"Oh... But Xiao Ran, you also know that I have retired from the world for a long time, and my current identity is an honest businessman... I am very afraid that I will be involved in some disputes in the future. Hey, back then you took Kuai Yupei came forward and said that I married my late second wife, Ping'er, with my fingertips. I believed you and let you marry the eldest girl of my family. After marriage, you took her away, and news came again It was my son who died of illness...Xiao Ran, your parents have passed away long ago. Although He can't claim to treat you like a son these years, he should have never treated you badly. I don't ask you how you want to be, but just ask for nothing. Xiao Ran, back then I always saw you as a scholar before agreeing to this marriage. Could it be that I was mistaken? As your elder, if you make a mistake, the presence of so many adults today will help you in the future Please tell me, please tell me."

(The above is a modification of the previous paragraph. I posted it here in order to avoid making a false statement. Anyway, it is the last sentence)

Xiao Ran's face was pale, his lips squirmed twice and then pursed tightly.Bai Ye suddenly took the box from Master He's hand with a "snap". "This is from Deyilou. Father-in-law, didn't I tell you? I met Xiao Ran in Deyilou. He was accompanied by two young men. One of them seemed to be involved in a big business."

What Bai Ye said was half-truth and half-false, Xiao Ran didn't like to play tricks, but he didn't know how to say it.They reunited at the gate of Deyi Building, right?Xiao Ran was traveling with a young master of the Tang family, right?

What's more, at this time, Bai Ye is helping him to speak no matter what, and it is impossible for him to stand up and say that the truth is not the case... Xiao Ran finally chose to sit with his head bowed and do whatever Bai Ye did.

As soon as Master He heard Bai Ye's words, he understood that the reason why Xiao Ran looked so respectable now was because he was accompanied by a rich man.Then he asked: "Then, what about that young master? Xiao Ran, you too, how rude you didn't invite your friends?"

It was still Bai Ye who answered. "I've seen that young master before, he's more shy of life than Xiao Ran, and usually doesn't have much to say. When Deyilou bought this cup, Xiao Ran also invited them to come with him, but those two insisted on refusing, and Xiao Ran couldn't help it."

"Hey, that's really a pity." Master He felt deeply regretful, and after sighing, he didn't ask any more questions. Naturally, Steward Yang took the ivory cup back.

As soon as Bai Ye sat down, he heard a chuckle from Bai Zhengqing beside him. "Second brother, I have told you about your nonsense skills, but it's the first time for elder brother to see it. You really have the demeanor of your father back then."

"It's easy to say, I don't dare to compare with elder brother and auntie." Bai Ye turned cold again, and stuffed vegetables with chopsticks into his mouth.

After sitting for a while, Xiao Ran got up to say goodbye, saying that he drank a little too much and it was getting late, so if he didn't go back, his friends would be worried.Naturally, there was nothing to hold back during the banquet, Master He didn't let Xiao Ran stay overnight, and after some polite words, Xiao Ran left the banquet.

When they arrived at the door, only Butler Yang saw him off. Looking at the dark sky and Xiao Ran's thin figure, Butler Yang shook his head repeatedly.

"Uncle, do you want this old slave to find a servant to take you off? It's already dark, and there is no one to accompany you, so this old slave is worried."

"No need, the place where I live is not too far from here, and it's just a walk away."

Butler Yang was still a little worried, just as he was about to order a carriage for Xiao Ran, someone ran over with a lantern behind him. "No need, my second young master asked me to send Mr. Xiao back, please trouble housekeeper Yang, you can do your work."

"Oh, it's cute... Then I'll trouble you." Butler Yang felt relieved when he saw that he was cute.Although he didn't know why Young Master Bai's personal servant followed Xiao Ran all the time today, but he was relieved to see Xiao Ran was well taken care of, so he personally opened the back door for the two of them.

Before leaving, Xiao Ran bowed deeply to Steward Yang. "Steward Yang, you must take care of yourself."

"Hey, uncle, don't be like this, don't be like this... Come back and take a look when you have time, even if you don't go back to He Mansion, you can still come and see the old slave, and see the places Miss Qionghua used to love to go." Yang Butler knew After such a farewell, I don't know when we will see each other again. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I quickly wiped it with my sleeve, and said with a forced smile: "The old slave has lost his composure, sir, please go slowly."

After Xiao Ran returned to the hotel, he told Huanxi to go back by himself, and not long after entering the door, Tang Mubai pulled Li Yunfei over and knocked on the door.

"Brother Xiao, is it fun today? Is there a lot of people? Are there any jugglers?" Xiao Tang asked Xiao Ran excitedly as soon as he entered the door.

"Well, there are quite a lot of people, and the jugglers seem to have set up a stage in the yard, but I didn't go to see it, and I don't know the situation." Xiao Ran was pulled forward by Xiao Tang, and he helped the table. stand firm. "I heard that there will be fireworks at night. If you want to go, let Brother Li accompany you."

