Chapter 3115 Shen Tianyu 515

The middle-aged man jumped down from the building and landed in front of Sheng Po.

He was still dressed in Ming style, with his hair tied up and wearing a beautifully crafted gold hair crown with intertwined branches and black jade. He wore a tight-fitting, wide-sleeved black silk sash embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, and a chestnut belt around his waist, from which hung a pouch and gorgeous accessories.

Originally a martial artist, he was somehow given a touch of refined elegance by the Ming-style clothing.

Sheng Po cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, senior. My name is Sheng Po."

He imitated a character from a period drama, humbly saying, "This junior is very polite."

As a modern person, and one who had studied abroad for many years, he really didn't know how to deal with these Ming dynasty loyalists.

The middle-aged man didn't say much, but his sharp eyes scrutinized and sized him up.

Sheng Po racked his brains for people who looked similar to him, but still couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

After much thought, he realized that he had lost some of his memories when he was imprisoned and controlled by Guwei.

Or perhaps this person only has a certain facial feature that resembles someone he knows.

Bai Ji said sweetly, "Father, it's him. He's a merchant from the capital who came here to climb mountains and explore. He got lost and we hit it off immediately. If I marry him, maybe we can break the curse that has plagued our Bai family for hundreds of years."

Sheng Po thought to himself, "As expected, romantic thoughts don't discriminate by region."

He didn't need to brainwash her at all.

She will embellish his image.

Ji Ren, Bai Ji's father, gave Sheng Po a meaningful look, then walked to the exquisitely carved Ming-style chair, flicked the hem of his clothes, and sat down.

Bai Ji hurriedly invited Sheng Po to sit down as well.

Sheng Po slowly walked to the chair next to Ji Ren and sat down.

Several maids dressed in Ming-style maid uniforms came to serve tea.

As the maids brewed tea, they couldn't help but steal glances at Sheng Po; such a handsome man was truly a rare sight in Fengxu Palace. Three men had come and gone in the past few days, giving the maids a glimpse into his beauty.

Each of the three men has their own strengths.

One Yang, one Immortal, one Enchantress.

Yang's was quickly tied up and taken to a secret room, where no one could see him.

The immortals are unattainable, making people afraid to approach them.

The most charming and handsome of them all, you can also secretly catch a glimpse of their divine beauty.

Ji Ren picked up his teacup, gently blew on the tea, took a slow sip, put down the cup, and looked up at Sheng Po, asking, "Who lives in your family?"

Sheng Po replied, "I am the only one left in the house."

He was referring to the Sheng family.

He was the only one who was free, so it doesn't count as lying.

Ji Ren slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at him sideways, "What kind of business does your family run?"

Sheng Po said, "If you take someone's money, you have to solve their problems."

From the buyer's perspective, the Wan Du cult is indeed a group that takes money and promises to solve problems.

However, their methods were ruthless and inhumane.

Ji Ren responded with an "Oh," and asked, "What kind of disaster are you trying to eliminate? What kind of business is it specifically?"

Bai Ji quickly covered for him: "Anyway, he's just doing some legitimate business, and he's quite capable. If his family's business is very successful and his parents are still alive, he wouldn't want to stay in this secluded place, much less marry into our family. Father, please stop asking so many questions. When will my mother be able to leave the seclusion? I want to marry him as soon as possible."

Ji Ren glanced at her, "Why are you in such a hurry, you young lady? Even if you're marrying into the family, you should at least find out his background, right? What if..."

Bai Ji interrupted him, "There's no 'what if.' He has no sweetheart, and all his family members were killed by his enemies. He's heartbroken and wants to come to this secluded place to find peace. There's no one more suitable than him."

Sheng Po listened quietly.

He thought that Gu Chuchu must have spoken well of him in front of Gu Xiao in the same way.

He was always deeply moved by anything she did for him.

Bai Ji pleaded with him on all fronts, but he remained unmoved.

He didn't say a word back then, only wanting to transfer money to Gu Chuchu, but with this one, he didn't even want to say a nice word to her.

Love and not love are so obvious.

Ji Ren stroked his neatly trimmed beard with his fingers. "I've already agreed to marry your cousin. If you marry him, I won't be able to explain it to him."

Bai Ji grew anxious, walked up to him, nestled against him, and hugged his arm, pleading, "Father, my cousin and I are close relatives. In the outside world, close relatives can't marry, or they'll give birth to an idiot. Our Bai family has been unable to break that curse for hundreds of years. If I marry another close relative, it will be even harder to break it."

Ji Ren said, "Marriage is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly. Let me investigate this person's background before we talk about it."

Bai Ji was slightly annoyed. "Father, you're usually so decisive, why are you dawdling again?"

Ji Ren pulled his arm away from her grasp and scolded, "Look at you, so impatient! Where is your ladylike demeanor? You're nothing like your mother!"

Bai Ji pouted her cherry lips, "I look more like Father, so Father, please agree to this marriage."

Ji Ren knew that she was even less like him.

Neither in appearance nor in temperament is like it at all.

He picked up his teacup again and drank some tea, glancing at Sheng Po as he did so. He took a sip, held the teacup, and said to Bai Ji, "He's too handsome. Men who are too handsome are unreliable. Your cousin is honest and kind, much more reliable."

Bai Ji stood up defiantly, "It's my job to find a man, of course I have to be the one who likes him! If you think my cousin is honest and kind, then you can marry him, why make me suffer?"

"Insolence!" Ji Ren slammed the teacup onto the table, stood up, and stormed off!

Bai Ji was so angry that she stomped her feet at his retreating back!

Sheng Po coldly observed all of this.

Knowing that Ji Ren would be a difficult hurdle to overcome.

It seems that getting past Bai Ji's mother will be even more difficult.

Those dragon scales and phoenix feathers probably won't be so easy to obtain.

But having come all this way, it wouldn't be his style to leave empty-handed after entering a treasure trove.

at the same time.

Jing Hong was being carried by the giant eagle in mid-air on the other side, circling around and around.

Only when it felt it had confused him did the giant eagle fly towards the hotel.

This area is mostly snow-capped mountains and desolate wilderness. The shapes of the mountains are all similar, and there are no obvious landmarks, so it is easy to get lost.

Riding on the giant eagle's back, Jing Hong cursed, "What a cunning, feathered beast! You think I can't find you just by going around in circles? Let me tell you, I can still find you!"

The giant eagle had originally intended to take him back to the hotel, but upon hearing this, it carried him around twice more.

Jing Hong was so angry he wanted to kill it!

Unfortunately, we still had to rely on it to get back to the hotel and to carry Sheng Po back.

We can't just leave him in that secluded valley to spend his life with that vixen surnamed Bai.

After circling around, the giant eagle carried Jing Hong and swooped down towards the hotel.

The last time the giant eagle carried Shen Tianyu, it respectfully brought him to the ground.

This time, while delivering Jing Hong, the giant eagle stumbled in mid-air and threw him down!

Fortunately, Jing Hong knew how to use light-body skills.

It's not serious enough to cause a fall.

He steadied himself on the ground, looked up at the giant eagle, and cursed, "You shameless, feathered beast! Just you wait! One day, I'll settle the score with you! I'll pluck your feathers, skin you, and twist your head off to use as a football!"

The giant eagle understood.

"Plop!" He pooped down!

It went straight for Jing Hong's upturned face!
