Tantai Chang 'an did not laugh angrily, and his laughter was hearty, without the slightest gloominess. This playboy, who was known for his frivolity, seemed to have a natural intimacy. "It's easy to deal with honest people. Then I'll go with the flow and say things first, saving Young Master from thinking too much. If Chang' an likes someone, as long as he doesn't have bad intentions, even if he punches me or scolds me, it's a good thing. I may have a bad face at the moment, but I will certainly regret it afterwards. If Young Master really becomes Tantai Chang 'an's bosom friend, please forgive me."
Hsu Fengnian followed him into the secluded courtyard where the tea cooled down and changed to hot tea. He bluntly said: "Isn't Second Young Master's bosom friend too worthless? You want to make friends with whoever you see?"
Tantai Chang 'an, who had been holding on to Hsu Fengnian, turned his head with a hurt expression.
Tantai Konghou slapped her forehead. Having such an unscrupulous Second Brother was really a disgrace. However, she did not feel that her Second Brother, who came from an aristocratic family, associated with a poor and pedantic person, even calling him brother was inappropriate. What's more, this outsider with a saber did not look ugly. In terms of martial arts, he was able to tie with Yang Dianchen at a young age. If he fell into Second Brother's hands, he would be dragged to drink and chat nonsense. If he was seen by Eldest Brother, who cherished talent like his own life, he would be invited back to the City Overseer's mansion to be enshrined as a Bodhisattva.
Young Lady Anyang was like what Hsu Fengnian had seen from the window on the second floor. She was a plump and fair-skinned beauty. She was dressed in brocade, which set her off like a pampered noblewoman. Such a graceful woman could very well arouse the love and desire of influential men. Boys were born with ambition from poverty, and women were born with temperament from wealth. This was a very real truth. The most famous courtesans of the Liyang Dynasty were the imperial concubine Jie Yu of the fallen Spring and Autumn Dynasty. However, after twenty years, she had already become a swan song. She could not be encountered nor sought. The second type was a woman from an official's family who had been convicted and demoted. The third type was Qing Ling, who entered the brothel from childhood and was carefully cultivated, slowly growing into a courtesan. According to Li Liu, the top courtesan of the Guanghan House, who was holding a zither, was the daughter of a defeated big family in the Orange State.
After sitting down, as the head of the Guanghan House, Tantai Changan did not treat Young Lady Anyang condescendingly. he smiled and said: "Sister Anyang, can you play Mountain and Flowing Water? I get along very well with this unknown young master beside me. "
Miss Anyang pursed her lips and smiled. Apparently, she was familiar with the temperament of this second young master of the Tantai Family. She did not exchange any unnecessary greetings and only nodded.
.. of Guanghan's. Hse Fengnian, I, Gua's.. com Konghou..... a. Guanghan
Tantai Changan smiled and said: "You probably know my family name. But in order to show my sincerity, I'd like to say that I'm Tantai Changan. I'm just a small branch of the Tantai Clan of the Dragon Pass. I'm just a small branch on a towering tree. I can't scare the real dignitaries. I think my parents gave me the name Chang 'an. I don't expect the Flying Fox City to be in peace for a long time. I just want to keep myself safe for a long time. Young Master Xu, do I look like a guy with great ambition? I'm just pretending to deceive those ambitious girls who won't marry unless they're officials or generals. However, my foundation is not good enough. I'm much worse than my elder brother. Hey, Sister Anyang, play your zither well. Don't bully me even though I don't know zither. I can tell that you're distracted. You're one of the girls I mentioned! "
Xu Fengnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was more sensitive to danger than the little girl Tao Manwu who had telepathy. Unless Tantai Changan was an expert above the Vajra Realm, he was really an interesting guy who didn't have any evil intentions. However, judging from his appearance and footsteps, he was obviously an ordinary playboy who was hollowed out by wine and women. If he pretended to cover up, Xu Fengnian would be in serious trouble no matter whether he entered this yard or not, whether in terms of scheming or cultivation. So, Xu Fengnian decided to take things as they came.
Observing Qi was a necessary skill to travel in Jianghu. As for whether it was wrong, it depended on the level of both sides. A martial arts expert was like a rich man who didn't lack money. How could he be a real rich man if he wore a thumb-thick gold necklace or a string of copper coins on his body? When he was as rich as a country, he mostly hid gold in his sleeves. Once the Qi movement was restrained, unless one was two realms higher and looked at it from top to bottom, it would be difficult to detect it accurately. For example, the jadeite between Miss Anyang's plump breasts was originally an inconspicuous type of gemstone, but because of the jadeite's unique advantages in stone gambling, it became popular. To a large extent, jadeite collectors were not interested in the jadeite itself, but the gambling process of peeling off the stone's skin, which was very moving.
