Chapter 480: The Reputation of a Madman

On the ground floor of the small building, a middle-aged man in a wide robe with big sleeves and a turban on his head was pacing back and forth with a little anxiety and worry, looking up at the corner of the stairs from time to time.

He had an extremely eye-catching horse face, a long beard like a five-strand goat beard, full of energy, steady steps, but a little more timid, and the momentum of a rare master.

Suddenly, his face was full of surprise, and he hurriedly greeted: "Second Young Master..."

Halfway through the words, he was stunned, and his tone turned to sigh: "Second Young Master, you have really grown up..."

Meng Qi wore a green robe and a Confucian shirt, with a long sword on his waist. When he walked, he was in harmony with the world, unrestrained and leisurely, and his facial features had grown up, handsome and masculine, only vaguely seeing his childish appearance at the beginning.

This horse-faced man was the first person Meng Qi had seen since he traveled through time. He was naturally impressed. He put his hands behind his back, walked slowly, and said with a lukewarm smile: "Yes, I can travel the world and take revenge."

The horse-faced man's face suddenly turned red. This was what he said when he comforted the "Second Young Master". Who knew it would become a reality!

"I, I..." He stammered, not knowing how to answer.

Meng Qi did not want to expose his scars and hit him in the face. He just wanted to "prove" his identity so that the horse-faced man would not doubt him. Therefore, he did not mention it again and kept a polite smile: "Who sent someone to invite me?"

The horse-faced man restrained his emotions and said respectfully: "Replying to the Second Young Master, it is naturally the Marquis, um, and the Fifth Master."

The Fifth Master Su is the "Golden Eyed Divine Constable" Su Yue, one of the Eight Great Divine Constables, and he is only one step away from becoming a Grandmaster.

"Let's go." Meng Qi walked past him with his hands behind his back, his tone was flat, as if he was just accepting an invitation that was not worth paying attention to.

The horse-faced man was both happy and surprised: "Second Young Master, you, did you agree?"

He thought that the Second Young Master would be resentful and unwilling to return home, as evidenced by his wandering outside in the past few years, so he prepared many arguments, persuading him with benefits and appealing to his emotions, but he didn't expect that the other party would agree after just asking a question!

This is simply unbelievable.

"I wonder if my mother's grave is overgrown with weeds..." Meng Qi sighed, as if answering a question that was not asked.

Because of his uncle and master, he felt a little close to Tang, and his feelings were sincere, not fake.

The horse-faced man hurriedly said: "How could it be? Although Aunt Tang cannot be buried in the ancestral tomb, it is also the tomb of our Marquis' Mansion, and there are servants to guard and clean it."

He has found an explanation for his previous question. It turns out that the Second Young Master did not completely eliminate his resentment, but was here to sweep the tomb.

Looking at the figure in front of him with his lapels fluttering in the blue shirt, watching Meng Qi's seemingly steady and carefree steps, and feeling the naturalness of his gestures, the horse-faced man couldn't help but sigh secretly. In just a few years, the second young master has really become a genuine master, roaming the world and bearing a reputation as a madman.

Even if he has not yet broken the boundary between heaven and man and become a strong man in the outer scene, judging from his perfect state of unity between heaven and man, I believe he is not far away.

The horse-faced man is a master of nine orifices, and he often sees the outer scene of the Su family. He can still make a rough judgment on Meng Qi's realm, but how can he see that Meng Qi is deliberately being mysterious and deliberately concealing the fact that he has returned to his original nature.

…………

On the carriage, Meng Qi's eyes were half open and half closed, and he didn't say a word, showing the style of a master. The horse-faced man had a lot of words to say, and he could only watch the carriage drive into the inner city and stop outside the gate of the Shenwei Marquis Mansion in Taipingfang, near the edge of the imperial city.

The Su family has accumulated wealth for five generations, and the mansion is vast and continuous, almost occupying half of Taipingfang. There is a black-and-gold plaque at the door, with the four characters "Shenwei Houfu" written on it, which was written by the emperor himself.

