This sentence made the atmosphere in the dining room different.

Although the purpose of the Liang family is unknown, Wang Sancai and Mr. Hai both know that the Liang family sent someone this time must be related to Bai Xiao’s affairs!

But the key is that Zhuang Yan doesn’t know what Bai Xiao is doing!

The two couldn't help but look at each other, and they both secretly felt sweat.

Mr. Long looked up at the door, then lowered his head and ate the food in the bowl. Looking at the chewing slowly, he seemed to be not going to speak anymore.

Zhuang Yan pondered for a moment and said with a slight sarcastic feeling: "Hmph, I'm coming to you so anxious."

Then, he shouted loudly to the door: "How many people have come?"

"Two, sir." The voice outside the door replied quickly.

Solemn and meditated for a moment: "Let them go to the study and find me, you go."

"Yes." Then, the footsteps became farther and farther away.

"Brother Long and Brother Hai will go with me." Zhuang Yan stood up and then looked at Wang Sancai: "Sancai, their coming this time must be related to you. You can go together, but you can't let them see it."

"I understand." Wang Sancai nodded and stood up. Seeing that Zhuang Yan had left the festival and walked towards the door, he couldn't help but look at Mr. Hai.

Mr. Hai did not speak, and took advantage of the time to get up to wink at Wang Sancai with a sense of peace. His back blocked Mr. Long's view while sitting in the corner, and did not let Mr. Long see the fleeting uneasiness on Wang Sancai's face.

So, Fang Tong was left waiting in the dining room, and the four of them left the kitchen. Wang Sancai followed Zhuang Yan. Before he took two steps, he suddenly felt that his shoulder was being grabbed.

Looking back, it was Aning.

Aning is tall, but she doesn't have the soft temperament that a woman should have. Even with the maid's outfit, Wang Sancai can still feel the fortitude that only a man can have from her body and her cold face.

At the beginning, Wang Sancai hadn't noticed it yet, but now it was close. Wang Sancai found that the skin on the half of her face under the long bangs on one side was red, and a layer of wrinkled skin could be seen vaguely. Although only a small piece of cheek was damaged and did not reach the corner of her eyes, Aning seemed to be very sensitive to it. Seeing that Wang Sancai was suspiciously staring at his face, he immediately turned his head and looked at Wang Sancai slanted, preventing him from seeing inside his bangs.

"Sorry." Wang Sancai took the initiative to move away from his gaze. Thinking of Zhuang Biyun's previous instructions, he whispered: "Now I want to go to the study with Uncle Zhuang. You can wait for me here. I will come back later and go to find Miss Zhuang with you."

Aning didn't say anything, and didn't even light his head. He just owed slightly and retreated back to the entrance of the dining room.

Wang Sancai looked at his slender but resolute back, especially as she was holding the handle of the dagger at her waist intentionally or unintentionally, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.

When he came to the dining room with Zhuang Biyun and Mr. Hai, he was sure that Aning was not here, and he didn't know when she came, but he could make it clear that she was Zhuang Biyun's private guard. Zhuang Biyun has some strength and can become her guard, so his strength must be above Zhuang Biyun.

However, it seems that Zhuang Biyun doesn’t like Aning very much, otherwise Zhuang Biyun wouldn’t have rather let other soldiers escort him, but he keeps Aning here, and the reason is just... to lead the way!

Wang Sancai was also a little curious about why Zhuang Yan did not insist on ordering Aning to escort Zhuang Biyun. If Zhuang Biyun encountered danger on the way back, could a military guard have any effect?

It is probably not as effective as Zhuang Biyun's little strength!

However, Wang Sancai didn't think much about it. Seeing Zhuang Yan and the other two waiting for him, he quickly turned around and chased after him.

"Are you curious about her?" Zhuang Yan glanced slightly at Aning, who was standing at the door of the dining room without looking at her.

When Wang Sancai was suddenly asked about this, he felt a little embarrassed: "No, but I found that she was quite strange... It seems that the maid shouldn't know how to practice, right?"

In fact, Wang Sancai wanted to say that he had never seen a woman in this world who knew how to practice besides Zhuang Biyun!

Zhuang Biyun is the "princess" of the big family. It's nothing to know a little about cultivation, but a maid...?

Wang Sancai has never seen things like "cultivation academy" that only happens in novels in this world. Obviously, not everyone can practice it.

Moreover, Wang Sancai vaguely felt that the status of women in this world is not high.

Zhuang Yan waved her hand and signaled Wang Sancai and the other two to follow her, and said, "She is not a maid, she is wearing a maid's clothes just to make it easier for her to walk in the manor."

"Oh? Is her status very high?" Wang Sancai couldn't help but wonder why she knew how to practice, but as soon as she said this, she wanted to slap herself. If Aning had a high status, she could still fall to the point of being a guard for Zhuang Biyun?

