"What about those three clay figures?"
"This is Zhang Fei, that's Yue Fei, and this is Wang Fei..."
Who is Wang Fei?
"I don't know who Wang Fei is either. Brother Chen Yan said she seems to be a singer."
"Oh, so she's a songstress..."
Zhang Sanfeng suddenly realized.
Just then, a man and a woman rode along the official road by the riverbank.
The man was in his early twenties, of medium height, with a refined appearance and a mature and gentle demeanor.
The woman was around twenty years old, with a delicate and pretty appearance, gentle and modest...
"Young Master Shuang, thank you for agreeing to bring me to Qixia Town to find Master Chen."
The woman glanced at the man beside her, her tone full of gratitude.
The man smiled and said, "Kong Ci, we grew up together. In my heart, you are my sister. I will naturally help you with your small request."
The man and woman were Qin Shuang, the eldest disciple of Xiong Ba, the leader of the Great Han World Society, and Kong Ci, the maid who had served Qin Shuang, Bu Jingyun, and Nie Feng since childhood.
Previously, Qin Shuang had to go down the mountain to handle some gang affairs. Kong Ci, who had been very quiet and had not made any requests, suddenly asked Qin Shuang to take her to Qixia Town.
This request was easy for Qin Shuang, and she readily agreed.
After dealing with gang affairs, he rode with Kong Ci to Qixia Town.
"Is this Qixia Town just ahead?"
Kong Ci pointed to the town ahead and cheered with joy.
Qin Shuang was a little unsure, as this was his first time visiting this place.
Looking around, he spotted an elderly man and two children playing in the mud by the river and asked loudly, "Welcome, sir/madam."
When Zhang Sanfeng heard someone calling him, he turned around and saw Qin Shuang and Kong Ci riding on horseback.
Qin Shuang clasped her hands in greeting and asked, "Excuse me, sir, is this Qixia Town ahead?"
Zhang Sanfeng politely returned the greeting with a cupped-hand salute: "Yes, that is Qixia Town."
Kong Ci's eyes lit up, and she said with delight, "Old man, does Master Chen live in town?"
Knowing that Chen Yan had another business opportunity, Zhang Sanfeng smiled and nodded again.
"Thank you, sir."
Kong Ci expressed her gratitude and thanks.
Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand dismissively.
Qin Shuang and Kong Ci knew their destination was just ahead, and they were in high spirits. They whipped their horses and soon entered the town.
Within the town, Qin Shuang discovered that there were many martial arts practitioners.
But all these martial arts practitioners were very friendly; none of them fought or caused trouble. He knew that this was all thanks to Master Chen's presence here.
"To safeguard the peace of a region with one's own strength—that is the dignity that a strong person should possess..."
Qin Shuang sighed.
He subconsciously compared Master Chen to his own master, Xiong Ba.
Finally, he shook his head, feeling that the two sides were not comparable.
One is a martial arts master, the other is a reclusive sage.
In terms of both influence and overall scale, Master Xiong Ba seems to be a notch below...
Before long, he and Kong Ci stood at the entrance of the fortune-telling shop.
Look inside.
The fortune-telling shop was furnished very simply, with only a few chairs, a table, and a recliner.
at this time.
A young man dressed in a gray-white long gown was sitting in a recliner, leisurely sipping tea.
Qin Shuang and Kong Ci's expressions lit up when they saw the lazy young man.
Kong Ci opened his mouth, mustered his courage several times, but couldn't bring himself to utter a sound.
Qin Shuang knew that she rarely left the World Society and lacked experience in communicating with outsiders. Now, facing the renowned Immortal Master Chen, she naturally had even less courage to speak.
He stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Master Chen, we apologize for disturbing you. My sister and I would like to ask you a question. Is it convenient for you?"
Chen Yan had noticed them standing at the door long ago and guessed their identities.
He sat up straight and said with a smile, "When guests come, I have to make sure it's convenient for me, even if it's inconvenient for me."
Kong Ci chuckled.
She never expected that the renowned Master Chen would be such a kind person.
The tension in my heart also dissipated by most.
After bowing slightly to Chen Yan, he took out a silver ingot and placed it on the table.
They then went to the wooden box to extract the conditions.
She was also lucky; she drew a blank sheet of paper as well.
"What does Miss Kong Ci want to ask?"
Chen Yan smiled slightly and asked.
"You know me?"
Kong Ci was stunned for a moment, then blushed slightly.
Master Chen is omniscient, so it's quite normal that he knows that I am Kong Ci.
Taking a deep breath and calming herself down, she said softly, "Master Chen, the leader of the Xiong Ba Gang took me in as his goddaughter before, and even said that he would marry me off to one of the three hall masters."
"I...I would like to ask, who will he marry me off to?"
It seemed as if Kong Ci had used up all the strength in his body to say these words.
She has always been submissive and never fought for anything for herself.
This time was no exception; she didn't try to change anything, she just wanted to know the outcome in advance.
Which of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun will Xiong Ba, the godfather, ultimately marry her to...?
Ok.
Yes.
In her mind, Qin Shuang had already been automatically excluded.
Because she knew that Bu Jingyun liked her, while she liked Nie Feng.
He only had brotherly and sisterly feelings for Qin Shuang, and never even considered romantic relationships with her.
She subconsciously believed that since Xiong Ba had taken her in as his goddaughter, he couldn't possibly be unaware of all this, so he wouldn't betroth her to Qin Shuang.
Qin Shuang's body trembled slightly.
A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
He was fully aware of Kong Ci's thoughts.
Is it a sibling relationship?
Ah……
Kong Ci, you only know that Bu Jingyun likes you, but you don't know that I have also secretly loved you for many years.
The reason I didn't reveal it was because I didn't want to affect the relationship between us.
Chen Yan glanced at Kong Ci, then at Qin Shuang, and his signature wicked smile reappeared on his face.
I thought to myself, even if I can't make a fortune today, I can still make a small profit without any pressure.
He cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Xiong Ba will betroth you to his eldest disciple, Qin Shuang."
"what!"
Kong Ci trembled, his face showing extreme shock and disbelief.
With a trembling voice, she asked, "Master Chen, you...you mean my godfather will betroth me to Young Master Shuang?!"
"Yes."
Chen Yan nodded.
Instantly, Kong Ci's face turned deathly pale, her mind collapsed, and she provided Chen Yan with one thousand collapse points.
There's only one answer she ever wants!
That was Nie Feng, whom she had always deeply loved...
Qin Shuang was overjoyed.
