Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Attending the Banquet

Inside the Feng Residence, Old Sir Mu looked at Feng Xun, who lay on the couch with a green face, his forehead wrinkled into a "川" character.

"Damn it, how exactly were you taking care of Young Master?"

"Housekeeper Mu, we servants have advised the Young Master repeatedly that with the heavy dew at night, it is not suitable to keep the window open, but the Young Master did it for that golden square crane..." A group of servants were so scared that they kept kowtowing without end.

On the bed, in Feng Xun’s hand, there was a golden square crane.

He was holding it tightly, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch the crane away from him.

"What are you still kneeling here for? Go and invite the president over now." Just as Old Sir Mu was scolding those servants angrily.

Inside Feng Xun’s hand, a strand of Cauldron Breath, invisible to the naked eye, entered Feng Xun’s body from that golden Little Square Crane.

"Teacher, I’m fine." Feng Xun woke up, and although the cold energy inside his body was still very heavy, his complexion had returned to normal. Just now, at the moment when his Cold Syndrome was at its worst, Feng Xun felt a warm current entering his body.

It had temporarily suppressed the originally overwhelming cold energy within him.

"Young Master, you’re alright? Truly the ancestors and forefathers of the Feng Family have blessed you." Old Sir Mu muttered to himself.

At this time, President Mo Chen from the Alchemist Association also hurried over and examined Feng Xun.

"Young Master Feng Xun’s body is fine; he just needs to rest properly. Strangely enough, compared to a few days ago, the cold energy in your body seems to have weakened a bit. Could it be that you have taken some spiritual medicine recently?" Mo Chen couldn’t help but marvel.

"Spiritual Medicine it’s not, but... it’s getting late, and we have troubled the president with a late-night visit. Once Feng Xun feels better, he will come to visit another day." Feng Xun was speaking when he suddenly paused and issued an order to see the guest out.

Old Sir Mu, afraid of disturbing his rest, left with a puzzled-looking President Mo Chen.

"Brother Mu, will Young Master Feng attend the birthday banquet at the governor’s mansion tomorrow?" After leaving the room, President Mo Chen asked.

Although Feng Xun’s identity was special, after all, this was Li City, and Governor Lan was the local official. By etiquette, it would be appropriate to visit.

"The Young Master did intend to visit, but he’s not feeling well at the moment. I can only go on his behalf tomorrow." Old Sir Mu sighed.

Inside the room, the candlelight crackled, and Feng Xun lowered his eyes, staring at the Little Square Crane he held in his hand.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the thing that had eased his Cold Syndrome was indeed this little golden square crane.

After unfolding the square crane, there were several new lines of ink on it.

"

Nothing in the world is difficult,

Nor is there an incurable disease.

I send you a Fortune Crane,

May it heal all your ailments.

"

A Fortune Crane?

The square crane is still the same one as before, yet there is something different about it.

Feng Xun’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and perhaps it was due to the light, a ripple-like amber color flickered in the depths of his eyes.

On the morning of the second day, Little Golden Crane did not return immediately, and Ye Lingyue did not take it to heart.

For her, that critically ill noble young master and Little Golden Crane were just minor interludes.

Today was the day of the governor’s mansion’s birthday feast, and she must go alone to the governor’s mansion.

Early in the morning, Ye Lingyue was pulled out of bed by her fifth maternal aunt.

The aunt brought out a whole new set of clothes and some jewelry that women love, dressing up Ye Lingyue with great care.

It took a full two hours for Ye Lingyue to change into her clothes. She was wearing a light blue Cloud Brocade long skirt with a tasseled fringe on her forehead.

Fortunately, since her fifth aunt saw that Ye Lingyue had a good complexion, she did not apply too much makeup, just outlined her eyebrows. By the time Ye Lingyue appeared in front of the Ye family again, she had already become a beautiful and lovely lady.

For this birthday feast at the governor’s mansion, Ye Lingyue herself did not think much of it, but the Ye Residence took it very seriously, as if facing a great enemy.

Officially, Ye Lingyue was representing the Ye Family at the birthday feast, and since the invitation only included her name, it was not appropriate for other members of the Ye Residence to accompany.

However, if Ye Lingyue could use this opportunity to form good relations with the governor’s mansion, she would inadvertently have laid a solid foundation for the Ye Family’s establishment in Li City.

But the likes of Ye Huangyun were worried that Ye Lingyue, being too young, might find it difficult to handle such a big event, and so they instructed her to speak less and listen more, and absolutely not to offend anyone.

After being repeatedly reminded, Ye Lingyue boarded the carriage prepared by the Ye Family and headed towards the governor’s mansion.

Before departing, Ye Lingyue also obtained some information about Li City’s Governor Lan Yingwu from her fifth uncle.

Lan Yingwu, who had only been transferred to Li City last year, was said to have been a general in the military camp before becoming the governor.

He later had to leave the military due to a leg disease and entered politics.

Though he had only been in Li City for a year, his reputation was immensely high, partly because before his arrival, there were many pirates prevalent in the Lishui area.

So-called pirates were bandits who committed crimes on the waters. These robbers gave the previous Li City governors much trouble, but on the very first day of his tenure, Governor Lan Yingwu personally led ten of his personal soldiers to eradicate over five hundred of these pirates in the Lishui area.

It was said that the fighting that night had turned the river of Lishui red, which took several days to dissipate.

Since then, there has not been the slightest hint of disturbance in the Lishui area.

The other three major forces within Li City—the Alchemist Association, Juqi Tower, and Mountain and Sea Gang—all bowed down to the governor’s mansion.

As for Lan Yingwu’s daughter, Lan Cai’er, she was a tiger-like general’s daughter. It was said that when she was in the Imperial City, she ranked tenth in the Imperial Examination, and was regarded as one of the best among the young generation in Daxia.

With such a formidable father-daughter pair in the governor’s mansion, it enjoyed a prestigious reputation within Li City, and no one dared to challenge them.

"Lan family father and daughter, it seems they are worth getting close to," Ye Lingyue murmured to herself after reviewing the information, with a depth in her eyes that betrayed her young age.

Although Ye Lingyue never revealed it in front of her mother Ye Huangyu, she had always been clear in her heart that one day, she would return to the Imperial City.

Simply because in the Imperial City, there was the Hong Residence!

Ye Huangyu had never spoken about it in front of Ye Lingyue, but the Ye Family Servants vaguely mentioned how they, mother and daughter, had been treated by the Hong Residence.

To discard their wife and daughter, to expel the helpless mother and child from their home—the Hong Residence, as long as I, Ye Lingyue, live another day, I will personally!

Visit!

Harshly!

The carriage suddenly jolted, and Ye Lingyue, who was originally seated inside, braced herself against the wall of the carriage, barely managing to stabilize her posture.

"Who is the blind one daring to block the path of the Mountain and Sea Gang’s carriage?" Ye Lingyue heard an arrogant voice from outside the carriage, through the curtain.
