Chapter 16 Visitors
Chapter 16 Visitors
Even though Chu Tian has always been calm, he was speechless after hearing this.
It hasn’t been a few days since his second brother brought Junior Sister Wen back, but Chu Tian still discovered that... Junior Sister Wen is very strange.
He is taciturn, but that doesn't mean he is cold-tempered.
In fact, he is lively and active. He can't sit still every day. He is either strolling here or there.
Every time I come back, I must bring some things with me.
A broken bowl of unknown origin, a torn face towel, a blood-stained dagger...
Chu Tian felt that it would not be surprising if this girl suddenly picked up a corpse one day.
Although it may seem a bit rude to think of her younger brother's junior sister like this, that's the feeling she gives people.
But at this moment, he looked at the carrying pole thoughtfully:
"Where did you pick it up?"
Junior Sister Wen answered every question. Although she was very indifferent, she still pointed in a direction:
"In the rockery over there."
Chu Tian didn't ask her why she was wandering around the rockery, he just nodded:
"So he came in disguised as a porter."
"What happened?"
Chu Fan asked hurriedly at this time.
"Some scoundrels broke in, and for some unknown reason a fight broke out. One of them died, and another one should be inside the mansion.
"Let's go and report to Dad.
"I'm afraid there will be some uninvited guests at today's banquet."
"Uninvited guest? Who?"
Seeing Chu Tian already walking towards the door, Chu Fan hurriedly asked.
Chu Tian spat out three words without even turning his head:
"Mirror of Evil."
……
……
The chaos at the Chu family in the morning was unknown to outsiders.
In a blink of an eye, the sun was shining brightly and the front door of the Chu family was gradually filled with people.
After all, it was Chu Yunfei who hosted the banquet, so all the well-known people in the vicinity of Tianwu City, who had some reputation in the martial arts world, all swarmed over.
The chief steward Zhou Miao welcomed the guests with a smile, took the invitations and gift lists, and asked the servants to sing the greetings loudly.
The visitor bowed, clasped his hands together, said congratulations, and walked into the courtyard.
In just a few moments, the entire yard was full.
Those who were not of high status could not enter the Chu family, so they had to send gifts and business cards, and then sit outside and wait for the banquet.
In the midst of the excitement, someone shouted loudly:
"Liu Shijie from Luoyu Hall has arrived!"
Before the sound died down, a burst of laughter was heard:
"I have wanted to visit our Taiyi Sect's top disciple a few days ago, but I was worried about being too abrupt. I will host a banquet today and I must take a good look at Chu Family Qilinzi.
"Where is my nephew Chu Fan?"
As the voice rang out, a middle-aged man and a handsome young man walked into the courtyard.
He has a loud voice, but his body is not big, but rather thin.
He has a handsome appearance, a fair face and no beard, a square scarf on his head, and a long robe with wide sleeves. He looks like a middle-aged scholar, but his heroic temperament is not comparable to that of ordinary scholars.
Seeing this person, the guests around him stood up and clasped their fists.
He responded one by one, with a smile on his face, neither hurried nor slow.
At this time, Chu Tian's voice rang in everyone's ears:
"So it's Young Hall Master Tang and Deputy Hall Master Liu who have arrived. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope you can forgive me."
The crowd naturally parted, and Chu Tian, with a smile on his face, led Chu Fan to the front, but Junior Sister Wen was nowhere to be seen.
The young man following Liu Shijie smiled in silence:
"Brother Chu, you are too polite. We are not new acquaintances, so why should we be so polite?
"My father wanted to come here in person this time, but he was busy with many things in the hall, so he asked Uncle Liu to come with me." Chu Tian smiled:
"It is a great honor for our humble home to have the young master here. How can it be considered as a nuisance?"
Then he introduced it to Chu Fan next to him:
"These two are Luoyu Hall's Young Master Tang Xi and Deputy Hall Master Liu Shijie."
"Chu Fan greets you two."