"There are still fireworks, it's really lively...By the way, didn't Brother Bai come back together?" Tang Mubai has always been interested in Bai Ye for some reason, and every time Xiao Ran and Bai Ye came back after going out, he would ask him a question.

"Master Bai is Master He's most valued son-in-law, who would let him go today, not to mention that I heard that Bai Ye usually lives in the He Mansion, and why did he come here after the banquet?" Li Yunfei was careful, Bai Ye He put all his attention on Xiao Ran every time he came, it's not that he didn't realize it.Even if the two had known each other before, but Bai Ye paid so much attention to Xiao Ran, it still made him look sideways.

Also, at the beginning, he found that Xiao Ran was deliberately indifferent to Bai Ye, and sometimes he obviously didn't want to have any communication with Bai Ye. Although he is much kinder now, Li Yunfei always wants to know what Bai Ye did wrong before. What is it that makes such a good old man like Xiao Ran unable to forgive?With an idea in mind, he will naturally pay attention to it. An outstanding person like Bai Ye will not be unobtrusive anywhere, let alone Jiankang City, where Li Yunfei has been staying for so many years. Afterwards, he probably knew a little bit about what kind of person Bai Ye was in Jiankang City.Li Yunfei also understood how much Master He valued this son-in-law.

Tang Mubai pouted when he heard this, obviously a little unhappy. "But I think we're going to leave tomorrow. Couldn't Brother Bai and Huxi come to see us off?"

Xiao Ran smiled and patted him as comfort. "He still doesn't know that we have decided to leave tomorrow. In fact, if you still don't want to leave, you can stay and play for a few more days. Yunfei and I will go to the next town to wait for you first."

"Ah? Why can't we stay together? I'm alone, what if I can't find you at that time? Don't! Brother Xiao, Brother Yunfei, let's stay together? I heard Brother Yunfei this morning Said that the time of stay this time is too short, and I haven't visited many places properly!" Xiao Tang was not happy when he heard this, he pulled Xiao Ran's sleeve and said coquettishly.

Generally, it is a bit disgusting for a man to act like a baby, but Xiao Tang is originally delicate and cute, and his family is so spoiled that he still has a childish appearance. It is really embarrassing for Xiao Ran to act like a baby and pretend to be pitiful. up.

Xiao Ran didn't want to stay any longer.Originally, he was too familiar with Jiankang City, and he brought too many bad memories with him. If Yunfei and Xiao Tang hadn't said they wanted to come to this place, he would definitely avoid it.

What's more, Bai Ye is still here now.

Bai Ye, Bai Ye, after all, is a shady existence in his heart.

Loved, hurt, hurt, can really dilute everything in two years?

Facing Bai Ye, he would always feel flustered, and he would always have the urge to close his eyes and not want to see that person again, and cover his ears so that he could not hear that person's voice.

It is not a thorn in the bottom of my heart, but a wound that cannot heal.

Bai Ye, this name and this person always reminded Xiao Ran of how foolish he thought they were in love back then, reminded Xiao Ran of how shameless he was when he fell in love with a man of the same sex, reminded Xiao Ran, He actually used to lie under that person's body to get joy and spiritual comfort...

"Okay, Xiao Tang, haven't you seen your brother Xiao's exhausted appearance? Let him rest first, let's discuss this matter tomorrow?" Yun Fei saw Xiao Ran's hesitation, and Xiao Tang's expression of not achieving his goal. As if swearing not to give up, he dragged Xiao Tang out. "Brother Xiao, you should rest early, I will plan the next trip with Xiao Tang, don't worry about it."

Since Xiao Ran is the oldest among the three, and also the one who has been traveling for a long time, the general itinerary is arranged by Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran knew that Yun Fei was trying to save him, so he simply smiled and sent the two of them out of the room. "It's a little tired, then Yunfei, you have worked harder."

After calling Xiao Er to bring the bath water and take a hot bath to make him feel comfortable physically and mentally, Xiao Ran changed into clean clothes, carefully took out the tablet of Qionghua from the package, and placed it beside his pillow.

Finally, blow out the candles, and the room is clean.

Bai Ye didn't stay much time during the banquet, as soon as Xiao Ran left, his face never softened, and even a few masters came over to toast him, but they ignored him.

He has good reasons, the ranking on the Jianghu rankings and the status of the second young master of Xuantianmen, whichever he takes out is the capital that can make all the martial arts people here bow their heads.

Mr. He was embarrassed, it was not a thing to say that his precious son-in-law had such a cold face at the birthday banquet, so he came over to express his condolences in person.Bai Ye also simply raised his glass to signal a toast, then directly raised his head to pay his respects, and finally threw the glass on the table, got up and wanted to leave.

The series of movements were so fast that the old and frail Master He didn't have time to react, he held a cup in his hand and looked at Bai Ye who was about to leave the table in a daze.

Of course, there are also those who are arrogant and always can't accept people who are more arrogant than them, such as the young master of the Divine Sword Sect.In fact, he has been upset for a long time, there is no way, whoever makes Bai Ye more popular than him is more eye-catching than him.

