Chapter 186: Looks Familiar

(T/L NOTE: Everyone thank the buyers of {330+} chapters, that you got to read these bonus chapters!)

Although Lin Zhan is not from Yao Ren Valley, Yao Zhi still has to call him senior brother. It has nothing to do with Yao Ren Valley, but because the other party is the son of her biological father’s senior brother.

More than 20 years ago, before her death, Yao Zhi’s mother entrusted her newborn daughter to a beautiful woman, Meng Chunhan.

Yao Zhi’s mother and Meng Chunhan are close friends. They have been friends since they can remember. Yao Zhi’s mother watched her good friend go from being full of vigour and vitality at the beginning to meeting the wrong person and becoming hated by everyone in the end.

Even though Meng Chunhan was not tolerated by the world, Yao Zhi’s mother did not cut off contact with her. Yao Zhi’s mother believed in her own eyes, the handkerchief friend she grew up with, rather than the rumours outside.

In this situation, even though the beautiful woman had become disheartened by the cold eyes of everyone, she still accepted the entrustment of Yao Zhi’s mother, and even promised Yao Zhi’s mother that she would raise her friend’s daughter to adulthood and ensure her lifelong peace.

At that time, Yao Zhi’s mother was already at the end of her strength. Not long after receiving the beautiful woman’s affirmative answer, she passed away. Before her death, Yao Zhi did not leave much to her daughter, only a few things, among which was the jade pendant with double spirit fish.

Because the beautiful woman had been out of touch with worldly affairs for a long time and lived in a daze all day, she did not know the current situation of Yao Zhi’s mother, nor did she know when she got married. She only knew that the jade pendant belonged to Yao Zhi’s father.

At first, the beautiful woman thought that her best friend was just like her, having met a scumbag who was not even by her side when her wife gave birth.

After investigation, it was discovered that Yao Zhi’s father did not deliberately abandon her and her daughter. A few months ago, when he learned that his wife was pregnant, Yao Zhi’s father picked up a sword and died together with his enemies. In this way, Yao Zhi’s mother could live a peaceful life for the next few months.

However, what Yao Zhi’s father didn’t know was that his death had caused his wife great grief. After desperately giving birth to a daughter, she also followed him, and so Yao Zhi became an orphan.

Although Yao Zhi’s mother was unable to raise Yao Zhi herself and was unable to take full responsibility for her, in the end, she did find a reliable master for her.

Although her disciple’s father was not very capable, he was still a man, so the beautiful woman did not have much prejudice against him, and she was not so averse to the disciple’s father’s school.

In addition, as she was the only child who had stayed in the Medicine Valley, she was bound to feel lonely after a long time. So when Yao Zhi grew up a little, the beautiful woman took her to recognize her father and mother’s home.

It was not a big deal to go there, but after knowing what happened afterwards, the beautiful woman regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.

At first the beautiful woman thought that she and her brother were of similar age, so they could play together and practise martial arts together. It would always make her less lonely to have someone to keep her company.

Who knew that bastard looked like a decent person, but in fact he had all sorts of tricks in his mind. When Zhi’er was beginning to fall in love, the beautiful woman even wanted to bring them together, but in the end…

As a result, this bastard kept wavering between Zhi’er and his junior sister, and was never willing to give a definite answer. After a while, the beautiful woman realised something was wrong.

Well, it turns out that this young man looks decent, but he is actually a dishonest person!

The beautiful woman immediately gave up the idea of ​​marrying her to him, but Zhi’er and him grew up together, so they had feelings for each other.

Lin Zhan has not married yet, and Yao Zhi has no intention of getting married either. However, Yao Zhi did not show any rejection of her senior brother. Over time, the beautiful woman and the others misunderstood and thought that Yao Zhi had been waiting for him.

Although Ye Shuo didn’t know the hidden truth, he had a photographic memory after all. Basically, he would not forget anything he had seen.

Especially, the pair of jade pendants with spirit fish had a very unique shape, and Ye Shuo naturally remembered them clearly.

He remembered that when he was seven years old and went out of the palace to be a beggar, he was rescued by a little girl and picked up an identical piece.

