Chapter 1563: Rich Imagination

In the afternoon, all the disciples in the Butterfly Family started to become busy, because today was a special day. After all, it was the first meeting between their family’s Miss Wang Xiaoyan and her future fiance before they got engaged to each other.

However, since it was a meeting before the engagement, the whole family was very busy preparing. But they remained low-key toward outsiders. After all, this was considered as a private meeting, not an engagement ceremony.

Yang Ming couldn’t help but feel nervous looking at the Butterfly Family’s disciples busily setting everything up. He was here to call off the engagement, and the meeting at night was just a ceremony. How could it be so formal? Judging by the looks of it, it was as if he was really going to get engaged with her.

It is hard to imagine how these disciples might feel if they hear that I’m going to call off the engagement after meeting up with their family’s Miss. Would they feel a sense of grief about working hard for nothing? Right now, they might not know that the so-called “meeting” is just a show.

From their point of view, their family’s Miss was going to meet up with her fiance for the first time. It was a very important occasion, and naturally couldn’t be neglected at all. It was reasonable for them to decorate the whole castle to become livelier.

Yang Ming smiled bitterly. These underlings were really pitiful.

Wang Xiaoyan felt the same emotions as Yang Ming. She felt bad seeing how everyone in the family was so busy preparing for this meeting. It was as if she had lied to them. Everyone in the family still knew nothing. It was very apparent that these people were sincerely feeling happy for her. After all, the marriage of the Butterfly Family’s Miss was considered as something grand. However, Wang Xiaoyan was very clear that the meeting at night was simply just for show. She was clear about the final result.

Thinking of this, she was even angrier at the fiance that she hadn’t yet met. He had only come here to call off the engagement, and yet he made everything so grand. It was really a waste of the Butterfly Family’s labor force and resources.

If Yang Ming knew about the thoughts of Wang Xiaoyan, he would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry. He would think, How is this related to me? Do you think I wanted to come here to call off the engagement? I wouldn’t come so far if I weren’t forced to do so. Coming here is already giving your Butterfly Family face. If not, I could have called off the engagement with just a sentence, and I wouldn’t have to come so far. Besides, I even helped your Butterfly Family to solve such a huge problem. You are not only ungrateful but still hold complaints towards me? How could you wrong me so much?

Wang Xiaoyan’s heart felt a little sour when she opened the door and saw the sincere smile on each and every disciple of the Butterfly Family. This time, it seemed like she would have to disappoint these people. After giving out a sigh, she couldn’t hold it in anymore and called the phone in her father’s study.

“Dad, it’s me, Yanyan.” Wang Xiaoyan thought for a moment, and said, “I have some things to discuss with you about–”

“What do you want to discuss? Why are you stuttering so much? Just say it. You are my daughter. What’s there that you cannot discuss with me about?” Wang Songshan’s current mood was very good since Yang Ming had just helped him settle a big problem. He suddenly felt that it would be very fun after imagining his daughter’s feelings when she met Yang Ming. Because of this, his face was filled with joy as he was talking to Wang Xiaoyan.

“Dad, I think that those disciples and servants… are a little too enthusiastic…” Wang Xiaoyan said. “It’s just going to be a normal meeting at night, and it’s also to discuss the cancellation of the engagement. There’s no need to decorate the castle to be so festive…”

“Hehe, Yanyan, so you wanted to talk about this matter?” Wang Songshan thought, Of course, we have to decorate. You will naturally discuss the matter of marriage after meeting up with Yang Ming. Do you really think it is going to be canceled? But of course, he could not say this to her yet.

“Yeah. When I see the happy expression on their faces, I wonder if they know that everything is just for show. How disappointed will they be…” Wang Xiaoyan sighed.

“Silly girl. This is your first meeting with your fiance. It’s a big event!” Wang Songshan said. “Only a few of us know about the cancellation of the engagement Those servants and disciples all know nothing about it. This matter should never be leaked before you meet up with your fiance. If not, what’s the point of you two meeting up? This act is all for outsiders to see. We want to show that you two simply called off the engagement not because one side is persistent about it, but because you both felt incompatible after meeting up with each other.”

