Chapter 2496: Their identities were unknown:
Guan Xilin and Ye Jing sat in the courtyard, while the four servants retreated to wait outside.
“The Qiao family seems to be a big clan in the city. The decor is stunning.” Ye Jing stated as she examined the courtyard’s layout.
Guan Xilin smiled as he heard her words, “When you marry me, the mansion’s decor is entirely up to you.”
Ye Jing’s cheeks flushed upon hearing this. “It’s still too early to say.”
“It’s not too early. When we’re finished here, we’ll return, and then we’ll take you back to Ye’s family first, and then I’ll ask my foster parents to choose an auspicious day to propose marriage.” He had already planned it in his head. He would retum as soon as they were finished here and attend to his
marriage first.
On this side, the two were chatting. When the hot water in the room was ready, they went in to take a bath and freshen up. While on the other side, Qiao Yinuo, who had returned to Qiao’s manor, came to his father’s courtyard and told him what had transpired outside.
“Fortunately, we ran into Brother Guan on the way back. We would have all died at the hands of those loose mercenaries if he hadn’t saved us.” Qiao Yinuo said.
“Did he save you all by himself?” Patriarch Qiao was astounded. “Based on what you just said, the loose mercenaries you faced are all Celestial ranks, and there are 20 or 30 of them, how can he kill so many people by himself?”
“Brother Guan is very powerful. It took him only one swing of the long sword to hack through and kill a loose mercenary. Additionally, he killed all the loose mercenaries without being harmed in the slightest.”
Qiao Yinuo added, “I invited them to our house since they had rescued us and we were not far from the Qiao’s manor. I guessed they were on their way as well, and that they might have to leave tomorrow.”
Patriarch Qiao nodded. “You made the correct decision. We owe him thanks for saving your lives. Tell the kitchen to start preparing dinner. In the evening, I will express my gratitude to Young Master Guan.”
“Yes, Father. Then I’ll go ahead and see if Yuanchong has already been picked up. He was seriously injured. Yuanchong would not have been able to make it here if it wasn’t for Yu Long’s father giving him the Ghost Doctor’s special hemostatic medicine.”
“Ghost Doctor’s hemostatic medicine?” Patriarch Qiao was stunned. “I didn’t expect that their family could buy it. It is said that the Ghost Doctor’s medicine has a magical effect, but there are not many people who can buy it. I’m sure that cost a lot of money as well.”
Then he added, with a flick of his palm, “Return to your courtyard for a change of clothing and rest. In the evening, I’ll have someone call you.”
“Alright.” Qiao Yinuo responded before withdrawing.
Only after his return did they learn that the son had been saved halfway through the journey by a young master named Guan. So, upon hearing the news, Patriarch Shi instructed his people to prepare gifts and got ready to pay him a visit the following morning to express their gratitude.
Some of the young men who had returned home had prepared gifts and made plans to visit the Qiao’s family the next day to thank Young Master Guan, while others appeared oblivious and pretended not to know.
Guan Xilin and Ye Jing, who had changed their clothes after bathing, were invited to the front courtyard banquet this night. Patriarch Qiao personally expressed his gratitude and sent numerous gifts to them.
The Qiao family, however, did not discover who they were despite drinking a table of wine. They only knew two people with the surnames Guan and Ye....
