yan Nianxin. He was the former subordinate of the Lord of Youzhou City and was now his biological father's confidant.
During lunch, at the restaurant on the pier, the private room that Brother Ji inquired about was the last man to enter the private room. Before he entered the private room, he had lunch with General Xue. As for what the man said, "The capital sent people here," Yan Nianxin suspected that he had something to do with General Xue, so he pretended to be drunk and hid his identity to investigate.
Although his adoptive father Yan Mingxiu did not tell him about his life experience, the stubbornness in his heart made him want to know the truth. After years of inquiring, he finally understood the whole story.
After learning about his life experience and clarifying the love-hate entanglement between his parents, Yan Nianxin was quickly relieved of the fact that his mother was Huan Qianqiu's daughter. But what he has never been able to accept is that his father turned out to be the murderer of his mother, and he personally ordered him to be abandoned in the wilderness!
At this time, Yan Nianxin was confused when he heard the conversation between General Xue and Jiao Niang. What kind of imperial edict did the Mu family emperor issue back then that forced the lord of Youzhou City to kill his first wife? According to what General Xue said, did his father really have any last resort?
Yan Nianxin remembers things early, and the memories of when he was two years old are still there. He vaguely remembered the appearance of his parents. The scene he remembered most was his mother holding him in her arms, waiting for his father to return home at the gate of the city lord's palace. My father always had a cold face towards outsiders, but he was extremely tolerant towards his mother and himself.
He had forgotten these memories deep in his mind, but when the familiar voice of General Xue reached his ears, Yan Nianxin's dusty childhood memories suddenly emerged. The fragments of memory are connected together and weaved into a picture of maternal love and paternal love.
Only then did Yan Nianxin realize that his parents' relationship had been so good, and he was also a child who grew up with love and care. It was just the gear of fate that made everything beautiful freeze at that moment.
Yan Nianxin put the cloak of the elder's uniform on his head, covering most of his face. He had just found out that General Xue in the room was just a physical cultivator with a humanistic foundation, but the woman named "Jiao Niang" had hidden her cultivation, and her identity might not be that simple.
He thought for a moment, then tapped his finger to draw a bursting symbol in the air, then turned his wrist to shoot towards the door of the wing.
There was just a "bang" sound, and the explosive talisman touched the door, directly knocking the two doors away. Wails suddenly came from inside the house, and the loud noise attracted the guards from the outer courtyard.
"Who are you and why are you breaking into a private house without permission!" More than a dozen Dao Foundation-building Jindan-level guards, armed with swords, surrounded Yan Nianxin.
Yan Nianxin knew that these guards were just for ordinary people and wealthy businessmen, so he did not take action immediately. He gently shook the elder's cloak on his body. As the clothes vibrated, the runes on the cloak opened, and a strong infuriating energy surged in all directions.
There was a "plop" and a wailing sound sounded in the inner courtyard. That infuriating energy passed by, and the people in the room immediately sensed something unusual and hurried out of the room to greet him.
General Xue ran out of the house in embarrassment. When he saw Yan Nianxin in the courtyard wearing a black cloak, his knees softened and he fell to the ground with a plop, shouting:
"General Xue Zhuang, under Duke Chen Ling, respectfully welcomes the elder of the Huan Mie Sect. Only the leader of the Huan Sect is waiting for you!"
Yan Nianxin knew that General Xuezhuang was not familiar with the elder of the Huanmie Sect. He only sensed his identity based on the aura emanating from the elder's uniform.
But the "little girl" in the house is different. If she is from the Demon Sect, then she must be able to sense that her identity is suspicious. He has been dealing with people from the Demon Sect for many years, and his adoptive father Yan Mingxiu has long taught him how to sense the differences between various sects from the fluctuations of zhenqi used by the monks, thereby identifying the monks of different sects.
Therefore, in order to confirm the identity of the "little girl", he must "force" the girl to take action at this time!
Yan Nianxin raised his eyes and looked at General Xuezhuang, who was kneeling on the ground with disheveled clothes. He lowered his voice and sneered: "Oh? Since General Xue is willing to obey my sect leader, why do you have to be duplicitous and do it in secret? I'm not afraid that the sect leader will blame you and slaughter you." Youzhou City!”
Xuezhuang was originally timid and fearful. Although he was made a general by City Lord Chen, he had never been on the battlefield. As soon as he heard the word "slaughter the city", his knees trembled on the ground and he kept kowtowing.
He kept begging loudly and begging for mercy: "Don't dare, don't dare, Xue doesn't dare to deceive, my city lord is also forced to have no choice, I miss the national master..."
Just when Xuezhuang was about to spit out the "truth", a voice came from behind Yan Nianxin: "General Xue, don't talk nonsense. I'm afraid you are drunk! Since you are drunk, go down and rest quickly to entertain the distinguished guests. It’s better to leave this kind of thing to me!”
As soon as Yan Nianxin heard this sound, his whole body froze on the spot. This voice was all too familiar to him. He didn't expect that ten years later, the "old friend" mentioned by his adoptive father Yan Mingxiu was still alive!
