Ji Fengyan rose and wiped her hands. Smiling, she said, “Since they are here, I might as well have a look.”

With that, Ji Fengyan summoned Yang Jian and followed Ling He to the front hall.

In the front hall sat a handsome young man and a beautiful young woman. Their magnificent clothing clashed with the natural beauty of Ji City’s scenery. Behind them were several guards, each haughtily standing at attention.

Zuo Nuo served them tea with a long face, then stood to one side, unwilling to speak unnecessarily.

“So this is Ji City? There’s not much to it. Isn’t Ji Fengyan the city lord? Why is she still staying in this shabby place?” The beautiful young woman cast a disdainful glance around the sparse hall, her tone full of contempt.

The young man sipped his tea without expression and did not reply.

The young woman frowned. “Brother Mubai, you should look at this place... that girl Ji Fengyan is become bolder and bolder. She knows we are here and yet she is delaying her appearance. Hasn’t her nerve grown since leaving the Ji family?”

Zuo Nuo and the other bodyguards overheard the young woman’s words. At once, their faces darkened.

Ji Mubai, who was being badgered by the young woman, put down his cup. A faint, helpless smile crossed his handsome face as he soothingly replied, “Forget it, we aren’t here for a holiday, so why bother about the condition of the place? Qingshang, please be patient.”

Ji Qingshang pouted discontentedly. “Brother Mubai is so tolerant. I think that the stupid girl Ji Fengyan is not fit to be the terminator. All the Ji children are superior to her. It just so happened that her father paid no attention to her, which benefited her in the end. Now she doesn’t even have to provide for the old man.”

Ji Qingshang spoke without inhibition, causing Zuo Nuo and his men’s expressions to darken even further. They glared at the insolent Ji Qingshang, their fists clenched at their sides.

“What are you staring at? You are all worthless, just a pack of dogs that followed Ji Yun. Now that Ji Yun is gone, you just follow that stupid Ji Fengyan. Do you really think you will succeed one day? Let me tell you, a person like Ji Fengyan...”

“What about a person like me?”

Just as Ji Qingshang was chattering on, Ji Fengyan’s voice suddenly interrupted her speech.

Ji Fengyan was slightly taken aback. She turned towards the familiar voice.

Dressed in a pale blue suit, Ji Fengyan dramatically breezed into the room, right into her line of vision.

Ji Qingshang was stunned at the sight.

The young lady in front of her still looked slightly immature. However, she no longer had the evasive, cringing expression of the girl from the capital. She smilingly came forward. Her sallow face had finally filled out after a month of nourishment and the originally forgettable face now showed flashes of beauty.

Although she was not as beautiful as Ji Qingshang, Ji Fengyan was still significantly prettier than Ji Qingshang remembered her to be.

“You... Ji Fengyan?” Ji Qingshang looked at the completely changed Ji Fengyan in shock, momentarily forgetting her unfinished speech.

Ji Fengyan raised her eyebrows slightly and elegantly sat down at the main seat. She rested her chin on one hand and smilingly considered the shocked Ji Qingshang.

“What’s the matter? Don’t you recognize me?”

Ji Fengyan’s tone was a little teasing, but mostly coquettish, her expression filled with indolence.

Ji Qingshang had never seen Ji Fengyan like that before!

Crazy brat: Sure enough, that so called nation’s grand tutor is unreliable. He just promised to help me find someone and now he’s gone without a word.
