Seventy years old is the age to take risks!

Not long after, another set of footsteps could be heard outside the teahouse.

Zhou Lian walked in quickly, a smile on her face:

"Little brother!"

"sister!"

Zhou Yun stood up, stepped forward to help Zhou Lian, looked her up and down, and frowned, saying:

"Sister, you've lost weight. Did you suffer any mistreatment at the Mei family's house?"

"No...no..."

Zhou Lian's eyes reddened, and her voice choked with emotion.

"Still saying you don't?"

Zhou Yun's face darkened. "Your eyes are all red! Did that cripple bully you? Or that Mei Lan?"

"Little brother, stop talking..."

Zhou Lian wiped her eyes and pulled Zhou Yun to sit down.

The two chatted and joked for a long time, treating the teahouse as their own home, completely ignoring Mei Lan next to them and the disgruntled waiters around them.

Anyone who didn't know better would really think that Zhou Lian had suffered a great injustice here, and that her brother-in-law had come back to back her up.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Yun took Zhou Lian's hand and introduced them, saying with a smile, "Elder sister, these are my senior brothers and sisters from the Qingxuan Sect."

"This is Senior Brother Zhao, from the same sect as me, and a master of the Meridian Opening Realm!"

"I've met you, young lady."

A young man with a refined smile nodded slightly, but his gaze toward Zhou Lian was somewhat unfocused, as if he were looking at something he dared not look at.

Pah, you old pervert!

What kind of prestigious sects are they? In my opinion, they're just local thugs!

Zhou Lian inwardly scorned him, but on the surface he still smiled and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Zhao. I'm so grateful for your care over the years."

"This is Senior Brother Zhang, also a master of the Meridian Opening Realm."

Zhou Yun gestured to introduce another burly young man, who grinned.

"This is Junior Sister Guan Ling."

When Guan Ling was introduced, Zhou Yun's smile became even brighter.

Guan Ling gave a slight bow as a greeting.

Zhou Lian's eyes lit up. This girl named Guan Ling was extremely beautiful, standing tall and graceful in her blue dress, clearly the daughter of a wealthy family. If her Zhou family could marry such a daughter-in-law...

However, judging from Guan Ling's attitude towards Zhou Yun, it seems that she was only interested in him but not in him.

This younger brother is still too honest.

I absolutely have to help you!

She remembered that there was still some of the aphrodisiac powder that Ma Shan had secretly prepared for Mei Lan last time.

Before long, Mei Lan prepared wine and dishes for the siblings who had been separated for a long time. The group ate and chatted, which was a way of welcoming Zhou Yun back.

As he spoke, Zhou Yun deliberately raised his voice, "Sister, if you've suffered any injustice, just tell me. Now I'm a formal disciple of the Qingxuan Sect, and no one can bully the Zhou family anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lian burst into tears:

"Little brother, you have no idea what kind of life your sister has been living all these years..."

The siblings poured out their hearts to each other again, which made Meilan, who was standing next to them, frown more and more.

What exactly are these two siblings trying to do?

At the height of his emotions, Zhou Yun slammed his fist on the table and stood up, roaring, "This is outrageous!"

"Sister, who are you? How can you suffer such injustice?"

"That cripple Mei Jing doesn't deserve to be a widow for the rest of your life. Your brother will take you back to the Zhou family right now!"

"Young man, don't be angry."

Zhou Lian quickly pretended to grab Zhou Yun, saying plaintively, "Little brother, your brother-in-law and I are truly in love. He's practically a cripple now, how can I leave him?"

"Furthermore, the Mei family's current wealth was built up by your brother-in-law and me through hard work."

"Why...."

???

Do people say that?

Hearing the woman's words, all the waiters in the teahouse were shocked, and even the usually composed Jiang Yuan glanced at Zhou Lian.

It's true that shamelessness knows no bounds.

What does the Mei family's business have to do with Zhou Lian?

Not only those who knew the inside story, but even the Qingxuan Sect disciples who were unaware of it, were looking at Zhou Lian and her brother with strange expressions.

These two bastards actually managed to make coveting someone else's property sound so respectable.

Zhou Yun, however, was filled with righteous indignation and sneered, "Hmph, eldest sister, since you own half of the Mei family's fortune, then we'll take it all back!"

After saying that, he glanced at Mei Lan, who was biting her lip.

Mei Lan didn't say a word from beginning to end. Although Zhou Lian and her brother were shameless, she was just a weak woman. Now that she had no father or brother to support her, what could she do to them?

Zhou Yun is a martial artist and a disciple of a sect, so his status is different from before.

If Lian really decides to shamelessly divide the family property and leave this week, she probably won't be able to do anything about it.

"hehe..."

Just then, an old man's laughter rang out in the room.

Jiang Yuan stroked his beard and laughed, "Shopkeeper, since Zhou Shi is unwilling to continue serving your brother, have Young Master Mei write a letter of divorce to this woman another day."

"As for the family property, the government will decide that at that time, and it is not up to outsiders to interfere."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent, and all eyes turned to Jiang Yuan.

My goodness, this old man is so brave!

Could it be that he has developed a scholarly spirit from telling stories so much on a regular basis?

"Who came from, you old codger? Who gives you the right to interrupt?"

Zhou Yun's face darkened, and he immediately stood up, his gaze towards Jiang Yuan filled with hostility, as if he were about to make a move at any moment.

Despite the danger, Jiang Yuan remained calm and composed, his true energy subtly surging within his fan.

This is Jiangning City, and the City Lord's Mansion is the real local power.

He was a registered retainer of the city lord's mansion.

As long as the other party dares to make the first move, he is confident that he will make these arrogant young people regret it!

"Wait a moment."

At that moment, a crisp sound rang out.

The girl, Guan Ling, who had been sitting silently, spoke up, immediately stopping the situation.

"Junior Sister?" Zhou Yun looked at Guan Ling with a puzzled expression.

Guan Ling said calmly, "Senior Brother Zhou, the elder instructed us before he left to prioritize the mission and not to cause trouble because of personal matters."

"this..."

Zhou Yun was speechless. The sect elder had indeed said that, but was disciplining an old man really creating unnecessary trouble?

At this moment, the oldest senior brother, Zhao, also stepped in with a smile to smooth things over.

"Alright, junior brother, just listen to your junior sister. We have an important mission to carry out this time, so it's really not advisable to cause any trouble."

"Your personal matters can be dealt with after the mission is completed."

Zhou Yun nodded somewhat reluctantly, gritting his teeth, "If that's the case, then we'll listen to our senior brothers and sisters. Consider that old guy lucky!"

Good luck?

Guan Ling's eyes flickered slightly as she turned her head to glance at Jiang Yuan, who stood calmly not far away.

It's still uncertain who will be lucky.

Others might not be able to tell, but she knew that the old storyteller was no ordinary person, but an old man with profound inner strength!

How could a small teahouse have a martial artist of such a young age?

Her master once said that there are two types of people one must be most wary of when traveling the martial arts world.

An old man and a woman.

Often, the seemingly vulnerable groups are actually the most deeply hidden and terrifying.

This old gentleman is no ordinary person.
