"Impossible, he can't be Young Master Yan!" Su Rongrong repeatedly shook his head in denial.
Zhao Ting instinctively asked, "Oh? Why would Rongrong say that? "
Su Rongrong snorted, "If he is Young Master Yan, how could he have escaped from the Hardship Prison and not come to find son-in-law? Could it be like how it's written in the novels, that he was tortured in the Hardship Prison and lost his memories, not knowing who he was and was tricked into becoming a son-in-law?"
Zhao Ting did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Rongrong, I told you long ago that you cannot believe a single word of those stories. They are all the fantasies of those who have lost hope in life. Also, what is the World's End like? There are no survivors, so there are naturally no books or legends. How would you know that it is a Hardship Prison? It might even be a paradise. "
"Grandpa Zhao, you are so stupid!" Su Rongrong rolled his eyes. "If the World's End is a paradise, then wouldn't Li Taixu, who exiled all the criminals there, be a very good person?"
Zhao Ting thought about it and felt that it was true. While the little girl's words were not strict, there was a simple truth to them. He looked at Yan Shiyi again. Seeing that the latter was not in a hurry, he restrained himself and observed carefully. Through observation, he found that this Yan Li was slightly different from the one he knew. The Yan Li he knew would not give up on self-cultivation even if he was sitting and talking to others. And six years had passed. How could that face not have changed at all?
"Son-in-law, are you satisfied with that garden? If there are not enough servants, you can transfer them from the manor. No need to stand on ceremony." The more satisfied Jin Futai was with this son-in-law, the more enthusiastic he was. The reason for this was that he had seen Yan Shifang's wanted portrait before. It was exactly the same as the one he was drawing now, so he was sure that this Yan Shifang was definitely the real Yan Shifang.
"Having such a wife, what more can a husband ask for." Yan Li held Jin Zhu 'er's hand affectionately. "Moreover, that garden is connected to the north and south. In Fengshui, it has the power of a crouching tiger. It is the most nourishing place. How can this son-in-law not be satisfied? I dare not ask for more. "
Jin Futai frowned when he heard this. Such a humble attitude was far from the famous Mad Swordsman. Previously, when they met and got married, it was very fitting. Why did it change on the day of returning home? He could not help but feel suspicious.
Seeing the change in her father's expression, Jin Zhuer was anxious. She grabbed the corner of Yan Li's clothes and signaled him with her eyes.
Yan Li seemed to have come to a realization. He hurriedly calmed his expression and said indifferently, "Father-in-law, please don't blame me. Recently, I was chatting with a Fengshui Master in the Immortal World and learned some knowledge. I'm not trying to show off."
"I see." Jin Futai's suspicions were instantly dispelled, and he said with a face full of smiles, "I know that my virtuous son-in-law has a wide circle of friends, but I didn't expect that you even know a Fengshui Master. By the way, have you gotten in touch with Great Craftsman Gu, an old acquaintance of my virtuous son-in-law? "
"Ancient Gu roams the four seas and travels throughout the Three Realms. Even I find it difficult to find him easily." Yan Li said indifferently, "But don't worry, as long as there is news, I will immediately invite him over."
As they were talking, a guard stumbled in. His face was pale, and he covered his chest and said, "Master, it's bad. A group of men in black came in …"
"My virtuous son-in-law is here. Don't panic." Jin Futai was as steady as Mount Tai as he leisurely drank his tea.
"Ah, yes, with the son-in-law here, no matter who comes, they will die." The guard became spirited and said excitedly.
Jin Zhuer's expression changed greatly, and she grabbed her lover's hand. The husband and wife communicated with their eyes. Before they could come to a conclusion, the sound of killing had arrived.
Yan Li stood up and ran two steps. Murderous aura surrounded him from all directions, blocking his way.
The leader of the men in black walked in. His gaze swept across Yan Li, and then fixed on Jin Futai who was leisurely drinking tea.
"Jin Futai, hand over the Guangwei Scripture, and I will spare your worthless life. Otherwise, all of you will die!"
"What's that?" Jin Futai frowned, but soon felt relieved. He sneered and said, "If you want travel expenses, you can prepare one or two for the hero. If you want other scriptures, forgive me for not being able to help."
"You're courting death." The man in black was furious and pounced over like a tiger.
Jin Futai's expression changed slightly. "My virtuous son-in-law, save me!"
"Ah!" Yan Li roared, and went up to block without caring about anything. Unfortunately, the speed of his punches and kicks was extremely slow. Before he could touch the man in black, he was slapped away. The long sword at his waist seemed to have become a decoration.
"Husband!" Jin Zhuer exclaimed, and hurriedly ran in front of Yan Li to block him. "No, don't kill my husband. You want, I will give you whatever you want …"
Jin Futai's eyes widened in disbelief, and his expression gradually changed.
The man in black sneered. "You're indeed a fake. If you're the legendary Yan Shifang, one finger is enough to crush me to death. Jin Futai, you idiot, quickly hand over the Guangwei Scripture. Do you really want me to kill your whole family? "
Su Rongrong said with a smile, "Look, son-in-law. It's indeed a fake."
Zhao Ting said, "Even if it's fake, it can still make this woman dizzy."
"Hmph, no way. They must have known each other before," Su Rongrong said.
"Before?" Zhao Ting said, "Could it be another love debt of young master?"
"What are you thinking!" Su Rongrong spread out his hands, looking as if he was already hopeless. Then, he pleaded to Yan Shiyi, "Young master, let's help them. I don't think this Jin Futai has the Guang Wei Scripture. It's obvious that this group of people is planning to kill him."
