Shang Yan Fei willed and vanished into the darkness.
When he reappeared, he was already in Shang clan's outer city.
Noisy voices entered his ears, there were all sorts of stalls lining both sides of the street.
The passersby only saw a flash of blood flame as a handsome black robed man with blood red hair appeared out of nowhere.
"Oh my god, that scared me!"
"Who is this? He dares to abuse Gu worms in Shang clan city? "
Many people looked at him in bewilderment, only a few recognized Shang Yan Fei, but they did not dare to believe it.
Shang Yan Fei did not care about these gazes, following the bloodline connection, his sharp gaze landed on Shang Xin Ci.
The two girls were standing in front of a stall.
"Missy, this hairpin is beautiful!" Xiao Die took out a jade hairpin from the stall and placed it on Shang Xin Ci's hair.
Shang Xin Ci forced a smile, after leaving Fang Yuan, she was in low spirits.
Xiao Die, on the other hand, was captivated by the bustling scene of the city and became lively again.
Suddenly, Shang Xin Ci sensed something and turned around.
She saw Shang Yan Fei at the first moment.
In the crowd, the black robed red haired Shang Yan Fei stood out like a crane among chickens, extremely conspicuous.
But what attracted Shang Xin Ci was not his appearance, but a mysterious connection and calling that originated from her bloodline.
Without saying a word, the moment Shang Xin Ci saw Shang Yan Fei, she knew this middle-aged man's identity.
This was her father!
Father … To Shang Xin Ci, this word was so mysterious and so distant. It contained so much grief and sorrow, and had accumulated so much grief.
When she was young, she had asked her mother countless times about her father. But her mother remained silent. And now, she finally saw her father.
"So this was the reason mother wanted me to come to Shang clan city before she died!" She realized at once, tears falling down uncontrollably.
The moment Shang Yan Fei saw Shang Xin Ci, he thought of her mother and understood her identity.
Similar, they were too similar!
This child's gentleness was exactly the same as hers.
Shang Yan Fei's heart ached, he seemed to see her again.
That was on a misty spring afternoon, the willows by the lotus pond swayed with the wind. Under the shabby eaves, Shang clan young master Shang Yan Fei met a Zhang clan young lady who was hiding from the rain.
A gifted scholar and a beautiful woman, love at first sight. They poured out their hearts and pledged their love to each other …
However, there was nothing one could do about the affairs of the world. Rivers and mountains and beauties were like fish and bear's paw. How could one have both?
The young Shang Yan Fei's heart was burning with a strong flame, this flame originated from a man's natural ambition for power and authority.
Between ambition and tenderness, between responsibility and freedom, between the pressure of a powerful enemy and the promise of a beautiful woman, he finally chose the former and gave up on the latter.
Thus, he defeated his brothers and sisters and ascended to the throne of Shang clan leader. Thus, he became a rank five Gu Master and had countless beauties. Now, he had many sons and daughters. So, he could not find her, because Zhang Clan and Shang Clan had been enemies for generations.
When one was in the Jianghu, one had no choice.
The identity of the Patriarch had helped him, but it had also shackled him.
The King's every move would cause the winds and clouds to change, and he would receive the attention of the world. As the Shang clan leader, how could he ignore the clan's influence because of his personal feelings?
These years, he had tried to convince himself, hiding his guilt and uneasiness, using righteousness and responsibility to numb himself.
He thought he had forgotten everything, but when he suddenly saw Shang Xin Ci, those memories in the deepest part of his heart, those tenderness, came pouring down like spring rain, enveloping his heart.
At this moment, his heart was in turmoil, surging!
Blood was thicker than water, kinship turned into a long river. Shame turned this long river into a sea, instantly drowning and engulfing him.
He took a light step forward, disappearing on the spot and appearing in front of Shang Xin Ci.
Xiao Die cried out in shock, the surrounding people cast shocked and shocked gazes.
But the two involved did not sense it.
"You, what is your name?" Shang Yan Fei tried to speak, his voice was magnetic and filled with warmth.
Shang Xin Ci did not reply.
Tears streamed down from her beautiful eyes.
She took a step back, tightly pursing her lips as she stared at Shang Yan Fei, her gaze showing stubbornness …
It was this man who hurt mother's heart.
It was this man who caused me to suffer discrimination and bullying since young.
It was this man who captivated mother's dreams, even before she died, she was still thinking about him.
It was this man, he is my … father.
At this moment, her emotions were surging, countless emotions mixed together, forming a violent whirlpool that swallowed her mind.
She fainted.
"Missy!" Xiao Die, who was suppressed by Shang Yan Fei's aura, suddenly woke up and screamed.
But Shang Yan Fei was faster than her, pulling Shang Xin Ci into his embrace.
"Who dares to violate the city rules, using Gu worms, do you want to go to jail?" A group of city guards sensed something was amiss, cursing as they rushed over.
"Ah, lord clan leader!" Seeing Shang Yan Fei, their expressions changed, kneeling on the ground.
The entire street was in an uproar.
"You, you are actually Shang clan's …" Xiao Die stammered, unable to speak.
