h, old love affairs…Ye Wudao, under the pressure of a family marriage, married a woman he didn't love at all, only for the sake of his family's lineage. As for Ye Benkong, he chose to cultivate Taoism...Even if a man suffers from amnesia, he will not lose his true nature.

The two girls, second-generation rich kids, got angry and stood up abruptly. Each of them was tall and elegant, walking on the street would definitely turn heads with a rate exceeding ninety percent.

Especially that girl who is a bit taller, her figure is particularly good. The olive green short-sleeved shirt, it's already great if she can button it up.

She had arms exposed, not the kind of porcelain-like whiteness that you'd expect from a modern city girl, but rather a strong wheatish tone.

And when they stood up, their spears-like straight postures and the cold and menacing aura in their eyes made Li Nanfang immediately determine that they were active military personnel.

Duan Xiangning glanced over there, her hand hidden under the table secretly squeezed Li Nanfang's thigh and whispered, "In our family, regardless of male or female, as long as they reach the service age, they will all go to the army. Your wife served in the Southwest Military Region for three years before marrying you - how about it, did you have your eye on my two younger sisters"

"No, no. I'm just following them because I think they have a very unique aura. And the one sitting in the armchair is pretty cool too."

Li Nanfang chuckled and, taking the opportunity to spit out a bone while bowing his head, whispered, "How did she end up on the Han chair Was it during training or a mission that she got injured Such a pity."

Unfortunately

Ha.

Is that Duan Xiang

She wouldn't be sitting on that throne if it weren't for you.

However, she deserved it— Duan Xiangning smiled inwardly, and unconsciously looked at Duan Xiang. Just as she was about to say something, she saw the other look over too.

As soon as the two cousins locked eyes, Duan Xiang immediately turned his head towards the door.

Though their eyes only met for a fleeting moment, Duan Xiangning still saw the deep resentment in Duan Xiang's gaze.

Involuntarily, she shivered.

Finally figured out why I always felt a creepy sense of unease shortly after sitting down.

As it turned out, it was Duan Xiang constantly glancing this way.

"She was ruined by the South and already hated me to death. Now that she sees me bringing this southern daughter-in-law home, she must be shocked and even more resentful of me. Hee hee, is it necessary If you hadn't pushed me to the brink back then, you wouldn't have ended up like this today. Alas, we are sisters by blood, why must we hate each other so"

Suddenly, thinking of Duan Xiangning here, she felt a chill in her heart and immediately grabbed Li Nanfang's hand.

She just wanted to take Li Nanfang and recklessly rush out of the Duan family, running to a place where no one could find them, to enjoy their own little world for two.

Imitating the ancient way of life, rising with the sun and resting as it sets, Li Nanfang tends to the fields and hunts while her wife weaves cloth at home. They also raise a horse and over ten difficult ducks, plus two adorable little babies.

Rise to the challenge every day.

Every night, I fall asleep with the stars as my pillow.

No more burdens to bear, no more scheming and plotting with others, just a plain and simple life together until old age.

That is enough.

"What's wrong"

After she grabbed his hand tightly, Li Nanfang asked, somewhat puzzled.

His voice jolted Duan Xiangning out of her momentary immersion in a kind of utopian life: "Ah Ah. I'm, I'm fine. I just wanted to remind you to eat slowly, don't choke."

After waking up, Duan Xianger realized she couldn't leave.

It's not impossible.

Even if she left, how could she possibly live the kind of life she had envisioned in that instant

Is there any place in the world that hasn't been found by the Duan family

Let's not talk about the Duan family for now. Just speaking of Yue Zitou and Huaye Shen, who both have hearts set on Li Nanfang.

If Duan Xiangning dared to claim she had nothing to do with the Duan family anymore, those two women would definitely make sure she didn't know how she died.

So, she had to stay with the Duan family, rely on them, and catch Li Nanfang, in order to live a good life.

Li Nánfāng might not know, in that short instant, Duan Xiāngníng's psychology had so many changes.

He chuckled, just about to say something, when he heard Lao Duan on his left slowly say, "Everyone, please sit down."

Lao Duan personally greeted him, leading the son-in-law of the Duan family into the hall, where three tables of banquet had already been set up.

Even though it was the dead of night.

There's no rule saying you can't have a drinking party in the middle of the night, is there

During every festival and occasion, especially on the anniversary of Lao Da Duan's birthday, the whole Duan family would gather together.

No matter what kind of banquet it was, Old Duan would certainly be seated in the center.

Following the usual seating arrangement, Duan Erdai would sit to Duan Lao's left, while Duan Lao Si would be on his right.

Tonight at the banquet, Duan Erdai was still seated on Duan Lao's left, but the person sitting to his right was Li Nanshan and Duan Xiangning.

Dan Xiangning's parents sat below their daughter and "son-in-law".

As for the couple of Lao Wu and his wife, they sat below Duan Erdai and across from Li Nanfang and his wife.

Although their position at the banquet was usurped by their daughter and son-in-law, Lao Si and his wife remained radiant throughout.

Especially the fourth family, frequently provoking the fifth family with a raised eyebrow: "Well, is there anything else you have to say Why aren't you insulting my Xiang Ning as a useless waste and the villain who dragged your Duan Xiang into being crippled in front of everyone anymore Ha, the culprit who crippled Duan Xiang is right before your eyes. Do you have the guts to come up and strangle him"

Facing the cunning and successful Duan Lao Si couple, the Duan Lao Wu couple were filled with bitterness.

If it weren't for the old man's order that everyone had to attend the banquet, they certainly wouldn't even show their faces.

