(Please Subscribe) He had originally intended for Chen Yuan to teach Yun Han a lesson and get some revenge on his behalf, although he hadn’t held out too much hope for this; after all, no matter what,

the Yun Family was one of the Five Great Families of Jianghu, with formidable strength and a foundation even more robust than that of the Shangguan Clan.

Chen Yuan, despite some status and background, would be unwise to provoke such an entity.

So, he had only harbored a sliver of hope.

But shortly thereafter, he heard the news of Yun Han’s death.

He was simply shocked at the time.

Subconsciously, he assumed it was because of his own doing, since Chen Yuan and Yun Han hadn’t known each other and had no grudges, aside from his words,

what other reason could there be?

Initially, upon hearing the news, he reflected and knew that Chen Yuan must have gotten into trouble, so he went to appeal to the Patriarch of the Shangguan Family for assistance.

But he was sternly chastised.

And told not to interfere.

This made Shangguan Yu feel guilty toward Chen Yuan, thinking that Chen Yuan was spirited and brave, while he could only hit the wall with his own family, appearing even more feeble by comparison.

That was when he started to boast about Chen Yuan.

Now he could be counted as the top advocate for Chen Yuan in Shuzhou, boosting his reputation.

“A hero, Chen Yuan?” asked Shangguan Hong, blinking her eyes.

“That’s right, it’s him,” Shangguan Yu said in a deep voice.

“Big brother, are you confused? Although Chen Yuan is your good friend, he is after all an official for the Court… How can he be called a hero?” she asked, puzzled.

“Have you forgotten the matter of Yun Han?”

Shangguan Yu said solemnly:

“Brother Chen is all about loyalty and values relationships. How can he not be hailed as a hero? Little sister, don’t keep calling officials ‘court hounds’; have you forgotten that our Shangguan Clan also has family members serving as officials in the Court?”

Not just the Shangguan Clan; the rest of the Great Families each had members in the Court to varying degrees. These families were themselves a bridge between the Court and Jianghu.

It had been this way since the time of the previous dynasty, Great Chu.

Unfortunately, the Sima Family had a less honorable origin, and due to many taboos in this regard, the influence of the Five Great Families in the Court had been greatly reduced,

else the officials of the Court would surely have been teeming with experts from the Five Great Families.

Shangguan Hong opened her mouth: “Why must you drag me here to meet him? You might regard Chen Yuan as a hero, but all I have heard of is his cruelty and fondness for killing,

he might be powerful, but his nature is too ruthless.”

“Isn’t little sister contemplating choosing a husband? Your elder brother, haha…” Shangguan Yu chuckled softly, his implication clear.

“What?” Shangguan Hong glared at Shangguan Yu:

“Your fine match for me is Chen Yuan?”

“Don’t react so strongly, Chen Yuan doesn’t fancy you at all. I mentioned it when we were in Guangling, but Brother Chen was not willing.”

“He’s not interested in me?”

Shangguan Hong glared at Shangguan Yu, her tone rising.

“This is just to let you take another look at each other. If it doesn’t work out, making a friend is also good. I’ve said before that Chen Yuan is a good man, valuing loyalty.”

Shangguan Yu said with a smile.

He and Shangguan Hong were siblings born of the same mother and had a close relationship. Having grown up together, naturally, he sometimes considered her future. While it was inevitable for a woman to marry,

marrying a compatible partner would always be best.

“Hmph, no need, my heart is set on Martial Arts, not interested in matters of love. I appreciate your good intentions, big brother,” Shangguan Hong huffed lightly.

As they spoke, the disciple from Hidden Soldier Valley, moving with utmost speed, arrived at the Mountain Gate and said to Shangguan Yu:

“Young Master Shangguan, the Green Envoy invites you inside.”

“Lead the way.”

…

…

“Brother Shangguan, long time no see,”

With a trace of apology toward Shangguan Yu, Chen Yuan awaited him at the main hall, and upon seeing his figure from afar, his voice rang out with a hearty laugh.

“Brother Chen.”

Shangguan Yu’s movement technique was swift, and with a few flashes, he arrived in front of Chen Yuan, his eyes filled with excitement.

“Please.”

“Please.”

Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Hong were invited into the council hall, where Chen Yuan did not take the seat at the head but sat beside him.

“Brother Shangguan, let me introduce you to a few friends. This is Han Yu, Brother Han; this is the current Valley Master of Hidden Soldier Valley, Ouyang Zhi; this is Lady Xu…”

Aside from Yue Shan and others, Chen Yuan introduced them to Shangguan Yu one by one.

Even though deep down he didn’t think much of it, Shangguan Yu still managed to be cordial, exchanging pleasantries, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

“Brother Shangguan, what brings you to Hidden Soldier Valley?”

After the pleasantries, Chen Yuan directly approached the matter at hand.

Shangguan Yu said with a smile:

“I’m here for several reasons: first, to thank Brother Chen for taking out Yun Han for me, and second, to introduce my sister to a hero like Brother Chen.”

Hearing that Shangguan Yu had come all the way to thank him, Chen Yuan subconsciously touched his nose and said in a low voice:

“Why stand on ceremony, Brother Shangguan? There’s no need for thanks between you and me. A true man should stand by his word, be resolute in life and death, and hold his promise as valuable as a thousand pieces of gold!”

These words deeply moved Shangguan Yu; looking at Chen Yuan, he couldn’t help but say:

“Brother Chen is truly a great man!”

He softly repeated the phrase to himself, moved by the commitment to stand together through life and death, boldly show one’s inner mettle and integrity and hold a promise as unwavering as gold.

Apart from him, Shangguan Hong was also struck by the power of these words.

But neither doubted their sincerity, for Chen Yuan had already proven himself in their presence by taking out Yun Han at Shangguan Yu’s behest.

Indeed, a great man!

Even Shangguan Hong’s impression of Chen Yuan improved considerably.
