At this moment, in Jin Renfeng's room, he was sitting upright in front of the table, his eyes glaring venomously into the distance through the window. His fiery red hair was fluffed up due to his anger.
Just then, a black figure darted into the room like a gust of wind.
Jin Renfeng showed no sign of panic. Instead, he turned around and stared intently at the person before him.
This person was wrapped in black cloth, with only his eyes and nose exposed. Seeing Jin Renfeng, he quickly bowed and said, "Senior Brother."
Jin Renfeng nodded, then frowned and looked at the black - robed man. "How about the matter I asked you to investigate?"
The black - robed man paused for a moment, then said seriously, "I've found out. A few days ago, Senior Sister Huaizhu and Senior Sister Qinlan were indeed together with two people from the Wangquan Family. They were also playing around with Li Zizai, the eldest young master of the Taoyuan Li Family, and Li Quzhuo, the second young master."
Sure enough, Jin Renfeng's eyebrows knitted together instantly. A large amount of flames erupted from his body, heating up the surrounding air.
The black - robed man felt obvious discomfort and said, "Senior Brother!"
Jin Renfeng let out a breath, and the flames on his body immediately extinguished. However, the anger in his heart did not subside at all.
"Bang!" He slapped the table in front of him.
Due to the great force, an ordinary wooden table instantly shattered into pieces, and the wreckage scattered in all directions.
"Have you found out about the Wangquan Family? What abilities do they have?" Jin Renfeng then turned his fierce gaze to the black - robed man beside him.
The black - robed man quickly said, "Wangquan Baiye, the eldest young master of the Wangquan Family, is very skilled in swordplay among the younger generation. He claims to be the Sword Saint among the young, and no one dares to compete with him."
"What about me?" Jin Renfeng stared at the black - robed man in front of him with a complex look in his eyes, making it hard to tell his true thoughts.
"I'm not sure. Senior Brother is the eldest young master of the Fire God Manor and is number one in the manor. You're also outstanding among the younger generation. If you two were to compete, it's hard to say who would win." As the black - robed man spoke, he kept his eyes on Jin Renfeng, afraid that he would get angry again.
"Wangquan Baiye!" Jin Renfeng gritted his teeth as he murmured Wangquan Baiye's name. There was a huge amount of anger pent up in his heart. He wished he could tear Wangquan Baiye to pieces.
"Who dares to compete with me for a woman! I'll make you disgraced and never have a chance to rise again!"
"One day, Dongfang Huaizhu will be my woman. No one can take her away from me!"
The next day, the weather was fine. The sun shone directly on the ground and poured into the room through the window.
Dongfang Qinlan was in the room at the moment. She tightly grabbed Dongfang Huaizhu's arm with both hands, pouted her mouth, and murmured, "Sister, please accompany me out to play!"
Dongfang Huaizhu sighed. Looking at the little troublemaker who had been clinging to her for the whole morning, she finally relented and said softly, "Okay."
Hearing that her sister finally agreed, Dongfang Qinlan let out an excited scream. She jumped onto Dongfang Huaizhu and kissed her. "Great! I love you the most, sister."
Seeing Dongfang Qinlan's excited look, Dongfang Huaizhu couldn't help but smile gently. She packed some snacks and an oil - paper umbrella for shading, and then the two of them set off from the Fire God Manor.
For convenience, they went directly to a small hill near the Fire God Manor.
Since few people usually went there, the vegetation on the hill had not been damaged. All kinds of green plants grew on the hill, making it look green from afar. It was really refreshing and made people feel relaxed.
"Sister, look! There's a lake over there!" Dongfang Qinlan jumped up and down excitedly. She held Dongfang Huaizhu's arm with one hand and pointed to a green lake in the distance.
Dongfang Huaizhu looked in the direction her finger was pointing. Sure enough, there was a naturally - formed green lake beside the hill.
Dongfang Huaizhu had never noticed it before. This lake in front of her seemed very similar to the Huishui Bamboo Pavilion before. For a moment, Dongfang Huaizhu even thought she had returned to that place.
"Sister, what do you think this lake looks like?" Dongfang Qinlan looked at Dongfang Huaizhu with a smile.
Dongfang Huaizhu immediately understood that this little girl had already seen what was on her mind. "Indeed, it's very similar to the Huishui Bamboo Pavilion, but this is not the Huishui Bamboo Pavilion."
"I knew it. Although you're here with me now, your heart has already flown away with Brother Wangquan Baiye. So, when you see this lake, you can think of the Huishui Bamboo Pavilion related to Brother Wangquan." The two little buns on Dongfang Qinlan's head swayed.
"Maybe you're right." Unexpectedly, Dongfang Huaizhu didn't refute Dongfang Qinlan. Instead, she agreed with her and looked calm.
During the whole spring outing, Dongfang Qinlan was full of enthusiasm, jumping up and down. On the contrary, Dongfang Huaizhu was preoccupied and didn't talk much. At most, she just stared blankly at the green lake.
In the afternoon, when the two of them returned to the Fire God Manor, they found that the manor was very lively.
There were junior brothers and sisters coming and going, as well as a group of craftsmen with dirty hands that Dongfang Huaizhu had never seen before. They were all busy non - stop.
Dongfang Qinlan led Dongfang Huaizhu. The two of them walked into the Fire God Manor curiously and found that the whole manor was filled with bright red roses.
The whole yard was covered with red petals, and the faint fragrance of roses wafted in the air with the wind.
Dongfang Huaizhu casually grabbed a junior brother. "What's going on?"
The junior brother saw Dongfang Huaizhu and quickly said with a smile, "It was done by the senior master brother. He said he wanted to give you a surprise. After you left early in the morning, we started to get busy. We've been working all day."
Dongfang Huaizhu couldn't help but press her temple with her fist, then led Dongfang Qinlan straight to Jin Renfeng's room.
They saw Jin Renfeng holding a bunch of bright red roses, carefully picking out the weeds with his fingers.
Seeing Dongfang Huaizhu coming in aggressively, he quickly held the roses in front of his chest and then handed them to Dongfang Huaizhu. He said with a smile, "Women like roses. I've been busy all morning just to pick out the most beautiful bunch."
However, the scene Jin Renfeng had expected didn't happen. Dongfang Huaizhu didn't take the roses. Instead, she said calmly, "I'm not used to roses. They're too fragrant." Then she turned around and left.
The next day, just as Dongfang Huaizhu got up and opened the window, she saw that there were rows and rows of bamboo planted densely outside the window, even blocking the sunlight.
