Chapter 56: High Generation

  Night wind sweeps across, apricot blossoms fill the trees on both sides of the road, and petals flutter in mid-air.

  On the night market street paved with bluestone, four men and one woman walked together, attracting attention all along the way.

  Wen Renyi and Su Mo were walking ahead, neither too fast nor too slow. Wen Renyi was following closely behind her footsteps, with a hint of elegance between his eyebrows. From afar, they looked like a perfect couple. The surrounding trees were adorned with lanterns, casting long shadows on the ground. Their arms touched unintentionally, and then retreated half an inch, making it seem as if they were holding hands at first glance.

  Wen Ren Yi deliberately slowed down his pace, keeping in sync with Su Mo. Yu Ran stood aside, curling up the corner of her mouth, her ink-jade-like eyes slanting to glance at the two of them.

  Xiaofeng touched his nose again and looked at Mr. Zhou, saying: "You see, no wonder the two young masters always wear a canopy when they go out. Myself and you were originally handsome men, but now standing with Wen Renyi and Yu Ran, it's simply just being a foil! Look, there are no women on the road who take more than a glance at us, just a casual look, do you know what we are? We're just leaves!"

  Mr. Zhou raised his eyes and blinked, his gaze sweeping around him.

  As expected, the girls and women on both sides of the road were staring at Wen Renyi and Yu Ran, their eyes fixed unblinkingly.

  Two gentlemen are standing in front of me, their faces as smooth as jade, their movements as swift as a startled swan and as gentle as a swimming dragon. Of course, this is not the most important thing, what's important is that both men are not wearing outer shirts, only undershirts, so they look very fit.

  Fortunately, this is in Linhai and fortunately it's at night. If it were in the capital of Qi State, I'm afraid you could fill a whole cart with the fruits that would be thrown at me.

  "Look, those women are all looking at you, you really are jinxed by peach blossoms." Yu Ran continued to walk elegantly, pointing with her fan at the several women in front of them, her fingers as white and delicate as carved jade. She glanced at Su Mo, with a hint of meaning.

  "You're wrong, those women are all looking at you, I'm not as good as you." Wen Renyi gave him a glance, still with an icy aura that warned people to keep their distance.

  "Look at me, how is it possible?" Yu Ran held the Bone Fan near her lips and smiled elegantly.

  "What you're wearing is almost the same as what you're not, and everyone's looking at you." Wen Renyi glanced at his undershirt with a very dissatisfied expression.

  "My clothes are made of the same material as yours, are you jealous?" He could still see his beautiful waistline at night.

  "Yu Ran, on your way back, remember to take off her clothes." Wen Ren Yi's gaze shifted sideways, his tone icy.

  "Alright! If you don't mind, I'll carefully take it off for her." Yu Ran's smile was profound and mysterious, with the corners of his lips curled up.

  "You say, I'll do it." Wen Renyi's eyes were deep and solemn.

  Yu Ran immediately gave Su Mo an innocent look and said with a serious tone, "You, don't be fooled by his proper appearance, he's actually not a good person at heart."

  Wen Renyi also looked at him with a cold expression and said lightly: "Mutual, mutual."

  Su Mo finally couldn't help but slightly furrowed his brow, involuntarily supporting his forehead, and felt a bit melancholy that he had encountered bad luck, unaware of when he had gradually become entangled with these two people. Even using this matter to speak, she wasn't worried about clothes and such things, she guessed that the book boy should have understood some special methods that day.

  Wen Ren Yi suddenly turned his eyes and asked in a low voice: "By the way, Miss Yaoji."

  "What's wrong?" Su Mo's eyes sparkled with movement.

  "I asked you, what benefits did you gain from doing things for Jin Yutang besides selling ships?"

  Su Mo narrowed her eyes, "The benefit is that building a ship costs 100,000 taels, excluding labor and materials, it's only 10,000 taels. Moreover, in the future, Su family ships will become more famous." She knew that Jin Yu Tang was the first bridge on her road to rebirth. If she didn't cooperate with Jin Yu Tang, her second and third steps would be difficult to achieve. Without Jin Yu Tang's strength, it would be hard to enter the market, collect various materials, and even harder to become a refiner. Everything is related to Jin Yu Tang, so now she can't burn the bridge after crossing the river.

  Wen Renyi said lightly: "Why don't I compensate him with some silver on your behalf, and you leave the Jinyu Hall immediately." Unconsciously, he had already spoken in a tone of an engaged husband.

  Yu Ran's eyes seemed to have a starry fire in them, and she naturally didn't want to continue. With a "slap" sound, she closed her fan and coldly said: "Wen Renyi, you're just the commander of the Dongling Guard for only a year or so, with only a few thousand taels, not like me, Jin Yutang, who has a considerable income. You're really a poor devil. Now that you have a fiancée, what more do you want? Can't even leave a demon girl for Jin Yutang? Wen Renyi, you're really despicable and shameless. She had made a contract with me in the past, written in black ink on white paper." As she spoke, Yu Ran somehow produced a contract from somewhere.

