Everyone has their own taboos, their own reverse scales.
Since childhood, this illness has been a thorn in Zhang Ziling’s heart. She dislikes people treating her as a patient, even more so having a crowd of people around her trying to diagnose her.
Even if she were to die tomorrow, she doesn’t want to be pitied by these people, treating her like so kind of spectacle.
She and Li Jinxuan returned to the palace, smashing all the vases and books in the study to the ground, then lay on the table and wept grievously, "I even considered him a friend, yet he’s just like the rest. I’m not sick, I don’t need his pity!"
Li Jinxuan stood by her side, cautiously comforting her, "Princess, perhaps he truly has so solution?"
The Seventh Princess spoke with lancholy, "My father holds power over all under heaven. He has sought every renowned doctor and spiritual dicine, all to no avail. How could a small disciple be more capable than my father? This guy, he’s full of sches. He’s rely taking advantage of my goodwill to climb up."
Li Jinxuan consoled her, "I feel this Young Master Jiang seems different from others. The way he looks at you is genuine."
The Seventh Princess tilted her head, staring at her, "Why are you suddenly speaking for him? Have you taken a liking to him?"
Li Jinxuan blushed, awkwardly replied, "Princess, how can you randomly say such things? It’s just that I recently received so news from my father, so my perspective on him has slightly changed."
"Your father?"
The Seventh Princess beca curious, "What did General Li say?"
Li Jinxuan said, "This ti my father led the army to inspect various cities and there were so issues when they reached Celestial Mystery City. At that ti, the City Lord single-handedly resisted the great army, while others stood by, avoiding danger from afar. Only this Young Master Jiang stepped forth to stand by the City Lord against our army. Later, my father took a liking to him, sparing both him and the City Lord without making things difficult for them. I think he is quite chivalrous."
"Is that so?"
The Seventh Princess listened with surprise, becoming increasingly curious about Long Fei, and leaned on the table to contemplate deeply.
She had caused quite a scene at Long Fei’s place, turning the entire courtyard into ruins.
Long Fei instructed Sunx Lang to find soone to clean up the courtyard.
The Seventh Princess’s Apricot Yellow Banner is formidable, capable of directly stirring the underground earth energy and is an Immortal King Level Magical Treasure.
Long Fei’s setup of minor restrictions seed like paper in front of this Magical Treasure.
Her current aversion to dical treatnt made Long Fei temporarily avoid provoking her, rely handing the prescription to the Deacon Hall to be submitted.
As long as his prescription is approved above, his task would be halfway completed.
The senior sister from the Deacon Hall, Jiang Yueran, ntioned that most submissions get imdiately rejected, marking it as a task failure.
As night approached, Long Fei went to the Deacon Hall.
Jiang Yueran ntioned having sothing to discuss with him, and now was just after work.
Long Fei waited outside for her to co out, and they sat together in a pavilion.
Jiang Yueran handed him a letter, telling him, "The Jiang Family above has issued a decree, allowing you to return to the Ancestral Court to acknowledge your ancestors when you have ti. I happen to be free now, so I can take you back."
Long Fei opened the letter for a glance and then looked at her, dropping his face, "Does the letter say to worship under the Clan Leader’s tutelage?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Yueran shrugged, telling him, "The Clan Leader is my father, the current manager of the Jiang Family. Worship under his na, and you will beco a direct lineage disciple of the Jiang Family. After graduating from here, you will have the opportunity to manage the entire Jiang Family’s businesses. Isn’t that good?"
Long Fei closed the letter, calmly replied, "A true man stands tall and proud, why must he rely on this title to act? Moreover, making betray my own parents in exchange for wealth and glory, do you think I would do that?"
Jiang Yueran persuaded, "How can you call it betraying parents? It should be glorifying the ancestors. If you do so, not only will your parents not bla you, but they will greatly benefit, and even the Jiang family in your Celestial Mystery City will prosper as a result. Think it over carefully, don’t make a hasty decision."
Long Fei stared at her, seriously saying, "If it truly benefited my parents, why does the letter not ntion a word about them? As far as I know, they were punished by the family and are still working as laborers in the quarry, right? If the Jiang Family were truly sincere, they should have released them first before even talking to ."
He had no feelings for Jiang Hengyuan’s parents since he had killed their son, already forming a murderous vendetta.
It’s just that the Jiang Family’s tone in the letter was too forceful, making him very uncomfortable.
If he easily agreed, in the Jiang Family, he wouldn’t gain any benefits, instead, they would control him.
His refusal now was telling the Jiang Family that he wasn’t spineless, and a little sweetness wouldn’t make him yield.
Jiang Yueran perceived this as a great opportunity, and Long Fei’s refusal and deanor made her feel unworthy of the feelings she had towards him these past days.
He had made a na for himself in Heaven-Piercing Palace, and Jiang Yueran undoubtedly rejoiced for him, thinking the Jiang Family had a genius to rely on in the future.
Now, this genius dared to refuse her?
She stood up, unhappily speaking to Long Fei, "Opportunities only co once. Think it over carefully before getting back to ."
Long Fei burned the letter on the spot, got up, and said, "Senior Sister Jiang, I thank you for your help before. But if you think you can control my life because of it, let remind you, that’s daydreaming!"
Jiang Yueran puffed with anger, "Jiang Hengyuan, don’t forget. You’ve already thoroughly offended the Xiao Family, and without the Jiang Family stepping in to help, you would have been killed by the Xiao Family long ago."
"Is that so?"
Long Fei raised his brows, disdainfully laughed, "Then please tell the Jiang Family through you, those old n don’t help at all. If the Xiao Family doesn’t seek revenge, my body still feels unwell. It’s been days since I last killed soone, my hands are itching!"
"Insolent!"
Jiang Yueran, from childhood until now, which Jiang family disciple has ever spoken to her like this?
She slamd her hand on the stone table, shattering the marble surface around a ter in diater.
She couldn’t understand, she considered so much for Long Fei, yet he refused her that way.
"Are you also turning against ?"
Long Fei stared at her with furrowed brows, wondering if all the girls today took so gunpowder.
Jiang Yueran lectured him, "The relationship with the family is mutually beneficial, the family’s success is your success; the family’s prosperity is your prosperity. If you don’t know what’s good for you and insist on fighting against the family, there won’t be good outcos in the future."
Long Fei shrugged indifferently, "Miss Jiang, I’ve thanked you for your kindness. Ti will prove how ridiculous your statent is. In my eyes, the Jiang Family is nothing. If I want to make my mark, neither the Jiang Family, Xiao Family, nor even the entire Celestial Realms City can suppress . This conversation ends here. In the future, you’re welco to find for drinks and chats, but if you talk to about this again, don’t bla for ending our friendship."
With that, he turned and left, showing no face to Jiang Yueran.
"You bastard!"
Jiang Yueran shouted angrily behind, when has she been so fiercely spoken to by a man.
Since childhood, which genius of the Nine Clans has not been polite to her upon seeing her?
She was about to leave angrily when a group of young people gathered around.
The leader glanced at Long Fei, sowhat feeling indignant for Jiang Yueran, "Yueran, what happened? Did that guy bully you?"
