Behind her, two guards in black stood, their auras calm and restrained, as still as a mountain.
Jiang Fan hesitated for a moment and walked over.
But just as their footsteps started to move together, the two guards in black took half a step forward at the same time.
One of them had his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, his face full of vigilance.
He Xiyan saw this and quickly spoke.
"Don't be nervous, he is my friend!"
The two guards looked at each other after hearing this, and then each took half a step away, but their eyes were still fixed on Jiang Fan.
It seems that if he makes even the slightest move, he will take action without hesitation.
Jiang Fan looked calm, walked to Willow Tree, and stopped in front of He Xiyan.
"Miss He, what a coincidence!"
He Xiyan saw him coming, and the smile on his face became a little thicker.
"Yes, what a coincidence!"
"I'm getting ready to go to the Daoist Canon Pavilion!"
She tilted her head and said in a brisk tone.
"Jiang Fan, why haven't you been to the Daoist Canon Pavilion these days?"
Jiang Fan Road.
"I've had some insights in the past few days, so I've sorted out my insights from the past few days and never let it go!"
Speaking of which, he really hasn't been idle these days.
Ten avenues Dao Seed are sprouting among Dao Foundation, and Nascent Dao is just beginning to take shape, which is when it needs a lot of Dao-Nurturing Force watering.
He locked himself in the courtyard for several days at a time, running the Dao-Nurturing Chapter mental method over and over again, and finally managed to completely stabilize the ten new Dao Intent.
He Xiyan said oh, with a trace of disappointment hidden in his tone.
"That's it. Are you free today? Are you going to the Daoist Canon Pavilion today?"
Jiang Fan thought for a while and shook his head.
"I'm afraid not today, I still have some important things to deal with!"
"I'm new to the capital, and I haven't reported to my post yet. I need to settle these things first!"
He Xiyan is slightly curious.
"Oh?"
"Have you just come to the capital?"
"Which yamen do you work for?"
Jiang Fan was about to answer, but He Xiyan suddenly stuck out his tongue.
"It seems a little rash of me to do this!"
"Grandpa taught me that in the capital, it seems to be a bit taboo to inquire about other people's details at will!"
"I was offended, just pretend I didn't ask!"
Jiang Fan Seeing his appearance, he took back what he was about to blurt out and shook his head slightly.
"It doesn't matter, this is not a confidential matter. Miss He doesn't need to take it to heart!"
He Xiyan smiled slightly.
At this moment, a slightly gloomy male voice suddenly came from the side.
"Cherish the words!"
Jiang Fan looked up and saw a young man in a brocade robe walking along the stone road under the shade of willows.
The man was about in his early twenties, with a slender figure, a handsome face, and the arrogance of a disciple of an aristocratic family between his brows.
Behind him, there were two other boys, three steps behind respectfully.
He Xiyan saw the person coming, and frowned slightly unconsciously, but quickly relaxed and called softly.
"Brother Shaoyang!"
Qin Shaoyang walked closer, his eyes first fell on He Xiyan, and he nodded with a smile.
Then it was natural to turn to Jiang Fan.
His eyes swept up and down, from Jiang Fan's clothes to his waist, and then from his face to his feet, as if he was looking at a product that was put on the shelf from somewhere.
"Xiyan, this is..."
"It looks a little unfamiliar!"
His tone was gentle and polite, but Jiang Fan could easily hear the scrutiny underneath that gentleness.
He Xiyan quickly introduced.
"This is Jiang Fan, a friend I met at the Daoist Canon Pavilion!"
"He also likes to read the fragments and has a deep understanding of them!"
"We have a great chat!"
She looked at Jiang Fan again.
"Jiang Fan, this is Qin Shaoyang, from the Qin Family in the capital, and I am my brother who grew up together!"
Jiang Fan just came to Jing City. I don't know what kind of family the so-called Qin Family and He Family are.
But it sounds like it should be quite powerful.
"Nice to meet you!"
Jiang Fan nodded lightly as a greeting.
Qin Shaoyang did not reveal this, but raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile.
"It turns out to be Brother Jiang!"
"I wonder which house Brother Jiang belongs to in our capital? He looks a bit unfamiliar!"
Jiang Fan looks as usual.
"None of that!"
Qin Shaoyang's tone seems casual.
"Oh?"
"Who is Brother Jiang from? What is your occupation in the capital?"
He asked in an extremely natural manner, as if he was concerned about his friends' social circle.
But Jiang Fan could see that Mr. Qin was checking his details.
This method of interrogation is not very clever, it can even be said to be undisguised.
"It's just that because of his status as Scions of Noble Families, he naturally assumes a condescending posture!"
Jiang Fan doesn't want to cause trouble, but he also won't be coy in front of others.
He raised his head, met Qin Shaoyang's eyes, and said calmly.
"Where I am from and what I do seems to have nothing to do with you, right?"
"Could it be that you are the director of Ministry of Revenue, who specializes in population registration?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Do you know what you are talking about?"
The smile on Qin Shaoyang's face instantly faded.
Instead, there was an extremely gloomy ashen state.
Seeing the sudden change in the situation on the court and the strange atmosphere, He Xiyan, even though he was simple, saw the problem.
She hurriedly walked a few steps and came to the middle of a few people, her tone a bit helpless and anxious.
"Brother Shaoyang, Jiang Fan is a friend I met at the Daoist Canon Pavilion!"
"Don't embarrass him!"
She said and turned to Jiang Fan.
"Jiang Fan, Brother Shaoyang doesn't mean any harm!"
"I've been like this since I was a child. I like to worry about everything!"
Jiang Fan glanced at He Xiyan and saw her frowning slightly and looking embarrassed. She sighed in her heart and didn't plan to worry about it any more.
He raised his hand towards He Xiyan.
"Miss He, since you still have something to do, I'll take my leave first!"
"When I go back to the Daoist Canon Pavilion when I have time, we will talk again!"
After saying that, without waiting for He Xiyan to reply, he walked straight away.
He Xiyan opened his mouth, wanting to persuade him to stay, but he didn't know what to say.
When Jiang Fan's back disappeared at the street corner, He Xiyan turned around and gave Qin Shaoyang an angry look.
"Brother Shaoyang, what are you doing?"
"It's not easy for me to meet someone I can talk to, but you just make that person angry and leave!"
"So annoying!"
Qin Shaoyang Seeing that she was angry, he quickly lowered his posture and coaxed with a smile.
"Aren't I worried about you?"
"You said that you, a girl, are so close to a man of unknown origin. If word spreads about it, it will be bad for your reputation!"
He Xiyan pouted.
"I know you have good intentions, but if you interrogate people like that, anyone else would be unhappy!"
Qin Shaoyang said helplessly.
"You are the eldest lady of the capital He Family, and there are countless people who want to cling to you!"
"What if you don't ask clearly and you are taken advantage of by some people with ill intentions?"
