The Charm of Soul Pets

Chapter 1503: Royalty Chief Instructor, Yu Fengdi

He City traveled with New Moon Land throughout the rest of the journey. They did not intend to stay away from New Moon Land even after entering Dual Earth Mountain under the eyes of other factions.

After entering Dual Earth Mountain, the royalty servants in charge of reception were already waiting at the mountain foot.

On Dual Earth Mountain, there was a hermit realm-like villa. The villa was divided into many peaks. The Main Peak Villa was the location for this conference. By then, the representatives of various factions and individual invitees would meet and discuss in the Main Peak Villa.

The other peaks were guest villas. One peak would host one faction. There were also some connected peaks. Friendly factions would stay in connected peaks, facilitating interaction easily.

“He City City Lord Lin Xian, please follow me,” The royalty’s old butler smiled gently and led the way for Lin Xian’s group.

An old maidservant was in charge of New Moon Land. The old maidservant did not show a gentle attitude like the old butler. She just spoke a word ‘Please’ and led New Moon Land to another peak villa.

Liu Binglan took a glance at Lin Xian and was about to bid farewell, but Lin Xian called out to that old maidservant.

“Is there anything, City Lord Lin?” asked the old maidservant.

“Arrange a connected peak villa for us. We are both independent territories, there are many common topics,” said Lin Xian.

The old maidservant was unsure how to answer. The villas for most factions were arranged beforehand. They only followed the orders and never encountered guests asking for a change.

The old butler kindly spoke at that moment, “Every villa is arranged according to the name of the factions. New Moon Land and He City are not very far apart, it will not be troublesome to interact. Furthermore, the villas around City Lord Lin are occupied by major factions. It will be easier for you to interact with them.”

“I find New Moon Land’s Female Supreme Liu rather pleasant and had a wonderful conversation. I’m not interested in acquainting myself with others. We are guests, can’t you help with such a minor matter?” said Lin Xian a little unhappily.

“Umm...... I will need to ask my master, please rest in the reception hall first,” replied that old butler.

“Sure, go,” said Lin Xian.

After the two servants were gone, Liu Binglan briefly looked at Lin Xian and felt a little confused: Who is pleasant and had a wonderful conversation? Over the past few days, she did not even exchange much conversation with this Vice City Lord. They only did polite greetings.

“Hey, Shen Mo, do you think that City Lord Lin has his eyes on our Female Supreme Liu?” Pang Yue whispered to Shen Mo at the side.

“Maybe. This City Lord Lin usually kept quiet. I thought he’s a silent and honest person, yet he doesn’t even blink when lying. If I didn’t witness them not really talking to each other, I almost believed what he said was true,” said Shen Mo.

As the two discussed their opinions, Lin Xian sat on the chair and enjoyed the tea. After a while, he talked to Liu Binglan as if he just remembered something, “Oh, I just said that one-sidedly, do you mind?”

Liu Binglan shook her head. He already said those things, the old maidservant was also chased away. She could not change anything even if she minded.

It was fine in itself. The action He City took basically declared themselves to be New Moon Land’s ally. This was a good thing for New Moon Land.

Soon, that old butler returned to the reception hall. He invited New Moon Land and He City to a connected villa with his gentle smile.

Connected villas usually consisted of two guest villas. There would be a midair walkway and cliff pavilion connected between the two villas. It would certainly be much more convenient for both sides.

“Oh, Mr. Bai Yu, we have other arrangements for you. Are you staying here or......” That old butler suddenly remembered something before going away and asked Bai Yu.

“I’m staying here. Call me if there’s anything.” said Bai Yu.

“Understood.”

......

The old butler left through the mountain passage. When he was walking down the stairs, two figures suddenly appeared in front of that old butler.

The old butler did not panic. He calmly looked at the two and spoke, “It can’t be helped. I intended to put New Moon Land in a villa that is far away to make it easier for you to make your move. However, He City’s City Lord insisted to be with them......”

“This He City’s City Lord got a screw loose in his mind!” cursed Chen Jing.

They were already at Dual Earth Mountain. It would be really dangerous to make a move here. However, the old madam’s order had to be completed no matter what.

The two of them were already prepared to take the risk. In the end, He City actually wanted to live together with New Moon Land, this was almost the same as nipping their plan in the bud.

“Could it be that He City’s City Lord noticed something and purposely protected New Moon Land?” Qu Feng rubbed his stub and pondered.

“Impossible. He City and New Moon Land had no relationships. If you say He City’s City Lord Lin Xian has his eyes on Liu Binglan and wants to try his luck by being close, that’s more plausible! Hmph, this Lin Xian must have cooped up in his little city for too long and his brain got rusty. He should check whether he can handle the risk for allying with New Moon Land. Does he think he can take on the subjugation by all the other factions this time?” condemned Chen Jing angrily.

