Hearing the young man's self-report, Yun Xuelan and Rin Tan glanced at each other. The latter's tense shoulders soothed slightly.

"It turns out that this prince has been watching out for me, and I thought he was guarding against this guest officer in white. The young man said to himself, and Rin Tan didn't feel any embarrassment because the boy bluntly said that he had not been friendly and vigilant before. The middle-aged shopkeeper standing at the door of the kitchen put his index finger against his forehead, and said with a helpless expression, "Shinji".

Looking at the white-robed young man surnamed Liu, he looked down at the cup of tea in front of him, but he was not the slightest annoyed by the young man's rude behavior, but smirked at the tea cup as if he was being treated as a guest.

"A good trick is full of deception, and it is better to see it after hearing it for a long time. Yun Xuelan said lightly: "It's just that this set of techniques is only passed on to the descendants of the Fan family. As far as I know, there is no one named Fan Jing in the Fan family's generation, and I have heard of the descendants of the same age as you, and you are not a disguised identity of any of the children. ”

When the young man heard this, he looked up at Yun Xuelan with a radiant expression, and the heat and excitement in his eyes flashed alternately, "You actually know that I am from the Fan family?"

Yun Xuelan and the middle-aged shopkeeper leaning against the kitchen door frame lowered their heads at the same time, pressed their fingers against their temples, and felt that their brains were rising, and they felt that the young man in front of them should be called Fan Jingjing.

Seeing the other party's expression, the young man scratched his head a little shyly, just looking at the teacup in front of the white-robed young warrior, and it was slightly dim.

Tea is full of deception, which is a common taboo when entertaining guests. As a wealthy businessman, the Fan family has always had to negotiate with various forces. Sometimes you have to deal with multiple forces at the same time. Because the conversation may involve the fundamental and even core interests of other sect families, its complex entanglements are inconvenient for third parties to know. However, during the multi-party talks, if the two parties leave the table or ask the other parties whose strength is also not to be underestimated, it is indeed a loss of the courtesy of the businessmen to make money together. Therefore, there was once an ancestor of the Fan family who combined water magic with illusion to study a set of techniques that could isolate heaven and earth. A full cup of tea can be used to lead the people present to isolate themselves into different small worlds, so as to prevent the leakage of the conversation, and also avoid the rudeness and embarrassment of inviting the guests to leave the table temporarily. It's just that this technique will only be taught to the descendants of the Fan family.

The young man played with the empty teacup in his hand and bowed his head silently, his expression as silent as the fading twilight, and the mist in his eyes was clouded with memories sealed in the bottom of the young man's heart.

The head of the contemporary Fan family is not a descendant. The wife of the head of the Fan family of the previous generation who drove the crane to the west only had one son, and she was also the leader of the younger generation in the world. The eldest son named Fan Junyao grew up with Fan Junshun, the brother of the concubine. Although the two are equal in terms of cultivation talent and business intelligence, because of their deep brotherhood, Fan Junshun never thought of winning the heirship and competing for his brother's position as the future head of the family, but was bent on assisting his brother in running the foundation of the Fan family when his father returned to heaven in the future.

After Fan Junyao got married, he had two sons, and the age difference between the two was three years. It's just that when Fan Junyao's wife was pregnant with her second son, the brothers Fan Junyao and Fan Junshun retreated at the same time to break through the bottleneck of the iQue Realm. At the critical moment of the breakthrough, his younger brother Fan Junshun suddenly went crazy. On the verge of life and death, Fan Junyao, who was in retreat next door and was about to be completed, found out that the qi from his brother's retreat was irritable and irritable. Feeling that his brother's life was hanging by a thread, Fan Junyao forcibly interrupted his breakthrough without thinking, and broke the ban on his brother's retreat to protect his brother's Dharma. It took a whole day and a night to calm down Fan Junshun's restless vitality because of the madness and turned the danger into a disaster.

However, because Fan Junshun's vitality was too noisy when he went mad, Fan Junyao's vitality was consumed to calm his injuries. And when he was healing his younger brother's luck, the latter was unable to control the Yuan Qi because of his delirium, which caused Fan Junyao's body and soul to be severely damaged when the Yuan Qi was running. In addition, when Fan Junyao broke into the door to save his younger brother, he forcibly interrupted the key opportunity for a breakthrough, which had already caused injuries. He also suffered a backlash when he broke the ban on Fan Junshun's cultivation room, and the superposition of the three injuries caused Fan Junyao to be sick in less than ten years.

