After Transmigrating to the Modern Era, the Metaphysics Master Dazzles the World – Chapter 138

Chapter 138: But, Fu Ziqi Appeared

The Yan Family is the number one aristocratic family in the Ancient Martial World, with only a few members in the direct lineage, but numerous branches.

The Yan Family, like the Fu Family, also has a group of Clan Elders.

However, the elders of the Yan Family are not like the Clan Elders of the Fu Family, who are long-winded, meddlesome, want to interfere in everything, and yet have no real ability.

Take the Grand Elder of the Yan Family, for example, he’s a Heaven Rank Master.

But the Grand Elder is old, and in recent years, there haven’t been many occasions that required fighting, so he hasn’t been fighting as much. Perhaps because of this free time, he and a few others have set their sights on Yan Jiuxian’s marriage.

Who made Yan Jiuxian the Young Master of the Yan Family, yet he remains detached and indifferent?

In the words of these elders: Yan Jiuxian’s father already had Yan Jiuxian at his age.

Yan Jiuxian, on the other hand, is just like Tan Xi, that mundane monk, having lived for more than twenty years without even a hint of a romantic relationship, let alone a childhood sweetheart!

How could they not be anxious?

So, the Grand Elder secretly revealed the matter of the “Heaven-decreed Marriage” to the Fu Family.

Yan Zhaoming could probably guess what the Grand Elder was thinking.

If they really wanted to find a woman in the Ancient Martial World who was on par with Yan Jiuxian, it would be difficult!

Looking at the entire Ancient Martial World, there are basically no women who can match the Young Master of the Yan Family. Lowering the standards a bit, Du Gu Yue from the Du Gu Family has outstanding medical skills and a benevolent heart, with a good reputation, so she counts as one. Fu Qiongshuang has a strong momentum among the younger generation, already at the Late Stage of the Profound Rank at only twenty years old, with a promising future, and there’s also Old Master Du’s fate reading. The only shortcoming might be that she comes from the Fu Family, which is not very good in any aspect. Besides these two, there are a few others, but considering various aspects, none of them are as suitable as these two.

In addition, many years ago, the elder of the Du Family, who is no longer alive and whose abilities were far superior to Old Master Du, calculated after many days that Yan Jiuxian had a Heaven-decreed Marriage with a daughter of the Fu Family.

At that time, the Fu Family didn’t have any daughters yet, and Yan Jiuxian was only two or three years old. The elders of the Yan Family felt that since nothing was certain, they shouldn’t use fate or destiny to restrict Yan Jiuxian, as long as there was fate, it would be fine.

Who knew that Yan Jiuxian could remain single for so long…

In ancient times, Yan Jiuxian would be the future emperor. If the emperor doesn’t marry a concubine, the next generation is at risk, so how could others not be anxious?

Yan Zhaoming reckoned that the Grand Elder should be quite satisfied with Fu Qiongshuang, otherwise, he wouldn’t have revealed this matter to the Fu Family.

So, Fu Qiongshuang probably has some thoughts in her heart.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhaoming felt a headache coming on.

He had to admit that although his Little Granduncle always remained detached and indifferent, more suited to becoming a monk than Tan Xi, his popularity with women… was not diminished by his coldness and aloofness at all.

Didn’t you see how many women reacted like dogs seeing a bone when they smelled Yan Jiuxian’s scent?

When Fu Qiongshuang came out, Yan Zhaoming clearly caught the flash of disappointment in her eyes.

It was even more awkward, wasn’t it?

He should have just dropped Fu Yu off from afar and let him walk back a bit.

But thinking this, Yan Zhaoming still nodded politely to Fu Qiongshuang and greeted her: “Eldest Miss Fu.”

Fu Qiongshuang nodded, “Young Master Zhaoming.”

Fu Qiongshuang looked at Fu Yu and didn’t forget that Fu Yu was taken away by Fu Ziqi. She paused, “Why is Young Master Zhaoming with my younger brother?”

