The carriage was made of Mount Wu stone and was exceptionally strong. Ordinary weapons could not harm it at all.
The inside was simple and unadorned. Apart from a few soft stools and a tiger skin mattress, there were no other decorations. It really didn't match the identity of the owner of the carriage who was a prominent figure of the West Wind Kingdom.
Yan Xiangma got into the carriage, bowed to the chubby man sitting there and said with a smile: "Uncle, you just came back from outside?"
Yan Botao had the back of a tiger and waist of a bear, his eyes were fierce and his face looked extremely dignified. He stared intently at Yan Xiangma for a while, then scolded: "You only know how to play and make trouble all day long, when will it end?"
"Second Uncle, did you suffer some sort of injustice outside? If you're angry, then scold me. Don't be polite with me. I can't help the family with other things, but if I can make you elders calm down, it's my honour. "Yan Xiangma said sincerely with a smiling face.
"You — —" Yan Botao pointed at his nephew for a long time before he finally sighed helplessly: "Xiangma, your father specially sent you to escort Xiaoxin back, this is only one of the purposes. The most important thing is to let us find you a position in Tiandu. You're not young anymore, you've been hanging around in Jiangnan for so long, it's time to come out and help out. Now is a troubled time, the family needs your help. "
Yan Xiangma's expression turned serious. "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to help the family, but there's nothing for me to do at home. You also know my temper, I can't sit still at home, so it's better to let me go out for a walk so I won't be bored at home. "
"Well, now there's one thing, are you willing to share the family's worries?"
"Of course." Yan Xiangma nodded repeatedly. "I've been looking forward to serving the family for a long time, to share uncle's worries."
Yan Botao nodded with a smile. "About Zhaoren, how much do you know?"
"About cousin Zhaoren, I know everything that I should know, I don't know anything that I shouldn't know." Yan Xiangma said with a chuckle.
He didn't expect things to involve Cui Zhaoren again. Cui Zhaoren's death was closely related to Li Muyang. Now the entire Tiandu people were saying that Li Muyang killed Cui Zhaoren on his way to school. They also said that he was a demon, able to cast demonic techniques and that all the fish and shrimps in the river listened to his command.
Because there were too many rumors, they were too exaggerated, and some were true and some were false. It was hard to tell which side was telling the truth.
However, Yan Xiangma had secretly come into contact with the students and some businessmen who came to the capital to study. They all had the same opinion and said that it was true, which made Yan Xiangma extremely puzzled.
The monster that they described was really Li Muyang?
Able to fly in the sky and burrow into the ground, able to turn water into soldiers, able to summon wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and also able to command fish and shrimps to collide with boats — — If Li Muyang had such abilities, why did he go to Starry Sky Academy to study? If he had such abilities, would his entire family have almost been killed by assassin Crow?
Yan Xiangma and Li Muyang had not known each other for long, but in his heart he liked this dark-skinned, simple, kind and extremely motivated boy. Yan Xiangma could feel that under his carefree appearance, there were many things that other people could not see. However, these things were not annoying, but instead made people sympathize with him.
Most importantly, he also has such a beautiful and cute sister.
Yan Xiangma did not want to get himself involved in that pool of muddy water. If that happened, he and Li Muyang would completely break off, and as for Li Shinian — — most likely they would only be passers-by in the future.
Of course, this was the best ending he could imagine. How could a family's struggle be resolved with such a small amount of blood shed?
Without killing a few people, without spilling a few blood, the matter would not be resolved.
"Slippery fellow." Yan Botao pointed his finger at Yan Xiangma's head and said: "Xiangma, I know you and Li Muyang have some friendship, and you also have a crush on his sister — —"
"Uncle, I do have a little insignificant friendship with Li Muyang, but the matter of me having a crush on his sister — — who did you hear it from?"
"Do I need to hear it from others? During the time you came back, every day you ran to the girl's school gate and waited, then shamelessly followed behind her to send her back. This matter has spread throughout Tiandu, our Yan family's face has been thrown away by you — — What did you say? You said the young master of the Yan family, Yan Xiangma, has a crush on the daughter of a servant of the Lu Family. Yan Xiangma, don't you feel ashamed? Don't you feel ashamed? "
Yan Xiangma's handsome face turned slightly red, feeling a little embarrassed. "Uncle, don't listen to their nonsense, there's no such thing. The reason why I waited at the school gate was because I was afraid someone would hurt Shinian — — You also know, because of the rumour, the entire Tiandu has their eyes on the three of them. Li Muyang that kid is smart, he hid in a place where no one can find him. Nobody can do anything to them. Li Yan and Luo Chi husband and wife do not step out of the house, they hide in the Lu mansion and no one dares to find trouble with them. But think about it, what would happen to Li Shinian? She's a girl, she has to go to school every day, if some greedy villain wants to please the Cui family and do something to her — — I would feel very sorry. "
"Impudent." Yan Botao growled in a low voice. "Yan Xiangma, listen to what you're saying. Those who wanted to please the Cui family were all despicable people blinded by greed? What's your position? What's your relationship with the Cui family? "
"Uncle — —"
"Xiangma, you're not young anymore, you should be more sensible. Like what you just said, why would other people want to please the Cui family? Isn't it for benefits? Don't you need to please the Cui family? Li Muyang killed a member of the Cui family, but you hang out with the murderer's sister all day long, sending people back and forth without any trouble. What would the Cui family think of you? What would Tiandu think of you? "
"Uncle, I understand what you mean. I just think that every debt has a debtor, if Li Muyang really killed someone, then they should go look for Li Muyang, why would they have such crooked thoughts towards a woman? Such a big family, such a powerful group of men, why would they plot against a girl? "
Pa — —
Yan Botao slapped Yan Xiangma across the face.