It stands to reason that in the world of martial artists, it is not uncommon for white-haired people to send black-haired people, especially in the Fan family, which has a long heritage, and it is even more indifferent to human feelings. But the old family owner Fan, who was old at that time, was very fond of his son, because he couldn't bear the pain of losing his son in his later years, although he was not depressed in frustration, he was also the bottleneck of closing the death pass to impact the Xuanwu realm. Before the retreat, he passed on the head of the Fan family to his second son, Fan Junshun. Later, the world gradually forgot the life and death of the old master of Fan and the old things of Fan Junyao. As the contemporary head of the Fan family, Fan Junshun has made the reputation and prestige of the Fan family more and more prominent in the rivers and lakes.

It seems that even Tiandao is jealous of the wealth of the head of the Fan family, Fan Junshun's wife died early due to illness before giving birth to an heir, and Fan Junshun's concubine gave birth to a son for the family.

But the son of the concubine has mediocre cultivation talents, and his talent in business is not outstanding, and he can be regarded as dull among the young children of the Fan family's generation, so Fan Junshun does not like his own flesh and blood. Perhaps out of gratitude and guilt for his deceased brother's desperate life to save him, Fan Junshun loved his two nephews very much. In addition, the two sons are not inferior to their fathers in terms of martial arts talent or business skills, which made Fan Junshun plan to pass on the position of the head of the family to one of the two nephews in the future, and also carefully cultivate the two little ones according to the standards of the next heir of the Fan family.

In fact, not only the Fan family, but other wealthy families with a long tradition have the rule of passing on the position of the head of the family to the descendants of the lineage. It's just that the descendants mentioned here are not simply the eldest son inheriting the position of the head of the family. However, if there are young descendants who are amazingly talented among the descendants or collateral children, if their talents far exceed those of other children in the same generation, the family will also pass these children into the descendants of the family and write them into the lineage of the ancestral hall of the family, so as to take over the family in the future. Therefore, like Fan Junshun, it is very common for him to deliberately train his two nephews to become the future talkers of the Fan family, and it also has the support of the vast majority of people in the family.

But where there are people, strife is never avoided. Most of the strife stems from the jealousy and greed of the human heart, and from the endless desire of gluttony.

Seeing that his son was snubbed by his biological father, and that Fan Xu, who was still young, compared with his two cousins, had mediocre qualifications both in cultivation and business, and was not treated well by those in power in the family. Fan Xu's biological father directly mentioned at the Fan family's clan assembly that the next head of the Fan family is one of his two nephews. Fan Xu's biological mother thought of her son and the wealth of the Fan family, the hereditary prince and the lord of the Great Pillar Kingdom, and the authority that the entire Great Xia would tremble with if she stomped her feet, and the lord of the power who had to weigh the royal family of the Great Xia clan for a while, and couldn't help but feel jealous. Therefore, the woman always took advantage of Fan Junshun's travels to find ways to make things difficult, and even tried to harm the two stumbling blocks for her son to become the head of the Fan family.

It's just that due to the influence of the two teenagers in the family and the matching protection methods, Fan Xu's biological mother has never found a good opportunity to get what she wants.

In addition, although each shot seems to be seamless and does not leave the slightest trace, Fan Junyao's pair of widows know it. The various obstacles and twists and turns that he has suffered repeatedly, and even the thrilling assassinations, are the work of his aunt, who is narrow-minded than the money holes on copper coins. Although the two sons are young, the children who grew up in a high-walled compound like the Fan family are far more mature than people of the same age. At first, the two brothers were just to protect themselves, but the successive patience and concessions made Fan Xu's mother and son even worse, so the two planned to take the initiative to prevent future troubles.

However, the mother of the two brothers seemed to have an epiphany after her husband's death, and changed the courtyard where she used to live into a nunnery, and invited several female nuns who had cultivated together in Buddhism to be highly accomplished in the hall to make offerings.

When Mrs. Fan, who was devout to the Buddha, learned that her two sons were deliberately dealing with her aunt and cousin, she reprimanded her two sons, who were not yet thirteen years old. moved to use the deep brotherhood between their late father and Fan Junshun, and the Buddhist principle of good and evil karma, to persuade and appease the son who had evil thoughts.

Speaking of this, Fan Jing sighed softly, and the look of reminiscence, remorse, self-blame and hatred on his face distorted into the young man's gloomy and somewhat hideous face at the moment. Speaking of his mother, the empty teacup in the young man's hand shattered into a hand of porcelain powder with a "snap", and the powder fell on the table and the ground, like a heavy snow for the city of flowers, which rarely sees wind and snow all year round. It's just that this snow only falls in this small world of this small inn. The chill that followed with this heavy snow only pierced Fan Jing's heart, lungs and bones.

