Chapter 346: Playing Innocent After Profiting
"Is my lady angry?"Seeing her walk away without saying a word, Duan Yunfei couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh lightly, quickly moving to catch up, "My lady, wait for me!"
Shen Qinglan walked past the Shen Mansion for a few steps before suddenly stopping.
"What’s wrong?" Duan Yunfei asked, looking at her in confusion.
She whispered, "I suddenly remembered, I promised Aunt and Aunt Mei to visit the Song Mansion with them later, so I’m not going to the back mountain!"
"Then we’ll go another day," Duan Yunfei smiled, holding her soft hand and whispered, "Do you still need your husband to guide you?"
The two were extremely close, so close that as the breeze passed, their flying strands of hair could entwine with each other thread by thread.
Shen Qinglan stared at the intertwined strands for a moment, baffled.
Duan Yunfei gazed deeply at her, with a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips.
She looked away, suddenly flashed him a toothy smile, withdrew her wrist, and turned to knock on the door.
Duan Yunfei chuckled warmly, quickly stood straight, and crossed his arms across his chest as he stood behind her.
The door opened, Shao Yi smiled at Shen Qinglan first, and when he saw Duan Yunfei behind her, he couldn’t help but also smile.
"Young Master Duan is here too!"
Duan Yunfei nodded, "Uncle Shao!"
"Ah, come in quickly!"
Once inside the courtyard, Duan Yunfei sighed, "Such a nameless and undefined life is truly unbearable."
He looked at Shen Qinglan and said, "How about this, when we get to the Capital, we’ll marry directly when you come of age, okay?"
After speaking, he shook his own head, "No, marriage is a big deal, it can’t be too casual. I have to prepare a ten-mile bridal procession or something for you."
"Ten-mile bridal procession?" Shen Qinglan turned around, teasingly walking backward as she said, "From Lishui Village all the way to Yongning Manor?"
Duan Yunfei chuckled, "If you want it, I’ll have it prepared for you in advance."
"Let’s forget it!" Shen Qinglan pouted, "That’s just for show, it doesn’t matter if we have it or not."
"How can it not matter?" Duan Yunfei disagreed, "It represents how much I, and Yongning Manor, value you."
Shen Qinglan smiled, dismissing the idea lightly.
"Did you remember all the swordsmanship your master taught you?" Duan Yunfei asked.
"Yes!" Shen Qinglan nodded, "I remembered it after just one viewing, but I haven’t practiced it. Today is the first time."
Duan Yunfei laughed softly, sincerely praising, "My lady is truly clever!"
Shen Qinglan swung the Jingyu Sword in her hand, curiously asking, "Does this Jingyu Sword have any history?"
"There’s nothing much about it, just that it’s a sword with a reputed name in the Jianghu."
Duan Yunfei explained, "When my master was young, he was a swordsmith, and these three swords were the last he forged. They are Feihong, Jingyu, and Luo Yan. All three were made from the same block of Cold Iron. It’s said that when forged, each sword shone brightly and naturally emitted a murderous aura, which attracted many Jianghu passersby who spread the word widely. Soon, these three unnamed swords naturally became famous swords."
Duan Yunfei chuckled, "In my view, they just stand out because the material is exceptional. Other than that, there’s nothing particularly special."
Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "If Senior Chu hears you say that, I wonder what he would think."
"Please keep it a secret for your husband," Duan Yunfei said, "Although there’s nothing special about this sword, Cold Iron is hard to find. If my master hears me criticize his sword casting skill as mediocre and takes back the Feihong Sword in anger, wouldn’t that be a great loss for me?"
Shen Qinglan chuckled, "Taking advantage and then pretending to be modest, that’s exactly like you."
