Chapter 462: Chapter 649: Having One’s Own Considerations
Feng Ruolin once again marveled. She could tell that Manager Fang was skilled in kung fu based on his footsteps and breathing, and not a weak practitioner at that. Of course, he was weaker compared to Zhai Mo; even she could not compete with Zhai Mo’s skills. Moreover, she always felt there was something mysterious about Zhai Mo’s identity, that he was definitely more than just a subordinate. Zhai Mo’s mastery of martial arts resembled the secret techniques of the Zhai Family, one of the four great martial arts families, and his surname was also Zhai. It seemed likely that Zhai Mo held a position of some significance within the Zhai family, though Feng Ruolin never guessed that Zhai Mo was the heir to the Zhai family.
Because Zhai Mo’s identity was a secret, he rarely appeared in front of others. Although he was sent by Han Yu to assist Mr. and Mrs. Su Hengyi, he stayed in the shadows, helping to gather information and arrange certain matters.
Speaking of the influence among Jianghu people in Chang’an, Zhai Mo’s definitely exceeded Feng Ruolin’s. Although the Feng family also held a significant status in the martial arts world, they were not as prominent as the Zhai family. Although the Zhai family had been purged by the Imperial Court, the remnants of their power that lingered in secret were still formidable, and the power of the Feng family was not in this region.
However, Mr. and Mrs. Su Hengyi had no idea about Zhai Mo’s past status, so they were unaware of his significant influence and merely admired his abilities.
“He is indeed a talent. Lin Meimei, you always have a good memory. Can you recall what Manager Fang looks like now?” asked Su Hengyi.
Feng Ruolin was initially unclear on the intentions of Su Hengyi. They had just met Manager Fang, so why was he asking if she could still remember Manager Fang’s appearance? Despite her thoughts, Feng Ruolin was accustomed to heeding Su Hengyi’s words and subconsciously tried to recall Manager Fang’s features. Strangely, although she had just met Manager Fang, his image in her memory was now blurry, and she couldn’t remember what he looked like.
“Eh? I can’t remember what he looks like,” Feng Ruolin said in surprise. This was definitely abnormal. She prided herself on having a good memory, and having just seen Manager Fang, she also understood her husband’s intention. Her husband never did anything superfluous.
“Manager Fang has quite a distinctive appearance. Although not grotesque, he certainly stands out from the average person. Not being one to blend into the crowd, it’s peculiar that we have seen him yet cannot recall his appearance clearly. It seems that Manager Fang might possess some unknown skills.”
“Where on earth did my brother-in-law find such a talent?” Feng Ruolin sighed. If Han Yu came from an aristocratic family or one with some foundation, she wouldn’t have felt this way. The key point was, even if he came from a simple farmhouse and knew of such talent, convincing someone to serve him would not be a simple matter.
“Han Yu indeed has some skills; regardless of anything else, his ability to attract people is good. Those under him are capable, and his luck is not bad either!” Su Hengyi reflected, knowing a bit more about the matter than Feng Ruolin, hence the feeling of admiration.
As for the Sikong Mansion, as soon as Mr. and Mrs. Su Hengyi entered Chang’an, someone immediately reported to Sikong Ling, “Wang Mang has really invested a lot this time. Mr. and Mrs. Su Hengyi almost got caught at the city gate. It’s lucky that Su Hengyi is experienced and well-prepared. He narrowly averted the soldiers’ inspection with a disguise. Otherwise, there would have been a significant commotion at the city gate today.”
