Linghe and the rest waited for half a day in the residence. Even after eating their lunch, there were still no signs from Ji Fengyan, which made Linghe unable to hold it in and he looked for her.

Ji Fengyan was sitting in her room in front of her table and playing with a palm-sized big little paper-man.

“Miss, what time are we leaving exactly?” Linghe asked.

Ji Fengyan looked at Linghe and then at the little paper-man in her hands.

Suddenly, that little paper man’s head moved slightly, and it was unclear whether it was due to the wind or other reasons.

Ji Fengyan’s lips curled into a smile. She kept away the little paper man and stood up. “All right, Brother Ling, we can set off now.”

Linghe finally heaved a sigh of relief. He called up all the people and went bustling out of the residence.

The distance from the residence to outside the city gates was not far. Within a short while, Ji Fengyan and the others had reached the city gates.

Outside the city gates, there were already a group of people. It was the midafternoon and the sun was hanging high in the sky, shining so hot and bright. No one knew how long those people had stood there for, as the elegant clothes on them were already soaked in sweat.

Lei Xu and Lei Min were among them and their faces were already pale. After seeing Ji Fengyan arrive, Lei Min’s face darkened to the extreme!

They had agreed with Ji Fengyan to meet outside the city early that morning, but they had only come after having lunch, just so that they could take Ji Fengyan a notch down. Who knew that this brat had actually arrived even later than them!

Lei Xu had also specially invited a few people with high status in Ji City so that they could pressure Ji Fengyan, but in the end…

This bunch of fellows, who had always lived in comfort, had stood in the sun for quite some time before finally meeting the person Lei Xu had previously mentioned.

“Sorry, I had overslept and made everyone wait so long,” Ji Fengyan said with a smile. When no one was noticing, her fingers moved slightly and a white wisp of air drifted out from Lei Min’s back. As everyone was standing under the scorching sun, no one had realised this.

Lei Min had almost wanted to choke this troublesome woman to death.

After calming himself down for a long while, and finally suppressing the dissatisfaction in him, Lei Xu forced a smile on his face. “No troubles, we had also just arrived here. I have still yet to introduce to you Fengyan, these people are the heads of the prestigious families in Ji City and each of them has an important status.”

Those middle-aged men were all dressed in elegant clothes and upon seeing this unattractive young girl, even with Lei Xu’s introduction, their attitudes were still very perfunctory.

Ji Fengyan smiled without bothering more, as she was also not interested in socialising with this group of people.

“Since everyone is here, Master Lei, please lead the way?”

Lei Xu nodded. The horse carriages that had already been arranged beforehand were already waiting outside the city. Everyone got onto their horse carriages and headed in the direction where the mineral veins were clustered.

In the horse carriage, Linghe looked at his Miss with extreme respect. “Miss, no wonder you wanted to delay until now before leaving. Have you predicted that the pair of bastard father and son won’t be punctual?”

They had actually agreed on morning, yet it seemed like Lei Xu and the rest had just arrived not long ago. Had Ji Fengyan and they left for the city gates in the early morning, they would have been giddy from standing too long in the sun!

Ji Fengyan supported her chin with one hand and smiled faintly without giving an obvious response, but her actions had already made it very clear.

“Brother Ling, have a good rest. I believe that there will be a good show upon reaching the place.”
