Grudge Breaker

Chapter 309 Unexpected
"Miss Banxia, ​​was it Lord Cangyue who came just now?"

"Your Excellency, I have not seen True Lord Cang Yue, but I heard that he is indeed among the nobles who came today."

Facing Song Weichen in a white robe, Banxia was obviously much more humble and obedient. She had come here on the orders of the eldest princess to lead the way for the relatives of Sichen Mansion. At this moment, she was bowing and leading everyone to the main hall of the Lord's Mansion.

Banxia's words made Song Weichen's heart beat anxiously. How long had it been? How long had it been since he last saw that big bird?
It has been more than half a year since we parted on a snowy night at Si Chen Mansion. Even the last time I dreamed of him was half a month ago. If I hadn't occasionally seen Shu Tinglong, who was very similar to him, I would not have been able to remember what he looked like clearly.

But since he is the guest at the banquet today, it means Gu Cangyue has returned. Why does he have time to come to the banquet instead of going to find her?
I still remember the day they parted ways. He said sincerely and confidently that he would go to the ghost market to meet her after finishing his business in the upper world. But now, he has returned...

Song Weichen felt sour in her heart. In order to hide her emotions, she pretended to be relaxed.
"True Lord or fungus? When did Lord Cangyue turn into a mushroom? Hahaha~"

"Oh, Your Excellency, be careful with your words!"

Banxia looked around cautiously, fearing that Song Weichen's teasing would bring her trouble. Not to mention the evil king who was in charge of Wangchuan, even if any of Cangyue Mansion's close followers heard it, she would be in trouble.

"Lord Cang Yue previously cultivated in the upper realm and achieved the state of Yuan Shen Transformation. He is now ranked as a True Lord. In addition to Wangchuan in the sleep realm, the upper realm also handed over the Dream Weaving Department to him. Your Excellency, please do not joke with me. It is fine for you, the White Robe Honorable, but I will be severely punished!"

Banxia’s words stunned Song Weichen. Why did a servant know this information but she was completely unaware of it? Could it be that someone else knew something but deliberately hid it from her?
She glanced at Mo Tingfeng who was walking beside her, and the latter shook his head at her solemnly - he didn't know either.

"Miss Banxia, ​​where did you hear this information? Is it true?"

"Your Excellency, haven't you heard of such a big thing? It has been spread all over the palace in the past two days. The eldest princess repeatedly reminded me today that if I am lucky enough to see the true face of Master Cangyue, I must call him Master Zhenjun respectfully."

"That's it..."

Song Weichen added somewhat awkwardly, "This venerable master has been in seclusion these days, and is not sensitive to information from the outside world."
.
After this, Song Weichen didn't want to talk anymore. He just walked forward sullenly as Banxia led him.

Mo Tingfeng felt bad too. Even though he had clearly chosen her and they had established a relationship, she still couldn't let go of Gu Cangyue.

However, a flying chariot from Cangyue Mansion can easily disturb his mind.

"slight……"

Mo Tingfeng wanted to say something but hesitated, not knowing how to start the sentence.

"Don't get me wrong, I just haven't seen Cangyue for a long time and I want to make sure he's okay. I don't mean anything else."

Song Weichen explained in a low voice, raised his head and looked around, pretending to appreciate the scenery of the Lord's Mansion.

After entering the mansion, she had been concentrating on confirming the situation of the big bird with Banxia, ​​and did not pay attention to other things, so it was not until this moment that she realized that the Lord's Mansion was not as magnificent as she had imagined - at first glance, it was not even as grand as the Sikong Mansion, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that every blade of grass, every tree, every stone, and every tool is extremely exquisite, and most of them are antiques that are not conspicuous but have a great origin.

"As expected of a territory lord's mansion, the old money style and wabi-sabi style are mixed very well."

Song Weichen exclaimed in praise, and seeing Banxia looking at him in confusion, he hurriedly explained,
"I am praising the Lord of the Territory for his taste."

"Oh, so that's what you mean. Your Excellency has a very good eye! Most people can't recognize it."

Hearing this, Song Weichen smiled faintly, his expression somewhat unnatural.