  Xia Feng immediately exclaimed: "How did you bring the contract of the demon girl with you?"

  Mr. Zhou said: "The young master was originally planning to propose to her tonight, so he naturally brought it with him."

  "I can't see clearly." In the darkness, someone was staring at him with a slanted gaze.

  "Take a closer look?" Yu Ran brought it a bit closer again.

  Time flies, and before they knew it, Wen Renyao had already snatched the contract and torn it to shreds. The contract was now gone, and Yu Ran's face immediately fell. "Wen Renyao, do you want to fight me? I don't mind fighting you again in the middle of the street."

  Wen Renyi gave him a cold glance, his thin lips uttering two words, "Idiot."

  Yu Ran's eyebrows furrowed, then she smiled, "Don't think you've won, this young master has always prepared two copies of the contract, and hers has more backups."

  Wen Ren's eyes were cold and detached, and he spat out two words: "Shameless."

  Only two great beauties stood in the middle of the street, almost rivaling the sun and moon in brilliance, but the atmosphere was tense.

  Yu Ran curled up the corners of her mouth and finally said, "Yun Yi, don't be too pleased with yourself. Whatever I, Yu Ran, have set my sights on, no one else can take away from me, including you."

  "Good, I'm looking forward to it."

  "Take a look." As soon as the words fell, Yu Ran looked at Su Mo again, "Miss Yaoji, Jinyutang and Baihuatang have officially declared war. You go and settle down first, remember to come over early."

  As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up and down several times, and then flew over the eaves and walked on the wall.

  Xia Feng and Mr. Zhou stood behind him, shaking their heads and sighing softly, quickening their pace.

  Su Mo walked slowly behind him, his mouth involuntarily curving into a beautiful arc. "Right, Wen Ren Gongzi, I have something to say to you alone."

  "You can call me Yi from now on." The man's face involuntarily flushed with emotion when he faced her alone.

  "Good." After all, the way an unmarried couple addresses each other is always more intimate than ordinary people.

  "What's that? Does the young lady have something to say?"

  "Yi Gongzi, for now I can only be your fiancée in the identity of a demon maiden, this status is probably not worthy of you." Su Mo said seriously.

  "It doesn't matter." Wen Renyi said calmly.

  "But there's still one more thing that's slightly troublesome." Su Mo raised her phoenix eyes and looked at him.

  "What's wrong?" Wen Renyi was taken aback for a moment, and didn't expect that she seemed to have some concerns.

  Su Mo raised her eyes to look at him, "Yi Gongzi don't forget that I used to be the demon girl of Qi Guo. When I first entered Qi Guo, I disguised myself as the concubine of the third prince and was later taken to Evil Island. Although I kept a low profile, there are still a few people in the Qi Guo royal family who have seen me before. By the way, what is your relationship with the third prince? Will this matter be a bit troublesome?"

  When Wen Renyu heard this, he was taken aback. He had been thinking about proposing with all his heart, but forgot the matter at hand. Truly, even the wisest of men can make mistakes.

  He said with some difficulty: "That... actually, my identity is very complicated. After all, there are always some messy things in the imperial family. My mother was originally the concubine of the previous emperor, but later she was favored by the current emperor and forced to ascend to the throne, taking away my mother's position. At that time, my mother was already three months pregnant." As he spoke, his face darkened.

  Su Mo was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood that this was a scandal of the imperial family, as well as a secret of the imperial family.

  "So you don't want to go back, right?" she asked.

  "Hmm, I appear to be the son of the current emperor on the surface, but in reality, I am actually the son of the previous emperor. Not many people within the imperial family know about this."

  Su Mo was taken aback, it turned out that he and the Emperor of Qi were actually brothers, but people thought they were father and son.

  "She took a deep breath and said: 'You are the imperial uncle of the Third Prince?'"

  Wen Renyi nodded, indeed a very high generation.

  Digression

  I also have some hard-to-say things about V, ⊙﹏⊙‖∣

  The backend didn't notify me, so I actively sought out the editor several times and finally caught up with the busy editor. The result was that the editor, covered in sweat, awkwardly laughed and said they had forgotten to give me advance notice. Recently, things have been too busy for her, and this week it's impossible to arrange an interview, so she can only schedule it for next Tuesday or Wednesday. In the end, Huanhuan and the editor cried out: "We're not deceiving you, really we're not."

  Here is the translation:

  "Give everyone a brick, go ahead and hit me. That terrible day just happens to be the day when my blood flows like a river, in order to meet the 20,000-word deadline... um, I really don't know if this number can still be reached, it's so hard! Covering my face, finally saying that I'm not deceiving anyone."

  That gift thank you list tomorrow together send, :>
