Su Xian felt like a row of arrows pierced at him with Chengjun's words alone, he turned to Zong Shen
"don't you have anything to say?"
Zong Shen gave a confused look "didn't he give you the answer already why are you wasting our time?"
Su Xian heavily lifted his teacup, he suddenly felt tired of this master and disciple.
"Old man why did you leave suddenly?"
Su Xian became serious at once "I have two questions for you?"
Zong Shen stopped his work turned to Su Xian frowning his eyebrows, Su Xian then said in a calm voice
"We have an ally to support us but the revenge of yours cannot happen" Zong Shen still looked at Su Xian waiting for him to complete his sentence
"All the curse people along with you can be cured"
Zong Shen smirked a little "say in detail how and who can cure those people"
they both chatted for a while in a very serious atmosphere. at the end of their conversation Zong Shen didn't give him a response instead he left the room leaving his disciple and Su Xian behind,
"I hope he chooses wisely," said Su Xian there is a trace of pity and concern in his voice
Chengjun snorted at his words and said to Su Xian
"Even worse comes to worst my master only takes rational decisions even his life depends on it, also my master is strong enough to face any circumstances so please don't insult him by showing pity and concern to him"
Su Xian widens his eyes in rage at Chengjun but halted when he heard his last sentence. his blind confidence in his master is unparallel to those who are with Zong Shen for a long time.
his sentences struck a chord in Su Xian's thinking until now they have never shown trust without a doubt and suspicion in him. he was being tested to prove his capability as their inheritor which he was never interested in but did everything he could do in his knowledge.
but now Su Xian has no doubts about his capability and is very concerned about his health. Chengjun's words made him think of the pain Zong Shen felt, at the start when Zong Shen's action of trust and respect towards them earned him a series of tests for his capability of becoming their heir.
gradually his change of actions and distancing himself from them didn't go unnoticed by everyone, but even if they want to redeem that it's too late for that. Zhao Chengjun's arrival as Zong Shen's disciple gave a tiny hope to all of them.
Shi Xiaoya came in with a confused face then she sat beside Chengjun and spoke
"Chief, Master Zong Shen said not to follow him even shadow guards and went by himself, is everything okay?"
Chengjun huffed at her words "seriously pretty sis Shi my Master is not a 3yr old stop concerned about him all the time" without looking up from his book
Shi Xiaoya looked at him speechless Su Xian laughed it felt nice that he is not the only one who took a jab from this stinky kid's mouth.
then Chengjun suddenly turned swiftly closing the book "pretty sis Shi you found anything about my girl?"
Shi Xiaoya's mouth twitched at his focus she took a set of papers from her strange ring and handed it to him "this is all the information about people alive and dead in this Manor"
before Chengjun could respond Su Xian took them and questioned in confusion "dead?"
Chengjun facepalmed and said in a frustrated voice "old man this Manor went through a serious cleaning of spies and traitors in your absence, you didn't get any news on this?"
Su Xian blinked a couple of times before saying "no... I didn't get any I came here straight, didn't go to barracks"
Chengjun nodded his head and started explaining things, they soon went on to a heated discussion and forgot about Zong Shen.
in Ye Qinyang's study
he was resting near the couch area at the window with his hand covering his face, he felt a pair of hands lifting him and making him sit on his lap when he felt a familiar scent hit him, he relaxed and let him do as he wishes.
Jin Fen couldn't stop himself when he saw Yang was resting on the couch with the plum blossoms tree waving outside the window, he felt it looked so picturesque and Yang lazily leaning on the couch turned him on,
when Jin Fen felt Yang adjusting himself in his embrace to sleep, he smiled evilly and pulled the stash holding on his outer robe loosening it further he snaked his hands inside his inner robe to touch Yang's bare skin
Yang opened his eyes to Jin Fen who was smiling gleefully while roaming his hands, Yang pulled his collar at once surprising Jin Fen he bit his lips a little hard and then licked them while inserting his tongue which Jin fen immediately caught with his and they soon ended up in a tongue war.
they both moved away when they felt short of breath, yang put his arms around Fen's neck as he gave a peck on his cheek "what's the matter?"
Fen looked dazedly at Yang "you are too much of a tease"
Yang chuckled while Fen kissed him again on his lips, they heard a loud grunt and coughing sound freezing them in their kiss
* Ahem * Ahem *Ahem*
Ye Tianxin looked disgustingly at Jin Fen. They both stood up awkwardly Jin Fen first straightened Yang's clothes and then tidied up himself.
Ye Tianxin then dragged Yang to his side while maintaining some distance between both of them
"What are you here for?"
Jin Fen looked at Yang who was behind his father and then at his father-In-law he cried sweetly
"Father, my old man sent a message"
Ye Tianxin flared up instantly "who is your father?! I won't accept you nor your stinky family, give me the message and get lost"
Fen pouted and then remembered his brother and father's advice to be shameless!!
While pursuing a wife you need to be shameless!!
He then looked at Ye Tianxin pitifully as he handed the message, Ye Tianxin squinted his eyes in distrust at Jin Fen so he stood there wanting him to leave, yet this brat is looking at him pitifully
His muscular build with sharp features looking pitifully at him just like his mother Ye Tianxin controlled his urge to beat this stinky fellow(Jin Fen).
Yang crossed his arms Infront was enjoying the showdown between his father and his beloved, he pursed his lips tightly to not let out his smile
He patted his father's shoulder "dad let him be, remember uncle bai said he had to say something, Jin Fen will be the messenger"
Ye Tianxin was about to snap but got interrupted by a soft voice "ohh there is no need for that son we are already here"
Huan Mei, Jin Qiang, and Bai Qiuran were standing at the entrance of Yang's study infuriating Ye Tianxin
