Chapter 692: Sheng Yuanhang Seeks Trouble (3)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After Sun Chan finished speaking, Hua Shifang said, “It’s been a long time since I saw my first disciple. Junior brother, let’s go back.”
Sun Chan nodded, “Yes, senior brother, it’s been a few days since I saw Yanyan. I miss her a bit.”
Seeing them leave, Baize waved them off and then went back to tending the precious herbs in the small garden.
When Nanyan and her companions got off the plane, Fu Yubai looked at Bo Xijue with some excitement and called out, “Senior brother!”
Bo Xijue strode over, gave him a punch on the shoulder, and smiled slightly, “Third junior brother, long time no see.”
Cough
Fu Yubai, unprepared, was pushed back a step by Bo Xijue’s punch, looking extremely aggrieved, “Senior brother, we haven’t seen each other for so many years, and you greet me with a heavy punch. Is this appropriate?”
“This is a way of expressing love. Come on, third junior brother, give senior brother a hug.”
Usually composed, Bo Xijue seemed like a different person in front of his junior brothers, completely dropping his cool demeanor.
Qin Lu felt a bit disillusioned seeing this scene.
“Yanyan, has senior brother always been this amusing?”
“Not exactly…” Nanyan looked a bit helpless too. “Only in front of second and third junior brothers does senior brother act like this. He usually cares a lot about his image. He’s probably just very emotional because we haven’t seen each other for a long time.”
Qin Lu nodded in understanding.
It’s easy to let down your guard and burden only in front of those you completely trust.
This also showed that Nanyan and her fellow disciples shared a genuinely good relationship.
Fortunately, Bo Xijue’s lapse was brief, and he soon returned to normal.
“Where are master and second junior brother?”
Fu Yubai, seeing Bo Xijue return to his usual self, secretly sighed in relief and said, “Master and Uncle Sun are at the Hundred Herb Garden. Second junior brother is restricted from traveling, so he’s in the courtyard. We’ll see him when we get back.”
Bo Xijue nodded slightly, “Let’s go back then. I want to see second junior brother.”
After Fu Yubai acknowledged, he finally had time to greet Nanyan and Qin Lu.
After that, the group headed back to the courtyard.
As for the people sent by Sheng Jing and Sheng Yuanhang, they were spotted as soon as they got off the plane.
There was no need for them to take action because Jiang Sen, who had been secretly protecting the courtyard, captured them smoothly while monitoring the situation.
After Sheng Jing and Sheng Yuanhang lost contact with their informants, they realized they had been exposed.
At the hotel, after confirming that their people had been captured, Chen Fei asked, “Third Young Master, what do we do now? The other side knows we’re here. Should we continue to hide?”
Sheng Jing thought for a moment and then made a decision. “Since Nanyan and the others are back, let’s arrange a time to meet.”
He believed he still had some rapport with Nanyan and the others.
After all, he had always been friendly to them and provided them with many conveniences while they were at the Sheng family.
Although he came to find them under the family’s orders, if he could negotiate a satisfactory deal, perhaps he could persuade them to change their minds.
The Sheng family could offer them far more than society outside could ever provide.
Moreover, he believed that after investigating Hua Shifang and the Divine Physician Sect during this period, he had guessed the reason why Hua Shifang was unwilling to stay with the Sheng family.
Wasn’t it because he cared deeply about the common people and wanted to help those in poverty?
He could have the Sheng family fund the opening of the Divine Physician Sect branches worldwide, offering free medical consultations to the poor.
In this way, Hua Shifang would have no reason to refuse the Sheng family’s offer.
This time, Sheng Jing planned to use a conciliatory approach to recruit them.
If they still didn’t recognize their good intentions, they would have to use forceful means to compel them.
However, he hoped that both sides could reach an agreement peacefully.
Meanwhile, Sheng Yuanhang realized that his people had been captured.
His confidant’s advice was completely opposite to Sheng Jing’s.
“Young Master, we must act quickly. If Third Young Master gets ahead of us, we’ll be at a great disadvantage!”
Sheng Yuanhang was well aware of this.
This was an invisible contest and a test from their grandfather for both him and Sheng Jing.
If he lost to Sheng Jing in this contest, his advantage in their grandfather’s eyes might be surpassed by Sheng Jing.
He couldn’t let Sheng Jing get ahead!
After pondering for a moment, Sheng Yuanhang asked grimly, “How many people do we have in China?”
“More than fifty,” his confidant said confidently. “These fifty men are equipped with the latest combat weapons. Ordinary equipment can’t compare with ours.”
“You don’t even need to show up, Young Master. I can handle this for you!”
