Chapter 507 The Night Before

Mingjun walked on the street of Chihuyan with his body hunched slightly.

He is nearly sixty years old, already considered old among mortals.

Because of the hard work he put in when he was young, although he is still in good spirits now, his hair has turned gray and the wrinkles on his face are much older than his actual age.

He is walking towards home at the moment.

Mingjun did not call the sedan chair on the roadside to see him off, but chose to walk back alone.

It was also in this alone state that he showed a little of his true emotions.

He is very nervous!

The toughness in the box before was just to support Shen He.

After all, Xue Lian was facing the noble family with Qixing behind her!

Even if there is even a hint of news about the quarrel between you and your family, you and even the family behind you will suffer disaster! This terrifying existence!

You don't even need your family to take action, those caring people who smell the smell will take action against you out of the desire to curry favor with your family.

Mingjun knew all the risks, but he still did it.

Fortunately, Xue Lian didn't finish the matter in the end, and he managed to survive.

Although he was afraid, he did not regret his choice to do that.

As long as he thinks of Shen He's experience as a child, he is unwilling to let her be wronged again.

I didn't expect Ah He to actually leave Ouyang, but it was a good idea to leave. So Ouyang does not seem like a good match to me. Why didn't Ouyang come to see me since he was leaving?

A trace of disappointment and worry flashed across Mingjun's face. He didn't know where Shen He went when he ran away this time, and he was a little worried about her safety.

His pace was not fast, and because he was worried, it was already afternoon by the time he walked slowly through Chihu Rock, walked past the school, and returned to his home.

Mingjun, who kept his head down and just walked on, felt that he was very hungry. Walking such a long way also made his legs begin to swell. Seeing that he was about to reach home, he silently quickened his pace a little, hoping to get home early and do something.

Some food.

But as soon as I turned an intersection, I saw that the front was packed with people for some reason.

These people seemed to be gathered in front of a house, arguing fiercely about something.

He looked up in confusion and realized that the people in front of him were the Wang family, the head of Xuanmen.

That is the main line of his family.

Before the Wang family moved to Liyue Port, their life was pretty good, and they had branched off into several branches over the centuries.

Wang Mingjun is one of them, and Shen He's father is another one.

Xuanmen is different from other ordinary families or families in Liyue. Even if the families have been separated for three generations, blood relationships are recognized among each other.

Famous families will write all the family members in their branches into a genealogy.

Therefore, for thousands of years, unless the contact is slowly lost over time, as long as the name is left in the genealogy, the family will recognize it.

Therefore, even though Mingjun's family was separated from the main line by many generations, now seeing that the main line family was surrounded, he walked away without thinking too much.

In the distance, he heard someone in the crowd shouting.

"You Wang family are so unkind! You deceived us all!"

"Yes, it's in vain that you are still the leader of Xuanmen this term. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will go to the General Affairs Department to apply for your impeachment!"

"That's right, since our Xuanmen lineage moved to Liyue Port, haven't we all supported each other to get to where we are today? Your royal family is living alone?!"

Everyone was talking to each other, making Wang Yunsong, who was standing at the door, smile bitterly in his heart.

He wanted to refute, but in this heated and angry situation, he couldn't get a word in.

As he got closer and closer, Feng Jun heard the crowd's condemnation, and he became more and more confused.

What did the mainline people do?

Why is everyone so excited?!

When he came to the outskirts of the crowd, he didn't understand the situation and wanted to find someone to ask about the situation first.

Scanning his eyes, Mingjun came to a relatively familiar person, reached out and patted the other person's shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "Old Wei, what happened?"

"Wang Mingjun?!"

What Mingjun didn't expect was that as soon as he asked, the old Wei exclaimed after seeing clearly that it was him.

The loudness of the voice and the complex expression that seemed both surprised and surprised made Mingjun completely confused.

What's even more bizarre is that as his name was shouted in Lao Wei's blaring voice, the crowd suddenly stopped as if a pause button had been pressed.

