For a moment, Ding Shengnan's mind went blank.
Her Third Aunt has always been virtuous and faithful, and she is especially loyal in her relationships.
Otherwise, I wouldn't still be all alone now.
She even threatened suicide when her grandfather arranged a marriage for her.
Although she knew that her Third Aunt had someone in her heart, and she had asked her about it, she didn't know the specifics because of her grandfather's instructions.
But now, what did she see?
Jiang Cheng was actually behaving so intimately with her Third Aunt.
Ding Shengnan's mouth formed an "O" shape as a somewhat immature idea came to her mind.
Could Jiang Cheng be that person?
Snap!
She gently slapped Ding Shengnan's cheek, and Ding Shengnan shook her head like a rattle drum.
"Impossible, the age difference is too big."
"When her Third Aunt was young, Jiang Cheng was just a little kid running around naked."
"A person should at least not..."
As she finished speaking, Ding Shengnan's tone gradually weakened, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.
Perhaps her Third Aunt likes playing... the nurturing/raising game?
Raising them from a young age to adulthood seems a bit stimulating.
"Hmm? No, if that were the case, Grandpa would have kicked Jiang Cheng out long ago."
Ding Shengnan snorted, banishing the unrealistic ideas from her mind.
"I should have called Xiao Yan'er out to see what was going on earlier, but it's too late now."
Meanwhile, in the Pavilion.
Xiangyu gradually came to her senses, realized her lapse in composure, and apologized.
Jiang Cheng shook his head. It's just human nature.
"What... did he say at the end?"
Xiangyu took a few deep breaths, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Feng Lao asked me to bring you this Sachet to thank you for saving my life back then."
Jiang Cheng continued, "Then go to Jiming Mountain in the Southwest and visit a Lonely Grave halfway up the mountain."
Upon hearing this, Xiangyu gave a bitter smile, her eyes filled with desolation.
Lost in thought, she murmured, "So, in your heart, I'm just your savior?"
"However, in some ways, we really are the same kind of people..."
"Third Aunt, what exactly happened to Feng Lao?" Jiang Cheng asked, voicing his doubts.
He originally thought that Feng Lao an old man in his sixties.
But now it seems that his real age should be the same as Xiangyu's, only in his forties.
A hint of reminiscence flashed in Xiangyu's eyes as she slowly began to recount her story.
Back then, a rising star emerged in the martial arts world of Southwest.
He was only twenty years old when he was already Half-step Grandmaster.
Since he had no background and was all alone, all the prestigious families in the Southwest extended olive branches to him.
Even people in Capital have begun to appreciate his talent.
This person is Feng Chunyu!
Faced with such a genius, the Ding family naturally took action as well.
That's when we met...
Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauties, and beauties are no different.
At that time, in order to win over Feng Chunyu, many daughters of noble families were willing to offer themselves to him.
Unexpectedly, he rejected them all.
Later I learned that he already had someone he loved, a young lady from a second-rate family.
They were in love with each other.
But the good times didn't last long. Now, the younger brother of the Feng Family patriarch, the Second Master Feng, has taken a fancy to that woman.
Back then, the second most outstanding talent in the Southwest after Feng Chunyu was the Second Master Feng That One.
But at that time, Feng Chunyu was too dazzling, all the spotlight was on him, so who would pay attention to the second one?
Anyone with eyes can see that the Second Master Feng did this deliberately out of jealousy.
Otherwise, how could a woman with a vastly different family background and average looks possibly attract his attention?
Even knowing this, that family had no other choice.
One was a genius who hadn't yet reached his full potential, and the other was the young master of the Southwest Feng Family; they had no choice but to submit.
Unexpectedly, the woman, with her strong personality, committed suicide at home.
When Feng Chunyu emerged from seclusion, he found a cold corpse.
That very night, while the Second Master Feng was out enjoying himself, they killed him...
"I see." Jiang Cheng sighed softly.
What followed was nothing more than Feng Lao being hunted down by the Feng Family, Xiangyu secretly coming to his rescue.
They fabricated the news that Feng Lao had faked his death, which allowed him to escape a calamity.
As for the Lonely Grave on Jiming Mountain, it should unsurprisingly belong to That One young lady from the family.
Unexpectedly, Feng Lao is quite the romantic!
"Third Aunt, I brought Feng Lao's urn. Would you like it...?"
Before Jiang Cheng could finish speaking, Xiangyu shook her head.
"No need, it would only cause more trouble."
"You plan to bury his ashes at Jiming Mountain, don't you?"
Noticing the complex emotions in Xiangyu's eyes, Jiang Cheng didn't hide anything and nodded.
Feng Lao had passed on his skills to him, and he had originally planned to find an opportunity to visit the Southwest so that Feng Lao could return to his roots.
"He'll probably be very happy."
Xiangyu looked up at the dark night sky and murmured to herself, "I want to be alone."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng turned and left.
Ding Shengnan quickly hid nearby.
It wasn't until Jiang Cheng's figure disappeared around the corner that they realized what had happened.
"Wait a minute, this is my house, why would I feel guilty?"
After muttering a few words under her breath, Ding Shengnan walked out openly.
He glanced at Xiangyu in the Pavilion and made up his mind.
"We can't hesitate any longer; we'll start implementing the plan tomorrow."
On the other side, as soon as Jiang Cheng pushed open the door, he keenly sensed that there was someone on the bed.
He knew who it was without even thinking.
I walked quietly to the bedside and turned on the warm yellow wall lamp.
"This girl, she even sleeps with a blanket between her legs."
Seeing Qin Yan revealing a large expanse of her body, her long, slender legs still tightly wrapped around the blanket.
Jiang Cheng's face darkened.
"Hehe~ Little man, I've got you."
Qin Yan tilted her head to the side, drool dripping from the corner of her mouth, wetting the pillow.
Jiang Cheng sighed, his expression slightly helpless.
He carefully pulled the blanket out and covered Qin Yan with it.
At this moment, Qin Yan opened her eyes in a daze and gradually came to her senses.
The two stared at each other, their eyes meeting.
The next second, Qin Yan pounced on her.
She wrapped her arms around Jiang Cheng's neck, her long, beautiful legs draped around his waist and hips, clinging to him like a koala.
She blinked her eyes and pouted her red lips, saying...
"Jiang Cheng, you're finally back! Where have you been?"
"Get down first, or you'll catch a cold."
Jiang Cheng glanced at Qin Yan's naked and alluring body and said irritably.
Fortunately, after so much training, his willpower has been greatly enhanced.
Otherwise, who could possibly resist?!
No!
Qin Yan cupped Jiang Cheng's face in her hands, looking pitiful.
"Sigh, you know I'm more responsive to gentle persuasion than force, so you've got me figured out."
As he helped Qin Yan onto the bed, Jiang Cheng said helplessly.
"It's okay, you can have the soft one, I like the hard one the most."
A sly glint appeared in Qin Yan's eyes as she pressed her pretty face against Jiang Cheng's and said very seriously.
Jiang Cheng:...
This girl, she can just spout these words so easily now, it's really catching people off guard.
This won't do; it must be corrected sternly!
