Chapter 364: Chapter 364 Unexpected Turn of Events_1
Upon seeing Mo Shaoyun and Zhu Qing’s faces turn unpleasant, seemingly angry again, Zhang Xian was sowhat puzzled.
What’s going on? He had spoken candidly, why are these two won still angry? Can they stop leaving him in the dark?
Mo Shaoyun gave Zhang Xian a glance, then got up and headed upstairs.
Seeing Mo Shaoyun leaving, Zhu Qing quickly followed.
"Hey..."
Zhang Xian’s mouth twitched unnaturally a few tis as he asked Xiao Nan, "Sister Nan, I don’t think I’ve offended them, have I? Why are they strangely angry again?"
"The way you spoke earlier was a bit inappropriate. It gave them the impression that you had given up and stopped caring,"
Xiao Nan said with a bitter smile, "In my opinion, you should stop explaining. There may be opportunities in the future to clear up the misunderstandings, but it’s up to you to seize them, I can’t help you."
"Really?" Zhang Xian touched the back of his head, muttering to himself.
Dong Qian stood up and said, "Brother Zhang Xian, won are very sensitive when they are angry. They can sense even the slightest irregularity, rember to be careful next ti!"
Zhang Xian said, "I didn’t an it that way!"
Dong Qian replied, "Brother Zhang Xian, why are you so slow? If everyone were as understanding, would there be conflicts?"
Zhang Xian slapped his forehead, his face full of wry smiles.
"I’m going upstairs now." Dong Qian smiled at Zhang Xian and ran upstairs.
Wen Yulan seeing that most people had left, dared not stay any longer, lest she be cornered downstairs by Zhang Xian and teased relentlessly.
"I’m also going upstairs." Duan Hong stood up.
Zhang Xian grabbed Duan Hong and asked, "Elder Sister Hong, everyone’s gone, won’t you stay and keep
company? Didn’t you see how miserable I am right now?"
"Alright! I won’t leave."
Duan Hong sat back on the sofa and said, "However, I can’t comfort you. I’m terrible at comforting others and I have no idea how to handle your situation."
"No need for other comforts, your company is enough." Zhang Xian hugged Duan Hong and started groping.
Duan Hong rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian, didn’t struggle, and let Zhang Xian fool around.
"Ding-a-ling..."
Suddenly, the sound of a phone ringing broke the mont.
Zhang Xian checked his phone and seeing it was Mu Cheng calling, he answered, "Elder Sister Cheng, you must be missing , right?"
"Miss your head."
Mu Cheng asked, "How’s things going over there?"
"It’s okay here, the pressure is a bit much, but I can handle it."
Zhang Xian frowned, asking, "What? Is there a problem on your end? Is that Eighth Brother showing off again? Or did Da ng and his gang misbehave?"
"No, Da ng and his guys are good. I’m just a bit overwheld. You have a lot of won around you, can you spare one to co over and help ?"
Zhang Xian said with a bitter smile, "Really?"
"How can it not be? At first, I thought it would be easy, but when I really got to work, I found it was not as simple as I thought. If you don’t send soone over, I won’t supply you with herbs."
Zhang Xian asked, "Who do you want
to send to help you?"
"Qingqing is my cousin of course I expect her to co! It’s been a long ti since we’ve seen each other."
Zhang Xian replied, "Well, I’m currently at odds with Qingqing... Can we pick soone else? Elder Sister iting, Elder Sister Hong, and Qianqian, you seem to know all of them."
"Why are you at odds with Qingqing again? Besides, what does Qingqing’s arrival have to do with your conflict? Don’t tell
you’re reluctant to let Qingqing co and help ? I am her sister."
Zhang Xian hesitated for a mont, and said, "Alright, I’ll talk to her about it. But I don’t have ti to deliver her right now, we’ll have to wait."
"You can’t spare the ti? Actually, I called today for another matter. I noticed you are particularly interested in herbs. Although I don’t know what you’re up to, there’s a trade eting in Yunlong Town not far from us. I think you would be interested. If you are free, you can bring Qingqing along, otherwise, I’ll wait."
Zhang Xian beca interested, "What kind of trade eting?"
"I am not quite sure either. It was Da ng who told . I find such trade etings quite strange, they’re usually have all kind of weird stuff."
"Weird stuff?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Xian had a flash of inspiration.
Underground trade places and black markets are not uncommon. Things like precious herbs and antiquities can be seen in black markets or underground trade venues.
However, the "weird stuff" that Mu Cheng ntioned, definitely required his attention. Since it’s described as weird, it is not sothing ordinary people would be interested in.
Isn’t it those ancient martial arts practitioners who transcend ordinary people? Such trade etings would presumably be organized by ancient martial artists.
Sotis, what appears strange and peculiar to ordinary people could be rare and precious treasures to ancient martial artists.
With this in mind, he promptly asked, "When does it start?"
"In three days. If you leave now, you should be able to make it. When you arrive, head to Yuntai Town, I will et you there."
Zhang Xian thought for a mont, then replied, "Alright, I’ll leave right away."
"Oh? You have ti now?"
"Honestly, I don’t have a lot of ti, but such opportunities are rare, so I would like to go and check it out," Zhang Xian said with a smile.