Chu Fan clasped his fists towards them.
Liu Shijie looked at him and nodded repeatedly:
"As expected of the Chu family's Qilin son, he is indeed a handsome man!
“However, your eldest brother is a dragon among men. The hall master once said that Chu Tian is the leader among the younger generation.
"I really envy Master Chu. The reputation of the Chu family's twin heroes is well-deserved."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone in the room changed.
I feel that this is a bit unkind... Chu Yunfei is holding a banquet today to celebrate Chu Fan's return home after completing his art studies.
It was reasonable for Liu Shijie to praise Chu Fan, and it was also not unexpected that he praised Chu Tian.
But to say Chu Fan is just a good-looking guy, to say Chu Tian is a leader...
What should Chu Fan think about this?
Everyone exchanged glances, with different thoughts in their minds.
In the corner, a young man dressed as a servant was busy serving tea and snacks to each table.
Hearing this, he turned around and glanced at Liu Shijie out of the corner of his eye.
"Liu Shijie from Luoyu Hall... I've heard of this name."
This young man is naturally Chu Qing.
After killing the assassin, he used the sound of tiles to lead everyone to the courtyard, and he used this as an excuse to escape.
He quickly found a set of servant's clothes and changed into them.
Before the banquet started, he had been meditating in the mansion.
He was very familiar with this place. He knew clearly where there were people and where there were no people, where the secret passages were, and where the gold and silver were hidden.
If he wanted to hide, even Chu Yunfei might not be able to find him.
When the banquet started, he sneaked in among the servants.
In such a busy day, who could have noticed that there was an inconspicuous servant in the field?
But when I heard the name of Liu Shijie from Luoyu Hall just now, I remembered the previous execution of the Seven Iron Horse Thieves.
The bandit leader and the third brother once discussed their next plan, and mentioned that they would go to seek refuge with Liu Shijie of Luoyu Hall.
Chu Qing didn't think much about it at that time, but now it seems that this Luoyu Hall is not simple.
The Seven Iron Horse Thieves caused chaos at the border of Tianwu City's sphere of influence. Wu Ganqi ordered the Tianwu Guards to strangle them several times, but they escaped every time.
This ability to predict the future is probably related to Deputy Hall Master Liu.
As I was thinking this, I heard Chu Fan speak coldly:
"Senior Liu, be careful with your words. There are three brothers in my Chu family, but where do the Chu brothers put my third brother? Please don't mention it again."
Chu Qing was speechless for a moment when he heard this.
This second brother... really doesn't leave any room for maneuver when he speaks.
As expected, Liu Shijie was speechless. He looked at Chu Tian and saw that Chu Tian was looking at his nose, his nose at his mouth, and his mouth at his heart, as if he didn't hear what Chu Fan said.
Just when I felt embarrassed, I heard Tang Xi speak quickly:
“Brother Chu Fan is indeed straightforward. I heard that Brother Chu Fan was born in Taiyi Sect and is a disciple of Senior Cui Bunu Cui, the master of the Bu wrathful fist.
"It just so happens that I have a question about martial arts, and I have nowhere to turn to for help. I wonder if Big Brother Chu Fan can give me some pointers?"
This is obviously an attempt to smooth things over.
But Chu Fan didn't seem to understand what he meant, and his eyes narrowed:
"Oh? Young Master Tang wants to learn from me? That's great. I also want to see the magical skills of Luoyu Hall!"
Having said this, I took a step forward.
As the internal energy rolled, a majestic momentum suddenly unfolded.
Tang Xi's face turned black... Where did this reckless person come from? He wanted to hit someone just because he didn't agree with someone?
Just as I was thinking about how to respond, I heard the servant at the door speak loudly:
"Miss Wu from Tianwu City has arrived~~~~~"
"what?"
Chu Qing, who was about to watch Chu Fan beat Tang Xi, was stunned. Didn’t they agree not to come?
How come your words don't count?