Shang Yan Fei grabbed Xiao Die's arm, blood flames flashed, and the three disappeared.
…
"Line up, one by one. To enter Shang clan city, each person has to pay ten Yuan stone. Once inside, do not misuse Gu worms, violators will be sent to jail for at least seven days! "The guards stationed outside the city shouted.
On the wall of the city gate, there were many wanted posters. Some of the wanted posters were already old and yellowed. They were covered up, and only a corner of them was visible. Some wanted posters were brand new and were casually pasted on the wall.
Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing followed the crowd, getting closer to the city gate, and indeed found a wanted poster, issued by Bai clan village.
"Bai clan village …" Seeing this, Fang Yuan could not help but snort.
"Please stop." The city guard arrived in front of Fang and Bai.
The two wore ordinary clothes, looking like commoners. Bai Ning Bing pulled down her straw hat.
"This is twenty Yuan stone." Fang Yuan was not nervous, handing over a money bag.
After the guard checked, he immediately gave way.
Although the city wall next to him was densely packed with wanted posters, it was convenient to look at and compare them. But he did not even glance at them.
Those wanted posters were nothing more than a show.
Shang clan prioritized profits, as long as one could pay Yuan stone, they could enter the city.
Every day, large numbers of demonic Gu Masters would pass under the guards' eyes. Everyone had a tacit understanding.
The loot that the demonic Gu Masters robbed would be sold in Shang clan city. At the same time, if they wanted to replenish their Gu worms, Shang clan city was the best choice.
It could be said that the demonic Gu Masters were one of the biggest pillars of Shang clan city's prosperity.
Of course, the demonic Gu Masters could not be too brazen, entering the city with great fanfare. After all, Shang clan city was a righteous sect, they had to consider their image.
The two walked past the tall city gate, and saw a wide street.
The street was crowded with people, with tall and straight green trees planted on both sides of the road. Sunlight shone on the trees, and all kinds of noodle stalls, shaobing, tofu pudding, vegetables and jewelry vendors were all huddled under the trees, setting up all kinds of stalls.
The two walked for a while, and on both sides of the street, there were tall bamboo buildings, yellow mud houses, or brick houses with white walls and grey tiles.
Shops, restaurants, inns and blacksmiths appeared in front of them.
"Brother, do you need a place to stay? Our place is very cheap, only half a Yuan stone per night. "A middle-aged woman walked up, her face full of smiles.
Fang Yuan stared at her, and walked away without saying a word.
His appearance was frightening, the middle-aged woman's heart jumped, and did not dare to pester him anymore, shifting her target to Bai Ning Bing.
"Brother, it is not easy to be outside. Our inn is good, we even have little girls at night. You want to go to the brothel street, that is not cheap. We mortals trade our lives for money in the outside world. Our hard-earned money won't make a splash in those places. Our inn's little girls are the best, cheap! Some were ripe peaches, and some were so tender that water could be squeezed out of them. What kind do you want, brother? "
The middle-aged woman lowered her voice, her expression ambiguous. She looked at Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing's dressing, and mistook them for mortals.
Bai Ning Bing's forehead was filled with black lines.
"Scram." She snorted, her voice chilling to the bone.
The middle-aged woman's expression changed, her body stiffened, and she stopped on the spot.
"So it is a female."
"Hahaha, Big Sister Zhang, you must have made a mistake this time …"
The surrounding people who were also trying to pull people up started to clamor, the middle-aged woman could only smile.
Along the way, Bai Ning Bing had improved greatly in terms of disguise, even the experienced customers mistook her.
Four Seasons Restaurant.
An hour later, Fang Yuan stopped in front of a five storied building.
This building had white walls and black tiles, vermillion doors and pillars, the smell of wine wafted in the air, and the aroma of food permeated the air. It was a famous restaurant in Shang clan city.
"Two customers, please come in." The waiter was very good at business, seeing Fang and Bai, he hurriedly walked over and invited them.
The two had walked for half a day, climbing up the mountain, they were hungry, so they entered the restaurant.
"Two customers, please sit here." The waiter led the way.
Fang Yuan frowned slightly: "This hall is too noisy, let's go upstairs."
The waiter immediately showed a difficult expression: "I won't hide it from you, there are indeed private rooms upstairs, but they are only open to Gu Masters."
Fang Yuan snorted, sending out a portion of snow silver primeval essence.
The waiter hurriedly bowed: "I have eyes but failed to recognize Mt. Tai, please go upstairs!"
At the entrance of the stairs, the waiter stopped, and a young and beautiful girl with a sweet appearance immediately walked over, saying in a sweet voice: "Two lords, may I know which floor you want to go to? Our Four Seasons Restaurant has five floors. The first floor is for mortals, the second floor is for rank one Gu Masters, and the third floor is for rank two Gu Masters, with a twenty percent discount. The fourth floor is for rank three Gu Masters, with a fifty percent discount. The fifth floor is for rank four Gu Masters, with a free reception. "
Fang Yuan laughed: "Let's go to the fourth floor."