Seeing Bai Ye's disrespectful appearance, the young master finally couldn't help expressing his disdain and dissatisfaction with a soft snort.

It is said that such a soft hum among the crowd was not very noticeable, but it was a pity that Bai Ye heard it.

Usually, I hear it when I hear it. Bai Ye doesn't necessarily want to be serious with this kind of kid. Unfortunately, today I'm holding back the suffocation. There are those who Xiao Ran refused to touch him before, and Master He who embarrasses Xiao Ran. I remembered that Xiao Ran was here because I forcibly kept him here...

He paused, turned around and walked behind the young sect master, put his left hand on his left shoulder, bent slightly, and took a chopstick of the young sect master in one hand. "Young man, if you are dissatisfied, you should speak out loudly, and hide in the crowd of people, who will pay attention to you?"

While talking, he poked and poked on the table casually with his chopsticks, every time he poked a hole on the thick pear wood round table, he could see the shy little feet of the young sect master underneath.

"You!" When did the young sect master ever suffer such grievances, he wanted to stand up as soon as the table was slapped, but for some reason, he didn't have any strength at all, he just felt that all the strength in his body was going to his left shoulder, and he understood when he lowered his head to check , the flow of all the strength turned out to be Bai Ye's hand on his shoulder.

Could it be that what this person learned is a third-rate kung fu that can steal other people's internal energy?The young sect master was startled, and hurriedly twisted his waist to break free from Bai Ye's control, but unexpectedly, the stool turned into powder, and he sat on the ground in a state of embarrassment.

Bai Ye laughed, and stretched out his hand kindly to pull the young master to stand up. "The horizontal kung fu of this body is really powerful, the chair is all broken. Young sect master, don't use too much force, be careful that my father-in-law asks you to pay for the chair!"

Bai Zhengqing and the others on the side could see clearly that Bai Ye had clearly induced the young sect master's own internal force to melt the chair. What was terrifying was not Bai Ye's use of force, but his meticulous control of the force when the chair was shattered.

It is very simple to shatter a chair, as long as you have a little brute force, you can do it, but first shatter the pear wood chair completely without making a fuss, but keep it as it is, and only change under the external force of the young sect master. It became such a fine powder state, which is the reason why everyone changed color after Bai Ye's move.

The master of the Divine Sword Sect also stood up at this time, bowing to Bai Ye. "Master Bai, if the little dog offends you by being ignorant, I hope you will forgive me!"

Bai Ye casually stuffed the weak-footed young sect master onto a chair, and then saluted the sect master.Although this gift was a bit sloppy.

"You're joking, how could I argue with a child." Bai Ye was about to stand upright when a pressure came from his hand, he raised his head slightly, and saw the hand of the sect master making a fist in front of his eyes.

Well, no matter how you say it, it's not good to cut off your son's face in front of his father, but is Bai Ye a soft person?The corners of his lips twitched and he was about to go mad when his eyes blurred when the special envoy, Big Brother Bai, stood in front of him.

"The head of the sect is really a strict father. Come here, I will toast you." Bai Zhengqing raised the cup in his hand to drink it up, and pressed it on the table, the cup sank into the table, and the rim of the cup was just level with the table.

The door master's face was a bit ugly.In fact, this trick is not difficult to do on weekdays, why not just punch a cup into the table?However, it is really difficult to put down and press the cup casually, and keep it just flat without using too much force to make the cup poke a transparent hole on the table and fall to the ground.

"Oh, I drank too much, I lost the wine glass! Haha!" Brother Bai seemed to think that the faces of the people were not good enough, and while smiling, he took the wine pot and gave it to the little girl embedded in the table. The wine cup was filled, and he patted the table lightly. With a "poof", the small wine cup was shaken out of the table and landed lightly beside the depression just now as if being held by an invisible hand.

As a result, everyone's faces became more and more ugly.

If this move is played skillfully, it is not difficult.However, this wine cup is the fine thin porcelain specially selected by Mr. He this time. It is the kind that is exquisite and transparent to the light source. It goes without saying how delicate the porcelain is, not to mention that there is wine in the wine cup!

Given a cup, how much ingenuity does it take to make a hole on the table that fits right in and keep the cup from breaking?

When taking pictures, you must also ensure that there is not a single drop of wine in the glass!

So Big Brother Bai cheerfully turned around and bowed to Bai Ye who was watching his performance with a cold face and arms folded. "Second young master, if you feel uncomfortable, go back to the house and rest. I will take care of these distinguished guests of Mr. He for you."

Bai Ye twitched the corner of his mouth as a thank you, turned around and left.

"Hey, hey! My son-in-law..." Master He stepped forward and wanted to stop Bai Ye, but the special envoy's feet flickered, and he was blocked in front of Master He.

"Master He, my second young master seems to be in a bad mood tonight, let him go, I will respect you instead of my second young master, come on..."
