Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Sworn Brotherhood of Jin Lan

"How outrageous! The people of the Hong Residence are shameless, to treat Sister Ling Yue and her mother like this."

After Lan Cai’er and the Governor’s Wife arrived and listened to Ye Lingyue recount her life story, the irritable Lan Cai’er immediately blew up.

The Four Great Noble Marquis of Daxia are indeed mighty and prestigious within the boundaries of Daxia, and the people of the Hong Residence have always presented themselves as paragons of filial piety, brotherly respect, integrity, and righteousness. Who could have imagined that behind closed doors, they would commit such acts that enrage both the heavens and the people?

Even the usually gentle Governor’s Wife, upon hearing the tale, was filled with righteous indignation.

As a woman and a mother herself, the Governor’s Wife found it hard to imagine how Ye Huangyu, grievously injured at the time, managed to survive in the streets of Xia Capital with an ill infant in her arms.

"To think that Hong Fang is such a disgraceful man who abandoned his wife and child," Governor Lan said sympathetically after hearing the story.

Hong Fang, the bastard son of the Hong Residence, has been a well-known talent in both literature and martial arts in Xia Capital for many years. He entered civil service through his literary achievements.

However, in the realm of martial arts, he broke through to the Reincarnation Realm in his thirties, endured both the Reincarnation Fire Tribulation and the Reincarnation Water Tribulation, and is now an expert of the Reincarnation Second Realm, having been appointed the Crown Prince’s Grand Protector before the year’s end.

As for Hong Fang’s wife, Zhuge Rou, she has always been in harmony with her husband all these years, showing a picture of marital bliss, with two daughters and a son who are greatly favored.

The outside world never knew that Zhuge Rou was a wife who joined the Hong Residence later in life and was considered the despised mistress.

"Didn’t you bring this matter to the Ancestral Affairs Office back then?" In Daxia, a nation of etiquette, familial matters of noble families like the Hong Residence are not governed by regular officials but are supervised by the Ancestral Affairs Office.

"Master, you’re confused. That place, the Ancestral Affairs Office, is not accessible to those below the rank of Sixth-grade Officials," the Governor’s Wife shook her head.

"No matter what, I will seek justice for the wrongs my mother and I suffered in those years. Sister Lan, I’m sorry for keeping this from you all along." After getting to know Lan Cai’er, Ye Lingyue felt a connection and didn’t want to keep any more secrets from her good friend.

"Ling Yue, you have no need to apologize. You’ve helped me a lot, rest assured, I will definitely lend my full support when it comes to seeking justice from the Hong Residence," Lan Cai’er had long considered Ye Lingyue as her own sister.

If her own sister suffered an injustice, how could she, as an elder sister, just stand by and do nothing?

The Hong Residence may lead the Four Great Noble Marquis, but they have committed acts that defy all reason. If Ye Lingyue is an ant, then Lan Cai’er will help shake the towering tree of the Hong Residence.

"Cai’er, we need to take a long-term view on this matter. You and Ling Yue mustn’t act rashly, not to mention that the old Grandmaster Hong Qingyun of the Hong Residence is a master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and could break through to the Divine Power Realm at any moment. Even the younger generation of the Hong Residence has considerable strength; even you have suffered losses at their hands, let alone Ling Yue." The Governor’s Wife was really at a loss with her daughter, worried that the two girls might do something shocking together.

Xia Capital is not like Li City, where dragons and snakes mix; besides the Imperial Family, there are the Founding Marquis, the Four Great Noble Marquis, civilian forces led by Marquis, the Daxia Alchemist Tower, and so on, none of which are entities that a mere Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er can shake.

"Ling Yue, if you don’t mind, from now on, you can call me and the Governor adoptive mother and adoptive father. Before I married, my surname was also Ye, so you and I are both descendants of the Ye clan. From today onwards, we and Cai’er are your family, and I will regard you as my own daughter and sister," the Governor’s Wife stepped forward and took Ye Lingyue’s hand, looking at her with a kind face.

After hearing Ye Lingyue’s story, the Governor’s Wife felt not only affection but also added sympathy for the girl who was not yet fourteen, and she also wanted to meet Ye Huangyu.

Sharp as a tack, Lan Cai’er saw her parents agree and hurriedly brought over two cups of tea for Ye Lingyue to offer.

Ye Lingyue felt a warmth in her heart, and after kowtowing with a loud thump to Governor Lan and his wife, she offered the tea.

"Haha, good daughter, this cup of tea is not enough. You must bring ten jars of the finest Rainbow Five Treasures Brew," Governor Lan said jokingly.

"You shameless old man, still wanting to drink alcohol. Are you trying to scare our mother and daughters to death?" the Governor’s Wife scolded him without any courtesy, and twisted Governor Lan’s ear.

Upon seeing this, Ye Lingyue was taken aback; the Governor’s Wife who appeared gentle and graceful was actually...

"Lady, be gentler. My ear... our two daughters are here," Governor Lan said with an embarrassed face, winking furiously at Lan Cai’er, his face red as if it were cooked.

Lan Cai’er laughed out loud. She was quite accustomed to her parents’ "loving ways."

She took Ye Lingyue and walked out.

"Ling Yue, don’t take it the wrong way. My father is commanding and impressive outside the home, but he is under strict control of his wife at home. I’ve already asked Uncle Wen to arrange tonight’s banquet. From today onwards, you’ll be the second daughter of the governor’s mansion. Externally, just say that you’re taking my mother’s surname," Lan Cai’er said with the air of a big sister, patting her chest.

Overnight, Ye Lingyue had suddenly become the adoptive daughter of Governor Lan, a matter that filled everyone in the Ye Family with great joy.

Especially Ye Huangyu, who appeared utterly flattered and overwhelmed.

That night, she, along with Ye Gu and several others from the Ye Residence, were led to the governor’s mansion.

Using the spiritual fruits and vegetables grown in Hong Meng Heaven provided by Ye Lingyue, as well as the Rainbow Five Treasures Brew, the governor’s mansion was bustling with activity until late into the night.

While the governor’s mansion was brimming with excitement, over in another part of Li City, namely within the Mountain and Sea Gang, the mood was heavy with gloom.

Everyone in Li City knew about Governor Lan’s breakthrough to the Reincarnation Realm, and the one who felt the most dejected was Sha Kuang, the leader of the Mountain and Sea Gang.

Ever since Governor Lan arrived, the Mountain and Sea Gang had been forced to restrain themselves a lot, and with the addition of the Ye Family, the gang’s situation had become even worse.

"Have you confirmed it? Governor Lan’s breakthrough is really related to that little bitch of the Ye surname?" Sha Kuang had somehow found out that Governor Lan’s breakthrough was because of Ye Lingyue.

Previously, Sha Kuang wouldn’t have believed that a young girl who was only at the Body Refining Realm could possess the secret method to break through to the Reincarnation Realm.

But ever since Song Guangyi told Sha Kuang about how Ye Lingyue at the Refining Conference forged 100% pure Moon Iron, Sha Kuang began to doubt whether Ye Lingyue had some capabilities.

If he could also become a high-ranking practitioner in the Reincarnation Realm, he wouldn’t have to fear Governor Lan anymore.

By then, if he sought patronage under one of Daxia’s Four Great Noble Marquis, he could even serve as a general. At that time, beauties and power would be inexhaustible.

A venomous plot suddenly emerged in Sha Kuang’s mind. He decided that no matter what, he had to capture Ye Lingyue and force her to reveal the method to break through to the Reincarnation Realm.

As for how to capture her, he would have to start by dealing with the Ye Family.
