Chapter 11: Please bring out the family genealogy.
When Xu An heard that Xu Tianyi also had the surname Xu, he had some guesses in his mind, but he did not show them.
But he didn't pay much attention to it; he was more concerned about the poor young lady.
Gu Qinghan was wearing a Han Ying Su Xue dress, the hem of which perfectly showcased her figure. She exuded a cool and refreshing aura, with a faint fragrance of plum blossoms.
The longsword in her hand is beautifully designed and adorned with plum blossoms, and her skin is exquisite and charming.
Her appearance is gentle and serene, and she is exceptionally beautiful.
Standing out from the crowd, she is so striking that any man who sees her will be drawn to her.
Furthermore, she was impeccably polite and possessed an extraordinary air about her.
She also possessed a unique dashing spirit characteristic of female warriors. He couldn't discern her cultivation level, as he was only a martial artist himself, but he could still sense the aura of true energy emanating from her.
Compared to her, the three Xu family women behind her were completely outshone in terms of looks, figure, and temperament.
How could Xu An not be tempted?
Gu Qinghan, however, remained completely indifferent, while Xu An, sitting opposite her, was handsome and accomplished, even a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations.
He possesses a refined demeanor, is neither arrogant nor humble, and is composed and polite; he appears to be quite outstanding.
Compared to Liu Lian, whom he had met, he was far inferior.
Liu Lian, a young master of the Liu family of Runzhou, one of the five great families of the Wuji Empire.
Eighteen years old, peak Martial Spirit! About to enter the Grandmaster realm!
Moreover, starting at the age of fifteen, after his father's death, Liu Lian single-handedly supported the entire Liu family.
Now he is the legitimate head of the Liu family, and has been recognized by the imperial court.
After meeting Liu Lian, how could Gu Qinghan possibly have any interest in a scholar from a small county town?
At first, Gu Qinghan also looked down on Xu Tianyi, or even ignored him.
If Xu Tianyi hadn't defeated her, she would never have had much of a verbal exchange with him.
You can't talk about ice with a summer insect!
This is her motto.
Not to mention, she is the eldest princess of the Wuji Empire, and would have no interest in Xu An, a mere legitimate son of a small family.
Unless, he possesses a talent that can convince himself otherwise.
Just like Xu Tianyi defeated her, at the time it seemed like she had won, but all three of them knew in their hearts that she had lost to Xu Tianyi.
At this moment, after hearing Gu Feixue's introduction, Xu An immediately bowed.
"Greetings, Miss Qinghan..."
Gu Qinghan simply nodded, just like a mother would: "Greetings, Young Master Xu..."
Xu An was somewhat disappointed and felt a little frustrated.
Within the county, he was the object of many young ladies' desire for marriage.
Even in the capital city, many medium-sized families spoke highly of themselves.
But now, a businessman's daughter dares to look down on me like this, what gives her the right!
His already impure heart began to darken.
He sat down without showing any outward expression, but Gu Feixue and the others could tell that he was somewhat displeased.
I couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Is this all the composure he has?
The head of the Xu family was also somewhat disappointed, but he quickly grasped the key point.
"Master, are you saying that you were attacked by bandits while passing through Qingniu Mountain?"
Gu Feixue nodded: "They were just bandits; they've all been killed. Patriarch Xu, there's no need to worry..."
Xu Qian's lips twitched. What do you mean by "kill them all"?
You damn well better translate this: what does "kill all" even mean?
Those were bandits led by martial arts masters, and they had undergone a certain level of professional training; they weren't just any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
With only twenty or so of you, how do you think you can withstand bandits?
He couldn't quite gauge Gu Feixue's strength. In his eyes, Gu Feixue was probably stronger than him, around the late stage of a Great Martial Master, or at most a Martial Spirit.
But even if they were martial spirits, it's impossible for them to kill all the bandits of Qingniu Mountain under siege, right?
He couldn't understand it at all and turned to look at Xu Tianyi.
"This young master Xu Tianyi also shares the surname Xu, what a coincidence..."
He began to ponder: This Xu Tianyi, a third-rank martial arts master, charged into the bandit army's formation?
Are you kidding me?
He's incredibly skilled at not getting instantly killed.
Xu Tianyi immediately stood up: "Patriarch Xu, I have come here to find out if I am a member of the Xu family of Anlu. If I am, I wish to be recognized as a member of the family."
These words surprised everyone present.
Xu Qian hadn't expected that the other party had come to acknowledge their ancestors.
"Oh? Do you have any credentials from the Xu family?"
Xu Tianyi shook his head.
The original owner had no proof whatsoever, and all her memories were from within the village. She was then abducted and sold into the Qian family.
So Xu Tianyi began to recount his background and his speculations.
Whether the other party acknowledges you or not doesn't matter.
Whether there are dates or not, you have to give them a good whack.
After the explanation, Xu Qian saw Gu Feixue sipping her tea and realized that Gu Feixue was backing him up.
He immediately said, "In that case, I will take out the family genealogy and investigate thoroughly."
He already knew the answer in his heart.
The other party is someone who slipped through the net many years ago.
Fourteen years ago, I did this in order to seize the position of head of the Xu family and for the future of the Xu family.
Having actively killed a large number of his own kind, Xu Tianyi must have been a descendant of one of the clansmen who had sided with the Crown Prince back then.
Or rather, he was sent out even earlier.
Everyone began to wait on their own.
Xu Tianyi actually became a little nervous.
Xu An's expression was unfriendly.
You should know that he is the only man in the Xu family!
If Xu Tianyi were to join the Xu family now, wouldn't he have an extra brother out of nowhere?
What will happen to my family's assets when the time comes?
After a long time, the family genealogy was brought out.
A family genealogy is not actually a single book.
The deeds of the Xu family are all recorded in it.
There were about a dozen boxes.
Xu Qian, familiar with the process, quickly found the family genealogy record from twenty-one years ago.
I began to carefully look through it.
