Chapter 398 Someone from Shengyun Mountain Arrives
Feeling somewhat skeptical, General Zhenyuan asked, "Do you believe Miss Song can solve this matter?"
Since it concerns his daughter's life, he has to be more cautious and make more preparations. "Father, I believe Yunxi!"
Shi Yingnan's undoubting and firm expression shocked General Zhenyuan.
He knew his daughter very well. She had been fighting on the battlefield for many years and was therefore extremely cautious. She would never trust anyone easily.
But she and Song Yunxi had only met once, how could she trust him so much?
General Zhennan frowned slightly: "Yingnan, are you being a little hasty?"
He has always been in contact with the prince, so although he has never met Miss Song, he has some understanding of her, and it is not just an ordinary liking for her, but a kind of admiration.
Ordinary girls would spend their money on fancy clothes, jewelry and makeup, but Miss Song was willing to give all she had to the soldiers and civilians at the border. He admired her for her broad-mindedness.
During the days since he returned to the capital, he had intentionally or unintentionally inquired about Song Yunxi. He knew that she lived a very frugal life and dressed very simply. Even when attending palace banquets, she only wore plain clothes and a simple hairpin. She had never worn gorgeous clothes or expensive jewelry.
But no matter what, she is just a young girl who has just passed the age of 15. How can she fight against Concubine Shen and the Empress Dowager?
Even if she had the ability, if she were to offend the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shen for the sake of her daughter, wouldn't her situation become difficult in the future?
How could he bear this?
As she was thinking about it, she heard Shi Yingnan say, "Father, I believe in my own vision and judgment. Yunxi is a friend worthy of entrusting my life to."
General Zhenyuan was naturally comforted by his daughter's vision and judgment.
"Yingnan, it's good that Miss Song is willing to help you, but we can't let her get into trouble."
General Zhenyuan asked seriously, "You should understand what your father means, right?"
Shi Yingnan was slightly stunned, but soon understood what her father meant: "Father, I understand!"
Her father's idea was not wrong. Miss Song was willing to help her out of loyalty and was of noble character. However, this was not a reason for the Shi family to completely delegate their affairs to Miss Song, nor could they feel at ease putting her in danger.
However, before General Zhenyuan and his daughter could take any action, the capital city soon became lively.
Elder Tao, one of the four great elders of Shengyun Mountain, came down the mountain with his daughter to the capital, and Elder Wen also came with them.
This Elder Wen is the leader of the four elders of Shengyun Mountain, and the second in command of Shengyun Mountain after the leader Song Wentian. His status is extraordinary.
Song Wentian chose to assist the Jin'an Dynasty in unifying the world in accordance with God's will. After the sect leader entered the world, all affairs of Shengyun Mountain were handled by the Great Elder. But you can imagine how noble the status of Elder Wen is.
The great elder of Shengyun Mountain has never left Shengyun Mountain to enter the world.
Therefore, Elder Wen's arrival in the capital naturally attracted everyone's attention and also triggered unprecedented enthusiasm among the onlookers.
Outside the Imperial Master's Mansion, onlookers had gathered early in the morning and the area was packed with people.
The carriage stopped, and the first person to get off was a pretty girl in purple clothes. Her pretty face was quite eye-catching.
The girl was obviously very confident about her appearance. Plus, she was the daughter of an elder from Shengyun Mountain. With such a noble background and outstanding appearance, it was no wonder that she raised her chin with pride and had an arrogant attitude that looked down on the world.
Although she is beautiful, her arrogant attitude and her disregard for everyone is really uncomfortable to watch, but who can blame her for her noble status?
The next person to get off the carriage was a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament. The girl coquettishly took the middle-aged man's arm and called sweetly, "Dad."
The middle-aged man poked her forehead with loving eyes and said, "Child, you are so reckless. What if you fall down?"
Although he was blaming her, he did not conceal his love for his daughter at all.
The girl pouted: "Isn't this your first time in the capital, my daughter? You can't wait to see the capital, right?"
This close father and daughter are Elder Tao, one of the four elders of Shengyun Mountain, and his daughter Tao Yuechan.
The last person to come down was an old man with white hair and a long white beard, who looked like an immortal. He was Elder Wen, the great elder of Shengyun Mountain, who was the first elder in the history of Shengyun Mountain to come down from the mountain and enter the secular world.
At this time, Song Wentian, his daughter and Qin Xubai had also come out to greet them.
When she saw Song Wentian, Tao Yuechan immediately let go of Elder Tao's arm, and her arrogant demeanor turned into respectful and cautious.
The three of them stepped forward and saluted Song Wentian respectfully: "Greetings, Master."
Then he greeted Song Yunxi and Qin Xubai: "Hello, Miss. Hello, Master."
The next moment, Song Yunxi excitedly rushed to Elder Wen and said, "Grandpa Wen, you are here. I have been waiting for you so long that my neck is about to grow long!"
Elder Wen, who looked like a sage, looked Song Yunxi up and down with a doting look: "It's been a few years since we last met. Let me, an old man, see if our little Xi'er has grown taller."
Song Yunxi turned around generously, then put her bright little face in front of Elder Wen, holding her face with her hands, blinking her eyes: "Grandpa Wen, look, have I become more beautiful?"
Elder Wen carefully looked at him for a long time, stroked his long white beard, and said seriously: "Well, he has really grown up, and..."
Elder Wen paused deliberately, and then continued in Song Yunxi's expectation: "And she has become more beautiful now."
A smile bloomed on Song Yunxi's face, so beautiful and bright that it was beyond words.
Watching the intimate interaction between the old and the young, Song Wentian and Qin Xubai also had smiles on their lips and gentle smiles in their eyes.
The two high and mighty, cold and detached immortals who could not be desecrated, now had a touch of the worldly air in their smiles. Their smiles seemed to make everything in the world pale in comparison.
Song Wentian waved to Song Yunxi and said, "Xi'er, Elder Wen has worked hard on the journey. Let him go into the mansion and rest first."
Qin Xubai: "Grandpa Wen is too indulgent to her. Be careful that this girl doesn't become arrogant because of her indulgence."
Although his tone was reproachful, everyone could actually hear the indulgence and pampering in his voice.
Song Yunxi pulled Elder Wen into the mansion. Although Elder Tao and his daughter were also invited into the mansion by Qin Xubai, everyone could see that his attitude was distant and polite.
As for Song Wentian, he had already entered the mansion with Song Yunxi.
Tao Yuechan, who was the center of everyone's attention just now, was now completely ignored and overshadowed.
The reference point for her to do this was naturally Song Yunxi.
She also didn't notice that when she followed Qin Xubai into the Imperial Master's Mansion, her hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched into fists, and her eyes hidden under her drooping eyelids were full of jealousy and murderous intent.
