ed with a smile."Then let's eat quickly, and after eating, we'll go into the mountains." Nan Lingrui also wanted to see this magnet that Yun Qianyue had mentioned; he agreed enthusiastically with her...Chapter 60 A Profound Affection

Wind Jin was the first to notice Yun Qianyue's arrival, slightly raising his eyebrows and then pretending not to know her as he sized her up.

In her heart, Yun Qianyue rolled her eyes and raised an eyebrow at Wind Jin in response. Pretend away! There’s nothing wrong with that! Old General Feng has always been loyal to the old emperor. By putting on a show for him, the old emperor will believe even more that Wind Jin is from her mother's side, making it possible for him to stay by her side under his identity as someone within the Cloud Royal Manor.

"So my sister returned! I was wondering why Grandpa suddenly has such fragrant tea!" Yun Xianghe also spotted Yun Qianyue and proudly watched her approach with a smile that grew even wider.

The Old Commander of the Cloud Royal Manor and Old General Feng both looked at Yun Qianyue. The old commander harrumphed, while Old General Feng's eyes flickered slightly.

As if she hadn't heard what Yun Xianghe said, Yun Qianyue came to the table and called out to the old commander, "Grandpa! I'm back!"

This simple statement caused a momentary change in the old commander's expression. He looked at Yun Qianyue; her eyebrows were clear, and her demeanor was calm. Even though she stood casually, there was an air of composure around her that was evident. He harrumphed, saying, "Stupid brat, you're back—what’s the big deal"

Yun Qianyue rolled her eyes; this old geezer never said anything nice to her.

"Old General Feng, it's rare for you to come to our house. Hurry up and pay your respects!" The old commander harrumphed again.

"Ah, it’s Old General Feng! I hadn't remembered what you looked like since you last left the manor!" Yun Qianyue turned toward Old General Feng and gave him a slight bow with a smile. "I was wondering why my eldest sister is so happy today! It's because of your arrival!"

"Miss Yun Qianyue, that’s not necessary," Old General Feng smiled and nodded, surprised by how proper she was for someone from a noble family.

"My eldest sister doesn’t get along well with my grandpa. It seems her favorite person is you! I’ve never seen her fetch tea or water for him like this!" Yun Qianyue observed as Yun Xianghe stood close to Old General Feng, refilling his empty cup. She continued smiling and said, "Indeed, women tend to favor outsiders!"

Old General Feng's expression changed slightly; he waved his hand, saying, "Miss Yun Qianyue, that’s not the case! I have only this one granddaughter whom I naturally love dearly. The eldest daughter is very filial towards the old commander and even asked for a pair of snuff bottles to give him before returning home." He then pointed at a pair of emerald green snuff bottles on the table, saying, "Miss Yun Qianyue, look—those are them!"

"Oh! So my eldest sister was thinking about grandpa" Yun Qianyue nodded and looked at Yun Xianghe. Seeing that her smile had returned after it faltered earlier, she raised an eyebrow and said coolly, "But doesn’t your eldest sister know that grandpa no longer likes snuff bottles"

"Did you say Grandpa doesn't like snuff bottles anymore" Yun Xianghe was stunned and looked at Old General Feng.

Old General Feng glanced at the old commander and said with a smile, "I’ve served in office alongside him for years and have always had a good relationship. I married Gold Pearl to Cloud Commander because he has always enjoyed snuff bottles. How can Miss Yun Qianyue say otherwise Moreover, these snuff bottles are one of our founding ancestor’s treasures, carved from jade that was accidentally discovered during the time when he built his empire. Our ancestor had them made into a pair of snuff bottles which were placed on his desk. After he passed away, Emperor Taizu kept this pair in the treasury. Twenty years ago, I received military honors for a great deed and the emperor, out of kindness, bestowed these snuff bottles upon me since he knew I liked them too. I've never used them. Yesterday when I took them out to play with, Xianghe saw them and said her grandpa also likes them, insisting on taking them."