In addition, Ye Shuo felt that the beautiful woman’s figure was somewhat familiar from the beginning, and the little girl back then loved to wear red clothes, and now Yao Zhi also likes to wear red clothes, and the ages of the two seem to match…

Could Yao Zhi be the little girl who “saved” him in the dark alley that year?

If this is true, then the young man who has a jade pendant with the same pattern as Yao Zhi must have a very deep connection with her.

The fact that the two people do not have any common genetic characteristics means that the possibility of their blood relationship is low.

Young men and women of similar age who are not related by blood…

Ye Shuo immediately became displeased with the young man in front of him.

However, before Ye Shuo could say anything, Lin Zhan spoke first: “Who are you and why are you here?”

Listening to the tone, those who didn’t know would think that Yaoren Valley was the young man’s home!

“I was just about to ask you, what is your relationship with Yao Zhi?” When facing Lin Zhan, Ye Shuo had a completely different face.

Ye Shuo’s tone was much more natural than Lin Zhan’s. Plus, Ye Shuo was born tall, nine feet tall, almost 1.9 meters tall. Although he didn’t show any bad expression, for some reason, Lin Zhan still felt angry when he was looked at by him.

Lin Zhan was not actually close to Ye Shuo, he was also eight feet tall, a full 1.8 metres, and if he stood outside he could be said to be able to kill anyone in seconds, but if he stood face to face with Ye Shuo, he was not even close enough.

Just as the two were sizing each other up, Yao Zhi vaguely heard some noise outside. She heard that Ye Shuo seemed to be talking to someone, so she subconsciously walked out.

When she saw Lin Zhan, Yao Zhi couldn’t help but be a little surprised: “Brother Lin?”

“Why are you here?”

Senior Brother Lin? Lin Zhan?

Did he run into that young man?

Now, even Huo Tianyi didn’t bother to wipe the sword in his hand. The six masters almost pricked up their ears in the garden at the same time.

Emperor Jingwen was silent for a moment, then quietly opened the window a crack.

The moment he saw Yao Zhi, Lin Zhan quickly smiled, as if he was bathed in spring breeze and was a gentleman.

“Junior Sister Zhi’er.”

Lin Zhan pulled something out of his sleeve and said, “It’s Junior Sister’s birthday, and I specially ordered someone to make this for her. I came all the way here to give it to her. I hope she won’t dislike it.”

This shape…could it also be a hairpin?

Yao Zhi opened it subconsciously, and inside was indeed a jewel hairpin.

Ye Shuo’s expression suddenly fell, and he said in a dark tone: “Hairpins are women’s personal belongings, and cannot be given away easily.”

Yao Zhi naturally knew this truth, but before she could speak, Lin Zhan said, “Junior Sister Zhi’er and I have been childhood sweethearts, so we are not considered outsiders.”

Green, plum, bamboo, and horse.

These four words flashed through his mind, and Ye Shuo couldn’t help but laugh at himself: “Brother Lin is right, the friendship between childhood sweethearts is naturally incomparable to others. Compared with Brother Lin, Shuo’er, who just met Yao Zhi, is naturally an outsider…”

The latter sentence was spoken in a very light voice, but for some reason, it made Yao Zhi’s heart suddenly tighten.

“You two can chat slowly. Shuo’er has something else to do, so I won’t bother you any more.”

Seeing that he was about to leave, Lin Zhan didn’t have time to feel proud before he saw him first look at Junior Sister Yao steadily, and then turn around and leave.

Yao Zhi was immediately flustered by the various emotions in the young man’s eyes.

Yao Zhi made her choice without hesitation: “…I’m sorry, Senior Brother Lin, please find a place to sit first. I’ll talk to him and I’ll be back soon.”

Yao Zhi said this, but she never came back.

Lin Zhan kept waiting and waiting, but in the end, he only got a few servants. Although the servants had a good attitude and served very attentively, they quickly found a room for Lin Zhan and brought him lunch. However, these were not what Lin Zhan wanted.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lin Zhan’s nose was almost crooked with anger.

This one-sided situation was really boring, and the six masters soon felt bored.

As for Emperor Jingwen, he always felt that his son’s behaviour looked familiar…
