As soon as the competition ended, after sending Mo Yangyu to the inn safely, Mr. Deng left on the pretext that something happened.
Then he walked alone to the corner near the gate of Sun Mansion, sipping tea carefully, and patiently waiting for Lan Chen to come out.
He concluded that it was just a matter of recruiting a bride, and there was no way he could just move into the Sun Mansion today, right?
Things were similar to what he thought, but also slightly different.
He did wait, but he waited for a long, long time...
If my body and bones weren't still strong, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to endure this.
For a master like him, there is a certain persistence in his heart, just like Mo Yangyu issued an assassination order the moment he stepped out of the Sun Mansion. Unfortunately, Mr. Deng ignored it and retorted -
- The Mo family in Kunshan will not play tricks. If you feel embarrassed, just take it back openly.
But now he followed quietly again.
It's just that this time, it was something else.
If Lan Chen was killed, it was not because of the Mo family's jealousy, but actually because of Mr. Deng's wishes!
Certain thoughts rolled through his mind, making Mr. Deng a little confused and lost his mind.
For an expert like him, he has long been accustomed to multitasking, and it is no problem to follow and think at the same time, but in a daze, he only felt a little chattering and a little noisy.
"Is that kid injured? He's limping? Oh, forget it, I can only blame you for being born into the wrong family!"
Shaking his head, as if he had strengthened his determination, Mr. Deng no longer hid, and approached with striding steps, as light as a cat, like a wolf, or like a snake.
In the whole world, there are not more than ten people who have noticed this!
but......
A miracle just happened.
Lan Chen suddenly stopped and without looking back he said with a touch of indifference, "Your Excellency, after following me for so long, is it time to come out?"
Mr. Deng opened his mouth, his eyelids widened in surprise, and his strange eyes widened.
What situation?
He never imagined that a mere Lan Chen could detect his 'losing step'!
With this step alone, he has been traveling in the world for decades!
But now it doesn’t work!?
Perhaps because of the shock, Mr. Deng was unable to speak for a long time and even his body was frozen.
But what happened next was even more incredible.
Seeing that Lan Chen was clearly aware that someone was following him, he even said harsh words, but... after a moment of hesitation, he walked forward regardless.
Just one step, two steps, three steps!?
[This kid!] Mr. Deng gritted his teeth.
Is the future life to be feared?
No, no, no, it is no longer a fearful problem for future generations!
Who dares, who dares to show his back to Mr. Deng without any scruples!
Even those old immortals in the capital don’t dare!
In an instant, his anger was raging. Mr. Deng raised his hand and planned to do it regardless. This was clearly looking down on him. He had never been so aggrieved.
Even if the information is lost and a big event is missed, it doesn’t matter!
But just at the moment when he took action!
Lan Chen stopped again.
Quietly, and pretending to be profound, she said, "Sir, after following me for so long, is it time to come out?"
...
In a solemn silence, Mr. Deng suppressed his anger when he realized something, and stared at Lan Chen eagerly. At the same time, he held his breath and concentrated, deeply afraid that he would be discovered.
Sure enough, after Lan Chen paused for a while, he continued to move forward. When he reached the intersection, he said that abrupt sentence again - Your Excellency, after following you for so long, is it time to come out?
[This kid... I really thought he saw through my confusing steps. It turned out that he was trying to blow me up.] Mr. Deng couldn't help but praise in his heart, and at the same time he was immersed in such a 'thrilling' experience that he had not experienced in a long time.
It seems that as the age increases, the heart no longer boils and beats.
[But how could this kid guess that I would follow him? If I didn’t have that heart, wouldn’t I just be like a fool, just walking around. It shouldn’t be a problem for him if I don’t...
Mr. Deng generally understood what Lan Chen was thinking.
It's just a matter of preparedness. If there is such a fuss like trying to recruit a bride, you might be seeking revenge later on.
If we really want to take action, none of the ten Lan Chens can be a match for Mr. Deng.
It would be better to be surprised, maybe there will be a turn for the better.
Maybe he was really fooled, but that would be easy to handle.
It's a pity, it's just a matter of a mile, a thousand miles lost. For a moment, Mr. Deng was really confused about the purpose of his trip.
Thinking of this, Mr. Deng also followed Lan Chen's wishes and regarded it as an appreciation for this young disciple.
When the familiar sound of movements appeared again, Mr. Deng also said, "Boy, that's good. You can even find out like this."
As soon as he finished speaking, no matter how careful he was, he could not escape Mr. Deng's meticulous observation.
Although the figure steadied itself slightly, it actually twitched.
A little stiffly, but also a little self-deprecating, Lan Chen turned around, clasped his hands and said, "Old senior, we meet again. I thought he was some little thief, disrespectful."
"Lan Chen, stop pretending. I've seen through the trick you just played. It's not bad. It's a scary future." Mr. Deng teased interestingly, his eyes full of teasing, like a cat catching a mouse.
"Senior, what is this?" Lan Chen bit his lip and decided to test it out first.
After displaying two miraculous powers, he had a strong intuition that someone was following him.
It was most likely the old man next to Mo Yangyu.
But this is just an unfounded intuition. We can't tell Sun Fanfeng everything and ask Sun Mansion to send some bodyguards.
Just in case, he didn't even drink at the dinner, for fear of making a mistake. He stopped at every turn, pretending to be intimidating.
In the end, I was so unlucky, so bloody unlucky...
"My surname is Deng. At my age, I don't need to remember my name. I can just call you Mr. Deng."
After hearing this, Lan Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
This tone and this conversation don't seem to be menacing.
But in the next moment, he was thrown into the cold palace by Mr. Deng. "You are a senior, so I really don't dare to take it seriously. I have traveled around the world and haven't seen any birds. It's better for you, hey! I won't say that you are in the Sun Mansion."
It shows. I have been following you for a long time, stopping and threatening you frequently. How do you think I will follow you?"
Lan Chen was stunned.
It seems that he has been discovered. In this case, he can only confess some established facts and gain some fleeting moments for himself - a silver note worth five hundred taels, quietly held in the palm of his hand.
If something goes wrong, you can directly sacrifice to improve your realm!
But at this moment, he didn't feel safe at all.
Mr. Deng is like an unreachable mountain that can only be viewed from a distance.
After taking a deep breath, Lan Chen said, "Mr. Deng, do you remember? We met in front of the temple in the center of the city yesterday. In addition, you are by Mo Yangyu's side today, so I think you have something to do with him."
"
After scratching his head in embarrassment, he continued, "I think Mr. Mo is determined to win this marriage, but since I am such a troublemaker, it is only normal for Mr. Deng to come over and teach this junior a lesson."