"My grandpa used to like them but now doesn't," Yun Qianyue picked up the snuff bottles in her hand, casually playing with them before suddenly tossing them up. She heard several people gasp simultaneously; Yun Xianghe even cried out in alarm. She caught the bottles and placed them before the old commander, smiling at him: "Grandpa, tell my eldest sister if you really don't like snuff bottles anymore so she doesn’t waste her efforts"

"Hmph!" The old commander turned his face away.

“See, your eldest sister, grandpa already said he’s not interested! You’ve wasted a lot of effort for nothing!” Yun Qianyue turned to look at Yun Xianghe with a smile.

Yun Xianghe pointed at Yun Qianyue, her face turning pale. "You... put those down quickly! These snuff bottles are very precious! Don’t break them!"

"Eldest sister, didn't you hear what I said I said grandpa doesn't like them," Yun Qianyue ignored Yun Xianghe’s warning and continued tossing the snuff bottles up and catching them again. She repeated to her, "I told you he no longer likes them."

"Cloud Qianyue! Did you not hear what I said Be careful!" At this moment, Yun Xianghe didn’t care whether or not the old commander liked them; in her eyes were only those precious snuff bottles. According to Old General Feng, these belonged to their founding ancestor, so how much must they be worth

"Oh! She dropped them!" Yun Qianyue suddenly threw the snuff bottles high up into the air. They flew in two straight green lines towards the sky, and she攤開雙手，看向雲香荷笑道：“Big Sister, I’ll listen to you and throw them away."

"You..." Cloud Fragrance Plum fainted as her body went limp upon seeing Yun Qianyue.

So this is what a person’s true colors are! Yun Qianyue sneered inwardly.

"Miss Yun, those snuff bottles were given to you by the emperor himself! They’re treasures among jade!" The Old General Feng also ignored Cloud Fragrance Plum and leapt up in anger as he glared at Yun Qianyue. "How could you throw them away"

"Big Sister told me to do it!" Yun Qianyue looked at the old general innocently.

“You… You…” The Old General Feng stammered, unable to find words. He then lost consciousness and fell straight down onto the ground. Since the floor was paved with jade stones, Cloud Fragrance Plum would be fine after falling once, but he was seventy years old; one could only imagine what a fall might do to him.

Yun Qianyue gently waved her sleeves and the Old General Feng softly collapsed on the ground without any injury.

"You naughty girl! Hurry up and catch those snuff bottles! If they break, I won’t let it go!" The old marquis glared at Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue stuck out her tongue at the old marquis. She lightly tapped her toe on the ground and leaped into the air; with a flick of her sleeves, she caught the snuff bottles and landed gracefully. She shook her sleeves and raised an eyebrow to the old marquis, "You want this pair of snuff bottles"

“Who wouldn’t want such treasures I’ve been coveting them for years!” The old marquis harrumphed.

"So when you see these snuff bottles, you’re thinking about marrying into the Prince Xiaoqing’s mansion" Yun Qianyue raised an eyebrow again.

“What is there to fear about a marriage alliance With the first one comes the second. If we marry into the Prince Xiaoqing’s mansion now and then join with the Prince Rong’s, everything will be legitimate. Little girl, you know nothing!” The old marquis scolded her before stretching out his hand for the snuff bottles. "Give me this pair of snuff bottles!"

"Can one say that I don’t think so," Yun Qianyue pouted.

“Anyway, since these snuff bottles have been sent here, they can’t be returned. She’s just a concubine-born girl who stays in the manor and causes trouble; if she gets married, that’s fine!” The old marquis stared at Yun Qianyue's sleeves indifferently.

“You speak so easily！” Yun Qianyue turned her back to him. Seeing the old marquis glare, she ignored him and called out to Cloud Meng who was waiting by the door, "Uncle Meng!"

"Miss Yun, here I am!" Cloud Meng was terrified; those snuff bottles were indeed treasures, it would be a pity if they got broken. Fortunately Miss Yun had caught them!

“I saw that Old General Feng’s carriage is still parked at the front door. Have two people carry him out and send him back to his house,” Yun Qianyue pretended to sigh as she looked at the unconscious Old General Feng, “Old General Feng must be old; he can’t handle the shock anymore. Tell the servants of the Feng family that they should advise their general in the future not to come out casually like this! Especially don’t run over to Yun Manor if there’s nothing important going on. If something unfortunate happens and the Emperor reprimands us, we’d be at a loss!”

