Chapter 288: Chapter 288 Laying Out the Formation to Recruit a Relative_1

The three of you gradually walked further down the path, and as your figures completely disappeared around the corner, a graceful figure slowly emerged from behind the bushes, holding a small notebook in her hands and jotting down a line of words...

When you pushed open the dorm room door, you found the silhouette of a girl. Upon closer inspection, huh? It was actually Wang Xiaohan.

Afterward, you heard Wei Shuxian’s voice, "Is Old Shu back yet?"

Wei Shuxian woke up!

"Glasses, you’re awake?"

You quickly entered the bedroom and saw Wei Shuxian just getting up from his chair and giving you a bow!

"Glasses, what are you doing?" you hurriedly helped Wei Shuxian to his feet.

You knew very well that for someone like Wei Shuxian, who hailed from a scholarly family, the courtesy he just showed was the highest form of respect he could demonstrate. As for kneeling, that was reserved for ancestors and parents.

"Old Shu, the detailed situation has already been explained to me by Little Kai and the rest. If it hadn’t been for your timely arrival this time, I’m afraid I’d be in the Underworld already," he said.

You patted Wei Shuxian on the shoulder and said with a smile, "We’re brothers, talking like that makes you sound like an outsider, you know!"

"I know, but my gratitude just now was from the heart," Wei Shuxian smiled, only to be pulled back down on his seat by Wang Xiaohan, who told him firmly, "You just began recovering, you can’t move around recklessly!"

"Alright, alright."

Compared to Wei Shuxian’s gentleness, Wang Xiaohan was a bit more direct, but in your eyes, the two of them seemed to make a good match.

You could tell that Wei Shuxian’s desperate dive not only saved Wang Xiaohan but had also captured her heart. Wang Xiaohan normally appeared cool and indifferent, someone who was very decisive.

But after all, she had a delicate and sensitive side typical of girls, and once she really fell for someone, she would never change her mind in this lifetime.

"Glasses, how are you feeling?"

You also sat down while Yang Kai and Liao Yong gathered around.

"Not too bad. After the medical equipment diagnosis, the doctor said my organs have fully recovered, and I don’t even have a scar on my body. Old Shu, you’re truly amazing. With my knowledge, I can’t figure out what method you used," he said.

As you poured yourself a glass of water and drank, you laughed and said, "That’s my secret technique, I can’t reveal it."

"Tch, acting as if it’s real," Yang Kai quipped, pursing his lips.

"I was just making a passing remark, Old Shu, you don’t need to mind it. But the reason I rushed back to the dorm is that I have something important to tell you," Wei Shuxian said.

Seeing Wei Shuxian’s serious expression, you nodded and asked, "What is it?"

"Do you remember that Young Marshall?"

"Young Marshall?" you frowned and immediately asked, "Are you talking about an inner disciple of Chu Sect?"

Wei Shuxian nodded, "Yes, he’s not only an inner disciple of Chu Sect but also one of the Four Elites of Chu Sect."

"Four Elites of Chu Sect? Who came up with such a tacky name?" Yang Kai immediately scoffed.

"Little Kai, don’t interrupt, what I’m discussing is very serious right now, it’s very important to both Old Shu and us."

Seeing Wei Shuxian looking so serious, Yang Kai stuck out his tongue and stopped the idle talk.

You looked at Wei Shuxian, "Glasses, tell me everything you know."

"Alright," Wei Shuxian nodded, pushed up his glasses, and said, "The Four Elites of Chu Sect are the four most powerful individuals with the strongest backgrounds among the inner disciples of Chu Sect. They are three males and one female. I won’t say much about the other three, let’s talk about Young Marshall. His real name is Cen Jing Hua, and he is the eldest legitimate son of the Cen Family, an established family from Yenjing."

"The Cen Family?" Hearing this family name, you frowned slightly.

"Old Shu, you know of them?"

"Mm, I know a bit, but I haven’t systematically looked into them. Continue."

Wei Shuxian took a sip of the hot water Wang Xiaohan had passed him, holding the cup in his palms, "According to the information I’ve got, Young Marshall’s grandmother is one of the high-ranking officials of Chu Sect with considerable power, thus Young Marshall has a group of followers within the sect, and he’s not lacking in strength."

"What else?" You knew full well that Wei Shuxian never spoke without purpose; every move he made was well thought out.

Wei Shuxian turned to look at you and said firmly, "You must already know from dealing with Qian Zihao that the Qian Family is a vassal of the Cen Family, and Qian Zihao is one of Young Marshall’s followers. This time his actions against us were a test from Young Marshall."

"I understand, Qian Zihao is just a watchdog."

"That’s exactly it. After I woke up, I contacted my family first and through special channels, I found out that Young Marshall, Cen Jing Hua, has already arrived in Yuhang."

"What’s he doing in Yuhang? It can’t be just to deal with Old Shu, can it?" Yang Kai, who was always talkative, couldn’t hold back and finally interjected.

Wei Shuxian shook his head slightly, "It’s not that simple. For Young Marshall, Old Shu is just an ant on the ground."

"Hey, wait, don’t use that word with me, I’m sensitive."

Hearing your words, the three of them couldn’t help but laugh out loud, with Yang Kai not letting go of the opportunity, "I never would have thought, Old Shu, that you would have sensitive words too."

You shrugged and said with a smile, "Can’t help it, I was born with a rebellious streak. Since childhood, except for my mom, no one has really bullied me. It’s always been me bullying others, smashing their windows."

Wei Shuxian pushed his glasses up and continued, "According to what I’ve gathered, the Luanfeng Pavilion has been making movements lately."

"What kind of movements?" Suddenly, you thought of Wu Qiyi having to return today to see her grandmother, and she didn’t specify the reason—probably related to what Wei Shuxian was about to say.

Wei Shuxian hesitated somewhat.

Immediately, Yang Kai nudged Wei Shuxian a bit, "Glasses, just spill it, what are you playing at with these riddles?"

Then Wang Xiaohan promptly slapped Yang Kai’s arm and glared at him ferociously, "He’s a patient!"

While Yang Kai was retracting his hand, Wei Shuxian turned to you and began, "The current pavilion master of Luanfeng Pavilion is planning to set up an array for match-making."

"Set up an array for match-making?" The moment you heard these four words, your brows knitted together tightly!

"What does that mean?" You pressed for more details.

"I don’t know the specifics, but I heard that the pavilion master of Luanfeng Pavilion has sent out invitations to all family sons in China aged between eighteen and twenty-eight, clearly stating that it’s to find a match for her granddaughter," Wei Shuxian continued, taking out an invitation with gold edging from his pocket.

You took the invitation from Wei Shuxian’s hands, glanced at it briefly, then closed your eyes; the scene of having lunch with Wu Qiyi in the cafeteria was vivid in your mind.

Looking back on it now, you realized that Wu Qiyi’s expression was indeed a bit different than usual.
