Urban Cultivation: The master who has overcome the tribulation is reborn

The shadows of the trees were swaying in the night wind, and the dim stars blinked at the woman who was walking quickly in the courtyard.

Her swaying figure shines brightly in the dim light of the courtyard, and her skirt lifted by the wind reveals her urgent mood.

Yan Yuqing's current mood is completely different from when she left home. She has been looking for Jiang Ran for several days and has tried every possible way. She never expected that she would get what she wanted just when she was about to give up.

She was a very opinionated person, so she didn't want to bet on Yan Weiguo's decision at all.

If Yan Weiguo chose to bow his head for the Yan family, she would most likely follow filial piety and go to see Li Sutong.

She didn't dare to think about what would happen then, nor did she want to think about it.

The moment she saw Jiang Ran's figure on the Yanshui River in the evening, most of the heavy burden on her shoulders was lifted. At least in terms of military strength, she had a backup.

After all, the warrior ban is something that can be ignored for the Grandmaster.

No matter how young a master is, he is still a master. With Jiang Ran around, Yan Weiguo will put aside many concerns and become much more calm when facing pressure from Li Sutong.

Yan Yuqing, feeling happy that she could both share her grandfather's worries and solve her own problems, walked without stopping and soon stood outside the study.

The flickering candlelight in the room was not bright enough. A trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes, and she pushed the door open without hesitation: "I told you to turn on the lights in the study at night. The candlelight is too dim and it hurts your eyes."

"What's that smell? Grandpa, you're smoking again!" She raised her red sleeves to cover her mouth and nose, and while talking she opened the door as wide as possible, pushed open the window in two steps, and raised her eyebrows.

"Oh, you'd never guess..."

Yan Yuqing turned around and before she could finish her words, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She looked at the two people with solemn expressions nervously.

Huo Ying drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, then threw the cup on the ground and smashed it to pieces. "Yan, you can tell me yourself. I really can't bring myself to say this."

Yan Yuqing forced a smile and didn't give Yan Weiguo a chance to speak before moving closer to Huo Ying. "Who made Grandpa Huo so angry? Qing'er will not forgive him."

Huo Ying looked at the helplessness and panic on her face, closed his eyes with some regret, and the hand that was holding the corner of the table kept shaking.

"Yuqing." Yan Weiguo suppressed his annoyance, but the bitterness in his voice was hard to hide, "Grandmaster Li still insisted on seeing you."

He turned his head away from Yan Yuqing's ugly expression, and spoke softly, "Don't worry, your uncle Huo and I will find a way to change the meeting place to Yanshan City."

"Grandpa won't let you go to see him alone."

Yan Yuqing's face was ugly and surprised: "Where is it?"

"Beside the Yanshui River, in the Biyun Pavilion." Yan Weiguo heard that there was not much despair in her words, and he couldn't help but raise his head and promised, "Luo Hong did not die in your hands, Li Sutong will not make things too difficult for him."

"His real purpose this time is to use the Yan family to establish his prestige and make the Grandmaster more famous. I decided to meet him by the Yan River, which is also a disguised way of telling him that he can't do anything too extreme."

He talked for a while before realizing that Yan Yuqing's mood was a little off. He continued with a serious look, "This is not just about you, it's also about Chuan'er and your uncle, as well as the Yan family."

If she hadn't found Jiang Ran in Yanshui today, Yan Yuqing couldn't imagine how she would feel when she heard the news after returning home.

At least it won’t be like it is now. Although I still feel sad, I don’t feel desperate.

There was at least one other person standing behind her.

"If you really don't want to see..." Yan Weiguo looked at her expression for a long time, but couldn't see much. After hesitating for a while, he finally said hesitantly, "Forget it."

"It's the same if Chuan'er and I go to see him."

Upon hearing this, Huo Ying could not help but open his eyes and stare at Yan Weiguo in anger. He stammered for a long time but finally did not interrupt him in person.

Yan Yuqing seemed not to understand the deeper meaning of his words. She waited for Yan Weiguo to finish speaking, paused for a while before she opened her lips.

"I found Mr. Jiang."

Huo Ying stood up from the chair and knocked over the teacup without even noticing it.

He grabbed Yan Yuqing's shoulder with his right hand, unable to hide his excitement: "Are you talking about the young master?"

Yan Yuqing frowned slightly in pain, and a light snort startled Huo Ying, who let go with an apologetic look on his face.

"Didn't he leave Yanshan City to avoid Li Sutong's influence? Why would he come back at such a sensitive time?"

Huo Ying clasped his hands together, his fingers turning blue. After muttering a few words, he suddenly realized something and looked at the beauty in front of him. "It's not surprising to be a hero for a girl."

Yan Yuqing's cheeks flushed, and she interrupted him just as her face was about to turn red, "Grandpa Huo, please stop talking nonsense. Jiang Ran must have other reasons for leaving Yanshan City."

"How do you know so much?" Huo Ying looked suspicious.

"I don't know anything, but with Jiang Ran's personality, he wouldn't do anything to hide from the limelight even if he were to face Li Sutong."

Yan Yuqing rubbed her painful shoulder, her tone quite affirmative.

"That's true. The young master has such a strong character. Even though he knows that the Lone Goose Sword has been famous for a long time, it is impossible for him to lose his spirit." Huo Ying put his mouth on his chin and stroked his beard in agreement.

"Why did Grandmaster Jiang return to Yanshan?" Yan Weiguo's old face was full of surprise.

He had the same idea as Huo Ying at the beginning, thinking that Jiang Ran must have left after killing Luo Hong in order to avoid facing Li Sutong.

Yan Weiguo didn't think it was wrong that Jiang Ran fled Yanshan City, nor did he think of using this incident to divert Li Sutong's anger.

The decision to return to Yanshan City on the eve of Li Sutong's arrival after leaving for many days seemed unexpected no matter how you looked at it.

"Yuqing, there is actually another choice now." Huo Ying pondered for a long time, and spoke with careful consideration, "Push Master Jiang out."

"No." Yan Yuqing took a step back suddenly, like a frightened rabbit, and blurted out without thinking.

"Okay, Old Huo, I know you care about Yuqing, but this ungrateful behavior is absolutely unacceptable." Yan Weiguo rejected Huo Ying's proposal without hesitation.

"Neither this nor that works. It's obvious that the only way is for Qing girl to see him?" Huo Ying snorted coldly.

"What do you say we should do?!" Yan Weiguo suddenly exploded, stiffening his neck and roaring, "The Grand Master spoke up to defend Li Sutong and specifically asked Yuqing to go. What can I do?"

"We decided to set the meeting place in Yanshan City after asking many people to help us. Once the Grand Master made his decision, which family or sect in Qingjiang Province would dare to say no?"

Yan Weiguo burst into emotion, but Yan Yuqing's face turned pale as she listened to him.

She finally understood what kind of situation the Yan family was in now. It turned out that it was not just Li Sutong who was putting pressure on them, but there was also a deeper level of competition for interests.

When she found out that this matter involved a grandmaster, she had already thought of a way out for Jiang Ran.

After thinking it over and making up her mind, Yan Yuqing took a deep breath, and her teardrop mole trembled slightly because of her frowning brows.

"I go."
