The Castle Lord's Mansion.

Banquet Hall.

"It's been three days, may I ask you, do you want to treat the city lord's illness or not, please give me a quasi-letter line? The old man's time is very precious!" said a middle-aged man with a thin chin and a three-fold beard.

Although he said a word in his mouth, everyone could hear the impatience in it.

He is the fifth-order pharmacist sent by the Qin State Mansion - Shenhou Zhi.

Shen Houzhi was very reluctant to make a trip to the border desert city, if it weren't for the repeated persuasion of the young master Shangyan and the opening of a few conditions that made him excited, he would not be too lazy to run to such a remote small place as the border desert city!

However, although he was rejected very simply, Shen Houzhi understood very well, after all, with the reputation of Young Master Shangyan in the empire, it was strange that people were willing to agree readily.

However, understanding is understanding, but that little girl is so faceless, Shen Houzhi is also angry, and he personally came to mention this matter in his honorable capacity, in his opinion, it is already a big face for the An family, if it weren't for the fact that the rest of the An family has been very respectful and thoughtful to him, he would have thrown his hands and left, and went back to arrange a few random sentences in front of the young master Shangyan, it was very easy.

In the hall, except for An Yixiao, the sick head of the family, all other important members of the An clan were listed.

Hearing Shen Houzhi's impatient tone, An Fenghuo, who was sitting on his right, said with a smile: "Shen Yaoshi, please calm your anger, of course the family master's illness must be treated, but the old nephew's grandniece is too surnamed, and she left a letter three days ago and quietly went to the Demon Beast Forest, this ...... The people didn't come back, and we didn't have the face to ask Pharmacist Shen to make a move.

But please rest assured, after the old man found out about this, he immediately sent someone to the Demon Beast Forest to find the whereabouts of my niece, and when he brought the person back, he asked Pharmacist Shen to help save our family master as soon as possible, and it won't delay you too much!"

An Fenghuo, the same generation as An Yixiao, is the first master of the side branch of the An clan, although his cultivation is not as good as An Yixiao, but he has also reached the point of the middle level of the fourth-level martial sect, and he is the highest and most vocal figure in the cultivation of the An clan in addition to An Yixiao. Before An Yixiao did not fall ill, An Fenghuo was very low-key in the An family, because An Yixiao was far superior to him in terms of cultivation and strategy, not to mention that An Yixiao was born from his lineage, and he was a sideline. Originally, if An Yixiao hadn't suddenly fallen ill and didn't know who was going to work, An Fenghuo might have spent the rest of his life in the An family like this.

But things in the world are so unpredictable, everyone has ambition, but some people cover it up well, and some people don't even find out about it...... However, if the opportunity to ascend to the sky is in front of him, how many people will be able to get rid of this temptation? An Fenghuo thinks that he can't, because his mind is already alive now.

"What?" Shen Houzhi's face changed, and the eyes of the tax profit swept over the people of the An family, at this moment, no one dared to look at him, and those who were stared at by his eyes involuntarily lowered their heads. Shen Houzhi's eyes swept around, and finally turned back to stare at An Fenghuo, who was smiling, and said lightly: "There is such a big thing, why didn't you tell the old man earlier?"

An Fenghuo smiled, but he sneered in his heart, a guy who fights people, if you don't have the support of the Duke of Qin behind you, the old man can pinch you to death casually. Thinking like this in his heart, he looked ashamed on his face, and said: "Pharmacist Shen, please calm your anger, it's not that we deliberately hide it, we really don't want to publicize the ugliness of the family, if you want to blame me, you can blame me for having no way to discipline the family, and please wait a while, the old man has already arranged the best manpower three days ago, and I believe that there will be news back soon." ”

An Sanyang, the acting head of the family, bowed his head and was silent, not knowing what he was thinking, while his two younger brothers, An Zhengfei and An Hongyi, exchanged glances from time to time, not knowing what they were thinking. As for the other elders of the family, they all seemed to have their own thoughts, and they all listened silently to the conversation between An Fenghuo and Shen Houzhi.

