Chapter 297: The Blockhead Yin Zhong

Seeing the look of sudden realization on everyone's faces, Duan Fengyun smiled to himself; this group of people was truly easy to fool.

As someone who had been through it all, Duan Fengyun noticed the light in the eyes of Yin Zhong and Men Jianqiu as they looked at each other, and he laughed heartily in his heart:

"I originally thought that with a blockhead like Yin Zhong, it would be very troublesome for me to play matchmaker and tie the red thread myself.

I never expected that fools have their own good fortune; Yin Zhong and Men Jianqiu have hooked up so quickly, it really is unexpected."

Seeing that Yin Zhong had indeed hooked up with Men Jianqiu, Duan Fengyun smiled; it seemed everything could still proceed according to plan.

Duan Fengyun took several one-hundred-tael banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Sha Dage, saying:

"Sha Dage, take this.

A real man always has places where he needs to spend money; you take this money.

If you don't need to spend it, then just treat it as your nest egg for getting married and starting a family.

If you don't have money, I reckon your future father-in-law won't let you take his daughter away.

Master Men, am I right?"

Men Laotou completely agreed with Duan Fengyun's point of view; he nodded and said:

"Boss Qin is right.

If a man doesn't even have the ability to support a family, then who would be willing to marry their daughter to him?

So Sha Dage, you must learn sword forging well from me; only when you have a specialized skill can you go and pursue your happiness."

Men Laotou did not notice at all that Yin Zhong and Men Jianqiu were already exchanging amorous glances, and he kept helping Duan Fengyun speak.

Dou Dou, who had long since seen that something was off between Men Jianqiu and Yin Zhong, wore a smile; it seemed that this Men Laotou would be sold later and still end up counting the money for others.

Yin Zhong looked at the money Duan Fengyun handed over, but pushed it back:

"Boss Qin, I appreciate your kindness, but Master Men just said it too: a man should rely on his own specialized skills to support his family.

I want to build my family through my own efforts, so I cannot accept this money."

Seeing that Yin Zhong had actually returned what could have been thousands of taels in banknotes, Men Laotou's face looked as if he had eaten a dead mouse.

He really did not expect Yin Zhong to return this money; he knew how many weapons he would have to forge to earn that much.

Seeing Yin Zhong, who was self-reliant, Duan Fengyun smiled and said:

"Alright, since that's the case, then you should follow Master Men and learn sword forging well.

If you have any needs, please feel free to come to my house and find me."

After Duan Fengyun finished speaking, he said to everyone:

"I must take my leave now, as the little one at my house should be waking up soon.

If they don't see me and Yueya later, they will likely make a huge fuss, and it wouldn't be good to wake the guests then."

After finishing, Duan Fengyun left while holding Yueya's hand; before leaving, Duan Fengyun turned his back to the room and said:

"Young Master Tong, your brother, Brother Tong Xin, drank a lot of wine at my house last night; would you like to come and take a look?"

"Tong Xin?

Tong Xin is at your house?"

After hearing this, Tong Bo immediately pulled Dou Dou along and followed Duan Fengyun.

Watching the group leave, Men Laotou pointed at Yin Zhong with a look of frustration that he wouldn't improve, saying:

"You really are a Sha Dage.

If you didn't want this money just now, you could have taken it and given it to me; I would have kept it for you.

When you get married in the future, I would just take it out for you.

You let a duck that flew right into your hands run away; you really are a Sha Dage."

Yin Zhong scratched his head, standing awkwardly on the spot, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing this, Men Jianqiu stood up to defend him:

"Dad, can you stop obsessing over money all day long? Sha Dage is right; what is wrong with him wanting to build his own family with his own two hands?

I really admire Sha Dage's self-reliant attitude."

Men Laotou pointed at Men Jianqiu and Sha Dage, saying:

"You two are still young and don't know the cold and warmth of the Human Realm; when you understand the importance of money in the future, you will understand what I, this old man, said today.

Forget it, forget it, I won't say any more.

Sha Dage, go change your clothes; this old man will teach you how to forge swords now!"

Upon hearing that he could start learning sword forging, Yin Zhong immediately turned and ran to his room to change into the sword-forging clothes that had already been prepared.

As for Tong Bo and Dou Dou, they had already followed Duan Fengyun to Duan Fengyun's home.

Seeing the exquisite little courtyard, Dou Dou smiled:

"I didn't expect Boss Qin to live in such a small courtyard; I wonder if Boss Qin is deliberately pretending to be poor or has other motives?"

Duan Fengyun shook his head and said:

"Miss Dou Dou, you are overthinking it.

This little courtyard is where I settled down with Yueya before I made my fortune.

Later, after earning some money, we found that we had already settled down here and couldn't bear to leave.

Besides, I like to have a drink or two in my spare time, and Master Men is one of my few drinking buddies, so I couldn't bear to leave."

Just as Dou Dou was about to speak again, Tong Xin walked out and said:

"Boss Qin, you are wrong.

That wasn't just a drink or two; you have a bottomless capacity.

My head is still spinning now; I won't dare to drink with you again in the future."

After finishing, Tong Xin looked at everyone with a smile.

Tong Xin, who had been fast asleep, sat up from the bed immediately upon hearing the crying of Xiao Duantian.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings before him, Tong Xin recalled carefully for a long time before remembering that he should be at the Qin Mansion; it seemed he had drunk quite a lot of wine last night and was then settled into this guest room.

