Chapter 706: Yan Dianhong Couple's Visit
Chapter 706: Yan Dianhong Couple's Visit
The next morning, when Jin Banhua saw Hua Zhenzhen, with her delicate and charming demeanor, gently placing a basin on the table and then holding a towel, her face full of shyness as she handed it to him, he was startled and exclaimed, "You really came?"
"Didn't you ask me to come and attend to your morning rituals and breakfast?" Hua Zhenzhen pouted, clearly enjoying Jin Banhua's surprise. "The master and mistress are already waiting for you. After you finish your morning rituals, go and have breakfast."
"How did you get the butler to send you here?" Jin Banhua asked.
The Jin Family Manor in the capital was also a wealthy clan with its own set of rules and traditions. Hua Zhenzhen's ability to enter as a maid indicated that she had already gained the trust of the manor, but it wasn't easy for her to directly become the attendant maid of the young master.
Hua Zhenzhen gave Jin Banhua a sidelong glance. "I told them you said so, and they wanted to verify it with you, but you didn't dare, so naturally, they sent me."
The manor's butler, seeing Hua Zhenzhen's charming and beautiful appearance, was both amazed by her ambition and boldness and decisively agreed—if Hua Zhenzhen managed to climb into Jin Banhua's bed through this, he might have to curry favor with her in the future.
Therefore, regardless of whether Jin Banhua had said it or not, he would never dare to verify it and offend both sides.
Jin Banhua gave Hua Zhenzhen a thumbs-up, then took the towel and went to the hall to wash up.
Hua Zhenzhen followed behind Jin Banhua with small, quick steps, just like a real maid, attending to him and the Jin couple as they finished their breakfast, and then accompanying him on a stroll in the garden to aid digestion.
"The Beggar Sect's rumors were wrong. Shi Guan Yin wasn't killed by you all surrounding her, but by you alone, right?" Hua Zhenzhen asked.
"Hu Tiehua, Ji Bingyan, and Yan Dianhong all made their moves," Jin Banhua emphasized.
"But they all failed!" Hua Zhenzhen said with piercing eyes, "I've seen Hu Tiehua in action, and he's definitely not a match for Shi Guan Yin."
"Have you seen Shi Guan Yin in action?" Jin Banhua asked.
"I haven't, but if she only has that level of skill, she couldn't have killed the seven swordsmen of Huashan, nor would she make the Withered Plum Sect Leader wary," Hua Zhenzhen replied.
"It seems you know her quite well?" Jin Banhua asked.
"Huangfu Gao and Liu Yanfei returned, and they didn't kill anyone, but she tortured the Huashan disciples into such a state that they were neither human nor ghost," Hua Zhenzhen said. "I wanted to intervene, but before I even descended the mountain, I heard the news from the Beggar Sect."
Jin Banhua smiled and continued, "And of course, there's the theft of the Clear Wind Thirteen Movements."
Hua Zhenzhen nodded and suddenly asked, "Your Clear Wind Thirteen Movements, was it really taught to you by a swordsman named Hua Yukun?"
"Absolutely!" Jin Banhua replied.
"Then have you heard of the Sea of Gold, where nothing is impossible to buy?" Hua Zhenzhen continued.
"No, I haven't," Jin Banhua shook his head. "The Jin Family in the capital is just a wealthy clan, not a martial arts clan."
Hua Zhenzhen stared at Jin Banhua, feeling speechless. Your martial arts skills are probably better than ninety-nine percent of the martial arts clans, and you still claim you're not a martial arts clan!
"Are you really willing to teach the Whisper Wind Fourteen to Huashan?" Hua Zhenzhen asked.
"Do you think the Clear Wind Thirteen Movements is very powerful?" Jin Banhua asked.
"Of course!" Hua Zhenzhen replied seriously. "Just in terms of sword techniques, the Three Famous Sword Techniques of the Daoist Sect are not as good as the Clear Wind Thirteen Movements, let alone the Emei Willow Sword Technique, Diancang Cloud Sword Technique, or the Hainan Heaven Wraith Thirteen Techniques."
"But the Whisper Wind Fourteen raises this sword technique to a whole new level.
Jin Banhua raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Hua Zhenzhen had to admit, "Yes."
"So you think I can't bear to part with it?" Jin Banhua smiled.
Hua Zhenzhen stared at Jin Banhua warily, hugging her chest and taking a small step back. "You... what are your terms?"
Jin Banhua stared at Hua Zhenzhen strangely, cackling eerily.
Hua Zhenzhen looked at Jin Banhua nervously, her face paling.
Just then, a servant rushed into the edge of the scene, "Young Master, there's a couple at the door who claim to be your friends..."
He stopped mid-sentence, frozen in place, both surprised and flustered, unsure whether to turn and leave or finish his sentence.
Then he saw Jin Banhua turn around and ask him, "Someone is looking for me, who is it?"
The servant hurriedly replied, "It's a couple, both young. The man is dressed in black, and the woman has her face covered with white silk. Oh, and the man is carrying a sword!"
"Invite them in quickly!"
Jin Banhua already knew who the visitors were and couldn't help but smile. "When they left, they seemed so carefree, I thought they didn't care. But they've come back so soon."
Hua Zhenzhen asked, "Who are they?"
"Yan Yanhong and Qu Wurong," Jin Banhua replied.
As Jin Banhua entered the hall, she was greeted by Yan Yanhong and Qu Wurong.
Yan Yanhong was still in his signature black attire, carrying a slender, long sword with a dark scabbard.
Qu Wurong, on the other hand, had changed into a yellow-apricot dress, but her face was still covered with white silk.
"I've been waiting for you for several days. If you hadn't come, I would have headed south," Jin Banhua smiled.
"Are you going south for something?" Yan Yanhong asked urgently.
Jin Banhua nodded, "I'm going to urge Chu Liuxiang to find the White Jade Beauty for me! I heard he goes to Cup Throwing Manor for wine every year during the beginning of winter. I need to remind him not to indulge too much!"
Yan Yanhong, "..."
Qu Wurong laughed, "Why don't you just bring Su Gongzhu and the others to the capital? Chu Liuxiang will definitely find the White Jade Beauty and return her to you as soon as possible."
"That's indeed a good idea," Jin Banhua said seriously. "I'm afraid that if they get too comfortable, even if Chu Liuxiang returns the White Jade Beauty, they might not want to leave. What should I do then?"
Qu Wurong's delicate shoulders trembled, "In that case, you'll have to add three more pairs of chopsticks at home."
After Qu Wurong left the Great Desert and resolved their concerns with Yan Yanhong, they both felt much more at ease.
The three of them exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh.
Jin Banhua asked, "Your fellow disciples, have they caused any trouble?"
Yan Yanhong shook his head, "Of course not. Having escaped from Divine Water Palace with their lives, they have no more desires. Some have decided to retire from the jianghu, and while others plan to continue in the jianghu, they no longer work as assassins."
"Anyway, they're not short of money," Yan Yanhong added.
Jin Banhua asked, "But why are you always broke?"
Yan Yanhong fell silent.
Jin Banhua laughed, stood up, and pulled Yan Yanhong towards the backyard, "With your master's sword technique, I don't know how you can even talk about it. Come, come, I'll show you what a real sword technique for killing is."
Yan Yanhong's eyes lit up, and he followed Jin Banhua, "The Life-Taking Thirteen Swords?"
Jin Banhua glanced at Hua Zhenzhen, who had been following her closely, and smiled as she nodded, "A sword technique even more powerful than the Clear Wind Thirteen Movements!"
