Chapter 929: Everybody Came to Congratulate Him VITranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What did you just call her?”
Mu Ling turned his head gingerly. He stared at Lei Yun blankly. It seemed as if he was struck by lightning.
“She"s my manor lady.” Lei Yun smiled happily. He sounded polite.
All the air seemed to disappear around Mu Ling. He felt like he could not breathe anymore. His face turned red.
Was Feng Ruqing the manor lady of Fengyun clan?
Did Fengyun clan not just use slightly over a decade to become so powerful that they were only slightly weaker than the three major influences?
It was impossible! That was definitely impossible!
Han Feng had investigated her ident.i.ty before. She was only a royal princess from the secular world! She did not even come from the reclusive world!
Luo Li became calmer after listening to what Lei Yun had said.
She a.s.sumed that Suyi had given Feng Ruqing up and had chosen the manor lady from Fengyun clan instead.
It appeared now that Lady Suyi was well aware of Feng Ruqing"s ident.i.ty long ago.
That engagement would be proper and well-suited.
“My grandson is going to marry soon. It"s wonderful!” The old master clapped his hands and laughed ecstatically. “I trust your insight, Suyi. You have only judged Mu Ling wrongly. You always have good insight. Haha! My grandson is all grown up now. Finally, he"s going to have a wife! Xiao Qingyin, when are you going to get married?”
Mu Qingyin coughed softly. “Father, I have told you. I cannot ruin the lives of other innocent girls.”
“I don"t care. You must marry! Otherwise, I won"t eat or drink from now on. Let me starve to death!” the old master said in a huff.
Mu Qingyin"s lips twitched. ‘If you are using hunger strike to threaten me, could you please stop eating that pig"s trotters while you"re making that claim?
‘Who would believe what you have just said if you"re doing that?"
At that moment…
Another sound was heard in the dark of the night. It soon broke the silence of the banquet hall.
“Guardian Feng Lan from Paramount. I have come to congratulate the old master on his birthday.”
Paramount?
All of them were shocked. They turned toward the entrance, suspiciously.
“It appears that the young master from Paramount is from Deities Gate.”
“Why are the people from Deities Gate coming to congratulate Old Master Mu on his birthday? He"s working for Young Master Jiu Ming, too.”
“Moreover, Paramount"s business is really good now. It"s quite popular. Although it is opened in the secular world, Young Master Jiu Ming"s ident.i.ty is special. They also sell effective herbal dishes. Paramount has become famous all over the mainland. However, we have only heard of the young master from Paramount but have never met the owner.”
“Doesn"t Paramount"s owner come from Deities Gate too? Someone like Young Master Jiu Ming would bow down to anybody else other than the people from Deities Gate.”
Feng Ruqing gazed at Feng Lan who was advancing toward them under the moonlight. She had an uneasy feeling. She subconsciously retreated a few steps and stood behind Nan Xian.
Feng Lan soon saw Feng Ruqing"s awkward retreat. She laughed softly.
She had a feeling that the princess would not give the young master up so easily this time.
“Old Master.” Feng Lan took light steps toward the old master. “We"re here to deliver you some gifts from Paramount. Come and bring them up!”
“Yes!”
The palace maids behind Feng Lan lined up in rows. Every palace maid carried in their hands, a box storing the spirit herb.
Spirit herbs were considered rather rare and special in the mainland. Thus, everyone would consider giving spirit herbs as gifts.
It was the same situation for Paramount, which was famous for selling spirit herbs.
The people from the Mu family were deeply shocked. They stared at the boxes and gulped in nervousness. They were stunned.
