"Yuxi, now you come with me to the ancestral temple. The two elders have come out of seclusion and want to see you."
Deep in the Han family compound, Han Yuxi's father said with a serious face, "Your news has attracted the attention of grandpa and elders. They asked you to make a detailed report."
Han Yuxi nodded and tentatively said, "Um...Dad, do you think the elders are interested in killing people and stealing money?"
"What are you thinking about?
The Han family are not bandits and bullies, so we have to kill them all if they have valuables?
You are too suspicious."
Her father glared at Han Yuxi, patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, explain the matter clearly, and that kid will be fine."
"Okay, okay...then I'll go now."
Han Yuxi secretly felt relieved, turned around and walked towards the ancestral temple.
"Yuxi, you said that you are just friends with that boy named Chu. Why do I think you care about him very much?"
Before Han Yuxi could walk away, her father suddenly said coldly, "Do you like him?"
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about...I don't have any."
Han Yuxi's face turned red and she hurriedly defended, "I care about my friends. Is there any problem with this?"
"Look at how excited you are. It's okay. Dad can just ask casually. Don't pay attention.
Go ahead, don't keep grandpa and elders waiting."
Her father waved his hand, and Han Yuxi bit her pink lips before turning around and disappearing out of the living room.
"Old Dong, come on down."
After Han Yuxi left for a while, his father spoke up and called the housekeeper outside the door.
"Master, do you have any orders?"
The butler Lao Dong bowed and asked.
"Send someone to check the background of this guy named Chu Nan to see if there is anything dirty about him. If this guy is a bastard, I will get rid of him secretly.
If you're a nice person, just give me the details and I'll take a look for myself.
I always feel that this kid Yu Xi’s feelings for this Chu Nan are a little unusual."
"Yes, sir."
After the housekeeper Lao Dong bowed deeply again, he exited the living room... Han Yuxi looked slightly nervous. Indeed, since she could remember, she had not seen the two foreign elders worshiped by the Han family for at least ten years.
In fact, in the real big families in the capital, it is not uncommon to worship elders like this. After all, when a family develops to a certain level, there will definitely be many powerful enemies and rivals peeking at them. If they cannot effectively protect themselves, they will become like others.
The fat in the eyes.
Therefore, many masters in martial arts sects will cooperate with large families in China to provide masters to take charge of the family. Over time, they become enshrined elders.
In this way, these big families will have protection against force, which will at least make those snooping enemies deeply fearful.
And if a martial arts sect has a good relationship with a big family or even binds to cooperate, it will also receive financial and personnel support from the big family, allowing the sect to survive better.
Precisely because this is a win-win result, it has continued until now.
The two enshrined elders of the Han family are representatives of the most unpredictable warriors currently hired by the family to protect them. Han Yuxi doesn't know what sect they belong to and what martial arts they practice. After all, these two elders were born before she was born.
She has already arrived at the Han family, and these matters are kept secret both inside and outside the family, and she will not take the initiative to ask stupidly and boringly.
Han Yuxi walked into the Han family's backyard and came to the black gate of the Han family's ancestral temple, the family's most mysterious and largest forbidden area.
Every time she enters this ancient building of unknown age, Han Yuxi feels nervous and suffocated, maybe because she has been afraid of this place since she was a child... The Han Family Ancestral Hall is actually not big, just a two-story building.
, in the pond in front of the ancestral hall, there are two large black and white carps, weighing a hundred kilograms, that have been around for an unknown number of years.
Glancing at the big carp swimming in the pool, Han Yuxi gritted her teeth and finally stepped into the dark door... The weak lights exuded a faint luster under the ancestral statues in front of the ancestral temple, rows in front of them.
In front of the ancestors of the Han family, Han Yuxi did not dare to make any mistakes. She hurriedly approached, knelt down and said, "Han Yuxi, the eldest daughter of the fourteenth generation of the Han family, pays homage to all the ancestors, the patriarch, and the two elders."
"Get up and talk."
