The moment he saw Yin Jianghong entering the Hong family, Jiang Beiran, who was standing in the distance eating watermelon, said with a smile.
Through asking for signatures before, Jiang Beiran accurately found Mu Yao's location and found that he was locked in a room with a triple isolation formation.
If Jiang Beiran hadn't been proficient in formations and divination, he might not have been able to find Mu Yao even if she had a unique and precise locator like a talisman on her body.
Jiang Beiran had no interest in the matter of a hero saving a beauty, let alone such a big trouble as Mu Yao, so he directly sent the news to Yin Jianghong.
With Yin Jianghong's Xuanzong ability, as long as he knew where Mu Yao was, there would naturally be ten thousand ways to rescue her, whether it was a big or small move.
In addition, this matter was settled after Hong Yaxuan came to report. Jiang Beiran did not want to see the Hong family destroyed because of this matter, so the letter he sent to the Linglong Sect was signed as a member of the Hong family.
Regardless of whether Yin Jianghong can investigate whether this letter was sent by the so-called Hong family disciple, he has to admit that the person who sent him this letter wanted him to let the Hong family go, or even
Try to win over the Hong family as much as possible.
In this way, even if this matter is solved perfectly, what is left for Yin Jianghong to do with the people who kidnapped Mu Yao and the Liu family is all his business, and Jiang Beiran has no interest at all.
"Qing Huan."
Upon hearing the summons from his senior brother, Lu Qinghuan walked quickly to Jiang Beiran's side and shouted: "Senior brother"
"The melon is good, quite sweet." Jiang Beiran said as he handed a piece of watermelon to Gu Qinghuan.
"Thank you, senior brother." He took the watermelon with both hands and took a bite. Gu Qinghuan nodded and said, "It is indeed very sweet."
"How is the withdrawal from Jiyuan Town handled?"
"It has basically been handled properly, and I guarantee that the people in the big families will not be too shocked."
"Well, don't waste the connections you've made here. They might be useful in the future. Also, keep this bottle of Xuanmen Pill and take one pill every three days. It will make your body more suitable for exerting the True Yuan Tiangang Art."
After a large purchase at the Hidden Moon Sect's auction, Jiang Beiran's inventory was filled up a lot, and he was able to refine higher-grade targeted elixirs for several of his juniors.
"Thank you, senior brother." Gu Qinghuan took the blue glass bottle and said respectfully.
"Okay, let's go back to town and finish the rest of the things as soon as possible."
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan cupped his hands towards his senior brother, turned around and left the river.
At night, people in the Hong Mansion could be said to be in a state of panic. Everyone was worried about what happened to the master.
Hong Yaxuan kept wandering at the gate, feeling full of self-blame.
"Little sister, go back to the house, your second brother and I will just wait here." Hong Dingfeng and Hong Yaxuan said.
"No, I want to wait with you." Hong Yaxuan shook her head firmly.
"Be obedient, what you need now is to rest, if..."
"father!"
Just as Jiang Zai Hong Dingfeng was trying to persuade him, Hong Rongxuan shouted in surprise and rushed towards Hong Weitao.
Hugging his second son who rushed towards him, Hong Weitao scolded him: "How old is he and what does he look like?" But his expression was full of relief.
Then Hong Yaxuan quickly followed and threw herself into Hong Weitao's arms, and the tears she had been holding back for a day suddenly burst out.
After rubbing his daughter's hair, Hong Weitao said, "Silly girl, why are you crying? Your father is fine."
"Dad! Ooooh! Daddy..." Hong Yaxuan rubbed her head against Hong Weitao's arms.
"Okay, don't cry. If others see it, they will think that my Hong family is in trouble."
At this time, Hong Dingfeng came up and cupped his hands towards Hong Weitao: "Dad, this time..."
Waving his hand towards the steady eldest son, Hong Weitao said: "It's okay. You all did a good job this time, thank you."
When Hong Weitao said that everything was fine, Hong Dingfeng was actually very surprised. He knew very well what his family had done. How could the devil let the Hong family go so easily?
Soon, all the Hong family members came out after hearing the news, but were soon driven back to the mansion by Hong Weitao.
Late at night, after Hong Weitao had comforted the family and the children, he returned to the study.