Yan Zhaoming’s mouth was faster than his brain: “Oh, Fu Ziqi didn’t have time, so she asked me to send him back.”

Fu Qiongshuang’s eyes flickered, “Fu Ziqi? Oh, so that’s how it is. But I wonder, when did Young Master Zhaoming become so familiar with Ziqi?”

Yan Zhaoming wasn’t very good at dealing with women – Fu Ziqi, who only knew how to order people around and beat them up, didn’t count as a woman!

“Cough, well, Fu Ziqi and I have always been friends.”

Fu Qiongshuang’s eyebrows twitched slightly, “No wonder. I just remembered, I heard my father and mother mention that the last time Xiaoyu was unwell, Ziqi forcibly drove Miss Du Gu Xing away, and Young Master Zhaoming was also there.”

Yan Zhaoming replied awkwardly, “Ah, yes. Eldest Miss Fu wasn’t there last time.”

✿✿✿

Fu Qiongshuang lowered her eyes, thinking of holding Fu Yu’s hand, but in the next second, Fu Yu subtly dodged it.

Fu Qiongshuang was stunned for a moment, then acted as if nothing had happened.

She looked at Yan Zhaoming, “Thank you, Young Master Zhaoming, for sending Xiaoyu back today.”

Yan Zhaoming: “It’s nothing, I was on my way, I just happened to be going home.”

Fu Qiongshuang: “…Young Master Yan, how is he lately?”

“Little Granduncle is doing well.”

Yan Zhaoming thought to himself as he answered, “Oh shit, here it comes, it’s finally here. How should he answer this?”

It wasn’t that he was overthinking it, but he knew that his Little Granduncle really wasn’t interested in this Eldest Miss Fu.

For so many years, the number of times Yan Jiuxian had seen Fu Qiongshuang could be counted on one hand, and Yan Jiuxian had never paid special attention to her.

However, it might not be the same in Fu Qiongshuang’s eyes.

Yan Zhaoming could only sigh at this unrequited love.

He didn’t have any particular feelings for Fu Qiongshuang, after all, he didn’t know her very well, he only knew that she had good talent and was very hardworking, which is why she was able to break through frequently.

Before Fu Ziqi appeared, Yan Zhaoming had fantasized about whether Yan Jiuxian would ever find love. If there really was a possibility, Fu Qiongshuang, the subject of this “Heaven-decreed Marriage”, seemed to be a good choice.

Of course, now Fu Ziqi has appeared, hasn’t she?

He couldn’t imagine anyone trying to steal Fu Ziqi from him.

As for Fu Qiongshuang, after hearing Yan Zhaoming’s answer, although she was a little disappointed that she couldn’t learn much from him, she still had her own pride in addition to her liking for Young Master Yan, and she couldn’t bring herself to ask for more details.

So she could only nod, “That’s good.”

Yan Zhaoming just wanted to leave quickly: “Then I’ll be going?”

“Okay, I’ll see you out.”

Yan Zhaoming patted Fu Yu’s head, “Remember what Fu Ziqi said to you today, don’t disappoint her, she really hurts when she hits people!”

Fu Yu’s eyes were clear and bright, he nodded firmly: “I know!”

Fu Qiongshuang watched this scene and pursed her lips.

Then she saw Yan Zhaoming out the door.

“Young Master Zhaoming.” Fu Qiongshuang hesitated for a moment, but still called out to him, “There are some things I didn’t want to say, but after thinking about it, I’ve decided to speak up.”

Yan Zhaoming thought: This doesn’t sound like it’s going to be anything good.

Fu Qiongshuang: “It’s about Ziqi. Although Ziqi is my twin sister, she grew up in the mundane world and doesn’t understand the matters of our Ancient Martial World, and… Miss Du Gu Xing has mentioned some of Ziqi’s less than desirable behaviors on several occasions. Although Ziqi is my sister, I still want to advise Young Master Zhaoming that, like last time, indiscriminately helping Ziqi and stopping Miss Du Gu Xing, disregarding Xiaoyu’s life and death, is still…”
