Volume 1 Chapter 37 I was deceived
Under the guidance of the beautiful woman, Jiang Fan came to the door of a wing room on the fourth floor of the Treasure Pavilion. Two burly guards and a middle-aged man stood outside the door.
"The little one has seen the chief manager, this son has urgent matters to see the pavilion master. Childe has a ...... in his hand," the beautiful woman respectfully said to the middle-aged man outside the door.
However, the middle-aged man interrupted the beautiful woman's words indifferently: "The pavilion master is talking to the little prince, don't you know the rules?" ”
Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from the middle-aged man, causing the beautiful woman to involuntarily take a few steps back. 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 already reached the realm of the Spirit Pill Realm, right?" Jiang Fan's heart trembled.
When he fought against Chu Yan who had cultivated to reach the Great Perfection of the Spirit Spring Realm before, it was obvious that the strength of the middle-aged man in front of him had far surpassed Chu Yan. And Jiang Fan's fearless reaction surprised the middle-aged man slightly.
However, the middle-aged man still said coldly: "Don't take it as an example!" Take this boy away. ”
With Jiang Fan's support, the beautiful woman gradually regained her consciousness after being a little confused. She stammered and explained, "Back to the chief manager, this son has a handwritten letter from the eldest lady. ”
Just when the middle-aged man was about to be angry again, the beautiful woman's words actually made him show a touch of excitement.
"What did you say?" The middle-aged man asked incredulously.
The beautiful woman was obviously frightened by the attitude of the middle-aged man, and forgot to answer for a while.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "Senior, Jiang Fan, this is Sister Yumei's handwritten letter, and I also ask my seniors to look at it." After speaking, Jiang Fan handed the letter to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man took the letter handed by Jiang Fan, and when he saw Su Yumei's handwriting on the envelope, he couldn't help but be shocked. Then, he said to Jiang Fan, "You wait here for a while, and I'll go and inform the pavilion master." After speaking, the middle-aged man pushed open the door and walked quickly into the wing.
"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 would not have suffered such a fright.
If he were someone else today, the beautiful woman would definitely not easily bring him to the pavilion master. However, it is precisely because Jiang Fan has the eldest lady's handwritten letter in his hand that the beautiful woman will act like this.
You must know that in the two years that the eldest lady has left the family, she has never sent a letter back, but the pavilion master Su Xiao has always been concerned about her. This opportunity is simply a beautiful difference sent to the door, how could this shrewd beauty miss it?
It's just that the middle-aged man interrupted the beautiful woman just now before she could finish speaking, and this is the scene just now.
At this moment, the beautiful woman took the silver taels handed by Jiang Fan, and finally showed a trace of joy on her face, and said softly: "Childe, you are too polite. ”
In the process of waiting, Jiang Fan did not waste time. Through the beautiful woman's dictation, he initially learned the identity of the middle-aged man just now.
This middle-aged man named Lu Qingchen is the chief manager of the Treasure Pavilion. He has a scar on his face, which is the scar he suffered when he saved 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 Spirit Realm, and his strength is second only to Pavilion Master Su Xiao.
Lu Qingchen has a withdrawn and indifferent personality and is silent. However, because I watched Su Yumei grow up since I was a child, I doted on Su Yumei and always loved her as my daughter.
After a while, the door of the wing room was gently pushed open, and Lu Qingchen politely said to Jiang Fan: "Little brother Jiang Fan, the pavilion master is invited." ”
As for the beautiful woman, after getting the silver taels, she also told Jiang Fan Lu Qingchen's identity, and then left in a hurry. Obviously, this beautiful woman was very jealous of Lu Qingchen, the chief manager of the Treasure Pavilion.
"Thank you, senior!" Jiang Fan saluted Lu Qingchen, and then followed him in.
The scene in front of me is a spacious and bright wing, and the walls are covered with exquisite calligraphy, paintings and embroidery. Those landscape paintings, flower and bird paintings, as well as delicate embroidery works, show the owner's taste for natural landscapes.
"Pavilion master, the people have already been brought." Lu Qingchen walked to the inner door of the wing room and shouted softly to the inner room.
"Okay, let him in." A man's deep voice came from the back room.
At Lu Qingchen's suggestion, Jiang Fan slowly walked towards the inner room.
In the center of the room is a carved mahogany round table, on which delicate tea sets and porcelain are placed, 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 dressed in a simple and neat green coat, and his eyes are deep, revealing an aura of calm and contemplation, as if hiding endless stories and experiences.
This mature and deep middle-aged man, although his face has been sharpened by the years, still exudes elegant and profound charm.
The young man next to him was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, with a flowing coat, and his eyebrows revealed 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, and the young man's eyes looking at Jiang Fan seemed to be 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.
"You are Jiang Fan?"
Just as Jiang Fan was still looking at the two of them, the middle-aged man spoke.
Jiang Fan hurriedly bent down and saluted back: "Senior Jiang Fan, thanks to Sister Yumei's care, today I came to the Treasure Pavilion to ask my seniors for a few spiritual grasses to restore the original god. ”
Before the middle-aged man could continue to speak, the young man on the side took the lead in standing up and asked Jiang Fan with some excitement, "Brother Jiang Fan, right?" Is Yumei okay? ”
The originally somewhat serious atmosphere was instantly broken by this young man.
Facing the young man's excited questioning, Jiang Fan was obviously a little surprised. However, intuition told Jiang Fan that the relationship between the young man in front of him and Su Yumei must be not shallow. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so excited at the moment.
