Zhong Yancheng, Shi Yue, and Fan Xue arrived at the grove early in the morning.
There was still some time before Zhong Yancheng and Shi Yang agreed. The three of them waited by the forest.
Shi Yue told Zhong and Fan about her childhood. Fan Xue leaned against the tree and listened with interest. Zhong Yancheng, on the other hand, was quietly watching Shi Yue's smile. He would occasionally look up to see if Shi Yang was coming.
The three of them didn't know that not far behind them was the Prince of the Arctic State, Wang Yichuan, hiding in the bushes.
Wang Yichuan had been lustful of women since he was young. When he saw Shi Yue and Fan Xue in the city, evil thoughts immediately arose in his heart. Hence, he quietly followed them, looking for an opportunity to take advantage of them.
In order to deal with Da Duo, the Arctic State had trained countless spies, and Wang Yichuan was naturally proficient in this. Not to mention that Shi Yue and the other two had no experience in Jianghu, even an ordinary wealthy guest would not be able to see through Wang Yichuan's secret arts.
Hiding in the bushes, he secretly sized up Shi Yue and Fan Xue. He was jealous of Zhong Yancheng's luck with women. He actually had two beautiful women accompanying him, which made him curse Zhong Yancheng in his heart.
Wang Yichuan was looking excitedly at Shi Yue and Fan Xue when he suddenly saw a beautiful lady with tanned skin sneaking over and hiding in the shade of a tree. Just as Wang Yichuan was puzzled, he saw a limping man walk out of the small forest and walk straight towards Shi Yue and the other two.
It was Shi Yang, and the girl hiding in the shade was his companion, Kang Ying.
On the way here, the two of them had discussed that Shi Yang would deal with the situation while Kang Ying would hide in the dark and act according to the situation.
After a while, Shi Yang was getting closer and closer to Shi Yue and the other two. From afar, he could not help but pay attention to Shi Yue's figure."This woman's figure is very familiar.”
Although Shi Yang did not realize that Shi Yue and the other two had malicious intentions, the vigilance in his heart had not weakened. This was the vigilance that he had gained from his experience in Jianghu.
Even so, he still had doubts in his heart."Who is this lady? Why did the three of them invite me here?”
At this moment, Shi Yue suddenly had a thought. She turned around and stared blankly at Shi Yang, who was gradually approaching her.
Zhong Yancheng looked up from time to time and saw Shi Yang.
He looked at Shi Yue and felt that her expression contained three parts of expectation, three parts of uneasiness, three parts of joy, and one part of confusion. He smiled slightly, patted Shi Yue's little head, and stood up to greet Shi Yang.
Zhong Yancheng walked in front of Shi Yang and said with a smile,""Hello, Shi Yang." His voice was trembling due to his emotions.
Shi Yang's gaze finally moved away from Shi Yue. He glanced at Fan Xue who was standing beside him and his gaze fell on Zhong Yancheng. His vigilance turned into 30% vigilance and 70% curiosity. He asked,""May I know why you have agreed to meet me here?”
"Are you really Shi Yang?" Zhong Yancheng asked excitedly. The Shi Yang from Fruit Fish Village?"
"It's just a trifling matter," said Shi Yang.
Zhong Yancheng was so excited that he burst into laughter when he heard Shi Yang's confession. He was overjoyed and wanted to rush forward to support Shi Yang's arms.
Seeing Zhong Yancheng suddenly lunging forward, Shi Yang did not have time to think about it. The Fire True Force in his body automatically circulated and turned into a flame that broke out of his body, swallowing and spitting on the surface of his body.
This was a self-created protective martial art technique, called the " Scorching Fire Shield ". It had extremely high firepower, and any ordinary arrow that came into contact with it would instantly turn into ashes.
Zhong Yancheng did not expect that flames would burst out from Shi Yang's body. He couldn't stop in time and was about to collide.
At this moment, Shi Yang could tell that Zhong Yancheng was not hostile, so he stepped aside and moved sideways, passing by Zhong Yancheng.
After Zhong Yancheng took a few steps forward, a Water Curtain Heavenly Flower was cast on his body. It turned out that when Shi Yue looked up at Shi Yang, she was actually in a daze. When he regained his senses, he hurriedly activated the Heavenly Dharma to protect Zhong Yan City.
