Chapter 5 Go Home! The richest man in Shenquan City

"Master, please tell me."

"Uncle Ren, send your two capable brothers on a long trip to that... Mobei Xiangzong, and call Jiajia back."

Uncle Ren nodded and said , " Okay! The young master has returned from his studies. It's time for Master Shen to come back and accompany the young master to relieve his boredom."

"Okay, that's all. Go ahead and do your thing. There's no need to arrange for an escort. I'll be out in a minute."

Uncle Ren suddenly lowered his voice and said , " Master! To be honest, I just got the news that a group of very powerful bandits have sneaked into the city recently, and you seem to be one of their targets!"

"Bandits?" Hua Duxiu didn't react for a moment.

"One of them? What does one of them mean? Is there anyone else in Demon Breaking City who is as eye-catching as me?"

Uncle Ren said , " The governor of our Trapped Demon Valley just took over a few days ago. These bandits are wandering outside the governor's mansion, and they seem to be planning to take over the governor's mansion."

Hua Duxiu laughed and said , " Isn't it possible that these bandits are crazy?"

Hua Duxiu thought to himself: It makes sense to put the Governor and me side by side.

Uncle Ren whispered , " The world is not peaceful, the government is weak, and the bandits may have ulterior motives."

"No matter how weak the government is, it is still stronger than the bandits, right? Moreover, it is the Governor's Office."

Uncle Ren nodded , " That's for sure. The Governor's Mansion is heavily guarded, and those bandits are stalking from the outside. I'm afraid they won't dare to show up easily. There are also hidden talents in the government."

"However, I am very worried that they will harm the young master! I have arranged a few escorts to keep an eye on them."

"Are all our escorts so idle? Don't they have any business to do?"

Uncle Ren said awkwardly , " I'm not too busy."

Hua Duxiu waved his hand and said , " Whatever you want. Uncle Ren, go and do your thing, don't delay my morning shower. Oh, and don't forget what I told you to do."

"How could I forget what the young master told me? I will arrange for someone to go to Mobei right away!"

Uncle Ren said goodbye and left.

Hua Duxiu washed and combed his hair carefully, then got into the carriage feeling refreshed and set off out of the city.

As for Miss Yaoyao?

Haha, Playboy had forgotten her long ago.

What the playboy hates most is using his brain to think about things and working hard to sweat.

Wouldn't it be nice to quietly recite a poem and paint a picture?

After leaving the city, the cavalry headed south along the wide official road.

In the dark, several men in black tights followed quietly, one of whom was Zhao Erdan, the leader of the robbers last night.

"Boss, we have investigated everything. This guy surnamed Hua is a son of the Hua Escort Agency in Shenquan City, Yanyu County. His rescue of that girl yesterday was probably unintentional!"

Zhao Erdan nodded and asked , " Did he do anything unusual last night?"

"Peng Lu came to invite Hua last night, but Hua refused and slept in the inn for the whole night. He left the city early this morning."

"Haha, this kid probably doesn't know who he saved yet?"

Zhao Erdan thought for a while and said , " Shenquan City in Yanyu County? That's interesting. We are also going to Shenquan City in a few days. Then... hehe!"

"Boss, are we still going to deal with him today?"

Zhao Erdan glared at his younger brother , " What are you doing? Go and do it? Don't you know who did who yesterday?"

"Yes Yes……"

"There are also a group of warriors in disguise ahead of us, who seem to be secretly protecting the boy named Hua. Let's retreat. Hua's escort agency in Shenquan City? Humph, when the time comes, we can tell Lord Li to let us deal with them."

The robbers took another look at the horse team that was staggering and moving leisurely, and left quietly.

The horse team stopped and started, and Hua Duxiu traveled along the way to enjoy the mountains and rivers. It took them five days to reach the destination on the 800-mile journey.

"Xiu'er!"

Hua Duxiu's father, Hua Qian, the head of Hua's Escort Agency, received the news happily and went to meet him ten miles outside Shenquan City.

"Xiu'er, you finally come home. You missed your father so much! How many days will you stay at home this time?" Hua Qian asked.

"Father, I won't leave this time. Xiu'er has started his apprenticeship."

"Oh? You've already become a master in just three years? My Xiu'er is really smart. Your father studied hard in the Demonic Flow House for ten years before he could graduate. And you've already become a master in just three years!"

Hua Duxiu said proudly , " The disciple is better than the master, can you compete with me?"

Hua Qian said , " That's right, that's right, Xiu'er is extremely talented, and your father is naturally incomparable."

While others were not paying attention, Qian Hua asked quietly , " Xiu'er, what level have you reached in the 'Devil Flow Chi Fenghen' skill?"

