The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

Chapter 1796: Appearance

Jin Xuyao said again, "Posting the royal proclamation is to find you. If you don’t appear, they can’t do anything about you. Who in this world can find you, right? As for fearing your junior sister, you have no reason to fear her. I know her; she was Lun Yu’s mother and has been dead for several years.""Dead for several years?" Jia Ren suddenly sobered up and urgently asked, "Who is Lun Yu?"

Seeing Jia Ren regain his clarity, Jin Xuyao breathed a sigh of relief and slowly said, "Lun Yu is Lun Tong’s son, and he’s also one of Lun Tong’s disciples. They have always been looking for you and are greatly impressed by your disguise technique."

Jin Xuyao also took the opportunity to compliment Jia Ren a bit.

But the more Jia Ren listened, the more alarmed he became, his eyes almost popping out.

"My junior sister’s son?" he muttered softly, then asked, "And her other disciple?"

"The other disciple is Lun Yu’s wife. Although their family is mysterious, they’re very familiar with the Ningwang Residence! The reason they are using the royal proclamation to find you this time is something you should have guessed."

The old man fell silent as if he were dumbfounded, and after a long time, he finally said in a low voice, "Fate truly plays tricks, let’s go, I will accompany you to Tianhai Mountain Villa!"

...

When Lun Yu and Yi Yan were young, they liked to disguise themselves as the opposite gender. Lun Yu preferred dressing up as a woman, while Yi Yan truly seemed like a man.

Now they are no longer young and have left behind those peculiar hobbies of their youth. It seems their obsession with the disguise technique has waned as well, as they mostly show their real faces. To those who aren’t particularly close or familiar, they’re regarded merely as people from the Ningwang Residence rather than having any other identities in the martial arts world.

This is Jia Ren’s first time seeing Lun Tong’s son and daughter-in-law, her two disciples.

There are some similarities to the silhouette he remembered, especially those slightly upturned eyes.

With just one glance, he realized... he truly is Lun Tong’s son.

That aged hand unconsciously lifted, reaching toward that face.

"Uncle... Master?" Lun Yu was startled, awkwardly shifting his position, causing Jia Ren’s hand to grasp nothing but air, his outstretched hand hovering in midair.

"Yes!" Jia Ren softly acknowledged, saying, "I hear you are... my junior sister’s son and also her disciple!"

"Yes, Master!" Lun Yu’s smile was slightly stiff.

Jia Ren nodded lightly and continued, "Did she leave any relics for me?" At the same time, he extended his hand.

In truth, this was simply an excuse they used to lure Jia Ren out; there were no actual relics.

But they urgently needed his help with something, yet dared not reveal everything directly. Lun Yu, with no other choice, said, "Master, retrieving my mother’s relics requires time. But we didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly, so the relics were not brought along. How about... how about we do this? You can rest for a few days here at Tianhai Mountain Villa, and we will immediately go fetch my mother’s relics. What do you think?"

Having lived for several decades, Jia Ren had seen countless real and false faces, how could he not perceive the subtle expressions on Lun Yu’s face?

He paused for an instant, then sighed softly, "You look exactly like your mother did back then when telling lies!"

Uh...

"Ah...?"

Everyone in the room was taken aback.

Jia Ren waved his hand and said, "Forget it, on my way here, my disciple had already told me. Seems she didn’t leave any relics for me; you just wanted to lure me out."

Everyone: "..."

"Let’s go, to see Fu Jian!"
