"But dear nephew, I heard that there is a black boy coming back with Tang Xuanxuan this time. I'm afraid you have no chance." Lin Daowan sighed. The plan was a good one but not very realistic.

The former smiled confidently and said: "How can a wild boy from the country be worthy of competing with me? When the time comes, the worst he can do is let him disappear."

Chu Rong clapped his hands and praised: "My nephew has such confidence, we can feel relieved. I am willing to support the Cao family."

"I'll wait and be willing too!" Lin Daowan and others echoed.

With a smile on his face, Cao Guanhai nodded and said, "Now that the plan is settled, why don't you all have dinner together?"

"That's fine, that's fine."

The heads of each household, led by the maids, went to the dining room.

He patted Cao Hongzhi on the shoulder happily and said, "Well done."

Cao Hongzhi bowed and said, "I'll help you with tomorrow's work, father."

After his father left the living room, Cao Hongzhi raised his head, his eyes full of jealousy and yearning.

Memories from my childhood and what I saw today came to mind.

"Sister Xuanxuan, do you know how many years I have been waiting for you?" Cao Hongzhi clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves. He could not accept the fact that there was a wild boy beside Tang Xuanxuan.

"Crash!" "Plop!"

With two muffled sounds, the door of the living room was blown open and closed by a gust of wind, and a man wrapped in black robes sat on the upper seat.

The man in black robe crossed his arms and said softly: "Do you want to marry a girl from the Tang family?"

Cao Hongzhi was startled by two muffled sounds. It took him a while to recover, and he bowed and said: "Your Excellency, don't forget that we are just a cooperative relationship."

"cooperate?"

The voice of the man in black robe could not distinguish between male and female, and he sneered: "Are you worthy? Don't forget that you are just my dog, please pay attention to your superiority and inferiority."

"Don't bully others too much!" He pointed angrily at the man in black robes and said with a gloomy expression.

The man in black robe could not tell his emotions, but he obviously wanted to teach him a lesson and raised his index finger slightly.

For a moment, Cao Hongzhi felt like the world was spinning and his brain was shaken. He held his head in his hands and knelt on the ground.

He thought, shouting loudly, opening his mouth wide, but no sound came out.

The man in black robe was very satisfied with his reaction and laughed loudly: "Boy, forget it this time. If you dare to do it next time, I will turn you into a doll."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Cao Hongzhi lowered his head and said with trembling hands.

The man in black robe walked towards him slowly, pinched his chin and said, "I just want the treasure record of the Tang family. As for the Tang family, it's up to you."

After saying that, the man in black robe turned away from his face and wanted to leave.

"Sir, may I ask you a question?" Cao Hongzhi said with his eyes wide open, staring at the floor.

The man in black robe said impatiently: "Tell me, this is the last question."

Cao Hongzhi received the black-robed man's permission, slowly straightened up and asked, "Sir, are you from the Tang Sect?"

The man in black robe turned his head, looked at Cao Hongzhi who was kneeling on the ground behind him, and said calmly: "No."

After saying that, the door suddenly opened and the man in black robe disappeared.

The corners of his mouth slowly raised, he stood up slowly, and walked towards the dining room with firm eyes.

...

Under the moonlight, the man in black robe stood on the roof with his hands behind his hands. Three black shadows flashed out and knelt down in front of the man in black robe.

"Sir, do you need to shut him up?" said the dark figure among them.

The man in black robe looked into the distance, which was the direction of the Tang family.

"No need, he is an important part of my plan." The man in black robe said calmly: "You go ahead."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Several piercing sounds sounded one after another, and black shadows left one after another.

The man in black robe opened his arms, feeling the biting autumn wind, as if everything was under control.

...

In a courtyard of the Tang family.

Shen Xingliu had dinner with his father and daughter and was walking with them in the courtyard.

"Xuanxuan, you should go back to the small courtyard to rest first," Tang Zhuohang said, "Shen Shaoxia and I still have something to say."

She didn't know what her father wanted to do, so she pulled Shen Xingliu's clothes nervously.

"Dad, what do you want to do? There is nothing my daughter can't hear."

Tang Zhuohang frowned slightly, looked at his daughter helplessly, and secretly winked at Shen Xingliu.

The latter patted her hand gently and said, "Xuanxuan, Uncle Tang must have something important to say when he comes to me. You can go to the small courtyard and wait for me first."

