When people get old, they love to reminisce about the past. Even the ambitious Yan Huangjiu was the same.
When he was heavily injured by his opponent, he found a small city to live in seclusion. He met Yan Qingxue's mother and was taken care of by her.
But he wasn't a normal person. He was the lord of Merchant Mountain City. He couldn't leave the foundation he built.
At that time, Merchant Mountain City was in trouble. Even Yan Huangjiu was heavily injured.
Originally, Yan Huangjiu wanted to bring Yan Qingxue's mother to Merchant Mountain City after stabilizing the city. He didn't expect to wait for ten years.
When Merchant Mountain City's position in Xiang Nan was completely stabilized, Yan Qingxue's mother passed away unexpectedly.
He originally felt guilty towards Yan Qingxue's mother. Now that he saw Yan Qingxue's situation, he couldn't help but wonder if he did the right thing.
"Qingxue, dad will help you this once. Even if you can't win against Lao Da and Lao Er, dad will definitely let you live a carefree life."
Tenderness flashed in Yan Huangjiu's eyes. Then, it became abnormally sharp.
"Go get Liang He for me."
"Yes!" The black robed man replied respectfully.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the black robed man brought Uncle Liang.
Uncle Liang respectfully bowed to Yan Huangjiu: "Greetings, City Lord."
He was an old man in Merchant Mountain City. He had been by Yan Huangjiu's side ever since he established Merchant Mountain City.
But because he was getting older, he didn't have much ambition. He was sent by Yan Huangjiu to take care of Yan Qingxue.
"Liang He, what do you think of that Meng Qingze?" Yan Huangjiu lightly asked.
Uncle Liang thought for a while. He really couldn't think of how to describe Meng Qingze. After a while, he thought of something and said: "He has the style of a teacher."
The corner of Yan Huangjiu's mouth revealed a trace of a smile. Has the style of a teacher? That sentence was enough.
Although he had never met Zong Haoyang, the Four Ultimate Wanderer, he knew that he was one of the few good people in the martial arts world, and he had a good reputation.
As his disciple, Meng Qingze's temperament wouldn't be too bad. Sending him to Yan Qingxue's side, Yan Huangjiu was relieved.
"Liang He, I plan to have Qingxue recruit Meng Qingze," Yan Huangjiu said.
Uncle Liang instantly revealed a bitter smile and said carefully, "City Governor, with Young Miss's current situation, I'm afraid she won't be able to recruit a Ranking List Expert like Meng Qingze."
He carefully glanced at Yan Huangjiu. The reason why Yan Qingxue was like this now was largely because of this City Lord's indifference.
Although Uncle Liang had followed Yan Huangjiu back then, he was later sent to Yan Qingxue's place to look after her as she grew up. He had stayed here for more than ten years, and he even treated Yan Qingxue as his own daughter.
Therefore, even though he knew that his words might incur the wrath of Yan Huangjiu, he still tactfully brought it up.
Unexpectedly, Yan Huangjiu did not get angry. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "It's fine. I'll give you something that will definitely allow you to recruit Meng Qingze."
Hearing Yan Huangjiu say this, Uncle Liang was instantly overjoyed. The City Lord had finally thought it through and wanted to take care of the Young Miss?
Yan Huangjiu waved his hand, and a servant immediately came over with a wooden box, handing it over to Uncle Liang.
Yan Huangjiu gestured for Uncle Liang to open the box, and there was actually a painting scroll inside.
After Uncle Liang opened it, the painting scroll depicted a graceful and beautiful woman with beautiful eyes. She held a green umbrella in her hand, and she appeared lifelike and very moving.
However, no matter how good the painting was, it was just an ordinary painting scroll. What made the City Lord think that it could move Meng Qingze and make him join the Young Miss?
Yan Huangjiu said indifferently, "You should have heard of Meng Qingze's master, 'Sijue Wanderer' Zong Haoyang.
When Zong Haoyang was still in the Innate Realm, he once fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Jiannan Path's Shen Family, Shen Xijun. Unfortunately, the Shen Family's people fawned on those in power and wanted to marry Shen Xijun to the Jiannan Path's Situ Family, forcibly separating the two.
Finally, on the day of the Shen Family's wedding with the Situ Family, Zong Haoyang made a scene at the wedding, but was severely injured by the Shen Family's people. Shen Xijun died, and only then did the Shen Family let Zong Haoyang go.
But in the end, Shen Xijun was unwilling to marry into the Situ Family no matter what. In the end, Shen Xijun's father died of a serious illness, and Shen Xijun also gave up. She cultivated with her hair still, and escaped into Buddhism. In the end, the two of them could only be so close, yet worlds apart. They loved each other, but they couldn't see each other. "
Uncle Liang really didn't expect the famous Sijue Wanderer to have such a gossip story. However, what did this have to do with this painting and recruiting Su Xin?
Yan Huangjiu continued, "This painting was personally painted by Zong Haoyang in the past. The woman in this painting is Shen Xijun, and Zong Haoyang gave it to Shen Xijun as a token of love.
But because of what happened later, the Shen Family threw everything related to Zong Haoyang out of the Shen Family in a fit of rage. Most of the paintings have already been destroyed, but this painting was unintentionally spread and obtained by me.
This painting has an extraordinary meaning to Zong Haoyang. Since Meng Qingze is Zong Haoyang's disciple, as long as you take this painting out, with Meng Qingze's personality, he will definitely agree to anything in order to obtain this painting. "
Hearing such an allusion, Uncle Liang was instantly overjoyed. This way, he had almost a 99% chance of convincing Meng Qingze to join the Young Miss.
