The Indomitable Master of Elixirs
chapter-117

The man laughed softly as he shook his head, “the items in the golden scroll is only a part, if you have sufficient rare ores, there will be more precious items that I can exchange.”

While contemplating hard, Ji Fengyan looked at the man who had a calm composure. Not only was his tone gentle and amiable, even the gracefulness in his behaviour could not be ignored. This temperament was not something that an ordinary business family could inculcate in him.

But…

“I still have many ores in my residence. So long as there are sufficient items to exchange for, I can bring them over any time,” Ji Fengyan said at a moderate pace. Even though the twin everlasting feelings flower was rare, it was nothing special to her.

To recover her inner core as soon as possible, Ji Fengyan could only try all sorts of means and ways.

“Regarding this matter, you may be rest assured,” The man smiled as he said, and he took a quick glance at Ji Fengyan’s small face.

Seeing his gaze, Ji Fengyan instinctively touched her own cheeks. “What’s the matter?”

The man laughed softly and said, “Nothing, it’s just that I did not think that Ji City’s new City Lord would be this…”

“This young, is it?” Ji Fengyan casually asked.

The man was slightly stunned as he was indeed humoured by Ji Fengyan’s self-mocking tone.

“Yes, it was out of my expectation.”

“I believe that my age would not affect our collaboration,” Ji Fengyan said.

“Naturally,” the man responded and then continued, “I am Gong Zhiyu, I have still yet to ask you…”

Ji Fengyan.”

Linghe and Zuo Nuo waited outside the horse carriage for a while. Their eyes continuously drifted to the horse carriage that Ji Fengyan had entered. Only Yang Jian stood motionless with a straight face.

The commoners who were queuing around the area all gazed curiously at them.

After a while, the door to the horse carriage was finally opened. Linghe and Zuo Nuo immediately moved over.

But it was not Ji Fengyan who was walking out of the horse carriage slowly. Instead, it was a handsome man who had a thick coat over him. The two of them wanted to say something, but they immediately stopped after they saw that man.

“Young master,” the two businessmen who were guarding outside, after seeing the young man walk out of the horse carriage, immediately had a surprised look on their faces. They approached him and quickly helped Gong Zhiyu down the horse carriage.

After Gong Zhiyu had landed on the ground, Ji Fengyan then slowly appeared from the horse carriage.

“Young master, why are you…” the two businessmen looked at Gong Zhiyu with worried eyes.

Gong Zhiyu slightly lifted his arm to stop their sentence. He turned over to look at Ji Fengyan, who had already walked down from the horse carriage, and said, “Then I shall trouble you today.”

Ji Fengyan responded with a sound. Meanwhile, Linghe and Zuo Nuo had a confused look as they did not know what Ji Fengyan and Gong Zhiyu had discussed.

…

Back at the residence, Liu Huo sat in the middle of the yard. With his eyes lowered, he looked at little Bai Ze, who was laying beside his feet.

Suddenly, there was a wave of disorderly footsteps heard. Liu Huo instinctively lifted his head to see a guard running past in front of him.

“What happened?” Liu Huo asked.

The guard stopped in his tracks. “Young master Liu Huo, Miss and the rest are back.” Then he ran towards the front yard.

It was unclear what Liu Huo was thinking, but he patted Bai Ze’s head, got up from the stone bench, and walked towards the front yard.

Just when he reached the front yard, Liu Huo saw that familiar figure walking before his eyes.