Tang Xuanxuan pouted and refused, just unwilling to leave first, as if she would be "sold" by them as soon as she left.

"I'll tell you quietly later."

Shen Xingliu quietly whispered in her ear. Tang Zhuohang clenched his fists in embarrassment and covered his lips. Did he really think he couldn't hear?

Sure enough, after hearing this, her eyebrows showed a happy look, and she saluted Tang Zhuohang: "Dad, then I will go back to the yard to rest. You should also rest early."

After saying that, she took three steps and turned around and left. The two of them smiled slightly and watched her leave.

Tang Zhuohang saw her leaving and said, "Young Master Shen, please sit down here."

"Uncle Tang, please go first." Shen Xingliu cupped his hands and said.

"Then please come together."

He laughed, took Shen Xingliu's arm and walked towards the stone round table in the courtyard.

"Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed for a few days, there are still many mooncakes made at home," Tang Zhuohang picked up the mooncakes on the wooden plate on the stone table and said, "Young Master Shen might as well try them."

"That kid would be disrespectful."

Shen Xingliu couldn't wait to grab the moon cake and ate it.

"Well, it's actually a delicious mooncake." Shen Xingliu took a bite of the mooncake, and the inside filled his mouth. He chewed it and said, "Uncle Tang's cook is really good at his craftsmanship."

Tang Zhuohang saw that he was eating so deliciously, and the mooncakes in his hands became even more delicious.

After the two of them finished eating the mooncakes in their hands, Tang Zhuohang wanted to pour him a cup of tea, but Shen Xingliu got there first. He first filled Uncle Tang's cup, and then poured himself a cup.

Tang Zhuohang chewed the remaining mooncakes and pointed at Shen Xingliu with a smile. Boy, you are really sensible.

"Uncle Tang..."

"Young Master Shen..."

After drinking tea, the two of them spoke almost at the same time and couldn't help laughing.

"It seems that Shen Shaoxia also has questions to ask me." Tang Zhuohang put down the wooden tea cup in his hand and said: "Shen Shaoxia, please feel free to ask."

"You're being abrupt, Uncle Tang should speak first," Shen Xingliu said awkwardly.

Tang Zhuohang was also a good-natured person and said, "Okay then, I'll keep the story short."

"Actually, many people in Yuzhou City are watching Xuanxuan this time when she comes back."

Although he was staring at the wooden cup in front of him, his index finger kept circling the rim of the cup, wondering what he was thinking.

Standing up suddenly, Shen Xingliu said with great enthusiasm: "Although I don't know what they want, I will definitely protect Tang Xuanxuan. Please rest assured, Uncle Tang, I will not let her get hurt at all."

Tang Zhuohang raised his head and said, "What if you unfortunately die too?"

"Even if I die, I will crawl out of hell and kill all my enemies one by one." Shen Xingliu roared in a low voice, with murderous intent condensing on his body as if he wanted to choose and devour anyone.

He couldn't imagine how angry he must be when Tang Xuanxuan was injured.

Tang Zhuohang clapped his hands excitedly and said: "Good boy, you really didn't let me wrong, Xuanxuan will leave it to you."

Taking a deep breath, he sat on the stone bench and drank all the tea. He cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Tang, I'm here."

The other party also raised his fists at him. This was the feeling of a father entrusting his daughter to her, without any regard for status.

"Young Master Shen, what questions do you want to ask me?" Tang Zhuohang calmed down and said.

"Uncle Tang, you sir are calling me Xingliu. I'm almost embarrassed. Uncle, just call me Xingliu. People in my hometown all call me that."

Shen Xingliu smiled and took something out of his arms.

"Okay, I'll be polite then, Xingliu." Tang Zhuohang nodded and said happily.

He responded, then took out a metal dart and handed it to Tang Zhuohang, saying, "Uncle Tang, do you know what this is?"

"Oh? This is it?" Tang Zhuohang took the dart and looked at it carefully: "This is the fish bone dart? It belongs to my Tang Sect?"

"Xingliu, where did you find this dart?" he asked with a surprised look on his face.

Seeing that he didn't know anything about it, Shen Xingliu felt happy and confused at the same time, saying, "Uncle Tang didn't know about it?"

"Okay, this fish bone dart was found in the backyard of the Fuyuan Escort Bureau that was wiped out not long ago."
