Chapter 366: Invited Guests
Ye Wanxi stopped there and didn't provoke the poor guy any further.
Having learned a great deal in a single day, Ning Anquan obviously needed some time to process it all. Even so, after sending Ye Wanxi back, he didn't forget to give her the two agreed-upon rewards.
He even gave her a little more to thank Ye Wanxi for telling him about Xue Jifeng and that child.
Ye Wanxi thought about it and decided to accept it. The matter of Ning Anquan's building was not completely resolved yet. He was a long-term client and worth developing.
After returning from the Ning family, and thinking about her upcoming trip to Country D to watch someone's big show, Ye Wanxi chuckled and proactively sent Feng Tianyu a video call invitation.
The call was answered quickly, and the camera on the other end was a little shaky, taking a while to focus on Feng Tianyu.
Ye Wanxi could tell from the background that he wasn't in the company: "Are you outside?"
"Well, I had some business to attend to today. What's up?"
Ye Wanxi could tell that he didn't want to dwell on the topic, so she didn't ask any more questions: "It's nothing, I just missed you a little."
"I'll go back and keep you company later."
"No, no, you go ahead with your work. I just suddenly wanted to see you and talk to you for a bit." Ye Wanxi suddenly remembered something and excitedly added, "Are you free next weekend? I want to go back to the orphanage, would you come with me?"
Feng Tianyu's eyes flickered slightly, showing some curiosity about the place where Ye Wanxi grew up: "It can be done tomorrow."
"Tomorrow won't work, I have something to do and I'm busy. How about next week?"
Feng Tianyu narrowed his eyes dangerously at Ye Wanxi's unconsciously evasive gaze, but said, "Alright, then next week."
After exchanging a few more words, Ye Wanxi realized that Feng Tianyu seemed to have something important to discuss, so she hung up the phone.
The video call between the two had just ended when a cool, clear voice came from not far away: "Was that Junior Sister calling?"
Feng Tianyu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jiang Lin appear at a small hill not far away, holding a sharp longsword in his arms.
"Um."
"Shouldn't we tell her what happened here?"
“Not for now.” Feng Tianyu said, then remembered something else. “Yuanyuan and I recently discovered a forbidden magic array in a village. It feeds on negative human emotions to accumulate strength and become a demon. Before we came back, we found traces of possession on the evil Taoist who set up the array.”
"Possession?" Jiang Lin's hand holding the sword paused, his eyes growing even colder. "You suspect that those old fogies from back then are still alive?"
"Evil deeds last a thousand years. I would be surprised if they really disappeared without a trace. But if it really is them, we have a score to settle with them."
Feng Tianyu paused for a moment, then said, "I will not repeat the mistakes of the past."
Jiang Lin's eyes flickered slightly, seemingly oblivious to the fleeting black mist emanating from Feng Tianyu's body: "Me too."
Just then, several middle-aged men who had accompanied the two of them rushed over, anxiously saying, "Mr. Feng, Mr. Jiang, the dragon vein..."
Having witnessed the two men's ability to easily flatten a mountain, they no longer dared to question them in the slightest.
The only thing that strikes me is, are all these talented people appearing in droves lately? One after another!
But for the country and for them, it's ultimately a good thing.
“Alright, there shouldn’t be any more problems in the short term, provided that…” Feng Tianyu’s gaze swept over the group of people one by one, “Your people are trustworthy enough.”
"Of course, our people are all trustworthy."
Feng Tianyu and his companion arrived in haste and left just as quickly.
No one noticed that the moment Ye Wanxi's call was answered, a colossal creature suppressed beneath the dragon vein slowly opened its eyes, ready to pounce.
Katherine's show didn't start until 7 p.m. that evening, and Ye Wanxi was worried about things going wrong on the way, so she booked a flight two or three hours earlier to ensure she had plenty of time.
This meant that when Ye Wanxi arrived, there were still two hours before the show officially started.
As a high-ranking executive in the company, Du Yihuan was immediately pulled away to oversee things as soon as she arrived, and couldn't get away for the time being, so she could only ask Song Yulan to help pick up and drop off the two of them.
After picking them up, Song Yulan did not immediately take them to the venue, but instead took them out for a meal first.
After they finished eating, they were led to enter through the staff entrance.
"Katherine doesn't need the star effect, so there weren't many celebrities invited to the event. Instead, those invited were either veteran media professionals or celebrities and aristocrats."
"noble?"
"Yes, there are many nobles in Country D who have inherited their ancestors’ estates and titles. With these, they can maintain their wealthy and luxurious lives and enjoy both material and spiritual freedom."
Gao Min said with a hint of envy, "Is this what they mean by having a family that can inherit the throne, or being born at the finish line?"
"envious?"
"envious."
Ye Wanxi gave her a teasing look and poured cold water on her without any mercy, saying, "Reincarnation is a skill. Some people may be reincarnated as nobles, but there are only a few nobles. More likely, you will be reincarnated as a maid."
Gao Min trembled with fright: "Then forget it. I think I'm fine as I am now. I don't want to be a maid!"
"Pfft..." Song Yulan was amused by their conversation. "I don't know what happens to other people after they are reincarnated, but I know that Miss Ye will definitely be a person of great wealth and honor after she is reincarnated. Even if she is not at the beginning, she will be in the future."
"Never mind, I think I'm fine as I am now."
She prefers being the one who slaughters the fat sheep to being the fat sheep herself.
Song Yulan smiled at her, but their words did serve as a reminder to her.
“Miss Ye, this is Country D. You know some foreigners who don’t respect us outsiders and always try to make things difficult for us. When we go in, you’d better stay with me the whole time to avoid getting into conflicts with others.”
Ye Wanxi and the other woman's expressions darkened slightly upon hearing Song Yulan's words, and they nodded in agreement.
However, some things cannot be avoided; you will always have to go through them eventually.
Song Yulan led the two of them backstage, intending to take them back to her own rest room first, and then personally lead Ye Wanxi to the front of the stage to watch after Du Yihuan finished her work.
Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes.
Before Song Yulan and her two companions could even enter the lounge, they were blocked by a group of tall, burly men.
"LAN, are these two your friends?" A blond, blue-eyed man stared intently at Ye Wanxi and her companion, his eyes filled with malice.
Upon seeing this man, Song Yulan's face paled slightly. She hurriedly stepped in front of Ye Wanxi and said sternly but inwardly, "Eric, this is a distinguished guest invited by the young lady. Please get out of the way immediately with your followers, or you will face the consequences."
