Chapter 37 Temptation
"Miss, don't think too much." Xiaoqing whispered from the side.
Xiao Lian's face turned red at first and immediately returned to normal: "Who missed him?"
Xiaoqing smiled aside and stopped talking.
Xu Chen returned to the room to pack up his things and sorted out the clothes Xiao Lian gave him in his bag. He thought that Xiao Lian was actually very nice to him, but he had to leave without giving him a reason. It was indeed not very good.
Xu Chen packed his luggage, leaving the brush and folding fan that Zhang Yun gave yesterday in the room without taking it away. Then he looked at the sword of salute and the knife of the ring, and then took it all with him after thinking about it.
Although the sword of ritual cannot be used for actual combat, it should be fine to practice and learn Mozi's sword technique. I don't use it to chop things myself, and I just wear it with a sword on the ring head to protect myself.
After taking the thing, I left the room and thought that I might as well say goodbye to Xiao Lian again, after all, I was quite embarrassed.
Xiao Lian was in a daze, but unexpectedly, Xu Chen suddenly appeared with his luggage, carrying a ring-headed knife and holding a sword on his waist, which looked quite strange.
"What are you here again?"
"Come and say goodbye to the eldest lady." Xu Chen said with a smile.
Xiao Lian couldn't help but feel angry: "You come if you want to come, and leave if you want to leave, why don't you say no!"
"Hey, don't be angry." Xu Chen approached Xiao Lian and started coaxing him.
In the end, Xu Chen told the reason why he went to Zhang's mansion.
Xiao Lian couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "Fufeng Town Wang Family? If they really want to take action, I have to talk to my father."
"No need, this time the matter is not big. The matter between the younger generations will not rise to the point where the elders will solve it, otherwise I will take care of Zhang Yun." Xu Chen said with a smile, "I didn't want to say it out loud, but I just thought that the eldest lady was a girl's family after all, and it was always not good to listen to these things. But after I went back, I felt that it was a bit sorry for the eldest lady's care for me, so I ran back."
Xiao Lian snorted, but she was extremely happy inside: "Who cares about you?"
"Miss, I really set out this time. I will come back in a while. I will also be concerned about Fulai Inn. Don't worry about me."
"I'm not worried about you!" Xiao Lianyan couldn't help but feel attentive. She turned around and said to Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, don't let Mr. Xu take so much luggage by himself. You can accompany him and send Mr. Xu to Zhang's mansion."
Xu Chen had too many luggage, just a bag of bags and a sword and a ring-headed sword. It was just a bit indecent to take so many things as Xu Chen.
"It's okay, I'll do it myself."
Xiaoqing smiled and hurried over to grab the bag, and said slowly: "Young master, just accept the good intentions of the young lady, otherwise the young lady will lose her temper again."
"What are you talking nonsense?" the eldest lady said shyly.
Seeing this, Xu Chen had to accept it with a smile, and the two left the backyard, leaving Xiao Lian alone.
After this, Xiao Lian, who was originally confused, felt much more relieved. She hummed the tune of "The Immortal in the Painting" that she had just learned and turned back to the room.
Xiaoqing can be considered a life and death with Xu Chen. Although he didn't help much, he just helped him without helping. The two of them experienced that incident at the same time, so Xu Chen was quite kind to Xiao Qing.
"After that incident, you didn't have nightmares when you sleep." Xu Chen smiled and joked on the way.
"Fortunately, that kind of thing happened at that time, and my feet were so weak that I couldn't stand up straight." Xiaoqing said with a smile, "It's just the young lady and the young master who are very skilled and brave, and their faces are not changed."
Xu Chen laughed: "My face must have changed, but you didn't see it. By the way, the eldest lady is a capable person, and I'm nothing." Thinking of Xiao Lian, who was about to die with her body at that time, couldn't help but sigh. Who could have thought that Xiao Lian, who looked so soft and weak, would be able to stand up without fear when he was afraid of it.
Xiaoqing shook her head and said, "Young Master is joking. The young lady often mentions it to me at that time, saying that if the young master had not rescued him, how could this day be there."
Xu Chen smiled and said nothing. He just knew many situations by himself. It was not so easy for him to survive that period.
When they arrived at Zhang's mansion, the servants at the door had already received the news and hurriedly led Xu Chen and the others to the guest room in the backyard.
In the room, Xiaoqing took out all Xu Chen's luggage and clothes, and also took off Xu Chen's ring-headed knife and hanged it up. He even talked about Xu Chen's lifestyle habits with the maid who specialized in serving Xu Chen in the yard, such as not disturbing him at will, not having to prepare breakfast for him in the morning, etc.
Xu Chen stood aside and watched, feeling that Xiaoqing was really concerned. Perhaps Xiaoqing could only be so awakened to be a personal maid next to Xiao Lian.
Seeing that she had done almost everything, Xiaoqing said to Xu Chen and got up and went back.
"Brother Chen came so quickly. I told my father and mother about you. Let's have dinner tonight!" Zhang Yun hurriedly found him after hearing the news.
"Of course there is no problem. Speaking of secrets, why don't you tell Mr. Zhang?"
"I told you about that, it doesn't matter." Brother Yun smiled and patted his chest.
Seeing Zhang Yun like this, Xu Chen couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
When it was dinner time, the Zhang family sat around, and when Zhang's mother saw Xu Chen, she seemed to see her second son. She was so kind that she picked up food and added soup.
Xu Chen could only keep thanking Zhang's mother for her care.
Zhang's mother was extremely doting on her son. She had a great affection for Xu Chen after she had an accident last time. Now because of Zhang Yun's affairs, Xu Chen even brought him over to take care of Zhang Yun, so she was of course extremely grateful.
"Mom, it's almost the same." Zhang Yun frowned, "Brother Chen's bowl has to be stacked with chopsticks, so will he still give it to anyone to eat."
Of course, the food in Xu Chen's bowl was not as scary as it was, but it was almost the same.
"Look at what you said, Mr. Xu once saved you, but now he is here to visit your house again..." Zhang's mother nagged.
Xu Chen quickly interrupted and said, "Madam, don't call me a young master."
"Yes, yes." Zhang Yun echoed.
Mr. Zhang coughed: "Mr. Xu, since you and Yun'er call each other brothers, I'm not polite to call you a nephew."
"Should this be the case." Xu Chen responded.
"Nephew Xu, you are still young and shouldn't have let you deal with this matter, but I heard Yun'er say that you are from a gangster and lake, and you can also have some fighting skills in the gangster and lake." Mr. Zhang and Zhang Yun were a little different, not as good as Zhang Yun.
"Yes, I've learned some later."
"You were kind to help Yun'er, I shouldn't question anything, but my nephew is really young..." Mr. Zhang suddenly stopped.
"Mr. Zhang said it's okay." Xu Chenying.
"Let's do this. After dinner, you can compete with my friend and let me see how capable my nephew is."
Zhang Yun frowned when he heard this. He had never heard his father say this. He became anxious: "Dad, why are you doing this?"
"Yes, master, Xu... he is a guest after all." Zhang's mother also persuaded him.
Zhang's father narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Chen, and slowly said, "It doesn't matter if Nephew Xu doesn't want to do so, and I'm useless that secret book. I'll give it to you to repay the favor of saving you last time, but I won't mention the matter of protecting Yun'er, okay?"
Xu Chen stood up and smiled slightly, bowed to Mr. Zhang and said, "It's just a matter of competition, but why not? Let's take it next."
