But in their hearts, Linghe and the others felt stifled by their Miss’s crazier and crazier behaviour.
Miss should not have damaged her head from the previous attack, right?
Ji Fengyan kept teaching Linghe and the rest how to cultivate and it went on like a raging fire.
Meanwhile, gloomy clouds shadowed the City Lord’s residence.
Ji Fengyan’s choice of mount really stunned Lei Xu, who was deeply afraid that His Majesty would hear about it and blame it on him. This feeling of pulling tricks on others but ending up slapping himself in the face with his own scheme was really unpleasant and it made Lei Xu feel so frustrated that he almost vomited blood. After he returned to his own residence, he immediately summoned his subordinates to deliver two mounts to Ji Fengyan’s place. As a result, not only were they not allowed entry, he also drove them away.
Ji Fengyan was really determined to keep that feeble young deer!
“Father, what do we do? Ji Fengyan will eventually have to enter the battlefield. If anyone knows about this, I’m afraid...” Lei Min’s expression was ghastly. Who would expect that Ji Fengyan would actually have this move? Instead of this outcome, it would have been better for them to directly bring the mounts there in the first place, at most, they just have to seize and detain it after Ji Fengyan had chosen.
Yet now, they completely have no chance at all.
Lei Xu’s brows tightly knitted together as he thought hard before saying, “You don’t have to be concerned about this matter anymore, I’ll get someone to choose a mount and keep it. If Your Majesty asks about it then, we will push all the blame to that stupid brat. We put in all our efforts to help her raise her mount, yet she is so weak and decided to choose that useless thing, we also cannot disregard the terminator’s wishes also, you understand?”
Lei Min was slightly shocked and he instantly understood his father’s plan and smiled. “Father, you’re brilliant.”
Lei Xu did not seem proud and instead continued to ask, “Lingsheng is still not awake?”
Lei Min shook his head. The smile on his face faded away again. Ever since that day when she came back, Su Lingsheng had remained unconscious and her high fever persisted. Even after many physicians came to see her, there was still no reaction from her.
“Should we inform the eldest princess about this?” Lei Min tried asking.
Lei Xu lifted his hands and waved it slightly. “The eldest princess is currently busy with the nation’s grand tutor. We should not bother her about this matter. But while Lingsheng is unconscious, the progress at the west mountain’s mineral vein should stop for now.”
“Yes,” Lei Min looked away and said, “Then those mounts that were left behind...”
Lei Xu raised his brows and looked at Lei Min, and suddenly laughed, “Min’er has also grown up. Those mounts were the quality goods that Your Majesty had personally ordered people to deliver. Go and choose one for yourself. From now on, that mount shall be trained by you.”
Lei Min immediately smiled and replied, “I’ll definitely train it well.”
Lei Xu nodded in satisfaction.
Within Ji City, peace returned. After the store owner of the largest stone betting store went crazy, the store was handed over to his son to manage. Everything went back to normal, except that... within the social circle of stone betting, there was suddenly an appearance of a weird person.
That person had a petite figure, hidden behind a cloak and covered up her face. She frequently visited Ji City’s various large stone betting stores and in a tough and quick manner, she cleared away many of the natural stones in the stores. What was weird was that this person did not open the stones on the spot and instead hired a cart to directly carry back that pile of natural stones.
Due to this person’s liberal use of money and decisiveness in combing through all the stones, it drew the attention of many people. However, when some people had wanted to secretly tail that person, all of them unknowingly got lost in the middle and just lost track of the person...