The reason why I was able to recognize it was due to the days when I lived in Cangyue Mansion. The back garden of Gu Cangyue was also lonely and elegant. If I had to praise it, it was also because of Big Bird's good vision.

It's Cang Yue again...

Song Weichen shook his head, trying not to think about him, but out of the corner of his eye he happened to catch a glimpse of a figure like a banished immortal hidden in the pavilion a few steps away. He had his hair tied up with a jade crown, and was wearing a cloud-white brocade robe embroidered with gold. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and stood tall and majestic, with the aura of an immortal king - who else could it be but Gu Cangyue?
“Cang Yue!”

By the time she realized it, she had already rushed to the man and grabbed his sleeve. The man turned around, his eyebrows and eyes were like a clear moon, his teeth were as white as jade, and a warm smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Meet the White Robe Master."

……

"Boss Shu?"

"I'm sorry, I mistook you for..."

Song Weichen was a little at a loss and stepped back.

"You tied your hair up today, and I didn't notice the difference in hair color between you and Cangyue... I'm really sorry, I hope I didn't scare you."

She lowered her eyes, trying her best to hide her disappointment, so she didn't notice that a very complicated look flashed across Shu Xinglong's eyes, which seemed to be both disappointed and angry, but disappeared in a flash.

"No matter who you think I am, I am happy as long as you talk to me."

He looked at her with a smile, and his words were full of tenderness.

"Boss Shu, how are you?"

At this moment, Mo Tingfeng also came over and pulled Song Weichen towards him without leaving any trace.

He was just chatting with Banxia and found an excuse to ask her to go to the main hall to report first. At the same time, he took the opportunity to let Ding Heran, Ye Wujiu and several accompanying resentment-breaking masters secretly check whether there was any trace of Ruan Mianmian in the territory lord's mansion. After the matter was dealt with, she turned back and found that Song Weichen was gone. When she looked again, Shu Tinglong looked at her with eyes that were almost tearing, and she was almost robbed.

Seeing Mo Tingfeng coming over, Shu Xinglong returned a bow.

"Greetings, Master Si Chen. I am able to be invited to the banquet by the Princess today, all thanks to you."

Mo Tingfeng smiled slightly.
"That's not true. Boss Shu has great connections and is favored by the Territory Lord and the Princess. I will have to rely on Boss Shu for help in the future."

After he finished speaking, his expression became serious and he whispered with Shu Xinglong. Occasionally, words like "Shituo" and "Death Curse" could be heard. It seemed that they were discussing the latest developments regarding the Shituo Ghost King's mask.

But Song Weichen didn't hear a word he said.

She was really disappointed - she didn't know if it was a coincidence or some unspeakable secret. In her impression, Shu Xinglong and Gu Cangyue had never appeared at the same time, and now that she saw Boss Shu, it meant that Gu Cangyue would not appear today.

Maybe the flying chariot was just a message from Cangyue Mansion's confidant. This made sense. Otherwise, given the Big Bird's nature, how could it have sensed her presence in the mansion and not come to find her right away?
.
"slight."

"slight?"

……

"Song Weichen."

"Huh? What?"

"Don't be careless tonight. Don't be distracted."

Following Mo Tingfeng's whispers, Song Weichen realized that she had been led into the main hall by him like a puppet, while she had been immersed in the emotions related to Gu Cangyue and was unaware of it.

The main hall was brightly lit and had a touch of luxury. Many guests had gathered here. A quick glance revealed that Zhuang Yuheng, Qin Che, Ruan Mianmian's mother Jing Lan and others were all there.

However, Zhuang Yuheng looked very haggard and had been whispering with Ruan's mother. When he saw Song Weichen and Mo Tingfeng come in, he just nodded. It seemed that he was worried about Ruan Mianmian.

Song Weichen closed her eyes tightly, suppressed her chaotic thoughts, and focused on dealing with the present. Not only did she have to play two roles today, but she also had to find a chance to find out the whereabouts of Ruanmianmian. She really couldn't be distracted.

"Your subordinate Song Weichen greets the princess."

Seeing Qin Xueying walking towards them supported by Banxia, ​​Song Weichen was the first to bow.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to be so polite. Although tonight is a family dinner, it is mainly to reward the brothers of Sichen Mansion for their hard work. We must have a good drink and chat."

