Chapter 785
“……”
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
Not to mention Jiang Yan, even Fu Yunshen lifted his eyes and looked over this way.
He looked paused, his head lowered again, his voice pressed down and he gave a low laugh, “Little friend, a magnet, ah, finding another one?”
“I was also pondering whether I was really a magnet.” Still leaning into his arms, Ying Ziji raised her eyebrows, “But I seem to attract a bit more douchebags.”
Fu Yunshen looked lazy, “Then we’re each other.”
“Holy sh*t!” It took a full three minutes before Jiang Yan reacted, jumping back violently and trembling with fear, “You …… you you’re not kidding me, are you?”
His sister was a pervert yes, but how did she become a sage in a flash?
Sages, that is an existence that is worshipped like a god by the residents of the City of Worlds.
And each had special abilities and the power to resist disaster.
“Nope.” Ling Mianxi blinked again, “I just followed Ying to the Sage Courtyard for a spin yesterday and regained my memory and power.”
Before this, she herself had trouble believing that she was the reincarnation of a sage.
Jiang Yan still couldn’t accept it, he clutched his head and couldn’t help but look up to the sky and sigh sadly, “Heaven!”
He was already no match for Ling Mianxi, and this was even less so.
It was only after a while that Jiang Yan reluctantly slowed down and made a split-second decision, “I’m going to the Sage Academy too.”
Ling Mianxi looked at him, “Why are you going?”
Jiang Yan was adamant: “I might become a sage even as I walk.”
Hearing these words, Fu Yunshen raised his head again, his voice trailing off, “Do you know what the last person who said this is doing now?”
“Who else said that?” Jiang Yan froze, “What’s he doing?”
“Eating bubble noodles at the Hacker League.”
“……”
Jiang Yan declined.
Then he might as well go on surfing the internet and battling the spammers too.
“Oh, right.” Ling Mianxi dropped another sentence slowly, “What about Ying, she knows more sages than you think.”
“This little matter of everyone running for office, you can completely not worry about it.”
Even the Sage Queen was hammered against the wall by Ying Ziji, how much stronger could Heero be even if she had been taught by the Sage Tower?
They would help Ying Zidian unconditionally, but to Sara, Heero was a pawn to be discarded at will.
Jiang Yan came down fighting spirit here.
[@YingDadIsTheBest: That’s it? Only three? Let me tell you, there are seven or eight on my Ying Dad’s side, and they are also good friends with my Ying Dad.
This one caused a lot of backlash from the residents.
[Laughing, good friends with seven or eight sages, why don’t you say that she herself is a sage?
[Disperse, disperse, everyone disperse, I can see, this S-rank account is Ying Zidian’s blow, dare to blow anything.]
[Sit back and wait for Miss Hilo to beat this young lady in the Grand Champion race and give you a good smack in the face.
This time, Ying Zidian’s odds went up instead of down.
Obviously no one believed Jiang Yan’s words.
Jiang Yan took out the card Fu Yunshen had given him and put all the money in it into Ying Zidian, snorting coldly.
Wait and then blind this group of people.
Jiang Yan was very cool and asked again, “Sister, which one are you?”
His sister was a Sage, he wouldn’t be able to walk around in the City of Worlds?
“Lovers.” She lovingly stroked his dog’s head, “If you don’t behave, I’ll make sure you can’t find a girlfriend for the rest of your life.”
Jiang Yan: “!!!”
What kind of power is this?
“Ying Dad.” Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and turned his head, “Tell me, are you a sage too, I can afford it, Ying Dad?”
Ying Zidian seemed to have just noticed that there was a silly dog over here, she looked up from Fu Yunshen’s arms, “What did you say?”
Jiang Yan: “…… nothing.”
He should know, he never had a family status.
Ling Mianxi noticed that Nie Yi had been silent.
His brow was locked and his lips were pursed.
Ling Mianxi poked him in the face, “What’s wrong with you?
Nie Yi finally spoke, his voice low: “I can’t stay with you forever.”
For the first time, he had panic.
Sages might not be immortal, but their lifespan definitely far exceeded that of ancient martial artists.
One day in the future, she would still be young, but he would already be old.
“It’s alright, I’ve already pulled the strings for both of us.” Ling Mianxi raised her hand and smiled, “You’ll live as long as I live.”