After Uncle Liang left, Yan Huangjiu said coldly, "Go and monitor Second Brother and the rest. See if they have used the power of those sects in Xiangnan. It's not their place to interfere in the matters of our Merchant Mountain City! "
The black-robed man who had been staying behind Yan Huangjiu nodded and continued to hide in the darkness.
Although he had married the disciples or children of the various factions in Xiangnan, he wouldn't allow Merchant Mountain City to become the vassal of the various factions in Xiangnan.
Yan Huangjiu sighed inwardly. As he approached, he felt a faint pain in his chest again.
Right now, Yan Huangjiu was only over 70 years old, while Primordial Spirit Realm experts had a lifespan of over 200 years. According to this calculation, Yan Huangjiu was still in the prime of his life.
However, because he had yet to recover from his serious injuries, his lifespan was greatly reduced. Now, he was even nearing the end of his life. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so worried about the successor of Merchant Mountain City.
After Uncle Liang returned, he immediately explained the origins of this painting and Yan Huangjiu's plans. This immediately made Chi Rang and Lü Li extremely happy.
They had witnessed Meng Qingze's strength. He was a legendary expert on the Ranking List of Men. With him joining, who would dare to bully them?
Only Yan Qingxue was a little hesitant. "Wouldn't we be holding a favor to seek repayment? Wouldn't it incur Young Master Meng's displeasure? "
Uncle Liang chuckled. "Young Miss, you don't have to worry. Judging from Young Master Meng's performance today, he definitely isn't a petty person."
Hearing Uncle Liang's affirmation, Yan Qingxue could only nod.
Although she was kind-hearted, she wasn't a pedantic person.
If Meng Qingze could join her, the benefits to her could be imagined. She didn't have any extravagant hopes of seizing the position of City Lord. She only hoped that she could protect herself from Yan Zhongheng and the others' aggressiveness.
The next morning, Yan Qingxue and the others brought the painting to find Su Xin. They didn't conceal it along the way. This was Uncle Liang's suggestion. He wanted to let Yan Zhongheng and the others see that he also had the strength to contend with them now.
In Merchant Mountain City, Yan Zhongheng and the others naturally had many informants. The moment Yan Qingxue and the others made a move, those informants immediately passed the news to Yan Zhongheng and the others.
The reactions of the four people most capable of fighting for the position of City Lord were similar. They all thought that Yan Qingxue had gone crazy. She actually wanted to recruit a Ranking List of Men expert.
After Boss Yan Shuheng received the news, he didn't care too much. He only instructed his subordinates to pay attention and pass the news to them at all times.
Yan Zhongheng sneered incessantly. If this idiot woman wanted to find trouble for herself, then let her go. Did she really think that she could become his subordinate just because he saved her yesterday?
Yan Chengheng, on the other hand, was thinking that if Yan Qingxue couldn't recruit Meng Qingze, could he recruit him himself? He was very confident in his own charm.
As for Yan Jiheng, his thoughts were even more vicious. He was even considering whether he should bring people over now and wait for Yan Qingxue to fail so that he could ruthlessly ridicule her.
At this time, Su Xin had just woken up. Fang Hao cleverly arranged breakfast and waited downstairs for Su Xin.
Yesterday, a Small Huan Pill allowed him to open up several apertures. This made him even more attentive towards Su Xin's service.
At this time, a gentle voice came from outside the inn, "Yan Qingxue is here to thank Young Master Meng for your help yesterday."
Su Xin was surprised at first, then the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile.
His acting yesterday wasn't in vain. Yan Qingxue finally came.
However, he just realized that Yan Qingxue's EQ wasn't low. She didn't say that she wanted to recruit him or ask to see him. She only said that she wanted to thank Su Xin for saving her yesterday. This made it impossible for Su Xin to refuse.
Su Xin said in a gentle voice, "So it's Miss Yan. Please come in."
Yan Qingxue walked in with Uncle Liang and the others. She deeply bowed to Su Xin and said, "Thank you Young Master Meng for your help yesterday. Otherwise, Ah Rang would be in danger."
Chi Rang also cupped his hands at Su Xin with a blushing face. His experience in Jianghu was relatively low. It was the first time that he saw a famous legendary figure like Su Xin on the Ranking List of Young Masters. He seemed a little nervous.
As for Hei Zhi, she was much more open. Her big eyes were constantly twinkling with little stars. She looked at Su Xin without blinking.
"Hehe, Miss Yan, you don't have to be so polite. I already said yesterday that there will be someone to help if there is injustice. I just can't bear to see them bullying a weak girl like you. "
Yan Qingxue's elegant eyebrows curved into a beautiful angle. She said softly, "Nowadays, there are so few people with a chivalrous heart like Young Master Meng. There were so many martial artists at that time, but Young Master Meng was the only one who helped."
Su Xin smiled and said, "Miss Yan, don't flatter me. I'm not a chivalrous person. I'm just a Jianghu person who does whatever he wants at most."
Yan Qingxue asked curiously, "Then what kind of person is a real chivalrous person?"
Su Xin said with a straight face, "A great chivalrous person is for the country and the people. A real man walking in the world should seek to have an indomitable spirit and have a clear conscience.
The former leader of the Heroes' Association, 'Forgetting the World' Mo Shenghui, single-handedly went deep into the prairie to assassinate the State Preceptor of the Golden Horde Kingdom, Gesar, for the people of the Central Plains. He shattered his Zhenwu Dharma Form and perished together with Gesar. He dragged tens of thousands of Eagle Shooting Cavalry of the Golden Horde Kingdom to die with him. This caused the vitality of the Golden Horde Kingdom to be greatly damaged. They were unable to invade our Central Plains. This helped our Central Plains get through the most difficult period. Such a person can be called a chivalrous person! "