“That’s true…” Wang Xiaoyan also felt that it should be like that after listening to her father’s explanation. “But my heart still feels very uncomfortable!”

“It’s okay. Since everything has been decorated, then just consider it an early preparation for your engagement. After this is over, you can bring your little boyfriend back home to save us the trouble of decorating everything again.” Wang Songshan laughed.

“Dad– I hate you!” Wang Xiaoyan felt a little awkward and scowled at him. However, she didn’t have any problems with the decorations anymore. After all, Yang Ming would have to come in the future. She just treated this as an early preparation to welcome Yang Ming.

“Alright, alright.” Wang Songshan said. “I have things to do now. Remember to dress up nicely. After all, the meeting at night is still considered as a formal one.”

“I don’t want to dress up.” Wang Xiaoyan’s mouth twitched. Girls dress up for their loved ones after all. Why should she dress up to meet a fiance whom she had never met? She was also about to cancel the engagement. What if she dressed up too prettily and he started to have feelings for her? Wang Xiaoyan did not plan to dress up at all!

“You should at least look decent.” Wang Songshan shook his head helplessly. “Don’t disgrace our family. Who knows? Maybe if your fiance sees how beautiful you are, he might regret calling off the engagement so hastily.”

“I don’t care how he thinks. Alright, I get it.” Wang Xiaoyan replied displeasingly. In her heart, she was thinking about how to dress up to look horrible. What if her fiance really started to regret it just like her father said?

If the fiance really changed his decision and refused to call off the marriage, then many unnecessary problems would arise. Even if she insisted on calling it off, the Butterfly Family would be labeled as a family which doesn’t keep their promises. Therefore, Wang Xiaoyan had already decided. I don’t want to give you a chance to regret your decision. I want to let you think that calling off the engagement with me is a wise decision.

Tch tch, we’ll wait and see. I shall allow myself to become your nightmare so that you won’t ever want to see me again.

Yang Ming naturally felt the different atmosphere around the Butterfly Family in the guest room. He originally thought that they were going to decorate it very simply just for the sake of decorating. However, he never thought that the decorations would be so detailed. They even had a few private family tailors specifically measure his body measurements, wanting to promptly make a suit for him.

Yang Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry. Is this really necessary? It’s just a meeting, and yet they are making a suit? Is this calling off the engagement, or proceeding with it?

Yang Ming could only helplessly go to the opposite room to find and talk to Fang Tian. “Old Man Fang, let me ask you, what is the Butterfly Family trying to do? Why are they making it identical to an actual engagement ceremony? Isn’t this a little too grand?”

“Oh-” Fang Tian raised his head and looked at Yang Ming, but didn’t reply to him.

“What oh? Old Man Fang, I’m asking you a question.” Yang Ming became a little anxious when Fang Tian stopped talking after saying “oh”. Is this guy trying to make a joke out of me?

“Oh?” Fang Tian looked at Yang Ming again and gave out another “oh”. The only difference was that this “oh” was uttered in a confused tone.

Yang Ming widened his eyes and carefully assessed Fang Tian. He immediately figured out something was wrong. This old man has earphones stuffed into his ears! No wonder he couldn’t hear Yang Ming talk at all.

Yang Ming was so angry that he almost spat out blood. So I was talking to a deaf guy just now? No wonder he only said “oh” and “oh”. It was because he didn’t hear what I said at all.

Yang Ming immediately advanced and pulled Fang Tian’s earphones away. He frowned and placed the earphones into his ears. He wanted to find out what was so attractive about it that caused Fang Tian to listen so relishingly.

“Zhang San took the sword and slashed toward Wang Ermazi…”

Storytelling? Yang Ming’s expression turned weird. You can even hear the mainland’s storytelling broadcast in Europe? That is truly something.

“We’re on the other side of the globe. Isn’t your signal too strong?” Yang Ming’s eyes opened wide. He was truly shocked.