Hong Yaxuan, who was still in shock, immediately followed her. Just when she was about to knock on the door, Hong Dingfeng and Hong Rongxuan, who were following her at the same time, shouted: "Little sister, dad has been tired for a day and it's time to rest. Don't disturb him."
.”
Stopping her hand about to knock on the door, Hong Yaxuan looked back at her two brothers and asked, "Eldest brother, second brother, what are you doing here?"
"Let's bring dad a cup of ginseng tea." Hong Dingfeng raised the tray in his hand and said.
"Stop lying to me!" Hong Yaxuan shouted, "You must all know why the devil from Fengzhou came to your door. I am also my father's child. Why do you always hide everything from me?"
"Xiaoya, you misunderstood, we actually don't know either..."
Just when Hong Dingfeng was thinking of words to comfort his sister, the wooden door of the study room was suddenly opened. Hong Weitao stood in front of them and said, "Okay, come in."
"Yes." The three of them answered in unison and walked into the study together.
Looking at his daughter who was still crying, Hong Weitao sighed. He had always wanted to protect the apple of his eye. After this incident, he thought it might be better to let her know something.
After all, this matter is not over just like that. There may be even bigger troubles waiting for them in the future. He must let Hong Yaxuan know the situation at home. In this way, whether it is dealing with the follow-up or escaping, there will still be a direction.
.
Ultimately, he no longer has the confidence to protect this family, so he cannot let his daughter continue to live a carefree life.
After telling Hong Yaxuan about the deal between his family and the Liu family, as well as the matter of helping imprison the Linglong Sect members, Hong Weitao, who seemed to be several years older, said: "Dad also made a mistake at every step, putting the Hong family in this situation.
The dangerous situation is my fault."
Seeing that her normally majestic father, who would bow his head to everyone he saw, suddenly became so "old", Hong Yaxuan felt distressed and stepped forward to hug him.
"Dad, I know you are doing it all for us."
"Alas." Hong Weitao sighed and rubbed Hong Yaxuan's hair, then looked at his two sons and said, "If we hadn't been protected by experts this time, our Hong family would have been in catastrophe."
"Expert!?" Hong Dingfeng and Hong Rongxuan were stunned at the same time. They didn't know which expert could protect their Hong family in such a big event.
Hong Yaxuan's heart trembled, as if she had some realization.
"Yes." Hong Weitao nodded, "Although you two have a good attitude towards those prisoners, we are imprisoning them after all. Logically speaking, even if the leader Yin is not furious, he will never make it easy for us.
But I didn’t expect that not only did he not embarrass me too much, but he also spoke kind words for me when the Sifang Sect leader arrived in person, saving our Hong family from a huge disaster."
Hong Dingfeng was shocked after hearing this and asked: "Does the Sifang Sect already know that we secretly withheld money, food and training resources?"
"Yes, if dad doesn't make this matter clear, wouldn't he really become Liu Mingyuan's accomplice and deliberately go against his Spiritual Dragon Sect?"
Hong Dingfeng nodded with understanding, "Then Master Yin actually has such a great reputation? Can the Sifang Sect not pursue this matter?"
Hong Dingfeng nodded and said: "Of course Sifang Sect is not completely devoid of investigation, it just gave me a chance to make up for my mistakes, but even such an opportunity is already extremely rare, so I decided that there must be an expert protecting us.
, otherwise why would Master Yin help us to this point?"
"Yin Jianghong is a Xuanzong-level expert...who can make him sell face like this?" Hong Dingfeng said in great surprise.
He really couldn't figure out what kind of face could make a Xuanzong-level powerhouse not only not blame them too much, but even help them. Does the Hong family... besides the Sifang Sect, do they have such a backer?
Hong Weitao also nodded with emotion, "Yes, I don't know which master saved my Hong family, but he did give our Hong family a chance to survive a desperate situation. Not only did he avoid this
The huge crisis and even the huge hidden dangers on the Liu family have been eliminated, and it can be said that we have regained a new lease of life."
Hong Rongxuan couldn't help scratching his head after hearing this, and couldn't help but ask: "But dad... if you don't even know, why does that master help my Hong family like this?"
"Well, if I knew, I would have paid a visit long ago, but I really don't know what's going on. I can only say that God has blessed my Hong family."
While Hong Weitao was talking to his two sons, Hong Yaxuan's heart was already in turmoil.
'It's him! It must be him! It can only be him!'
