Chapter 453 Old Acquaintances
smile on his lips, "I really didn't expect that in just a few days, you would make the young master so devoted to you. Should I say you are charming or that you are not a virtuous woman""…" Qin Luoya...The tallest building in town was a three-story structure located right in the center. The first and second floors were a restaurant, while the third floor housed a teahouse. As the sun began to set, Qin Luoyan brought Ni Wan to have dinner on the second floor. After they had eaten, she asked the waiter to help move Ni Wan to the third floor.
I found a seat by the window, from where I could take in the sunset over the town.
The second poured a pot of clear tea and then respectfully retired. Qin Luoyan and Ni Wan didn't speak, just sat quietly watching the scenery outside the window. There was a hint of longing in both their eyes, because no one knew how many times they would have the chance to see such a beautiful sunset again.
Qin Luo'yan was holding a cup of tea, her gaze fixed on the entrance of the town. Because it was too far away, she couldn't see clearly. She vaguely saw three camels swaying and coming to the gate. The people on the camels were also stopped by several people at the entrance. Perhaps the silver given by those people was not enough, so the few middle-aged men with swords scolded them before allowing them into town.
For some reason, when Qin Luoyan saw the three figures gradually entering the town, her heart pounded in her chest. She frowned and looked closely, but the distance was too far. All she could see were three figures that seemed to be hunched old men. Just as she wanted to take a closer look, the three turned and entered an alleyway, disappearing without a trace.
"Is there something wrong" Nini followed her gaze but didn't see anything unusual, she couldn't help but ask in confusion.
Qin Luoyan retracted her gaze, holding the teacup in her hand but forgetting to put it down. When she heard Ni Wan's words, she came back to her senses, but her brows furrowed even tighter. She muttered softly, "It's nothing."
Although she claimed there was nothing to it, only she knew the truth. The moment she saw the man on the camel, for a fleeting second, she thought it was Fu Zimo.
But how is that possible Fu Zimu was tall and imposing, while those few were hunchbacked old men. They looked nothing like him at all.
But that feeling, she couldn't quite describe it, as if she had simply sensed his presence.
She shook her head, smiling wryly. It seemed that as they were approaching the Gengjin Source, even she wasn't confident about the unknown dangers ahead. Perhaps in a few days, she would disappear completely from this world That’s why she kept thinking about him, wasn't it
Giving herself a reasonable explanation, Qin Luoyan didn't dwell on the matter anymore.
The next afternoon, the agreed-upon time finally arrived for the three families to meet. Rong's family hosted the gathering by booking all the rooms on the second floor of an inn. Other members of the two remaining families then arrived one after another.
Both Rong Ye and Qin Luoyan were in the first room on the second floor near the stairs. The first to arrive was the Ling family. The head of the Ling family was a man in his forties, with eyebrows and eyes that resembled the deceased young master of the Ling family. He walked into the room with a cold face, followed by seven or eight people.
"Yo, Patriarch Ling is truly punctual. Come in quickly, have some tea!" Rong Ye stood up to greet him, welcoming the head of the Ling family into the room, and then introduced Qin Luo'yan: "Miss Qin, I presume you haven't met yet. This is Patriarch Ling of the Ling Family."
Qin Luoyan stood up and politely bowed to Ling Shu.
Rong Ye patted Ling Shu's shoulder and introduced him again: "Master Ling, this is Miss Qin. This time, the three major hidden families are able to work together on this matter, all thanks to Miss Qin's connections. And for this matter, we still rely on Miss Qin."
"Hmm." Faced with Rong Ye's enthusiastic introduction, Ling Shu seemed somewhat cold, only giving a curt response and not saying much else.
Ling Shu's attitude made the atmosphere at the scene a little awkward, especially the way he looked at Qin Luo Yan. There was clearly a hint of hatred in his eyes.
Qin Luoyan, of course, was aware of his hatred. After all, the death of his son had something to do with her. She didn't even doubt that if she wasn't in a special position now, he would definitely attack her on the spot. Now, not only could he not seek revenge from her, but he also had to protect her safety before obtaining the treasure. He must be feeling incredibly stifled inside.
He was feeling stifled, and Qin Luoyan felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart. As a result, the smile on her face naturally grew wider, “It seems that Headmaster Ling is not very pleased with me. How come Is there some misunderstanding between us, Headmaster Ling”
She emphasized the two words "mistaken" as she spoke, and sure enough, when Ling Shu heard them, his face grew even darker.
This girl is clearly trying to provoke him! As the head of a hidden family, Ling Shu should be able to see through this little trick. But he can't afford to tear his face now!
Ling Shu's facial muscles twitched incessantly, finally squeezing out two words in a hard, brittle voice, "No."
"No misunderstanding then, that's great." Qin Luoyan smiled even brighter.
Rong Ye saw the two people's attitude and sneered in his heart. However, he forced a smile on his face and made polite conversation with Ling Su before having someone take Ling Su to settle down. He didn't mention at all that people from the Ling family had already arrived in town.
Qin LuoYan watched the polite exchanges between them, also feeling that sometimes people were really funny. They both knew the other had arrived in this small town several days ago, but they still pretended to be surprised. Who were they putting on a show for
Soon after the Ling family left the room, someone came to report that the Li family had also arrived.
Rong Ye also went out to greet him as usual, and there was not the slightest trace of displeasure on his face.
Li Jia came with the same people as before, Li Hai. But following behind Li Hai was someone they had expected: Li Yunfan.
When Li Yunfan entered the room, Qin Luoyan clearly felt a hot gaze upon her. She lowered her head in embarrassment before lifting it again to look back. But her eyes were as calm and serene as a still lake, quiet and peaceful.
“This must be Li Jia, the young head of the trustworthy household. Truly a hero among youth! Back when I met your father, Lady Li was quite pregnant. I can’t believe it’s been twenty years already. The child who was once in Lady Li's womb has now grown up and is leading his own successful life. Good, good, good.” Rong Ye politely invited Li Yun to the seat of honor.
Li Yunfan politely bowed his hands, expressed his good intentions, and then sat down in the chief position. Li Hai followed behind him, proactively took the teapot and poured tea for several people. There was no way he could do anything else; everyone in this room was higher in status than him, so at this time, he could only do these chores.
Perhaps Li Yunfan's gaze was too direct, even Ling Shu noticed something amiss. He chuckled dryly and said, "Does Head of the Li family know Miss Qin"
Qin Luoyan didn't speak, but Li Yun fanned her hand lightly and nodded, "It's an old acquaintance."
