It was strange to say that Shangguan Nan must be a master. Otherwise, he would not have been able to stand so firmly in Jianghu. The name of the Shangguan family alone could not make these old Jianghu people and small Jianghu people convinced. The people in this tavern were not small gangs. They were so afraid of Shangguan Nan because of his skills and his family background. At this moment, Shangguan Nan did not have the shadow of a master. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a weak pink-faced scholar. He was actually thrown out so easily by an old man without any resistance.
Shangguan Nan was so easily knocked down on the table. How could he accept it? However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move an inch. It was just like when the old man had just approached him. It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but he was bound by an invisible force and couldn't move an inch.
The old man strode over and lightly slapped the table. Shangguan Nan turned around with his back facing upwards. The old man lifted the back of Shangguan Nan's shirt and raised his hand to slap his butt.
The sounds of slapping could be heard continuously…
Shangguan Nan was beaten in front of everyone, and the part that was beaten was still so unbearable. He still had face, but he couldn't hold his breath and fainted.
However, the old man had no intention of stopping. The older he was, the more energetic he became. At this moment, no one stopped the old man. No one wanted to end up like Shangguan Nan for no reason. He could only blame himself for being so arrogant. He did not even bring a member of the Shangguan family with him. However, even if he did, he would probably not end up well.
Xiefeng Ming, who was standing at the side, frowned as he looked at Shangguan Nan, who was being beaten up. He said in a voice that only Shangguan Xinyi could hear,"Little girl, why don't you stop the old senior? He's your brother!"
Shangguan Xinyi pouted and lowered her voice: "Is he my brother? Why didn't I know? What kind of brother would tease his sister in public? Have you seen my husband? If he didn't let his grandfather teach him a lesson, he would never know the immensity of heaven and earth. He always thought that he was invincible in the world and would do whatever he wanted!”Shangguan Xinyi's voice was filled with disgust, but when it reached Xiefeng Ming's ears, it completely changed its meaning.
"Hehe, you still care about your brother! "After all, he's my brother. I was wondering why you were willing to let Shangguan Nan get beaten up. It turns out that you wanted to remind your brother to be careful. However, your wishful thinking is going to fall through. Your brother will definitely not be able to achieve great things. He will definitely take revenge on the old senior in the future!”" I'll forgive you," Xiefeng Ming said after a pause." Since you didn't let him know who we are, as long as you're willing to stand by my side, I'll forgive you!"”The warning in Xiefeng Ming's words was obvious. He was undoubtedly telling Shangguan Xinyi not to betray him and to stand with the Shangguan family.
"Husband, I don't understand what you're saying. Haven't I always been standing by your side? Otherwise, what was he talking to? Could it be a ghost?" How could she not want to tell Xiefeng Ming that she had always been with him? But she couldn't say it out loud. She was just constantly reminding him. Unfortunately…he would never be able to see it…
"Shangguan Xinyi, you asked for it. In the future, don't blame this king for being impolite to you!”Xiefeng Ming narrowed his eyes as he spoke.
Shangguan Xinyi did not say anything.
"Yo! What was going on? Wasn't the one being beaten up Young Master Shangguan?”Suddenly, a group of people arrived outside the tavern. The person who spoke was the leader of the group. He was dressed like a scholar and stood beside Xiefeng Ming with a smile.
"Xie Weiran!" Shangguan Xinyi said in a voice that only Xiefeng Ming could hear.
"Shut up! I don't need you to say anything now!" Xiefeng Ming glanced at Shangguan Xinyi, warning her not to say anything more.
Shangguan Xinyi looked at Xiefeng Ming in confusion, not knowing what he meant. She could only remain silent and watch Xie Weiran's every move.
Xie Weiran saw that the beaten Shangguan Nan didn't answer him and couldn't help but walk over in big strides,""So he was knocked unconscious." Xie Weiran paused and stretched out a hand to slap his face.
The moment Shangguan Nan was hit, his face swelled up, and the red five-fingered mark was clearly visible.
"Your brother is really ruthless!”Shangguan Xinyi stood there and pouted her little mouth. She screamed in her heart that she deserved it. She wished that Shangguan Nan could take a few more hits to vent her anger.
"Why do you feel heartache? You still care about your brother, hehe.”Xiefeng Ming grinned as he looked at Shangguan Xinyi's sickly appearance.
" What's wrong? Your wound…" Shangguan Xinyi couldn't help but become anxious when she saw Xiefeng Ming's expression. She couldn't help but raise her voice a little, attracting the attention of others.
"Shut up, I'm fine." Xiefeng Ming's smile disappeared in an instant, and he looked at Shangguan Xinyi with a serious expression.
Shangguan Xinyi turned her head and whispered: "You deserve it! Hmph, you don't know what's good for you!"
Xiefeng Ming's eyes were fixed on Shangguan Nan, but his ears had clearly heard Shangguan Xinyi's words. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes were filled with a smile.