Tong Bo looked at Tong Xin, who still smelled of wine, and said:

"Tong Xin, why are you here at Boss Qin's place?

And you drank so much wine; did you encounter some heartbreaking matter?"

Tong Bo's two silly questions did not count for much in the eyes of others, but in Tong Xin's heart, they were as sweet as honey.

The people in the world who cared about him most would always be his family, and he must also protect his loved ones well.

Watching Tong Xin fall into deep thought, Duan Fengyun opened his mouth to answer Tong Bo's question.

"Last night, a few petty thieves came to my home, and it was Brother Tong Xin who took action to help me out of the predicament.

To express my gratitude, I invited Brother Tong Xin to drink with me here.

I didn't expect that Brother Tong Xin and I would find each other such kindred spirits that a thousand cups would not be enough; both of us drank too much, so Brother Tong Xin rested here at my place.

Isn't that right, Brother Tong Xin!"

Duan Fengyun gently nudged Tong Xin, and only then did Tong Xin react.

Tong Xin smiled and said:

"As for the earlier events, Boss Qin is correct.

It is just that the latter part about us both being drunk is wrong; clearly, only I was drunk. Boss Qin, you truly have a massive capacity for liquor.

Big Brother, Boss Qin has a lot of fine wine here; you can taste some in a moment.

Don't you usually like drinking the most?

Today at Boss Qin's place, you can have a real feast."

Duan Fengyun pretended to be puzzled and said:

"Oh, Brother Tong Bo, you also like to drink?

Because you are Brother Tong Xin's big brother, I won't stand on ceremony with you; calling you Brother Tong Bo is no problem, right?"

Tong Bo nodded and said:

"No problem at all. Then I shall address you as Brother Qin Shuang.

It is just that I do not like to drink, so I have no way to accompany you and Tong Xin in drinking."

"Oh, that is truly a pity."

Duan Fengyun sighed.

Duan Fengyun had not expected that after Tong Bo was reborn, he would actually grow tired of drinking; originally, Tong Bo was a person who could not be happy without wine.

Tong Xin also sighed with a face full of regret and said:

"Big Brother, it is a pity you don't like to drink and don't have this good fortune."

Subsequently, Tong Xin turned to face Duan Fengyun and said:

"Brother Qin Shuang, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first.

However, I will come to visit often in the future, and I hope that by then, Brother Qin Shuang and your wife will not mind."

Duan Fengyun laughed:

"What are you saying? Those who come are guests.

I am a person who likes to make friends through wine the most; Brother Tong Xin, as long as you want to drink, just come to my place, and I will open my doors to welcome you."

Tong Xin smiled and then turned to leave.

And Tong Bo, seeing Tong Xin walk away, hurriedly spoke up:

"Brother Qin Shuang, then I will also leave first.

When I like to drink in the future, I will definitely come to find you for a drink."

Having finished speaking, Tong Bo took Dou Dou and went to chase after Tong Xin.

Watching the backs of the three as they left, Duan Fengyun smiled; they were truly a group of interesting people.

Meanwhile, inside Longze Villa, Tong Zhan and Yin Tianxue just opened their eyes; thinking of the madness of last night, Yin Tianxue could not help but blush a little.

But thinking that the two of them were now married, she let go of her reservations.

After Tong Zhan and Yin Tianxue finished tidying up, they arrived in the main hall.

They discovered that the main hall was completely empty; there was not a single person there.

Tong Zhan took Yin Tianxue to Yinxiu's room and shook his head upon seeing Yinxiu still fast asleep.

The Six Great Elders were in Meditation all day and night, and Yinxiu did nothing but sleep or research various medicinal herbs; this Longze Villa was too boring.

Yin Tianxue proposed:

"Since that is the case, let us go find Tong Xin and the others.

I feel that if you three brothers spend more time together, it will definitely awaken their memories."

Tong Zhan thought about it and felt that what Yin Tianxue said was reasonable, so he said in front of Yinxiu's room:

"Yinxiu, we are going out; take good care of yourself inside Longze Villa."

As soon as his voice fell, the door opened directly.

Yinxiu walked right up and grabbed Tong Zhan to ask:

"You are going out to play?

Take me with you!"

This was within Tong Zhan's expectations; this old urchin Yinxiu would definitely follow if he heard the words "go out to play."

Of course, this was also Tong Zhan's goal; taking Yinxiu out added an extra layer of security. If they encountered someone injured, having Yinxiu there was like having an extra Reassurance Pill.

Tong Zhan nodded and said:

"Then let us be off!"

Tong Zhan walked over to the Spirit Mirror and left a message for the Six Great Elders, informing them that he was taking Yin Tianxue and Yinxiu out and telling them not to worry.

The three of them left Longze Villa and rode their horses toward Sanhuafang.

This was Dou Dou's home, and Dou Dou must have brought Tong Bo here to rest.

In reality, after Tong Bo and Dou Dou came out with Tong Xin, the three of them walked back to the front of Yujian Villa.

Tong Xin still wanted to go to the Underground City to see what was going on; he felt that the key to recovering his memories lay within the Underground City.

The guards at Yujian Villa were currently under the command of Tie Feng; upon seeing Tong Bo and the others arrive and learning of their intentions, Tie Feng stepped aside and let the three of them enter.

Tong Bo and his companions were friends of Yin Tianqi and benefactors of Yujian Villa, so how could Tie Feng have any reason to stop them?