Nie Yi was stunned, “Holding strings?”
“I’m the lover.” Ling Mianxi rubbed his chin, “Although my special ability is quite useless within the Magi, it’s not completely useless.”
Nie Yi’s eyebrows stretched out and his lips curled slightly, still brief and concise: “Hm.”
He suddenly thought of the most important thing, his eyes suddenly changing, “Xiaomian, how did you fall?”
A sage would only be reincarnated if he had fallen.
This proved that Ling Mianxi had also died at least once.
Ling Mianxi was silent for a brief moment, “Helped two people.”
At this point, she didn’t say any more, her expression bewildered.
Fu Yunshen felt something and turned his head slightly.
His amber eyes looked like stars were shining in them, and he was handsome and beautiful.
Until a voice called out to him.
“Sir.”
“Hmm?”
Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes lowered.
“I went to the Sage Courtyard with Mianxi yesterday and met the Sage Stars.” Ying Ziji’s eyes were slightly glued, “I deduced that she was affiliated with that power of Black Skull and that the magician was of a lower status than her.”
Most importantly, the Sage Star’s special ability was very dangerous.
Like Qin Lingyu’s dream control, it could be hit without a second thought.
In her opinion, instead, it was much harder to deal with than the Tower’s disaster.
“It’s not just her.” Fu Yunshen’s eyes narrowed slightly, “There must be more.”
Ying nodded slowly, “But we’re getting more powerful too.”
“We’ll win.” Fu Yunshen hugged her, “Don’t worry, I promise.”
He wouldn’t let him lose her again.
**
On the other side, in Heero’s private villa.
Heero looked at the online voters’ votes, and the comments below, and snorted lightly.
Jiang Yan’s comment had already been topped to the most popular.
There were more than ten thousand replies below, mostly mocking.
Ying Zidian’s reputation was loud, but in the eyes of the residents, it was a far cry from the long-established Sage.
Heero only took the comment as an exaggeration.
She glanced at the turnout.
She was still way ahead.
“Miss Shilo.” There was a knock on the door, “I have come to deliver your invitation from the Jade family and bring orders from Her Majesty.”
Heero immediately rose, “Come in.”
The steward pushed open the door and handed over an invitation, “This is a banquet hosted by the Jade Family for their youngest master, a banquet for all the famous and powerful people in the city.”
Heero accepted it perfunctorily, “What are the orders from the Lord Queen?”
“The Lord Queen says that when you take the position of Grand Master, you are to be the first to execute the losers.” The steward spoke, “Especially Ying Zigui, to ensure the reputation of the Lord Pope, he cannot be kept.”
“Understood.” Heero nodded, a gloomy look crossing his eyes, “Even if Lord Pope doesn’t say so, I will do so.”
Ying Zidian was indeed a time bomb.
If not removed, it would become a curse.
Only then did the steward leave.
Heero put the invitation away, thinking that he would have some free time tomorrow, so he would drop by.
** The next day.
The following day.
The Jade Family’s invitations were sent to all the great clans and powers in the City of Worlds.
Many guests came.
In this way, Old Lady Jade was delighted.
Even a few of the commanders of the Four Great Knights had arrived.
Old Lady Yu hurriedly stepped forward to greet them and groveled, “Greetings, adults.”
Upon hearing this, the Star Coin Knight Commander glanced at her and spoke, “I have come on the orders of Lord Sage, the Sage Lords may be present in person, remember to be prepared.”
Old Lady Yu now tensed up, “Yes, definitely!”
The Magi are coming?
This was a big deal.
Old Lady Yu immediately ordered the servants to get busy, and she herself stood at the door to greet the guests.
Not far away.
Jiang Yan had a stinky face, “If it weren’t for my father, I wouldn’t even be here.”
“Dilly-dallying and propping up a scene.” Ling Mianxi shrugged, “What do you think?”
Jiang Yan turned his head, “Where’s my father Ying?”
“Miss Ying has gone to the research institute.” Yu Xue Sheng smiled lightly, “Yun Shen went to pick her up, she’ll be there in a moment.”
As a few people spoke, they had already arrived at the entrance of the manor.
Old Lady Yu glanced at Ling Mianxi, Qin Lingyu and Yu Xuesheng with a scrutinizing gaze for a few moments.
