Linghe felt that the atmosphere was very wrong that day!
On the morning three days ago, Liu Huo had suddenly disappeared. After Ji Fengyan looked for a few days and still did not manage to find him, the atmosphere in the residence became very weird. She would just sit at the hall while propping her chin with her arms and stay silent. Zuo Nuo and the other guards who walked past the hall would usually be laughing and fooling around with one another, but with Ji Fengyan in such a state, all of them only dared to cautiously walk past the hall quietly.
Zuo Nuo held it in for a long time but he could not tolerate any longer.
“Chief, what has happened to Miss? And what exactly happened to Liu Huo that brat?”
Linghe moved the corner of his mouth. “I don’t know. Anyway, he’s gone, and now Miss is feeling down, so you guys’d better not disturb her.”
“Where can Liu Huo go when he is not familiar with this place? Should I send some men to look for him?” Zuo Nuo asked.
Linghe shook his head. “I have asked Miss, but she declined. After all... Liu Huo was only someone that we picked up along the way. We have never asked where he lives or whether he has a family. Maybe he is missing his family, so he had returned.”
They could only think of excuses for Liu Huo’s sudden departure themselves.
Ji Fengyan continued to stay silent, but after a while, someone passed the news that Gong Zhiyu had arrived and would like to see Ji Fengyan. Finally, Ji Fengyan responded and asked them to let him in.
Gong Zhiyu had changed his outfit. The grey and thick coat had been replaced by a cream white one, making his fair face stand out. The two men clad in black were quiet as they followed after him. A warm smile was still on Gong Zhiyu’s face as he walked into the hall.
Seeing Ji Fengyan sitting listlessly in the hall, Gong Zhiyu could not help but wonder.
“Fengyan what is wrong? You look so lethargic.”
Ji Fengyan looked up at Gong Zhiyu and said grudgingly, “That stupid brat has run away from home.”
“...” Gong Zhiyu was slightly stunned and only came to a realisation after a while. He could not help but laugh as he said, “He must have missed his family, maybe he will be back after a few days.”
“I’m not even sure if his body has recovered, yet he has already run off somewhere.” Ji Fengyan wrinkled her nose. She was not concerned about other matters and was only worried that his body had yet to recover fully.
Gong Zhiyu laughed as he shook his head. This look of Ji Fengyan really seemed like his family. When he was unwell, his mother would also nag at him every time he had to leave.
“After a few days, our group has to set off to other cities, so I would like to settle my matters within these few days,” Gong Zhiyun explained the main objective of his visit. His men took out a few dull silver scrolls and placed them before Ji Fengyan.
“You have seen the golden scroll, but the items in this scroll are all good and not bad. You can see whether you have anything that you need.”
Ji Fengyan was not in a good mood and did not feel like looking at these things. She immediately asked Linghe to come over and placed all the items in his arms. Then, she stood up and said, “Linghe, take your time to choose. I shall bring you to see the ores first.”
“Sure.” Gong Zhiyu smiled. It was surprising that Ji Fengyan had actually revealed her emotions so explicitly.
The last time that Gong Zhiyu came, Linghe had already brought him to the storeroom. This time, he was here mainly to pick those ores that he needed.
After Ji Fengyan opened the storeroom door and lazily pulled a chair to sit at the side, she just watched as Gong Zhiyu chose the ores.
Gong Zhiyu gestured towards his two men and found a chair to sit beside Ji Fengyan.
