Yan Shouyi sprayed Long Feicheng’s face with milk. If it had been a little more, it might have given Long Feicheng a milk bath.
Long Feicheng wiped his face and looked at Yan Shouyi pitifully.
“Brother Yan, you must stand up for me!!~”
Yan Shouyi quickly wiped his mouth and handed the napkin to Long Feicheng, urging him to wipe his face as well.
Clearing his throat, Yan Shouyi said, “But Luo Ning didn’t lie to you, there was really no one in the room…”
Weng Qianxiang chimed in teasingly, “He’s just infatuated, being used by Luo Ning. Can’t blame anyone, hahahaha!”
“Look at you, you scoundrel!” Long Feicheng retorted, “You’re here laughing your head off, why don’t you think about why Luo Ning only tricked me and not you? Is it because you’re not as handsome and suave as me?”
Weng Qianxiang was dumbfounded.
In terms of strength, Weng Qianxiang was indeed not strong, but in terms of appearance, he was absolutely confident that he could outshine Long Feicheng by miles.
However, Weng Qianxiang still cupped his fists and said, “As expected of Brother Long, with your words, even Han San would be ashamed!”
Han San had already become the universally acknowledged King of Sycophants, but unexpectedly, Long Feicheng had surpassed him and taken the lead!
When several men got together, they just kept bantering and fooling around.
As they were eating and chatting, a pair of twin girls suddenly appeared in the restaurant. They scanned the restaurant and, upon seeing Yan Shouyi, walked straight towards him.
Seeing this, Long Feicheng immediately nudged A Gong and He Xiping with his elbow. “I just saw those two girls looking at you guys, they’re probably coming over to hit on you. Keep your composure!”
A Gong said sternly, “Don’t joke around. I’m a married man.”
Despite his words, A Gong couldn’t help but straighten his back, making himself look more spirited.
He Xiping, the sly one, said nothing but quietly smoothed his hair.
The main reason was that this pair of twin girls was quite attractive, already beautiful, and being twins was an added bonus.
When the twin girls approached, they didn’t pay much attention to He Xiping and A Gong, but instead said to Yan Shouyi,
“Young Master, we have guests from Rongcheng.”
A Gong and He Xiping were stunned.
Weren't these two beautiful twin girls coming to chat them up? Why were they calling Yan Shouyi ‘Young Master’?
Long Feicheng, Weng Qianxiang, and Wang Jiwang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
The twin girls were the female assistants, Lin Yu and Lin Yin, whom Ye Chengfu had brought earlier to take care of Lin Zitong.
The three of them naturally knew these twin beauties. Long Feicheng had been teased by everyone earlier, so he took the opportunity to get back at them and play a prank on A Gong and He Xiping.
Having learned the truth, A Gong and He Xiping glared at Long Feicheng indignantly.
He Xiping snapped his fingers, and Long Feicheng, who was laughing merrily, suddenly felt a chill in his lower body. He looked down and saw that his belt had been untied at some point, and his pants had fallen to his knees.
“Damn it, it’s fine to play around, but why did you have to get physical!”
Long Feicheng was overcome with shame and quickly pulled up his pants.
Lin Yin and Lin Yu, the sister pair, also blushed, not daring to look at Long Feicheng.
“Alright, stop fooling around.”
Yan Shouyi waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down, and then asked Lin Yu, “Guests from Rongcheng?”
Lin Yu nodded. “It seems to be a senior brother from Miss’s Lushanshu sect. Grandfather Ye is entertaining him now. He asked you to go over first.”
“Okay.”
Yan Shouyi didn’t ask further. He shoveled a few mouthfuls of food into his mouth and then got up to follow the sisters.
However, he had his doubts.
Why would people from the Lushanshu sect come to Chang’an?
With such convenient communication these days, couldn’t they just contact him by phone?
Still harboring his doubts, Yan Shouyi took the elevator back to the high-rise suite, outside the room where the elder Ye Chengfu resided.
The door was slightly ajar, as if awaiting Yan Shouyi’s arrival.
Lin Yu and Lin Yin stopped at the doorway, standing guard on either side.
“Young Master, Grandfather Ye and the guest are inside.”
“Mm.”
Yan Shouyi nodded and strode into the suite.
As soon as he entered, Yan Shouyi saw the elder Ye Chengfu sitting on the sofa, making tea.
His gaze followed, and he saw two familiar figures sitting opposite Ye Chengfu.
Yan Shouyi’s face lit up with surprise. “Huang Dahai, Zhou Yuquan?”
These two were old acquaintances of Yan Shouyi. When Yan Shouyi first arrived in Rongcheng, he met them, and then they fought side by side, clearing the Ping’an Building and pacifying the Bai family of Feifeng Mountain.
Huang Dahai and Zhou Yuquan were both older than Yan Shouyi, but their camaraderie meant that no excessive formality was needed. Moreover, Yan Shouyi’s status was now quite extraordinary, so they didn’t find it strange for him to address them by name.
The two also smiled, stood up to greet him, and exchanged pleasantries.
Yan Shouyi took a seat, and Ye Chengfu stood up to pour him tea. Yan Shouyi quickly waved his hands, preferring to pour the tea himself.
While pouring tea for the guests, Yan Shouyi asked, “What brings you two here?”
Huang Dahai and Zhou Yuquan exchanged glances and said, “We’re mainly here regarding Junior Sister Zitong’s succession to the sect leader position.”
Yan Shouyi suddenly understood.
Previously, Lu Jing was jealous of Lu Jingsheng’s position as sect leader. Later, when Lu Jingsheng left, the sect leader position truly fell into Lu Jing’s hands. However, with Lu Jing’s fiery temper, he discovered after taking office that being the sect leader wasn’t so easy, so he decided to abdicate and pass on the position not long after.
The next sect leader was undoubtedly Lin Zitong, and all the elders of the Lushanshu sect unanimously agreed.
However, Lin Zitong was still young. To succeed, she needed the recognition of some established small sects around Rongcheng. Therefore, before the Luoshan Gathering at Longhu Mountain, Lin Zitong accompanied Lu Jing on various visits, essentially to increase her visibility and goodwill.
At the same time, Lin Zitong also went out to sea to find a master to temporarily suppress the development of her child.
Now that everything was settled and Lin Zitong’s mortal peril had been resolved, it was likely that Lu Jing was truly unwilling to continue, so he sent Huang Dahai and Zhou Yuquan in person to urge Lin Zitong to return to Rongcheng as soon as possible to assume the position of sect leader.
Thinking of this, Yan Shouyi’s smile widened. “Let Old Man Lu Jing wait a few more days. We’ve just finished here and still have a lot of aftermath to deal with! Besides, shouldn’t you at least let Zitong rest for a few days to catch her breath?”
Yan Shouyi spoke entirely from the perspective of a husband, his words considerate of Lin Zitong, with a hint of pride in his tone.
However, Huang Dahai and Zhou Yuquan’s expressions were not so natural.
They seemed hesitant to speak, and after a great deal of internal struggle, they said,
“Something unexpected has happened, and Junior Sister Zitong may not be able to succeed to the position of sect leader. We traveled all this way just to inform you.”
