"What? How could you tell him such an important thing? What if he spreads it?”Zhao Shengming was very nervous and said unhappily," How much did you tell him? What else does he know?”He had to ask clearly. If this person knew too much, he would have no choice but to take extreme measures to silence him.
When Zhao Luyan saw the killing intent in her father's eyes, she felt nervous. From the looks of it, she had to say something. Otherwise, Yi Yun's life would be in danger. He pulled his father to sit down and comforted him,"Father, don't worry. That person is very reliable. Although I know some things, I definitely won't tell anyone. You can rest assured.”Seeing that his father still did not believe him, he could only say," Actually, not only does this person know about this, he also knows about Jiang Luo City and the Luminous Pearl.”
"What? He knows so much?" Zhao Shengming, who had a guilty conscience, stood up and looked at his daughter, asking angrily.
Zhao Luyan knew that her father would be very surprised if this matter was spread out, so her current expression was within her expectations. She pressed her father to sit down and Zhao Luyan poured him a cup of tea. She gently advised,"Father, don't be anxious. Let me finish. Although this person knew so much, he was definitely a reliable person and would not tell anyone. Besides, he helped us so much in Jiangluo City. If he wasn't so devoted, everyone would have known about us.”
"What? Fu Ruihai asked him to go?”Zhao Shengming was shocked. He only knew about such a big thing now?
Zhao Luyan nodded." Although Senior Brother has a lot of friends, there are not many that he can rely on. Besides, Father doesn't want others to know about those things. After thinking about it, he was the only one who was suitable, so he let him go. He was the one who pretended to be the Taoist priest, kidnapped Lu Yueqin, stole the jade pendant, threatened Lu Yueqin, and got information about Lu Yueqin and He Huafeng.”
"So it's all him." Zhao Shengming suddenly understood something. He nodded slightly and praised," You're indeed a talent. You're flawless. You know so many things, but you didn't tell anyone. I need such a person." Fu Ruihai isn't here, but this person is by my side. Why did you only tell me about such a big matter now? Don't you know that I need such a person?”
"Of course I know. When we were in Jiangluo City, I wanted him to see you. However, if Lu Wangyuan and the others found out and reported you, Father wouldn't be able to explain himself. We'll be in the light and he'll be in the dark, so no one will notice."Moreover, I still have to observe him. If he's suitable, I'll definitely tell father. If he's not suitable, I'll get rid of him and leave no future trouble. That way, father won't worry.”
"You're thoughtful." Zhao Shengming was very satisfied with his daughter's arrangement and laughed happily. Zhao Luyan was also pleased with herself when she saw him like this. It seemed that there was finally hope this time. After laughing, Zhao Shengming continued," I can find a way to arrange it as soon as possible. I want to see this person and have some questions to ask him.”
"Alright, Father, I will arrange it. That person is as anxious as you. I hope you can help him.”
"Of course. If he's a talent, I naturally won't treat him unfairly.”Zhao Shengming happily agreed and then said seriously," But I have a condition. If you want me to help you, you must be my man, listen to me, and work for me. Otherwise, the consequences will be very miserable. If you see him, you must tell him this.”
Hearing this, Zhao Luyan couldn't help but shiver. Her father was indeed ruthless. But now, he had no choice but to agree, so he replied,"Alright, I'll definitely tell him this. I've said the same thing before, and he has already agreed. I don't think he will dare to act recklessly and betray Father. Father can rest assured.”Seeing her father nod, Zhao Luyan was relieved. She said," If Father doesn't have any objections, I'll ask him to come over tomorrow and meet you. How about it?"”
"Alright, arrange it as soon as possible." Zhao Shengming nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked," You still haven't told me the name of that person."”
" Yi Yunfei."
After convincing her father, Zhao Luyan did not rest. Instead, she got Xi Mei to inform Yi Yunfei immediately. Xi Mei felt that it was inappropriate and felt that she should tell Fu Ruihai about this, so she carefully reminded Zhao Luyan. Unexpectedly, not only did Zhao Luyan not appreciate it, but she also said that Xi Mei was a busybody. Xi Mei couldn't win her argument, so she had to go. In fact, Zhao Luyan knew that she could not tell Fu Ruihai about this. If she told him, Fu Ruihai would definitely not agree. She could only wait until what was done was done. Fu Ruihai had no other choice.
The next night, Zhao Luyan brought Yi Yunfei into her father's study. "I, Yi Yun, pay my respects to Lord Zhao.”Yi Yun knelt down and saluted Zhao Shengming the moment he entered. His voice was clear and he looked at Zhao Shengming with a neither servile nor overbearing attitude.
You are Yi Yunfei?" Zhao Shengming asked as he sized up the young man. He looked to be around 30 years old. Compared to Fu Ruihai, he was mature and steady, with a hint of elegance. Zhao Shengming felt that he was friendly and easy-going, similar to himself when he was young. Because of this, Zhao Shengming couldn't help but feel a bit friendly to him." I heard that you are Fu Ruihai's friend. How did you know each other? How long have you known each other?"”