Hua Duxiu smiled mysteriously , " Great success cannot be stopped, only one step away from perfection."

"Sure, sure! Haha!"

Qian Hua patted Hua Duxiu's shoulder with satisfaction, and he was truly satisfied from the bottom of his heart.

Shenquan City is located in the southwest of Kunmo Valley and belongs to Yanyu County.

When they returned home, Xiu's mother had already arranged for the servants to prepare a table full of food, and she happily invited Hua Duxiu to sit down and eat.

There is no way. The Hua family has been a single-line family for nine generations. Hua Duxiu is the treasure of the whole family and his status is a hundred times higher than that of his father.

At night, Hua Qian and Hua Duxiu, who had eaten and drunk their fill, strolled in their own yard.

After all, he is the richest man in Shenquan City. The Hua family’s garden covers an area of more than one hundred acres and has pavilions, terraces and waterside pavilions.

Hua Qian said , " Why didn't you stay in the Demonic Flow House for a few more years and learn some sword skills?"

Hua Duxiu said , " It's not that Xiu'er wanted to come back, it's that those old men insisted on chasing me away, and I couldn't do anything about it."

"Oh? Could it be that I am so outstanding that I am too popular and have aroused the jealousy of the villain?"

Hua Duxiu sighed , " You are so right. I should have listened to you and not been so outstanding."

Hua Qian nodded and said , " Our Hua family has only one son from generation to generation, and a pair of eyes can... Hehe, ordinary people can't compare. But it's good to come back. As long as you learn the 'Demon Flow Chi Fenghen' well, nothing else matters."

Hua Duxiu's heart moved and he couldn't help but blinking.

Huaqian touched his collar and saw a golden pendant hanging around his neck.

That is an ancestral treasure, which is closely related to the secret of the Hua family's eyes.

Hua Duxiu asked in a low voice , " Dad, what secrets are hidden in the eyes of our Hua family?"

Hua Qian was stunned for a moment and said , " You are anxious again. Don't worry, when the time comes, Dad will tell you everything."

Hua Duxiu frowned , " What time? When will it arrive?"

Qian Hua smiled and said , " This secret involves a lot of things. You might feel uneasy after knowing it. You don't have enough strength to protect yourself now. I will tell you when you are strong enough."

Hua Duxiu snorted heavily and said dissatisfiedly , " I almost became an elder of the Demonic Flow House, am I not qualified enough?"

Hua Qian patted Hua Duxiu on the shoulder and said , " You have always disliked fame, don't worry, don't worry, your father knows what is going on."

Hua Duxiu said angrily , " Hmph, stop bluffing me!"

He laughed several times and looked very happy.

"Our Hua family has settled in Shenquan City, and you are the ninth generation. It seems that the ability of your eyes... has also accumulated to the strongest level. This is all given by our ancestors. Let's go and burn some incense and meet the ancestors."

"All right."

The two of them passed through layers of gates and arrived at the deepest part of the Hua family compound.

There are dense ancient locust trees and flowers and plants everywhere.

This is the Hua family’s ancestral home. The ancestral hall is built here, and only very few people can come here.

He spent money to light three incense sticks, bowed respectfully and kowtowed three times.

"Xiu'er, come and pay your respects."

Hua Duxiu looked at the seats on the altar, they were all the ancestors of the Hua family.

Hua Dehua, Hua Yanzu, Hua Jielun, Hua Tingfeng, Hua Chengwu...

These were all well-known figures in the world back then.

In his early years, Hua traveled around the world and did many earth-shaking things.

In recent generations, the Hua family has been focusing on running the family escort business. Now, the business scope covers the entire Yanyu County, and even the other eight counties in Kunmo Valley.

After paying homage to their ancestors, Hua and his son came out of the ancestral hall.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Hua Duxiu couldn't help but look at the iron-locked garden of the ancestral home.

The iron lock was already covered with rust.

Hua Duxiu felt a pang in his heart and couldn't help but touch the peach wood sword on his back.

Qian Hua gently patted Hua Duxiu's shoulder and asked , " Missing Qingyue again?"

Hua Duxiu smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Shen Qingyue was his childhood sweetheart and fiancée, but unfortunately, when they were playing together as children...something terrible happened in the garden of their ancestral home.

There, there is a gloomy and terrifying ancient well.

But Hua Duxiu couldn't remember anything.

The peach wood sword in Hua Duxiu's hand was the last gift Shen Qingyue left for Hua Duxiu.

The two left the ancestral home and walked outside.

“Dad, I…”

Hua Duxiu seems to have something to hide.

Hua Qian was stunned , " What's wrong?"

