At this mont, a burst of hearty laughter ca from outside the door, and everyone looked towards the sound.
"Hahaha, Old Ye, co out! I’ve arrived, you old rascal!"
Ye Chenghong, who was chatting with guests, heard this familiar voice, his brow twitched, and he looked over speechlessly.
At the entrance, first, two bodyguards in black suits ca in. Then, there was a dragon head cane, followed by an elderly man dressed in a blue long robe. Behind him, there was a handso man in a white robe, with an elegant deanor and a sporty attitude, as well as a tall man in a dark blue suit, emanating coldness.
"You old man, wherever you go, you shout so loudly. You scared my guests!" Ye Chenghong said speechlessly, stepping forward and giving a big hug to his long-ti old friend, Duan Yuntian.
The person who arrived was none other than the old Family Head of Muyun Society, Duan Yuntian. The man in the white robe following him was naturally the current Family Head, Duan Tang. The other man, emanating coldness, was the Great Protector of Muyun Society, Ruan Hao.
"Old Ye, good fortune makes one look spirited; you’re living younger!" Duan Yuntian scrutinized Ye Chenghong with amazent.
"What nonsense are you spouting? You’ve got so age yet still act so frivolously!" Ye Chenghong rolled his eyes at Duan Yuntian. "My girl keeps researching so tonics for replenishing Qi and blood, sending them here every three or two days, treating almost like a lab rat. I’ve started to feel like I’m gaining weight."
At the ntion of An Yiqing, Duan Yuntian’s eyes lit up.
"I haven’t seen that girl in days; that little heartless wonder doesn’t even think to co see this old man. My grandson waits and waits, his longing almost making him ill."
Feeling targeted, Duan Tang lightly coughed, "Grandpa, mind your words."
Duan Yuntian glared at him indignantly. He does this all for whom?
Duan Tang lowered his gaze, staying silent, but the glint in his eyes when An Yiqing was ntioned did not escape Ye Chenghong’s notice.
Ah! The youngster of the Duan family is another romantic.
Sighing deeply in his mind, Ye Chenghong shifted the topic.
"Hurry inside; I’ve saved the front seat for you. Xiao Qing is in the backyard helping so senior brothers; she’ll be out soon. By the way, you guys might as well try so dicine for . This girl plans to launch new tonic products for her company very soon and keeps sending samples, I’m about to puke from them."
Under the gaze of Duan Yuntian and Duan Tang, Ye Chenghong impolitely took out a large bag of pills from his pocket and handed them over.
The bag was transparent with twenty pills inside, varying in color and size, looking more like poison than tonic...
"The blue ones replenish Qi and blood, the yellow ones lower blood pressure, the white ones aid sleep, and, ahem, the red ones invigorate male vitality. You try them first; if they work well, co back for more. Make sure to give feedback; otherwise, that girl won’t let off." After saying so, Ye Chenghong scooted off quickly.
Duan Yuntian, Duan Tang, and Ruan Hao looked at the colorful pills in the bag, wide-eyed and puzzled.
"Ahem, for us seniors, Qi and blood replenishing is a must, the blood pressure lowering ones are nice, and the sleep aids suit well. Two of each, you two can split the rest. Girl Qing knows her stuff; we can’t waste good things!" Duan Yuntian was quick and adept, swiftly choosing his pills and sitting aside proudly.
Duan Tang and Ruan Hao exchanged glances, one smiling like a carefree cloud, the other exuding a perpetual icy aura.
"Family Head, these are for you." Ruan Hao stretched out his hand, pushing the red pills—an entire handful—towards Duan Tang and moved his chair back to refuse.
Staring deeply at the red pills, a gentle smile ford on Duan Tang’s lips. With a light breeze blowing, strands of hair fell across his eyes, elegant and graceful. He could envision An Yiqing handing these pills to Ye Chenghong, showing a fox-like grin. Although he hadn’t seen her in a long ti, her features were etched into his mind.
Sighing deeply, Duan Tang found these pills sowhat vexing. Male vitality enhancers...
"Ruan Hao, co here." His seductive thin lips lightly parted, emitting a voice that was gentle yet irresistible.
Ruan Hao’s expression stiffened, but he didn’t move.
