CH 54.1

Yan Feichi was shocked by his amazing confidence for a moment, but he didn’t take it seriously. Treating it as just a joke.

On the contrary, he felt that this seemingly unattainable young man in white suddenly became amiable.

He was about to take a few steps forward to chat with him, when he suddenly remembered what he had been thrown away before. His face darkened slightly.

He is a very fastidious person.

Every day he eats and wears well. When going out, there is not even a wrinkle on his clothes, even the sword on his body should be wiped clean and shiny every day.

Even if he ran away for three days and three nights, looking even more dishevelled than a beggar, Yan Feichi was not a real beggar after all. The danger passed, and his pride as the young master of Jiangnan Escort Bureau organisation returned.

Yan Feichi dragged the three men in purple to one side, then leaned down with his back to Yuan Buwei. It seemed that he wanted to find clues from them, but at last he stood up and sighed with disappointment.

It seems that nothing has been found.

He seemed to give up on that plan completely, left the three and went to the well in the backyard of the temple, tidied up his whole body, wiped off the blood stains on his face, and finally showed his true appearance.

A handsome and dignified face, flying eyebrows still with traces of self-confidence and pride from being raised in luxurious clothes, expensive beds and soft pillows.

“I’m Yan Feichi. I was the son of the chief of the Jiangnan Escort Bureau organisation. Dare I ask your name? Regarding this life saving grace, Yan gao will never forget it.”

Yan Feichi came forward and sat opposite of Yuan Buwei.

The flame flickered, reflecting a pair of indifferent eyes as dark as ink. The black hair and white clothes created a great contrast.

“Chi Jianxue.”

Yuan Buwei said a name that sounded completely new to Yan Feichi, in which he had no impression of.

This was a bit unexpected.

Searching through his memory of many great sects, there was no mention of this name. However the demeanour around him is definitely beyond the upbringing of a small family or a rural background.

Is he the disciple of a secluded great master?

Guessing Yuan Buwei’s identity in his heart did not prevent Yan Feichi from continuing to chat with him.

Being able to use Jiangnan in their name, it can be seen that the Yan Family’s Escort Bureau organisation is extraordinary. The chief Yan Xing has a wide range of contacts and acquaintances in Jiangnan. Yan Feichi, as the young master, is also used to dealing with all kinds of people, and has seen a variety of eccentric experts. Although he is arrogant by nature, he also knows to bow down at the right time.

He first slowly explained what happened to his family.

“Speaking of which, this is also an unreasonable disaster”

“Half a year ago, the sword madman He Lianfeng wanted to challenge Zhan Zhengyi’s leader Lu Hanyang, and entrusted the Jiangnan Escort Bureau organisation to escort him. If he was defeated and died, we would quietly return his remains to Shangjing and return them to his only daughter.”

“It has been half a year since this incident. The Jiangnan Escort Bureau organisation has returned the remains of the sword maniac to his orphaned daughter as scheduled. Unexpectedly that young miss He Lian suddenly disappeared without any reason. We don’t know whether she’s dead or alive, but what’s that have to do with my family?”

“For no reason, some people suspected that our Jiangnan Escort Bureau had hidden the technique that the sword maniac used to become famous when he was young. They rushed over one night.”

Reaching this point, he looked gloomy, his eyes were glaring and his forehead veins were about to burst. He felt regretful, resentful, and unwilling, as if the accumulated depression in his chest wanted to explode out.

According to Yan Feichi, the other party’s actions were too sudden, and the top killers of Tianyi Pavilion were hired. Except for those who had escorting work outside at that time, all 103 people in the Jiangnan Escort Bureau were killed.

Yan Feichi, as the only survivor, escaped from the secret passage under the protection of his father, who knew how dire the situation was.

Even so, the men in purple quickly caught up with him, and he has been on the run for three days and three nights.

He stood up again and thanked Yuan Buwei again.

“If brother Chi didn’t help me, I would not have been spared.”

