Yan Qianqian

However, Yan Wang had been notified by An Wang that he could take a day off tomorrow, so after finishing training, he hurried back to the courtyard to prepare for a bath.

At this time, Yan Wang knew nothing about the situation in the courtyard; he only felt that today's atmosphere was somewhat unusual. When he sat down and looked at An Wangfei, a hint of doubt inevitably arose in his heart.

"Mother Consort, why are so many people dining together today?" Yan Wang asked.

An Wangfei smiled slightly and explained slowly: "Today Jie'er's maternal grandfather and two uncles have come to visit together; they will stay here for a few days, so I specially called you back to meet them."

After hearing this, Yan Wang showed some surprise on his face. He was about to ask something else when he suddenly heard voices at the door. So he had to swallow the words on his lips and turn to look at the door.

Soon after, the Bai family members entered the Shantang. Seeing this, An Wangfei immediately stood up and went forward with a smile full of her face. She enthusiastically arranged the Bai family members in their respective seats one by one, then instructed the servants to serve the dishes.

After everything was properly arranged, An Wangfei then sat back in her seat and began introducing Yan Si and Yan Wang to the Bai family members. As for Yan Si, he had already seen the gifts sent by the Bai family, so after greeting them, he did not forget to thank the Bai family members.

The moment Yan Wang stepped into the courtyard, a young servant came forward like a gust of wind to report to him: "Young Master, the Bai family has sent you a generous gift!"

Hearing this, Yan Wang couldn't help but feel doubtful: the Bai family? Which household was this Bai family exactly? He quickly searched his memory for related information but found nothing.

At that time, Yan Wang did not investigate further, just gave a casual reply, and hurried off to bathe, after all, he was dusty and weary from the journey, and his whole body urgently needed the comfort of hot water.

However, now that he finally came face to face with the Bai family, a hint of regret inevitably arose in his heart—that gift, he hadn't even had a chance to look at it yet!

Nevertheless, Yan Wang was after all a person of proper etiquette; although he felt a bit regretful in his heart, he still sincerely thanked the Bai family after greeting everyone.

While speaking, a group of maidservants entered in single file like light butterflies and began serving the dishes.

Today's dishes were obviously carefully prepared; not only were the portions more abundant than usual, but the taste was unaffected, still as delicious as ever.

Seeing this, everyone ate heartily and to their full satisfaction. Especially Wei Shengsheng, who was completely without any reserve, ate with relish on her own, and did not forget to frequently offer food to Bai Yunlan and Bai Zihang.

In contrast, Bai Zi Ang seemed somewhat restrained; he seemed not very accustomed to such occasions, and kept silently burying his head in eating.

Seeing this, Wei Shengsheng thought for a moment, then quietly kicked Bai Zihang under the table, and while everyone was not paying attention, gave him a meaningful look.

Bai Zihang was so quick-witted that he immediately understood, hurriedly offered Bai Zi Ang a chopstickful of food, and did not forget to say with a smile: "Eldest Brother, eat more, this dish is delicious!"

Bai Zi Ang looked at Bai Zihang somewhat surprised, then immediately showed a shy smile, said thanks, and also began to slowly savor the dishes.

Just like that, a meal proceeded pleasantly in a warm and harmonious atmosphere, everyone chatting and laughing, full of joy.

When Yan Wang returned to the courtyard, he paused slightly, as if thinking about something. Then he called the young servant beside him and instructed: "Bring the gift sent by the Bai family over here."

The young servant replied, turned and walked into the room, and soon came out holding a box. Yan Wang looked at the box, feeling somewhat hesitant in his heart, after all, he didn't know what exactly was inside the Bai family's gift.

However, after thinking it over, he still decided to open it and take a look. After all, if someone asked tomorrow how the Bai family's gift was, he couldn't possibly know nothing about it.

So Yan Wang nodded to the young servant, signaling him to place the box on the table. The young servant carefully put the box down, then slowly opened the lid.

Yan Wang's gaze was immediately attracted by what was inside the box. Only to see a sword lying in the box, the sword blade flashing with cold light, and several gems inlaid on the hilt, making it look especially luxurious.

Yan Wang's eyes lit up at once; before the young servant even came forward, he himself stood up impatiently, stepped forward quickly, and took the sword from the box.

He held the sword in his hand, feeling its weight and texture. The weight of this sword was just right; it would not make one feel too heavy to wield, nor too light to exert force.

Yan Wang lightly waved the sword once and found its feel was very good, as if it perfectly matched his hand. He couldn't help but secretly praise that the person who forged this sword must be a master-level artisan.

Next, Yan Wang carefully examined the sword blade. He found that the blade of this sword was exceptionally sharp, even a bit sharper than his own sword.

To verify this, Yan Wang without hesitation pulled out one of his own hairs and placed it on the blade. Only to hear a "swish," that hair, like being blown apart by the wind, snapped into two pieces with a light touch.

Looking at the treasure sword in his hand, Yan Wang couldn't help but exclaim: "What a fine sword! This is truly a one-of-a-kind fine sword in the world!" His gaze was attracted by the cold light on the sword blade, as if he could see through the blade to the exquisite craftsmanship and outstanding quality.

Yan Wang was already impatient to test the power of this sword; he held the treasure sword, came to the center of the courtyard, and began to practice moves. Only to see his figure like lightning, sword shadows flashing, every strike carrying a fierce sword qi, as if it would tear the air apart.

Using only thirty percent of his strength, Yan Wang had already felt the great power of this sword; the fierce sword wind made his eyes light up.

He was loath to part with this sword, stroking the sword blade with one hand while praising with the other: "Such a fine sword, truly rare to see!"

Yan Wang curiously asked the young servant beside him: "Who sent this sword?" The young servant respectfully replied: "In response to the Adult, this sword was sent by the Second Young Mistress of the Bai family. It is said that the Second Young Mistress's father is the Wulin Alliance Leader."

Yan Wang nodded to indicate he knew. He secretly calculated in his heart that since he had received such a valuable gift from others, he must go to the Bai family tomorrow to properly thank them.

Next, Yan Wang's gaze fell again on the bottle in the young servant's hand; he asked curiously: "What is this?"

The young servant hurriedly explained: "Adult, these two bottles are gifts sent to you by the Eldest Young Master of the Bai family, called Buqi Dan. It is said that this kind of medicinal pill can treat internal injuries and replenish internal force."

Hearing this, Yan Wang immediately became interested and said: "Bring them over for me to see." Although he didn't know much about medicinal pills, the moment he opened the bottle, a rich medicinal fragrance came rushing to his nose; just smelling it made one feel comfortable all over. Yan Wang took the medicine bottle and carefully put it away.