The more she looked, the more her brow furrowed and she asked the attendant at the side, “Where are they from?”
There was no mark of nobility, no guards or servants, a group of commoners.
The Jade Family, too, was where these people could come in?
Old Lady Jade didn’t even look at them and waved her hand, “Get rid of them.”
She was still too busy to receive the Magi adults to care about these commoners.
Chapter 786
Old Lady Yu has never given up on finding a marriage partner for Fu Yunshen.
Ever since Ling Yu was removed from his position as administrator, Old Lady Yu has never looked at Lime Ruo in the same way.
This did not bring any benefit to the Jade family.
Old Lady Jade’s target now was Hilo Leyengar.
Neither the caretaker nor the Knight Commander was as close as Heero and the Sage, after all.
This was the perfect target.
Just at that moment, an attendant spoke respectfully, “Old Lady, Miss Hilo is here.”
“Miss Heero.” Old Madam Yu immediately put on a smiling face and greeted her towards the other side, “Miss Heero, you’re actually here, you’ve really made our Jade Family shine.”
“You are welcome, old madam.” Heero’s attitude was still perfunctory, only nodding slightly, “I am also rather busy with my affairs, I just came to take a look, I might leave after a while.”
“It is already a blessing for us that Miss Heero is here.” Old Lady Jade was flattered, “I heard that the election for the Grand Master will start this weekend, and the Jade family will definitely have the power to support Miss Shilo by then.”
Saying that, she lowered her voice, “Miss Shilo, that first eldest grandson of mine is a very outstanding person, I will let him and Miss Shilo get to know each other then.”
Heero smiled, inwardly completely unimpressed.
She was a disciple of three sages, she would look at a first-born member of the Jade family?
But she didn’t say anything about it.
Heero handed the outer garment to the attendant next to her, her eyes glanced at it without thinking, and suddenly gave a pause.
Her feet were also fixed in place, and her face could not help but turn white.
Old Lady Yu immediately tensed up, “Miss Heero, is something wrong?”
Heero hesitated for a moment and shook her head, “Nothing.”
When she looked over again, there was no longer the familiar figure there.
Only the guests who were left to fish their way in were left.
It was then that Heero breathed a long sigh of relief.
Just now, she had seen the Sage Moon and the Sage Sun.
It had been an illusion.
How could a Sage come to such a small place in person.
**
On the other side.
The servants who had been sent by Old Lady Yu to stop Qin Lingyu’s few people knelt on the ground, not even daring to let out their breath.
“A bunch of idiots.” The fifth young master pointed at their noses and cursed, “These are all friends of this young master, try stopping them, an old woman’s words so obedient, what’s the matter, she can run for Grand Master?”
The fifth young master thought very clearly.
His elder brother and sister-in-law’s friends, then they were his friends.
He had to be properly provided for.
Jiang Yan was about to pick up a stick and beat these servants over the head, when he was shocked by the Fifth Young Master’s move and turned his head, “Who is this Bean?”
Ling Mianxi glanced at him, “You have the nerve to call someone else Bean.”
At that moment, a low, slow voice rang out, lazily tinged with laughter.
“What are all doing here?”
“Hey, big brother!” The fifth young master’s eyes lit up, “The old woman wanted to chase our friends away, and I just taught them a lesson, little brother.”
Fu Yunshen’s peach blossom eyes swept slightly and he had an idea in his mind, “Hard work.”
“Not hard, not hard.” The fifth young master grinned broadly, “Big brother, who are we with? We are brothers, let’s go together.”
Jiang Yan was so sour, “Father Fu, this old woman is too bossy, isn’t she?”
Ying Zidian tilted his head: “Jiang Yan.”
Jiang Yan: “Yes!”
“Don’t insult the dog.” Ying Ziji bent down and took out a small slice of roast meat to feed the white Samoyed that the fifth young master had, “The dog is cute.”
She also reached out and stroked the Samoyed’s fluffy head.
A thought crossed her mind.
Should she buy a dog too and use it as a mount for Dudu.
Jiang Yan: “……”
“Big brother, that old woman doesn’t mean well, so why are you still here?” The fifth young master frowned, “I also all knew about Uncle Shao Yun from my parents long ago, this old woman is too hateful.”