As for An Yan who actually made the move, he was acting as a servant at this time, sitting quietly and roasting rabbits. Although this person is a great master, he is only a servant after all, and Yan Feichi paid no attention to him.

Yuan Buwei said lightly: “You don’t need to thank me, I think this rabbit deserves a thank you the most.” As he spoke, he pointed to the rabbit that emitted a fragrant aroma.

Yan Feichi: …

“If this rabbit hadn’t attracted enough hatred, the majestic Tianyi Pavilion purple-clothed killers wouldn’t have lost their life for nothing. In this calculation, this rabbit is worth at least three hundred taels of gold.”

Yuan Buwei, he sighed solemnly, and once again, he felt sorry for the three tool men, but people could not tell whether he was serious or joking.

“After 16 years of living, this meal is the most luxurious one”

Yan Feichi couldn’t respond for a moment, when An Yan had already opened his mouth with a smile: “Gong zi1  no matter how extravagant, you deserve it. Regretfully this subordinate is too unskilled and has wasted the rabbit worth three hundred taels of gold in vain.”

He sighed deeply and reflected deeply on himself. Every word came from his heart. Almost as if the regret came from his soul:

“You have been wronged.”

This is the appearance of a licking dog.

The bodies of the three men in purple still lay there with their eyes closed. After all, he must be a first-class master in the world, and he was able to lick to such an extent that he raised the threshold for qualifying as licking dogs. It almost made Yan Feichi suspect that everything he saw before was fake.

Can’t compare, can’t compare.

Yan Feichi was forced to swallow the words he had come up with in this short time.

He took a different approach and suggested with a smile: “In that case, you might as well give it to me. In the culinary way, I can boast that I have some small experience.”

Yuan Buwei glanced at him doubtfully.

As if afraid of his refusal, Yan Feichi hurriedly continued: “brother Chi, please don’t golf back. I don’t know how to repay the kindness of saving my life. It’s just a simple cooking skill, and little effort.” In the middle of his speech, the fragrant rabbit has been handed to him neatly. Yan Feichi was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously took it, and stubbornly finished the last word, “really.”

Really straight forward.

After Yan Feichi took it, he really demonstrated much better barbecue skills than An Yan, intensifying the flavours.

His movements were pleasing to the eye and confident. While shaking his hands and sprinkling spices, he continued to talk with Yuan Buwei.

Yan Feichi is worthy of being a young master who had an extensive network of friends, he can talk about the major events in the Jianghu from south to north. He also chatted about a lot of interesting things about the escort bureau. Contrary to expectations he was erudite, cultured and knowledgeable.

After talking about what he had seen and heard, he seemed to think of something. His handsome and beautiful face showed a touch of chagrin, and said with some embarrassment:

“I almost forgot. Brother Chi is the most magnificent person I’ve ever seen, you must have learned from an extraordinary teacher. I’m afraid these Jianghu secrets are nothing to you. Instead, I was simply showing off, brother Chi don’t laugh.”

“No.” Yuan Buwei shook his head.

He seemed to recall something: “Brother Yan misunderstood. I have no teacher and I am dependent on my mother. My mother suffers from brain disease that will attack from time to time. Fortunately, the family business is still rich, and there are one or two loyal servants left by the elders. Although I am young, I have to take care of the family business and can barely feed the family.”

Hearing this, Yan Feichi was stunned and saw Chi Jianxue who had been a little aloof from the beginning to the end, sighed with melancholy.

He seems to have changed from god to man in a flash.

This sigh immediately shortened the distance between the two of them. Even Yan Feichi, who was still cautious, couldn’t help being infected by it, and had no doubts about his words.

“As for my father, I heard that he was muddled and coaxed by a woman to give up his future for her, abandon his wife and son, and leave with nothing. Now I don’t know where in the Jianghu he is, wandering with a single sword.”

TN: So I actually feel the name “Jiangnan Escort Bureau” might be a bit of a mouthful like maybe I should have called them a bodyguard service or something similar, but at the same time I’ve come too far now, so the name is sticking (It’s used so often QAQ).
