Feng Ziyang, despite his strong dislike for Chen Fan, had no choice but to welcome him.
"Hmph..."
He could only choose to endure.
How frustrating!
"Ahem..."
"Gentlemen, please come in!" Feng Ziyang made a gesture.
Chen Fan and Ming San did not stand on ceremony at this point,
After all, the respect they commanded was hard-won!
Of course, Ming San was riding on Chen Fan's coattails.
"Grandfather, how can you ignore me?" Feng Yu, bound on the ground, was furious and struggled in vain.
Feng Ziyang finally noticed his granddaughter and then said to Chen Fan, "See, my granddaughter..."
His tone carried a hint of deference.
Chen Fan uttered two words, "Whatever..."
Only then did Feng Ziyang have someone untie the whip from his granddaughter.
Upon regaining her freedom, Feng Yu
rushed directly towards Chen Fan,
intent on washing away the humiliation of earlier.
But as soon as she neared Chen Fan, she was stopped by Feng Ziyang.
He reprimanded her with annoyance, "A guest has arrived, what are you doing?"
"Calm down!"
Feng Yu, indignant, exclaimed, "Grandfather, this fellow just knocked me to the ground, and you're acting as if nothing happened?"
Feng Ziyang thought to himself, though I'm extremely displeased, this opponent is simply too formidable!
As the saying goes, when it's time to bow your head, you must bow your head.
Feng Ziyang scowled and said, "What do you mean 'knocked to the ground'? That was you two sparring! Now you know you're outmatched!"
"Alright, alright, go back inside quickly!"
At these words, Feng Yu was rendered speechless, frozen in place.
Damn it...
What in the world!
When did her grandfather become so accommodating?
For a moment, she thought her grandfather had a change of heart!
"Grandfather..."
"Enough, don't say another word!" Feng Ziyang retorted irritably, rolling his eyes. "If you say any more, I'll cut off your allowance!"
"You..." Feng Yu, pouting with anger, declared, "Grandfather, you're bullying me!"
"Alright, hurry along!"
Unhappy, Feng Yu shot Chen Fan a fierce glare before stomping away.
Ming San was also taken aback, never expecting Feng Ziyang to scold Feng Yu on Chen Fan's account, especially considering Feng Yu was his cherished darling.
At this moment, he recalled Chen Fan's earlier words: no matter how eccentric a person is, when faced with a strong individual, they become much easier to communicate with. Now, it truly proved to be the case!
Good heavens...
It's still Chen Fan who makes the difference!
Thus, Feng Ziyang ushered the two of them into his private study.
Feng Ziyang addressed Chen Fan cordially, "Young friend, let's discuss matters here."
"I presume it's not a trivial matter!"
It had to be said, Feng Ziyang was remarkably accommodating now!
Chen Fan nodded and directly produced the dragon-shaped jade pendant, saying, "I'd like you to examine this jade pendant and tell me if it has any special properties."
"After all, you are an expert in this field!"
The moment Feng Ziyang saw the dragon-shaped jade pendant, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "This jade is ancient, of excellent quality, and would certainly fetch a good price!"
Chen Fan responded with a touch of exasperation, "Do you know the origin of this jade?"
Feng Ziyang replied, "Judging by its appearance, it bears some resemblance to the Dragon Guarding Jade of the legendary Dragon Guarding Clan. However, it's all hearsay, and I can't be certain..."
