On Jiangshi Mountain, the moonlight poured down on a huge magnificent palace. There were many men in black, wearing black masks walking around the palace silently as if they were afraid of awakening someone.
Inside one of the rooms, a man with sharp features was sitting on the bed, leaning his back against the headboard, while closing his eyes tiredly.
Another man dressed in white, who appeared to be an elegant person, was concentrating on checking the man’s pulse. After a short while, another man in black came in with a bowl in his hands. “Young Master Fu, the medicine is here.”
“Thank you.” Fu Hanji retracted his hand and took the medicine bowl from the other party before passing it to the man sitting on the bed.
The man grabbed the bowl and drank it without saying anything.
Fu Hanji sighed, then he began to talk like an old mother hen. “Your highness, I’m not a saint doctor. You’re not an immortal either. Can you please be more extra careful next time? You should know that lots of people want to kill you.”
Noticing that a certain person on the bed didn’t at all pay attention to what he had said, Fu Hanji could only continue. “If you don’t think about yourself, you should also think about Xiao Lei, Prince Jun, and Princess Yong Rou. They are all under your wing, and they also don’t wish you to be injured every time you return.”
The other party’s action of putting the medicine bowl on the table nearby paused slightly. He lifted his eyes, glancing coldly at old mother hen Fu before retracting his gaze expressionlessly. “I know. You talk so much.”
Fu Hanji coughed in embarrassment. This couldn’t be blamed on him either. Who told him to be friends with such an untalkative and aloof person? Furthermore, this person wasn’t even afraid of death. Every time this ancestor came back, he would be at least wounded. Sometimes light injuries, and some other days would be severe injuries.
Just like today, if he couldn’t find the thousand-year-old ginseng, Fu Hanji didn’t know whether with his godly medical skill would be able to save this lord from the death gate.
There was a sudden knock on the door. Fu Hanji glanced succinctly at the man on the bed. “Come in.”
The man in black walked in with an emotionless face. He hurriedly knelt on one knee, and cupped his hands together. “Master.”
Fu Hanji knew that the other party came here to report so he got up, intending to leave.
The man on the bed noticed Fu Hanji’s movement. “You stay.”
Fu Hanji was stunned but smiled gently before sitting back in his original place. In fact, there was nothing to hide from him. After all, he was also a person under the Dark Palace, one of the Palace Lord’s confidants as well.
“Bai Jun, report now.”
Getting his master’s permission. Bai Jun quicking confided the information that the spy in the palace had brought to him. “His Majesty had written down the decree of wanting the Second Miss of the Feng Family married into the Duke of Xing household.”
When these words had been spoken out. Fu Hanji was shocked. The temperature in the room immediately dropped to a certain degree. The man sitting on the bed had a gloomy face, even though at this moment, he was injured and had a pale face. It still couldn’t conceal his sharp and cold features.
Bai Jun and Fu Hanji didn’t dare to breathe. Both of them could only close their mouths tightly, fearing that they would let out some sounds.
The man closed his eyes, and asked coldly, “When will the decree be sent out?”
Bai Jun: “Tomorrow…”
The man rubbed his brows and sighed. “You can leave.”
Bai Jun stood up, cupped his hands together, and bowed before retreating.
Fu Hanji looked at the man’s expression. He felt a little complicated. “Ah Yan, I think we can do nothing about this matter. And this isn’t a good time for you to oppose His Majesty’s order either.”
Long Huayan didn’t say anything.
Fu Hanji continued. “About this Second Miss of the Feng Family. I heard that she is the laughingstock of the entire Shing Capital. She is also good for nothing and a fool.” Fu Hanji’s expression worsened upon thinking of the monarch’s intention. “His Majesty intended to use this Second Miss of the Feng Family to suppress you.”
Keeping a fool as the mistress in the manor, and having the most powerful Duke of Xing marry a good for nothing as his wife, wasn’t this identically making fun of the Duke of Xing?
The more Fu Hanji thought about it, the more anxious he became. “How are you going to handle this matter?”
Long Huayan’s expression didn’t change. Though he was as cold as before. “Marry her.”
Fu Hanji opened his eyes wide. “You really wanted to take her as your wife?”
He didn’t mean to belittle the Second Miss of the Feng Family. But he was just shocked that a person like Long Huayan dared to take her as his wife. Everyone knew that this man was powerful, so in Fu Hanji’s eyes, a woman that was worthy of Long Huayan should be at least someone, who was strong enough to be on par with him.
Long Huayan glanced at him without any expression on his face. “Is there any other choice?”
Fu Hanji sighed helplessly. “No.”
Long Huayan fiddled with the small golden bell in his hand, and said somewhat absent-mindedly. “Maybe this is also a good thing.”
…
Inside Peizhi Courtyard, the young man was holding a sword in his hand. His expression was cold and murderous as if he was standing on the battlefield, slaughtering all the people that blocked his path.
The teenager’s powerful aura made the onlookers admired very much. Feng Mingyue watched Feng Baiming revealing his sword movement. The more she looked, the more she appreciated the other party’s talent.
After another five minutes, Feng Baiming put down his sword, turning his head to Feng Mingyue. The other party smiled at him. “Amazing, you already have a strong foundation. Looks like, only you trained in the underground training area will make you more approved.”
Feng Baiming was surprised. “Underground training area?”
Feng Mingyue hooked the corner of her mouth. “My place.”
The two siblings sat on the rock, looking up at the full moon that appeared in the night sky.
“You don’t have anything you want to ask?” Feng Mingyue suddenly asked out of the blue.
The young man glanced at her in bafflement.
Feng Mingyue sat relaxedly. “Aren’t you curious?”
Feng Baiming: “For example?”
Feng Mingyue turned her head to the teenager. Her mouth arched up into a slight playful smile. “For example, why did I suddenly become a spiritual martial artist. Why did I look more courageous than before? Why am I not looking like a fool?”
Hearing this, Feng Baiming’s face was calm. “Perhaps, you have been acting since the beginning after the death of the old madam.”
Feng Mingyue laughed. In fact, it was because the soul in this body had changed but she couldn’t tell the young man like this either and what he had said also made sense.
When Feng Mingyue stopped laughing. The two fell into silence again. Feng Baiming suddenly said, “Sister, I want to sever ties with the Feng Family.”
Feng Mingyue was stunned. Wei Xue and Sheng Yi, who were sitting on the tree about three meters away from them, accidentally heard this, and couldn’t help glancing at the teenager’s calm face.
“Reason.”
Feng Baiming took a deep breath and lowered his head.“There’s no use for me staying in that kind of place.” His voice was cold. “I hate them but I couldn’t do anything to them.”
The young man looked up at the beautiful lady in front of him. “Sister, I want to become stronger. I want revenge. Only when I become strong will these people know how to be afraid.”
Feng Mingyue stared fixedly at Feng Baiming’s serious face. “What is your plan? Leaving the Feng Family?”
The other party nodded. “Yes, I will find a place to work. I don’t want to have any connection with them ever again.”
Feng Mingyue smiled. “How about you go and train in the underground training area at the Yunru Restaurant and be their young master.”
Feng Baiming was stunned for a short while. Then he realized what his sister meant. “Sister, you…”
Did his sister know the owner of the Yunru Restaurant or was she…
“I’m the owner of the Yunru Restaurant. You’re my brother, if you live there, you will be their young master.”
