Chapter 259: Father and Daughter Reunion
Shang Yan Fei's mind moved and immediately disappeared from within the darkness.
When he reappeared, he was already in the outer area of the Shang clan city.
All kinds of sounds entered his ears. There are various stalls located on both sides of the road. The surrounding people only saw a bloody flash of fire, then a handsome man in a red-haired black robe appeared in their midst.
“Whoa, scare my soul!”
“Who is this guy? He actually dared to use his Gu in the Shang clan city?”
Many people gave confused gazes, few recognized Shang Yan Fei but they were unsure.
Shang Yan Fei ignored this gaze and followed the bloodline's reaction; her sharp senses landed on Shang Xin Ci.
Two girls stopped in front of a shop.
“Nona, this hairpin is very beautiful!” Xiao Die took the jade hairpin from the stall and matched it with Shang Xin Ci's beautiful hair.
Shang Xin Ci forced a smile, her mood has dropped since parting with Fang Yuan.
Xiao Die was instead excited, mesmerized by the flourishing scenery in the city.
Suddenly, Shang Xin Ci felt something in her heart and turned around. His gaze immediately fell on Shang Yan Fei.
Shang Yan Fei in black robes and red hair was especially conspicuous among the crowd, like a stork in a flock of chickens.
However, what attracted Shang Xin Ci was not her appearance but rather the mysterious family relationships and calls from her lineage.
Without saying a word, when Shang Xin Ci saw Shang Yan Fei, she knew the identity of this middle-aged man.
He is his father!
Father..to Shang Xin Ci, this word was mysterious and distant, containing sadness and sorrow.
Since she was young, she had asked her mother many times about her father, but her mother had always been silent. And now, he finally met his father.
“So this is the reason mom told me to go to the Shang clan city before her death!” Consciousness realized it and tears uncontrollably flowed in his eyes.
As Shang Yan Fei looked at Shang Xin Ci, he connected her with her mother and realized her identity.
They look alike!
The gentle appearance of this child was no different from her!
Shang Yan Fei suddenly felt a pain in his heart, he could vaguely see it again.
That distant afternoon when the spring rain was drizzling down, as willow trees swayed beside the lotus pond; under the shabby hut, the young master of the Shang clan, was, Shang Yan Fei met the young lady from the Zhang Clan who was running from the rain.
A scholar and beauty meeting. It was love at first sight, they poured out their hearts to each other and promised to get married. . .
However, one could only be helpless in the affairs of the world. Strength and beauty are like the claws of a fish and a bear, who can have both?
The young Shang Yan Fei was someone with a flame in his heart, this flame was a natural human ambition towards power and influence.
Ambition or love, duty or freedom, oppresses his enemies or his promise of beauty; Shang Yan Fei chooses the former in the end and leaves the latter.
He then defeated his brother and sister, ascended to the position of leader of the Shang clan and sat on the glorious throne. He became a rank five Gu Master, married countless beautiful women and now had many sons and daughters. And since the Zhang Clan and Shang Clan had been enemies for generations, he could no longer look for them.
One cannot control everything in the world.
The identity of the clan leader became a symbol of his success, but also the shackles that bound him.
Any movement of the king could cause upheaval and be closely watched by everyone. As the clan leader of the Shang clan, how could he let his affair affect the clan?
Over the years, he has gone to great lengths to convince himself and hide his faults and worries deep within by using reason of truth and duty. He thought he had forgotten everything, but now when he saw Shang Xin Ci, the warm memories hidden deep within him instantly enveloped his soul like the sound of spring rain.
Right now, waves were surging in his heart!
The kinship blood that was thicker than water turned into a river; now, his guilt overflowed into this river and became the sea, instantly drowning him.
He took a light step and disappeared, reappearing in front of Shang Xin Ci the next moment.
Xiao Die gasped, everyone around him looked astonished and surprised.
But the two people involved felt nothing.
“You.... what's your name?” Shang Yan Fei opened his mouth with great difficulty, his voice carried a magnetic quality and was filled with a strong warmth.
Shang Xin Ci did not reply.
Tears flowed from her beautiful eyes.
He took a step back and pursed his lips tightly, then resolutely looked at Shang Yan Fei, his gaze carrying a stubborn nature. . .
This is the man who hurt his mother.
It was this man who caused him to suffer discrimination and intimidation since young.
It was this man who fascinated his mother, making her think about him even at death.
It was this man, yet he .. he .
His mood surged and angered, countless feelings mixed into a raging whirlpool, threatening to swallow his mind.
She fainted .
“Nona!” Xiao Die who had been absorbed in Shang Yan Fei's aura, regained her senses and shouted.
“Who dares blatantly break the city rules and use Gu, do you want to end up in jail?” A group of city guards sensed the abnormal change and came, swearing.
“Ah, LORD clan leader! “Their expressions instantly changed when they saw Shang Yan Fei, and they all knelt down.
The whole road is fucked.
“You ... you .. the Shang clan ..” Xiao Die stuttered, and was speechless.
Shang Yan Fei grabbed onto Xiao Die's arm; a blood-colored flame exploded and the three disappeared.
