Chapter 73  : Fortunes Rise and Fall

Beating someone’s son half dead and forcing them to kneel to express gratitude — this sort of thing could only be done so naturally by Ji Fengyan.

“All right, Brother Ling, that’s about enough. Hurry and support him up.” Ji Fengyan waved her hands casually.

Linghe and the other guard secretly landed two hits on Lei Min to make him completely unconscious before pretending to put down the sword in a well-behaved manner and lifting the unconscious Lei Min up.

Lei Min’s legs were already soaked in blood by now. Even when unconscious, his feet were already trembling uncontrollably.

This sight made Lei Xu’s heart feel as painful as being viciously dug by someone with a knife. He immediately asked his men to go forward and carry Lei Min. He took a glance at Ji Fengyan secretly, regardless of how much hatred he had for Ji Fengyan that he almost wanted to kill her, he could only hold it in and continue to thank her.

Ji Fengyan did not respond to Lei Xu’s hypocrisy and instead raised her brows at the sword that Linghe was carrying on his back. “How was it?”

Linghe smiled and said softly, “Refreshing!”

Ji Fengyan laughed softly and used a voice that was so soft that only her guards could hear, “this is his retribution, that old man dared to plot against you guys, so I shall drag his son down as well.”

Ji Fengyan’s nonchalant sentence made Linghe and the rest all stunned. They then realised that Ji Fengyan was furious this time not because she was fighting for her own justice, but because Lei Xu’s tricks in the cave almost made Linghe and his men injured...

The ease of mind he felt turned to a touched feeling at this moment. Linghe and the rest cleared their throats and suppressed the emotional feeling in their hearts.

Lei Xu’s men started to clean up Lei Min’s wounds, but there were no physicians among the people who had followed them here. Due to Lei Xu’s plan to make Ji Fengyan injured that day, he had not brought a physician along purposely, who knew... in the end, the one who urgently needed a physician was not Ji Fengyan but his own son.

Seeing his son in such a miserable state for the first time, Lei Xu could not wait any longer and made his men carry Lei Min to receive treatment.

But...

“Master Lei, where are you heading to?” Ji Fengyan suddenly said.

Whenever he heard Ji Fengyan’s voice, Lei Xu felt his head tingle. He could only force himself to turn around and say to Ji Fengyan, “Reporting to City Lord, Min’er injuries are quite heavy, so... your subordinate I wish to bring him to check on his injuries.”

“Oh?” Ji Fengyan slightly raised her brows and smiled exceptionally innocently, “I have to remind Master Lei that your mission today is to bring me to see Ji City’s mineral veins. Now that I have not seen all the mineral vein, you are intending to neglect your duty?”

It was another huge offence labelled on Lei Xu, making him almost vomit blood.

If it was in Ji City, he would not care about Ji Fengyan at all, but... looking at the deserted hills around and Linghe and his men standing behind Ji Fengyan...

“But Min’er’s injuries...” Lei Xu struggled again.

“Don’t worry Master Lei, so long as Master Lei brings me to see a few other mineral veins that I’m satisfied, we can immediately return to Ji City to look for a physician for Lei Min,” Ji Fengyan smiled with a fake innocence.

But when her words entered Lei Xu’s ears, it sounded like a demon’s calling.

Ji Fengyan was obviously using Lei Min’s life as a threat, forcing Lei Xu to directly hand over the mineral veins, otherwise... she would not let Lei Xu bring his son to receive treatment!