All those quarrels stopped at this moment.

People turned to look at him, and the expressions on their faces quickly changed from confusion to surprise.

Such a scene made Mingjun take half a step back unconsciously.

He didn't understand what happened to these people today, and the pairs of eyes made him feel terrified.

Just when Mingjun didn't know what to do, Wang Yunsong, the leader of the Wang family, walked through the crowd and came to him.

Wang Yunsong held Mingjun's hand excitedly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and asked slightly quickly: "How is Mingjun? Have you met anyone from your family?"

"I've seen it." He replied while looking at the silent crowd. Finally, he looked at Wang Yunsong and asked, "Brother Song, what's going on?"

"Hahaha" Wang Yunsong did not answer when he heard this, but laughed heartily.

He stretched out his other hand and patted Mingjun's shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, is your family going to discuss some cooperation with you?"

Um?

Mingjun gradually discovered that things seemed to be somewhat different from what he expected. It seemed that the center of the incident was not Brother Song, but himself.

Mingjun, who had some guesses in his mind, glanced around again and saw that the people surrounding him had their eyes widened and looked at him without saying a word, as if they were waiting for his answer.

"Your family wanted to cooperate with me on something, but I refused."

"Hahaha, cooperation is good, cooperation eh?!!"

Wang Yunsong, who was smiling just now, was frozen in place as if he had been cast a restraining spell.

He slowly raised his head mechanically and looked at Mingjun, his expression full of disbelief, and asked again in a trembling tone: "Mingjun, what did you just say? I'm old and can't hear you clearly."

"I said those cooperations were rejected by me."

Wow——

Mingjun had just finished speaking, but before Wang Yunsong could speak, the crowd that had been quiet before became excited at this moment.

"Refuse?! Why?"

"Why did you refuse?"

"You actually refused such a huge benefit?!"

People quickly surrounded Wang Yunsong and Mingjun.

They were talking noisily, but because there were so many people talking, Mingjun couldn't hear what they were saying.

Wang Yunsong and Mingjun supported each other, and with the help of the servants, they managed to pass through the crowd and return to the house.

People in the Xuanmen lineage were naturally unhappy when they saw the two of them leaving.

They all wanted to follow what happened at the Han Tingli family, but the Han family was not the Wang family after all.

With the servants holding the door open, the two old men, whose combined ages were over 130 years old, finally found temporary relief.

In the yard, Wang Yunsong beat his old waist, and without caring about anything else, he directly asked Mingjun: "Those outside have just come from Han Tingli. According to Tingli, Ningguang summoned Liyue merchants this time.

This is a big matter. Your family intends to support the Han family and is willing to cooperate with your family. Why do you refuse it when you say it?"

"Brother Song, do you still remember what I told you before, that when I lived in a village on the outskirts of Lisha, I had a distant relative?"

"You mean that Shen He, right?" Wang Yunsong frowned and thought for a moment, then continued, "That's what you said. When the child was still young, his father was blinded by lard and cruelly sacrificed the child to

The evil one?"

"right!"

Mingjun said with a hint of nostalgia: "That child had a hard life. Her mother died when she was a child, and she was cruelly abandoned by her father. When I received the news and rushed there, the child had disappeared.

Her father also realized at that moment what he had done, went crazy, and died soon after."

"I thought the child was just gone. Although some villagers in that village said that an immortal rescued the child, I didn't believe it."

"What we in Liyue are most in need of are spirits of fairies, ghosts and monsters, but except for Prince Yan, I have never seen any of them, so I never believe it. I just treat it as a thought."

"Unexpectedly, last year, before the Hai Lantern Festival, I suddenly met her at the school gate, and I realized that Ahe was really saved by an immortal."

When it comes to excitement, Mingjun's emotions are a little choked up.

He slowed down before continuing: "It was also at that time that I learned that Ahe is following Ouyang now. It was her immortal master who sent her to protect Ouyang."

"Later, I found out that the two of them were together."
