Chapter 192 Her "Indirect Attack"
At night, the moonlight is as bright as a silver thread.
The room was brightly lit.
Xingyun lightly moved to Xinghan's side and called out in a more respectful manner:
"Father, your wisdom and kindness are truly a beacon in my heart." His words were full of respect and admiration, as if he was paying the highest respect to an ancient wise man.
Hearing this, Xinghan tilted his head slightly, a gentle light flashed in his eyes. He stroked his long beard, pondered for a moment, and said slowly:
"Yun'er, what you see is exactly what my heart desires. However, things in this world are complicated and intricate, and we need to proceed step by step carefully in order to go forward steadily." His words revealed a calmness and depth that came from having experienced many vicissitudes of life, as if he was imparting the philosophy of life to Xingyun.
Hearing this, Xingyun became more resolute in his belief. He bowed again, his voice filled with excitement:
"Father is right. I was once lost in an illusory dream, wanting to revive the ancient gods by myself, but I ignored the suffering of the people. Now I am awake, and I am willing to follow in my father's footsteps and work hard to improve the lives of the people so that there will be no more people suffering from hunger and cold in this world."
Xinghan smiled with satisfaction when he heard this. He patted Xingyun's shoulder with admiration in his eyes:
"Yun'er, you are so enlightened. It is a great blessing for our clan. My son is no longer the ignorant boy he used to be. He is now a hero who can stand on his own. We should work together for the common good and make this land shine even brighter."
Afterwards, the two stood side by side in the corridor, looking at the students immersed in the ocean of knowledge, their hearts filled with hope.
Yunbian Station's business has been booming since its first day.
As the "Yunbian Inn" restaurant became famous, its unique principle of equal hospitality for men and women became a hot topic in the city.
This principle not only breaks the old conventions and allows female guests to enjoy the same respect and treatment as men, but also invisibly promotes the progress of social customs.
Outside the threshold of "Yunbian Inn", you can always see vivid pictures from early morning to dusk every day, depicting the unique charm of Xingyun as the soul of this place.
"Have you heard? That Master Xingyun is gentle and courteous, and treats people like a spring breeze. Everyone can feel his warmth."
A gorgeously dressed woman whispered to her best friend beside her, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.
As the news spread, the women followed suit and lined up in long queues, just to catch a glimpse of Xingyun or to taste the delicacies of "Yunbian Inn" under his personal hospitality. In the queue, some women held exquisite folding fans, half covering their cheeks, and whispered shyly; others boldly stuck their heads out, trying to catch a glimpse of Xingyun's calm figure from the crowd.
What's more, some women who admired Xingyun even plucked up the courage, held paper and pen, and waited until Xingyun was free, and shyly asked him to leave his calligraphy.
Xingyun always took it with a smile, and lightly touched the paper with the tip of the pen. After a while, a series of signatures, some vigorous and powerful, some gentle and delicate, appeared on the paper, attracting admiration from those around him.
Matchmakers often come in and out of the "Yunbian Inn", holding red silk in their hands and smiling, in their attempt to act as matchmakers for the girls who have a crush on Xingyun.
Although Xingyun always treated people with courtesy and declined politely, his grace and humility made his image more prestigious in everyone's mind.
What's more, some wealthy businessmen were willing to spend huge sums of money just to ask Xingyun to cook a feast for them personally.
Although these requests were politely declined by Xingyun one by one, the recognition and admiration for Xingyun's cooking skills were enough to prove his status in people's hearts.
Whenever night falls, the "Yunbian Inn" is brightly lit and filled with guests.
One evening, Shen Li walked briskly into the "Yunbian Inn". Her arrival always added a bit of unusual atmosphere to the place. As soon as she entered the door, she walked straight towards the busy guys with a playful smile on her lips.
"Hey, boys, today I'm going to teach you some practical self-defense techniques, so you won't be bullied by someone ignorant someday."
Shen Li spoke as he got into position. A few simple movements revealed his extraordinary skills. The guys gathered around him, their eyes sparkling with excitement and admiration.
After teaching a few tricks, Shen Li's eyes inadvertently swept across the new recipe on the table, frowned slightly, picked up the recipe and read out in an exaggerated manner:
"What kind of dark cuisine is this? Will anyone really eat it?" Her tone was a little teasing, but it also revealed her unique insights into ingredients and cooking.
At this time, bursts of laughter came from a corner of the store. It turned out that Xingyun was surrounded by a group of women again. Seeing this, Shen Li raised a sly smile and approached quietly, deliberately raising her voice: "Oh, it seems that our Master Xingyun is so charming that this place is almost becoming a 'country of women'."
Xingyun looked over when he heard the voice and saw Shen Li standing not far away, laughing so hard that she was bent over. He shook his head helplessly, but a warm feeling surged in his heart.
After the women left, Shen Li slowly walked to Xingyun, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, Xingyun, you are good at attracting bees and butterflies."
Back at Xingyun's courtyard, it was already late at night. Shen Li sat at the stone table, playing with a cup of tea in his hand, and asked casually:
"Did old man Xinghan enjoy the same treatment today? Is there any girl chasing after him?" There was a hint of sourness in her tone, but she could not hide her concern for Xinghan.
Upon hearing this, Xinghan just smiled faintly and did not answer directly.
Shen Li didn't care and continued her "indirect questioning" until late at night when they both went back to their rooms to rest.
As for those who came here because of his reputation and tried to follow Xinghan to Xingyun Courtyard, they were all sent away by Shen Li in her unique "way" without exception.
She either uses sharp words to discourage people, or she takes direct action to let the other party experience how powerful she is.
In short, under her protection, Xingyun Courtyard always maintains a sense of tranquility and peace.
Good things come in pairs.
In less than two months, the glorious rise of Yunbian Station was like a wildfire in spring, unstoppable.
There are countless guests from home and abroad who come here to eat here, and there are also many people from foreign countries who come here to dine, speaking languages that most people cannot understand. They are all received by Xinghan one by one.
And Xinghan's name is regarded as the most noble among the noble ones.
Under the halo of Yunbian Inn, a more mysterious and noble figure is quietly hidden behind the scenes. He is Xinghan - the legendary figure respected by the world as the "great wise man behind the scenes".
His name, like the brightest star in the night sky, although it does not often appear in front of people, it illuminates the spiritual path of countless people with its profound wisdom and broad mind.
Some even said that the princess wanted to find Xingyun as her husband. This news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until everyone in the streets knew about it.
Even Xingyun was wondering where this rumor came from?