Raising his head to look at him, Duan Tang’s gentle eyes held a smile and a hint of scheming.
"I command you in the na of Muyun Society’s Family Head, co here."
Ruan Hao’s vein pulsed, and he grudgingly moved his chair next to Duan Tang.
"You’re no longer young; it’s ti to settle down. Passing on the family line is essential." Duan Tang said quietly, while adjusting his clothes, maintaining a warm smile.
Ruan Hao’s mouth twitched hard, "Family Head, you’re not so young either."
Duan Tang smoothly adjusted his sleeves, exuding charm, "I’m in good health."
Ruan Hao silently protested internally, thinking, "I’m in good health too, Family Head!"
Having received orders from the Boss, he dared not disobey. Feeling sorry for himself, Ruan Hao reluctantly put the red pills into his pocket, pondering who he could pass this hot potato to.
Having helped the senior brothers finish tasks in the backyard school, An Yiqing walked to the front hall with a gentle smile. As she stepped out of the front hall’s door, she saw Duan Yuntian and Duan Tang seated in the first row.
"Grandpa Duan!" An Yiqing smiled and walked over, waving at Duan Yuntian.
"Well, little girl, you haven’t visited in quite so ti! With a grandson who acts like an old man, life has been quite dull for this elderly!" Upon seeing An Yiqing, Duan Yuntian couldn’t help but smile. He sighed internally, thinking, she’s such a wonderful girl; alas, his grandson didn’t fight hard enough, letting others claim her. What a sha!
"Grandpa Duan, I just returned from Langgesanu Peak half a month ago, and have been busy with affairs in Xuanjin Hall ever since," An Yiqing said. "Once things settle down, I’ll definitely visit you for a chat!"
Standing up, Duan Tang took a chair and placed it behind An Yiqing. Not being shy, An Yiqing promptly sat down and turned to look at Duan Tang.
"Family Head Duan is quite in the lilight lately, I’ve heard." Recently, Muyun Society achieved a collaboration agreent with Country Ran, securing eight percent of the oil profits. Although eight percent might not seem much, it is truly a golden fortune. Even just one percent would ensure a lifeti of carefree abundance.
With a gentle smile resembling blossoming crabapple flowers, Duan Tang’s eyebrows raised slightly as he jokingly looked at An Yiqing. "You’ve been missing for so long, yet you remain so inford. It seems like you’ve been paying quite a bit of attention to ."
"Family Head Duan has quite the grand gesture, making it hard not to pay attention." An Yiqing said with her eyes smiling, suddenly noticing more guests arriving at the door, she quickly got up. "I still need to get busy; Grandpa Duan and Family Head Duan, please take a seat. After the event, Master has a small feast planned; you two must be present."
Having said that, An Yiqing left her seat and went to greet other guests at the front door.
Duan Tang’s focused gaze remained on that white figure, amidst warmth was a hint of darkness, and within his smile, a touch of lancholy.
Duan Yuntian, observing the state of his grandson, sighed helplessly.
Soon enough, all the guests were present. Only a handful remained absent. Everyone from the dicine Sect had gathered in the front hall, waiting for the auspicious ti to arrive.
Just then, footsteps were heard at the entrance, as a sprightly elderly man entered. Upon seeing him, everyone instantly stood up.
This was Old Commander Gu of Xuanjin, an esteed figure, admired yet unreachable.
"Old Gu, you’ve finally arrived. Old Duan has been ranting about you for a good while!" Ye Chenghong went up cheerfully, followed by An Yiqing and Nie Yuan, among others.
Gu Zhongyi ca laughing, followed by Gu Yelin in full military attire. His first glance was directed at the white figure behind Ye Chenghong, softening his icy gaze.
"That old fella can only talk the talk; let’s see if he dares fight !" Gu Zhongyi scoffed, casting a glance at Ye Chenghong, then focusing on An Yiqing behind him.
"Grandpa!" An Yiqing greeted with a smile, "I didn’t personally go to et you; I hope you won’t hold it against ?"
Gu Zhongyi knew it was a joke, yet he still gave her a stern look, "This girl is getting craftier, even bluffing her grandpa! You and Lao San are husband and wife; it’s all the sa, whoever cos to et . I’m not decrepit; I like walking myself!"