The aristocratic family has its own rules. Unless you are extremely noble, the middle door will not be opened to welcome you. Only the small door will be opened to welcome Meng Qi in.

The screen wall, the patio, the courtyard, and the pavilions and towers are all presented to Meng Qi, but to him, they are extremely strange and not familiar at all, so he still maintains the posture of a master and follows the horse-faced man with steady steps.

"Second Young Master, the house has not been renovated. Except for the withering and flourishing flowers and plants, the rest are exactly the same as when you left." The horse-faced man tried to evoke the affection in Meng Qi's heart with a familiar scene.

Meng Qi said lightly: "Are you trying to remind me not to forget about leaving?"

The horse-faced man was speechless and dared not speak again, for fear of making things worse.

Meng Qi was not targeting him, but simply didn't know how to respond, so he simply blocked the other party to avoid revealing his true colors.

The servants and maids passing by all looked at them curiously. Uncle Zhong was deeply trusted by the Marquis and rarely personally greeted guests. What virtue did this young man have to make him so respectful?

"Hey, he looks a bit like the Marquis." A little maid whispered.

"Yes, but more like, more like that woman..." A maid seemed to remember something.

"Could it be, could it be?" Everyone suddenly realized that the man was now in the capital of God and was in the limelight!

The maid just now said with a gloomy face: "No one is allowed to mention it again, be careful not to anger the lady."

Meng Qi took in all their words, listened calmly, and analyzed the situation in the mansion.

After stepping out of a courtyard gate, two people appeared in front of him, a man and a woman. The man was tall, with outstanding facial features, sword-like eyebrows and tiger eyes, and he looked majestic. Judging from his age, he might not be over 20.

The woman had big eyes and a raised nose, thick eyelashes, delicate and tender facial features, and seemed to have just reached the age of marriage. She was wearing a pink dress and hiding behind the boy. She glanced at Meng Qi with a pair of eyes flickering, feeling a little embarrassed.

The horse-faced man was afraid that Meng Qi would not recognize his brothers and sisters who had grown up after being away from home for many years, so he hurriedly said, "This is the fourth young master, the second son of the fifth master, who has been adopted by the lady. This is the sixth young lady, your biological sister."

Adopted? Meng Qi was slightly stunned, and then relieved. The only two sons of the Su family marquis, one became a monk, and the other had a hidden illness and was occasionally crazy. It was reasonable that they could not inherit the title, so adoption was the right thing to do.

"But is it in person, second brother? I am Su Ziyu." The sword-like and tiger-eyed boy bowed his hands and saluted without losing any etiquette.

Meng Qi had read the information before and knew that only the children of the Marquis were named "Zi". The second son of "Golden Eyes Detective" Su Yue was originally named Su Tingyu. It seems that the name was changed after he was adopted.

And he must have been adopted not long ago, otherwise he would have known it back then.

Su Liuniang also saluted in a formal manner: "Little sister Su Ziyue, meet the second brother."

Her cheeks were flushed, excited and shy. Before, "Kuang Dao" was famous all over the world, and he was also well-known among the children of the noble families in Beijing. There were many people who admired and yearned for him. Su Ziyue was one of them. When Meng Qi killed the Wolf King with a knife and caused a sensation in the world, and his life experience was gradually dug out, Su Ziyue was shocked and happy. It turned out that Kuang Dao was her own brother!

Meng Qi nodded slightly and smiled at the two of them: "I almost didn't recognize you."

In fact, he didn't recognize you at all...

Seeing that Su Ziyu and Su Ziyue were both ready to come forward to talk, the horse-faced man immediately said: "Fourth Young Master, Sixth Miss, the Marquis is still waiting for the Second Young Master, there will be plenty of opportunities later."

After speaking, he led Meng Qi forward in a hurry.

Su Ziyu and Su Ziyue were stunned at first, and then followed after a brief discussion.

