Chapter 50: Sword Drawn and Bowstring Taut

  On the boat, a Taoist priest with a red glow on his face stood on the deck, with an unfathomable expression.

  Standing beside him were three handsome young men, Yu Ran, Mr. Zhou and Xia Feng.

  Mr. Zhou fanned himself with a feather fan and smiled lightly, "I never thought that Ming Jing Daozhang would actually come, what a rare guest indeed."

  The old man nodded slightly and said, "The infinite heavenly lord, no matter what, always ascends to the three treasures hall. I've watched Yu Shizi and Wen Ren grow up, this time I was called by their family's patriarch, all hoping to find a suitable woman for them to marry and have children. This is an important matter, I am duty-bound."

  "Really?" Yu Ran smiled faintly, he never thought that he would run into this old Daoist just as he was about to leave.

  It's really man-made plans can't compare to heaven's arrangements, Yu Ran's face still smiled very elegantly, but thinking of that woman, her heart was like a thousand cats scratching wildly.

  Mr. Zhou knew that Yu Ran really wanted to slap the old man's face, which was full of red light. This old Taoist could talk about "Tao Te Ching" for three days and three nights without sleeping or resting, and it was indeed endless to the extreme.

  "It is said that there are three unfilial acts, and having no descendants is the worst...". Ming Jing Dao Chang had been sitting upright with his eyes closed for half an hour, his spirit was sharp and he didn't feel tired at all.

  Yu Ran's face, however, grew increasingly somber and disdainful. He couldn't help but let out a yawn, feeling that this old Daoist was somewhat too senior and had too much skill, and was truly not someone he could handle.

  After the other person had been talking incessantly for a long time, he paused slightly, began to sip his tea, and Yu Ran finally let out a slight sigh of relief. His demeanor was elegant and refined, with eyes shining brightly like stars, and his slender fingers stroking his clothes as he smiled even more charmingly. "Master Dao, please sit down first, I still have something urgent to attend to."

  Yu Shizi is indeed impatient, always making a big deal out of everything. Even brewing tea and chatting with old friends is a major event in life." The old Daoist looked at him, his body exuding an aura of intimidation.

  "Get out." Yu Ran slapped the table with her fan, furious, and wished she could throw him out.

  A gentle breeze stirs, the moonlight is enchanting, and I hear the warmth of lips touching, savoring the indescribable aftertaste.

  Delicious at the same time, with a lingering aftertaste of sweetness and fragrance on the lips.

  His hands held Su Mo tightly, as if he was holding the most precious porcelain, and hugged her tightly.

  After a while, he suddenly realized what he was here for, and his body gradually relaxed, slowly closing his eyes, forcing himself to calm down. Fortunately, he had taken a Clear Mind Pill when he came, which was now taking effect. He knew that this woman was not someone whose heart could be easily captured, let alone that he still had some pressing matters at hand. If he were to provoke her, he feared it would all be for naught.

  He opened his eyes again, relaxed his arms, and tried to keep a distance from her. The girl's beauty, the girl's charm, the girl's mysterious mechanical skills, the sweet breath when she kissed him, the girl's snow-white skin... all of these were worth his deep thoughts.

  Of course, this dress is really too beautiful, although it's covering up, but it's vaguely visible, making him unable to help but have wild thoughts and his mind wandering.

  What kind of person created this outfit? It actually gave him a perverted feeling.

  He was not a man who indulged in beauty, but at this moment he had the feeling that if he could marry her as his wife, he would be grateful to see her every morning and evening.

  Of course, this is not that sincerity. I've heard that people's hearts are not to be underestimated, as cold as he is, yet he can become so disorganized in his thoughts.

  The two slowly got up, and Ren Yixue's icy face suddenly flushed with a hint of red.

  "Sorry...... I lost control for a moment......" He raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, turned his eyes away, and avoided eye contact with her.

  He's shy. It has to be said that when a handsome and elegant man shows a shy expression, it is also extremely charming.

  Su Mo stood up, her eyebrows and eyes were like frost, the corners of her mouth still had a faint scent of mint from the man's body, and she couldn't help but glare at him.

  Just now when she was hugging him, her body didn't have any rejection at all, and even yearned for more intimacy, which is strange.

  So she immediately cleared her throat softly, breaking the awkward and strange atmosphere. After all, she had someone she liked, how could she be like that? She didn't want to be a woman who fell in love with whoever she saw.

  Wen Ren Yi immediately stood up, adjusted his clothes, and once again put on a perfect gentlemanly demeanor. He straightened up and said: "Miss Su, I'll step out for a moment."

  The candle flame flickered slightly, Su Mo slowly swept a glance at him, but hesitated for a moment before calling out to him: "Wait... Lord Wen Ren."

  "What's wrong?" He paused for a moment under his feet, and his eyes didn't look at her.

  "This set of clothes on me seems to be a bit suspicious, but it's something I can't take off myself. Do you have any way?" Su Mo pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes like jade.

  At this moment, she didn't want to go out wearing such clothes, let alone have Yu Ran "lend a helping hand" to her.

  So she had no choice but to thicken her skin and pretend nothing was wrong as she asked for help.