Cloud Meng glanced at the old marquis and saw him glowering at Yun Qianyue, while Yun Qianyue acted as if she didn’t see anything. He immediately responded with a wave of his hand; two servants in front of the courtyard came running over to carry Old General Feng out from the yard of the old marquis.

"Uncle Meng! Send Miss First Sister back to Fragrant Lotus Courtyard too. She seems not very well, so it’s better for her to stay put and rest. Find a doctor for her; let her recuperate in Fragrant Lotus Courtyard for some time. Keep an eye on the courtyard—without my instructions, she can’t leave the manor at will, as she needs to take good care of herself when sick. As her younger sister, I must look after her," Yun Qianyue added.

"Yes!" Cloud Meng thought Miss Yun was planning to confine his master by soft means—instead of confronting Old General Feng directly, he sent him back quietly without a word. He waved his hand; Jade Bracelet and two people immediately came forward and carried the unconscious Cloud Fragrance Plum away. Glancing at the old marquis, who remained silent, he turned around to leave.

Instantly, only the old marquis, Feng Jin, and Yun Qianyue were left in the tea pavilion of the inner courtyard.

"Grandpa! I can give you this pair of snuff bottles, but Cloud Fragrance Plum won’t marry into Prince Xiaoqing’s mansion. Let me be clear on that," Yun Qianyue said to the old marquis and waved her sleeves again; the snuff bottles in her sleeves clinked together with a metallic sound. Seeing the old marquis draw in his breath, she smiled at him. “You are getting old now, it’s time for you to rest and enjoy your life. Even if you wish to meddle in trivial matters, you’re no longer capable of doing so. Isn’t that right”

The Old Marquis Yun snorted and said angrily, "You brat, dare you damage my snuff bottle even a little bit I won’t let you off the hook!"

After The Old Marquis Yun spoke, Yun Qianmo suddenly flung her sleeves twice more, making a louder sound from the pair of snuff bottles. Seeing that The Old Marquis was glaring at her even more furiously, she stopped and said to him with a smile, "Not only does Commander Feng know you well, but so does His Majesty! That’s why he asked Commander Feng to send this pair of snuff bottles as a bribe to buy your favor. But if these snuff bottles break... Would you still be able to enjoy them"

"You dare!" The Old Marquis Yun was furious.

"Or are you so old that you can only play with things for a few more years Look at Commander Feng, who once galloped across battlefields and radiated an imposing aura. He wasn’t frightened off by hundreds of thousands of troops back then. But now… Just a pair of snuff bottles have frightened him senseless Isn't this laughable" Yun Qianmo raised her eyebrows. She saw The Old Marquis Yun go silent, so she leaned in and whispered to him, "So, Grandpa, starting today, you should continue playing sick! Your age is the same as Commander Feng’s now, and neither of you can handle being frightened."

"You stinking brat! Now that your memories are back, you’re showing off again in front of an old man like me!" The Old Marquis Yun snorted disdainfully. "Don’t you remember how scared you were to see me two months ago"

The worst thing was to rip open someone’s wound! Yun Qianmo immediately became furious, saying, "I think you really don't want this pair of snuff bottles!"

The Old Marquis Yun glared at her. “Give me these snuff bottles and I’ll pretend to be sick! Otherwise, forget it! I’m going to agree with Commander Feng about marrying that girl off to the Xiaoqin王府！”

"I originally wanted to scare you and then hand over the pair of snuff bottles to you. But now, I feel like giving them to you is worse than breaking them!" Yun Qianmo suddenly threw the snuff bottles out from her sleeves. This time, she didn’t throw it forward but behind.

The Old Marquis Yun immediately stood up.

"Grandpa, don’t faint! I won’t catch you!" Yun Qianmo lazily glanced at The Old Marquis Yun. Damn old man, if I don't give you a taste of your own medicine, you’ll never know that I’m your granddaughter!

