Chapter 121
Chapter 121 – Timeless Affection Flower (1)
Ling He and the others who had just finished bringing Gong Zhengyu for a look around the storage room watched wide-eyed as Ji Fengyan flashed past them while carrying Liu Huo on her back . All of them were stunned .
“What… is my lady doing?” Gong Zhengyu asked, feeling a bit dumbfounded . The speed at which Ji Fengyan had dashed by was too fast . If one didn’t look carefully, then it would’ve been impossible to see her clearly .
Ling He felt a bit anxious, but he pretended to be calm . “There’s nothing to worry about, Young Master Gong . Tea has already been prepared for you, so if you’ll please head to the front hall, I’ll just quickly go and take a look…”
“Very well . ” Gong Zhengyu lightly nodded .
Not saying anything else, Ling He immediately chased after Ji Fengyan .
Waiting until Ling He had left, Gong Zhengyu wasn’t in a hurry to look away, instead he turned towards the direction where Ji Fengyan had left from .
“Young Master, did you have to personally come here?” One of the black-clothed men besides Gong Zhengyu asked after seeing that nobody else was around .
Gong Zhengyu retrieved his gaze before slowly answering, “To be able to seize Ji City right from under Lei Xu’s control, this new City Lord isn’t so simple . You two also saw it a moment ago, right? The ores inside that storage room is far more valuable compared to all of the ones that we have collected before . With such a partner, why shouldn’t I make the effort to handle the situation more personally?”
The black-clothed man fell silent . His slight resentment to Ji Fengyan from before had long since completely disappeared after he had personally seen all of those rare ores in the storage room .
All of them were of superior grades .
“We have cooperated with Lei Xu a few times before, but why is it that we have never received such rare ores of value from him while this new City Lord unexpectedly has so much?” The black-clothed man asked after hesitating a moment .
Gong Zhengyu seemed to smile as he looked up at the darkening horizons .
“How numerous are the wonders and talents under the heavens? There is nothing that is absolute . When Lei Xu first chose to cooperate with the Eldest Princess, he must have inevitably have had reservations of his own . Such affairs do no require our further consideration . All you two have to remember is what our objectives are . ”
“Yes,” the black-clothed men acknowledged .
“It’s likely that this little City Lord won’t be able to finish for quite a while, so why don’t we head to the front hall first?” Gong Zhengyu lightly smiled as he left .
The two black-clothed men nodded their heads as they followed along .
As Ling He closely followed after Ji Fengyan, he finally arrived in front of Liu Huo’s room with its door half closed . When he pushed it open, searing steam gushed out of the room, so hot that it heated it up the air outside .
Inside the room, Liu Huo was lying down on the bed with his brows furrowed, the clothes on his body soaked with sweat . It seemed as if he was burning with a high fever, the skin throughout his body blazing with a bright red colour that bordered on purple .
“M-my lady, what… what happened?” Ling He asked with alarm, looking towards Ji Fengyan who was standing near the bed .
The smile on Ji Fengyan’s face had long since disappeared . Right now, she stood by Liu Huo’s side with her brows furrowed, her eyes so sharp that they were like blades .
“Ling He . ”
“Huh?”
“Where is Gong Zhengyu right now?” Ji Fengyan asked, suddenly turning towards him .
Ling He was shaken by Ji Fengyan’s sharp gaze . After taking a moment to recover, he finally managed to regain his composure to respond, “Young Master Gong and his group are resting in the front hall right now . ”
“Take care of Liu Huo . ” She abruptly ordered, her body disappearing from the room in a flash of light .
Looking towards the unconscious Liu Huo, Ling He felt a bit dazed . He didn’t know what to do .
In the end, what on earth happened to the lad?
Ji Fengyan directly headed for the front hall after leaving the room, her expression filled with an unprecedented seriousness .
Liu Huo’s circumstances weren’t right . All of this was connected to that timeless affection flower .
