Yun Feng smiled and didn’t say anything else. “In such a case, I’ll just go back and wait for your investigation, Your Majesty. Little Fire, let’s go.” Yun Feng turned around and left. Little Fire looked at the dozen experts in the sky in disdain. All of them were gnashing their teeth, yet couldn’t do anything. The emperor invited Yun Feng to visit the royal family more often, and then said goodbye to her.
“Your Majesty, that’s blatant extortion,” whispered Randal. The emperor looked quite sullen. Extortion? It was certainly extortion! How could Yun Feng, as a summoner, not know where her Ring of Contract was? Although it remained a mystery how the ring entered the royal palace, she definitely did it on purpose when she showed up after Little Fire caused great trouble. Then, she forced the royal family to adulate her. It was definitely blatant extortion!
The emperor walked back awfully. “Warn everybody in the royal palace that they must not offend anyone from the Yun family!”
Randal nodded. “Your Majesty, about the three openings she asked for…”
The emperor gradually curled his lips. “Just give her what she wants. If we want to take advantage of her, we must offer her something first. She’ll be useless after I get what I want! By then…”
Randal smiled too. “As you wish, Your Majesty…”
The royal family delivered a lot of stuff to the Yun family, including a fairly large amount of mid-level ores, which puzzled Yun Jing. Yun Feng, however, smiled. She would gladly accept the ores that the royal family offered, and use them to strengthen the Yun Army again. The Yun family had only been doing business for money, and had no access to ores. Yun Feng wondered if it was time that she reached out to the Mercenary Union.
The holiday of the Masang School of Magic was about to be over. However, to Yun Feng’s surprise, the beginning of the new semester was postponed by a few days. During these days, the Vice Principal of the Masang School of Magic and Ted were both in the capital. Yun Feng learned of their arrival, and knew that the representatives for the international contest would be selected soon. She thought that the top figures of the School of God of War would likely participate too, and suddenly remembered Murong Yuntian. They were going to meet again.
“Fengfeng, what’s on your mind?” A voice echoed next to Yun Feng lazily, and a warm body leaned close to her. Meatball cried at her from Yun Feng’s shoulder, but that woman was not bothered at all, and shamelessly moved even closer.
“Nothing. You’ve grown stronger.” Yun Feng casually glanced at Qu Lanyi’s beautiful face while she stuck herself to Yun Feng. Yun Feng moved her eyes aside after the glance, and retreated her body. Unsurprisingly, that woman pressed close to her again, unwilling to let her go.
“Fengfeng, you’ve advanced even faster than I expected. You are truly a genius…” Qu Lanyi chuckled and extended her finger, gently touching Yun Feng’s cheeks. Yun Feng had goosebumps all over her body, and pushed Qu Lanyi aside. Qu Lanyi smiled alluringly, with her body in a graceful curve. She was an out-and-out gorgeous lady.
“Miss!” The butler came in at this moment and, seeing Qu Lanyi, nodded at her. Qu Lanyi smiled, but didn’t go. She simply sat down next to Yun Feng with a smile. “Young Lady, you have a visitor.” The butler thought for a moment and said, “He’s from the Murong family.”
Yun Feng narrowed her eyes. People of the Murong family had chased her all the way to the capital? They seemed determined to stay connected to the Yun family, but on what ground? The arranged marriage that had been abandoned a long time ago? Yun Feng put on a mocking smile, and Qu Lanyi chuckled and asked, “Fengfeng, is this Murong family related to you?”
Yun Feng smiled. “Not really.”
Qu Lanyi raised her brows. “If it’s not related to you, there’s no need to meet them.”
Yun Feng, however, stood up with a smile. “Butler, is it Murong Shuli who came?”
The butler shook his head, and glanced at his young lady. “It’s a young man. He said his name is Murong Yuntian.”
Yun Feng was stunned. Murong Yuntian was here? Qu Lanyi was unhappy to see Yun Feng’s expression. She stood up too and held Yun Feng’s hand. “Do you know this Murong Yuntian, Fengfeng?”
After a few seconds of silence, Yun Feng suddenly put on a smile. “Of course. He was my fiancée.”
Qu Lanyi suddenly became grim, and she held Yun Feng’s hand tightly. Yun Feng glanced at her, puzzled. “I’ll go meet him.” She then stepped forward and left. Qu Lanyi, however, followed her. Yun Feng looked at her in confusion. She simply put on a cute smile. “Although he is no longer your ‘fiancée’ right now, I’d like to find out what kind of person he is exactly.”
Yun Feng smiled. Whatever. The two of them went to the front hall. Before they arrived, Yun Feng had already seen Murong Yuntian from a distance. Murong Yuntian seemed to have noticed her gaze, and suddenly turned around and looked back at her. He immediately rose and strode to her, staring at her in the eyes. He seemed to be repressing strong feelings in his body.
Yun Feng glanced at Murong Yuntian with a smile. “Why are you here? Do you need something from me?”
Murong Yuntian pursed his lips, and his eyes glittered. He clenched his fists and said, “You are my fiancée, Yun Feng.”
Yun Feng was dazed for a moment. It seemed that the man was already aware of the matter. Before Yun Feng said anything, Qu Lanyi had stepped between them and smiled at Murong Yuntian. “She was your fiancée, handsome.”
Aggressiveness flashed in Murong Yuntian’s eyes. “Who are you? I’m speaking to my fiancée. Please get out of my way.” After that, Murong Yuntian gazed at Yun Feng, the girl who had stirred his heart again and again, past Qu Lanyi. “Nobody else can call off our marriage!”
Yun Feng suddenly smiled. She gently pulled Qu Lanyi aside and stared at Murong Yuntian. “Did Murong Shuli not tell you? I was the one who called off the marriage.”
