Chapter 4845: Familiarity

The Murong clan sent three young individuals this time, with no extra people accompanying them.

Once the three boarded the ship, First Young Master Qin led them, smiling, towards the little stoic and Fifth Young Master Qin.

"Stoic, come meet our guests from Wangchuan Murong."

Murong Yan and Murong Zhao, both around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, were among the top young talents of their family.

Murong Fei, on the other hand, was similar in age to the little stoic, about seventeen or eighteen, and naturally lively and active.

Upon seeing so many people for the first time, the young girl wasn't shy at all. When her bright, round eyes met the little stoic's, they lit up.

The young lady before her, with her ice and jade-like complexion, was rarely seen in the world, and she couldn't help but gaze at her a few more times.

At the same time, the little stoic was also looking at Miss Murong Fei with an expressionless face, her gaze fixed on her, as if looking through her small face at something else.

Murong Fei and Murong Xun were indeed aunt and niece; their appearances shared a four to five-tenths resemblance.

The first time Qiao Mu saw this girl, she felt a spontaneous sense of familiarity.

It was as if her master had pushed open the cold ice coffin and quietly come to her side.

"I think I've seen you somewhere before," Murong Fei hesitated for a moment, then finally couldn't help but say.

"Pardon me, my sister Fei'er didn't disturb this young lady, did she?" Murong Yan, seeing the little stoic's strained face, quickly apologized.

His sister always liked to make conversation out of nothing, capable of striking up a chat with anyone. However, not everyone enjoyed idle chatter...

For instance, this bright-eyed, eloquent young lady before them, she seemed to rather dislike their trio of siblings?

From the moment they met until now, the young lady hadn't shown even a hint of a smile.

"Thump, thump, thump." A rush of hurried footsteps approached from the distance.

Steward Gu immediately spotted Murong Yan and the other two, his face lighting up with a joyful smile as he rushed forward. "It truly is Young Master Murong!"

Qiao Mu had originally wanted to say a few words to Miss Murong Fei, to ask her if she knew Murong Xun.

Steward Gu's sudden interruption brought a hint of displeasure to the little stoic's heart.

However, seeing Steward Gu's joyful expression, like someone encountering an old friend in a foreign land, Qiao Mu said no more and quietly stepped back.

Murong Yan turned and met Steward Gu's gaze, his expression slightly surprised. "You are? Steward Gu, from beside Uncle Fang?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Young Master has an excellent memory! We only met once back then, and you still remember me," Steward Gu said delightedly. "I never expected to meet Young Master here. Oh, by the way, my young lady and young master are also on this ship. Young Master, let's go catch up!"

A faint hint of difficulty appeared on Murong Yan's face.

His purpose for this trip wasn't to reminisce. He still had matters to discuss with First Young Master Qin and Second Young Master Qin.

Steward Gu hastily poured out his grievances. "Young Master, our master brought the young lady here specifically for two reasons: one was to inspect the properties in Daxuan City, and the second was for the young lady and young master's marriage!"

Murong Fei's mouth fell open. "There's such a coincidence?"

The three siblings had accepted a mission from their family to accompany the Qin family to the Lotus Pond Sacred Realm.

Could they actually meet her elder brother's fiancée halfway?

What kind of karmic entanglement was this!

Murong Fei tugged at her second brother Murong Zhao's sleeve and pulled him aside. "Didn't Father say that Big Brother's engagement was already called off the year before last?"
