109: Second Young Master, calm down!
Huangfu Yunyan, seeing that Huangfu Jing had taken the bait, spoke with feigned fear.
"I can tell the Eldest Young Master about this, but the Eldest Young Master must remain calm. If you leave without saying a word and the Second Young Master returns, how will I explain it? He will surely kill me."
Huangfu Rui said furiously, "Where I go is none of his business!"
"Speak up, now!"
Seeing this, Huangfu Yunyan hurriedly said,
"I don't know much about this matter. The person who toyed with the Eldest Young Master at the city gate today is named Feng Ming. He is the Second Young Master of the Feng Family, and they have been fighting fiercely with the Huangfu Family over the Medicinal Pill business."
"It seems Lu An'an is together with Feng Ming, and he could marry her at any moment."
"What did you say?"
Huangfu Rui instantly flew into a rage; he was in no state of mind to realize that Huangfu Yunyan was saying these things to him on purpose!
Just a moment ago, she claimed she didn't know much, but now, she was practically telling him the color of Feng Ming's undergarments.
Unable to contain himself, Huangfu Rui immediately rushed out of the restaurant.
Huangfu Yunyan quickly followed. One after the other, Huangfu Rui ran in front while Huangfu Yunyan chased from behind.
As she ran, she shouted, "Eldest Young Master, you must not go toward the Hua Clan Merchant House! I saw Feng Ming and the others heading that way. It would be disastrous if you ran into them!"
Huangfu Rui was just worrying about where to find Feng Ming; upon hearing this, he immediately headed straight for the Hua Clan Merchant House.
A successful smirk appeared at the corner of Huangfu Yunyan's mouth as she quickened her pace to follow.
Not long after they left, they ran into Huangfu Jing, who was returning from buying wine.
Seeing him, Huangfu Yunyan quickly spoke up, "Second Young Master, hurry, stop the Eldest Young Master!"
"He just forced me to tell him about Feng Ming, and I didn't dare refuse..."
In the heat of the moment, Huangfu Jing had no time to think, nor did he ponder the intent behind Huangfu Yunyan's words.
Seeing his elder brother's rage reaching the heavens, he immediately ran over.
"Brother! Calm down!"
"Father and the others have tried everything, and time and again they've been unable to do anything to Feng Ming. What's the point of you going? Besides, Luo Meng was also killed by Feng Ming." Huangfu Rui was like a furious lion, completely deaf to Huangfu Jing's words as he shoved him aside.
"Get lost!"
Huangfu Jing continued to advise him earnestly, "Brother, calm down. We are blood brothers; I wouldn't harm you."
Huangfu Rui laughed at those words.
"You have the nerve to call yourself my brother? I asked you to take good care of Lu An'an for me in Liumian Prefecture, yet you stood by and watched her flirt with Feng Ming."
"I don't have a brother like you!"
Huangfu Jing looked helpless. "Brother, I didn't want this either, but by the time I got there, they were already involved with each other."
"I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd be impulsive."
Huangfu Jing's explanation only made Huangfu Rui even more incensed.
"Heh, you have the nerve to say they were already involved? Then why didn't you kill him? Has my Anan already been defiled by Feng Ming?"
The mere thought of it made Huangfu Rui feel even more miserable with rage.
Huangfu Jing quickly guaranteed, "Brother, that definitely hasn't happened. Feng Ming is already married; unless they were wed, there's no way he would do such a thing."
"It's not that I wouldn't help you; it's just that I can't beat him... I simply couldn't kill him."
Huangfu Rui sneered at the response.
"You couldn't kill him because you're incompetent. Today, I'm going to kill him myself!"
"That bastard! A married man dares to flirt with my Anan? If I don't kill him, my name isn't Huangfu!"
Having said his piece, Huangfu Rui prepared to leave, but Huangfu Jing hurriedly tried to stop him.
In his fury, Huangfu Rui struck Huangfu Jing's chest with a palm, sending the latter stumbling back several steps before he could steady himself.
"Brother...!"
"Get out of the way! If you dare stop me again, don't blame me for disowning you as my brother!"
With those words, Huangfu Rui headed straight for the Hua Clan Merchant House.
Unable to stop him, Huangfu Jing stomped his foot in frustration, called for Huangfu Yunyan to join him, and followed... Inside the shop, Lu An'an had finally managed to send all the managers away. Seeing that Feng Ming and Uncle Zhong were still there, she walked over with a smile.
"Weren't you going to the Hua Clan Merchant House? Why haven't you left yet?"
Feng Ming smiled and said, "It's still early; I'll head over in a bit. What about you? Where are you planning to go?"
Lu An'an thought for a moment before saying, "I'll go home first. It's been a long time since I was back, so I should go see my father."
"But before that, I need to go to the Market. There are still many things for the shop that haven't been acquired. If I buy them sooner, we can open sooner."
Feng Ming nodded with a smile. "Anan, you really are my capable helper. I'm at ease with you handling things, but you must return early in the evening. Even though your father is the City Lord, one can never be too cautious."
Lu An'an blushed and nodded.
Uncle Zhong was very tactful and had already found an excuse to leave.
Feng Ming and Lu An'an walked out of the shop, chatting and laughing.
It just so happened that they were spotted by the furiously approaching Huangfu Rui.
Lu An'an said with a smile, "The Auction is about to start; you should hurry over!"
Feng Ming chuckled. "I didn't feel much back in Liumian Prefecture, but after being inseparable this whole journey, I'm actually a bit reluctant to part now."
"So, when do you plan on marrying me?"
Hearing this, Lu An'an's face instantly flushed red as she said in bashful indignation:
"It's not proper for a girl to bring such things up. Besides, my father might not necessarily agree; you should think about how to pass his test first."
Feng Ming nodded. "That is indeed a major matter. I'll have to find an opportunity to go see my Father-in-law."
Lu An'an's face turned even redder as she scolded playfully, "We're not even married yet, how is he your Father-in-law? How shameless!"
"I'm leaving, I won't talk to you anymore!"
With that, she turned and entered the Market.
Feng Ming watched her back and entered the Hua Clan Merchant House with a smile.
On the side of the street, Huangfu Rui saw this scene and was so angry his face and neck turned red.
Seeing that he didn't attack, Huangfu Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother, you really scared me just now. I'm glad you held back."
"This Feng Ming is not to be trifled with; we'd better plan carefully."
Huangfu Rui ignored him completely and walked straight into the merchant house.
"Brother, what are you going into the merchant house for?"
Huangfu Jing asked hurriedly.
Huangfu Rui said furiously, "To kill Feng Ming!"
Huangfu Jing's expression changed instantly upon hearing this.
He hurriedly signaled Huangfu Yunyan to follow while shouting:
"The Hua Clan Merchant House is even harder to deal with than the Feng Family! Brother, have you lost your mind? Do you want to die?"
At the same time, The Two Elders of Chi Mei, who were following closely behind, could only sigh helplessly as they saw Feng Ming enter the Hua Clan Merchant House.
"This kid really knows how to pick a spot. We wouldn't dare make a move inside the Hua Clan Merchant House. It looks like we can only wait for him to come out."
If it were anywhere else, they would have no problem barging in.
But the Hua Clan Merchant House was off-limits.
It simply wasn't a place that ordinary people could touch. Although Madam Hua lacked personal strength, she was incredibly wealthy.
Even if it was just a small branch in Qingyang City, the powerful experts stationed within were not ones even the Huangfu Family would dare to provoke lightly.