Right now the situation in Tiandu is critical and he can’t afford to extricate himself. However, he wouldn’t want to miss matters related to the ancient martial arts practitioner. Hence, after considering it, he decided to go and check it out.
As for here, with Qian Bo and Zheng Youhua around, there shouldn’t be any problems as long as people like Mo Shaoyun do not leave the Lingxiao Villa.
"What? You’re going to Sunset Town again?" Duan Hong asked.
Zhang Xian replied, "Not Sunset Town, but Yuntai Town, which is not far from Sunset Town. Elder Sister Cheng ntioned that there’s a trade fair there. I want to go check it out and find so clues."
"What will happen here if you leave?" Duan Hong asked, "Xie Wuming won’t let it go easily."
Zhang Xian frowned, then laughed, "With Old Man Qiu, Secretary Qian, and Director Zheng here, there shouldn’t be a problem. As long as Elder Sister Shaoyun and the others don’t leave, Xie Wuming can’t do anything to our Lingxiao Villa. If I’m here, the governnt won’t interfere. I’ll give Director Zheng a heads up to look after it. Even if Xie Wuming has the guts, he wouldn’t dare to create a ruckus."
"Okay, then you can go!"
Duan Hong said, "Mo Shaoyun and Fu iting are both business geniuses. There won’t be any problems with them here at Lingxiao Villa."
"That is exactly why I am at ease. They have their own strategies in business."
Zhang Xian laughed, "But, you must accompany
over there, along with Qingqing and Elder Sister Yulan. Sister iting, Sister Shaoyun, and Sister Nan can handle things here."
Duan Hong looked puzzled, "What are you calling us over for?"
Zhang Xian chuckled, "Are you suggesting that I might get lonely over there without anyone to accompany ?"
"Well, I can’t handle that!"
Duan Hong chuckled bitterly, "Qingqing is now sulking and won’t let you touch her. Yulan simply ignores you, I alone can’t handle your harassnt."
"Hehe..."
Zhang Xian chuckled, "Okay! I was only joking. Actually, I am taking you there for another reason. Elder Sister Cheng is too busy, she can’t handle all the matters there. So things, due to their classified nature, she can’t handle alone so Qingqing will head over there. As for the rest of you, I want to see what type of trade fair it is and if we can achieve so kind of cooperation."
Duan Hong looked surprised, "Wait, are you saying you want to leave
and Wen Yulan in Yuntai Town? What about us..."
"I do have such an idea, but I am not sure if it’s feasible yet."
Zhang Xian held Duan Hong in his arms," Elder Sister Hong, I know it’s not fair to you, but I have no choice, you know the current situation, I need power to protect you."
Duan Hong nodded, "Okay, I’ll follow your lead. If anything really happens, I won’t just stand by."
"Alright, let
call Qingqing first."
Zhang Xian smiled, stood up, climbed up the stairs and knocked on Zhu Qing’s door.
"Click..."
The door was quickly pulled open. When Zhu Qing saw Zhang Xian, she frowned and asked, "What do you want?"
"I don’t want anything."
Zhang Xian laughed and said, "Elder Sister Cheng is too busy over there. She just called
and asked you to help her. She asked
to ask you."
"Wha...what? My sis asked
to go to Sunset Town?" Zhu Qing widened her eyes.
Seeing Zhu Qing’s reluctance, Zhang Xian laughed, "You don’t want to go? It’s okay, I can tell Elder Sister Cheng to call soone else."
"I’ll ask her first." Zhu Qing did not answer imdiately, but took out her phone and closed the door.
Zhang Xian was a little frustrated. It was just a phone call, why did she close the door?
Not long after, Zhu Qing ca out and said, "Wait, I’ll pack up."
Zhang Xian saw that Zhu Qing had agreed, and didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, he went to Wen Yulan’s door and knocked.
"What do you want?"
After opening the door, Wen Yulan frowned and said, "Don’t you dare try anything at this late hour."
"Elder Sister Yulan, do you know this kind of talk is heartbreaking?"
Zhang Xian had a bitter smile on his face, "Although I am not so honest, can’t you stop assuming I’m plotting sothing every ti we et? Would such a pure person like
do that?"
The corner of Wen Yulan’s mouth twitched unnaturally, "Stop pretending to be pure here. When did you ever not take advantage of
when we t?"
"Alright! Let’s not discuss this unproductive issue, and start packing!"
Wen Yulan asked in confusion,"Why are you asking
to pack?"
"I want to take you out."
Zhang Xian said, "Elder Sister Cheng just called and said there’s a trade fair, I want to check it out, and I want you to accompany ."
"Why do you need
for a trade fair?" Wen Yulan looked at Zhang Xian suspiciously, "Don’t tell
you have so ulterior motives for , I will not agree!"
Zhang Xian looked Wen Yulan up and down, "Elder Sister Yulan, you are my wife, you know? How could you do this? It really breaks my heart!"
Wen Yulan’s face turned red," Who... who is your wife? Watch your mouth."
Zhang Xian said, "You are Yueyue’s mother, I am Yueyue’s father, if we’re not husband and wife, then what are we? Ask any outsider and they will think you’re my wife."
Wen Yulan retorted, "Yueyue is your goddaughter, not your biological daughter, what kind of husband and wife are we?"
Zhang Xian responded, "Okay! I admit Yueyue is not my biological daughter, but when did I ever tell you that Yueyue is my goddaughter?"