After Zhong Yancheng stood still, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then, he suddenly understood and smiled apologetically."I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was too rash.”"My name is Zhong Yancheng. I grew up with Shi Yue and can be considered childhood playmates."”
The words "Shi Yue" were like a curse, causing Shi Yang to be stunned. After a long while, Shi Yang regained his senses and slowly turned his head to meet Shi Yue's eyes.
It was only at this moment that Shi Yue finally got a good look at Shi Yang's face. She only felt that her brother, who had long died in her memories, was actually standing in front of her alive, as if he was in a dream.
Shi Yue's heart was filled with joy and excitement, but she could not say a word of what she had prepared.
After a long time, Shi Yue threw herself into Shi Yang's arms like a swallow returning to its nest. Her tears were like broken pearls, soaking Shi Yang's clothes. However, the corners of her mouth were filled with a happy and satisfied smile.
Shi Yang hugged Shi Yue tightly in his arms, allowing her small face to rub against his chest. His tearful smile was exactly the same as Shi Yue's.
This scene, in the eyes of the two people hiding in the dark, had a different feeling.
Kang Ying watched as Shi Yang hugged a petite and beautiful girl in his arms. She was burning with anger and said hatefully,"Shi Yang! You ungrateful thing! Remember this!" He was furious and did not want to take another look or stay any longer. He immediately left in anger.
Wang Yichuan thought, Tsk, tsk, tsk. That cripple sure is lucky with women.”At this moment, he saw the beautiful girl hiding in the shade leave in a huff. He thought of something and quickly followed her.
Kang Ying was furious and rushed into the wine shop in the city.
Silver Tide City had merchants coming and going all year round. Some merchants would often drink and discuss business in the taverns, so there were many taverns in Silver Tide City.
Kang Ying was frustrated and didn't like noise. She just wanted to find a quiet place to get drunk, so she went to a small wine shop in a quiet place.
The curtains of a small tavern were rudely lifted, and Kang Ying strode into the tavern.
She looked around and saw that although the front of this unnamed small wine shop was not very big, the furnishings in the shop were exquisite and elegant. It was obvious that the shopkeeper had spent a lot of effort to set it up.
There weren't many customers in the tavern, so it was a little quiet, just what Kang Ying wanted. She saw some small vines planted in a corner of the wine shop, which was cleverly separated from the outside like a curtain wall. There were wooden tables and rattan chairs inside, which she liked very much, so she strode over.
After Kang Ying took her seat, a wine boy quickly walked over and said with a smile,"Miss, what do you need? Our store's signature amber wine is the best in the area. And…"
Before he could finish, Kang Ying interrupted,"Just do it. What are you talking about?" After saying that, he took out a silver ingot that weighed ten taels and threw it over.
The wine boy saw that Kang Ying was in a bad mood and didn't dare to say anything more. He took the silver ingot and left. A moment later, the wine boy held a silver plate in his hand and presented two palm-sized jade gourds and a short jade cup.
Kang Ying dismissed the wine boy, grabbed a jade gourd, pulled out the wine stopper, poured the wine into the cup, and drank it in one gulp. One after another, the two jade gourds were emptied in no time.
Kang Ying was already drunk. Seeing that the bottle was empty, she kept shouting and urging the waiter to serve the wine quickly.
Seeing this, the wine boy quickly ran over and smiled at Kang Ying."Young lady, the wine has been served. These two jade gourds will do.”
Kang Ying's eyes were half-opened, and she took advantage of the alcohol to shout,"This little wine costs this young lady ten silver taels? Are you guys running an illegal shop?"
The wine boy jumped in fright and hurriedly said,"Aiyo, girl, don't talk nonsense. This shop is a century-old shop and has never done any shady business. This amber wine required dozens of high-grade materials, and the brewing method was extremely complicated. Look, even this jade gourd is an exquisite object.”
Just as Kang Ying opened her mouth to speak, an elegant young master walked over and took out a golden leaf from his bosom. He handed it to the wine boy and said,"Just serve the wine. How could such a beautiful woman be neglected? Since the young lady has a special liking for your store's amber wine, it is your store's honor. Being able to drink with a beautiful woman is a blessing that I have never had in my life.”As he spoke, he became even more affectionate towards Kang Ying.
The wine boy happily accepted the golden leaf and immediately went to prepare the wine. Soon, the table was filled with amber wine.
This young master was Wang Yichuan. He had been following Kang Ying all the way and finally approached her.
