"Yes, Young Master Ye has returned to the capital." The person reporting to Princess Jinhua was one of her personal guards. He had originally been on a day off, but seeing the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce auction, he'd gone to join in the fun. Who knew there he'd actually see the man Princess Jinhua had been obsessed with? So, without even paying attention to what happened next, he hurried to the palace to report. While he didn't know Ye Lanxun's identity, he knew Princess Jinhua was deeply in love with him. Reporting this to Princess Jinhua would surely delight her, and he'd certainly benefit from it.
"He's back, he's back." Princess Jinhua stood up happily, muttering to herself, "Why didn't you tell me he was back?" Of course, she just said this out of self-conceit. She also knew very well that even if Ye Lanxuan came to the capital, he would never tell her. He had no obligation to do so, and no such kindness.
The guard naturally knew that Princess Jinhua was just talking to herself and didn't need anyone to answer her, so he didn't say anything.
"So, Master Ye, where are you now?" Princess Jinhua came to her senses and asked anxiously. She had people monitoring the posthouse every day, but Ye Lanxun had never been there.
"With a man named Mu Hanyan, they seem to have a good relationship." The guard thought for a moment and carefully answered. Mu Hanyan's reputation as a playboy had spread throughout the capital, and it seemed unsuitable for Princess Jinhua's lover to be with such a man. Therefore, the guard did not exaggerate Mu Hanyan's reputation.
"Mu Hanyan? Who is she? A man or a woman?" Princess Jinhua frowned slightly and thought for a moment, "Why does this name sound familiar?"
"Princess, Mu Hanyan is Mu Wanku who was recalled from Black Stone City by the Mu family some time ago. She has a bad reputation. The things she did after coming to the capital are really..." The maid behind her explained considerately.
Princess Jinhua stopped him before she could finish her words. She suddenly remembered that Mu Hanyan, the most dissolute playboy in Black Stone City, was about to become the most dissolute playboy in the capital.
How could Master Ye be with someone like this?
"You said that Young Master Ye seems to have a good relationship with Mu Wanku?" Princess Jinhua's face turned cold and she asked in confusion.
"Yes. This is what happened..." The guard told him everything that had happened before.
After she finished speaking, Princess Jinhua's face darkened, and she shrieked in a sharp voice, "What did you say? Others misunderstood that Young Master Ye was the servant of that Mu Wanku? Did that Mu Wanku really treat Young Master Ye as a servant and ask him to do things for them?"
The guard's forehead was covered with sweat, but he nodded truthfully: "Yes."
"How could Young Master Ye be with someone like this?" Princess Jinhua bit her lip, anger rising in her heart. "That dandy must have deceived Young Master Ye. Forget it, you go down first and claim your reward." Princess Jinhua waved the guards away, then sat down to the side with a sullen face. In Princess Jinhua's view, Ye Lanxun and Mu Hanyan were worlds apart. How could a fallen immortal like Ye Lanxun be mistaken for that dandy's servant? How could she tolerate this?
The personal maid Qiuyue didn't dare to speak, but just stood quietly behind Princess Jinhua. Ever since the other personal maid Fu Ping was attacked by Princess Jinhua last time, Qiuyue has been very cautious and dared not easily agree with Princess Jinhua's words.
"Qiuyue, have someone find out what Young Master Ye has been doing recently and where he stays at night." Princess Jinhua frowned and ordered Qiuyue.
"Yes, Princess." Qiuyue took the order and immediately went to do it.
Princess Jinhua sat alone in the palace, staring blankly at the large tree outside, her mind filled with only that man. Although Jin Yuguang's appearance last time, wearing the gift she had given Ye Lanxun, had embarrassed her, she still hadn't given up. She harbored a fantasy: maybe, just maybe Young Master Ye hadn't told Jin Yuguang to do that? He hadn't explicitly rejected her, had he? Perhaps, with sincerity, even metal and stone could be broken, and Young Master Ye would one day be moved by her.
…
"A-choo!" At this time Ye Lanxuan suddenly sneezed, and then Zirong and others were so frightened that they stared at him with wide eyes.
"What are you looking at?" Ye Lanxuan glanced at them coldly. It was just a sneeze, was there any need for such a dreadful expression?
"No, nothing." Zirong and the others hurriedly shook their heads. Why did they find Ye Lanxun's sneeze so terrifying? Everyone looked up at the sky. Because Ye Lanxun had become a deity in their hearts. Had they ever seen a deity sneeze? They felt the same way as if they had seen a deity sneeze. It was very complicated and terrifying. Oh, so gods can sneeze too.
"Someone is thinking about you, but I don't know if it's for good or bad." Mu Hanyan took over the conversation. With Ye Lanxun's strength, it was impossible for him to catch a cold. So she concluded that someone must be talking about Ye Lanxun behind his back.
"Whether it's good or bad, you'll know if I ask you." Ye Lanxuan winked at Mu Hanyan and laughed.
Mu Hanyan paused, feeling her face getting hot. Was this considered flirting?
Zirong and the others exchanged glances, their emotions mixed. Zirong suddenly missed her fiancée, Yan Yuchu began to yearn for her young tigress, and Huayue wondered if she should find a fiancée herself. These people didn't know the term "eating dog food." If they did, they'd understand exactly how they felt at the moment.
If Jin Yuguang were here at this moment, he would definitely be complaining in his heart, "Sir, you asked me how to pursue the girl I liked, were you really not kidding me?"
The Nanyan Chamber of Commerce auction was successfully concluded, and Mu Hanyan received the sword. After having it delivered directly to her family, she prepared to leave. Before leaving, Mu Hanyan specifically explained the situation in Fangjia Village, asking Che Xiang to send someone to take over the Fangjia Market. She also asked him to keep an eye out for the whereabouts of the Purple Heart Nectar Grass. This was something she had promised Mu Zexian and others, and she couldn't break her promise.
Afterwards, he handed the land deed to Che Xiang and asked him to deal with it as he pleased.
Upon receiving the deed, Che Xiang couldn't help but sigh. Today's auction seemed lively, but most of the items didn't generate much profit. The biggest gains came from two items: the azure sand and the deed itself. Mu Hanyan alone made all of this money. It wasn't without reason that Che Xiang was such a die-hard fan of Mu Hanyan.
As soon as they came out of the VIP room, Mu Zexian and others who were resting outside rushed up to them, talking excitedly about what had just happened, their eyes full of fanatical admiration.
"Brother Hanyan, those moves you made just now were simply amazing. That idiot Mo Yanhong must have woken up crying in his sleep, hahahaha." Mu Ze couldn't help laughing out loud when he thought of what had just happened.
"We let him humiliate us all day long. Now you know how powerful he is." Mu Zeran smiled so much that his eyes became crescents.