From the beginning to the end, Hong Yaxuan only told Lin Yu's eldest brother about this matter. Since even his father didn't know who protected the Hong family, only that person could take the seat.
Although Hong Yaxuan knew that he must be a great person when he killed a great Xuanzong in an instant, she didn't expect that he could actually ask a Xuanzong to take action!
'Who on earth is he!?'
Thinking of this, Hong Yaxuan felt ashamed that she had blamed the man for bringing such a disaster to the Hong family in the afternoon, so she decided to slap herself twice after going out, and then set up a memorial tablet for him to pay her respects to thank him for his great kindness.
But when she thought of erecting a memorial tablet, Hong Yaxuan was stunned.
Because until now... she still doesn't know what that person's name is.
'Tomorrow...tomorrow I must ask for his name!'
"Xiaoya? Xiaoya?"
"Ah!?" Hong Yaxuan, who felt her body shaking, came back to her senses, looked at her father's worried expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I also want to ask you what's wrong? Why didn't you speak suddenly? Are you scared?"
"Well... I'm really scared." Hong Yaxuan nodded, "Dad... let's live a good life in the future, okay? I won't buy new clothes, and I won't practice cultivation. I just hope that our family can be well."
Listening to his daughter's heart-warming words, Hong Weitao was very moved. He held his daughter in his arms and said, "Okay... Dad will never do risky things again, and live a down-to-earth life from now on."
"Dad, then...should we find a way to find out who the benefactor is?" Hong Rongxuan asked cautiously.
"No." Hong Weitao waved his hand, "If that expert wants us to know him, he will show up naturally. If he doesn't want us to know him, we shouldn't do anything extra. Otherwise, it will be self-defeating. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand, kid." Hong Dingfeng and Hong Rongxuan said at the same time.
Hong Yaxuan, who was in Hong Weitao's arms, also secretly swore in her heart.
'Without his permission, I will never mention him to anyone in the future, but... I don't know who he is.'
The next day at Shenshi, Hong Yaxuan came to the pavilion carrying a basket. She was so nervous that she didn't dare to go in.
'Would he be angry if I didn't come yesterday...'
'A man of his ability... must have guessed that I said bad things about him in my heart.'
'But I didn't mean it...who told him not to tell me anything.'
'The big deal...I'll just apologize to him any way he wants me to.'
After tidying up her clothes, she took out a stick of lipstick that she was usually reluctant to use and wiped her lips. Hong Yaxuan took a deep breath and walked into the pavilion cautiously.
"Oh, you're here." Luo Wenzhou, who was sitting in front of the round table, looked at Hong Yaxuan and said with a smile.
Seeing Luo Wenzhou, Hong Yaxuan bowed directly and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't come yesterday. I..."
"No need to apologize, my eldest brother had expected it, but he said you would definitely come today, so he asked me to wait."
Quietly raising her head, Hong Yaxuan looked around the pavilion and said, "You...oh no, your eldest brother, didn't you come today?"
"Well, now that the matter has been resolved, my eldest brother doesn't like to stay in the same place for too long."
"Ah!?" Hong Yaxuan exclaimed, "Has he left town?"
"Yeah." Luo Wenzhou nodded.
"But...but I haven't thanked him yet."
"Brother asked me to convey to you that he is not helping you for you, so you don't have to worry about it. If you really want to thank him, just don't mention it to anyone."
"I swear! I have never mentioned it to anyone, and I promise I will never tell anyone in the future."
"Okay, then I'll take a step forward and say goodbye."
"Wait!" Hong Yaxuan shouted.
"Is there anything else?" Luo Wenzhou turned around and asked.
"I made some sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Can you please give it to him?"
"No need, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet my eldest brother in the near future, so I won't be able to help you transfer it."
As soon as Luo Wenzhou finished speaking, he saw Hong Yaxuan kneeling on the ground with a pop.
"I'm really, really grateful to him. Even if he said he wasn't trying to help me, he still saved the lives of my family. Just keep this box of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and please help me convey my gratitude.
"
"this……"
Seeing Hong Yaxuan kneeling on the ground and holding the food box with both hands, Luo Wenzhou sighed and said, "Okay, I will convey it to you."
"Thank you, thank you."
When Luo Wenzhou walked away, Hong Yaxuan stood up slowly, looked at the sky and swore secretly.
'Although I can't do anything now, I must work hard and try to help him one day in the future.'