Although Qin Xueying was exchanging words with Song Weichen, her eyes never left Mo Tingfeng. She bowed to him - according to etiquette, the princess had to perform this bow in formal occasions to the person who was either a clan elder, an immortal from the upper realm, or her husband. She didn't know who she mistook Mo Tingfeng for at the moment.

"Lord Si Chen, I have disturbed your house before and almost caused a disaster. I feel so guilty. Please accept Xueying's greetings!"

"My princess, you are too kind. Your visit has brought glory to our humble residence. How can you say that you are disturbing us?"

Mo Tingfeng hurried over to help, but was unexpectedly bumped into by Qin Che, who stared at the two of them with a half-smile.

"It looks like good things are coming, Princess. Your cousin congratulates you in advance!" "Che'er, if you keep talking nonsense, be careful. I'll order Banxia to tear your mouth off!"

Qin Xueying's face turned red and she looked at Qin Che in reproach. The latter laughed and walked away arm in arm with a passerby.

"Master Si Chen, please don't take this to heart."

After a pause, Qin Xueying moved closer and whispered to Mo Tingfeng,
"At the night party at the Changting in Sichen Mansion, I will fulfill my promise today."

After listening to this, Song Weichen raised her eyebrows slightly - she had watched that night with the help of Mo Tingfeng's concentration technique, so she naturally knew what Qin Xueying was talking about.
-
"Lord Si Chen, how about a deal?"

"We both have no feelings for each other, this is a fact. But my lord, you are embarrassed to speak up because of the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, and I can't bear to reject my father's good intentions and make him upset. Why don't we work together to put on a show?"

"Please forgive me for being a little ruthless, my lord. I will find an opportunity to decline your offer in public, and ask my father to arrange a marriage for you and Miss Sang Pu, how about that?"

"After all, if it gets out that the great Lord Si Chen rejected the legitimate daughter of the territory lord for a common zither player, not only will Xueying feel ashamed, but even my father will be embarrassed. I hope Lord Si Chen will sympathize with me."

"You give me stairs, and I give you a beautiful woman."
-
Song Weichen thought to himself that it seemed that "Sang Pu" was also an invited guest tonight, and it was the eldest princess who did it deliberately.

In other words, tonight she will be betrothed to Mo Tingfeng under the identity of Sang Pu by the territory lord.

I wonder what Gu Cangyue will think after hearing this news...

"No! Song Weichen! You can't think about the big bird anymore. Don't be distracted!"

Song Weichen pinched himself hard when he realized that he was daydreaming again. At this moment, the territory master Qin Huan arrived. He was led by two personal maids and walked out from the screen in front of the main hall and sat directly at the main seat.

Upon seeing this, everyone hurriedly took their seats.

Mo Tingfeng sat on the right side of the realm masters, Song Weichen sat right next to him, Qin Xueying sat opposite her, and next to her was Zhuang Yuheng... After everyone had taken their seats, Song Weichen discovered that several seats were empty. Jing Lan, Ding Heran and Ye Wujiu were not seen at the table. They must have left for Ruan Mianmian.

But the territory master didn't seem to care. He picked up the wine bottle and raised it towards everyone.
"We are all family, there is no need to be polite. I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight!"

"Thank you, Lord Territory Master!"

Song Weichen couldn't drink, so she picked up the wine bottle and pretended to take a sip, but was surprised to find that there was no wine in it, but ordinary water. She was surprised when she saw Qin Xueying sitting opposite her winking at her, and she immediately understood.

Fortunately, the eldest princess was very meticulous and had "done something" for her in advance, which made him like her even more.

She was secretly happy when she suddenly heard the landowner calling her.
"Song Weichen."

"My lord, my lord is here!"

She was like a frightened rabbit. She threw away the wine bottle, jumped up high, and made an exaggerated salute to the lord of the territory.

The territory master was amused by her funny appearance, and his words became softer.
"I wrongly blamed you last time. Later I found out that you were poisoned by the poisonous water when you were investigating a case, so you spoke in a different way from me. You were punished for this, can you blame me?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Song Weichen shook his head like a rattle.

"The Lord's words are golden. What he says is only right and even more right. How could he possibly accuse a subordinate wrongly?"

