Yun Feiyue also noticed that Min Hanghai's attitude towards Feng Yuqin was a bit different.
He cast a surprised glance at Feng Yuqin, then shifted his gaze to Yan Xiao and the others.
"Thank you, Elder Min." After Feng Yuqin finished speaking, she asked, "Will your city lord show up before we enter the trial ground?"
"Normally, the city lord would show up for a while at that time. But today's situation is special. I'm not sure when the city lord will appear." Min Hanghai's words were beyond the understanding of others except Feng Yuqin and her companions.
"What? Miss Feng, are you missing me?" Dongfang Zhi's voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked in his direction.
They had all heard before that Dongfang Zhi would only appear when the entrance opened.
The trial ground would be open for a maximum of three years, usually once a year.
So Yun Feiyue, who had been here before, knew a bit about the trial ground.
Seeing Dongfang Zhi appear so early and looking so familiar with Feng Yuqin, his doubts deepened.
"Flirting with men everywhere. Such a promiscuous woman." Yun Ningshuang said in a sarcastic tone.
Slap...
Yun Ningshuang was directly knocked to the ground by this slap.
"If you don't want to enter the trial ground, just say so. I'll remove one quota right away." Dongfang Zhi said with a cold look in his eyes, staring at Yun Ningshuang as if she were a dead person.
No one had expected Dongfang Zhi to strike without hesitation.
"Ningshuang..." Yun Feiyue stepped forward to help Yun Ningshuang up.
Yun Ningshuang covered her swollen cheek, too afraid to show her anger.
After all, the person who slapped her was Dongfang Zhi.
"City Lord Dongfang, Ningshuang is young and doesn't know any better. Please don't take it to heart." Yun Feiyue was worried that he would be implicated by Yun Ningshuang and be denied entry to the trial ground.
Although he was the crown prince of the royal family, Yundian City was an independent force that didn't belong to any country or power.
The bottomless abyss within it was in Dongfang Zhi's hands.
So smart people wouldn't offend Dongfang Zhi.
Yun Ningshuang's words were originally aimed at Feng Yuqin.
But she didn't expect that Dongfang Zhi would strike so decisively for Feng Yuqin's sake.
"If you talk nonsense again next time, it won't be just a slap." Dongfang Zhi's voice carried a murderous aura, making Yun Ningshuang shiver involuntarily. She hated Feng Yuqin even more.
It was all because of that bitch Feng Yuqin. If it weren't for her, how could she have been slapped by Dongfang Zhi?
And there were so many people here. How could she hold her head up in the future?
Feng Yuqin gave Dongfang Zhi a cold look and said in a slightly cold voice, "I think the phrase 'talking nonsense' suits you better."
Hearing this, Dongfang Zhi looked at Feng Yuqin and grinned. It was a sharp contrast to his attitude towards Yun Ningshuang just now. "It's not nice of you to say that, Miss Feng. After all, we're friends."
"At most, we're allies." Feng Yuqin said as she took out a small porcelain bottle.
They had agreed before that whenever she upgraded, she would give them a batch of pills she refined after the upgrade.
Dongfang Zhi happily took it. "Whether we're allies or friends, we're still 'friends' after all."
"Now that you've got the pills, shouldn't you ask your people to take us to the trial ground as soon as possible? If you waste time, you'll bear the consequences." Feng Yuqin asked impatiently.
Seeing the interaction between the two, the others had different thoughts.
Yan Xiao, Meng Xingyu and the others had known about it for a long time, so they were used to it.
But the thoughts of Crown Prince Yun Feiyue, Yun Ningshuang and Feng Yao were not so pleasant.
They had heard that Dongfang Zhi was extremely hard to approach and was an impartial person.
But there were rumors that Dongfang Zhi was on good terms with Qin Yu of the Dark Night Pavilion, and now he seemed to favor Feng Yuqin.
Regarding the pill bottle Feng Yuqin had just given, they didn't think it was something agreed upon between Feng Yuqin and Dongfang Zhi before.
So they thought it was just a bottle of pills, and they didn't believe that just one bottle of pills could make Dongfang Zhi treat someone so well.
If Dongfang Zhi was really that easy to befriend, they would also like to give it a try.
"Do you think I'm stupid enough to do something that would prevent you from entering the trial ground?" Dongfang Zhi said. "If I really did that, you would cause trouble for me, and Ye, that wife - protecting madman, would also come after me."
"You're being too cruel. It makes us single people feel so bad." Meng Xingyu said with an attitude of refusing to be fed dog food.
"Similarly, since he's not here, you'd better not bring him up." Yan Xiao nodded and said.
He simply thought that Mo Xuanye was not good enough for his cousin.
If it had been before, he wouldn't have said anything.
But now, the talent his cousin had shown was simply monstrous.
Although his cousin seemed to be determined to be with Mo Xuanye before, he thought that since her marriage alliance had failed before, it was hard to say whether she would be with Mo Xuanye in the future.
"She belongs to Ye. You'd better not have any ideas." Dongfang Zhi looked at Yan Xiao with a hint of warning in his eyes.
He was completely protecting his good brother's wife.
After all, Dongfang Zhi knew about the relationship between cousins.
"City Lord Dongfang, she is our cousin and younger sister." Yan Xiao understood and immediately stood up and said.
He didn't want to affect his cousin's reputation. Otherwise, he, as her cousin, would be guilty.
"Yes, Aqin is our younger sister. City Lord Dongfang, please ask Elder Min to take us to the trial ground first." Yan Geng was speechless.
When did this city lord become so talkative?
The news they had heard before said that the city lord was cold - hearted and ignored people.
Why did he find that he was a chatterbox after contacting him?
"Look, everyone is protesting." Feng Yuqin said. "Although some people haven't said it directly, they must have cursed you countless times in their hearts."
"Who?" Dongfang Zhi scanned everyone present and asked. "Do you have any objections to me?"
Feng Yao and the others hated Feng Yuqin to the core and were very dissatisfied with Dongfang Zhi for protecting her.
But they couldn't show it, so they all shook their heads in unison.
"We believe that the city lord has his own arrangements." Yun Feiyue stood up and said.
"Alright, I won't waste your time. I'll take you a shortcut to the trial ground." Dongfang Zhi said.
Min Hanghai was a bit surprised when he heard this.
He didn't expect the city lord to be so generous this time.
Half an hour later, Feng Yuqin saw the medicinal fields on both sides of the path and asked in surprise, "Whose are these medicinal fields?"
"Of course they're mine. What? Are you interested in these medicinal herbs?" Dongfang Zhi walked beside Feng Yuqin and raised his eyebrows.
Feng Yuqin scanned some of the medicinal herbs and found that many of them were not in her collection. She couldn't help but nod and say, "I need some of these medicinal herbs."
Dongfang Zhi turned to Min Hanghai behind him and said, "Old Min, did you hear that? Later, send whatever Miss Feng needs to her."
A look of shock flashed across Min Hanghai's eyes.
No one knew better than they old guys how precious these medicinal herbs were to Dongfang Zhi.
Now he was just letting Feng Yuqin choose so easily?
