Silent Crown Chapter 474: son-in-law and father-in-law
"For example, you, Ye Qingxuan."
In the silence, Yunlou Qingshu smiled and threw another trump card.
He slapped Ye Qingxuan on the shoulder, with a full expression of relief: "You are much better than the idiot of the prince, much better than anyone. Don't you think so?"
"Mr. Yunlou, you look at me too much."
Ye Qingxuan's expression is indifferent: "To be ugly, I'm just an Anglo thug. Even if I have a reputation after becoming a musician, I still have no connection with real power and power."
"Don't belittle yourself, young man."
Yunlou Qingshu said indifferently: "You are only nineteen years old this year? For more than half a year, you have broken through from an ignorant apprentice to an intervention-level powerhouse, holding the Nine Heavens Ring in your hand. It’s a magical weapon, with the secret inheritance of an unknown number of schools, and a heavy weapon like the Sage’s Stone.
Ye Lanzhou, the man of great rebellion, is your father. Mr. Bach’s only disciple, Wolfflute, is your good friend. Maxwell regards you as a heir to his mantle. Angru admits that you are their sword bearer and the future shadow minister. , The top person in charge of the fifth department. The Silent Organization spares no expense to recruit you and make you one of them. Even the core of the future cardinal, Constantine praises you very much. The Charles, who just seemed inconspicuous, also regarded you as more important than his own life...
As far as Angelu is concerned, you are the mainstay of the future, and Lancelot wants you to return to the family in his dreams. Not to mention Her Royal Highness Mary who has a deep love for you.
Wait for you to officially take the position, you will be the first uncrowned king to hold the sword in the stone, the fifth sector and the Lancelot armor in one hundred years...
As far as Dongfang is concerned, you are the well-deserved Patriarch of the Ye family. I don't know how many people are looking forward to your return to the East. Waiting for you to pass the test of the Dragon Blood Path, you will be a noble prince, equal to me, with a boundless future..."
Yunlou Qingshu stared at Ye Qingxuan, as if looking at Liangcai Meiyu, a priceless treasure: "Do you think in this world, how many people are worthy of you in terms of talents, connections and origins?"
"That's it."
Ye Qingxuan raised eyebrows slightly: "If it weren't for the reminder of my husband, I would have never found myself so noble. Unfortunately, since I have a bright future, why do you think I will marry Bai Xi?"
"Will you let her marry someone else?"
Yunlou Qingshu asked back.
Ye Qingxuan was silent.
Yunlou Qingshu smiled happily and poured wine for Ye Qingxuan.
"Ye Qingxuan, look, you care about her."
He whispered softly in the ear of this boy, his voice hoarse, like a ghost: "Rather than giving my daughter to someone who doesn’t love her as a plaything, why don’t I find someone who is willing to give everything for Bai Xi? What about a good man?"
Ye Qingxuan sneered: "Not only for Bai Xi, but also for you, right?"
"Ye Qingxuan, you are almost 20 years old, why don't you look like a man?"
Yunlou Qingshu regretfully shook his head, got up, seemingly drunk, looked around the empty and luxurious restaurant, stared at the noisy night view outside the window, and smiled mockingly:
"Why don't you dare to face your own sex, Ye Qingxuan? Men just want to hold the things they love in their palms!"
"Whether that thing is a beauty, rights, wealth, or a country. If it does not belong to you, then what is the meaning of your love for it? Do you really bear the heart and watch Bai Xi marry A bald, fat old man?"
The voice was like a whisper from the devil.
Yunlou Qingshu walked behind Ye Qingxuan and gently pressed his shoulders with both hands.
He still smiled gracefully, but there was alcohol and a hint of madness in that smile, and his voice became like he came from purgatory:
"She is only nineteen years old this year, Ye Qingxuan. So young and so cute, holding your hand will make you shy and tremble, sweet and intoxicating.
You paid so much for her, she should belong to you!
Think about it, if you weren't there, that white and tender body would be pressed underneath by an old man with a disgusting face to play with, until his tears dries up and he was dressed up as a doll at home..."