"You brat, hurry up and catch them! Whatever you say, I’ll agree to it," said The Old Marquis Yun as he saw the snuff bottles about to fall. Finally, his tone softened. Why didn’t she just tell me this from the beginning Yun Qianmo stretched out her foot and kicked back, making the two snuff bottles land at her toes. She gently flicked them up so that they flew over her head. She heard a gasp behind The Old Marquis Yun, and smiled as she caught the snuff bottles in hand and turned around to look behind her. A man of similar age to Cloud Prince stood some distance away. Although he was old, his body was straight like an arrow, dressed in deep gray robes with cloud designs embroidered on the hem. He had no beard and a weathered face that still hinted at his past glory. Yun Qianmo looked at the elderly man and raised her eyebrows slightly, asking, "Grandpa Rong, what brings you to Cloud Manor today"

This was the first time she’d seen Grandpa Rong in five years! Who would’ve thought he’d come personally to Cloud Manor today What day is it today Has every elderly person hiding behind each manor decided to make a move Is Little Yun Xianghe really that powerful, or have they all sensed something different about the old emperor and want to instigate internal conflicts among the four major princely houses

"You’ve grown taller!" Grandpa Rong said with a smile as he looked at Yun Qianmo. "Now you can scare your grandpa."

“Grandpa doesn’t act his age, so it’s fine to scare him. He is robust and can handle being scared.” Yun Qianmo tossed the snuff bottles back and forth before walking over to Grandpa Rong. She asked straight out, “Does Grandpa Rong not want me to marry into the Yong王府”

"You stinking brat! Is this how you talk You’re shameless!" The Old Marquis Yun cursed.

Ignoring The Old Marquis Yun, Yun Qianmo looked at Grandpa Rong. She thought it was no wonder people said that the Yong王府 produced handsome men! Even a seventy-year-old man could be so refined and elegant—no wonder the Ye household’s men were envious! Although their house was paved with gold bricks and they sat high on golden thrones, there was always someone standing below, overshadowing even those seated atop the throne. No one would feel comfortable with that for long; resentment would build up and eventually lead to wanting to destroy it all.

"I originally wasn’t very inclined," Grandpa Rong nodded.

“Now” Yun Qianmo raised her eyebrows.

“Not much, either,” said Grandpa Rong.

“Then if I give you this pair of snuff bottles, would you want me to marry in then” Yun Qianmo asked.

"You brat! You dare!" The Old Marquis Yun was furious. "Are you trying to suck up before even marrying Even I feel ashamed for you. Can’t you find a husband How urgent is this, anyway Don't forget that you haven't come of age yet!"

Yun Qianmo pretended not to hear and ignored The Old Marquis Yun.

"Hmm! If you have already presented this pair of snuff bottles to Grandpa Rong, then out of gratitude for his generosity, I'll reluctantly agree!" The elderly Duke of Rong glanced at the furious Elderly Duke Yun and chuckled.

"Very well then! Here they are!" Cloud Qianyue readily stuffed the pair of snuff bottles into the hands of the elderly Duke of Rong. She instructed him, "Keep your word!"

"Of course!" The elderly Duke of Rong took the snuff bottles and played with them for a moment before nodding with a smile.

"You stinking brat! You already start siding with others before you even get married!" Elderly Duke Yun suddenly swung his cane at Cloud Qianyue.

Cloud Qianyue did not dodge and reached out to grasp the incoming cane. She told Elderly Duke Yun, "Grandpa, don't use too much force when you're sick; it might harm your muscles and bones." After saying this, she pushed the cane aside, no longer looking at Elderly Duke Yun. Instead, she turned to Feng Jin, saying, "Come, follow me to Qianyue Pavilion."

Feng Jin remained seated.

"You stinking brat! Do you know who he is Why should he listen to you and go with you just because of your orders" Elderly Duke Yun clenched his cane tightly, clearly quite angry.

Cloud Qianyue rolled her eyes. This person had been by her side for a decade and had thrown three of the biggest tantrums in that time. How could she not know who he was Seeing Feng Jin still seated, she ignored Elderly Duke Yun and turned to leave.

Feng Jin suddenly stood up and followed Cloud Qianyue out of the courtyard.

