Chapter 447 [Bonus chapter]Interest

Shangguan Xian was not a talkative person. He glanced at the three of them, nodded, then looked away once more.

Shangguan Xiao let out a dry laugh. "Don\'t mind him, my brother didn\'t really like to talk."

"I understand."

"Don\'t worry about it." Feng Ao Si was feeling like a comrade in arm with Shangguan Xian. He knew very well just how troublesome it was for him to introduce his younger brother to other people given by how quiet Feng Ao Kuai was.

Feng Ao Kuai glared at his older brother, seemingly able to read what the other party was thinking.

"We\'ll work together in the future, so take care of me, Young Commanders." Shangguan Xiao smiled.

"Take care of us too, Second Young Master Shangguan."

"I will."

Old Master Nan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw them getting along with each other. He felt that it was quite good that his old friend\'s grandsons were all good people with their own quirks.

Nan Luo then thought of something. "How about Shangguan Yi? Will he come and participate?"

"Shangguan Yi will not participate." Shangguan Xiao shook his head and shrugged. "Second Uncle didn\'t want him to lose his life and be endangered in the slightest bit, so he\'s unwilling to send his son to the frontline."

The three of them were speechless. Shangguan Yi was Shangguan Xiao\'s cousin, but it was clear that their aptitude differed greatly. Shangguan Yi was someone who only knew how to have fun while Shangguan Xiao was someone who strive to become a powerful general in the future.

It seemed that even the Shangguan Family had their own internal strife,

"Can you tell us more about the location?"

"You can actually ask me, Luo." Feng Ao Si was speechless.

Nan Luo glanced at Feng Ao Si. "I can ask you anytime, so now I would like to ask Second Young Master Shangguan First."

Feng Ao Si was speechless, but it was also the truth. They stayed in the same residence and visiting each other was very easy. Thus, the three of them listened to what Shangguan Xiao said. He was explaining the terrain and also the enemies they were going to face in their area of deployment.

Truthfully, they could also ask their grandfather, but for some reason, they wanted to ask this young man first.

At least, for now.

…

On one side of the party, three young men were deeply engaged in a discussion, without regard to everyone else. Some people were looking in their direction, but they didn\'t dare to get closer. Some others were instead wondering just who the other two were since they were not really well known in the Capital City.

"Qian Xing, if you\'re bored, you shouldn\'t have come here," one of them laughed. His handsome face and easygoing aura around him totally misguided people. They would never think of him a shrewd businessman.

The other one was looking at the young merchant, Lin Yuan, with slight apprehensive. "I didn\'t know that you have grown guts to be able to challenge Young Master Long, Lin Yuan."

"Hey, don\'t say my name here." Lin Yuan quickly straightened his seat. He looked at the man in front of him, Song Chuan, with helpless expression. "Are you trying to get me killed?"

Song Chuan merely scoffed. He was a few years older than the other two people in front of him. After Long Qian Xing took him away from that city after seeing his ability to lead others, he was granted access to study and successfully passed the examination, becoming an official.

Right now, his rank was only somewhat in the middle, but it was rising steadily and could even be said to be quite fast. Still, his name was relatively unknown because he didn\'t interact with a lot of other people who was too high ranking.

He didn\'t want to make a big deal out of his capabilities.

"If you don\'t wish to have your identity known, you shouldn\'t have said anything," Long Qian Xing said calmly. The tone of his voice contained mockery, but the other party acted oblivious to it.

Lin Yuan\'s identity as a merchant naturally didn\'t allow him to come into this kind of banquet. The only reason he could come here was because he borrowed the identity of another noble and pretended to be the son of that person. With suitable payment, no one would doubt that there was truly a man named Zu Yuan.

At least, that was his current identity right now.

"I only wish to liven up the situation." Lin Yuan pursed his lips.

At that moment, an announcement from the eunuch reached their ears.

"Nan Family and Feng Family children have arrived."

The three of them raised their heads and three people came in sight. The children came separately because of the situation of their homes. The people there were also tactful enough not to mention such matter. After all, it was not exactly a good thing to have this matter publicized.

Lin Yuan\'s eyes were locked onto Nan Hua as he whispered, "Why would she wear a veil? With such fair skin and slender body, I\'m sure she is incredibly beautiful. Too bad, she\'s too young for me."

"She\'s his fiancée," Song Chuan reminded before Lin Yuan could utter any other irresponsible remarks. "Also, it\'s the rules for unmarried young ladies to wear a veil."

"But he didn\'t even care for her…" Lin Yuan didn\'t manage to finish his sentence because he felt that the temperature had dropped drastically. He felt chills creeping on his back as he glanced to look at his friend. There was no change on Long Qian Xing\'s expression, but the aura around his body was terrifying.

"When did I say that I have no interest in my fiancée?" Long Qian Xing asked word by word slowly.

Song Chuan glanced at Lin Yuan and silently lit a candle for the young merchant in his heart. He felt that no matter how many years it has been, Lin Yuan would never grow up.