"I speak in an absurd way. Even if I have no evil intentions, I often fail to express my ideas clearly. Thanks to the timely guidance of the governor, I was not allowed to continue on the evil path of nonsense."

Song Weichen's flattering and meaningless farts made the territory master laugh out loud.

"The white robe can speak, and my lonely heart is comforted. Give me a glass of wine."

Upon hearing this, the personal maid serving the Lord of the Territory immediately understood and took out a new wine jar, picked up the wine jug from the Lord of the Territory, filled it up, and placed it in front of Song Weichen's table.

She couldn't refuse to drink this wine. Not to mention it was a reward wine, she would have to drink it even if it was poison.

In order to prevent Mo Tingfeng from speaking up for her and blocking the wine, she suddenly picked up the glass and drank it all, then thanked the lord of the territory - she looked beaming, but in fact her eyes were reddened by the alcohol and she was just trying hard to hold it back - all this fell into Mo Tingfeng's eyes, and he stood up to save the situation.

"The white robe has little alcohol tolerance. If he drinks more, he will probably talk nonsense again. If it is not for the wise and lenient Lord of the Territory, he will be punished."

"It's okay! Tonight is a family dinner. No matter who said something wrong, I won't take it seriously, and I won't get angry. Don't worry, Tingfeng."

The territory master laughed loudly and drank a glass of wine.

He had already seen that Song Weichen was not good at drinking, and her wine bottle was full of water! That's why he did it just now.

Qin Huan was a man of the drinking world. In his opinion, a person could be without the ability to drink, but he could be without the courage to drink. That was why he tried to test him. If Song Weichen had shown any hesitation when he gave him the wine, although he would not show any displeasure on the spot, he would mentally classify the man in white robe as another type of subordinate - he could be used, but he could not get close to him.

Fortunately, Song Weichen's performance made him quite satisfied.

……

But she didn't know any of this. She just thought that the Lord of the Territory was democratic and tolerant, and a flesh-and-blood CEO of the Mei Realm.

Under the influence of alcohol, Song Weichen gradually revealed his true nature. He sat cross-legged on the table, looking like he wanted to have a good chat with the territory master.

"With your words, I feel relieved."

"What we are saying is that everyone in the martial arts world knows that Song Weichen is the ancient Greek god of nonsense!"

Qin Xueying couldn't help laughing.

"Father, please don't let the Venerable drink anymore. If you're not careful, you might end up drinking from the gods."

Qin Huan was also very happy. He wanted to tease Song Weichen.

"Tell me what you want to say. If you can say something good that can make me laugh, I'll give you a reward!"

Song Weichen became excited when he heard this.

"What reward? Paid annual leave? Chairman Qin, can you talk to my boss about arranging five-star employees and year-end bonuses?"

Qin Huan raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"Is this your nonsense?"

"Oh, then I'll start..."

Song Weichen quickly recalled the abstract speech she had read before. It seemed that "Huanglongjiang School is equipped with Bluetooth" was a bit outdated? She clapped her hands and got it!

"I am a dishwashing liquid that can explode at any time, a rotating gear without morals, and I am best at turning turtles into watermelon juice. When I was five years old, my body temperature had reached 700 degrees Celsius, and I successfully helped a groundhog give birth to seven jet ultrasounds, but now I still can't learn addition and subtraction within ten. If this continues, I will have to throw my brain tissue into the sky to ski, and then I will grow into a classic system virus and be shot for fifty-six consecutive years."

……

The Lord of the Territory clearly wanted to laugh, with the corners of his mouth raised, but the smile froze on his face. He looked fixedly behind Song Weichen - in the direction of the entrance to the main hall.

"What a mess, what nonsense!"

The man's tone was harsh, but it made Song Weichen's heart skip a beat. She turned her head and looked -

The man was tall and slender, with eyes like golden stars, wearing a bird-beak mask, and silver hair like moonlight shining on water. He came on the wind and arrived in an instant.

"Cang...Cang Yue?"

She murmured something, but the visitor seemed not to know her. He squinted at her with disgust and sat down at the left side of the territory lord Qin Huan.

"Mo Tingfeng, is this how your Sichen Mansion behaves?"

"Acting stupid and foolish, so stupid!"
