Hearing the announcement from outside the carriage, Gan Xiumei's expression changed slightly. She then coldly snorted and said, "Since you are here to welcome us, why are you waiting at the Rosin Pavilion? You are clearly trying to give Young Hero Wang a show of strength, outrageous! "
Gan Xiumei's face was full of indignation, but Wang Yan was secretly laughing in his heart. He knew that he was only an odd-job disciple after all. Even if he caused a ruckus in Tianmaji, the people in Yunma School did not personally experience it and may not know the details. For the Sect Leader's son to bring two elders to welcome him in front of the city gate was already giving him a lot of face. Could it be that these people had to personally welcome him in front of the carriage? Then would Yunma School still have any face left?
Wang Yan knew what Gan Xiumei was worried about and was too lazy to care about her little thoughts. He only said, "Since Young Master has personally come to welcome me, I naturally cannot be impolite."
As he said this, he looked at Gan Xiumei and said, "Master Gan, I think we should dismount now. I can also take this opportunity to properly appreciate the local customs and practices of Yuntian City."
Gan Xiumei knew that Wang Yan's thoughts were clear and simple tricks would not work. However, she only wanted to show her attitude to Wang Yan and prevent Wang Yan from being completely roped in by the Young Master, so she immediately nodded. The three people in the carriage dismounted one by one. When Wang Yan got off the carriage, he saw that the sky was about to turn dark, but it was still not dark in Yuntian City.
Compared to Tianmaji, Yuntian City appeared to be a lot more orderly. Even though there was an endless stream of people at the city gate, it was not very noisy inside the city. On the long bluestone street that was a few meters wide, pedestrians walked left and right. Carriages and horses moved along the road. Everything seemed to be in order. Moreover, among the shuttling crowd, there were only a few Jianghu people with swords and sabers. Most of the people were ordinary people. There was not much difference in status between the two groups. They mingled peacefully in the crowd and did their own things. This kind of scene was hard to imagine in Tianmaji.
As for the buildings on both sides of the street, they were not as magnificent as those in Tianmaji. Looking into the distance, it was hard to see tall buildings like the Spring Night Building. Most of them were small buildings of two or three stories or low-rise shops.
Perhaps Yuntian City didn't look very prosperous, but everything exuded a peaceful aura. Wang Yan, who was standing on the street, looked at Yuntian City and felt an inexplicable sense of fondness in his heart.
"Big Brother, look, that's the sugar doll I was talking about."
Wei Xiangnan stood beside Wang Yan and pointed to a small stall surrounded by many children not far away. There was a two-meter-tall soft stick erected on the stall, and there were all sorts of little people stuck on the end of the stick. Wei Xiangnan must have loved this candy very much. As he spoke, he pulled Wang Yan's sleeve and ran over. Wang Yan didn't resist and let the girl pull him.
Soon, the two arrived at the stall, and the little people on the stick appeared more clearly in Wang Yan's eyes. At first, Wang Yan didn't think much of it, but after he took a closer look, this candy doll piqued his interest. The little sugar figurines on the stick were not all the same, but each had their own characteristics. There was a cold swordsman wearing a bamboo hat, there was a graceful swordsman dressed in a white robe. Each of the little sugar figurines was made to perfection. Some were obviously famous heroes, while some were evil and did not seem to be good people.
Looking at the various candy dolls on the soft stick, Wang Yan asked with interest, "I wonder what these different shapes of candy dolls mean?"
The boss, who was concentrating on making the candy dolls, couldn't help raising his head when he heard Wang Yan's words. When he saw Wei Xiangnan, he smiled and said, "So it's Miss Nan. Are you here to buy 'River Breaker' Leng Zhiqiu again today?"
Wei Xiangnan blushed inexplicably when she heard this. She lowered her head and murmured, "Uncle Chen, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
As she spoke, Wei Xiangnan secretly glanced at Wang Yan who was beside her. Wang Yan didn't care about Wei Xiangnan's girly behavior. Hearing the boss's words, he seemed to understand a little and said, "Boss, the candy dolls you make are all based on the top experts on the Hidden Dragon List?"
'River Breaker' Leng Zhiqiu's name was well-known to Wang Yan. This was probably because this person was publicly recognized as the world's second best swordsman, ranked seventh on the Hidden Dragon List. There were probably very few people in the Jianghu who hadn't heard of him.
"It's just based on the drawings on the Hidden Dragon List. It can't be taken seriously. It's just a way to make a living."
Boss Chen could tell that Wang Yan wasn't an ordinary person, so he bowed and answered very humbly. Seeing this, Wang Yan's playfulness was aroused and he couldn't help pointing at the candy dolls on the soft stick and asking them one by one. Wei Xiangnan saw that Wang Yan was so interested and didn't wait for Boss Chen to answer. She named them one by one and even told him some information she knew.
After playing around, Wang Yan learned a lot more about the people on the Hidden Dragon List, including some anecdotes about these people. She felt that she had gained a lot and even wanted to continue. But thinking that the young master was still waiting in that Rosin Pavilion, Wang Yan didn't want to be too rude and was about to leave with Wei Xiangnan. Unexpectedly, Wei Xiangnan giggled and said to Boss Chen, "Uncle Chen, can you make a candy doll for me based on this big brother of mine? You must make it look like it, okay? "
Wang Yan heard this and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. But when he thought of Wei Xiangnan asking the boss for his candy dolls, didn't that mean that he also saw himself as a person on the Hidden Dragon List? Thinking of this, that little vanity made Wang Yan's heart feel very good, and a sense of heroism grew in the depths of his heart. He pulled Wei Xiangnan and said, "Girl, you don't have to do this. Sooner or later, there will be a candy doll for me here. At that time, I will definitely buy one for you personally."