“This is an Ampishuang [1]. It was given to me by Dong Jun.” Fang Tian rolled his eyes. “Your imagination is really rich, much richer than that of Fishman II…”

“Ampi Shuang? What’s that?” Yang Ming was dumbfounded. He stared at Fang Tian strangely.

“You haven’t even heard of it before?” Fang Tian looked at Yang Ming in disdain. He took out a small square-shaped object from his shirt and shook it in front of Yang Ming. “You see this? You can download the stories into this and listen to it whenever you want to. You can listen to any parts you want to as well…”

When Yang Ming saw the item on Fang Tian’s hand, he suddenly fainted to the ground because it was actually an MP3.

Ampishuang? You’re too powerful, too shocking. Yang Ming thought to himself. This old man’s imagination is the one that’s rich…

Chapter 1564: Who Are You?

Fang Tian touched his chin in confusion after looking at the fallen Yang Ming. He talked to himself. “It can’t be, right? This thing is quite common. Even Ampisi[2] has been released for a very long time. These are all old stuff. Could it be that you have never seen it before?”

Ampisi? Do you mean MP4? Yang Ming wiped the sweat on his forehead. This old man, he’s too strong.

“You didn’t hear what I told you just now, did you?” Yang Ming snatched the MP3 on Fang Tian’s hands and placed it aside.

“I heard it.” Fang Tian nodded.

“Then why didn’t you answer me?” Yang Ming didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

“I answered. I said ‘oh’.” Fang Tian said seriously.

“What does “oh” mean?” Yang Ming almost rolled his eyes. “I thought that this is just a meetup, and that everything is just for show. Isn’t it inappropriate to make it so grand?”

“There’s nothing inappropriate about it.” Fang Tian shook his head. “Even if you won’t use it, Ruoshui and I can still use it.”

Yang Ming was instantly defeated. So this guy has been planning this?

Seeing how weird Yang Ming’s facial expression was, Fang Tian smirked and said, “Alright, to be frank, only Wang Songshan and I know about this matter. The Butterfly family’s servants and disciples do not know the inside story. If everyone knew the inside story, then what is the point in putting on a show?”

“That’s true.” Yang Ming nodded. They obviously wouldn’t let any peripheral members get wind of it. Everything would be wasted if it ever gets spread. “I thought that Wang Songshan didn’t want to call off the engagement anymore after I helped him settle his family’s troubles.”

“Oh, there’s this possibility as well. How can he be willing to let go of such a capable son-in-law?” Fang Tian smirked. “If it was me, I would not give up that easily. Who knows? Maybe this time, Wang Songshan really wants you to stay in the Butterfly Family.”

“Man! Why am I such a busybody?” Yang Ming shrugged. “I should not have helped them overcome their problems. I should have just let them be. Helping them has caused so many new problems.”

“That’s your own business. You decide yourself.” Fang Tian made a shooing motion with his hands impatiently. “Alright, I’ll continue listening to my storytelling. You go ahead and have fun yourself.”

What do you mean by have fun myself? Seeing that Fang Tian actually ignored him and continued listening to his “Ambishuang”, Yang Ming could only push the door and walk out of the room.

He muttered to himself in his heart. From the way Wang Songshan talked to me today, the possibility of him wanting to regret it is very huge. Does he really want me to be the son-in-law of the Butterfly Family? It wasn’t that Yang Ming was being boastful, thinking that he had such charming demeanor. It was mainly because he had presented himself to be too powerful. With just one phone call, he already took care of the Butterfly Family’s biggest problem. It was impossible for Wang Songshan to not be shaken by his capability. If he became the son-in-law of the Butterfly Family, then he would be a supporting pillar for the Butterfly Family, and allow their strength to grow.

If Yang Ming was in Wang Songshan’s position, he would definitely have these kinds of thoughts as well. It wasn’t because Yang Ming was overconfident in himself.