He could only awkwardly laugh and clink his cup, welcoming Li Nanguan, the son-in-law, home to meet Old Duan and Master Taishan.

Within the short half hour they were seated, they had prayed many times in their hearts, hoping the banquet would end soon, or that some accident would occur.

For example, Li Nanshan, who lacked aristocratic bearing and looked like someone from a humble background, would ideally choke on a bone while eating, thus meeting his end—

It seemed as if Heaven had heard their prayers, for Gao Changzheng and the others suddenly paid a visit to the Duan family.

And committed a grave offense, daring to lead armed men before Elder Duan.

The arrival of Gao Changzheng and others somewhat relieved the awkwardness between Lao Wu and his wife, and everyone's attention shifted to the doorway.

As mentioned before.

Old Duan encouraged everyone to fight amongst themselves to foster the next generation. However, once the Duan family faced external "invasion," they would immediately put aside their differences and unite against the common enemy.

This point can be seen from the fact that Lao Wu and his wife immediately frowned when they saw a man with a pistol appearing at the front door of the hall.

Among the crowd in the hall, only Li Nanfang and Old Duan remained composed.

Li Ren ZHA is a piece of trash and doesn't know anything.

He's just a newly arrived son-in-law, after all. When something happens to the Duan family, it's natural for the people of the Duan family to come forward and handle it. It has nothing to do with him.

Elder Duan remained calm and composed, his demeanor reflecting his age, status, and cultivation level which had reached a certain height. Of course, there was no need for him to show any favoritism towards Gao Changzheng and others who were simply carrying out orders.

Not only that, but when everyone in the Duan family stood up angrily, he calmly told them all to sit down: "Duan Fu, let Xiao Gao speak."

Duan Fu was the old housekeeper who had followed Duan Lao for decades, always by his side.

Yes, master.

Standing behind the Grand Tutor's chair, Duan Fu responded in a wooden tone and quickly walked to the door.

Outside the hall doors.

Although Gao Changzheng was acting on orders and knew this mission was no ordinary one, that once something was done, the Dali military's world would come crashing down, triggering a catastrophic earthquake – he'd rather run around the entire territory of Dali three times than bring his special forces team to meet Old Duan.

"Duan's second generation and others again slammed the table and smashed the benches. Gao Changzheng didn't care too much: "What are you doing to me If it weren't for your Duan family committing a serious offense, I, Lao Shouxing, wouldn't be so bothered to come to your house to cause trouble. If you have the guts, go find our superiors and leaders to show off your power. As long as our superiors tell us to withdraw, I won't even fart one, I'll just turn around and leave."

He cares about Lao Duan.

Whatever Duan Lao's attitude is.

Gao Changzheng was brought to the front of the hall by others. When he looked up and saw the old man, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

His legs trembled slightly.

Anyone who tries to offend Lao Duan will have this reaction when they see him.

People's reactions aren't because they are afraid of Lao Duan.

It is an honor!

There's no one who doesn't respect the Dali Duan clan, which survived the national war of the last century with only Mr. Duan, the sole survivor!

Duan Fu walked over, his voice still flat and emotionless: "Follow me."

"Yes."

Gao Changzheng readily agreed and strode onto the steps of the hall.

Following General Gao Changzheng on this trip to the Duanjia clan were not only seven or eight specially-trained soldiers armed with sidearms, but also several high-ranking officers.

One of them was clutching a notebook in their arms.

As Gao Changzheng stepped onto the platform, the others unconsciously lifted their feet— Duan Fu suddenly stopped and glanced back with a faint expression.

Though Duan Fuming was now white-haired and merely an elderly steward for the Duan family, in ancient times he would have been a servant who had signed a binding contract of servitude.

But when these officers were glanced at by him, they all shivered involuntarily.

It was as if I had been struck by an invisible thunderbolt.

Gao Changzheng, even more so, turned back with a roar. In a low voice, he sternly shouted: “All of you wait outside!”

Just the fact that Old Duan was willing to let him in already showed immense respect.

These people are simply too oblivious. They think just anyone can have the opportunity to get close to Lao San within three meters

If this were outside, with the amount of work they've put in, they would have died countless times already.

After being scolded by Gao Changzheng, these people finally came to their senses.

Before it could even form in my mind, the repeated instructions from our superiors flashed back: absolutely do not make Old Duan angry, or we'll all be out of a job.

Let them all come in. They're not a raging flood, and I'm not some fearsome tiger. Har har."

Mr. Duan smiled kindly, his seemingly cloudy eyes sweeping over the officer holding a notebook in his arms.

"Thank you, Lao Duan."

After Gao Changzheng expressed his heartfelt gratitude, he gave a subtle glance to the several attendants who had beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Several people tiptoed in, holding their breath as if they were walking on eggshells.

"Sit."

Mr. Duan spoke again.

"I dare not. In your presence, there is no place for us to sit."

Gao Changzheng hurriedly waved his hand and raised his head.

He only glanced at Lao Duan once before hastily averting his gaze.

To stare at an elder continuously is also suspect of being disrespectful.

Casually, Gao Changzheng looked at the person to the right of Elder Duan.

He was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Damn, who is this guy So young, and he's sitting beside Old Duan"

If this young man, who looked human but also like a dog, was just sitting here, as properly and attentively as the other younger members of the Duan family, Gao Changzheng wouldn't be so surprised.

What truly surprised him was that, even with the entire hall staring at them angrily, this fellow continued to hold a braised pork leg and eat it heartily.

He was eating with grease running down his chin, oblivious to everything around him, a complete mess.
