With the nation in peril, she made those special remarks again. Feng Ziyi is now much calmer and more insightful.
In the past, he would have believed that his own path was the most correct, and even if he was not skilled enough, he would have thought that it was because manipulating power and people's hearts was not the right path.
Now that he has openly admitted his shortcomings, his mindset has changed.
Feng Ziyi looked up at the street in the distance, and further away, Jiangyuan. "With his talent, if he were to enter the court as an official, his achievements would surely surpass mine. I always believed that he could obtain a better life without resorting to those dirty tricks."
Shu Yun continued, "So you want to tell me that although you sympathize with Jiang Yan's plight and know that it's understandable that he turned out this way, you still dislike his methods, right?"
Feng Ziyi looked at her and said firmly, "Yes."
Shu Yun chuckled. His academic thoughts had now fully developed into his own, like a circle that cycled and formed its own system.
She tiptoed and patted Feng Ziyi's head. A long wind swept through the street, her veil fluttering, and her clear eyes held a smile.
Feng Ziyi was somewhat surprised by her action. It was strange to be touched on the head by a young girl, but when he met her eyes, he inexplicably did not refuse.
The girl in front of him reminded him of the teacher who had taught him since childhood in the Feng family of Pingyang.
Shu Yun ruffled Feng Ziyi's hair and patted his shoulder. "You were a carefree rascal when you were an immortal, but you're really cute right now."
“Your current idea is good. You and Jiang Yan are different people. You don’t necessarily have to agree with each other.”
They look so similar, but unfortunately, she looks completely different from her master. She and her teacher are two different people.
His teacher, who had guided him step by step, had quietly passed away many years ago.
Feng Ziyi helped her pull down the veil that had been lifted by the wind, the white veil falling to cover her beautiful face. "Thank you, young lady."
For a moment just now, he felt as if he had returned to his childhood, and his teacher was standing in front of him again. He was very grateful to her for allowing him to feel the warmth of a teacher again.
Shu Yun thought he was thanking her for what she had said to him in the alley last time, so she waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. I came to tell you that my house is ready. It's the one with the ginkgo tree at the entrance of Shanhai Street."
Feng Ziyi interpreted this as her taking a step back after she put down her veil, acknowledging the difference between men and women, and that Wan Yang was ultimately not a teacher but a young woman. "If Ziyi encounters any difficulties, she will definitely come to ask for advice."
The two were chatting happily, laughing and joking, and neither noticed a person standing still for a long time at the entrance of a secluded alley.
Ke Min withdrew his gaze from the Feng residence with some unease. They, as his subordinates, had all noticed the difference in how their lord treated this girl these past few days, and naturally knew that this girl held a special place in their lord's heart.
Jiang Yan watched Shu Yun walk into the Feng residence until her figure disappeared. His face was a little pale, and his mind kept replaying the sweet smile she gave Feng Ziyi.
Her face was already stunningly beautiful; when she curved her bright, clear eyes and smiled sweetly, her red lips captivated all who beheld her.
But she never showed him that kind of joyful smile during all the time she spent in Jiangyuan.
His hands, hidden beneath his cloak, clenched tightly, his fingertips pale from lack of blood. "Kemin, a subordinate you've trained since childhood, or a subordinate you've trained for a year, which one will you choose?"
Kemin glanced at his master's back with a strange look, and replied respectfully, "Naturally, he is a subordinate we know well. The most important thing in our line of work is to know the inside story. If a new subordinate has something on him or is driven by self-interest and wants something from us, we can use him, but it will only be for trivial tasks."
Jiang Yan's eyelashes, as black as raven feathers, drooped somewhat helplessly.
It was obvious that Master was closer to Feng Ziyi. They spoke casually during their conversations, but when talking to him, Master was careful with his words.
She was more familiar with Feng Ziyi, but there seemed to be something inexplicable between them. She treated him indifferently, and no matter how close he got, it was no use.
He didn't like that feeling, that ambiguous, unapproachable distance, as if she might abandon him at any moment.
Anxiety and turmoil raged in Jiang Yan's chest, and a faint red glint flashed in his dark eyes.
He is no longer the Jiang Yan of the past; if he so desires, he can always keep her under his control.
Jiang Yan glanced deeply at Feng Fu and said, "Tell Mu Guo that taking Suizao and Zao is crucial and there must be no mistakes."
Ke Min and the hidden guards bowed respectfully, "Yes."
