When Chen Xiaotian heard this, his frowning eyebrows relaxed and he said with a smile: "It's good to be back. It's a blessing to have traveled all the way. Go back to your room and have a rest early."
Pan Suxuan followed the sound of the words and watched. A woman in a yellow shirt walked in from outside the hall. She saw her curvy waist and temples. Her posture was graceful, as bright as spring flowers, and as bright as the autumn moon. It made people feel as if she had stepped out of a painting. Like a beautiful lady, Pan Suxuan could not help but be stunned for a moment as she walked slowly and gracefully in the warm spring breeze...
The woman in yellow shirt walked into the lobby and noticed that there were guests in the hall. But what surprised her even more was that there was a soft bed in the formerly solemn Xuanzang Hall, and there was a young girl lying on the bed.
When Wang Rong, Ma Desheng and others saw the woman in yellow shirt, they all stepped forward to salute. The woman in yellow shirt returned the salute with a smile, then looked at Chen Xiaotian and said, "Father? What's going on? What happened?"
Chen Xiaotian said: "It's nothing. Yixin, tomorrow is the day of the competition. You'd better go get ready and leave it to my father."
When Pan Suxuan heard this, he thought to himself: "It turns out that she is Chen Yixin who is trying to find a bride through a martial arts contest. It seems that the reason why this martial arts contest can cause a sensation in the entire Jinling City is not only because Chen Xiaotian is the general who protects the country, but this Chen Yixin is indeed a powerful figure in the country. The beauty..."
Chen Yixin said: "Father, if there is anything, please don't hide it from me! Also, who is this girl?" After speaking, she pointed at Zhao Niantong who was lying on the bed.
Chen Xiaotian glanced at Zhao Niantong and said with a hint of embarrassment: "She...she is a disciple of one of my father's old friends. She came to visit yesterday and was accidentally killed by a villain. Now she is seriously injured, and my father is healing her."
Chen Yixin said in astonishment: "Who is so bold? Dare to commit murder in Xuanzheng Hall?"
Chen Xiaotian said: "The perpetrator has not yet been found, but this person is highly skilled in martial arts, meticulous in his actions, and seems to have premeditated it. This is what worries me the most as a father."
Chen Yixin said: "Premeditated?! Father, do you mean that someone is going to do harm to our Chen family?!"
Chen Xiaotian was silent for a moment. He didn't want to tell his daughter these things, but looking at the current situation, he probably couldn't hide it anymore. So he solemnly said: "Yesterday, my father received a letter from Elder Houtu of Caixia Palace. The letter said that an old friend will visit on the tenth day of March, so I should prepare early."
Chen Yixin said in confusion: "Since it is an old friend coming to visit, why do you need to prepare in advance? Could it be that he is your enemy, father?"
Chen Xiaotian shook his head and said: "He is not an enemy, but this person's arrival is also very dangerous for our Chen family, so we have to guard against him."
After hearing this, Chen Yixin asked in surprise: "Father, I wonder who this person you are talking about is?"
Chen Xiaotian did not answer, but turned to Ma DeSheng and said: "DeSheng, quickly gather your bodyguards, select capable people, and secretly strengthen patrols in the house. If there is a special situation, don't act rashly, report it to me immediately! "
Ma Desheng took the order, turned around and left the lobby. Chen Xiaotian said to Wang Rong again: "Manager Wang, please check the guest list for tomorrow's competition again, select the distinguished guests who were originally arranged to stay in the mansion, and arrange them to live in Huixian Tower at the foot of Qinglong Mountain."
Wang Rong nodded in agreement, glanced at Zhao Niantong reluctantly, and then retreated with Shuang'er and others. There were only four people left in the lobby: Chen Xiaotian, Pan Suxuan, Chen Yixin and Zhao Niantong who was lying on the bed.
Chen Xiaotian then said to Chen Yixin: "Yixin, this is Mr. Pan, one of the white-robed protectors of Caixia Palace and a disciple of Elder Houtu."
Chen Yixin stepped forward and saluted: "I have met Mr. Pan. Since you are the disciple of Elder Houtu, it must be the letter you sent all the way for my father. This little girl would like to thank my father for this friendship!"
Seeing this, Pan Suxuan hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "Miss Chen, you are too polite. I am also acting under the orders of my teacher. What a small effort is worth mentioning!" Chen Yixin smiled slightly and said: "Young Master Pan is too modest. After all, you two are fighting for the affairs of my Chen family. It goes without saying that we have been tired from the journey, but just because Jing was injured, we should also express our deepest apologies."
When Pan Suxuan heard this, her face turned red, thinking that she had mistaken Nian Tong for my wife. He was about to explain, but suddenly he changed his mind and realized something was wrong. Zhao Niantong was dressed in men's clothing. How did Chen Yixin know that she was a daughter? "
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Chen Xiaotian say: "Yixin, you are mistaken. They are both disciples of Elder Houtu. They are not a couple as you thought."
After hearing this, Chen Yixin smiled sweetly and said: "To put it this way, I am really rude, blame me. Father, don't you know what to call this girl?"
Just as Chen Xiaotian was about to speak, he suddenly realized something was wrong, so he asked, "Yixin, how did you tell that the young man on the bed was a woman disguised as a man?"
Chen Yixin smiled and said: "Father, have you forgotten? Aren't I the best at dressing up as a man? I knew this young master was a girl as soon as I saw him, because her appearance is so similar to mine."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Xiaotian and Pan Suxuan couldn't help but take a closer look at Zhao and Chen. Except that Zhao Niantong's face was paler due to injury, the two were really similar. However, in comparison, Zhao Niantong's face shape was different. The roundness makes her look petite and cute, while Chen Yixin's slender eyebrows make her more beautiful and dignified.
After seeing this, Chen Xiaotian laughed and said: "I see, no wonder you asked me who this girl was as soon as you entered the lobby. My father didn't react at that time, so you got in. So, you already knew she was A woman?"
Chen Yixin smiled and said: "My father is busy with official duties and has many things to do every day, so naturally he doesn't care about these little things. Besides, I am a girl and I am naturally more sensitive to appearance and dress, so I pay more attention to it."
Chen Xiaotian nodded and said with a smile: "That's true. However, Yixin, you are becoming more and more careful. This ability to see into subtle things and get a glimpse of things is even better than your mother!"
Chen Yixin smiled and said: "Father, you have praised me. How can I compare with my mother? In your mind, my mother is a wiser person who can compete with Zhang Liang and Zhuge Yue. It would be great if my little tricks were used in front of her. The class is doing something wrong."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaotian stroked his beard and smiled: "Haha, there is one thing you must be better than your mother! That is this humble attitude, at least ten times better than her!"
The father and daughter were talking and laughing, and seemed to have forgotten what happened in the hall. But Pan Suxuan was thinking secretly in his heart, Chen Yixin noticed that Niantong was pregnant as soon as they met, so when did Chen Xiaotian find out? Since he also knew that Niantong was a woman disguised as a man, but did not explain it in person, what could be the reason?