  Upon hearing this, Wen Ren turned around, slightly raised an eyebrow, his sword-like eyebrows were clear and bright, his eyes were extremely sincere. "Although I'm not quite sure what's going on, but I can try to help you." His gaze carefully looked at her clothes, but found no place to start, yet in his eyes, he saw a lot of vague and beautiful scenery, his gaze became even more profound.

  ……

  Mingjing Road stretched out and took another sip of tea, still talking incessantly: "Yú Rǎn, do you know that recently risen Hundred Flowers Hall?"

  "I know." Yu Ran's face was expressionless as he muttered.

  "That Ba Hua Tang is specifically targeting your Jin Yu Tang, it's the backing of your family elders, they've spent a lot of money to invite the best performers from all over, and even built a movable stage, said to be built by the masters of the Mechanical City. Compared to you, the poetry and songs are written by famous poets from all over, all the people and props are top-notch. Can your single wisdom surpass the collective wisdom of so many people? In short, they think you've been too smooth sailing, need to experience some setbacks, only when your Jin Yu Tang falls will you obediently go back and accept the marriage proposal."

  "Hmph." Yu Ran couldn't help but smile lightly and say, "For this, they really are generous."

  "In short, Kim Yoo-tang is absolutely no match for Baek-hwa-dang this time, you've definitely lost."

  "Some things are too early to say, and need to be settled after the coffin is closed."

  "Is the verdict already set in stone? As long as Yu Shizi returns to inherit Wushuang City, marries a woman of equal social status and has children, they won't do something so boring."

  "In fact, they don't have to go to such great lengths, Dye Gongzi already has a woman he likes." Xia Feng couldn't help but interject.

  "Oh? Is it true?" Ming Jingdao Long looked at Mr. Zhou instead, seemingly not believing Xia Feng.

  "The young master is eager to see that woman, he's very fond of her." Mr. Zhou sighed and said.

  "Not bad, Dye Gongzi has never been interested in any woman before, but he's particularly interested in this one. If Ming Jing Daozhang hadn't arrived, I'm afraid Gongzi would have already entered the bridal chamber and become a new husband by now. In a few more days, there will be a little Yu Shizi born." Xia Feng said with a laugh that was as if she wished chaos upon the world.

  "You two are indeed unbridled, I am a gentleman of integrity, the dignified son of Yu Ran. How could I be someone who is eager for lust?" Yu Ran's eyebrows and eyes fluttered, suddenly calm, the bone fan in his hand emitted a dazzling light, "I have always been composed and unruffled, my heart as steady as a pine tree, my mind like a clear mirror stand, where would I stir up dust?"

  Ming Jing stared at him with a thoughtful expression, when suddenly someone jumped up beside him and whispered, "Dao Zhang, the people we sent to find Wen Renyi were all injured."

  Ming Mirror turned his head and said, "What's going on?"

  That person said: "I heard that Wen Renyu was not at the Dongling Wei headquarters, our people went there and were immediately attacked by a fox spirit."

  "What's wrong? Where?" Ming Jing raised an eyebrow and asked.

  "Women, chest; men, waist."

  "Oh, that fox is really bold. Forget it, you go ahead, I'll go meet with Wen Ren."

  "Lead on, Dao Chang, we've found where he's gone."

  Ming Jing nodded and turned back, saying: "Alright, Yu Shizi, I'll go find Wen Ren first. You two are both causing trouble for your respective families, but the situation at his place is a bit more complicated."

  Yu Ran took a deep breath, adjusted his clothes, and bowed respectfully, "Master Dao, slow down, I won't see you off."

  As soon as the mirror was gone, Yu Ran immediately put on a blue silk brocade robe that had been prepared in advance. She looked like an orchid or a jade tree, elegant and refined, exuding an aura of nobility from head to toe. With long strides, she walked out swiftly, like the wind.

  However, Yu Ran unexpectedly walked the same path as Ming Jing, and Yu Ran couldn't help but glance at Ming Jing Dao Zhang in surprise. Ming Jing Dao Zhang also gave Yu Ran a strange look.

  "What a coincidence!"

  "Lord Dye, what a coincidence."

  "Dao Zhang went to find Wen Ren Yi, why are you lingering in this place?"

  "Listen to what I'm saying...I heard someone is right here, but where are you going?"

  "I'm going to find my darling."

  "Great, I'll take a look later."

  Just as everyone was standing in front of the door, Daozhang was immediately blocked outside by Mr. Zhou and Xiaofeng.

  When Yu Ran entered, seeing the scene in front of him, his facial expression immediately froze, and a chill appeared in his eyes.

  Just then, Wen Renyi was seen to be there, and Su Mo sat on the couch, wearing a long green shirt, with one leg stretched out like jade on the footstool. One hand rested on Su Mo's ankle, which curved beautifully in the candlelight, while the other hand slowly explored along the crystal shoe.

  "What are you two doing?" Yu Ran's face was as cold as ice, his eyes were like deep water.

  "It's you." Wen Renyi immediately straightened up, his body blocking Su Mo, his gaze turned to Yu Ran, his eyes equally cold, making people feel a chill.

  He looked at Yu Ran, and Yu Ran also looked at him coldly. Su Mo adjusted his loose clothes, still calm and composed, his eyes scanning the two men in the room with their swords drawn, only to slowly curl up the corners of his mouth.
