Chapter 146: The Coming of Evil
As he thought of this, Wu Yeru's spirit shook, and a rare sense of excitement rose from the bottom of his heart. He raised his wine cup with a smile towards Sun Yutang, who was eating fruit, and said: "Brother Yutang is indeed worthy of being a noble son, every move reveals elegance, just watching him makes me feel ashamed, I'd rather yield to you, come! Let me toast Brother Yutang for a cup!"
"Night Rain's words are mere courtesy, Yu Tang is just putting on a show, what elegance can be said of him? How can he compare to my younger brother's true nature? Come, let us two share this cup!" Sun Yu Tang listened to Wu Ye Yu's flattering words, his eyes narrowing into a slit, but he didn't become overly pleased, instead hurriedly showing humility and also praising Wu Ye Yu. If Wu Ye Yu hadn't used detective techniques to investigate this person's detailed information, he really would have thought that the person in front of him was an excellent young master from a good family with good manners. Who could have imagined that behind his back, he was actually a ruthless killer?
Xiao Tao held the wine jug and waited on the side, pouring wine for the two of them at the right time. She was very curious about Young Master's behavior today, her big eyes staring at Wu Ye Yu without stopping, thinking to herself that Young Master had suddenly changed into a different person, and had even learned to flatter others. However, she also knew that this wasn't the time for her to be presumptuous, so she could only stand by with her doubts, looking lovely and demure.
After Sun Yutang swallowed the wine, he turned his head to look at Wu Yeran, sizing him up with a somewhat brazen and unbridled gaze. Wu Yeran felt a bit perplexed, wondering if his previous actions had been inappropriate. Only then did Sun Yutang say with a hint of a smile: "Actually, I've long heard of Night Rain's great name. Back in Zhongzhou, many friends told me about your exploits. Hehehe... truly worthy of my admiration! Who would have thought that you'd actually be willing to do it for the Wen family?"
"Sun Shao~! Haha~! How did you end up hiding over there? Was everyone's toast a bit too much for you, Sun Shao? Can't handle the wine? Haha~!" Just as Sun Yutang was about to continue speaking, a loud teasing voice came from the dining hall, causing everyone to burst into laughter. The speaker was none other than Wu Renyu, the eldest of the Wu family, who directly interrupted Sun's words.
Sun Yutang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly displeased at being interrupted, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded apologetically towards Wu Yeran. He smiled as he stood up, bowed to the surrounding crowd, and said in a loud voice: "Haha... Renyu was right, I just got up to toast earlier, but after chatting with Yeyu for a few words, I found that we had a lot in common, so I sat down here..."
Wu Yeyu felt a surge of disgust after hearing this guy's words, thinking to himself: "Still talking about being kindred spirits? You're just a big old thing, I'd rather be kind to myself! With this ability, I might as well eat more and look at pretty girls instead."
At this point, Wu Yeru subconsciously turned his head to glance at the two beauties of Jiuyue Zong. Zuoxin Ya's eyes were shining with a hint of admiration as she gazed at Sun Yutang, who was standing beside her and talking eloquently, clearly enchanted by his superficial skills and harboring a crush on him.
At that moment, Lin Yushi was looking at herself, coincidentally meeting her own gaze. The latter slightly froze but didn't show any embarrassment after being discovered, instead raising her wine cup in a distant toast. She then drank the wine in one swift motion, displaying a heroic and elegant demeanor that was quite impressive. Wu Yeyu couldn't back down at this moment, so she smiled faintly and tilted her head to finish the wine in her cup.
Wu Renyu slowly walked over, saying with a smile: "Hehehe~ I didn't expect that Young Master Sun would get along so well with my younger brother. I don't know what you were just discussing, but my younger brother is still young and doesn't understand etiquette. If he accidentally offended Young Master Sun just now, please don't mind it, I'll apologize on his behalf."
What he said sounded good, but when Wu Renyu walked over and looked at Sun Shao, he had a smiling face, but when his gaze turned to himself, it was with a hint of warning and threat. It seemed that he had finally managed to curry favor with the Sun family's big shot, and didn't want his own efforts to be in vain for someone else, even if it was a family member, yet Wu Yeru didn't have such intentions at all.
