Chapter 210 - The Encounter (2/2)

“Tonight I will personally go!” Lan You Nian said severely. Though Lan Feng and Lan Ren’s martial arts were good, compared to that Ghost Lord, there ought to be some disparity. She didn’t allow for her people to get injured because of her medicine.

“Young miss!” Lan Feng didn’t approve. In their eyes, young miss was the most important. But Lan Feng knew once young miss had made her decision, there was no chance anyone can change her mind. Lan Feng only said, “Ming wang’s martial arts is very high. It’s likely he’s right up there with that Ghost Lord. Why don’t young miss go together tonight with Ming wang?”

Lan You Nian said without even considering it, “No need!” Meeting Lan Feng’s disapproving gaze, Lan You Nian explained, “We aren’t going to fight recklessly. If we can’t beat them, we can run. In any case, I don’t have any face to lose. Xuan is a country’s wangye. I don’t want him to be drawn into the disputes of the pugilistic world because of me.”

Though Lan Feng disapproved of her young miss’s decision, for Lan Feng believed Ming wang truly loved young miss, Ming wang would help young miss even if it meant being drawn into disputes, much much less being drawn into the disputes of the pugilistic world. But Lan Feng knew young miss loved Ming wang which was why she had she had such considerations.

“Understood. I will mobilize Wu Qing Pavilion’s assassins to go with young miss tonight!” Lan Feng left the room as soon as Lan You Nian gave a nod. When they came this time, they brought over Wu Qing Pavilion’s upper level assassins. These people were all those who had young miss’s trust, so bringing them will serve as a layer of protection for young miss.

The second Lan Feng left, Feng Yi Xuan entered the room. Of course he saw the just departed Lan Feng, but he and Nian Nian mutually respected one another. They didn’t hide anything from the other person but neither did they interfere. Feng Yi Xuan was willing to give Nian Nian enough space to allow her to soar.

“Awake?” Feng Yi Xuan asked. Coming over to the bedside, he scooped Lan You Nian out from under the blanket, smoothing out Lan You Nian’s slightly disheveled hair.

“En, actually I wasn’t very tired!” Lan You Nian said smiling.

Pondering for a moment, Feng Yi Xuan said, “I will be going out tonight to handle something. Behave and rest here, understood?” Feng Yi Xuan was a little edgy. If Nian Nian knew he was going to see Young Master Wu Qing and to beat him up, he wondered if she will get mad. However, no matter what, Feng Yi Xuan wanted to teach that Young Master Wu Qing a lesson. Let’s see if he dares to get so close to Nian Nian. Yu Liu Li once said that one must give a harsh blow to one’s love rival.

Lan You Nian was wondering what excuse she should give Feng Yi Xuan to let her go out tonight. Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence. This way, she can just leave; otherwise, Feng Yi Xuan will be worried knowing she left.

“En, I know. Don’t worry about me and do your own thing!” Lan You Nian clenched tightly to Feng Yi Xuan’s hand. She knew Feng Yi Xuan was very busy. Sometimes when she woke up in the middle of the night, she could still see him sitting beside her reading over the memorials, so Lan You Nian wouldn’t meddle in Feng Yi Xuan’s matters.

Tonight, Lan You Nian would be meeting the Ghost Lord who she didn’t have any confidence in winning against. Lan You Nian will try her best not to let herself be injured. If she can’t beat the other person, she’ll run. She was no longer one person. If she was injured, Feng Yi Xuan would be even more pained inside. Lan You Nian was aware of this, so no matter what, she must protect herself.

Everyone ate together. Maybe it’s due to Lan You Nian’s influences, An Yi and An San also sat with them. If they were back at the manor, they wouldn’t sit at the table, but now they were outside, they were out to have fun. If they were to watch on the side as they were eating, Lan You Nian wouldn’t be able to stand it, so everyone sat table. An Yi them went from the discomfort and jittery at the beginning to the present calmly and speedily eating. With Lan You Nian, they got the same respect.

After their meal, Feng Yi Xuan took a short nap with Lan You Nian. After the night deepened, Feng Yi Xuan pecked Lan You Nian’s forehead before leaving the room and headed towards Qian manor. When Feng Yi Xuan left, Lan You Nian’s eyes instantly opened. Her eyes were pure and bright, without any drowsiness

“Young miss!” Lan Ren and Lan Feng were decked out in black, with masks covering their faces as they stood outside the room.

“En!” Lan You Nian gave a response and received the male disguise Lan Qu prepared for her and put it on. Lan Qu helped Lan You Nian put up her hair and put it into a male style. Lan You Nian accepted the mask that signified Young Master Wu Qing and left the room, disappearing in the courtyard, with those manservants standing guard being completely unaware.

Flying out of the courtyard, Lan You Nian noticed many of Wu Qing Pavilion’s subordinates were waiting outside. The number of people wasn’t particularly large, roughly around ten or so people. Zhang Lin was amongst them. Because of Zhang Lin’s loyalty and abilities, Lan You Nian already placed him in Wu Qing Pavilion. On the surface, he was You Nian Pavilion’s guard. In the shadows, he was also Wu Qing Pavilion’s assassin. These dozen people were all people Lan You Nian trusted, so Lan You Nian only gave them a nod and they all hastened to Qian Manor.

When Lan You Nian and entourage arrived at Qian Manor, they didn’t encounter Ghost Realm’s people. Lan You Nian had Zhang Lin and the others conceal themselves. Too many people were easily noticeable by others. Taking Lan Ren and Lan Feng with her, Lan You Nian silently stole into Qian Manor.

The three of them searched a circle around Qian Manor but didn’t find a trace of Heaven’s Tears Heart. Lan You Nian dared not do too much. If they acted rashly and alerted the enemy, and the other grasped the fact she needed such a thing, then she’ll be at a disadvantageous spot, especially since Qian Manor’s head of family wasn’t someone easy to interact with, a considerable personage. If forced, it’s probable Heaven’s Tears Heart will be destroyed.

Lan You Nian didn’t find Heaven’s Tears Heart nor did she encounter Ghost Realm’s people, so she prepared to go back earlier. If she came back late, Feng Yi Xuan will most likely know about it. She wasn’t afraid of telling Feng Yi Xuan the whole story, just that Feng Yi Xuan will worry too much.

When Lan You Nian left Qian manor with Lan Ren and Lan Feng, moving at a fast pace on the streets, a magnetic masculine voice traveled into their ears, “Since Young Master Wu Qing has come, why leave so fast?”