Elderly Duke Yun stared at Feng Jin but said nothing. The elderly Duke of Rong smiled as he watched him. He imitated Cloud Qianyue by tossing the snuff bottles and catching them, then told Elderly Duke Yun with a smile, "Elder Yun, you and I are getting old. Why bother arguing with the younger generation Even if you call out to them, they won't listen. It's better to save your strength! Let them cause trouble if they want to; after all these years of enduring pressure from Cloud王府 and 榮王府, it's time for a change!"

"Hmph, Elder Rong, you say such things only because you got the snuff bottles! Give me that pair of snuff bottles!" Elderly Duke Yun put down his cane and angrily shouted, "You stinking brat!"

"No can do. These are my granddaughter's offerings to me; how could I give them to you" The elderly Duke of Rong tucked the snuff bottles into his chest pocket.

"You shameless old man!" Elderly Duke Yun watched with eyes wide as the elderly Duke of Rong put the snuff bottles away, and scolded him, "The marriage isn't even officially announced yet! You're already thinking about that My granddaughter is not your granddaughter-in-law!"

"That dot will be drawn sooner or later; taking these offerings first is fine." The elderly Duke of Rong walked over to sit opposite Elderly Duke Yun, and said to him, "Anger harms the body."

"You old fart! In the past, you strongly opposed it. Now that you can't stop it anymore, you come seeking my favor" Elderly Duke Yun glanced at the elderly Duke of Rong with disdain, and remarked, "To arrange for Prince Jing to marry the emperor's sixth princess You really are imaginative!"

"They've always been lukewarm about it. I just give them a little help to bring them together sooner; what's wrong with that Someone needs to play the role of the black sheep, right Well, you played red face long enough to nearly turn my grandson into your grandson but now you're giving me cold shoulders back home. If I don't stand up for my granddaughter, I might not even get a bowl of gruel." The elderly Duke of Rong poured himself a full cup of tea and sighed.

"That's because you lack guts!" Elderly Duke Yun snorted.

"People from the Rong王府 are not lacking in guts but rather prioritize the righteousness for all under heaven, forsaking personal interests for greater good." The elderly Duke of Rong sighed, "Elder Yun, you know this best. Don't remind me."

"Now that you're no longer afraid of being unrighteous towards the people" Elderly Duke Yun snapped back, "To put it simply, you all are still inferior to Jing! He dares act while none of you dare! What is righteousness for the people How much sacrifice has Rong王府 made For a hundred years, people have only remembered the kindness of the Night family; who remembers your 榮王府 You lack guts and let my Cloud王府 daughter suffer needlessly. Why should I"

"All karmic ties!" The elderly Duke of Rong's face darkened.

"Bull** about karmic ties! It’s just that you pretend to be righteous but are actually gutless." Elderly Duke Yun spat out harshly, "Not relying on anything else, I dare give my granddaughter to him because he dares tell me he wants her and is willing to rebel against the Night family's empire. In a hundred years, no one has dared say such words in 榮王府!"

The elderly Duke of Rong took a sip of tea but said nothing, showing no sign of anger from Elderly Duke Yun's outburst.

"Hmph! In a hundred years, the Rong王府 finally produced someone with backbone!" The Old Marquis Yun hmphed again.

"The emperor surely won't allow the Rong王府 and the Yun王府 to intermarry. If both families want to marry, even if they don't make it public, unseen knives will still kill many people! After a century of peace for the common folk, another war would mean countless lives suffering!" The Old Marquis Rong put down his tea and sighed. "In the past, our ancestor was unjust in taking Empress Zhenjing away. Grandfather originally wanted to rebel, but later on, he felt sorry that the people had finally lived a peaceful life after much hardship, so out of benevolence, he sacrificed personal interests for the greater good. However, how could we let what grandfather gave up his entire happiness to gain turn into nothing in just one generation That's why there is this hundred years. Regardless of whether common folk remember the kindness of the Rong王府, the Rong王府 has indeed brought a century of peace and joy to them."

The Old Marquis Rong fell silent, not saying anymore, as if recalling the past, sighing inwardly. The Prince Rong was truly respected!