Sure enough, Zhuang Yan explained with a smile: "She is a professional killer I invited from the Dark Sect for a lot of money. The Dark Sect will not take over the protection of people, but for the sake of my identity, she still helped me. However, they demanded that the dignity of the killer should not be insulted. So, I discussed with Aning from the beginning and only asked her to be responsible for Xiaoyun. Listen to Xiaoyun alone, no one else, including me, could order her."

Hearing this explanation, Wang Sancai suddenly realized why Zhuang Yan did not order Aning to force Zhuang Biyun back.

The word Dark Sect was heard from Zhuang Biyun when he first came to this world. Later, when he was free, he also communicated privately with Bai Xiao and Fang Tong, and learned some of the rules and scales of Dark Sect, etc.

The Dark Sect is different from the nature of a family. It is a relatively "free" organization. There is a place for the Dark Sect organization on the territory of each kingdom and every family. Generally speaking, anyone can join the Dark Sect and choose to become an "assassin" or a "killer". Judging the status and basic fees in the Dark Sect by completing the task and the difficulty coefficient.

For example, some killers with high status and strength, many people will offer high prices to ask for them to take action, but whether they want to take action for this depends on whether the killer is willing to do so.

In general, the Dark Sect's status in this world is not inferior to any family. The difference is that the family only cultivates refined dead soldiers, while all the experiences and skills of the Dark Sect's killers are the experiences they summarized every time they undertake a task.

At least, there is nothing more professional in the way of assassination than a killer!

It is indeed much better to invite an experienced killer for Zhuang Biyun than to send a few loyal and rigid deadly soldiers.

However, Wang Sancai did not want Zhuang Yan to misunderstand that he wanted to interfere in his banker's "internal affairs". After Zhuang Yan explained Aning's identity, he did not continue to ask questions.

But in my heart, I was still very curious about why Aning, a woman, understood the way of cultivation, and even joined the Dark Sect organization.

The study room was not far from the dining room. When the group of four arrived at the study room, the two Liang family visitors were not brought.

Wang Sancai glanced at the study and saw the dim light on a bookshelf in the corner. He pointed to that place and said, "Uncle Zhuang, I'll hide behind that bookshelf. Hidden there, the Liang family probably won't notice me."

Zhuang Yan turned his head and glanced at the bookshelf that Wang Sancai pointed to, and agreed, "Okay, you'll come out after the matter is over."

After Wang Sancai walked behind the bookshelf, he unexpectedly found that there was still a lot of space behind the bookshelf. Even if there was a bed behind the bookshelf, there was still plenty.

Wang Sancai stood behind the bookshelf and looked at Zhuang Yan and the other two through the book space behind the bookshelf. He found that the bookshelf was indeed a dead corner. Not only did the people walking in at the door unable to see the place at first glance, but even if they stood at the door or tilted their heads on a chair, they could not see the place where they were standing.

Unless you are interested in reading, you can notice yourself looking at them through the gaps between books.

But obviously, the Liang family would not deliberately look at the solemn study.

Realizing this, Wang Sancai was slightly relieved.

Seeing that the two Liang family members had not been brought in, Wang Sancai couldn't help but look at the rows of books in front of him curiously.

He found that every book was wiped clean by his servants every day, without a trace of dust on it, and the books on the bookshelf in the corner were obviously not solemn and often read. Even if there was no dust, Wang Sancai could see the traces of time left on the yellowed pages.

Suddenly, he noticed an old book that was about the thickness of his thumb. The pages of the old book had turned yellow, but they looked very neat and did not seem to have been turned.

However, Wang Sancai was immediately attracted by the title of the book when he saw it.

Because, the name of this book is "The Origin of Chinese Characters".

Chinese characters!! The characters in this world are actually called Chinese characters!

Wang Sancai only felt his heart jumping wildly in an instant!!

However, before he could think too much, he heard the solemn and asked the servant to go out and said to Mr. Hai who was sitting beside him: "We haven't finished talking about the things we talked about in the dining hall..."

Mr. Hai lowered his head sideways.

"Although the credit was not obtained by you alone, the fault did not lead to the occurrence of things that were unfavorable to the family. Let's do this..." Zhuang Yan took a breath and put down the teacup in his hand: "For the sake of your consideration for the family, the merits and demerits have been offset. I will not reward you, nor will I punish you."

"Thank you, the patriarch!" Mr. Hai's face relaxed and he was immediately overjoyed.

Mr. Long, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but snorted softly when he saw Mr. Hai's expression of joy, lowered his head and drank the tea in the cup, while Mr. Hai automatically ignored Mr. Long's disdain.

Wang Sancai was a little strange. Mr. Hai should understand that Zhuangyan would not punish him. Is he so happy to use it? Doesn’t he understand Zhuangyan’s character?

Or just to "satisfie to the solemn god"?

The thought flew in a flash. I thought that Wang Sancai discovered that Zhuang Yan and the other two had closed their mouths. Subconsciously looked at the door. He saw two men in cloaks following behind a soldier not far away, and could vaguely see the word "liang" from the position of the cuff!

The three of them were walking towards the study, and Wang Sancai felt his heart approaching and slowly lifted up as the three of them. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!)