As he spoke, Wang Yan didn't care about Wei Xiangnan's objection and pulled the girl away with large strides. Gan Xiumei witnessed this scene from not far away, and her feelings for Wang Yan became even more sensitive. Her eyes flashed and no one knew what she was thinking, but in the end, this old woman still followed behind Wang Yan and Wei Xiangnan towards the Rosin Pavilion.
Other than the little interlude at the candy stall, the group didn't make any more delays on the way. Not long after, Wei Xiangnan led Wang Yan into a small alley called "Huiyi Alley". In the middle of the alley stood a two-story antique octagonal building, and on the plaque in front of the building were three words "Rosin Pavilion".
Seeing Wei Xiangnan and Gan Xiumei walk into the alley, a few young people dressed in Yunma School inner sect disciple attire immediately came to greet them in front of the Rosin Pavilion. The leading young man with high eyebrows bowed to Gan Xiumei's group and said: "Master Gan, Young Master, Elder Qin, and Elder He are waiting in the Cloud Birth Pavilion on the second floor, please follow me."
"Humph, really putting on airs. Little Gongzi is here at the Rosin Pavilion to welcome you, presumably he has received orders from the Sect Leader to welcome Young Hero Wang. Now that Little Gongzi, Qin Weiming and He Sixiu are sitting upright upstairs, you want Young Hero Wang to go up and pay your respects?
Little Gongzi is young and doesn't understand etiquette, could it be that Qin Weiming and He Sixiu's years have been wasted on dogs? "
Gan Xiumei didn't give any face, standing in front of the Rosin Pavilion and using her internal energy to shout the above words loudly. The shout rumbled, causing people's eardrums to ring. Wang Yan also didn't think that Gan Xiumei would suddenly explode. If it was said that Wang Yan had the intention to sow discord in the carriage before, but this time it was tantamount to sternly berating in front of Little Gongzi and the other two elders. In this way, the undercurrent of the struggle for the heir in Yunma School was even more turbulent than Wang Yan had imagined.
But Wang Yan didn't want to be involved in this bullsh * t matter and only smiled noncommittally. Instead, he used his internal energy to protect Wei XiangNan's ears. Wei XiangNan, who was originally shocked by Gan Xiumei's loud shout, saw that Wang Yan was protecting her, the smile on her face couldn't help but become even sweeter.
When the shout stopped, a middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and a graceful middle-aged woman walked out from the Rosin Pavilion. Behind the two followed a thirteen or fourteen year old youth. Although this youth was young, he had a pair of sharp and spirited eyes like a hawk. Not only did he not have the slightest bit of immaturity, when he walked, there was a bit of a hawk's eye like a wolf's eye, but he had the bearing of a master or two.
Looking at this youth, Wang Yan didn't need others to introduce him to know that he should be Wei Chunfeng's younger brother, Wei He Chuan. Just looking at this youth's appearance and demeanor, he was many times better than that idiot Wei Chunfeng. No wonder he was valued by so many elders in Yunma School at such a young age.
This youth stood inside the door with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Gan Xiumei indifferently, then turned to look at Wang Yan. After a few glances, he withdrew his gaze and didn't say anything. Seeing this, the middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes immediately stood out and sneered, "Gan Xiumei, after your trip to Tianmaji, you've become a lot bolder. How dare you criticize the young master's way of doing things, do you think you're an inner court elder?"
The elders of Yunma School were also divided into the inner court and the outer court. There weren't many inner court elders, but most of them were at the Clasping Yuan Stage. Only a few of them had made great contributions to the school, and these people could be called the pillars of Yunma School. As for the outer court elders, they were all at the Nurturing Embryo Stage. As a titled master, Gan Xiumei's strength could be counted as one of the best among the outer court elders of Yunma School, but after all, she was still a step behind the inner court elders. This time, she left behind the mess at Tianmaji because she wanted to borrow Wang Yan's power to promote to an inner court elder by taking back the Gui Yun Lou and taking over the Black Water thief's business for the school.
Facing the middle-aged man's words, Gan Xiumei didn't give in at all. She said, "The young master is still young, it's inevitable for him to deviate from the way he does things. As the elders, we should guide him. Not everyone is willing to be a dog and do all the despicable things."
Listening to Gan Xiumei's sarcastic words, the middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes and the middle-aged woman's expression changed. However, at this moment, Wei Hechuan stepped out of the door and smiled faintly. He said, "Hechuan is still young, if he does anything inappropriate, Master Gan should reprimand him, but …"
At this point, Wei Hechuan's face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted loudly, "Master Gan, do you know that you've made a huge mistake this time?"
A huge mistake?
Gan Xiumei's gaze froze, and she had a bad feeling in her heart. As she opened and closed her fingers, her palms were already full of sweat.
In the next moment, Wei Hechuan waved his hand and shouted coldly, "Men, arrest Gan Xiumei and this fake disciple of Aojian Villa, Wang Yan!"