Hua Duxiu hesitated whether to say it or not, and thought to himself, my son has been in Moliu Mansion for three years. Calculating the time, could it be... could it be that he started to have wet dreams, and there is no one around him to ask, so he finds it difficult to speak up?

Alas, in this kind of matter, it really takes a father to guide the conversation!

Sex/enlightenment is not a trivial matter!

Qian Hua coughed lightly and wanted to ask, but when the words came to his lips, he felt a little embarrassed.

Xiu'er is seventeen and is not a child anymore. When you talk about this... even I, as your father, can't open my mouth?

After a moment of hesitation, Hua Duxiu had made up his mind and said , " In the past three years, I often dreamed of..."

Hua Qian was startled and said to himself: Here it comes.

be prepared!

Spending money has even condensed into an absolutely "fatherly" smile.

Hua Duxiu said quietly , " In the past three years, I have often dreamed of Qingyue, and almost every time it was the same scene."

The smile on Hua Qian's "kind father" face froze.

Wet dream object?

This... this is not easy for me to answer?

Isn't it inappropriate for a father to discuss this with his son?

And Qingyue is already... Alas.

Hua Qian was speechless, and Hua Duxiu continued softly , " Every time I want to see Qingyue's face clearly, I can't do it. I can only see a ball of white mist."

Hua Qian was shocked: What’s wrong with the atmosphere?

Hua Duxiu turned his head and stared at Hua Qian , " What happened then? I, I can't remember anything. In the past three years, I often had the same dream, but when I woke up, I couldn't remember anything. I only remembered Qingyue in the dream. She...she..."

Hua Qian felt sad and patted Hua Duxiu's shoulder gently.

"Xiu'er, don't think too much about it. Let's just let it go."

Hua Duxiu's breathing was a little rapid, but he slowly controlled his emotions and gradually calmed down.

Yes, many years have passed.

After the incident, when he was found, he was already in a deep coma, and Shen Qingyue had drowned.

Hua Duxiu shook his head, and the two of them left the old house, strolled in the outer garden, and started chatting about slightly lighter topics.

"How has our business been doing in recent years? I see Uncle Ren has gained weight. Is it possible that he can't get any work?" Hua Duxiu asked.

"Xiu'er, you are thoughtful."

He looked up at the sky and said, "In recent years, a large escort company has emerged in Tiannan County, competing with us everywhere, and the business is so-so. Don't worry, your father will definitely work hard to make money for you."

Hua Duxiu said , " Then you have to work hard. I'm still young and I'll need money a lot in the future."

"Ha, don't worry, even if I dare to be lazy, your mother won't agree."

As they were chatting, a escort leader came running over and said:

"Boss, young master, there is a cavalry team outside, bringing many gifts, saying they want to see you!"

Hua Duxiu asked , " You want to give me a gift? Are you asking me to paint a picture or to give you a calligraphy? I just came back today, and it has caused a sensation so soon?"

The escort leader's face darkened and he shook his head , " It seems neither of them is true."

Huaqian said , " Let's go to the front yard and take a look."

In the front yard, a burly man saw Hua Duxiu and the others and immediately bowed and said , " I meet Mr. Hua."

Hua Duxiu looked at the carriages filled with gifts and nodded , " Brother, although my calligraphy is valuable, you brought so many gifts...how many poems and songs do you plan to ask me to write?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said , " Mr. Hua, you misunderstood. I was assigned by Miss Yaoyao to come here to present a small gift to express my gratitude."

The man turned around and said , " Take down all the boxes and open them for Mr. Hua to have a look."

A dozen strong men lifted the heavy wooden boxes from the carriage and opened them one by one. Inside were all items for food, clothing and daily necessities. Although they were not very expensive things, they were exquisitely made and made of fine materials, and it was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into them.

Hua Duxiu frowned and asked , " Miss Yaoyao? Which Miss Yaoyao?"

The man smiled and said , " Mr. Hua is really a forgetful person. A few days ago, Mr. Hua was traveling with my young lady. How could you forget so quickly?"

Hua Qian said , " Brother, please come in and have a chat."

The man clasped his fists and replied , " No, no, Shopkeeper Hua, I am just delivering the gift as ordered. Now that I have delivered it, I will leave and report back."

After some polite exchanges, the man immediately said goodbye and left, not daring to even drink a sip of Hua Mansion's tea.

Qian Hua asked curiously , " Xiu'er, where did you meet this young lady from a wealthy family?"

Hua Duxiu scratched his head , " A walking hormone like me, I'm the focus wherever I go. It's not strange to be missed by a famous lady, right? I... I can't remember."

Hua Qian nodded , " That's right, my Xiu'er has been lovable since she was young."