It could be said that Fu Liu Ying and Yu Shao Yun’s tragedy was also caused by Old Lady Yu.
“Play around and see the drama.” Fu Yunshen gave a faint hmph, and after a pause, added, “Right, you read more.”
Fifth Young Master: “?”
“You can’t run for the presidency without a brain.”
“……”
Fu Yunshen turned his head and his eyes softened down, “Yao Yao, you sit with Xuesheng and the others, I’m afraid I’ll hurt you later.”
Ying Ziyang held the satsuma and raised her eyebrows, “I’ll find a seat with the best view.”
**
It was half an hour before the dinner started and the banquet hall was already full.
Heero was placed at the main table, attracting a lot of ideas.
“Isn’t that Miss Shilo?”
“What’s Miss Shilo doing here? Could the House of Magi be marrying her off to the Jade Family?”
“Rather, she is a good match for Duke Fu.”
Old Lady Yu was delighted to hear this, when she saw Fu Yunshen enter.
“Yun Shen, this is Miss Xiluo.” Old Lady Yu smiled, “I’m sure you know that Miss Xiluo is a disciple of the Empress’ masters, you are only a few years apart, you should have a lot in common.”
“It just so happens that the dinner party hasn’t started yet, so why don’t we have a chat and improve our relationship.”
Fu Yunshen didn’t even look at Heero, he walked straight over and sat down at the head of the main table.
Heero’s outstretched hand just stopped in mid-air, his face a little ugly.
An ordinary man.
I don’t know what the arrogance was.
She didn’t care to know him yet.
When Old Lady Yu was brushed off, there was also anger on her face.
But when she thought of her next plan, she could only hold it in.
She held back.
When Fu Yunshen had taken the magician’s pill, she would only be at her mercy.
Old Lady Yu squeezed out another smile and sat down as well, making amends to Heero: “Miss Heero, this child Yun Shen is rather arrogant, you must not mind.”
Heero hummed and didn’t say anything.
As soon as six o’clock arrived, the banquet officially began.
The guests’ eyes converged on the main table as they waited for Old Lady Yu to make her speech.
Old Lady Jade did stand up.
But the next moment, she knelt down with a thud towards Fu Yunshen.
This action caused many of the guests to be shocked.
“Old Madam!”
“Isn’t today a banquet? Why is she kneeling down? Get up.”
Old Madam Yu, however, did not move a muscle and was obstinate: “I have done many wrongs in my life, today then this opportunity to make amends to my grandson in front of everyone.”
Fu Yunshen sat on the first place, his long fingers playing with a silver dinner knife.
His expression was indifferent, without any emotion as he looked at Old Lady Yu who was kneeling on the ground, his light amber pupils were a cold.
“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault as an old lady.” Old Lady Yu began to kowtow, choking out a sob, “I shouldn’t have used coloured gla*ses to look at people, forcing your father and mother apart, causing a tragedy that can’t be undone.”
“It is also because I did not know people well and did not discover the true nature of that b*tch Zhu Sha, which hurt you all.”
Old Lady Yu cried out in tears, “Yun Shen, all people do wrong things, Grandma is old and doesn’t have long to live, can you please let me enjoy my blessings during my lifetime?”
“You are such a kind person, how can you be an enemy to your grandmother all the time, right? Yun Shen, Grandma begs you ……”
The entire banquet hall echoed with the sound of Old Lady Yu’s cries.
However, a full ten minutes pa*sed before Old Lady Yu finally noticed that something was wrong.
She stopped and only then did she realise that not a single person spoke up for her at all.
Instead, a few noblewomen wanted to speak up, but swallowed their words hard when they saw the knife in Fu Yunshen’s hand.
The scene of Zhu Sha’s trial was too deep.
Especially the words that Fu Yunshen said –
“Whoever hurts Fu Liu Ying will end up just like Zhu Sha.”
This man dared to say it, then he must dare to do it.
If they dared to open their mouths, they would definitely become the target of this knife.
Old Lady Yu froze in place, forgetting to even cry.
Fu Yunshen put down the silver dinner knife with a snap, lifted his chin and smiled: “Go on, I haven’t heard enough.”
Old Lady Yu opened her mouth but could not utter a single sound, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
This was not what she had expected.
