The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 27 Red Coral Jade
Fang Yunhua no longer pays attention to these rumors.

He believed that Hua Zhenzhen and others could completely control the rhythm of the situation.

After a night of fighting, it was time for Fang Yunhua to visit Master Jin.

After four days of irrigation, Jin Lingzhi, exuding a charming and feminine aura, was clearly preparing for meeting Fang Yunhua's parents. She carefully selected a set of the most fashionable white-robed nobleman's attire in the capital for him.

She changed into her favorite red dress, and her radiant beauty resembled a blooming red rose.

As the saying goes, loving someone is like growing a flower.

Jin Erye, who originally had some reservations about this amorous young master, could only relax his deliberately stern face a little after seeing his little niece's completely different transformation, especially her genuine smile of being immersed in happiness.

Although the gaze directed at Fang Yunhua still revealed a hint of hostility towards the blond-haired boy, it was much better than the awkward atmosphere when they first entered the Jin residence.

Fang Yunhua also took this opportunity to express his respect for his elders.

"Madam Jin, I've heard that you have a habit of collecting all sorts of rare objects. This red coral jade was acquired by my nephew by chance. As the saying goes, a beautiful tree takes a thousand years to grow, and coral jade takes hundreds of millions of years to form. Placing this item in your home can ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune."

If cut and crafted into personal accessories, it is even more believed to have beautifying, health-promoting, blood-circulating, and vision-improving effects.

Jin Erye's wife did not accept the gift immediately. As the wife of a high-ranking official in the capital, she received a constant stream of gifts every day. Knowing what to accept and what not to accept was a profound subject that required careful study.

So at this moment, she first needs to confirm her husband's thoughts.

Even though there was still some emotion in Jin Erye's gaze as he looked at Fang Yunhua, he still gave him a meaningful look.

Madam Jin immediately understood. After having her servant open the brocade box, she saw the beautiful, lustrous, crystal clear, and warm red coral jade, and a hint of fondness flashed in her eyes.

As an expert in this field, she naturally knew how rare this treasure was, and most importantly, red coral jade was a symbol of good fortune and wealth, which perfectly suited her taste.

After instructing the servants to carefully put away the red coral jade, she stepped forward to ease the atmosphere, making the relationship between Master Jin and Fang Yunhua seem less strained.

As for Jin Lingzhi, she displayed the etiquette and reserve of a young lady from a prominent family throughout the entire process.

Logically, she should have been the first to step forward and smooth things over, but she knew her situation all too well. If she were to completely side with Fang Yunhua, she would be more likely to anger her second uncle and ruin her lover's plans.

Her family mostly opposed her relationship with Fang Yunhua. Although people like Master Jin praised Fang Yunhua's abilities, his reputation as a womanizer was always a stain on his family's eyes.

Besides, who can truly know the real thoughts of such a seasoned player in love?

Given Wanfu Wanshouyuan's background and strength, there's no need to worry that Fang Yunhua will discard Jin Lingzhi after exploiting her. However, if one party is sincere while the other is insincere, a major scandal is bound to erupt, and the one who invests the most emotion will always be the one who gets hurt.

Jin Lingzhi argued vehemently about this, and the argument nearly erupted into chaos. In the end, it was Madam Jin who made the final decision, saying that it was her own granddaughter who had gone to play around with men.

This wiser matriarch knew very well that if they continued arguing like this, her little granddaughter might do something rebellious in the end. So she might as well go along with it for now. After all, Jin Lingzhi had just admitted that she had lost her virginity to him, so she might as well play along for now.

Once they've had their fill of it, with Wanfu Wanshouyuan's resources, finding a suitable buyer for Jin Lingzhi wouldn't be difficult.

Youth is a rare privilege in life.

With Madam Kim setting the tone for this matter, others could only turn a blind eye. However, this did not mean that if the other party took the initiative to ask for help, they would respond with a smile.

Next, after a somewhat formal family dinner...

Master Jin also took Fang Yunhua to his study.

After entering the study, he was not as cold towards Fang Yunhua as he was outside.

However, the other party still emphasized what needed to be emphasized first.

“My little niece is bewitched by you, but she seems to be doing alright right now. Whether you're sincere or not, keep it up until she dumps you.” “What if she doesn't dump me?”

Fang Yunhua wasn't trying to be clever at this moment. When it comes to serious matters, he would naturally lower his head to ask for help, but it's a different story when it comes to private matters, even though Jin Lingzhi had never mentioned what her many relatives at Wanfu Wanshou Garden thought of her.

But considering his own reputation, he knew that the other party must have made tremendous efforts in secret to be able to meet with him at any time.

His feelings for Jin Lingzhi were undoubtedly genuine.

So naturally, there are some things that can't be shouldered alone, and it's necessary to show one's attitude when appropriate.

"Oh?" Master Jin became interested in this answer. "I have investigated you, or rather, my family has conducted a comprehensive analysis of your situation from all angles. The purpose of your visit was roughly explained in the letter that my little niece sent earlier."

You should be begging me now; you're not the kind of impulsive kid who doesn't know when to stop.

So, knowing that you could have simply agreed to my warning and let it go, why did you ask me a question in return?

"I just think that many people may have some misunderstandings about me."

"Misunderstanding?" Master Jin sneered. "If it weren't for Lingzhi, do you think you, a江湖人 (jianghu person) like yourself, would even be able to see me? It's only because of Lingzhi that you're barely qualified to enter this room!"

Fang Yunhua spread his hands and said frankly.

"I really have to thank Lingzhi for her kindness, but I have explained all the pros and cons and reasons to her in advance, and I have never shied away from the fact that I am using her connections. I will never harm her, nor will I harm her family."

I could even say that I'm helping you.

Master Jin narrowed his eyes slightly. He suddenly felt that there were many errors in the intelligence analysis of the spirited young sect leader's personality.

Tell me your real reason for contacting me.

Fang Yunhua coughed lightly, and his expression became much more serious after getting down to business.

"The martial arts world and the imperial court seem to be two separate worlds, but in reality, all land under heaven belongs to the emperor. Therefore, the two are not as separate as they appear. The imperial court still maintains control over the martial arts world in a subtle way."

However, the methods and approaches used are completely different from those used to manage ordinary people.

This has created a delicate and stable situation.

However, this situation has changed with the emergence of countless ambitious individuals and highly skilled masters in the martial arts world. As the saying goes, a knight-errant uses martial arts to break the law, and a sharp blade that cannot be restrained by a scabbard is uncontrollable.

Therefore, no system can remain unchanged forever, and the court also needs reform, which is why you came into being.

The renowned Master Jin of Wanfu Wanshou Garden, after abandoning his military career for a civil one, was able to rise to the highest official rank, while your brother, Master Jin the Seventh, became the most meritorious and valiant general of the dynasty.

I don't deny your and Master Jin's abilities, but in this world, besides ability, it is even more precious to have a platform and opportunity to showcase your abilities.

This already reveals some of the current emperor's thoughts.

This has made Wanfu Wanshou Garden increasingly special.

Especially after Master Jin became the leader of the martial arts world in Jiangnan.

Wanfu Wanshou Garden has likely become a new benchmark deliberately set up by the imperial court.

This is also an inevitable trend as the thick barrier between the martial arts world and the imperial court begins to gradually blur.
