Did Su Nan Yin have something to say to Li Qian Fan privately?
As everyone subconsciously looked at Li Qian Fan, Old Shen, who had just finished his call, suddenly said, "Guanyin, hold on a moment."
Old Shen also had something to say.
Su Nan Yin stopped and looked at him with everyone else.
"I need to make an urgent trip to Si Jiu, departing immediately."
Old Shen stood up from his chair and slowly scanned the Shen family disciples in the main hall, "Everyone, please disperse for now and take care of your own responsibilities."
Shen Family Old Residence—
Strictly speaking, this was the home of Su Nan Yin, Shen Zui, Shen Yun, and Du Jun Lin, the mother and daughters.
It was also the family property built up by Su Nan Yin's parents for their only daughter when they were still alive.
It occupied a vast area, with three courtyards in succession.
Although Old Shen visited this place less than a handful of times a month, both the Shen family disciples and outsiders were accustomed to calling this old residence the Shen Family Old Residence.
Therefore, when Old Shen gave the order for dozens of core disciples to disperse, except for Su Nan Yin and her daughters, everyone bowed in farewell and left for their respective homes.
Out of basic courtesy.
As they left, everyone specifically nodded to Li Qian Fan, expressing, "Let's catch up again sometime."
In the blink of an eye.
The living room, which had originally housed over thirty people, was now left with only five.
Li Qian Fan.
Old Shen and Su Nan Yin.
Shen Zui and Shen Yun, who had just returned to Lingnan that morning.
Of course, there were also household staff, as the Shen Family Old Residence was large, but those people certainly didn't count.
"Qian Fan, escort me to my car."
Old Shen, with his hands behind his back, said to Li Qian Fan with a gentle expression, nodded at Su Nan Yin, and walked out of the living room.
At the entrance to the old residence.
"Qian Fan, how do you view your mother's resignation?"
Old Shen stood at the door, looking up north with a slight frown.
Although he was quite dissatisfied with this ungrateful brat in his heart (due to Du Jun Lin's matter), given his status and position, he would naturally not stoop to Li Qian Fan's level.
Even if Li Qian Fan had done something excessively wrong.
Old Shen would not glare at him.
He would only go find his scumbag father—
"It's a consequence of my temporary irrationality and posting that video last night."
Li Qian Fan was quite self-aware.
"The root of this matter is not your fault."
Old Shen looked at him, "The blame can only be placed on Mao Mao's insistence on marrying Lin Yi Feng years ago. Blame me for not being able to persuade Mao Mao when I saw their marriage wouldn't be happy, and finally agreeing to their marriage.
"Even more to blame is my attitude towards the Si Jiu Shen family, always unwilling to completely sever ties, which gave them the opportunity to sow discord between the Shen and Li families!"
Old Shen sighed with emotion, "Speaking of Li Wujiang's resignation, our Shen family is the main culprit. After all, if Lin Yi Feng hadn't been bought over, this wouldn't have happened."
Shen Yue was Shen Yue after all!
He never shirked the responsibility that was his to bear.
Of course.
If Li Wujiang hadn't resigned, he might have indeed taught a certain brat a lesson today.
Li Qian Fan smiled and remained silent.
"I have two questions for you."
Shen Yue said, "First, can you and Jun Lin get back together?"
Li Qian Fan shook his head without hesitation.
Shen Yue was not disappointed—
He smiled, "It seems you've been with Jun Lin all these days."
"Huh!?"
Li Qian Fan was stunned.
Shen Yue said, "Everyone knows Jun Lin went to the Black Water Forest. She's been gone for so long with no news. From a conventional perspective, both you and I would subconsciously think she's no longer among the living. But when I asked if you could reconcile with her, you instinctively shook your head, indicating it's impossible. You didn't ask me how you could remarry if Jun Lin might be gone. This shows you knew long ago where Jun Lin was."
Li Qian Fan's eyes widened.
He thought of the words "old fox."
"Actually, your Aunt Nan Yin told me last night that she could clearly sense a bloody, fierce aura from you, the kind Jun Lin only had when she returned from missions. This is also why you lost control of your emotions somewhat last night."
Shen Yue raised his hand and gently patted Li Qian Fan's shoulder.