It was the same for masters. When traveling in Jianghu, most of them restrained their Qi as if they were gambling with other masters. That was why they were mysterious. Otherwise, as soon as you went out, there would be cheers from onlookers and yelling, "Look, it's a Level Two master." If a Level One master went out, the passers-by would take their families and yell out to watch. It was too outrageous. This was the essence of Jianghu's attraction. It could make you fail miserably, but it could also make you famous by stepping on others. If one reached the Celestial State that resonated with heaven and earth, it was another story. Not to mention the first three realms of Level One, even Earth Immortals of the fourth realm could be identified. However, like the Saints of the three sects, they hid their strength and bided their time. It was difficult to judge them with common sense. This was also the reason why the old Taoist Zhao Xuansu of Longhu Mountain could successively deceive the two sword immortals, Li Chungang and Đồng Thái. The rest of the martial artists who proved their Dao with strength couldn't escape the "Celestial Eye".
Wang Xianzhi, who was the strongest in the world, and Tuoba, who was close behind, were said to be able to kill the other eight people on the list once they joined forces. They didn't need any celestial phenomenon at all. Any martial artist could feel the terrifying aura emitted by these two gods. No matter who they faced, they could crush them. Even if they were Earth Immortals, they would be killed by pure strength.
Tantai Chang 'an really spared no effort to play wholeheartedly. Listening to the zither, he glanced at his sister who was happily drinking the plum blossom porridge cooked by him. He took a sip of wine and squinted, saying, "You must be joking. My ambition is to be a teacher in a rural private school. I serve the disobedient boys with a feather duster, but I'm more lenient with the girls. I don't have a bad idea, but I just think about how they will look when they grow up. They will be slender and elegant, get married, help their husbands and raise their children. I don't know why I feel happy when I think about it."
Hsu Fengnian said calmly, "How many times have I told my friends about this ambition?"
Tantai Changan said innocently, "It's up to you to believe it or not. I really only told you about it."
Hsu Fengnian couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance, "Tantai Changan, when you were picking plum blossoms, you fell and damaged your brain?"
Tantai Konghou, who was drinking porridge but listening to the conversation, spat out a mouthful of porridge. She gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Xu Qi, well said!"
Tantai Changan rolled his eyes and said, "Great aunt, who just scolded me for helping outsiders? Should I scold you back a few times? In a war of words, who has your Second Brother lost to? "
Tantai Konghou made a face. Looking at that youth with the saber, he was much more pleasing to the eye. At least her Second Brother had innumerable friends. But those who dared to say that her Second Brother's brain was damaged could be counted on one's fingers. Besides, she hadn't known this wanderer for long. This straightforward courage and insight was to the liking of her City Lord Mansion's Third Young Master. It was no different from this bowl of plum blossom porridge! Wasn't this the so-called no discord, no concord? She leisurely ate the plum blossom porridge, her mood very good.
Tantai Changan asked, "Xu Qi, what is your ambition? I see that your martial arts aren't bad. Do you want to be like Hong Jingyan, a martial artist revered by tens of thousands of people? Or do you want to be like Luo Yang, a devil with no misgivings? Or perhaps even more ambitious, to be like our Beimang's God of War, the only one in a hundred years who can be called an indomitable dynasty? "
Hsu Fengnian thought for a moment and said calmly, "I don't have that much ambition. I'm just thinking that there will be a day when my old man really dies of old age, so I can leave with some peace of mind."
Murong Konghou seemed to recall her own words on the fourth floor. She didn't care whether this Xu Qi could hear her or not. She softly whispered, "I'm sorry, Xu Qi. I only spoke casually in Guanghan Building."
Tantai Changan was silent for the first time. After a long time, he raised his cup and softly said, "Very good. Your ambition is a bit bigger than mine. I don't like those fellows who keep on talking about helping the people. There are too many of these people in Flying Fox City. Many of my friends are the same. They always look high and far away, but they don't care about their feet. They don't travel far when their parents are healthy. They don't understand."
Seeing Hsu Fengnian's gaze cast over, Tantai Changan awkwardly smiled and said, "As long as you understand what I mean, it's fine. I didn't say that you were wrong. I'm ignorant and incompetent. With great difficulty, I remember some principles, so I blindly opened my mouth."
Hsu Fengnian smiled.
