"I was silent for a moment before shaking my head and saying, 'I'm not that fragile, there are too many things to do everywhere, so you don't have to worry about me.'"
"Indeed?" She looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze, carrying a hint of doubt.
"It can't be faked." I shook my head.
"Liang Yu's face slightly eased."
Her brow furrowed again, and she said, "Then gather your emotions and still follow me."
I fell silent.
I understood her intention without asking Liang Yu.
She was quite resistant to the unexpected guests at Liang's place.
Bringing me along must mean it's time to "send the guests away."
In reality, I don't want to be involved in these trivial matters. It's just that, Liang Yu has helped me a lot in various ways, and before that, he even helped me find the "gap" between him and Huanying.
The problem is clear to me, but I have not faced it directly. She has mentioned many things that I must face directly.
Helping is a two-way street.
"Let's go." Taking a step forward, I walked ahead first.
Liang Yu waved her fists, and she immediately followed me.
As the messenger returned to the front courtyard hall.
It's quite lively here.
My pupils slightly constricted, recognizing a familiar face sitting in the lower right corner of the upholstered chair.
Liang Yu's father, Liang Jieshi, was conversing with him in good spirits.
With a slender figure, very feminine, his skin was extremely white, and his face looked like gold paper. His straight hair on the temples, and the strands of hair on the sideburns hanging down, looked eerie at night. However, during the day, it gave people a feeling of lacking masculinity.
I must say, this person... looks somewhat handsome and somewhat like a woman.
Behind him, standing were two others. Judging by their aura and attire, they should be the servants he brought along.
Several wooden boxes were placed by Liang Jieshi's side.
The rest of the seats were occupied by Liang family members, and there were also many standing. They all wore joyful expressions and occasionally looked at the man and then at the several wooden boxes.
Liang Yu's face changed dramatically. She was filled with surprise and suspicion, saying, "You dare to come to my house!?"
The man raised his head, and a kind smile appeared on his face, but he did not speak.
Liang Jieshi spoke in a grave voice: "Liang Yu, why are you so impolite?"
"Master Liang, please don't take offense. It was I who offended the young miss first."
Standing up, the man actually faced towards Liang Yu, bowing slightly with his fists.
He glanced at me with a thoughtful look, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"I am Chang Xin. I acted rashly last night, and I hope Miss Liang will forgive me."
Liang Yu's face slightly changed, and she looked at me, but her eyes were filled with confusion and uncertainty.
I actually don't know what the person is up to.
In theory, since we invaded his territory and snatched someone from him, he should be seeking revenge by coming to Liang's family.
Now there is no retaliation, and even gifts are being sent to Liang's family, and an apology is given to Liang Yu...
His purpose has left me baffled.
"Cough cough, Young Master Chang, where is that from? Liang Yu was reckless and dared to be so aggressive towards you, using three apes to harm you. That is already very impudent. This matter is just a misunderstanding. If everyone could sit down and talk properly, there wouldn't have been a fight."
"We've heard about the person Mr. Luo wants to take away. It has nothing to do with him personally. He should also be helping the corpse."
"Yes, Uncle Luo?" Liang Jieshi looked at me, his face remained relaxed, without any sign of difficulty, aiming to mediate.
I nodded.
We can only wait and see how things will turn out since we don't know the other person's origins.
"Haha, I have already thought about it. Those people were indeed a bit overbearing, but if Brother Luo wants them, I will hand them over."
"I had heard Brother Luo's name before, and I thought, you two must be relatives." Chang Xin smiled broadly, bowing to me again.
I maintained a steady expression, but my heart slightly contracted.
"Cut it out, you're saying it better than singing it. If you really want to let people go, just do it directly. Luo Xianshen and them are not related to us, we're not interested in others, and you don't need to pretend. What do you want to do at my house? Just say it out loud." Liang Yu's character was very arrogant and stubborn, not indulging Chang Xin at all.
"Liang Yu, what is it!"
Liang Jieshi stood up and immediately walked over to Liang Yu, pulling her over to the upholstered chair beside him.
He then looked towards Chang Xin, full of apologies: "Young Master Chang, please forgive me. This girl has been spoiled rotten."
Then, Liang Jieshi looked at Liang Yu with great seriousness and said, "Young Master Chang is from Liaodong, 26 years old, and has already become a highly skilled spirit-medium. He has exceptional talent."
"He met you by chance yesterday and immediately noticed the apes on your body. He wanted to have a proper conversation with you, but instead, you directly attacked him!"
"Fortunately, Young Master Chang is quite capable, otherwise, this misunderstanding would be hard to resolve!"
"What Young Master Chang said earlier about the inheritance of spirit mediums is very beneficial to our Liang family. If we can learn from it, we may even be able to break away from the reputation of being a side track!"
"He also brought along generous gifts."
At this point, Liang Jieshi coughed and continued, "Young Master Chang is unmarried, and he has expressed an interest in becoming a son-in-law to our Liang family. I think this matter is quite good."
My eyelids twitched, and I finally realized something.
I glanced at Liang Yu, then looked at Chang Xin, slightly stepping back.
This matter is beyond my jurisdiction.
Chang Xin did not come with any evil intentions.
Offering gifts, and even a legacy?
Yes, his peculiar appearance was like a snake, almost. I don't understand spirit mediums, but I can at least see that his state is somewhat like being possessed by a ghost, but not entirely.
Lao Gong had mentioned a few words, saying something about "dual spirit mediums."
The Liang family has its flaws.
The apes are strong, and the Liang family members are weak; they are their weak spots!
However...
Can the Liang family members let the apes possess them?
Then, it would be difficult to predict how much their strength would increase.
Chang Xin's face slightly improved, and he nodded slightly.
Clearly, he was paying close attention to my every move.
My thoughts were like lightning, but Liang Yu stared at Liang Jieshi with a dazed expression, and her voice suddenly changed tone.
"Dad!"
"Would you like to hear what you're saying yourself?!?"
Liang Yu's face flushed red instantly!
She kicked a wooden box with a loud grunt of pain.
Afterward, she turned her head to look at Chang Xin, and suddenly, three apes appeared on her body, exuding a menacing aura.
"You stinking man! You can't take me, and you even have such cunning plans! I'll kill you!"
Liang Jieshi made an unusual sound with his mouth, and the three apes on Liang Yu's body suddenly dispersed...
"Liang Yu, you mustn't be disrespectful!" Liang Jieshi immediately took a step forward, standing between Liang Yu and Chang Xin.
At this moment, the other members of the Liang family with higher status all began to speak.
"Liang Yu, your capricious temperament should be toned down. As the only daughter of the Liang family, the issue of offspring must be considered."
"Yes, you once liked a Daoist, and the family let you go, only to gain nothing and almost lose your life. In these few years, there have been some things in your life that we don't want to mention."
"Those things are definitely not suitable. Well, this Young Master Chang Xin is very suitable. Look, he has a nice appearance; don't you like this type?"
"He is even stronger, and the three apes couldn't control him. As he said, he only used half of his strength. At such a young age, he has exceptional talent. Plus, our Liang family also has potential. It wouldn't be improper to make him a son-in-law. Marrying each other wouldn't be a problem!"