"A hundred years have passed now, behind the prosperity of Heaven Saint lies countless holes! Rich men feast while poor ones starve without shelter. The emperor wants to reclaim power and stabilize Heavenly Saint’s foundation. He sees the Rong王府 and Yun王府 as two major threats. No matter how loyal the Rong王府 and Yun王府 are to the people, they'll wait for their tombs to pile up like mountains! This point I can distinguish clearly!" The Old Marquis Rong sighed again, seemingly helpless. After his words faded away, he changed tone with a hint of pride: "Moreover, the Rong王府 has produced an unparalleled lover throughout history. Even if this grandson who would destroy ancestral graves does so, what's wrong with destroying a hundred-year foundation If he dares to burn crops today, tomorrow he'll dare to set fire to the imperial palace! He hasn’t learned anything from his ancestors’ dedication to the people."

"Old fool! Why no uprisings in Heavenly Saint despite years of either heavy rain or drought Without Jing Boy, even ten emperors would be busy going gray with worry! Do you say he doesn't care about the common folk" The Old Marquis Yun snorted coldly. "How much clothing and food does he distribute every year from his hands Otherwise, your Rong王府’s wealth could crush you many times over!"

"There's such a thing" The Old Marquis Rong clearly didn't know. "He had been ill in bed for these years!"

"You've spent all this time searching for medicine to cure your grandson, and yet you don’t know what he’s done behind the scenes! Do you think he only operates shops to earn silver and buy herbs" The Old Marquis Yun glanced at the other disdainfully and said, "Old fool!"

"How did you find out I didn't know, so according to reason, neither should you. I don’t believe you can surpass my all-seeing abilities!" The Old Marquis Rong frowned as he looked at the Old Marquis Yun.

"My little girl hid a book under my roof beam, recording everything about your grandson since childhood. She knows very clearly. It was discovered accidentally by this old man of mine. Our little girl is deeply affectionate towards your stinky kid!" The Old Marquis Yun took out a small black notebook from his pocket. The Old Marquis Rong immediately reached for it but quickly withdrew, holding out his hand instead and said, "Trade with me for snuff bottles! Or else I won't show you!"

The Old Marquis Rong's hand stiffened.

Old Marquis Yun raised an eyebrow. Very high!

"Don't tell me I can find out about my grandson’s affairs without asking The snuff bottles are from my future granddaughter-in-law, no way am I giving them up!" The Old Marquis Rong suddenly withdrew his hand and stood up to leave in a hurry.

"You old fool! Indeed cunning, once something falls into your hands don’t think about getting it back!" The Old Marquis Yun glared at the retreating figure of the other. Seeing him disappear instantly, he roared in rage: "Stupid girl! Knowing I like snuff bottles still giving them away! Disloyal! Highly disloyal! She's a traitor to her family, making me furious!"

He cursed for a while with no reply. He then stopped and his chest puffed up as he clenched his fists in anger, his beard quivering. After about two sticks of incense time, his rage finally subsided.

In this moment, Yun Meng walked over from outside to report softly: "Old Marquis, the Old Marquis De came and said that on behalf of His Majesty's father-in-law and him, he has come to make a match for our family’s eldest daughter and the Third Young Master of Xianxi王府!"

"No meeting! Tell him to go back where he came from!" The Old Marquis Yun stood up and strode into his room without looking back. He slammed the door shut tightly, kicked off his shoes and got into bed, pulling the covers over himself as he closed his eyes. Then suddenly remembering something, he ordered: "Jade Bracelet, prepare some medicine for me to alleviate headache! A big pot please, I'll drink half and send half to General Feng's home!"

"Yes!" Jade Bracelet replied with a suppressed laugh.

The Old Marquis Yun cursed again at the "stupid girl" without further sound.

Yun Meng glanced at Jade Bracelet, sighed and hurried to leave for the main gate. Thinking of how the old marquis had been fixated on those snuff bottles yet hadn't spoken properly with Miss Shy Moon, it was no wonder she would hand them over to the Old Marquis Rong. The old marquis was probably going to be upset for a few days.

"Old fool, he deserves such treatment!" Cloud Qianyue, who had never left and only hidden behind an apricot tree trunk, smiled seeing the Old Marquis Yun storming off. She tilted her head towards Feng Jin beside her: "Not angry anymore"

Feng Jin snorted and turned away, ignoring her.

