1882 The Price (1)
Qu Lanyi had always disliked Xuan Yi. Even though Xuan Yi looked very humble and calm on the surface, he was certainly unhappy with Qu Lanyi, his number one love rival, in his mind. Even though Qu Lanyi wasn’t someone who would easily show his emotions, his emotions would more or less be reflected on his face. However, Xuan Yi was different. He had been smiling. No matter who he was facing or what he was talking about, he was always polite. You would never be able to guess what such a person was thinking from his expression.
Even though Buyuan Misheng could be with Xuan Yi, the two of them didn’t have much in common. Most of the time, Buyuan Misheng was simple-minded and delighted. His face showed his thoughts clearly. Compared to Xuan Yi, he was a rough guy. Outsiders couldn’t see any benefits at all when Xuan Yi chose to befriend him.
The spar among the younger generation lasted for an entire day. The young people of the families were all very happy after the spar. It was certainly good that they could learn something from each other. The Buyuan and Xuan families were here to visit. The younger generation of the Naxi family certainly had the idea of being the host. Besides, only the few upper echelons of the Naxi family knew that the Buyuan and Xuan families wanted the Meditation Pond. The younger generation didn’t know about this at all. Taking a step back, the younger generation of the two families weren’t wrong. The old guys were the ones who were greedy, not these young people.
The young people of the three families chatted and laughed harmoniously. They could be said to have established a friendship in a short period of time. Qu Lanyi didn’t say anything when he saw the harmonious scene. He just stood there with a cold face and observed Xuan Yi and Buyuan Misheng closely in secret.
“Young Master, your expression is too cold.” Li Yun walked over with a rare smile. Qu Lanyi raised his brows slightly. “You seem to be in a good mood?”
Li Yun was an outstanding member of the younger generation and could be said to be the best. His behavior was a bit similar to Qu Lanyi’s. Even though he didn’t like to communicate with others, he interacted much more with the younger generation than Qu Lanyi. He was a young man who rarely smiled.
“Indeed. I learned a lot from these peers of the Buyuan family and the Xuan family.” Li Yun sat aside and looked at Xuan Yi and Buyuan Misheng. “I really want to spar with the Young Masters of these two clans, but I think I’ll pass.”
Qu Lanyi snorted coldly. “With your strength, you might not lose to them.”
Li Yun chuckled. “Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Young Master. I’m still far from it. Right, Young Master, someone is going to suggest walking around the Naxi family later. Young Master, do you want to go with us?”
Qu Lanyi frowned. “Are Xuan Yi and Buyuan Misheng going?”
Li Yun nodded. “Of course they have to follow us. They’re curious about the territory of the Naxi family.”
Qu Lanyi pursed his lips and stood up. “If they’re going, I certainly can’t be absent. Let’s go.”
Li Yun was a bit surprised. Usually, Young Master wouldn’t have moved with them. The communication between the younger generation and Qu Lanyi could be said to be zero.
“What are you waiting for?” Qu Lanyi couldn’t help but say when he saw that Li Yun was sitting there in a daze. After a moment of shock, Li Yun quickly stood up and chased after him. Had Young Master changed?
The younger generation of the Buyuan and Xuan families was full of curiosity about the Naxi family, so they certainly wanted to take a look. They walked around and came to the main family. After all, there were many branches of the Naxi family. There was no need for these outsiders to go deep. They could just wander around on the surface.
The young people of the three clans walked in the front. The younger generation of the Naxi family introduced themselves from time to time, while the three Young Masters walked at the back. Qu Lanyi was expressionless, while Buyuan Misheng looked extremely frustrated. Xuan Yi, on the other hand, looked around with a faint smile, looking extremely curious.
“You’ve already been here. What are you looking at?” said Qu Lanyi coldly. Xuan Yi hadn’t done anything yet, so he couldn’t let down his guard. This man had a lot of means that were impossible to guard against.
“It’s not bad to look again and deepen my memory.” Xuan Yi smiled lightly. Buyuan Misheng roared in frustration, “What’s there to see? What a boring suggestion!”
“Misheng, it’s better for you to take a look,” said Xuan Yi as he glanced aside with his black eyes. “The Naxi family is different from the two clans. They certainly have their own unique characteristics.”
Buyuan Misheng snorted coldly and didn’t say anything else. The group of young people walking in the front chatted and laughed happily. The atmosphere was very different from that behind. A few fiery gazes glanced back from time to time and landed on Qu Lanyi. However, Qu Lanyi didn’t even look ahead.
“Hongni, you’re looking back secretly again!” A teasing voice sounded, which made a woman blush. She glared at her companion with embarrassment in her eyes and quickly looked away.
“Why are you so shy? You’re a top beauty in our clan and you’re also rarely strong. Are you afraid that you’re not worthy of the Young Master of the Naxi family?”
What her companion said made Hongni blush again. She couldn’t help but look forward to it in the depths of her heart. She had only heard about the Young Master of the Naxi family in the past. She only understood that he was different when she saw him in person. Who wouldn’t like such a man?
“You don’t have to be shy. If you like him, just pursue him boldly! He might like a beauty with such a personality! If you really can’t, use your beauty to seduce him. Men can’t resist beauty!” Her companion made fun of her and even pushed her away. Hongni said in a low voice in embarrassment, “I don’t have the mood. Stop fooling around!”
“What are you talking about?” The few girls of the Naxi family came close and asked curiously. Hongni blushed and didn’t know what to say, but her companion asked a bit impatiently, “The Young Master of the Naxi family is really good-looking and his cold look is really attractive.”
The few girls of the Naxi family all chuckled. “Young Master must have a lot of women chasing him!”
“Of course. There are many women who like our Young Master, but there are too few who can catch his attention.”
“Then what kind of woman does Young Master like?” Hongni blushed and asked in a low voice. The few girls of the Naxi family looked at her with a weird expression. “Needless to say, the woman Young Master likes is certainly someone like Yun Feng.”
