Lan Jiahao said, "Chang Boen has been with our family for so many years. He has worked hard, even if he hasn't made any great contributions. Besides, he's just a minor character and doesn't matter much. Let him go."
Lan Cailing had already made up her mind to kill Chang Boen, but since her father had spoken, she nodded in agreement.
Then Lan Cailing turned around and looked at Chang Boen coldly, saying, "From now on, you are no longer the housekeeper of our Lan family. You have no relation to our family whatsoever! Get out of here, and don't let me see you again, or I won't hold back next time I see you!"
Chang Boen was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs trembled, and his whole body shook.
At this moment, he was filled with unbearable regret.
He originally thought that Lan Jiaye and Lan Caifeng would definitely be able to firmly seize control of the family, so he betrayed his promise and sided with that father and son.
Now that things have turned out this way, he's filled with deep regret.
"Miss, I..."
"Get out!" Lan Cailing shouted angrily without any politeness, exuding a strong killing intent.
Chang Boen dared not linger there any longer, and with a sigh and a dejected look, he ran outside.
After that, Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing had nothing to do with each other.
So the two of them said goodbye and left, returning to their own rooms.
The night passed quickly.
The next morning, Lan Cailing came to find Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing.
"Young Master Gong, Miss Mu, my father wants to see you," Lan Cailing said with a smile.
"What business does your father have with us?" Ye Feng asked.
“Of course I want to express my gratitude to you in person. You not only saved my life, but also helped my father out of danger. How could my father not express his gratitude for such a great favor?” Lan Cailing said immediately.
Ye Feng then said, "It's just a small favor; your father is taking it too seriously."
"Of course, of course."
Lan Cailing said with a big smile.
Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing came out of the room and followed Lan Cailing to the fifth floor of the inner courtyard.
As soon as Ye Feng entered Lan Jiahao's study, he saw Lan Jiahao sitting behind his desk with a book in his hand.
Upon seeing Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing arrive, Lan Jiahao immediately put down the book in his hand and stood up, saying, "Please sit down, both of you. Cailing, please serve some tea."
"Yes, Father."
Lan Cailing nodded, then picked up the teapot and poured tea for Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing.
Lan Jiahao looked at Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing, sized them up a few times, and then asked with a smile, "You two are disciples of the Taiyin Sect, and disciples of the sect leader, am I right?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing were not surprised at all, but Lan Cailing was so shocked that she almost dropped the teapot in her hand.
"What? Young Master Gong and Miss Mu are disciples of the Taiyin Sect, and even disciples of the sect leader? Is this...is this true?" Lan Cailing said in shock.
“My master is indeed the Sect Master of the Taiyin Sect, Fairy Luoxia,” Mu Yuqing said with some pride.
"Junior sister, keep a low profile." Ye Feng coughed.
The smug look on Mu Yuqing's face then subsided considerably.
Lan Jiahao said, "I had the honor of visiting the Taiyin Sect a few years ago, and I met the sect leader of the Taiyin Sect. I also saw you from afar."
"So when I saw you last night, you looked very familiar. After you left, I asked Cailing about it, and that's when I was finally able to confirm your identities."
"I never expected that two disciples of the Taiyin Sect would come to our Lan family. It is truly an honor for our entire family."
Lan Jiahao then burst into laughter.
You could tell he was genuinely happy; his radiant appearance didn't seem faked.
Night Breeze said calmly, "We came to Jade City to carry out a mission. We planned to return immediately after completing the mission, but we unexpectedly ran into your daughter, which led us to get involved in the internal strife of your family."
"I'm so sorry, I never expected my brother to do something so outrageous," Lan Jiahao said apologetically.
"I was just saying it casually, Patriarch Lan, you don't need to be so formal," Ye Feng said, shaking his head.
Lan Jiahao picked up a beautiful little box from the desk and presented it to Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing with both hands.
"Young Master Gong, Miss Mu, you saved my daughter's life and helped me last night, so of course I have to express my gratitude."
"Giving you spirit stones would be too vulgar. Here are two seventh-grade spirit talismans that I obtained by chance ten years ago. I am now giving them to you two. Please accept them with a smile."
A seventh-grade spirit talisman?
Mu Yuqing's face showed a strong look of curiosity.
Alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman making are known as the three major crafts.
Alchemists and weapon refiners are relatively common, but spirit talisman masters are truly rare.
Therefore, talismans, as consumables, are even more precious than elixirs and magical artifacts.
If they really are two seventh-grade spirit talismans, then they are comparable to two eighth-grade spirit pills or two eighth-grade spirit artifacts!
Therefore, Lan Jiahao was very generous, and the gifts he gave were incredibly valuable!
Ye Feng did not refuse. He took the exquisite little wooden box from Lan Jiahao's hand, opened it, and saw that there were indeed two spirit talismans inside.
These two talismans were filled with auspicious energy, shimmering with spiritual light, and also exuded a sharp, piercing aura.
"Taiyuan Soul-Slaying Talisman?"
Ye Feng smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, it is indeed a seventh-grade spirit talisman, and an offensive one at that. It is extremely precious and can save lives in critical moments."
"Young Master Gong is indeed very knowledgeable and experienced, which I admire," Lan Jiahao said with a smile.
When Lan Jiahao obtained these two talismans, he consulted many people before finally learning that they were seventh-grade talismans, the Taiyuan Soul-Slaying Talismans.
Now, Ye Feng had just opened the box and, with just one glance, he could tell what kind of spirit talismans the two were.
Therefore, Lan Jiahao truly admired Ye Feng from the bottom of his heart.
"Junior sister, please keep these two talismans for your self-defense," Ye Feng said, closing the small wooden box and placing it in Mu Yuqing's hand.
"Senior brother, don't you want them? There are exactly two, one for each of us."
Mu Yuqing asked in confusion via telepathy.
"I don't need them. Although these two talismans are precious, they are not very useful for those in the Transcendent Realm," Ye Feng explained through telepathic communication.
"I see."
Mu Yuqing suddenly realized.
Since Ye Feng didn't like them, Mu Yuqing stopped refusing and happily put the two talismans away.
The matter concerning the Lan family has come to an end.
Ye Feng then took his leave and left with Mu Yuqing.
After leaving the Lan family's gate, Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing went to the city lord's mansion.
The city lord of Emerald City was a late-stage Transcendent Realm martial artist. He asked Ye Feng and Mu Yuqing about the details of how they dealt with the mysterious monster. When he learned that the monster Mu Yuqing was holding was the mysterious monster, the city lord was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
