616: Chapter 605

“Vermilion Bird’s coffee house, it’s right here.”

“This place?” Song Yun glanced at the coffee house that seed to have a bit of a petty bourgeois vibe and asked.

“Yep, co on in.” Qingluan led the way, opened the door, and then Song Yun followed her inside.

Inside the coffee house, there were only two people, one was a tyrant, and the other, obviously not an ordinary person, was wearing a high-slit cheongsam with a cigarette pinched in her hand.

If Song Yun hadn’t known in advance that this woman was nearly forty this year, he would have thought she was a young housewife.

“You just can’t get rid of the bumpkin in you for the rest of your life.” The woman looked at the tyrant with a bit of disdain.

And the tyrant, who was known as the King of Soldiers in the rcenary World, appeared to be like a well-behaved child at the mont, chuckling, “How am I a bumpkin, look what I’m wearing and carrying today, those are all international brands!!” He said, jumping in front of the woman, “On the outside, I even brought a few underlings with .

You see, now Sunan, my nephew has the final say, which ans I have the final say, understand?

If I’m still a bumpkin, then there aren’t many in Sunan who aren’t.”

“You always need external things to boost yourself, if you don’t change this, you’ll always be a bumpkin.” The woman spoke and then turned to smile at Song Yun and Qingluan, “Qingluan, this is Ergou’s son, right?”

“Yep, that’s right, Song Yun, say hello to Sister Que.” Qingluan said.

“Hello, Sister Que.” Song Yun said respectfully.

After all, this was soone from his father’s generation and deserved the proper respect.

“Mm-hmm, a polite child.

You, your martial uncle, and even your master don’t seem alike at all!!” Vermilion Bird laughed.

“Your martial uncle will never understand how to write the word ‘manners.'”

“Heh, my martial uncle is just informal.” Song Yun defended the tyrant, “A man as magnanimous as my martial uncle follows the unrestrained path.

If he were to take the idol route like , it would be a bit awkward.”

The tyrant was very pleased when he heard Song Yun making excuses for him, but his face darkened when he realized there was more to the sentence, asking, “So are you saying your martial uncle isn’t handso enough?”

“It’s a different style.” Song Yun scratched his head, “So people don’t need to be handso.

They have a completely different charisma, which equally makes countless won’s hearts flutter.

Martial uncle, you’re one of those people.”

“Smart talker, I knew you had a way with words.

Mm, and Vermilion Bird, back in the day, was a close friend of mine; you should treat her with the respect you would give a martial aunt, got it?” the tyrant instructed.

“Bumpkin, what are you talking about?” Vermilion Bird’s phoenix eyes flared, “Who’s your close friend?

Ergou and I were close friends, that’s more like it.

But, oddly enough, with your temperant, how could you accept Song Yun?

Back then, you weren’t willing to give in to Yaksha at all.”

Song Yun curiously looked at the tyrant, seeing as he and Vermilion Bird were so familiar, and since Vermilion Bird and his father were known as the Five Young Masters of the Capital, their social circles must have also been largely intertwined.

“That’s right!!” It suddenly dawned on Song Yun that if Vermilion Bird was one of the Five Young Masters, being a woman, how could she be referred to as a ‘Young Master’?

Could it be that Vermilion Bird was a true manly figure like Brother Chun back then?

“This, Song Yun, you should be thankful you have a good father.” The tyrant mused for a mont before saying, “Actually, when I learned you were my senior brother’s disciple, I wasn’t planning to help you, but your father asked

to teach you, so I did.”

“My dad?” Song Yun said in surprise, “Martial uncle, were you and my dad close?”

“Well…” The tyrant’s face suddenly showed an awkward expression, “Our relationship is actually quite complicated.”

“Pfft, you dared to do it back then but now you can’t even talk about it?” Vermilion Bird’s face was full of disdain, and then she spoke softly to Song Yun.

“Song Yun, the tyrant more than twenty years ago was also part of the Yanjing scene, and later, ah, he fell for a girl.

The problem was that the girl already had soone she liked, so she rejected him.

But who could expect this bumpkin to use the most bumpkin way to challenge that girl’s man to a duel?

Although the bumpkin wasn’t that famous in Beijing back then, he was quite well-known in the rcenary World.

Relying on his skills, he didn’t take that girl’s man seriously at all.

So, ah, bumpkin, what was the outco?” Vermilion Bird teased as she looked at the tyrant.

The tyrant looked even more embarrassed, hesitated for a long while, and then sighed, saying, “Back then, I sought out that man for a duel, and…sigh, I ended up with four broken ribs and even had my limbs broken by him.”

“Holy crap, who was that capable?” Song Yun asked in amazent.

Although his martial uncle wasn’t very powerful, especially compared to his old man, he still had pretty decent martial arts skills.

“Well, that person is your father, Ergou, ahem, also known as Bai Ze in our Jingjin area.” The tyrant said sheepishly, rubbing his head.

“Then…

that woman…

it couldn’t be!!!” Song Yun’s face was full of surprise.

“Well, that woman is your mother, known as the most beautiful woman in the north, and nicknad ‘Fairy’—Ye Qingsi.” The tyrant looked even more embarrassed.

Oh my god!!!

His martial uncle was his dad’s old love rival and even got his ribs and limbs broken by his father, this…

Song Yun suddenly felt a chill as he broke out in sweat.

Back when he first t the tyrant, if the tyrant had held a grudge, he would have been clueless on how to face death.

“Sigh, those are all bygone days now.” The tyrant had a look of painful mories.

“Pfft, that’s just a tiny bit of the story.

If you’re a man, keep talking.” Vermilion Bird said with disdain.

“Well, it’s better not to speak of it anymore, these young people…

if I were to continue, where would I put this old face of mine?” The tyrant chuckled awkwardly.

“Your old face?

You lost that a long ti ago in front of everyone, Song Yun, let

tell you, afterward, when this bumpkin recovered from his injuries, he began pursuing another woman, and that woman, back then, was one of your father’s lovers.”

“Damn, this is too shocking!” Song Yun was utterly stunned.

“Song Yun, you’re also an adult now, so I don’t mind telling you this stuff.

Back then, among the Four Beauties of the Capital, there was one imperial flower of the Yanjing Tai Sui Army, the thorny rose from the Forbidden City, and the lily of the town—your dad was the one who captivated them all.

Then, how should I put it, they willingly beca your dad’s confidantes.

Yep, that’s right, confidantes.

These won later followed your father when he left the mainland, causing a sudden drop in the level of beauties in Beijing at the ti.” Vermilion Bird said.
