"General Peng, what are you talking about? Stopping the carriage halfway is really unavoidable. Let’s not beat around the bush, I have so urgent matters and wish to cooperate with you and Miss An. Of course, if General Gu is also interested in joining in, it would be like adding wings to a tiger."
An Yiqing’s eyebrows slightly arched. This Arhan, though a person of Country Fei, speaks Xuanjin so fluently, even using idioms like "adding wings to a tiger." It seems he has indeed put much effort into studying Xuanjin.
"What is so urgent?" Peng Shaohe exchanged a subtle glance with An Yiqing, then asked.
Arhan squinted his eyes and glanced around, deliberately lowering his voice, "Let’s go inside to talk."
An Yiqing and Peng Shaohe exchanged a glance, said nothing, and followed Arhan into the main tent.
Their chairs were barely warm when a man in military uniform suddenly strode in. Just as he was about to speak, he saw An Yiqing and the others and quickly closed his mouth. He then approached Arhan and whispered a few words into his ear.
Though he spoke softly, everyone present was a Martial Cultivator with deep Inner Breath, so they heard clearly.
The Patriarch of the Anpei Clan of Country Bai, Anpei Lan, suddenly ca to visit and was already outside the camp.
An Yiqing sat in the chair, her eyebrows slightly raised, pondering quietly. Anpei Lan arrived quite coincidentally, running into them like this. Was this chance or coincidence?
Regarding this man she had only t twice, An Yiqing remained highly vigilant. Although Anpei Lan appeared refined and courteous, achieving the position of Anpei Clan’s head at such a young age suggested his depth was unfathomable.
Moreover, for so reason, An Yiqing always felt that this Anpei Lan was sowhat tricky to deal with.
In conclusion, An Yiqing firmly believed in one thing, staying away from Anpei Lan ensured peace in the world.
"Hmm? What’s he here for?" Arhan was also surprised by Anpei Lan’s sudden arrival. He had never had much interaction with this young Anpei Clan head, and their etings could be counted on one hand. Why would he suddenly co to see him?
With a head full of questions, Arhan stood up, apologetically glanced at An Yiqing and the others, "Sorry, the Patriarch of Anpei has co unexpectedly, I’ll leave for a mont."
Saying so, he strode out with deliberate steps, nodding at An Yiqing and the others.
"Anpei Lan arriving at this mont... isn’t it a bit too coincidental?" After Arhan left, Peng Shaohe relaxed his muscles in his chair and muttered.
"Hmm, hard to say. We have never had much interaction with him. If this is intentional, then what is the purpose?" An Yiqing lowered her eyes in thought.
Gu Yelin remained silent, his cold, dark eyes slightly narrowed, a glimr of coldness flickering deep within.
As they contemplated, Arhan’s laughter ca from outside the tent, mingled with the voice of a young man.
The voices grew nearer, the flap of the tent was lifted, and Arhan walked in first, followed closely by the Anpei Clan’s head, Anpei Lan. He wore a white casual outfit, exuding an air sowhat like a master of an era. Though he looked young, his aura was very stable.
Such a man seed gentle and harmless, just like Duan Tang. Yet, everyone present knew that the more harmless a person appeared, the deeper their thoughts.
"General Peng, Miss An, and General Gu are here too! What a coincidence." Anpei Lan expressed surprise upon seeing the people in the tent, then smiled.
An Yiqing glanced at Gu Yelin, then turned and softly said to Anpei Lan with a smile, "Hmm, indeed ’what a coincidence.’" She deliberately emphasized the words ’what a coincidence.’
Anpei Lan seed not to catch the underlying aning, smiling gently at An Yiqing, his gaze fixed firmly on her. Suddenly, a chill swept over, and Anpei Lan’s eyes slightly narrowed, looking at Gu Yelin with a hint of surprise.
"I’ve always heard that Third Young Master Guh of Xuanjin is young and promising, seeing it today indeed proves he is exceptionally talented, and he and Miss An make quite a pair."
Anpei Lan’s words left no room for criticism. Gu Yelin looked at him coldly for so long that everyone thought he wouldn’t say anything more. Suddenly, Gu Yelin spoke up.
"The Patriarch of Anpei overpraises; it is well-recognized that Qing and I make a great match. The Patriarch of Anpei has a keen eye."