Wu Yeyu naturally expressed disdain, thinking that this Wu Lao Da was too looking down on himself, and also took himself too lightly, thinking that if others didn't have other purposes, they would look up to him?
Wu Ye Yu tilted her head at this time, with a hint of playfulness on her face as she watched Wu Ren Yu approach, the corners of her mouth gradually curving upwards.
Sun Yutang, as a member of the aristocracy who has been through thick and thin, naturally understood the meaning behind Wu Renyu's words. He smiled and said: "Renyu, you're wrong this time. I think Ye Yu is not only polite and courteous, but also has a carefree and uninhibited spirit in his every move, without any pretence. Compared to me, he's even more genuine and worthy of admiration. He's indeed a rare good friend."
After hearing Sun Yutang's words, Wu Yeran raised an eyebrow, knowing that he was adding fuel to the fire, wanting Wu Lao Da and Er to first harbor malicious intentions towards him, even destroying the harmony within the Wu family...
As it turned out, those two fools really took the bait. Whether it was Wu Lao Er, who was still toasting from a distance, or Wu Lao Da, who had already walked over, the gaze they directed at him now carried a warning and a hint of jealousy, which they could hardly conceal.
"Oh? I didn't expect my younger brother to have such ability, able to win the praise of Young Master Sun. This makes me, as his older brother, even more curious. Night Rain is usually not diligent in his studies, has a weak temperament, and doesn't like to cultivate... what kind of words could he have spoken to receive such high praise from you, Young Master Sun?"
Wu Ruyu then came to Wu Yeyu's table, first inviting Sun Yutang, who also sat down with the momentum. Then, Old Master Wu also sat down and asked, at this time, the eyes of the crowd in the hall were all focused on Wu Yeyu's table, apparently wanting to see how he would answer.
Who would have thought that Wu Ye Yu was too lazy to respond, and instead just looked at Wu Ren Yu with a playful expression on his face, not saying a word.
His face changed instantly, Wu Da Xin thought, this kid actually dared not to answer his words, a face turned black in an instant, and his eyes also revealed a hint of fierce light.
Sun Yutang saw this situation, a pleased expression flashed across his face, and then he came out to mediate, smiling and saying: "Hehehe~ just now I was chatting with Xiaoyu about his own affairs, even when I was in the distant Zhongzhou, I had heard of Xiaoyu's great name, and I also admired his character and behavior. My friends have been envying him for a long time, it's really admirable."
As soon as Sun Yutang's words came out, not only did he help Wu Lao Da get out of the siege, but also successfully attracted everyone's attention again. One by one, they stretched their ears to listen, full of curiosity. Only Wu Renjie's face in the distance showed a worried expression, and when he looked over, his face didn't look good either.
"Sun Shao, stop teasing and just say it already! The seniors in the main hall are all waiting, hurry up and tell us, hahaha!" Wu Renyu, who had been rescued from the siege, also urged him to speak quickly, clearly wanting to know what surprising move could have startled even the Zhongzhou Sun family.
"Hehehe, actually this isn't a secret at all. In some families in our Zhongzhou, it's also common knowledge. Eh, Night Rain little brother doesn't mind, right?" Sun Yutang asked, looking over with an air of pretentiousness.
"Xiao Sun, don't bother with him, just say it directly." Wu Da said with a wave of his hand.
"Well, I'd rather obey than show respect, haha... Speaking of which, the Wen family, one of the top families in the Great Xia Empire!..."
Wu Ye smiled coldly to himself, holding his wine cup, as he listened to Sun Yutang's eloquent words. This guy recounted in detail the story of Wen Xueyue's narrow escape from danger at Qing Shui Town, although some details were undoubtedly unknown to him and could only be glossed over with a flourish of his pen. Nevertheless, relying on his silver tongue, he managed to paint a vivid picture of the budding romance between himself and Xueyue - how they had been separated by life and death, overcome countless hardships, and finally welcomed the dawn of hope...
"It's a pity if this guy doesn't become a storyteller."