“I have something to tell you,” The old butler interrupted Chen Jing’s complaint.

“What?”

“I saw an old face in New Moon Land’s group,” said the old butler.

“Old face?” Chen Jing and Qu Feng looked at the old butler.

“Yes, Old Yu,” said the old butler.

“What Old Yu?” Chen Jing never heard about such a person.

Qu Feng’s expression turned even worse and spoke, “Is it really him?”

“Yes. It seems that his current identity should be that Female Supreme Liu’s bodyguard. If he’s around, you two probably cannot accomplish your mission. You should ask old madam again,” said the old butler.

After that, the old butler left them behind.

“Who exactly is that Old Yu?” asked Chen Jing.

“You still don’t know much about the foreign surnames in our royalty, but I am somewhat knowledgeable. He is Yu Fengdi, the Chief Instructor of our previous youth generation. Many of our core members were taught by him,” said Qu Feng.

“No way, he’s the previous Chief Instructor? Then even three or four of us are no match for him!” said Chen Jing.

“He is already old, so he should not be as strong as before. However, our current Chief Instructor was also his prided disciple in the past......” Qu Feng also felt a headache.

In the previous scouting, Qu Feng always felt the old bodyguard next to Liu Binglan to be familiar.

At first, he only thought it was a coincidence. However, after the old butler reminded him, he immediately found it to be troublesome.

He was indeed an expert amongst the royalty. There was hardly anyone in Zhengming Continent or Wupan Continent who could match.

However, his current achievement was partly due to the old Chief Instructor Yu Fengdi. That old Chief Instructor taught him for a few months before retiring.

In just those few months, Qu Feng greatly benefitted from the lessons. It was also during that period of time that his strength grew rapidly and shined amongst the royalty......

He was already an expert in the royalty now and would soon enter the core member group. As a result, that old madam just had to give him such an order. Abducting a person under the eyes of his old Chief Instructor when he was young, how was that different from suiciding?

“Looks like it won’t be our turn to enter the core member group this time. Hopefully, old madam won’t demote us,” said Qu Feng.

“How would you know without trying? You also said he has gotten old,” Chen Jing did not want to give up.

“You still don’t understand?” said Qu Feng.

“Understand what?”

“Do you think it’s a coincidence that he appeared next to Female Supreme Liu and protected her safety?”

“You mean......” Chen Jing was startled for a moment.

“Yes, someone in our clan is protecting her, and since long ago.”

......

The conference would be held three days later. During these three days, people often walked around between villas. This was probably the interchange between those factions. The complicated relationship network was not something New Moon Land could map out after just joining the network.

Fortunately, He City was similarly uninvolved like New Moon Land, this allowed Liu Binglan not to feel isolated. Thinking again, independent territories would hardly get involved in such faction networks.

“I have been to this Dual Earth Mountain before. There is a rather high positioned old friend I wish to visit. Supreme Liu may go with me, this is beneficial to our New Moon Land,” Uncle Yu told Liu Binglan.

Liu Binglan was really bored. There were hardly any visits over the past two days. Even the few visits were just pretentious probing. It was not a good feeling.

“Hmm, sure. He should be an old senior, right?” Liu Binglan nodded.

“Not really old,” Uncle Yu smiled.

Liu Binglan followed Uncle Yu to an elegant house behind the Main Peak Villa. This house was on the back of the mountain. It should be a hermit teahouse of a certain elderly who preferred quietness and seclusiveness.

“Please wait for a while, I will inform him,” said Uncle Yu.

Liu Binglan nodded and waited at a mini spring. She was a little curious just who was able to own such a house in Dual Earth Mountain.

......

The wooden house was simple and neat. One table, two chairs, a tea set, and there seemed to be nothing else.

Uncle Yu pushed open the door and entered, then gently closed the door.

He bowed and politely spoke to a man with black hair and white fringes, “Master, she is outside.”

The man opened his eyes. The moment his eyelids lifted up, light shone from his purple pupils as if a lightning dragon rushed out!

He held up his tea cup and took a light sip.

“Tell her that I’m resting today, and do not wish to be interrupted.”

“Master, didn’t you want to meet her all this while? So why?” asked Uncle Yu confusedly.

“I will just look at her from the window. Is she next to the spring?”

“This......” Uncle Yu still wanted to say something, but did not know how to put it. He could only nod, “Alright.”

Uncle Yu’s master spoke again just as he was about to leave the wooden house.

“Don’t go out yet,”

Uncle Yu took a glance at his master and soon understood the reason. He returned to where he stood.