. . .
“Lined in queue, log in one by one. Everyone had to pay ten ancient stones as tolls to enter the city. Once you enter the city, you are not allowed to abuse your Gu, offenders will be sent to jail for at least seven days! ” The guards at the city gate shouted loudly.
There are a lot of arrest warrants posted on the city walls. Some had yellowed due to age and were covered by other warrants, showing only one corner; and some were completely newly installed haphazardly on the wall.
Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing moved with a queue and slowly approached the city gate. Sure enough, they saw an arrest warrant for them from the Bai Clan.
“Bai Clan..” Fang Yuan snorted inwardly.
“Two masters, please stop.” The gatekeeper approached Fang and Bai.
Both of them were wearing ordinary clothes and looked like ordinary people. Bai Ning Bing lowered her straw hat deeper.
“This is twenty ancient stones.” Fang Yuan was not nervous, he just handed her a bag.
The guards made sure of the numbers, and immediately let them pass.
Although there were arrest warrants packed throughout the city walls beside him that he could easily see, he did not glance at them from start to finish.
This arrest warrant is nothing more than a superficial show.
The Shang Clan prioritized profits, as long as one handed over the ancient stone, they could enter the city. Every day, many demon Master Gu passed by under the watchful eye of these guards; both sides had reached a tacit understanding.
Master Gu Demon was going to sell their loot in the Shang clan city, and they also needed to replenish the lacking Gu worms; the Shang clan city was the best choice for them.
In fact it could be said, one of the great pillars for the development of the Shang clan city was the demonic Gu Masters.
Of course, Demon Master Gu could not enter the city too boldly and aggressively. After all, the Shang clan city represented the right path and they also needed to consider some consequences of their actions.
A wide road appeared in front of the two after they walked through the city gate.
There are people moving here and there on the road. Large tall trees were planted on both sides of the street and under its shade there were a wide variety of stalls; some sold food such as sesame bread, soft bean curd, meat and vegetable dishes; while others sell jewelry and all sorts of other items.
The two walked past the stall, then they saw the building; a tall bamboo building, a muddy building and a gray white tiled house.
Shops, hotels, inns, blacksmith workshops and so on appeared one after another.
“This brother, do you need a room? Our price is very cheap, only half a stone primeval for one night.” A middle-aged woman approached Fang and Bai with a smile on her face.
Fang Yuan glared at him and left without saying a word.
Her appearance was extremely frightening and left the middle-aged woman shocked; she did not dare to disturb him anymore, instead changing her target to the Bai Ning Bing that was behind her.
“This brother, away from home it is not easy.Our inn is pretty nice, there will even be beautiful girls at night. It's not cheap for you to visit the red light street. People like us who travel outside sell things using our lives to earn money, but spending our hard-earned money in those places won't even cause ripples. Our lodging girls are still the best, very cheap too! We have adult girls and even a fresh, cute and adorable one. What are your choices, brother? “
The middle-aged woman said in a soft voice, with a faint expression. He misunderstood Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing as humans from their clothes.
A dark wrinkle appeared on Bai Ning Bing's face.
“Go.” He snorted coldly, his tone bone-piercing.
The middle-aged woman's face changed rapidly, her entire body stiffening as she remained stunned on the spot.
“So she's a girl.”
“Hahaha, Big Brother Zhang you made a mistake this time.”.
The nearby workers who had the same profession and were looking for customers, laughed out loud and mocked the middle-aged woman.
Along the way, Bai Ning Bing had made great progress in disguising herself as a man, so even experienced brokers made mistakes.
Four Seasons Restaurant.
An hour later, Fang Yuan stopped in front of the five-story building.
The building was made of blackish-white tiles, with vermillion archways and large pillars. There was a wine aroma and a dish aroma that floated around the place. It was a famous restaurant in the Shang clan city.
“Gentlemen, please come in.” A clever servant saw Fang and Bai, and immediately came out to invite them over.
Both of them had been walking for a long time and the journey was difficult, they were also hungry, so they stepped into the restaurant.
“Gentlemen, please sit here.” The waiter showed the way.
Fang Yuan slightly frowned: “This hall is too noisy, we will go upstairs.”
The waiter immediately revealed an awkward expression: “I will not hide it from the master, we do have a private room upstairs, but they are only opened for Gu Masters.”
Fang Yuan snorted and revealed a portion of the snow-silver primitive essence.
Server quickly bent: “I failed to recognize Mount Tai, please go up!”
When they reached the stairs, the maid stopped, a young and sweet girl walked over and spoke softly: “Lord, may I ask which floor you want to go to? The Four Seasons Restaurant had five floors, the first floor hall was for humans; both floors provided for a rank one Gu Master; the third floor provided for a rank two Gu Masters, the second floor was for humans, there was a twenty percent discount for them; the fourth floor provided for a rank three Gu Masters and had a fifty percent discount; the fifth floor provided for a rank four Gu Masters and free service. “
Fang Yuan laughs: “Fourth floor.”
The girl's expression immediately became a little more respectful. He bent over greeting: “Please show your primordial essence.”