He said, "During this period, you were deeply immersed in pleasure with Chu Yazhi by your side. How could you possibly have a bloody aura? The only explanation is that the Li Qian Fan who was with Chu Yazhi was a substitute."
Li Qian Fan scratched the back of his head and said nothing.
"You are Bai Du Niao."
Shen Yue looked into Li Qian Fan's eyes and asked softly, "Isn't that right?"
Under the gaze of the old fox's wise eyes, Li Qian Fan could only nod.
He honestly replied, "Bai Du Niao is composed of myself, Du Jun Lin, and two of my friends. As for who the other two friends are, please forgive me for not being able to tell you. But honestly, I don't even know who one of them is."
Shen Yue didn't pay attention to the other two people Li Qian Fan mentioned.
He only asked, "Jun Lin returned to Lingnan with you, didn't she?"
Li Qian Fan replied, "Yes. I don't know where exactly she went."
"You've done well."
Shen Yue raised his hand again and patted his shoulder, "Before, many people, including myself, misunderstood you. In this regard, you are a good child, you haven't disgraced your parents. Of course, I also understand your reasons for concealing your whereabouts. After all, who would want to do something like exterminating an entire clan? So rest assured, I will never tell anyone that you are Bai Du Niao."
His tone shifted.
He continued, "But this means you will have to endure much hardship."
He was risking his life and death, going against heavenly principles and facing retribution by exterminating an entire clan, yet he couldn't tell anyone.
Furthermore, being verbally abused by the entire internet, especially by villains like Lin Yi Feng, as a coward, certainly didn't feel good.
Shen Yue had also been young once, so he naturally understood Li Qian Fan's anger at being unjustly humiliated.
"It's fine."
Li Qian Fan was rather indifferent.
"Second matter."
Shen Yue pondered for a long time before saying, "From now on, how do you plan to interact with Jun Lin?"
Li Qian Fan shrugged, "She has already broken off the engagement. Our future relationship can at most be that of friends, or like siblings from established families."
Heh heh.
Shen Yue smiled enigmatically.
For the third time, he patted Li Qian Fan's shoulder and turned to get into his car, "Go home. Oh, as for how to deal with Lin Yi Feng, discuss it with you and your Aunt Nan Yin. Alas, I shouldn't have cared about my reputation and kept that traitorous dog."
Old Shen's car sped away.
Li Qian Fan, however, stood in place, recalling the enigmatic smile he gave him before leaving.
He really couldn't understand what that old fox was smiling about.
And he was smiling so sinisterly!
After watching Old Shen's car drive away, Li Qian Fan turned and returned to the Shen Family Old Residence.
He found that in the main hall, besides Su Nan Yin and her two daughters, there were seventeen or eighteen more people.
These people were all household staff from the old residence.
There were men and women, old and young.
Everyone stood there, hands by their sides, bowing slightly in a very respectful manner.
These people—
Were all absolute confidantes cultivated by Su Nan Yin over the years!
Even Shen Yue couldn't command them without Su Nan Yin's orders!!
"Qian Fan, come here."
After Li Qian Fan entered the house, Su Nan Yin said to him in a faint voice.
Li Qian Fan didn't know why she had gathered people, so he could only walk up to her.
"Uncle Kui."
Su Nan Yin said to an old man, "All of you remember this. His surname is Li, his name is Li Qian Fan. He is the eldest son of the Lord of the Dragon Ruins, the only son of Li Wujiang, and also Su Nan Yin's son-in-law. Your son-in-law."
But Du Jun Lin and I are no longer engaged, so why is he still called son-in-law?
Li Qian Fan thought to himself, but his gaze instinctively shifted to Shen Chong Chong.
Shen Chong Chong also looked over, her little face beaming, showing no sign of shyness.
Uncle Kui and the others bowed in unison to Li Qian Fan, "Greetings, son-in-law."
"Hello everyone, hehe, hello everyone."
Li Qian Fan felt a little awkward and bowed in return with a forced smile.
After all, his marriage to Shen Chong Chong seemed to be a secret.
"More importantly—"
Su Nan Yin said again, "Li Qian Fan is the second master of this old residence, besides myself."