Ye Qingxuan was silent, without saying a word.
But under his long white hair, his complexion is green, and there is an angry moonlight in his eyes:
"Mr. Yunlou, just enough to stop..."
"Just enough?"
Yunlou Qingshu was amused, "Where do you think this is? Ye Qingxuan, this is the holy city. Do you know what kind of monsters look like after taking off their uniforms?
Have you ever seen how they play with women? After they get tired of playing, I am afraid they will call friends, three people, five people, and even..."
"I said, enough!"
Ye Qingxuan growled low.
A cold moonlight phantom rose from the void.
In an instant, the moonlight swept across the void like a sword.
Six ripples suddenly appeared in the sea of ether, but they were forcibly crushed by the moonlight while they were still brewing.
In the silence, a series of crackling sounds sounded from between the two of them. Two powerful forces suddenly burst out of nothingness, solidifying the world and distorting reality.
In an instant, two completely different music theories collided in one place, and they fought shortly and intensely.
Distorted reality from the material world, and then rises into the etheric sea, creating violent winds and waves. Before causing the holy city realm, he quietly turned the fight into the dark.
The frantic confrontation in the deepest part of the etheric sea set off aftermath. The Moonlight Swords crisscrossed, and the blockers were invincible, breaking through 16 consecutive interceptions, pushing the opponent into a passive defense position.
It's just that the opponent is obviously a scepter-level figure. Even if Yunlou Qingshu is the source, he can still move forward and retreat freely and ensure the safety of Yunlou Qingshu, even if he fought against Ye Qingxuan thousands of meters away.
The struggle in the etheric sea was fed back to reality, and only a series of sharp sounds were heard. Under the terrifying aftermath of nature interference, stone bricks, walls, and crystal chandeliers shattered one after another.
The table melted into mud, but the tablecloth became as hard as iron, the wine glass vaporized in an instant, and the red wine in the glass solidified into a foul-smelling gum...
When the short and stern scream stopped abruptly, Ye Qingxuan's fingers had already been pressed on Yunlou Qingshu's neck.
On Yunlou Qingshu's body, the etheric fluctuation exudes an aura of fury, but due to Yunlou Qingshu's comfort, he can't bear it.
That person never thought that Ye Qingxuan, who is known as the promising future, is now so high...
In the moment just now, Ye Qingxuan pressured people purely. Xiao Yuan moved the Ether Sea and forcibly destroyed his defenses attached to Yunlou Qingshu.
Just use the sage's stone to make an iron ball to hit people, which is violent!
Now, Ye Qingxuan only needs a movement of his mind and a heart sound to urge him to turn the princes of the Yunlou into a mass of rotten flesh from the inside out. That person did not dare to move anymore, dare not take such a risk.
"Calm down, young man, calm down."
Yunlou Qingshu seems not to feel his own situation, no fear:
"Do you think I'm like that kind of shameless person? Don't worry, I am her father. How could I let this happen? You won't let this happen, right? ?"
"You are right in one sentence, Mr. Yunlou Qingshu."
Ye Qingxuan released his finger and said blankly: "I have paid so much for her, so she doesn't belong to you anymore.
——No matter what kind of hole cards you have, what kind of plans you have. I hope that before you leave the holy city, you will not appear in front of Bai Xi...
Otherwise, I swear, I will make you very unhappy. "
"You learned so fast, Ye Qingxuan."
Yunlou Qingshu patted his shoulder approvingly: "You really did not disappoint me, you have more value than I thought. If possible, I even want to marry you even Chaoyue... It’s just that you won’t listen to anything I say now, right?"
He stretched out his hand and shed his torn coat. The servant hiding in the dark stepped up and respectfully changed him into a new robe, as clean as new.
Still majestic and luxurious, without sacrificing grace.
"It's too early, I should go. There is a cardinal who will meet me tonight on behalf of the Holy City."
He looked at his pocket watch and sighed softly: "Unexpectedly, the first unhappy meeting between father-in-law and son-in-law would end here.