"Find out the origin of the mask and tell me when you come back," Yan Shiyi said and disappeared in a flash.
"Yes!" Su Rongrong laughed. He grabbed Zhao Ting and jumped down. "Stop!"
The man in black was about to torture Jin Futai. He didn't expect there to be someone on the beam. He quickly retreated to the door, "Who are you!"
"It's up to you, Grandpa Zhao," Su Rongrong pushed Zhao Ting forward.
Zhao Ting stood up helplessly. He then cupped his hands at the man in black, "I'm not well-known. You might not know me. But you must have heard of my master."
"Oh?" The man in black said.
"Purple-haired black blade," Zhao Ting said.
The man in black's pupils shrunk, "How do you prove it?" He quickly felt the aura of a land immortal from Zhao Ting. He finally understood. He clenched his teeth and stomped his feet, "Let's go!" He left with his people.
Jin Futai was still in shock. He cupped his hands at the two of them, "Two heroes and heroines, thank you for saving my life. Thank you, thank you …"
Su Rongrong waved his hand and pointed at the fake Yan Li, "You, take off your human skin mask. Don't you know it's shameful to lie? Son-in-law only spared your life on account that you didn't harm Young Master Yan's reputation. "
The fake Yan Li was helpless. He rubbed the mask off his face and revealed an ordinary face.
Jin Futai almost fainted when he saw it. He pointed at the fake Yan Li and said, "Zhao Zhuo! You, you, you, you, it's you, you bastard. I didn't, didn't I forbid you from seeing my daughter? "
Jin Zhu 'er helped the fake Yan Li, who was Zhao Zhuo, to stand up and sobbed at Jin Futai.
She said, "Father, I really love Brother Zhuo. Please help us!"
"Father-in-law …" Zhao Zhuo lowered his head in shame.
Jin Futai glared at him and slammed the table, "Zhao Zhuo, have you looked in the mirror? You're just a porter. Do you think you're worthy of being with my daughter? You dared to deceive me with a mask. I'll send you to the Dragon Emperor's Mansion to be punished! "
"Wait!" Su Rongrong raised his hand to stop him.
Jin Futai suppressed his anger and said, "Heroine, this is my family's matter. Please don't interfere!"
Su Rongrong said, "That won't do. If it weren't for us, you wouldn't have been able to keep your lives. Can't I be a matchmaker?"
Zhao Zhuo and Jin Zhu 'er looked at each other and quickly knelt down in front of Su Rongrong, "Please help us, benefactor!"
Zhao Ting suddenly clenched his fist and clapped his palm, "I see. They knew each other long ago. Xiao Jin didn't let his daughter see him. So he disguised himself as Young Master Yan and got what he wanted!"
"You finally understand," Su Rongrong said, both gratified and sympathetic, "I'll make some dishes for you later to nourish your mind."
Zhao Ting sighed, "How could I understand the matters of you youngsters? When I was young …" Thinking of the unbearable past, he couldn't help but sigh.
Su Rongrong said to Zhao Zhuo, "Give me the mask."
Zhao Zhuo handed it over.
Su Rongrong received it and exclaimed in shock, "It's actually a relic."
"So what if it is?" Zhao Ting said.
"Who would use Young Master Yan's appearance to make a relic? It would have to be someone he's very familiar with. " Su Rongrong pondered for a moment, then said to Zhao Zhuo, "As long as you tell me honestly where you got this relic, I'll protect you as a matchmaker. I guarantee that your father-in-law won't dare to talk back to you."
Zhao Zhuo then told him everything from start to finish.
As it turned out, Zhao Zhuo and Jin Zhu 'er's vows of eternal love under the moonlight were destroyed by Jin Futai. Jin Zhu 'er then thought of having Zhao Zhuo disguise himself as Yan Li to deceive Jin Futai. Zhao Zhuo had only intended to disguise himself, and if that didn't work, the two of them would elope. Unexpectedly, one day, Zhao Zhuo met a mysterious person in the Great Qing Tea House in the city. That mysterious person told Zhao Zhuo that Jin Futai had seen Yan Li's wanted poster before, and that if he didn't want to be exposed, he should wear the relic he made and pass.
"In the end, father-in-law really didn't suspect anything …"
"You bastard …" Jin Futai was so angry that he wanted to jump up and beat him up.
Su Rongrong suddenly took out a token and extended it to Jin Futai, warning, "The Phoenix Patrol Token is here. Do you dare to act rashly?"
Jin Futai's legs turned to jelly when he saw it, and he almost knelt down. Within the borders of the Southern Phoenix, seeing the Phoenix Patrol Token was like seeing Gu Yuehuang. This was an iron law that had lasted for hundreds of years after the establishment of the Phoenix Hall.
Su Rongrong snorted, "I'm the Southern Phoenix Patrol Token appointed by the Hall Master himself, and I'm inspecting the people on behalf of the Hall Master. Don't talk about marrying your daughter to Zhao Zhuo, even if I want you to marry a fat pig, you can't refuse!"
"Yes, yes, yes …" Jin Futai could only nod and bow.
Seeing that Jin Futai was obedient, Su Rongrong asked Zhao Zhuo, "That person didn't ask for money from you?"
Zhao Zhuo said, "He did."
"How much?" Su Rongrong asked.
Zhao Zhuo and Jin Zhu 'er looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "He wants all of father-in-law's wealth."
