Watching her demeanor, Jing Feng finally understood: "You are not sure."
"You have never seen the Venerable One live like an ordinary person, so you are not sure if you will still love him."
Tang Yi lowered her head without refuting, just quietly listening to Jing Feng's words.
"But if I asked Miss Bai the same question, what do you think she would answer?"
Jing Feng smiled and looked at Tang Yi: "She would look at me in confusion and ask, what does it matter?"
In this moment, Tang Yi seemed to find release.
What she loved was the high and mighty Venerable One, the powerful expert of the Nine Heavens who held absolute power. Not the Venerable One who had shed his glory and lived like an ordinary person…
But was this still love… Tang Yi lowered her head and chuckled: "You are persuading me like this because you are afraid I will harm her, aren't you?"
Jing Feng smiled awkwardly, as if he had been found out…
Tang Yi turned her head, but the unwillingness and grievance in her eyes were gone: "But I still have to thank you."
"I admit, I only love the Venerable One's aura. I am not sure if I would still love him if the Venerable One were born an ordinary person."
"Perhaps not," Tang Yi smiled helplessly.
Jing Feng scratched his head: "Don't look at me, I haven't liked anyone before, but when it comes to relationships, I am quite knowledgeable!"
She was amused: "I actually think you and Jing Yun are quite suitable."
"Ha? Jing Yun?" The thought of him made him feel uneasy all over: "No, no, no, I don't fancy him."
They chatted all night, and the unwillingness in Tang Yi's heart gradually faded, finally dissolving into nothingness…
…
"Tang Yi left?"
The next day, Bai Ran asked somewhat puzzled: "Why?"
Jing Feng, with dark circles under his eyes and a hoarse voice, replied: "Perhaps she has turned over a new leaf."
He vaguely remembered Tang Yi's last question the night before: What kind of person is Madam?
What kind of person? At that moment, Jing Feng burst out laughing.
He replied: Before he knew Madam, he had always admired the Venerable One. But after meeting Madam, his heart had rebelled. Kuaishuge.
Tang Yi, upon hearing his answer, was stunned for a moment and then smiled: That's good.
…
"Miss Bai, this is for you from Tang Yi," Jing Feng said, taking out a bowl of sweet osmanthus soup and placing it before Bai Ran.
"She said she made it for you yesterday, and I ate it."
Bai Ran looked at the steaming sweet osmanthus soup before her and smiled: "Thank her for me."
After finishing the sweet osmanthus soup, Jiang Ye walked in scratching his head: "Where is that person with a red hair on their head?"
Bai Ran's mouth twitched. He was probably referring to Xiao Zhu…
With a flick of her hand, she released Zhu Que again.
Zhu Que was bewildered. Wasn't she digging for spirit grass? Why was she out again? She hadn't even had time to transform back into human form yet…
Jiang Ye turned his head and saw Zhu Que on the table. He pointed at her and asked doubtfully: "Is this lunch today?"
The greatest joke in the human world is that I stand before you, and you don't recognize me…
In a blink of an eye, Zhu Que's face fell: "You idiot!"
Jiang Ye was startled and poked her cautiously: "How can a chick talk?"
Zhu Que's face turned black, then red, then red, then black. A flash of light and she transformed back into her human form.
Jiang Ye's eyes widened further, and he was too surprised to speak as he looked at the familiar person before him.
Zhu Que was so angry that her entire face turned red: "You're the chick! Your whole family are chicks!"
She angrily left the room. Bai Ran said with a smile: "Allow me to introduce myself formally, her name is Xiao Zhu, and she is a divine beast that can transform."
Jiang Ye blinked in confusion: "Little pig?"
"Aren't you going to coax her?" Jing Feng said, his face full of gossip: "She's clearly angry with you."
"Ah, right!" Jiang Ye turned and chased after Zhu Que's departing figure: "Little Pig! Let me explain to you!"
Jing Feng shook with laughter; he was truly a comedian.
Just then, City Lord Su rushed in anxiously: "Benefactor! Benefactor, something has happened!"
Bai Ran frowned: "Don't rush, tell me slowly what happened."
City Lord Su panted: "The spirit grass planting was very successful, but when we took it to other cities to sell, they refused to buy it at all!"
"They said that a barren land like Black Raven City couldn't possibly grow spirit grass, and that our spirit grass was fake!"
"Now the common people are trapped in Tongyue City, and the people of Tongyue City want to detain them and their spirit grass!"
Bai Ran clenched her fist: "Call them back, and go to Tongyue City."
…
At this time, in front of the largest spirit grass pavilion in Tongyue City.
The common people who had come from Black Raven City to sell spirit grass were all detained here…
"Our spirit grass is real! If you don't believe us, you can verify it!"
"Yes, our City Lord gave it to us, it's truly genuine spirit grass!"
The shopkeeper of the spirit grass pavilion looked at the group of ragged people before him with disdain: "You are the people of Black Raven City, of course you would say it's real."
More and more onlookers gathered. Originally, they had sympathized with these people, but upon hearing they were from Black Raven City, they immediately changed their stance.
"Black Raven City can grow such good spirit grass? Don't lie to us!"
"Exactly. Everyone knows that Black Raven City is barren, and not even vegetation grows there. Do you still want to try and trick our Tongyue City with fakes?"
"Since even the shopkeeper of the spirit grass pavilion says so, it can't be fake."
"Get out, you dirty people of Black Raven City!"
"Yes! Get out!"
A woman tightly hugged the little girl in her arms and covered her ears: "Be good, darling, we won't listen."
The little girl smiled and comforted the woman: "Mother, darling can't hear."
The woman's eyes reddened. She hated that she couldn't give her child a good life and had to let her suffer the pointing and disdain of others here.
The shopkeeper of the spirit grass pavilion sneered, his face full of contempt: "If we really accepted your fake spirit grass, would our spirit grass pavilion still be open for business?"
There were over ten people from Black Raven City, each with a grim expression.
They were not dirty, and their spirit grass was real…
"Bang—!" The shopkeeper of the spirit grass pavilion was suddenly knocked to the ground.
Everyone was shocked, and they looked at the man slowly standing up with disbelief.
"He hit the shopkeeper of the spirit grass pavilion!"
Jiang Ye impatiently glared at the surrounding crowd: "Keep babbling, and I'll hit you too!"
Instantly, the surroundings fell silent. This person was so crude…
City Lord Su, Zhu Que, and Jing Feng followed Bai Ran and slowly walked through the crowd.
As soon as the little girl saw Bai Ran, she grinned: "It's sister!"
The people of Black Raven City did not recognize Bai Ran, but they recognized City Lord Su. Seeing his arrival, they were filled with hope.
"Are you the shopkeeper of the spirit grass pavilion?" Bai Ran looked up and down the man on the ground, her eyes icy cold.