Take care, Ye Qingxuan. "
He glanced at Ye Qingxuan for the last time, turned and left, and the door suddenly closed behind him.
-
Outside the door, in the silent night breeze, the luxurious car drove to the side of the road, and the servants knelt on the ground to welcome Yunlou Qingshu's return.
Keyunlou Qingshu stopped at the door, but turned around and looked to his side.
On the side of the road, Abraham sat alone on the fire hydrant, smoking a pipe with his head down. His clothes are not good-looking, and he wears a hat of a few years. He doesn't look like a musician, but like an old tramp.
Yunlou Qingshu stood beside him, holding a cigarette:
"Can I borrow a fire?"
"Of course."
Abraham raised his hand, rubbing his steel fingers, and a flame burst out and lit the cigarette. Yunlou Qingshu looked at Abraham's face with the light of fire:
"To be honest, I've heard of you for twenty years. Abraham's name is like Leiguaner, and I have been admired for a long time."
"Thank you."
Abraham shook his head: "Those are all things in the past. I just want to be a teacher now, but you want to take away my students. So, don't say anything that I admire for a long time."
"No way."
Yunlou Qingshu helplessly shook his head: "If you are a father, you must be stricter."
"What a coincidence, so am I."
Abraham said calmly: "Bai Xi is a very good girl, well-behaved and cute. So, she doesn't like you, it must not be because you are harsh, but because you are not good to her."
Yunlou Qingshu was silent.
In the face of many words, he always has room for defense, but in the face of Abraham's straightforward logic, he doesn't know how to respond.
He sighed: "Mr. misunderstood me too much."
"Do you know?"
Abraham pinched the pipe, knocked off the soot on the fire hydrant, put it in his pocket, and looked back at Yunlou Qingshu: "There was a moment..."
He said:
"—I really want to kill you."

When Ye Qingxuan found Bai Xi, Bai Xi was sitting on a swing in the backyard of the embassy.
Ye Qingxuan looked at her back in silence. After a long time, she lowered her head and wiped her face bitterly, then turned her head, her eyes looked red, but she was not sad anymore.
"Have you beaten him?" Bai Xi asked.
Ye Qingxuan nodded, "I hit it."
"Did you win?"
Ye Qingxuan thought for a while and shook his head: "I didn't lose."
"Oh."
Bai Xi was a little frustrated. Soon, she stood on tiptoe and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, if you work hard, you will win next time."
"En."
Ye Qingxuan nodded and laughed: "Let's go back, the teacher and Charles are very worried about you."
Bai Xi nodded obediently, tugged at his cuff, and followed behind him.
But Ye Qingxuan paused and took her hand.
Her hands are cold, slender and small, holding them in her hands, making people afraid to use force, for fear that they will melt in her palms like ice and snow.
Bai Xi's body stiffened.
"Cousin?"
She raised her head to look at Ye Qingxuan, but Ye Qingxuan walked in front, against the light, she couldn't see Ye Qingxuan's expression clearly.
"Bai Xi..."
"Huh?"
"Will you follow your father back?"
Bai Xi smiled and shook his head: "No."
"Really?"
Bai Xi nodded vigorously, "Really."
"Hmm."
Ye Qingxuan lowered her head and squeezed her hand, as if smiling:
"That would be great."

A few days later, the holy city is still snowing, endlessly.
Tomorrow is Winter Veil Festival, most shops are closed, and pedestrians on the road are scarce. The sound of falling snow covered the hustle and bustle, making this steel city quiet and serene.
Ye Qingxuan let the snowflakes fall on his body, stepped on the soft falling snow and made a crunching sound.
Until the end, he pushed open the antique door, and the heat from the fireplace rushed into his face.
The decoration in the antique shop is low-key and comfortable. The fireplace is burning and exudes the scent of pine. Perhaps spice is sprinkled in it, and it emits a faint scent, which makes the mind quiet.
In the midst of those ancient precious agitation, some people were sitting on the sofa with a stall under their bodies, burying their heads in writing something in the book.
