Chapter Fifty-Three: Brother Yan

  Wang Fu's slightly chubby body trembled involuntarily, his eyebrows jumping violently, the muscles on his face pulling the corners of his mouth to one side, and his sharp eyes fixed intently on Xia Yan's face.

  Xia Yan's face was cold and smiling, his eyes were icy, anyone could see that at this moment Xia Yan had a great anger in his heart.

  Wang Fu secretly thought to himself, what's the background of this young man?

  Li Yuanchun stood beside Xia Yan, his brow raised, and let out a cold hum from his nostrils. The long sword in his hand had not been sheathed, and just now he had almost taken action to teach these few bastards who looked down on people with their dog eyes a lesson. Li Yuanchun was not worried about offending anyone in Yushui City. Yushui City was just a small county town after all.

  ……

  "Sixth Brother, we're almost at Jufu Building, this damned weather is terrible!"

  At the corner of a long street, two young men were followed by four guards. The Jiufu Building was just around the corner on this long street. These two young men were dressed in luxurious clothes and looked like they were from wealthy families.

  The young man in front was impatiently wiping the sweat from his face with an expensive golden silk handkerchief, while the young woman beside him said with a flirtatious smile.

  The four guards behind him, however, walked with steady steps and agile figures.

  "Liu De, you're treating me to dinner today, are you trying to plead on behalf of that young lady?" Zhang Yun raised an eyebrow and glanced at the young man beside him, his tone laced with disdain.

  Liu De's face tightened, and then he awkwardly said: "Sixth Brother, you are truly intelligent to the extreme. I haven't even started speaking yet, but you already know what I want to say. That Li Ruolan really doesn't understand things, but she has always had a good relationship with me, and we have a marriage agreement. The other day, she didn't know it was Sixth Brother you, so she spoke out of turn and even splashed a cup of tea water on your body. Alas, Sixth Brother, can you please consider my face... that..."

  Liu De said as he stared at Zhang Yun's face, watching for any changes in his expression.

  The two of them were from big families in Yushui City, and although their families couldn't compare to the three major families of Yushui City, ordinary people still wouldn't dare offend them. Especially Zhang Yun, whose family may not be as prominent as the three major families, but his grandfather was a highly respected elder in Yushui City and also one of the powerful Temple Masters.

  Zhang Yun can almost walk sideways in Yushui City.

  A few days ago, Zhang Yun ran into Liu De who was drinking tea with Li Ruolan at a teahouse. He saw that Li Ruolan was as beautiful as a flower and couldn't help but make some flirtatious remarks. Unexpectedly, Li Ruolan had a bad temper and splashed a cup of tea water on him. At the time, Zhang Yun became furious and ordered someone to immediately seize Li Ruolan and bring her back to the Zhang family mansion. Zhang Yun's grandfather was an official in charge of the sacred hall, so the Zhang family had the right to set up a prison.

  Liu De and Li Ruolan are not in a ordinary relationship, they are already engaged. Who would have thought that such a thing happened while drinking tea at the teahouse? Liu De returned home and discussed with his father, who could only sigh and say: "You should apologize to Zhang Yun and ask him to release Li Ruolan. Although our Liu family is powerful, we are still inferior compared to the Zhang family."

  Having no other choice, Liu De had to swallow his pride and repeatedly invited Zhang Yun out.

  Zhang Yun smiled coldly, his lips curling up slightly as he paused for a moment before saying: "Want me to let that little girl go... hmm, wait, we'll talk about it later at the Jifu Building! This damned weather is going to suffocate this young master!"

  Liu De's face lit up with joy, and Zhang Yun said this, obviously there was a way, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice. You know, Zhang Yun in Yushui City was a tyrant, and not many people could get him to give them face. In Yushui City, big or small, the young masters of the aristocratic families, who didn't call out "Sixth Brother" when they saw him?

  Zhang Yun has five sisters, he is the sixth child.

  As they turned a corner, the Jufu Building suddenly appeared in their line of sight. Zhang Yun's face, which had originally been filled with impatience and distraction, suddenly disappeared, replaced by shock and excitement.

