Although he was smiling, that smile did not reach his eyes, let alone his heart.
While they were chatting, Shan Fengyang's only daughter, Shan Yuzhen, who was the younger sister of the three Shan brothers, rushed over after hearing the news that Shan Kefan had returned.
Shan Yuzhen had just turned fifteen and had recently come of age.
At this age, she was a stunning beauty. Her skin was fair and smooth, and her figure was curvaceous, making her a delight to behold.
She saw Jichen Shan and Shan Yunbin every day, so there was nothing new about them for her.
However, it was different with Shan Kefan. She had missed her third brother very much after not seeing him for more than two years.
As soon as she spotted Shan Kefan, she hurried over and grabbed his arm, saying, "Third Brother, why did you take so long to come back?"
Shan Kefan smiled slightly and replied, "Because I was looking for herbs! It’s been two years since we last met; my precious Zhen has grown into a young lady."
"Third Brother, I was already grown up!"
"Hahaha..." As soon as she finished speaking, the others around them burst into laughter without holding back.
Seeing them laugh at her, Shan Yuzhen's face turned slightly red with embarrassment. She buried her face in Shan Kefan's embrace and indignantly said, "Hmph! I won't talk to you anymore."
No one knows a daughter better than her father. Understanding his beloved daughter, Shan Fengyang quickly stepped in to ease the situation.
He slowly said, "By the way, Fan'er, I heard you brought back a few friends. Why don’t you introduce them to your father?"
"Dad, it’s better if you don’t meet them."
"Oh? Why not?"
"Because they are not ordinary people, and I may not necessarily be able to become friends with them."
After hearing his words, Shan Fengyang felt very puzzled and immediately said, "What exactly is going on? Who are these people? You need to explain it to me clearly."
Shan Kefan glanced around the hall and noticed that there were still many servants present.
His brows furrowed slightly as he thought: The martial arts conference is just two days away, and many Martial Artists have already arrived at the villa, including some skilled ones. If we discuss this here, it would be easy for others to overhear.
Thus, he said to Shan Fengyang, "Father, shall we talk in the secret chamber?"
Upon hearing this, Shan Fengyang understood that this matter was serious and nodded lightly, saying, "Alright, let's go! Follow me."
After saying this, he led Shan Kefan out of the hall and into the secret chamber of Wind Thunder Villa.
Shan Yunbin and Jichen Shan could not follow them into the secret chamber due to the presence of many guests in the villa; they had to stay above to attend to those guests.
Once in the secret chamber, Shan Kefan detailed everything that had happened since he encountered Luo Bingbing to Shan Fengyang, including their martial arts skills and Murong Shang's identity, as well as his own speculations.
After listening, Shan Fengyang tilted his head slightly in thought and said to his son, "Fan'er, since they don't want others to know their identities, we will keep their secrets well. We should also secretly send people to protect them; we must ensure nothing goes wrong for them while they are at Wind Thunder Villa. They are here under the guise of leisure, so we will treat them well. However, we must also remain vigilant about them; after all, only they know their true intentions."
"Yes, Father, I understand."
Then Shan Fengyang inquired about his son's situation over the past two years, and Shan Kefan began to share his experiences.
While the two were casually chatting in the secret chamber, a commotion arose in Siyuan Pavilion due to An Ruo Ran's green demonic eye.
With so many people around, news spread quickly. Before long, everyone in Wind Thunder Villa knew that someone with a green demonic eye was staying in Siyuan Pavilion.
As Luo Bingbing stepped down from the carriage and entered the villa, someone noticed her and quickly sent a message to Dongfang Hao, who was still searching for her at Zhi Jijia.
Upon receiving the news, Dongfang Hao was initially very happy, but when he saw that the Little One had appeared at Wind Thunder Villa with Murong Shang, he became extremely angry.
He immediately overturned a vat of jealousy and quickly took Ye Feng and the others, riding fast horses towards Wind Thunder Villa.
Murong Shang was alone in the guest room, feeling slightly restless, so he walked out of the room.
Inside Siyuan Pavilion, there was a small artificial lake, and right by the lake stood a pavilion. Murong Shang went directly to that pavilion to enjoy watching the fish.
After Shan Kefan and his son left the hall, Shan Yunbin's three siblings also left in succession. When Shan Yuzhen returned to her courtyard, she heard her Personal Maid say, "A woman with green demon eyes has arrived at Siyuan Pavilion."
The legendary Demon's Child; she had never seen one before!
Thus, she immediately became very interested in An Ruo Ran, who possessed green demon eyes, and then took her Personal Maid to Siyuan Pavilion.
From a distance, she saw a man sitting in the pavilion by the lake.
At first, she didn't pay much attention. However, as she got closer, she realized that he was an exceptionally handsome young man.
The man sat sideways on a stone bench with long hair cascading down to his waist, casually draped behind him. His eyebrows were elegantly arched, his nose was high and straight, and his lightly tinted lips were as red as if brushed with rouge—his beauty was captivating enough to topple nations.
Because Murong Shang was currently wearing a crescent white brocade robe, he looked somewhat like an immortal who had fallen into the mortal realm.
However, it was precisely because of this that Shan Yuzhen became infatuated with him.
Murong Shang sat quietly in the pavilion, pondering how to approach those Martial Artists. Suddenly, he felt a blazing light behind him locking onto him.
He slightly turned his head to take a look, only to see a strange woman with her maid. With just one glance, he quickly averted his gaze.
When Shan Yuzhen saw him glance at her, her heart raced, and her face involuntarily flushed.
Filled with joy and excitement, she automatically overlooked Murong Shang's expression as he turned away.
She gracefully stepped into the Pavilion and softly spoke to Murong Shang, "Young Master, why are you here alone enjoying the view?"