The head of the Han family, who was sitting next to the ancestral tablet and was wearing a robe, said kindly, "Yuxi, I asked you to come to the ancestral temple today. You don't want to feel any pressure. I just want you to provide the two elders with some information about immortals."
The situation of the spiritual jade stone."
"Yes grandpa."
Han Yuxi straightened her body, raised her head, and her eyes fell on the elders who were sitting cross-legged on the high platform on the left and right, who had a bit of an immortal air. Then she spoke out and said, "A few months ago,
, when I went to Yongning City in Southeast Province for business, I made a business friend, his name is Chu Nan..." Han Yuxi gave a detailed account of how she and Chu Nan met, and how they gradually became friends and partners.
Clearly understood.
Of course, she did not tell anyone about the ambiguous things that happened with Chu Nan after she was frightened by a horse at the racecourse of Ning's villa.
"So, this Chu Nan is your savior?"
After listening to Han Yuxi's detailed explanation, the head of the Han family nodded and said, "I have sent people to investigate the fact that you were plotted against in Yongning City and almost died in a car accident for a long time. Although there has not been any breakthrough progress yet, it is somewhat possible.
I am sure that those Japanese killers were after your fairy jade fragments, and the mastermind behind the scenes did not specifically want to assassinate you."
"I thought so too. I originally bought the fragment just to give it to the two elders for training, but who knew it would lead to death, and then accidentally lost it..." Han Yuxi certainly couldn't say that the fragment was finally given to her.
Chu Nan, otherwise her grandfather and elders would be so angry that they would almost die.
"It's not your fault, you have a good intention."
The head of the Han family looked at Han Yuxi dotingly and said, "She is indeed my good granddaughter. I believe the two elders will also be grateful for what you have done."
"Yes, head of the family, we are all deeply touched by the eldest lady's kindness."
The elder spoke up at this time, "Miss, please tell me more about the fairy jade in Mr. Chu's hands."
"Oh well."
Han Yuxi nodded and said, "After Chu Nan came to the capital, he came to me to discuss an investment project. He said that he was short of money recently, and said that because he trusted me, he told me that he wanted to negotiate a deal. The content of the deal is fairy jade."
"Chu Nan clearly told me that he has two pieces of fairy jade in his hand. They were excavated from an ancient tomb when he entered a certain cave to explore."
After the two elders looked at each other, the elder on the right spoke first, "Miss, how trustworthy do you think... Mr. Chu's words are?"
"This... I don't dare to vouch for it, but I understand Chu Nan. He is a very upright man, very capable, and has good kung fu.
When I got into a car accident, I was chased by Japanese masters because of the jade fragments. If he had chosen to escape alone, he would have been safe very quickly.
But he chose to risk his life and fight with a killer for my friend, from this we can see that his moral character is good."
Han Yuxi said good things for Chu Nan, because she understood deeply that if she didn't bring Chu Nan closer to her, maybe the two elders of the Han family would really do something secretly.
After all, two fairy jade stones are indeed a fortune that is rich enough to take risks! "Okay, we have a clear understanding of the general situation. You can go back. I will come back to you after discussing it with the two elders."
The head of the Han family waved his hand and issued an order to expel the guests without any courtesy.
Han Yuxi glanced at her grandfather, and suddenly prostrated herself in the tunnel again, "Grandpa, two elders, Chu Nan is a talent, and he is my friend. He does not pose any threat to our Han family. I hope we can use the spiritual stone in his hand."
Spend money to buy it instead of using other means..." Hearing this, the head of the Han family fell on Han Yuxi and said after half a minute, "Yuxi, this seems to be the first time I heard you plead for someone else, right?
"
"Yes, but I think this plea is meaningful!"
Han Yuxi said with a firm look, "There are some things I can't say, but I know that if something happens to Chu Nan because of the Han family, the Han family will definitely be involved in big trouble.
At least someone will hate the Han family and will definitely avenge Chu Nan!"
"Besides, Chu Nan is a young talent. Although he is still in his infancy and does not have much strength or backing, as long as he is given a little time and a chance, he will soar like a dragon! Grandpa, I don't know how to look at people.