  His eyes fell on the door of Jufu Building and saw Xia Yan and a dark-faced man seemingly having a dispute with Wang Fuzong, the manager of Jufu Building.

  A sudden thrill ran through my whole body, and the scorching sunlight seemed to lose some of its heat all at once.

  "Liu De, take a look, isn't that Xia Yan from the Xia family?" Zhang Yun stretched out his hand and hastily asked Liu De.

  Liu De had been paying attention to Zhang Yun's expression, and seeing Zhang Yun's expression suddenly change greatly, he was still guessing what had happened. Upon hearing Zhang Yun ask this question, Liu De only then noticed the two people wearing ordinary clothes standing in front of Ju Fu Building.

  Liu De had never seen Xia Yan before, so he didn't recognize him. He shook his head and said, "It's unlikely, right? I heard that Xia Yan from the Xia family defeated Xu Huan, the first guest of the Xi family, in the North District Market a few days ago. Now, his reputation in the Xia family is rising like the sun, how could he dress so shabbily?"

  Xia Yan's victory over Xi Qiushui and Xu Huang in the North District of Fang City has spread throughout Yushui City. Xia Yan's reputation in Yushui City is now at its peak, unmatched by anyone else for the time being.

  Zhang Yun's eyes lit up, and he said: "Hmph, Brother Yan is not an ordinary person. Last time I went to see Xia Jia Xia Liuge, I ran into Brother Yan, and at that time, Brother Yan was wearing a simple outfit. If it weren't for Xia Liuge introducing us, I wouldn't have believed he was Brother Yan. Heh heh, I'm sure it's him, no mistake. Wang Fu, this stupid pig, why is he blocking Brother Yan from entering the building?"

  Zhang Yun's face was filled with a smile, this was indeed a great opportunity, if he could get closer to Xia Yan, there would be no shortage of benefits in the future.

  Liu De saw Zhang Yun calling him "brother" one after another, and couldn't help but be stunned. When did Zhang Yun become so humble? It seemed that in his memory, he had never seen Zhang Yun be so polite to someone before.

  "Sixth Brother, even if Xia Yan is different from before now, that..." Liu De couldn't help but say in a low voice.

  Zhang Yun sneered and glanced at Liu De, knowing what he wanted to say. With disdain, he said: "What do you know? Xia Liu told me that the Xia family has already made Yan Ge a key cultivation target. Do you understand? Key cultivation target, it's highly likely that he'll become the next head of the Xia family!"

  As soon as this sentence came out, Liu De was really stunned!

  The Xia family, one of the three major families in Yushui City, almost controls a quarter of Yushui City's economy! Such a family is not something that these wealthy households can compare to. If they can establish a good relationship with the future head of the Xia family...

  Liu De is not a fool either.

  "Haha, since Brother Yan is here, let's quickly go over and say hello!" Liu De woke up to his senses and hastily said with a joyful expression.

  Zhang Yun glanced at Liu De and couldn't help but feel a little regretful, thinking to himself, "Why did I blurt out all this to this kid?" Alas, consider yourself lucky, kid.

  The two of them walked quickly over, and from a distance, Zhang Yun shouted with his mouth open: "Yan Ge, is that you?"

  Xia Yan had just spoken to Wang Fu about Wang Yu Yan when he heard a shout behind him, and couldn't help but turn around to see two young men accompanied by four bodyguards hurrying over.

  "Brother Yan, it's really you, haha, I just saw Brother Yan with one glance over there." Zhang Yun called out "Brother Yan" repeatedly as he walked closer.

  Xia Yan furrowed his brow, this person seemed somewhat familiar.

  "Mr. Yan, I'm Liu De, and we also have a Liu family store in the North District of Fang City." Liu De said with a charming smile.

  "Brother Yan, I'm Xiao Liu Zi, don't you remember? At the Xia family, Xia Liu Ge, when I went to find Xia Liu Ge..."

  Zhang Yun waved his hands wildly, eager to remind Xia Yan of himself.