After the middle-aged man coughed dryly, he said lightly: "Let me introduce first, this is the little prince of our Great Xia Kingdom." As for me, it is Su Xiao, the Treasure Pavilion Master you are looking for. ”
Jiang Fan hurriedly replied: "Jiang Fan, a grass man, has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, doesn't know that it is the little prince, and hopes that the little prince will forgive his sins." After speaking, Jiang Fan was about to kneel down and salute.
The little prince hurriedly stepped forward, helped Jiang Fan up, and said with a smile: "Since you are Yu Meizhi's younger brother, then naturally you are also the younger brother of this prince." This prince's name is Nangong Yu, if Brother Jiang Fan doesn't dislike it, he will call me Brother Yu in the future. ”
Jiang Fan was shocked when he heard this, and thought: "I didn't expect Sister Yumei's relationship with this little prince to be so deep, it seems that Sister Yumei didn't seem to tell me the truth at the beginning." ”
Recalling what Su Yumei said earlier, Jiang Fan couldn't help but look in his heart: "This little prince won't be the one who wants to marry Sister Yumei, right?" ”
Although he thought so in his heart, Jiang Fan hurriedly replied: "Back to the little prince, Sister Yumei is all right, but she is a little worried about her family." ”
"That's good! Yumei is doing well, I'm relieved! The little prince Nangong Yu clapped his hands excitedly.
Every time he plays on the spot, Jiang Fan learned from Su Yumei. Faced with a situation like this, of course Jiang Fan had to say something good, otherwise where would the spirit grass that restored the power of the Yuan Shen come from.
Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Fan's words, even Su Xiao showed a hint of a smile, and then said earnestly: "We have all read this letter, you can destroy the Feng family with your own strength, you do have some strength!" ”
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, and thought: "It seems that even if this pavilion master is in Wu'an City, he still knows everything about Ziyang City. ”
Then, Jiang Fan hurriedly explained with a smile: "Senior, you are joking, the junior tried his best to cast the spell taught by the master, and only then did he defeat the Feng family patriarch by luck. ”
In the face of Su Xiao's seemingly casual, but in fact soul-like torture, Jiang Fan was naturally not stupid enough to say that it was all luck to defeat the Feng family.
However, this reason did not seem to satisfy Su Xiao. As soon as Jiang Fan's words fell, Su Xiao stood up, quickly came to Jiang Fan's face, grabbed the latter's wrist and began to look at it.
"Senior, what are you?" Jiang Fan pretended to be surprised.
Don't think about it, the other party is blatantly looking at his strength, Jiang Fan only hopes that the master's affairs will not be known by the other party.
As Su Xiao's slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, the hand holding Jiang Fan's wrist was immediately withdrawn. Then, Su Xiao said with a smile: "I didn't expect Jiang Fan Xiaoyou to be a true spirit body, this kind of cultivation body is rare!" ”
Hearing Su Xiao's words, the stone in Jiang Fan's heart fell. Anyway, the secret on his body was not discovered by the other party.
After sorting out his emotions, Jiang Fan responded with a smile: "Let the seniors laugh." ”
"I really didn't see that Brother Jiang Fan is still a true spirit cultivator who has not been encountered in ten years!" Nangong Yu, the little prince on the side, patted Jiang Fan's shoulder excitedly and said with a smile.
"Back to the little prince, this can only be said to be lucky." Jiang Fan scratched his head in embarrassment and replied.
Jiang Fan is right, about the body of cultivation, it has been determined when everyone is born.
The little prince Nangong Yu said slightly angrily: "Brother Jiang Fan, do you look down on this prince or what?" It's not like just call me Brother Yu, how can you return a little prince in front of a little prince and a little prince after, how rusty does this sound! ”
Jiang Fan was slightly embarrassed after hearing this, and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that this little prince is real." Jiang Fan thought that what the little prince said just now was just a joke he made.
"Haha!" Su Xiao chuckled, and then said earnestly: "Since the little prince has spoken, Jiang Fan Xiaoyou will follow." In the future, Yumei, this girl, will always have to return to the family and marry His Royal Highness the Little Prince, this brother will not lose! ”
Jiang Fan suddenly realized: "It turns out that I was really deceived by Sister Yumei!" ”
In front of him, if Su Yumei didn't know the little prince, he wouldn't believe Jiang Fan if he killed him.
In this way, under Su Xiao's urging, Jiang Fan also recognized this little prince as his eldest brother on the spot.
And Jiang Fan's eldest brother made the little prince Nangong Yu also excited, but Jiang Fan understood that it was all for Su Yumei's sake.
However, the next moment, the little prince Nangong Yu's mood was depressed, and he said softly: "I didn't expect that we have been separated for two years. I knew that I shouldn't have promised her in the first place, and there are three years left, how can I get through it......"
Seeing this, Su Xiao stepped forward and comforted: "Your Royal Highness the Little Prince, at the beginning, Yumei's girl was forced to die, this girl is good at everything, but her temperament is too stubborn, even the old man can't stop her." His Royal Highness the Little Prince, don't be too sad. ”
"Yes, there are still three years, and it will be over in a blink of an eye. If it weren't for Yumei's death, I would never have agreed to her. In the past five years, it is good for her to die on the road of cultivation. When the time comes, she will be able to come back to be my princess with peace of mind. The little prince Nangong Yu responded softly.
Looking at the conversation between the two men in front of him, Jiang Fan almost couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of old blood, it turned out that he had been deceived so thoroughly by Su Yumei.
However, from their conversation, it seems that the agreement is real, but Su Yumei deliberately concealed the fact that she didn't 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.
