“Boss, Sijifu is a century-old restaurant in the capital, and its roast duck is the best in the capital.”
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Zhuge Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief and spoke his first sentence.
As Zhuge Chu had said, Sijifu’s roast duck was second to none. Even though it was noon, people were queuing up to eat.
Zhuge Chu took out a card with a gold edge and handed it to the waiter.
“So, it’s Young Master Zhuge. Please come inside!”
After checking the information, the waiter smiled, returned the card to Zhuge Chu, and led them up to the fourth floor.
“Why is there no Tian-level room?” Zhuge Chu was a little dissatisfied to see it was only a Di-level private room.
After all, he was hosting Ye Kunlun.
“Young Master Zhuge, the Tian-level private room has also been booked by a distinguished guest today.”
“This one will do!”
Ye Kunlun said faintly and entered the private room.
“Boss, this is the first time I’m hosting you, and I didn’t expect it to be a Di-level private room.” Zhuge Chu looked self-reproachful.
“Zhuge Chu, who is Zhuge Qianli to you?”
After being seated, Ye Kunlun asked Zhuge Chu faintly.
Hearing Ye Kunlun’s question, Zhuge Chu, who hadn’t even sat down, immediately stood up.
“Boss, Zhuge Qianli is my ancestor. You know my ancestor?”
Zhuge Chu’s expression was somewhat excited.
Ye Kunlun continued, “My master mentioned him. Zhuge Qianli’s mastery of Qimen Dunjia was superb. Very few people in this world could escape the formations he set up!”
Zhuge Chu quickly chimed in, “That’s natural. My ancestor is the greatest genius in my Zhuge family for thousands of years.”
As he spoke, Zhuge Chu’s expression turned melancholic, and he sighed, “However, two hundred years ago, my ancestor disappeared, and a large part of our Zhuge family’s Qimen Dunjia techniques also vanished.”
“As a result, the Zhuge family has declined to a third-rate family in the capital.”
Listening to Zhuge Chu’s words, Ye Kunlun’s expression remained calm.
“So, you found me?”
Ye Kunlun’s gaze sharpened, with a hint of coldness.
Zhuge Chu shivered and quickly explained, “Boss, I, I didn’t mean to approach you. It’s just that before my ancestor disappeared, he left behind a message.”
From the moment Zhuge Chu approached Ye Kunlun, Ye Kunlun knew he had come prepared.
He just hadn’t exposed him.
Ye Kunlun asked, “What message?”
“The Patriarch said that the Zhuge family needed to wait for someone in the capital. When that person arrived, the Xuan Gui Well in the clan would spring forth with water again!”
“The day you entered the capital, the Xuan Gui Well, which had been dry for over two hundred years, began to surge with water again!”
Zhuge Chu did not hide anything from Ye Kunlun, explaining everything.
After hearing Zhuge Chu’s words, Ye Kunlun frowned slightly and asked, “Hundreds of thousands of people enter the capital every day. How did you determine that the person you were waiting for was me?”
“I have the list of everyone who entered the capital, and I have memorized every name!” Zhuge Chu continued. “It was only after seeing your involvement in incidents like the Wujian Prison, the Jing Lei Sect, and the death of Zhou Lie that I confirmed you were the person my Zhuge family was waiting for!”
Ye Kunlun chuckled lightly, “Did Zhuge Qianli ever tell you why you needed to wait for this person?”
“This…”
Zhuge Chu was stunned. He seemed to not know the reason.
“Boss, do you know?”
Zhuge Chu grinned, looking at Ye Kunlun with some awkwardness.
“I am not the person you are waiting for!”
Ye Kunlun replied faintly, “After this meal today, do not seek me out again!”
Hearing this, Zhuge Chu became anxious, “Boss, how do you know you are not the person our Zhuge family is waiting for?”
“Your Zhuge family doesn’t even know the reason, yet you foolishly waited in the capital for two hundred years for a nonexistent person. No wonder you declined and became a third-rate family!”
Ye Kunlun replied with amusement.
“It’s impossible to be wrong.”
Zhuge Chu shook his head. “From the moment I saw you, I was sure that you were the person our Zhuge family was waiting for!”
“Although I don’t know why my ancestor left that message, my intuition won’t lie to me!”
Zhuge Chu stared at Ye Kunlun with absolute certainty.
Saying that, he took out a gray turtle shell from his pocket.
When Ye Kunlun saw the turtle shell, his eyes narrowed, because he had seen a similar turtle shell in Kunlun.
“Although my Qimen Dunjia techniques are not as good as my ancestor’s, I have a slight understanding of them.”
As his voice fell, Zhuge Chu formed a hand seal.
Suddenly, the Xuan Gui Jia lit up, and a pattern appeared on it, pointing directly at Ye Kunlun!
A mysterious force emerged, attempting to probe Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun snorted lightly, “You truly have only learned a fraction of it!”
With Ye Kunlun’s snort, Zhuge Chu’s hand seal was instantly broken, and the Xuan Gui Jia dimmed.
“Cough, cough!”
Zhuge Chu coughed twice, his cheeks feeling a little hot.
“Boss, if you still don’t believe me, you can come back to the Zhuge family with me to see the Xuan Gui Well.”
Zhuge Chu seemed unwilling to give up.
“No need.”
Ye Kunlun refused. “My master and Zhuge Qianli were old acquaintances. For my master’s sake, you can stay by my side during my time in the capital!”
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Chu’s face lit up with joy. “Yes, boss!”
“Let’s eat first!”
——
Tang family.
“Big Sister, you’re finally back, *sob sob*…”
Tang Tangtang threw herself into Tang Zhuozhuo’s arms, her face filled with grievance. “That guy surnamed Ye is too much. Not only did he capture my men, but he also laid hands on me. Even Second Sister suffered a setback at his hands.”
Upon meeting Tang Zhuozhuo, Tang Tangtang immediately went to complain about Ye Kunlun. “You must help me get justice!”
Tang Zhuozhuo couldn’t help but smile upon hearing her beloved sister’s words. “You little rascal, stop putting on a show for me.”
Tang Tangtang rubbed her eyes and pouted. “Big Sister, I’m not acting!”
“Look, he bruised my arm!”
Tang Tangtang stretched out her arm, but there was no bruise there.
Tang Tangtang stuck out her tongue. “Anyway, I don’t care. Big Sister, you absolutely cannot marry him, otherwise, I’ll have to call him brother-in-law in the future.”
Tang Zhuozhuo’s eyes curved into crescent moons. She looked at her sister slyly and said, “If you don’t want to call him brother-in-law, that’s fine too.”
“Ah?” Tang Tangtang thought her elder sister had changed her mind. “That’s great! Big Sister doesn’t have to marry him anymore.”
“You can marry him with Big Sister too.”
Tang Zhuozhuo poked Tang Tangtang’s forehead and laughed heartily.
“Ah!!”
Tang Tangtang was startled and shook her head like a rattle drum. “No, I don’t want to! That guy is so fierce, I don’t want to marry him!!”
“I’m quite curious, though!”
Tang Zhuozhuo became even more curious about her fiancé whom she had never met. She took Tang Tangtang’s hand and said with a smile, “Come, let’s go meet him together.”
“I’m not going, I’m not going!”
Tang Tangtang’s face was full of bitterness. She truly didn’t understand her elder sister, how could she like someone she had never met.
In the end, Tang Tangtang was still dragged to Wujian Prison by Tang Zhuozhuo!