Zhao Shengming indeed asked such a question. Zhao Luyan's guess was really accurate. As expected, she knew her father better than her daughter. This sentence was not wrong at all. Fortunately, he was prepared beforehand, so he said,"Young Master Fu and I met in the south. At that time, Young Master Fu was working for Lord Zhao there. My brothers and I met him and became friends. It had been about five or six years.”
Zhao Shengming nodded lightly. Five years ago, he had indeed sent Fu Ruihai to the south to deal with someone. If they had met at that time, it was reasonable. "I heard that you're a scholar, but it seems that you're quite skilled. I wonder where you learned it?”Zhao Shengming continued to ask, looking at him to prevent him from lying to him.
Yi Yun had read countless people, and with Zhao Luyan's usual introductions and his own analysis, he felt that he understood Zhao Shengming very well. This person was crafty and suspicious. It was not easy to gain his trust. Every question had to be answered in a reasonable manner. He could not reveal any flaws, or all his efforts would go to waste. He had already prepared for such a question, so he was not afraid. He said calmly,"Lord Zhao, you might not know this, but although I am a scholar, there are a few martial artists in my family. They saw that my aptitude was not bad, so they let me learn a few moves from them.”
"Fancy moves? I don't think so." " Hmph!" Zhao Shengming snorted and sneered." If it was really just a show, could he have stolen something from Huangfu Ye's room and kidnapped Lu Yueqin in front of everyone and escaped unscathed? If it was just a show, could he force He Huafeng to attack and then leave quietly?”
"So Lord Zhao already knows about these things.”Yi Yun said with a calm expression. He knew that Zhao Luyan had already revealed the matter. Otherwise, Zhao Shengming would not have met him. Since he had said it, there was no need to deny it. He nodded and said," That's right. I did all these things. Brother Fu told me that Lord Zhao didn't want others to know about it and that he couldn't take the initiative to do it. He trusted me, so he let me go. It was just a welcome gift for Lord Zhao. I wonder if Lord Zhao is satisfied?"
"Of course I'm satisfied. To be honest, I do need a talent like Mister Yi. If Mister Yi can lend me a hand, I will definitely not treat Mister Yi unfairly.”Zhao Shengming said with a smile and bowed, appearing very sincere. He stood up and looked at Yi Yunfei. He frowned and asked," I heard that you failed many times. What happened? Can you tell me?"”
Yi Yunfei sighed and said," It's simple. It's nothing more than a matter of money. The head examiner wanted money, and I was penniless. When I arrived in the capital, I didn't even have a place to stay, let alone give money. In the end, I fell behind in the ranks, and I couldn't speak of my suffering. It was fun to meet some Jianghu friends by accident and travel around. Later on, she met Brother Fu and knew that he was Lord Zhao's man. She hoped that he would help, but there was no news from him, so she gave up. This is an opportunity, and I didn't let it go. Work hard, and I hope to do something for Lord Zhao. Fortunately, these things were successful. Lord Zhao was very satisfied.”
"Of course, without your help, I don't think everything would have gone so smoothly. I have to thank Mister Yi for your help. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to obtain the Night-Luminescent Pearl, and I wouldn't have been able to rest easy like I am now.”Zhao Shengming said proudly," It's just strange. Mister Yi did so many things in Jiangluo City, but why didn't he come to see me? Why did he only come now? It really makes me regret not meeting him earlier.”
Zhao Luyan was very nervous when Zhao Shengming suddenly asked this question. At first, she didn't want Zhao Shengming to see them. Zhao Luyan definitely wouldn't be willing to hand over the talent that she had painstakingly nurtured to her father. Now that he knew Yi Yunfei's secret, he knew that he was the same kind of person as him. That was why he dared to let him come. Now that Zhao Shengming was asking this, he did not know if Yi Yunfei would answer. He looked at Yi Yunfei and felt very nervous. At that moment, he suddenly heard Yi Yun say…
"I also hope to see Lord Zhao as soon as possible, but Miss Zhao and Brother Fu told me that this matter is of great importance and can't be known to others, so they asked me to wait for a while. I know that this kind of thing can't be rushed. I can only wait patiently.”
Zhao Shengming was relieved to hear the same answer as Zhao Luyan. However, there was still one thing that worried him. After thinking for a moment, he asked,"I heard that you already know about everything I did in Jiangluo City, as well as about the luminous pearl. I wonder what you plan to do?”
"Of course it's to keep it a secret.”Yi Yunfei hurriedly said," I know that this matter is of great importance, especially to Lord Zhao, Miss Zhao, and Brother Fu. It's extremely important, so it must not be divulged. Besides, I was involved in this matter. If I were to divulge it, it would not benefit me. Yi Yun is not a smart person. I will not do things that harm others without benefiting myself. Lord Zhao, you can rest assured that I won't say anything about this. Furthermore, if Lord Zhao has any other instructions, I, Yi Yun, will do my best to fulfill my mission.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:052520186:07PM