When they arrived at the main house, Meng Qi saw a man standing outside the door. He was handsome and calm, with two small mustaches, wearing dark golden police uniforms, and hanging on his waist was a golden eye with a restrained light and a simple and unpretentious long sword.

"Golden Eyes Detective" Su Yue... Meng Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Su Yue's masculinity is somewhat similar to Meng Qi's. From his appearance, you can't tell that he is over 50 years old. He greeted him with a big smile: "Our Su family's Qilin is finally back."

Meng Qi nodded slightly, without addressing him, and pretended to be distant and isolated.

Su Yue didn't mind at all, and patted Meng Qi on the shoulder: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back. It's necessary to venture into the world, and your own foundation is also necessary. You have experienced dangers and done many great things in the past few years. It's time to calm down and hone your edge at home."

He also looked at Su Ziyu and Su Ziyue who followed behind: "Many aristocratic families in Beijing lack successors because they lack the tempering of the world. Back then, my brother and I were not afraid of danger and traveled to the northwest."

As they spoke, they had entered the hall. There was a man standing with his hands behind his back. His facial features were quite similar to Meng Qi, just like his middle-aged appearance, but he was more masculine and majestic, and his delicateness was not as handsome as Meng Qi.

This man had a long beard and looked at Meng Qi with a complicated look.

Before he spoke, several people came out from behind. The leader was a graceful woman. She had a beautiful face and no wrinkles, but her eyes were cold and she stared at Meng Qi.

"Why are you here?" Su Li, the Marquis of Divine Power, said in a deep voice.

"Of course I came to see our good son." The woman did not smile at all.

As a wife married in a formal way, Su Li's son had to call her mother.

Some of the other people stood beside Su Li, and some walked to the vicinity of the Golden Eyed Constable Su Yue.

Suddenly, a man next to Su Yue laughed and said, "Second brother, you suddenly returned to Beijing this time. Is there something important?"

He looked quite similar to Su Ziyu. He should be Su Yue's eldest son, Su Dingyu.

After these words came out, everyone present became silent. The woman's eyes became colder and colder, and Su Ziyu's face showed an uneasy mood.

Is Su Ziyuan going home to fight for the title?

Although adopted children are superior to illegitimate children, martial arts are respected, and the Su family is not a Confucian family. With his strength and potential, it may not be impossible!

Meng Qi closed his eyes, and everyone present appeared in his mind. Except for Ke Weilan and Su Ziyue, everyone else seemed to be wearing a mask.

He opened his eyes and said in a calm tone: "I heard that there is a Qionghua Banquet in the capital, and I want to meet you heroes."

He directly stated his purpose.

"Besides that?" Su Dingyu said with a smile.

Meng Qi's expression remained unchanged, and he answered the question irrelevantly: "Everyone knows that human power is limited. Even if one is in the outside world, one can only live for two or three generations. Therefore, the court needs to exist, and the title and family property need to be passed down to ensure the prosperity and wealth of future generations and the continuity of family heritage."

"This is the nature of living beings, but for the truly powerful, they go in and out of the underworld and live forever in the world. Titles and family property are just passing clouds. The Su family only had titles five generations ago, and at that time, Chonghe, the predecessor of Bei Zhou, had already entered the martial arts world."

He looked around at everyone: "Although I am not talented, I have high aspirations. I want to be the best in martial arts, to be on par with all the seniors, and to be on par with the ancient immortals. Such 'glory and wealth' can be obtained with a wave of my hand, so why should I bother about it?"

Although the life span of the current Dharma body is very low, the existence of the Journey to the West world gives Meng Qi more hope.

"Arrogant..."

"Arrogant..."

Everyone in the Su family was silent. Even the Golden Eyed Detective had never thought that Meng Qi would answer like this, and his attitude of treating the title as dirt was fully revealed.

He really lived up to his reputation!

"I don't know where my mother is buried. Please send someone to take me to the grave." Meng Qi retracted his gaze and said calmly.
