Chapter 113: Uninvited (1/2)

Bai Luochu left with Cai Ling after she spoke. When Ying Lan saw that there was nothing wrong with his mistress, he left while feeling reassured as he prepared himself for the task ahead.

As soon as Bai Luochu returned to her room, she instructed Cai Ling. “Cai Ling, make more trips to Ying Lan’s side these two weeks. Firstly, we need to quickly construct our faction on the mountain. Ying Lan still has to manage the business at the Remote Paddy Inn and there will be times where he will be too busy to deal with anything else. You are already familiar with the mountain and will be able to assist him during the construction process. Secondly, I will probably be immersed in cultivation and it won’t be safe in the residence as I won’t be there to protect you. It will be safer for you to head out.”

Bai Luochu didn’t forget to snort as she was expressing her dissatisfaction for her uncle’s family.

Cai Ling understood her mistress’ arrangement and didn’t say anything else. A simple nod of the head showed Bai Luochu that Cai Ling knew what she had to do.

On the other side, Ying Lan was awfully busy. First, he had to arrange the division of work for the members of the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence, then he had to arrange the schedule for the next two weeks. He then lined up all the capable craftsmen in the capital and prepared to visit them early in the morning in order to avoid others from snatching them away. If they didn’t have enough manpower for the tasks, their schedule would be delayed.

After making all the arrangements, it was already late at night. Just as Ying Lan was preparing to rest for the day, the waiter at the front of the inn came up to make a report. “Commander Ying, there is someone looking for you.”

Ying Lan frowned and thought about the people who would visit him at this hour. “It is already very late. I shall not be meeting that person. Tell him that I am already resting and if he wants to meet me, he can come earlier tomorrow.” Ying Lan replied and he prepared to head back to his room.

The waiter quickly stopped Ying Lan. “Commander Ying Lan, that person has silver hair and he said that if I bring this up, you will definitely meet him.”

When Ying Lan heard the waiter, he paused for a second. He turned around and asked, “Silver hair? Are you certain?” Among all the people he knew, there was only one person with silver hair. Why would he look for Ying Lan at such an hour? What were his intentions?

When the waiter saw that Ying Lan was still having doubts, he quickly said, “It’s true. Even his eyes are silver in color. His personality is cold too, like an ice cube.”

A moment later, the door of the study room creaked as they swung open. The silver-haired man strolled in casually. The waiter quickly left after placing down the pot of tea.

“Why are you looking for me so late at night?” Ying Lan spoke and poured some tea for the silver-haired man.
