Chapter 34: Invitation from the Fan Mansion, First Meeting with Siblings
Ye Qi directly handed over the remaining group of warriors to Wang Jian.

If they want to challenge Ye Qi, they must get past Wang Jian.

Only the grandmaster can pass Wang Jian's test. This group of people are not even up to the mark.

During the days before the Spring Examination, Ye Qi came to the streets of Kyoto to stroll around and join in the fun.

He was also curious about what these ancient literati were like.

Walking on the street, Ye Qi saw this group of scholars.

They were all dressed very poorly, and almost everyone was holding a book in their hands, reading as they walked.

Some also sat in the corner and read aloud.

Ye Qi couldn't help but sigh. No matter how hard these people tried, they couldn't be better than the reincarnation of the royal family.

Just one word from someone can help one pass the exam and achieve success.

The wealth that an ordinary person obtains at the end of his life is not even one percent or one ten-thousandth of what others have at the beginning of their life.

Most people eventually became lackeys of the royal family, and their original beliefs were worn away.

"What a damned world."

Thinking of this, Ye Qi silently lit a lung-moistening cigar.

Then he put on sunglasses and walked forward thoughtfully.

Suddenly, a blind guy bumped into Ye Qi.

"Who is so blind as to dare to bump into me? I... Are you General Ye? "

Ye Qi looked carefully and saw that it was Fan Sizhe.

When Fan Xian went on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi for negotiations, he brought back both Fan Sizhe and Fan Ruoruo.

By the way, this was the first time Ye Qi saw Fan Sizhe. He was wearing a big gold ring around his neck, making him look like the brilliant Pigsy.

Ye Qi raised his eyebrows: "Do you know me?"

"Of course I know you. When you and the delegation rode into Kyoto, I stood by and admired you the whole time."

This guy's words really make people feel comfortable.

"Who did you just say was blind?"

"I was wrong. I was blind. General Ye, calm down. I apologize to you. If you are free, come to my house for dinner."

"Okay, let's go to your house for dinner."

Ye Qi has not been to the Fan Mansion yet, and he also wants to meet Fan Ruoruo, Fan Jian, and Fan Sizhe's mother Liu Ruyu.

Fan Sizhe was just being polite, but he didn't expect Ye Qi to really agree.

So, under the leadership of Fan Sizhe, Ye Qi came to Fan Mansion.

The servants of the Fan Mansion quickly told Fan Jian the news about Ye Qilai.

Fan Jian was drinking tea in the study. When he heard that Fan Sizhe had brought Ye Qi, he was so surprised that the tea spilled on the book.

"This rebellious son, why did he bring the Northern Qi killer here?"

Fan Sizhe's mother Liu Ruyu also ran over in a hurry: "Master, something bad has happened. Ye Qi is here."

"I know."

"What should we do, Master?" Liu Ruyu was anxiously turning around.

"Hey, don't hang around in front of me. They are here. Let the people in the mansion entertain you first. I will be there soon."

Liu Ruyu asked cautiously, "Master, do you think that Ye Qi would kill someone in our Fan Mansion? I heard that he is a demon who kills without blinking an eye."

Fan Jian was speechless. "Where did you hear this news? This is Nanqing, he dare not act recklessly. Tell the servants to prepare wine and food. I will go over and take a look now."

the other side.

Ye Qi and Fan Sizhe had a very good chat.

Fan Sizhe shared his business ideas with Ye Qi and said that he wanted to open something similar to a bank. This made Ye Qi very impressed, thinking that this guy really had a business mind.

Moreover, this guy had committed a crime in Kyoto recently, and it was hopeless for him to do business in Kyoto, so Fan Sizhe asked him if he could go to Northern Qi to do business. Ye Qi thought that of course it was possible to do business in Qi as long as Fan Sizhe was willing.

After getting Ye Qi's permission, Fan Sizhe smiled happily.

Fan Sizhe knew Ye Qi's official position, general and commander of the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division, which in Qi State was the combination of Qin Ye and Chen Pingping's official positions. With his word, there would be no problem.

Their conversation was heard by Fan Ruoruo who was standing next to the door.

Ye Qi said: "Now that you are here, don't hide there, come out."

Fan Ruoruo was startled, and then walked in cautiously from the door: "My humble self, Fan Ruoruo, greets General Ye."

"You are the most talented woman in Kyoto, Fan Ruoruo."

Ye Qi took a look at Fan Ruoruo and found that she was indeed a great beauty with a scholarly and talented appearance.

"I don't deserve it. I'm far inferior to Ye Shixian."

"Don't call me a poet or not. I didn't write those poems. Someone sent them in my dreams. They have nothing to do with me."

"General Ye is too modest. I wonder why General Ye came to Fan's house this time?"

Ye Qi glanced at Fan Sizhe and said, "Your brother bumped into me and called himself the master in front of me. In order to apologize, he invited me to the Fan Mansion for tea. What do you think, Miss Fan?"

Fan Ruoruo glared at Fan Sizhe with murderous eyes, and Fan Sizhe shrank his head back in fear.

"I, I didn't notice it either. Who would have thought that General Ye was wandering on the street? I never thought of it~" Fan Sizhe spread his hands helplessly.

Fan Ruoruo came over and made tea for Ye Qi.

"I apologize to you on behalf of my brother. I hope General Ye will be magnanimous and forgive my brother's rude behavior."

Ye Qi waved his hand: "It's a small matter. I actually wanted to come and take a look at the Fan Mansion. My friend Fan Xian also lives here."

Fan Ruoruo nodded: "My brother does live here, but he has been busy with the Spring Examination and has not been home. I heard that he will go to Jiangnan with you after the Spring Examination."

Ye Qi took a sip of tea and found it tasted good: "Let's go together after the Spring Examination is over next week."

"Then General Ye, please take care of my brother on the road."

"Miss Fan, you are worrying too much. I am unfamiliar with Nanqing. I hope Fan Xian can take more care of me."

Hearing this, Fan Ruoruo pursed her lips and smiled: "I didn't expect General Ye to be a very interesting person, not like the rumors say."

Ye Qi was a little curious: "What kind of person am I according to the rumors?"

Fan Sizhe said mysteriously, "Recently, rumors have been rife that Ye Qi of Northern Qi is a demon who kills without blinking an eye. He is extremely cruel and will kill anyone who dares to look at him. Now even adults scare children by saying 'Ye Qi is coming, Ye Qi is coming' and the children stop crying all of a sudden."

Damn, is my reputation in Nanqing so terrible?

"Well, you looked at me several times just now. Should I take action now?"

Fan Sizhe fell to the ground with fright.

Just then, Fan Jian walked in.

"You useless thing, stand up now."

Fan Jian pointed at his son Fan Sizhe and cursed.

After cursing, he came to Ye Qi respectfully.

"I am Fan Jian, the Minister of Revenue, nice to meet General Ye!"

"Thank you, Minister Fan." Ye Qi replied politely.

At this time, the servants brought up the food.

Fan Jian said: "General Ye, if you don't mind, you can have a taste of our family dinner."

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Ye Qi hadn't eaten this kind of home-cooked meal for a long time, so he ate it voraciously.

Fan Jian and others were very surprised that General Ye of Northern Qi had no airs at all and even ate so generously.
