"No, they are just my distant relatives. They will come to our Jing family to stay for a few days. When the time comes, they will leave. I think they are in good health, so I simply let the two of them go with me and earn some money.
Round trip fare."
The old man said with a normal expression.
After listening to the old man's words, the inquirer's face suddenly showed a look of astonishment.
"No wonder I heard that Mr. Xiao came back with a wounded person on his back. It turns out that a distant relative came to see you. This guy's body doesn't seem to be in good shape. He can be tired after walking a long distance. What if he is outside Qingman Mountain?
What to do if you encounter danger."
The guard on the side whispered to the old man, not forgetting to look at Zhang Yifeng's pretty face as he spoke.
"Mr. Xiao, although our young lady likes to look like this boy, he is not from the right family. Mr. Xiao, you should give up on this idea!"
The guard thought he had guessed what Old Xiao was thinking when he took over Zhang Yifeng. Thinking of Old Xiao's care for him in the past, he couldn't help but remind Old Xiao.
Unexpectedly, when Mr. Xiao heard this, he blinked and waved his hand.
"Tsk, what are you talking about? My distant nephew is here to visit relatives. They will leave when the time is almost up."
Mr. Xiao looked at the guard and shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Seeing Mr. Xiao's reaction, the guard couldn't help but lower his head. It seemed that he had guessed wrong.
Somewhat guilty, he bowed his hands to Mr. Xiao. In a place like this, it is most taboo to talk nonsense.
Fortunately, Mr. Xiao's character is one of the best in the entire Jing family, so he is not worried about others knowing about this matter and exposing it to him.
However, taking this opportunity, the identities of Zhang Yifeng and the Black Bear Demon were also confirmed. While the Jing family was waiting for the Eastern Immortal Land Teleportation Formation to open, Zhang Yifeng would become Mr. Xiao's distant nephew.
While everyone was waiting quietly, bursts of laughter came from within the Jing family, and Zhang Yifeng glanced over.
A girl in a yellow dress was seen walking out of the Jing family's house surrounded by several teenagers.
The girl had a lively face and a long sword at her waist. She could not hide the excitement on her face as she skipped towards the carriage.
Suddenly, the girl's footsteps stopped, and she raised her head to look at Zhang Yifeng, who was standing next to Mr. Xiao with a calm expression.
The girl's eyes shone brightly, staring directly at Zhang Yifeng, which made Zhang Yifeng shudder a little.
He has never been stared at so directly and unabashedly. Although the women on Lingyue Continent are crazy about him, they still have some restraint. They have never stared at Zhang Yifeng so blatantly.
Zhang Yifeng, who was a little embarrassed by the girl's stare, coughed lightly, took a step back, and distanced himself from the girl.
When the girl saw Zhang Yifeng take a step back, not only did she not feel conscious at all, but she actually got closer to Zhang Yifeng.
Noticing the girl's movement towards Zhang Yifeng, the black bear demon's eyes instantly focused and he subconsciously tried to block Zhang Yifeng.
But as soon as the black bear demon made a move, Zhang Yifeng secretly raised his hand to suppress it.
Restricted by Zhang Yifeng, the black bear demon could only stop thinking about stepping forward and just stood there obediently.
Only the guards around them felt as if a dark wind had just blown by.
"You're pretty good-looking. I've never seen you in the escort team before. Are you just here?"
The girl raised her beautiful eyebrows and asked Zhang Yifeng curiously with a blushing face.
"I am Xiao Zhong, Mr. Xiao's distant nephew. Miss, just call me Xiao Zhong."
Zhang Yifeng casually listed a name and said to the girl without blushing or heartbeat.
"It turns out he is Mr. Xiao's nephew!"
After hearing that Zhang Yifeng was Mr. Xiao's distant nephew, the excitement on the girl's face became even more intense. She raised her head and looked at Zhang Yifeng in a daze.
Zhang Yifeng, who was a little frightened by the girl's stare, pursed his lips and turned to look at Mr. Xiao.
When Mr. Xiao saw this, he also sighed. Now he couldn't help Zhang Yifeng if he didn't come forward to rescue him.
Putting his hand on Zhang Yifeng's shoulder, Mr. Xiao patted Zhang Yifeng's shoulder and then pulled Zhang Yifeng behind him.
"I have met the young lady. My nephew is not very experienced in the world. If he said anything wrong and offended the young lady, I hope you can forgive me."
"Well, oh, what Mr. Xiao said, you have watched me grow up since childhood. Your nephew is my eldest brother. How can I blame you?"
The girl chuckled and looked at Zhang Yifeng standing behind through the gap in Xiao Lao's robe.
Zhang Yifeng has never seen such a harem-like woman.
Taking a deep breath in his heart, Zhang Yifeng cupped his hands towards the girl.
"I've met eldest brother Xiao Zhong. My daughter's name is Jing Xue. She is the only eldest daughter of the Jing family."
Jing Xue said to Zhang Yifeng with a sneer on her face. Seeing that Zhang Yifeng wanted Jing Xue to get along with each other, all the men of the Jing family standing aside gave up.
They play with their sister every day, how could they see their sister hanging out with relatives of family servants like Zhang Yifeng.
None of them dared to have an opinion against Mr. Xiao. After all, Mr. Xiao was an old brother who had been with their father for many years, and they all respected Mr. Xiao very much.
Even before, the head of the Jing family asked them to make Mr. Xiao their godfather, but Mr. Xiao sternly refused on the spot.
Mr. Xiao is a stubborn old man. He cannot relax at all when it comes to customary etiquette. Even if the head of the family asks him to be the godfather of his child, Mr. Xiao is not willing to do so.
Mr. Xiao understood that the head of the family saw that he had no wife and children, and wanted the young masters and ladies to regard him as their godfather so that they could take care of him more easily in the future.
But Mr. Xiao's status as a servant made him understand that these things cannot be done. Once he does it, it will be beyond the rules.
If Zhang Yifeng were to talk about this kind of thing, he would definitely say that Mr. Xiao was too entangled in these complicated etiquette.
Similarly, if Zhang Yifeng has a little understanding, he can understand that this is Mr. Xiao's belief. How can a belief that has been adhered to for decades be changed in just a short period of time.
The main reason is that as the daughter of the Jing family, the girl is burdened with the reputation of the Jing family.
Normally, they can follow this sister no matter what the trouble is, but when it comes to choosing a brother-in-law, only those who pass their approval are qualified to be their brother-in-law.
The most important point among them is that they have to be of the same family as their sister. Otherwise, how can any crooked person be able to be with their sister?
Seeing the angry looks cast by the girl's brothers towards him, Zhang Yifeng frowned slightly.
We had originally agreed that our next actions would be low-key, but Zhang Yifeng had already endured enough of the turmoil caused by his high profile.
Now that he is suddenly being targeted by so many people, Zhang Yifeng is still asked how to proceed.