Hearing her words, Murong Shang didn't even lift his eyes, let alone respond to her.
Seeing that this extraordinarily handsome man showed no intention of acknowledging her, Shan Yuzhen felt a bit embarrassed but didn't dare to reprimand Murong Shang.
At that moment, her concerned maid spoke up to Murong Shang, "Hey, my young lady is asking you a question! Why aren't you answering?"
After hearing her words, Murong Shang still showed no reaction whatsoever.
Shan Yuzhen's maid waited for a long time but saw that the man in front of them remained silent. She then spoke again, "Hey, are you deaf?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Murong Shang slightly raised his head and looked at her with a deadpan expression. Coldly, he said, "You are the first person daring enough to speak to me like that, and you will be the last."
After saying this, he swiftly moved in front of the maid and grabbed her neck with one hand.
Due to his incredible speed, Shan Yuzhen and her Personal Maid hadn't even reacted before he had already seized the maid's throat.
At this moment, both of them began to feel fear…
Seeing that her maid was almost unable to breathe, Shan Yuzhen hurriedly said to Murong Shang, "Young Master, please spare Lan'er! She has realized her mistake."
Murong Shang showed no intention of acknowledging her words, and the hand gripping his neck continued to tighten slowly.
"Hey, what play is this?"
Suddenly hearing that cold voice, both Murong Shang and Shan Yuzhen paused slightly. They turned to see Luo Bingbing and Mink walking slowly toward the Pavilion.
As soon as Murong Shang saw Luo Bingbing, a faint smile appeared on his face.
He looked intently at the Little One and said, "Bing, you’re here."
"I said, Murong Shang, if you want to kill someone, you should find a secluded place! I still want to enjoy the flowers and moon here in the Pavilion! You're just trying to ruin my mood!"
Upon seeing Luo Bingbing's angelic face, Shan Yuzhen couldn't help but feel a shock; she thought a celestial being had descended! She secretly thought: Now, Lan'er is saved.
However, Luo Bingbing's words instantly shattered her hopeful thoughts.
"I’ve disturbed Bing’s enjoyment; Shang really shouldn’t have."
That brief statement was enough to plunge Shan Yuzhen's mood to rock bottom.
Comparing Murong Shang's attitude towards her with his attitude towards the Little One before him, she realized that he cared deeply for the Little One.
"Junior Sister, Aunt Ran, where are you?"
Upon hearing that voice, Luo Bingbing and An Ruo Ran knew it was Su Yan. They couldn't help but think to themselves: "The news travels really fast!"
After Luo Bingbing nodded at An Ruo Ran, An Ruo Ran shouted loudly toward the entrance of Siyuan Pavilion, "Yan'er, we are over here in the Pavilion!"
Su Yan hurriedly ran towards the Pavilion after hearing the news. As she ran, she shouted loudly, "Haha, little junior sister, Aunt Ran, I finally found you!"
Seeing her rush over, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "Senior sister, you're already in your prime; why are you still charging around like this?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yan quickly stopped and walked over to Luo Bingbing's side, feeling a bit embarrassed as she replied, "Hehe! Little junior sister, I just got excited when I saw you!"
"Senior sister, aren't you going to introduce the tailgater behind you?"
"Oh him! Just a smelly man, nothing much to introduce. His name is Jichen Shan."
Although Luo Bingbing hadn't seen Su Yan for three years, she was well aware of her situation since Su Yan's influence had spread throughout the world. Every day, she could see updates about Su Yan in the news.
Even though Su Yan was nearly twenty years old, thanks to the pills made from the fruits of the Six Treasure Tree that Luo Bingbing had given her, her appearance had remained that of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl; she hadn't aged at all.
As a result, she had been enjoying her time traveling and exploring without getting married.
However, ever since she met Jichen Shan two years ago, he had begun his pursuit of her, and they planned to get married after this martial arts conference.
At that moment, Jichen Shan entered everyone's line of sight. Consequently, everyone turned their attention to him, including Murong Shang.
He was particularly interested in anyone related to Luo Bingbing because these individuals could serve as a "bridge" for him to get closer to her.
Since it was Su Yan's first visit to Wind Thunder Villa and Shan Yuzhen had never seen her before, she didn't realize that Su Yan was about to become her second brother's wife.
Thus, she didn't call for help. However, when she saw Jichen Shan approaching, she immediately shouted loudly, "Second brother, help me!"
Hearing her voice, Su Yan then noticed that there were indeed three strange individuals in the Pavilion.
After scanning the three of them one by one, she couldn't help but ask her companion, Luo Bingbing, "Junior Sister, who are these people?"
"They're just insignificant people," Luo Bingbing replied.
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, Su Yan lightly said "oh" and fell silent.
Meanwhile, in the distance, Jichen Shan was walking slowly when he suddenly heard his sister calling for help. He quickly used his Lightness Skill to rush towards the sound.
He swiftly moved to Shan Yuzhen's side and saw Murong Shang gripping the maid Xiaolan's neck with one hand, which made him understand why his sister was calling for help.
Thus, he respectfully bowed to Murong Shang and said, "I am Jichen Shan, the second son of Wind Thunder Villa. The maid in my household has acted thoughtlessly and offended you. I apologize on her behalf. May I ask if you could release her and let Wind Thunder Villa handle the matter?"
Not to mention that Murong Shang was now an emperor; even when he was still a prince, he would not heed the commands of a commoner.
So he chose to ignore Jichen Shan completely.
Seeing that Murong Shang disregarded Jichen Shan, Su Yan became angry. In her words, Jichen Shan could only be bullied by her; no one else was allowed to do so.
"Hey, Ice Block, what kind of attitude is that?"