As he thought about this matter, Yang Ming decided that if he must not catch the eye of the Butterfly Family’s Miss when he meets her later on. Before this, he held an indifferent attitude since everything was just for show after all. However, since Wang Songshan had most likely gotten this mindset, then he must not let the Butterfly Family’s princess fall for him. Otherwise, if the father and daughter were to cooperate, and if Wang Ruoshui forced Fang Tian a little, then the possibility of him being forced to marry her would largely increase. Yang Ming had to put up his guard around them.

Yang Ming couldn’t help but feel scared after thinking through the details in the middle of the matter. It seems like I have to do something. Otherwise, I might really be fancied with my handsome looks.

It can’t be helped. It seems like I have to pretend, and present myself with an image which a woman hates the most. With that, the little princess of the Butterfly Family will never want to see me again. I should be able to avoid any further trouble.

Sigh. For the sake of justice, the handsome Assassin Yang has to go through all these self-shaming acts.

What Wang Xiaoyan didn’t expect was that Yang Ming would have the same mindset as her. This must really be the lover’s telepathy since even their train of thoughts were similar.

At night, the whole Butterfly Castle was engulfed in a joyful festive atmosphere. Wang Songshan was a little anxious seeing that Wang Xiaoyan was still not out of the room even though it was almost time. He went to knock on her door. “Yanyan, it is almost time for the two sides to meet. Why haven’t you come out yet?”

“Dad, didn’t you ask me to dress up properly? I’m still dressing myself.” Wang Xiaoyan looked at the watch on her wrist. Isn’t there still half an hour? Why is he rushing me? If I were to go out now, my father will definitely chase me back inside and ask me to dress up again. If I wait until the final moment, then even if my father does not approve of my appearance, he will have no choice either.

“Oh… Then hurry up…” When he heard that his daughter was dressing up, Wang Songshan had no choice but to wait impatiently in front of her door.

On the other side, Yang Ming was also preparing himself in an orderly manner. Old Man Fang’s voice came from the other side of the room. “Yang Ming, you little brat, what are you doing? It’s almost time. Don’t play the disappearing game with me.”

“No, I’m not. I don’t know which shirt is suitable, so I’m still choosing right now.” However, Yang Ming wasn’t choosing his clothes, but changing it.

The clothes in the room were given to him by the Butterfly Family’s servants to let him pick his own choice of clothes. He felt that his handsomeness would still remain no matter which clothes he wore. They would contribute nothing to spoiling his image. He was left with no choice but to alter the design of the clothes himself.

“Why did you lock the door? Quickly open it. Let me help you choose your clothes.” When Fang Tian heard Yang Ming’s voice, he was not as worried anymore. Thank god this brat didn’t run away.

“Wait for a while. It’s going to be done soon.” Yang Ming shook the robes he made and wore it. He looked at himself from both sides of the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

After wearing his clothes, Yang Ming took out a thumb ring and wore it on his hand. This ring was stolen from Wang Songshan’s antique room. With how agile Yang Ming was, stealing these kinds of stuff was very simple.

He simply took a pair of sunglasses and wore them on his face. After that, he did a creepy smile while facing the mirror. Perfect! I am such a genius! Touching his bald head which he had deliberately shaven after making up his mind, he thought to himself, My appearance now is really similar to a villain. There’s practically no difference.

I never expected to have talent in disguising myself. This was the first time that Yang Ming had put on makeup after becoming an assassin. Obviously, the results were so successful that even he did not recognize himself. If he wasn’t afraid of exposing his ability to change his face, Yang Ming wouldn’t have wasted so much effort to put on make-up. He would have just changed his face to a gross looking man since it wasn’t anything hard.

Seeing how the time was almost up, Yang Ming took a cigar and pushed the room door open.

“Holy crap! Who are you?” Fang Tian was waiting for Yang Ming by the door. When he saw the door opening, he wanted to scold the brat for delaying so much. But before he could open his mouth, he saw a bald man wearing sunglasses while holding a cigar. He was also wearing a set of evil-looking robes, and there was a rich man’s ring on his finger. Who on earth is this guy?
