Chapter 680: The Tang Family Keeps Their Appointment 2
Ye Fei stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her robes. Through the mirror, she saw Li Yuan sitting in the chair behind her.
Li Yuan raised an eyebrow as he looked at her robe, which was still as plain as it could possibly be.
Although his Fei'er looks good in any clothes, this outfit... is still a bit too plain, and not quite suitable for meeting guests.
So, Li Yuan took out a clear purple jade pendant from his storage ring, tied it to her belt, and replaced the black ribbon on her long, scorpion-tail-like braid with a red ribbon.
With the jade pendant and red hairband, the outfit became distinctive yet not overly flamboyant.
“I’ll pick you up in the evening,” Li Yuan said.
Ye Fei smiled and agreed, "Okay!"
Li Yuan hummed in agreement, cupped her face, and kissed her lips.

Ye Fei left the academy and boarded a carriage bound for Xingluo Kingdom.
In the car, Ye Fei rested her hand on the windowsill, propped her chin on her hand, and gazed at the scenery flashing by outside the window.
She didn't know much about the Tang family, only that it was one of the seven great families today.
But from the grand gathering in Cangzhou and her several conversations with Tang Qian, she could vaguely sense that Tang Qian was looking through her face to see into the soul of another person.
Could it be that she looks a lot like someone from the Tang family?
Moreover, Tang Qian's attitude towards her was a bit too strange... No one would suddenly suggest visiting the main family after only meeting someone once, right?
In addition, Tang Qian wasn't the only one with a strange attitude.
During her break at the academy, she also talked to Hua Hua about her upcoming visit to the Tang family. Hua Hua would always offer help and advice on everything she said, and even if she didn't offer advice, she would patiently listen to every word she said.
This time, however, Hua Hua politely declined to speak with her—she seemed to be avoiding something.
Ye Fei took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
Perhaps all the doubts will be explained after arriving at the Tang family.
After an hour's journey, Ye Fei finally arrived in Xingluo Kingdom.
Having just arrived and being unfamiliar with the place, Ye Fei could only find out the exact location of the Tang family mansion by asking passersby.
Following the directions provided by passersby, Ye Fei arrived at the gate of the Tang family mansion.
There were two gatekeepers in front of the mansion. Ye Fei walked over and clasped her hands in greeting to the gatekeepers: "I am Ye Fei, who has come to the Tang family as a guest today."
"Please wait a moment, sir. We'll go and consult the head of the family right away." The two gatekeepers looked young, but they showed no contempt or disdain towards Ye Fei.
After they bowed to Ye Fei, one of the gatekeepers turned and walked towards the mansion.
Ye Fei waited patiently. After a while, hurried footsteps came from inside the mansion, growing louder as they approached. Tang Qian walked out quickly, her face full of surprise, and took Ye Fei's hand affectionately: "Ye Fei, you've finally arrived! Come on! I'll take you inside!"
Before Ye Fei could react, Tang Qian led her into the Tang family mansion.
After walking along a cobblestone path lined with lush green bamboo and passing through a covered corridor that leads through a courtyard and pond, the Tang Family Hall comes into view.
The hall was empty. Tang Qian poured Ye Fei a cup of hot tea and said with a smile, "My family will be here soon. Please sit here and wait!"
Ye Fei nodded, calmly took the teacup and took a sip. The next second, a woman dressed in a dark brocade robe hurriedly entered the hall.
The moment Tang Yi met the young girl sitting quietly on the stool, her eyes welled up with tears. She rushed to Ye Fei, her expression a mixture of laughter and tears.
Her hand gently stroked Ye Fei's face, tears welling up in her eyes like pearls: "So alike...it's just too alike..."
