Chapter 1377 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
“Your Yan family also has a rather famous weapon. Even if they don’t dare to mess with the Yan family now, they will always come knocking on our door for the sake of Tianwenjue.”
“If that doesn’t work, you should all move to Peach Blossom Manor. It won’t be easy for those people to get past the illusion array of my Peach Blossom Manor,” Shen Linsu added. “Don’t let Miaomiao be in danger.”
"Don't worry, brother, I'll protect Miaomiao. No one dares to touch the Yan family yet. Ever since those people started their operation, the Yan family has been well prepared. After all, our Yan family needs to remain active in the martial arts world. Even without those mysterious organizations, we still face various dangers." Yan Rugo said confidently. "If they weren't absolutely certain, they wouldn't dare to touch the Yan family. However, a while ago, a thief broke into our house, but nothing was stolen. I guess it was one of those people who wanted to ask for the Heavenly Questions."
"I reckon they'd only dare to steal our Yan family's weapons secretly."
Shen Linsu's expression relaxed a little: "That's good."
"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine. Besides, I'm not someone to be trifled with, and I even have decent martial arts skills." Shen Miao walked in. "But you, brother, don't you get bored staying in Peach Blossom Manor all day, so isolated from the world?"
"I'm used to it, and I think it's fine," Shen Linsu said.
Shen Miao smiled and shook her head: "You're living a comfortable life, but you should at least think about Yue'er, right? She can't stay in Peach Blossom Manor forever. Even if she's going to manage Peach Blossom Manor in the future, she should go out into the world and experience its dangers before she gets cheated."
“That’s true.” Shen Linsu said thoughtfully. He glanced at Shen Yue, who was sitting obediently to the side, her eyes full of expectation. He smiled and said, “It seems that Yue’er really wants to go out and see the world.”
"Will Daddy take me out to play?" Shen Yue asked expectantly.
"Once the rainy season is over, Dad will make some plans to take you out to see the world," Shen Linsu said.
Shen Yue said, "Dad doesn't like going outside, so it's fine if he doesn't go. I can go out with my aunt and see the sights. Besides, I've hardly ever seen Brother Yanqing in all my years. If I go back with my aunt, I can play with Brother Yanqing."
These words made Shen Linsu laugh again, and then he thought about it and realized it might be a good idea.
Shen Miao knew he had taken it to heart, so she quickly replied, "That's a good idea. Now, the Yan family not only has your brother Yan Qing, but also brother Chu Yanzhi, who is ten years old this year and two years older than Yan Qing."
"Is it Aunt Lan's child?" Shen Yue asked.
Shen Miao shook her head: "No, she was a disciple taken in by your Uncle Xu. There was originally a younger sister named Zhen'er, but unfortunately... she disappeared along with your Uncle Xu, and her fate is unknown. So much time has passed..."
"I see," Shen Yue nodded. "Then it's settled. I'll go back with my aunt. Dad, do you agree?"
"You've all reached an agreement, and both sides are satisfied. If I were to object, wouldn't I be a villain?"
Shen Yue laughed; her father had agreed.
The child couldn't sit still and left after a while.
The three people inside the room turned serious: "Do you think there's a high chance that Brother Xu and his daughter will survive?"
"I'm afraid it's unlikely." Yan Rugo shook her head. "So many days have passed. If Brother Xu were still alive, we would have heard from him long ago. Knowing his personality, he would have appeared much sooner and wouldn't have worried his wife."
“Then we shouldn’t give up the search. Even if it’s just a body, we have to find it,” Shen Miao said. “Now that Brother Xu is gone, Sister Xiaolan is a weak woman with a child, and life is difficult for her. If we don’t hear from her for a while, she’ll probably have to go back to the Yi family.”
"Not only is the journey long, but we also don't know what the situation will be like when we get back."
"I think..."
At this point in her speech, the two people present, who were not fools, understood that Shen Miao must have something in mind, and both stared at her.
Shen Miao felt a little uneasy under his gaze, but still said, "Sister-in-law has been gone for many years, hasn't you considered it, brother? I noticed before that you've been paying attention to Sister Xiaolan several times. Apart from how you treat sister-in-law, you've never given a second glance to any woman in the martial world." "Sister Xiaolan is extremely beautiful, it's normal for you to take a second look. I'm just mentioning it. Don't be so quick to deny it, brother. If you really like each other and think it's a good match, I think it's a wonderful thing."
“Big Brother likes to be in a secluded place, and Sister Xiaolan is the same. If she hadn’t wanted a peaceful life, Brother Xu wouldn’t have retired from the martial world at such a young age,” Shen Miao added. “If they hadn’t been approached this time, they might not have shown up and would still be living their own little lives.”
Yan Rugo said, "That's true."
“That’s true, but it hasn’t been that long. Madam, you shouldn’t rush to talk about this. Your brother can also think about it some more,” he advised.
"Don't worry, I didn't say anything," Shen Miao said. "I just suddenly had this thought. Sister Xiaolan is still so young, and she has a child with her. She can't just be lonely for the rest of her life, can she?"
“Big brother has been lonely for so long. Yue’er is still young. As she grows up, many things will be inconvenient if there is no female elder to remind her.”
The people present seemed to be deep in thought, but they didn't continue the topic. They had all taken these words to heart.
It rained for the next month, so the group had to stay at Peach Blossom Manor.
Compared to when she first arrived, Yi Xiaolan was in a much better mood.
The scenery of Peach Blossom Manor also captivated her.
She didn't know when it started, but she and Shen Linsu began to meet more often. At first, it was just a simple greeting, but later they would sit together and chat. They would talk for a long time, and she discovered they had quite a lot in common. Before she knew it, their relationship had grown closer.
When facing Shen Yue, Yi Xiaolan became more affectionate, and Shen Yue did not reject her.
Yan Rugo and Shen Miao witnessed these scenes and believed that things were very likely to succeed.
On the other side, due to the heavy rain, Azhen and Xushan were also trapped in a small town, unable to travel and with no news from the outside world.
Azhen wasn't in a hurry; she was living a very comfortable life and continued to study the Heaven-Asking Blade.
Xu Shan couldn't help but laugh when he saw this: "You silly girl, I've already said that the name 'Asking the Heavens Blade' is just a coincidence, and it doesn't hold any secrets. You've been studying it for so many days and haven't figured out anything. It definitely doesn't."
Azhen shook her head. Originally, it would have been simple to uncover the secret of the Heavenly Blade, but unfortunately, fate was not on her side, so she couldn't do it and had to postpone it for the time being.
Ignoring Xu Shan's mockery, she continued to tinker with the Heaven-Asking Blade.
But in her heart, she was planning that once she figured out the secret of the Heavenly Blade, she would put a fake one in front of her, so that those who wanted to steal the Heavenly Blade would suffer a terrible defeat.
Xu Shan felt a chill, but didn't think anything was wrong; he just assumed it was because the temperature had dropped due to the rain.
The rain gradually subsided that day.
At Peach Blossom Manor, Yi Xiaolan, who had just gotten up, was told by a servant that Shen Linsu had received new information about Xu Shan and asked her to come over.
Yi Xiaolan's heart skipped a beat, her mind a jumble of thoughts, but she still rushed over quickly.
Upon entering the hall, they saw that Shen Linsu and the other two had serious expressions, with a hint of regret.
"This might be bad news," Shen Linsu said. "Two completely decomposed bodies were found on the beach; it turned out to be a man and a little girl." (End of Chapter)