"Hmph...... Don't want to publicize the ugliness of your family?" Shen Houzhi said coldly: "If it weren't for our young master Shangyan who took a fancy to Miss Ruoni, the old man would not be too lazy to come to such a small place, the old man will give you another day, at this time tomorrow, if the old man still can't get the letter, then the old man will leave with his hand, and what kind of consequences will be caused by this, it is not for the old man to be in charge." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the An family changed, threatening, this is the threat of Chiguoguo, although everyone is not angry in their hearts, but the situation is stronger than people, with the power of the Qin State Mansion in the empire, it is true that they can not be put in their eyes.

"One day at a time, pharmacist senior, at this time tomorrow, our An family will give you an ...... to explain," An Sanyang, who had been silent, suddenly said.

"Well, that's the best!" Shen Houzhi knew that An Sanyang was An Ruoni's father, although the matter between the young master and An Ruoni was still unknown, but he had to give some face.

Just when everyone was still pondering the meaning of An Sanyang's words, they suddenly heard a piece of news that made most people feel excited-An Ruoni is back!

An Fenghuo was suddenly in his heart, and his eyes swept towards the An children who came in to report, and asked, "How did Xiao Ni come back? Did the people we sent out pick it up?"

The An disciple who came in to report was swept away by An Fenghuo's tax eyes, trembled, and stammered back: "Go back...... Back to the words of the great elder, if ...... Miss Joni is ...... It's a horse...... Carriage back to ...... I'm back!"

Seeing that he was stammering, An Fenghuo also realized that he was a little out of shape, and concealed his gaze, then turned to Shen Houzhi, and said respectfully: "Pharmacist Shen, please wait for a while, Lao Yu will go to meet Xiao Ni first, and see if he can reverse some of her concepts, do you think?"

Shen Houzhi thought that it would be better to do this, so as not to have to waste more of his tongue, so he nodded and said: "This is very good, the old man is waiting for good news here." ”

An Zhengfei and An Hongyi also wanted to do the ideological work of their eldest niece, but seeing that the great elder was willing to go out in person, they didn't want to make up for that fun, it was better to stay here to accompany Shen Houzhi, and as soon as they were happy, they would reward them with a few pills, and they would make a lot of money.

An Sanyang, the acting head of the family, opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

......

When An Fenghuo saw his niece and granddaughter An Ruoni, he found that she was warmly entertaining a young man with clear eyebrows, the two talked and laughed, and An Ruoni did not let the maid help in the work of serving tea and water, but did it herself, which made An Fenghuo surprised.

"Hey, Grandpa Feng, when did you come in?" asked An Ruoni in surprise as she stood up.

Ouyang Wannian sat there with a smile on his face, slowly tasting the tea that seemed useless to him.

"Well, when I heard the news that you came back, I rushed to see you, why did you sneak to the Demon Beast Forest like this, don't you know the danger there? Even if it is for your grandfather's illness, you have to do what you can, fortunately now that you are back safely, next time you are not allowed to have such a surname, do you know?" An Fenghuo had a loving expression on his face, but he muttered in his heart how this girl came back from such a dangerous place in the Demon Beast Forest, could it be that Uncle Guan's old servant?

An Ruoni naturally didn't know that Grandpa Feng was no longer the Grandpa Feng of the past, but when Grandpa Feng was caring about her, she said embarrassedly: "Grandpa Feng, this time I was impulsive, I didn't think it through, I won't do it again next time, but Xiao Ni didn't run in vain this time, otherwise I wouldn't know Ouyang Gongzi." Grandpa Feng, let me introduce to you, this is Xiao Ni's life-saving benefactor Ouyang Gongzi, if it weren't for Ouyang Gongzi, Xiao Ni and Uncle Guan would have been buried in the belly of those demon wolves in the Demon Beast Forest. Ouyang Gongzi, this is my Grandpa Feng, and he is now the closest relative in the City Lord's Mansion besides Grandpa, you can get to know me. ”

An Fenghuo frowned slightly when he heard An Ruoni's introduction, when he just came in, he noticed Ouyang Wannian, but when he investigated, he didn't find that this young man with clear eyebrows had signs of cultivation, except for his demeanor and temperament, he was just an ordinary mortal, how could an ordinary mortal appear in such a dangerous place as the Demon Beast Forest, and he could also save his niece's life? Of course, there is another possibility, that is, this little boy's cultivation is already so high that he can't see it, but this idea was extinguished by him before it came out, you must know that he is now a fourth-level martial arts sect intermediate level cultivator, to say that the cultivation of this thirteen or fourteen-year-old kid in front of him is even higher than him, then how is it possible?