"Boss, you are so hard to find a broken place."
Ye Qingxuan stomped at the door, shook off the snowflakes from his body, and walked into the room.
Hermes waved his hand: "You are finally here. I thought you would be back a few days ago.
I’m still a bit busy here, just sit down, there is wine in the cabinet, and pour it yourself. "
Ye Qingxuan stood by the sofa and looked at him for a long time before confirming that this guy was the unscrupulous boss he knew.
When I saw him two days ago, he was still a bloated fat man, but now he is extremely thin, or, in other words, restored to his original thinness and grace.
Now he looks like a middle-aged nobleman in his thirties, with a handsome face, pale skin, and faintly revealing the original feminine beauty, which is indistinguishable between men and women.
It's like the first time we met, the blond boy grew up in a short time, and he was very different from his obese appearance.
"Boss, what medicine did you take?"
Ye Qingxuan frowned: "You have lost at least 50 catties, right?"
"Shh!"
Hermes waved impatiently, holding a pen in his hand, and quickly writing something on the notebook in his hand. Ye Qingxuan looked over and only felt pain in his eyes.
With his meager knowledge of mechanical engineering and alchemy, he can only see that Hermes is drawing a design of a behemoth. What he sees is only a part of it, but it is too complicated. It's hard to understand.
He can understand some of the part about alchemy, but he can only perceive that some of the music theories are exactly the same as his own perception. The shadow of Ye's ladder is mixed in it, but he can't understand its actual function and features. .
He tried to deduct by interpretation, but before the deduction started, the overwhelming changes and music theory almost made his eyes dark. At that moment, he only saw a huge and vague structure, as if hidden in In the mist...
"What is this?" He couldn't help but lose his voice.
"Secret."
Hermes smiled weirdly, wrote down the last formula in a pen urgent book, and then closed the notebook in his hand: "I will show it to you after two days of writing. You will be scared.
Unexpectedly, after the alchemy and forging that I planned to say goodbye, I was able to sprout such a terrible idea that would definitely change the world, Ye Qingxuan. "
"...Everyone wants to change the world. This is not surprising."
Ye Qingxuan shook his head, wondering what medicine was selling in the Hermes bottle, so he simply stopped worrying about it: "Why did you lose so much suddenly?"
"——Of course it depends on fitness and exercise, is it still on diet?"
Hermes whistled: "Good fitness habits are the guarantee of a healthy body, Ye Qingxuan, would you like me to give you a pair of running shoes? Running is very healthy!"
Run? Run away! You run back and forth from the holy city to Anglo every day to be so exaggerated, right?
Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but slander, took off his coat, hung it on a hanger, and then sat down opposite him unceremoniously: "My intention, boss, you must understand."
"Yunlou Qingshu?"
Hermes seems to have known it a long time ago, and is not surprised: "Have you seen that guy? It seems that he has given you a lot of pressure. After all, it is the son-in-law who meets the father-in-law. It is normal to have pressure. "
"Boss, can you stop talking about it?"
Ye Qingxuan sighed: "If you really want that kind of father-in-law, it's better to wipe your neck as soon as possible. I would rather donate all my things to street children than let that kind of **** get a dime from my hands. Money~IndoMTL.com~Oh, it seems that Weng and son-in-law are not in harmony and the house is unstable."
Hermes squeezed his chin and smiled strangely: "Then you came to me, it seems that you want to collect some black material from your father-in-law?"
"That guy, what is his hole card?"
Ye Qingxuan asked bluntly: "He came to the holy city with such confidence and wanted to kill his daughter when he came to see him. What on earth does he have to rely on?"
"Well, you asked a good question."
Hermes squeezed his chin and said pretentiously: "This will start from when Yunlou Qingshu was born 46 years ago..."
"Please, be brief."
Ye Qingxuan really didn't want to listen to his tirades.
"Okay, okay."
Hermes shrugged helplessly: "Then I will start from 23 years ago..." (to be continued~^~)
