I am in the world of immortal cultivation, I am taming beasts and ascending

Chapter 51 Someone's Gift

"Miss, you are killing people! Haha!" Qiuyan really admired her courage and guts!
The two chatted and laughed, and after they finished washing up, Liuyun had a comfortable sleep, getting rid of the fatigue of the past few days. Bai Shi didn't care about her and let her sleep enough.

So when she got up, the sun was already high in the sky. Qiuyan and other little maids helped her to dress and wash. Liuyun lazily let them do whatever they wanted, but out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of an exquisite sword rack in front of the back window, with a sword lying on it. What caught her attention was the scabbard, which was so familiar!

The scaly scabbard seemed to tell of its tragic fate in life. Liuyun walked straight over, raised his hand to take down the sword, and it was cold to the touch. After some investigation, he found that the snake skin was forged with a special technique. Although it felt a lot rougher, it was also much harder. Holding it in the hand was like holding an unknown stone. Perhaps it would not be so rough after being held for a long time.

The sword was drawn out with a "swish", and a bright light flashed across the snow-white jade-like sword edge, dazzling Qiu Yan and the others so much that they could not help but blink and used their hands to block it.

Looking at the sword again, there are two words engraved on the bottom: "Arrogant"!
It was Jiang Mubai! He actually guessed who she was! That's right, the Cui family was famous because of her, so it's not difficult to guess with a little thinking.

"When was this sword delivered? Why didn't I see it yesterday?"

"It's been more than three months since it was delivered, young lady!" Qiuyan brought the morning meals to the table one by one, muttering, "Not only this, there are also three small armors with the same pattern!"

Qiuyan told a few little maids to continue serving the dishes, and she took out three small clothes from a box beside her and gave them to Liuyun.

"Miss was exhausted yesterday, and the sword rack is at the back, where the light is dim, so it's normal that you can't see it! These three small clothes were delivered together! And this letter!"

Qiuyan took out the envelope from under her coat and said with a smile, "That day a man came on a tall horse and said he was passing by and was asked to deliver these things to us. He wanted to find the person on this letter!"

Qiuyan pointed at the portrait on the envelope playfully and said jokingly, "It just so happened that I had just come back from shopping, and when I saw the painting on the letter, I bought them all. Miss, do you think they look alike?"

The watermarked paper used for the envelope was extremely expensive. All the lines on it could be seen clearly when held up to the light. In the lower left corner of the envelope, there was a painting of a woman waving her sword between the mountains. She had flowing hair and a nimble body. Especially the pendant around her neck, which was floating with her body. It was exactly her!
"No! Not at all!" He expressed his opinion dissatisfiedly, but his hands deftly opened the envelope. A unique scent of ink wafted to his face. It was the ink he used in the cave, there was no doubt about it!

The letter paper inside was from Chengxintang, which is very hard to come by. What's ridiculous is that he didn't write a single word, he just drew some pictures.

The first one shows her lying injured in the grotto.

The second photo shows her eating barbecue.

The third picture shows her learning to swim.

The fourth photo shows her being led.

The fifth picture shows her wrapped like a dumpling.

There are five paintings in total, without a single word on them. It is really unclear what Jiang Mubai means. Another thing is that Jiang Mubai already knows who she is, but she knows nothing about Jiang Mubai!
"Miss, let's eat first! It will get cold soon!" Qiu Yan urged.

"Hmm!" Liuyun picked up his favorite bean paste crisp and took a bite. Hmm, it tasted good, but not as good as what he had that day.
"Qiuyan, where's mom? She said she would come and have dinner with me this morning!"

"What time is it, young lady? Auntie has already eaten. Someone just came from the master's place and invited Auntie to go." Qiuyan brought all her favorite food to her. She glanced outside the door and whispered,
"In recent months, the master and the mistress have been too strict, and I can't get anything out of them! Cui Tai has been coming to our house frequently in recent months, and I always feel that something is wrong!"

"You are a careful person. How can a weasel have good intentions when it pays New Year's greetings to a chicken?"

Last year, she and Choi Tae had a fight, and the relationship between the two families can be said to have become strained, with the only thing left being a falling out.

But in general, they can still get along with each other. The Cui family needs to make some money from the Ye family from time to time, and the Ye family also needs the status of the Cui family to manage their business. Although the Cui family's reputation is not as good as before, it still has some capital!

Besides, there is the engagement between Ye Qingyin and Cui Yan, so it is impossible for the two families to completely fall out!

Ye Liuyun had taken all these into consideration, but it was impossible for the two families to return to their original state, so Cui Tai's frequent visits and Ye Feng's non-disgusted reaction made her know that something was going on.

"What are you going to do, miss?"

"Since we can't find out anything, let's just leave it alone!"

Minghui Hall

When Bai heard the visitor say that Ye Feng had invited her, she was not surprised at all, so she packed up a little and followed him. But when she arrived at the place, she was surprised, because Minghui Hall was a place for guests to discuss important matters, and people would not go there for general family matters.

A couple usually talks in the bedroom or in the study. I wonder why he comes here to discuss matters!
"Master!" Bai called softly, bowing slightly as a greeting.

"Yue'er, get up quickly! What are you doing?" Ye Feng hurried forward to support her, but saw that Bai was sitting down below, which made him feel quite embarrassed.

But who is Ye Feng? As someone who has experienced the ups and downs of the business world and climbed up from the bottom, what he is best at is observing people’s words and expressions.

"Qiuyue, I haven't seen you for a few months and you've become thinner!" He spoke earnestly and looked at her affectionately.

"Master, please talk about the matter! I still need to go see Yun'er! Ahem."

"Why are you coughing again? Didn't you take the medicine I sent you the day before yesterday?"

Ye Feng was filled with worry and looked at Bai with heartache. He couldn't help but hug her from behind.

"Master! This is Minghui Hall! A place for meetings, please respect yourself!" Bai wanted to break free, but she was so weak that she couldn't break free from Ye Feng's arms.

"Qiuyue, you have suffered a lot these years! For our Yuner, for our Ye family, and for our future!" Ye Feng hugged her tighter.

"I have never forgotten my oath. One day, when I, Ye Feng, look down upon the world, the one standing beside me must be you, Bai Qiuyue!"

"So. Ahem." Bai couldn't break free, so she gave up. Her voice was as cold as a snowman, and it seemed that when she opened her mouth, she could see the cold air.

"So I went from wife to concubine, and Yun'er went from being a legitimate daughter to a concubine's daughter. So we, mother and daughter, were locked up in Chaiyuan for nine years, but you didn't care about anything!"

"Yue'er! Why are you still bringing this up? They are just temporary solutions! Besides, aren't you all out now? I've sent you the best things in this mansion! Isn't this enough?"

Ye Feng felt somewhat displeased when he heard her bring up the old matter again. He let go of her, stood up and walked to the side, explaining with his back to her.

In terms of looks, Bai is impeccable; in terms of figure, Cui is no match; in terms of gentleness and character, Cui is no match. But there is one thing for sure: Cui is versatile, eloquent, and well-organized in dealing with people.

Unlike Bai, who is so gentle that water can be squeezed out of her, she is usually quiet and doesn't talk much. She treats her servants as they please, but she just can't talk. Her words, which are spoken gently, can sometimes be so chilling that they can kill people.
