In the evening.
When Ye Xuan arrived at Qinshui Village, Qingshui Village's Village Chief, Chen Danian, and one of the Ye Clan's stewards, Guo Yang, were already waiting there.
Ye Xuan raised his head and glanced at Guo Yang.
Guo Yang had a sad look on his face, and he was obviously not in the right state of mind.
When he saw Ye Xuan looking over, he did not react at all for a moment. It was only when the other steward beside him, Xue Qiang, and Village Chief Chen Danian gave him a gentle push that he quivered and came back to his senses completely. His face immediately revealed a guilty expression.
"Eldest Young Master, I'm really sorry. I was a little distracted just now.”
"No worries."
Ye Xuan immediately waved his hand.
He could understand Guo Yang's feelings.
As a father, he believed that anyone else would have the same reaction as Guo Yang after knowing that his son was killed.
"Steward Guo, you can go down and rest first. If there's anything here, Steward Xue and Village Chief Chen can accompany me.”
Ye Xuan said to Guo Yang with concern.
Then, he turned to Village Chief Chen Danian and asked,"
"By the way, Village Chief Chen, I heard that you were going to invite Ninth Uncle of Ren Town over. What do you think? Were they already at Qingshui Village?”
Chen Danian was clearly slightly surprised when Ye Xuan suddenly mentioned Ninth Uncle.
"Eldest Young Master, you know Ninth Uncle too?”
Without waiting for Ye Xuan to reply, Chen Danian hurriedly nodded and said,"
"We're here, we're here. It's a coincidence that Ninth Uncle and the others just arrived, and Eldest Young Master and the others also arrived.”
"Oh, really?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes.
"Then bring me there. By the way, where are they living now?”
"I haven't made any arrangements yet, but I plan to let them stay at the inn later."”
"The inn?"
Ye Xuan shook his head.
"There's no need for that. Let them stay at my place in a while. Steward Xue, help me arrange this matter when the time comes.”
"Yes, Young Master."
Steward Xue hurriedly accepted the order respectfully.
In a short while, Ye Xuan's group had already arrived at a restaurant.
At this moment, Ninth Uncle was sitting at a table by the window with his two disciples, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.
There was only a pot of tea and a few teacups on the table. There was no food.
It was obvious that Ninth Uncle and the others had just arrived and had not had the time to order.
"Ninth Uncle, long time no see!"
Ye Xuan immediately stepped forward with a smile and greeted Ninth Uncle.
"Mister Ye…"
Ninth Uncle's face clearly revealed a hint of surprise. Clearly, he did not expect that they would actually see Ye Xuan in this place.
"Young Master Ye."
"Young Master Ye."
Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng beside him also hurriedly greeted Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan smiled and nodded at them. Then, he said to Ninth Uncle,
"Ninth Uncle, you haven't eaten yet, right? I just arrived at Qingshui Village and haven't had time to eat yet. Let's go to the private room on the top floor.”
Upon hearing Ye Xuan ask them to go to the private room on the top floor and that it was his treat, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, who were beside Ninth Uncle, couldn't help but reveal looks of anticipation.
Ninth Uncle also had some strange thoughts in his heart, but he still hesitated for the sake of his face.
"Young Master Ye, this isn't very good, right?”
"How could this be?"
Ye Xuan immediately smiled and shook his head.
"Speaking of which, I still have something to discuss with Ninth Uncle. Let's go together.”
In that case, Ye Xuan naturally wanted to give Ninth Uncle a way out.
He knew how much Ninth Uncle cared about his reputation.
As expected, after hearing Ye Xuan's words, Ninth Uncle finally didn't refuse anymore. After nodding, he followed Ye Xuan and the others to the top floor private room of this restaurant.
During this period, they naturally couldn't avoid good wine and good food. Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng were immediately satisfied with the food.
Even Ninth Uncle was satisfied. He felt that Ye Xuan was indeed magnanimous when he did things.
"Oh right, Ninth Uncle, tonight you have Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, so you can stay with me. Before coming, I have already informed Steward Xue. He will arrange it for you later.”
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Ye Xuan could not help but smile as he said to Ninth Uncle and the others.
Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng's faces immediately revealed a hint of joy.
They knew that with Ye Xuan's status, the place he arranged for them to stay would definitely not be bad.
Ninth Uncle was also a little tempted. After all, who wouldn't want their place to have a better environment?
However, before he could reply, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the private room they were in.
Immediately after, a few anxious voices sounded.
"Village chief, bad news! The youngest son of the Old Li family and the eldest son of the Old Wang family had all disappeared!”
"What?"
Hearing the words of the person outside the door, Chen Danian, Xue Qiang, and the others who were sitting in their seats could not help but have their expressions change drastically.
Ye Xuan and Ninth Uncle stood up immediately.
Without a word, they immediately opened the door and looked at the anxious people standing outside.
"What happened? Be more specific? Also, where did the two of them go before they disappeared?”
"Village chief, we don't know the details. We only heard that before they disappeared, they seemed to have been to the forest beside our village.”
"That forest?"
Ye Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
Knowing the plot well, he basically understood what was going on.
Immediately, he and Ninth Uncle couldn't help but look at each other, and then they heard Ye Xuan say,"
"In that case, let's go to the forest you mentioned first. Ninth Uncle, what do you think?”
In the end, Ye Xuan didn't forget to turn his head and ask Ninth Uncle.
"Yes."
Ninth Uncle nodded.
"Then let's go to that place to take a look first. Also, Village Chief, remember to tell us where those people were when they were discovered.”
As they spoke, Ye Xuan, Ninth Uncle, Wen Cai, Qiu Sheng, Chen Danian, Xue Qiang, and the others all rushed towards the so-called forest.
This was the fourth chapter, and there was another one later.