"Feng Jin, I really regard you as family! Even as an older brother! The person I like or love is truly Rong Jing." Yun Qianmo said earnestly. There were two people he hated to hurt the most: one was Ye Tianyi and the other was Feng Jin. Unfortunately, it seemed that she had lost her memory because of Rong Jing, ultimately hurting both these individuals. Since Ye Tianyi was already so fixated on his path, she probably couldn’t change him or make him realize the truth, so she didn’t want Feng Jin to suffer a similar fate.

"I’ve always known that you like him! It’s not just a day or two; there's no need for you to emphasize this to me!" Feng Jin snorted coldly with the feeling of pent-up anger. "You say you regard me as family, but is this how you treat your family You actually plan on forgetting about me"

"So, you’ve always known that I like him!" Yun Qianmo suddenly smiled. "I know even if I forget everything else, you’re still my relative and will definitely come looking for me!"

Ye Tianyi came to look for you How did you treat him" Feng Jin snorted again.

The smile on Yun Qianmo’s face immediately faded. "Feng Jin, you are different from Ye Tianyi! Don’t compare yourself with him. Over the years, I’ve devoted myself wholeheartedly to helping him, and it was all done through your hands. Who would understand better than you When Ye Tianyi came back looking for me, everything depended on his choice. If he wanted to exhaust our friendship and assistance until there’s nothing left, then there’s nothing I can do! But as for you, ever since the day I saved your life, I’ve treated you as a relative!"

"If you dare forget about me again in the future, I’ll mobilize the Wind Pavilion to level the Purple Bamboo Garden of Prince Rong to the ground!" Feng Jin’s face softened slightly and he warned Yun Qianmo.

“Why not level the Yun Palace Moon Manor to the ground” Yun Qianmo raised her eyebrows.

Feng Jin didn’t answer Yun Qianmo but spat out two words, "Idiot!"

The moment Yun Qianmo was angry, she suddenly kicked Feng Jin down from the tree. Seeing him nearly falling face-first onto the ground, she gracefully landed beside him and said before he could get angry: “The Wind Pavilion Master has arrived! He’s currently a guest at Prince Rong’s residence! Would you like to go take a look”

Feng Jin’s anger immediately stopped; narrowing his eyes, he asked, "What is his purpose"

"He personally came to invite you!" Yun Qianmo said.

Feng Jin snorted. “Dream on!”

“Even if it’s a dream, you can go and listen to what conditions Rong Jing is discussing with him.” Yun Qianmo looked at Feng Jin and whispered, "If we can secure the ten hidden noble families for ourselves…"

"You want the ten hidden noble families" Feng Jin raised his eyebrows.

“This world will soon be in turmoil! Since the water is going to be stirred up one day, there won’t be any peaceful land or clear soil left for all the people. Why should we leave the ten recluse noble families their peace They have rested for a hundred years; perhaps they are already itching to take action If the old emperor can use them, why can't we make use of them too! Although you don’t go back to the Wind Pavilion now, that doesn’t mean you can’t bring it under your control.” Yun Qianmo said.

Feng Jin pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.

Yun Qianmo no longer spoke; she lightly touched her toes about to leave when Feng Jin grabbed her, asking, "Are you going to Prince Rong’s residence too"

"No! You go to Prince Rong’s residence, I’m heading to the Xiaoqin王府 to meet the third young master of talent at the Xiaoqin王府!" Yun Qianmo shook her head. Feng Jin let go of his hand, and she lightly touched her toes, using her lightness skills to go towards the Xiaoqin王府.

Feng Jin watched as Yun Qianmo’s figure disappeared; he pursed his lips and stood still for a moment before suddenly turning around and going toward Prince Rong’s residence with his lightness skills.

—Interlude —

Feng Jin is actually very cute! Ladies, do you agree o(n_n)o~ke a fright! If you weren’t smiling, I would have failed to notice you," Yun Qianyue thought. This person's martial arts skills were getting higher and higher; even she couldn't gauge his depth. She f...