Yun Xuelan and the shopkeeper's sighs broke the strange silence of the snow queen at the same time. The middle-aged shopkeeper stepped on the white powder on the ground and placed the wine and food on the table. The meal was more sumptuous than Yun Xuelan and Rin Tan imagined, a plate of braised duck tongue, a steamed fish, a plate of bamboo shoots and bacon, a pot of mountain mushroom soup and two pots of scalded Baihua wine, and when the two entered the city, they learned that this wine was a specialty of Baihua Town. It's just that although the food and drinks are delicious, they are no longer tempting.

Yun Xuelan stretched out her right hand and gently patted the young man's shoulder. What the young man said before was also recorded in the Mansion of Yunyin Villa, but the spy of Yunyin Villa sent it back to the villa back then, but Fan Junyao went mad and died violently when he broke through the iQue realm. Before the mourning period expired, the head of the Fan family returned to the west, and the imperial court canonized the new head of the family, Fan Junshun, as the great pillar of the country, inheriting the hereditary replacement of the Fan family. The whereabouts of Fan Junyao's widow have not been known since then. No matter how many details there are, even Yunyin Mountain Villa is unknown.

Yun Xuelan is not surprised by this, the news of his father's serious injury and disappearance is still impenetrable. If the top family forces like the Yun family and the Fan family really want to hide something, let alone outsiders, I am afraid that even the people in their own palace may not be able to know about it. And the information about this matter that Yunyin Villa learned back then must have been deliberately released by the Fan family to let the outside world know.

Yun Xuelan knew that Fan Jing's story had just begun, perhaps talking about his mother touching a certain sad and soft part of the young man's heart, and even Yun Xuelan could conclude that the cause of the young man's mother's death was definitely not the death of the former as he said. Maybe it's related to the two young brothers, but it's inconvenient to ask when it comes to the young man's scales.

Yun Xuelan also knew the true identity of the young man, no wonder he had never heard of a person named Fan Jing among the descendants of the Fan family, because the owner of the shoulders that trembled slightly under his arm also used a pseudonym.

Because in the newspaper about the Fan family that he had read, Fan Yan and his younger brother of the same mother in the Fan family had already been written as missing, and Liu Yunwei's people annotated that the two were killed and died early, and Fan Yan was only three years old at the time, and his brother didn't even have a name. Therefore, Yun Xuelan did not associate the peers in front of her with the two brothers in the bottom newspaper.

Feeling that the young man's hesitation had calmed down, Yun Xuelan comforted: "Although I don't know why Ling Tang died of illness, I haven't even seen my mother's face, and the past I can tell about her is also the past about her that my family told me." ”

The young man raised his head and looked at Yun Xuelan, his eyes a little dazed. The latter shook his head. "I'm not trying to say how miserable I am than you, how lucky you are than me. Anyone who fails to fulfill his filial piety in front of his parents, fails to grow up accompanied by his parents, fails to feel the joy of watching the rain under one roof of the family, and eats dumplings neatly and neatly during the New Year, is one of the biggest misfortunes in life. There is nothing trivial about this misfortune. Seeing the young Fan Jing's still somewhat puzzled gaze, the middle-aged man with a sickly face continued: "It's just because you miss your mother, and I'm the same." One person's thoughts may empty his whole body's strength, and the thoughts of two people may be able to transmit some strength to each other. ”

As soon as Yun Xuelan's words fell, the black-clothed young man sitting opposite had some difficulty putting his hand on the shoulder of the young man who was the same age as Fan Jing across the table.

The middle-aged shopkeeper looked at Yun Xuelan with a complicated gaze, "Take the liberty of it, who is Your Excellency?"

Yun Xuelan regained her previous demeanor, "The shopkeeper has seen this friend of mine make a move, didn't he ask knowingly?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper shook his head a little embarrassedly, "We have been here for many years, and we have long been without the support of the Fan family's intelligence. Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, and I have not heard of the two of them in the rivers and lakes. ”

Yun Xuelan suddenly heard this, and said with a smile: "It's okay, eat first." If you really want to do business with Brother Fan, you will naturally not deceive our identity. ”

The young man seemed to want to sweep away the gloom in his heart with wine, so he picked up a pot of wine and was about to pour it into his mouth, but was stopped by Yun Xuelan reaching out. "I haven't done business yet, we're guests, pour wine for the master first, your guy is so unruly, don't you take care of the shopkeeper?"

"Little cub, sweep this ground for me. ”

The black-clothed Rin Tan glanced at the young man surnamed Liu, who was still in the tea house, and said unprecedentedly, "There are too many dirty things in your shop, so please take care of them together." ”

Laughter and scolding are intertwined.
