Chapter 17
Nanchuan City, Willow Lane.

Although Willow Lane is not as good as Qingping Street, where wealthy families live, it is much better than Shizi Lane, which is full of poor people.

Just having someone to clean the streets every day is not something ordinary people can think of.

"It should be here."

Ye Changan led his younger sister Ye Rouer and looked at the Li family's gate with two deer legs in hand.

The black door, the iron ring, and the animal-shaped drum-holding stone remain intact.

The Li family's father and son were just under-ranked police officers and government servants. Logically speaking, it was impossible for them to buy such a luxurious house with their monthly salary.

This shows that there is a lot of money behind these official posts. Although this arrangement seems to be overly polite, the magistrate will turn a blind eye if there are too many people.

Ye Changan reached out and grasped the iron ring to pull the door.

Boom, boom, boom.
After a while, the door was pushed open a crack, and an old woman poked her head out.

When I saw a pair of young people standing at the door, wearing simple and slightly rustic clothes, their faces showed impatience: "What are you doing?"

Ye Changan was not annoyed and said politely: "Auntie, we are here to visit Uncle Li. My name is Ye Changan."

When she heard that she was looking for her master, the old woman didn't dare to complain and slammed the door.

"Brother, why is she like this?"

The two of them were left outside the door again, with Ye Rouer's face showing dissatisfaction.

Ye Changan smiled and pinched his sister's cheek: "This is normal. No one will look down on us in the future."

The Li family lived a very prosperous life in Nanchuan City. Although the official positions of father and son were not high, they had a wide network and were able to enjoy both black and white jobs.

Soon, the door was pushed open again, but the person who opened the door was no longer the old woman, but Li Tan. The old woman followed behind with a look of fear.

"Hey, this is girl Rou'er, she's getting more and more beautiful." Li Ta first praised Ye Rou'er.

Then he patted Ye Changan's shoulder enthusiastically.

"Come here, bring any gifts."

"They are just some country gadgets. I remember Uncle Li likes to eat them."

"Chang'an, you are really thoughtful."

While chatting, Li Tan led the brother and sister into the courtyard.

Stepping into the gate, there is a cave in the courtyard. Although the courtyard is not big, there is a fish pond and a low pavilion, which is low-key and unique.

Although it is not comparable to the mansions of the four major families, it is still an eye-opener for the two brothers and sisters.

Brother and sister Ye Changan followed Li Ta into the main room where the host was entertaining guests. As soon as they entered, they saw that the room was already full of people.

The people in the upper position were Li Dashan and his wife, with a woman sitting on each side, whom Ye Changan did not recognize.

Ye Changan held the junior ceremony to Li Dashan: "My nephew has met Uncle Li."

Li Dashan showed a kind smile on his face: "Okay, okay, Brother Ye gave birth to a good son. It's a pity. That's all, I won't say anything anymore."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Li Ta took the initiative to introduce. He pointed to the young round-faced girl on his right and said: "Chang'an, this is my sister Li Xue."

Li Xue is lively by nature. She excitedly said to Ye Rou'er, "Are you sister Rou'er?"

Ye Rou'er didn't know what he meant and could only nod.

Unexpectedly, when Li Xue learned that it was Ye Rouer herself, she jumped and clapped her hands with joy, picked up Ye Rouer and ran outside the house.

Li Tan gave a wry smile: "Chang'an, I hope you'll forgive me. This girl of mine is just a little naughty."

Ye Changan: "It doesn't matter, Rou'er will definitely like it too."

For the past month, Ye Rouer has been locked in the house by him, and she must have been suppressed for a long time. Now that she has a playmate, it would be good to vent her anger.

Li Ta then pointed to the dignified and virtuous woman on the other side and said, "This is the humble wife, Zhu Qing."

Ye Changan cupped his hands and said, "I've met my sister-in-law."

Zhu Qingyingying stood up and returned the gift, showing her ladylike demeanor.Ye Changan was surprised. It seemed that the Li family had climbed to a high branch. Zhu Qing's demeanor was not ordinary at first glance.

Li Dashan asked the old woman to take the venison she brought to the kitchen to cook, and said with nostalgia: "I haven't tasted this flavor in a long time."

Afterwards, people in the room talked and laughed for a long time.

Li Dashan and his wife then went back to the house to rest first, while Ye Changan and Li Ta came to the pavilion to enjoy the cool air.

Ye Rouer and Li Xue were having fun by the fish pond, giggling from time to time.

Ye Changan smiled knowingly. Ever since her father passed away, Ye Rouer has seldom played like this.

"Chang'an, I'm going to ask you boldly, what is your relationship with Shopkeeper Liu?" Li Ta finally couldn't help it.

Since that day, he has become more and more curious about the relationship between Ye Changan and Chunselou.

The casinos, black markets, and brothels in Nanchuan City are all gold-selling caves, but these places are all controlled by the four major families and other major forces, and even the county magistrate can hardly interfere.

Ye Changan: "Brother Tartar, I really don't have any friendship with Shopkeeper Liu. I just went to Chunse Building to sell game a few times and met him twice."

"really?"

"real."

"It's his grandma's fault. Why am I not so lucky?"

"."

Li Tan knew Ye Changan's family background very well. If he had a background, it would be impossible. There is no better explanation other than high talent and good luck.

He naturally heard about Ye Changan becoming a martial artist without ever going to a martial arts gym, which made him even more depressed.

"Ahem, Brother Tar, isn't this Chunse Building just an ordinary brothel?" Ye Changyuan said with a look on his face.

Li Tan explained: "Chang'an, you don't know something. Although this Chunse Building is indeed a brothel, the backer behind it is the Blood Wolf Sect."

"Blood Wolf Sect?"

Ye Chang'an wondered. He had a dark eye on the power of Nanchuan City. He only knew about the four major families on the surface, but knew nothing about the gangs.

Li Tan: "Brothers who are not involved in the underworld may not know that the Blood Wolf Sect is the largest underworld gang in Nanchuan City. The black market, brothels and even some martial arts schools are their property."

Hearing this, Ye Changan raised his eyebrows.

Unexpectedly, the Blood Wolf Sect is so powerful. The huge profits in the black market are obvious to all. It must not be easy to get this piece of fat from the mouths of the four major families.

"Of course. I heard that Shopkeeper Liu has some relationship with the deputy gang leader of the Blood Wolf Sect. Only in this way can Chunselou continue to do business in the city."

"I see."

Ye Changan narrowed his eyes slightly, Chunselou had a rich background as he expected.

"Brother Ye, if you connect with the Blood Wolf Sect through Shopkeeper Liu, your future will be bright."

"Brother Tartar, I'm really not familiar with Shopkeeper Liu."

"Brother, I understand."

"."

Ye Changan almost cursed, "I understand your sister!"

The two chatted for a while, and then heard the old woman's voice calling for dinner.

Li Dashan appeared at the dinner table again, smelling the fragrant venison, and sighed: "Chang'an, I'm sorry for you. I should visit you brothers and sisters more often."

"Uncle Li, it's all over."

Many things in the world are like this. No matter how sincere friendship or love once was, it will eventually be slowly diluted by time until it disappears.

Ye Changan had no resentment in his heart.
