"Are there other people from Infinite Boundless Mountain moving about at the foot of the mountain?" Xu Qingyan asked curiously.
Xu Qingchen said, "Since Infinite Boundless Mountain has such a large power, it is impossible that no one has been paying attention to it for decades. Naturally, there are people in charge of it in secret. It is just that it is much more secretive than the previous generations. "
Mr Qingyun nodded, "That's right. These people have no fame in the world at all, and do not attract any attention at all. Some even die of old age without doing anything in their entire lives, no different from ordinary citizens. However, there are many capable people among them who are willing to remain silent. From this, it can be seen that Infinite Boundless Mountain's methods of controlling their subordinates are definitely exceptional. "
"But that Dongfang You …" Fifth Young Master Xu was a little doubtful. That Dongfang You might be more knowledgeable than him, but if it was a battle of wits, he really could not see anything special about her. Mr Qingyun shook his head, "This Miss Dongfang indeed does not seem like a descendant of Infinite Boundless Mountain. However, the more she is like this … the more powerful the person Infinite Boundless Mountain will send to help her in secret."
Mo Xiuyao smiled, "Isn't that powerful? The Lord of Infinite Boundless Mountain, Dongfang Hui, has already personally come to Glass City. I reckon it won't be long before they come asking for an audience. "
"Dongfang Hui?" Xu Hongyu frowned slightly, asking.
Ye Li nodded, "That's right. Has First Uncle heard of this name before?" Xu Hongyu was silent for a moment, before saying mildly, "I do know someone called Dongfang Hui." Ye Li could not help but look at Mo Xiuyao beside her. Coincidentally, Mo Xiuyao also looked over. The two were silent. From First Uncle's tone, it did not seem like they had an ordinary relationship. If it was really as they thought, then it would really be a huge mess of melodrama.
If the two of them could tell, the others would naturally be able to as well. However, no one asked in detail. Lady Xu, Qin Zheng and the others had always only cared about the matters of the inner residence and would not ask about it. After breakfast, Xu Qingfeng and Xu Qingze sent Mr Qingyun out of the city, before everyone returned to the study to continue their conversation. Originally, Xu Qingyan also wanted to send Master Qingyun out of the city, but for some reason, he changed his mind and said that he had something to do and would leave the city tomorrow to accompany his grandfather. Then, he shamelessly followed Master Qingyun into the study.
"Father, what's your relationship with Dongfang Hui?" Fifth Young Master Xu was the first to lose his cool. The other three people secretly heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts. If Xu Qingyan hadn't asked on their behalf, even Young Master Qing Chen wouldn't have had the nerve to ask his father such a private question. Xu Hongyu was stunned. He glared at Xu Qingyan and scolded him with a smile, "What nonsense are you thinking? We only knew each other when we were young. "Looking at the expressions of the other three, it was clear that they had the same idea as Xu Qingyan. Mister Hongyu was so angry that he slapped Xu Qingyan's head in annoyance.
It wasn't that they were narcissistic and thought that every woman would have feelings for Xu Hongyu. Though Master Hongyu was already in his prime, he was still lean and handsome. Just by looking at the appearances of Xu Qingchen and his brothers, one could imagine how handsome Master Hongyu had been when he was young. Though the marriage of the Xu family brothers had almost become a problem these past few years, it definitely wasn't because they weren't well-off. On the contrary, it was because they were just too outstanding. There were very few ladies who could match up to them.
Xu Qingyan didn't mind being scolded by his father. Compared to such a small scolding, he was more worried that his father's confidante would suddenly appear, or even a concubine. Not to mention what his mother would think, or what his brothers would think, his grandfather would break his father's legs first.
"So you're saying that the time of Infinite Boundless Mountain's entry into the world is actually rather random?" Xu Qingchen raised his brows and asked.
Xu Hongyu said mildly, "They say that they enter the world once every sixty years, but how could it be so strict? If it's not their turn, then wouldn't those who enter after sixty years be stuck in the mountain forever? No matter how intelligent a frog in a well is, it's useless. It's just that they don't do it so openly. I met Dongfang Hui twenty-seven or twenty-eight years ago. At that time, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, having just come down from the mountain to temper herself. "
"What does Eldest Uncle think of this Dongfang Hui?" Ye Li asked.
Xu Hongyu thought for a moment, then said, "That was because she was still young, and was still rather innocent. However, her methods, impatience, and decisiveness were all not bad. At the very least … it's definitely not something that that girl called Dongfang You can compare to. After so many years, I can't say for sure what exactly has happened. However … we must not underestimate her. "Xu Qingchen nodded," Many thanks for Father's reminder. Your son knows. "
Indeed, just after noon, Chief Steward Mo came to report that the Lord of Infinite Boundless Mountain had come to visit, and that he had specially said that he had come to visit the First Young Master of the Xu family, Xu Qingchen. From this faint special explanation, it could be seen that the people of Infinite Boundless Mountain were a little displeased with First Young Master Xu. Xu Qingchen, who had originally intended to push the matter to Mo Xiuyao, also followed along to the front hall to meet the guest.
Mo Xiuyao held Ye Li's hand as they walked into the hall, side by side, and saw a middle-aged woman standing in the middle of the hall with her hands clasped behind her back, admiring a painting. She didn't sit down, and Dongfang You beside her naturally didn't dare to sit down either. There were also quite a few young men and women standing by the side. Before Mo Xiuyao had even entered, he could already feel that although these people looked young, they were all experts that were hard to come by. In comparison, in terms of martial arts, Dongfang Hui was actually the weakest. However, even so, these young men and women still stood by the side with their heads bowed respectfully. Even when Mo Xiuyao and the others entered, they didn't raise their heads to look at them or say a word. Evidently, they were extremely respectful, even reverent, towards Dongfang Hui.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Dongfang Hui turned to look at the door, smiling mildly, "Prince Ding, Princess Ding. Nice to meet you. "
Ye Li smiled mildly, nodding, "Lady Fang of Infinite Boundless Mountain, nice to meet you. Lady, please sit down. Is there anything wrong with the Prince Ding Mansion? "
Dongfang Hui said with a smile, "Princess, you're too serious. Please forgive me for intruding."
Mo Xiuyao held Ye Li's hand and sat down on the main seat. Dongfang Hui then sat down on the first seat on the right. Xu Qingchen strolled over and sat down opposite her. Dongfang Hui looked at Xu Qingchen sitting opposite her, and a faint fluctuation flashed through her eyes. She raised her head and smiled at Ye Li, "You 'er is young and ignorant, so she acts recklessly. These days, she has caused a lot of trouble for the Prince Ding Mansion. Prince and Princess, please forgive her. " Ye Li smiled and glanced at Dongfang You, who was standing behind Dongfang Hui, and said with a smile, "Lady Fang, you're too serious. Miss Dongfang is a guest. It's our Prince Ding Mansion that has neglected Miss Dongfang. Please don't blame us. "
Dongfang Hui frowned slightly, looking at Ye Li with a bit more admiration. Looking at the well-behaved Dongfang You beside her, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If You 'er had Princess Ding's Exquisite Heart Silk, how could things end like this?
Looking sideways at Xu Qingchen for a while, Dongfang Hui asked, "Is this the eldest son of the Xu family, Young Master Qingchen?"
