Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Going to the An Family (2)

"Madam, have you returned?" In the villa, a respectful elderly woman, over fifty years of age, stood at the door; she paused momentarily upon seeing An Yiqing.

"Aunt Zhang, this is the person who saved my life. Quickly prepare some exquisite snacks and a pot of fine flower tea."

Kong Shi brought An Yiqing to the sofa and then ordered Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li to serve a variety of delicate pastries and flower tea.

"Xiao Qing, I don’t know what you like, so I’ve had a selection of everything brought out. Don’t be shy, just consider this place your own home." Kong Shi’s hand was still holding An Yiqing’s and she seemed reluctant to let go, her eyes alight with an unprecedented gleam.

Aunt Li, standing by, was extremely moved by the radiance emanating from Kong Shi. The Madam finally had something to look forward to; Miss An truly was a lucky star!

However, the fifty-something Aunt Zhang, after looking at An Yiqing and then at Kong Shi, seemed somewhat puzzled.

"Aunt Zhang, has Xiao Shi returned?" Just then, an elderly yet strong voice called out from the stairway. An Yiqing lifted her head and saw an elder she didn’t recognize, but that elder gentleman... seemed vaguely familiar...

"Dad, Mom, I’m back," said Kong Shi, slowly rising to her feet with Aunt Li’s assistance, and greeted the two elders.

"Yes, Xiao Shi, who is this?"

"Dad, Mom, let me introduce you. This is An Yiqing. Just now at the bank, we encountered robbers, and I passed out again. It was Xiao Qing who saved me." Kong Shi, whose face had previously been pale, now had a touch of color as she spoke and held An Yiqing’s hand, "Xiao Qing, these are my in-laws, An Muyun and Yue Zihua. Xiao Qing, you can call them Grandpa An and Grandma An; it sounds more affectionate that way."

"Grandpa An, Grandma An," greeted An Yiqing politely, her composure unchanged, smiling as she said, "Grandpa An, could you be the renowned Old Commander, Senior An Muyun?"

Indeed, An Yiqing had recalled the old man’s identity!

The elder with a formidable presence was none other than the illustrious Old Commander of the An Family in Xuandu City — An Muyun!

Xuandu City boasted five major families: the Gu Family, the Guh Family, the An Family, the Bai Family, and the Qin Family. Among them, the Gu Family was the leading force, and only the other Ancient Martial Arts Family, the Guh Family, could rival it. The An Family ranked third among the five families. An Muyun had countless achievements in his lifetime and was a close friend of Old Master Gu Zhongyi. In his youth, even without Inner Breath to his name and relying solely on his tactical acumen as a grandmaster strategist and sharp vision, he was on par with Gu Zhongyi, and even the Guh Family’s elder fell short in comparison.

If it weren’t for an incident that happened more than ten years ago, leading Old Master An and his son to decide to keep a low profile and not stand out too conspicuously, it would be uncertain whether the Guh Family, currently ranked second, would still hold that position.

"Robbery? How could you encounter such a thing just by going out? Really, I told you to bring more people with you, but you didn’t listen, did you? Are you hurt?" Yue Zihua, the wife of Old Commander An Muyun, stood beside Kong Shi, anxiously checking her over to ensure she was indeed unharmed; only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. After a moment’s thought, she declared, "No, I must call Zisheng to come back. Your health has always been delicate; do not be further alarmed! Young lady, please have a seat, don’t be formal."

"Mom, I’m fine, you don’t need to..." Kong Shi hurriedly tried to stop Old Lady An from making the call.

"Xiao Shi, listen to your mother. A robbery is a serious matter, no matter how busy Zisheng is, he must come back to take care of you," Old Master An interrupted before Kong Shi could finish.

An Yiqing, listening to the family’s interactions from the side, couldn’t help but feel envious; they often say there’s a barrier between in-laws and daughters-in-law, but the elders of the An Family treated Kong Shi as their own daughter.

"Young lady, I am deeply grateful to you for saving Xiao Shi. Really, these old bones could never thank you enough," An Muyun turned and scrutinized the girl in front of him, his weathered eyes concealing a keen light amid calm depths.