What was going on?
According to her plan, the guests would now all be on her side, urging Fu Yunshen to be generous.
“Finished?” Fu Yunshen slowly turned his head, “When I’m done, it’s my turn to speak.”
He picked up a gla*s of red wine next to his plate, “Drink this gla*s of wine, and the feud between me and you will be settled.”
Seeing this gla*s of red wine, Old Lady Yu’s heart jumped and she forced herself to stay calm: “Yun Shen, Grandma is old, Grandma can’t drink.”
She had specially drugged this wine.
How could she possibly drink it?
Fu Yunshen was also really crooked, taking such a cup of wine specifically.
“Just one gla*s of wine.” Fu Yunshen gently shook the red wine gla*s, “You don’t want to reconcile with me, do you?”
At this, the guests spoke up.
“Old Lady Yu, it’s just one gla*s of wine, and Duke Fu is also reconciled with you, so you can drink it. ”
“Yes, a family, there is no such thing as an overnight feud, old madam, how nice it is to drink the wine and forget your grudges with a smile.”
Old Lady Yu’s cold sweat was glistening.
She had never imagined that she would be the one being pushed.
Fu Yun Shen tapped his fingers on the table and smiled, “Then please drink it down.”
“Big brother, me me me, I’m coming!” The fifth young master jumped out at once and walked over with the gla*s of wine, “Grandma, look my big brother has taken the initiative to make up with you, so don’t push back.”
He pa*sed the gla*s of red wine to Old Lady Yu’s mouth and suddenly raised his hand violently, directly pouring it down for Old Lady Yu.
Old Lady Yu was caught off guard.
After realising that she had drunk the entire amount of wine, she immediately dry-heaved, her face pale to the point of misery.
It was over, she had drunk the medicine herself, she was going to be finished!
Fu Yunshen leaned back in his chair with a lazy expression, “Stand up.”
Old Lady Yu did not want to do so, but her body stood up uncontrollably.
Fu Yunshen: “Kneel down.”
Old Lady Yu knelt down again with a bang.
“Slap yourself.”
Old Lady Yu lifted her hand and slapped herself on the face.
“Keep slapping.”
Old Lady Yu began to slap her own face in a series of slaps and couldn’t stop.
“……”
The guests were dumbfounded.
Did this old madam of the Jade Family have some hidden illness?
Ying Zigui’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The Sage Magician’s talent was worthy of pill refining, and a single pill casually given to Old Lady Yu was able to completely manipulate a person.
“Crap, bull.” The fifth young master saw something, “Big brother, is she under your control? Can you make her learn how to bark like a dog?”
“It’s not impossible.” Fu Yunshen lifted his eyes, “Learn to bark like a dog.”
Old Lady Yu’s face turned pale and her teeth leaked blood: “Woof woof woof!”
Fu Yunshen looked pale: “Say it all.”
“I begged for a medicine from Lord Magician, a medicine that can make people obey.” Old Lady Yu gritted her teeth to death, but still said it all, “I am going to give you this medicine to eat, so that you can be controlled by me, and you will have to do whatever I say.”
“You are my grandson, I am your grandmother, and you still want to defy me? There is no way!”
“I’m going to make you a puppet of the Jade family for the rest of your life, the same as your father!”
“!”
One word stirred up a thousand waves.
The guests were all greatly shocked.
They could now fully see that Old Lady Yu had put this medicine into Fu Yunshen’s red wine.
Once she had her way, Fu Yunshen would become her puppet.
Completely incapable of acting on his own.
“Old woman, what a poisonous heart!”
“She deserved it, she got what she deserved.”
“But why would Lord Magician develop such a vicious medicine?”
In the impression of the inhabitants, the Magi were all gentle and affable, without any flaws.
Hearing these words, Heero’s face sank.
The Jade family had nothing to do with her, but the magician was her teacher, and she could not stand by and watch his reputation be tarnished.
Heero coldly: “Your Jade family is really enough, playing such cheap tricks to smear Lord Magician’s reputation, if not for me being here today, how many people are you planning to deceive?”
Fu Yunshen still didn’t look at her: “Continue.”
Old Lady Yu’s face turned even paler as she was forced to take out the medicine box.
On it, was the unique seal of the Magus Magician.