"Aiyo…damn old man! "Just you wait, I'll teach you a lesson…" Shangguan Nan had woken up at some point. He tried to move his body as he cursed at the old man."Who slapped my face? If you have the guts, stand up for me! Could it be that this old man doesn't put this Young Master in his eyes? Do you still dare to look down on this Young Master and the Ling Qiu Manor?”The burning pain on his face made him even angrier. No matter how stupid he was, he couldn't blame the pain on his face on the old man who had slapped his butt. Someone must have taken advantage of him when he was unconscious.
"I don't put you in my eyes! He did not put Ling Qiu Manor in his eyes! What can you do to me?" Xie Weiran looked at Shangguan Nan with interest. He waved his hand and his secret guard brought a long bench over and placed it behind him. Xie Weiran sat down and a white folding fan appeared in his hand. He was playing with it in front of his chest.
Shangguan Nan raised his head strenuously and saw that this person was actually Xie Weiran. He couldn't help but feel a little defeated and cursed himself for being so embarrassing. He endured the pain and gritted his teeth. Veins and sweat could be seen on his head."Fifteen…"
Guan Nan had just spat out the word 'fifteen' when Xie Weiran interrupted him,""That's right, it's your Grandpa Fifteen. Why, Shangguan Nan, do you have anything to say?”How could he let Shangguan Nan reveal his identity?
" Hehe…Fifteen…Young Master Fifteen, you…you must be joking. I dare not…dare not…" Shangguan Nan gritted his teeth and forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
"That's good!" Xie Weiran smiled and started to play with his fan.
The old man who hit Shangguan Nan could not help but increase the strength of his hand because of Shangguan Nan's ability to endure pain. He did not believe that this boy would not scream!
Not long after, Shangguan Nan finally could not bear the pain and screamed. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the old man stopped and clapped his hands. He walked to Shangguan Xinyi with a smile and said,"My dear granddaughter, look at how Grandpa helped you vent your anger. Aren't you satisfied?”
Shangguan Xinyi looked at the old man and felt a little helpless. How was this old man avenging her? He was clearly the one who was venting his anger for her. Since this old man was looking for a way out and came to her, he should at least give her some face.
Shangguan Xinyi went up and held the old man's arm.""Thank you grandfather for teaching this scoundrel a lesson. Granddaughter is very grateful.”
"Hehe, you and I don't have to be so unreasonable! Boy, I will spare you today. Go back and tell your father that I, Qiu Yunhe, will be waiting for him to come find me at any time!”The old man looked at Shangguan Nan and said confidently.
When the old man announced his name, Xiefeng Ming's eyes lit up. Who was Qiu Yunhe? He had lived for a hundred years and was like a living immortal. He had retired a hundred years ago and disappeared without a trace. From then on, there was no one like him in the Jianghu. Before Bai Nian, he was like an immortal. As long as he set his mind on something, there was nothing he could not do. Even the mysterious Phoenix Cry Palace would give in to him. He was like a sage. If he was not interested in these legendary figures in the Jianghu, he would not have known even if the old man had mentioned his name today. This seemingly ordinary old man was actually such a person, and Shangguan Xinyi did not know what kind of person this old man was. She was still holding the old man and was dissatisfied in her heart.
Shangguan Nan's buttocks were obviously beaten until the skin and flesh were torn open. Blood could be seen vaguely through his clothes, which showed how ruthless the old man was.
"This Young Master…will definitely seek justice from you!”Shangguan Nan gritted his teeth and held his breath. After saying this, he fainted.
Shangguan Xinyi looked at the unconscious Shangguan Nan and couldn't help but feel kind. She let go of the old man and walked to Xiefeng Ming, whispering," Hey, Shangguan Nan doesn't have a single attendant by his side, and he's still unconscious here. Otherwise..." She couldn't help but pause. She inexplicably felt a little strange. Wasn't she usually the most loyal to the Shangguan family? What was going on today? Perhaps she didn't want Shangguan Nan to die so easily. Shangguan Xinyi comforted herself,"Why don't we get Fifteen to send him back to Ling Qiu Manor?”
Xiefeng Ming looked at Shangguan Xinyi's eyes that were blinking in front of him, looking very cute."Good!" He actually agreed without hesitation. He sighed in his heart. Shangguan Xinyi must be a member of the Shangguan family. The chances of her standing by his side were probably not high. After all, they were deeply related by blood. How could he have made such a big mistake before this? He still thought that Shangguan Xinyi would stand by his side. Hehe, it was really ridiculous.
Xiefeng Ming went around Shangguan Xinyi and walked in front of Xie Weiran. He smiled and said,""This Fifteenth Young Master is truly unyielding.”" You look familiar," Xiefeng Ming paused." I think I've seen you somewhere before…"
When Xie Weiran saw a stranger speaking like this, he couldn't help but feel wary. At the same time, he felt that this person's voice was so familiar, exactly the same as his Ninth Brother's. He looked at Xiefeng Ming hesitantly,""May I ask where Young Master met me? Why do I have no impression of it?"
Xiefeng Ming got close to Xie Weiran and adjusted his back to the crowd. He casually lifted his clothes and a jade pendant flashed past.
