Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

The red gate of Feng Mansion was tightly closed, and the stone lions in front of the gate squatted majestically.

Feng Qingyue raised her hand and knocked on the door, and the crisp sound echoed in the silent air.

After a while, the door creaked open, revealing the maid Lan Yue's face full of surprise.

"Miss, you are finally back. Lan Yue was worried to death!" Lan Yue said, her eyes wandering around Ling Yuxiao.

Her eyes were filled with confusion. Isn't this the young man from Frost Moon City?

Feng Qingyue and Ling Yuxiao walked into the mansion together. The courtyard was filled with the fragrance of flowers and shaded by green trees, and the scenery was pleasant.

The two talked eagerly as they walked, smiles on their faces from time to time, discussing today's gains and their future plans.

They sometimes stopped and sometimes gestured, immersed in the communication.

This scene happened to be seen by Jun Lingyuan who came out of the house to get some fresh air.

He was dressed in a black robe, with an upright posture and a cold temperament.

The eyes that were usually calm suddenly surged with undercurrents, as if a huge rock had been thrown into a tranquil lake.

---

In an instant, Jun Lingyuan felt a nameless anger rising from the bottom of his heart.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind: "Why did he come back with us? And they were chatting so happily? Where did they go? What did they do?"

The more he thought about it, the more sour he felt. Jealousy was like a surging tide, drowning him completely.

---

Jun Lingyuan just stood there stiffly, as if the air around him was frozen.

He stared at the two men intently, trying his best to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, but he couldn't help but radiate coldness from his whole body.

Feng Qingyue looked up and saw Jun Lingyuan. Her eyes lit up and she was about to say hello but was startled by his ugly expression.

She frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Yuan, what's wrong with you? You don't look well."

Ling Yuxiao also noticed that the atmosphere was not right. He nodded slightly and politely bowed to Jun Lingyuan: "Mr. Jun, how are you?"

Jun Lingyuan seemed to have not heard Ling Yuxiao's greeting. He just stared at Feng Qingyue, his tone so cold that it seemed to freeze ice: "Where have you been? Why are you back with him?"

Feng Qingyue hadn't expected Jun Lingyuan to question her like that, and she felt a little unhappy, but she still patiently explained, "I ran into Master Ling on the street, saw Zhao Heng, and followed him to find out some things. I'll tell you in detail later."

However, Jun Lingyuan was obviously not satisfied with this answer. His eyes were still frighteningly cold, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward and depressing.

Feng Qingyue instructed Lanyue, "Lanyue, go prepare a clean and comfortable guest room for Master Ling and treat him well."

---

After saying that, she walked straight towards the hall, her skirt swaying gently with her steps.

When Jun Lingyuan saw Feng Qingyue bringing Ling Yuxiao into the mansion and arranging accommodation for him, his dissatisfaction grew stronger.

He stared at Ling Yuxiao with a sharp gaze and asked in a harsh tone, "What are you doing here? This is Feng Mansion, not your villa."

Ling Yuxiao, however, looked calm. He bowed calmly, a gentle smile on his face as he said, "Master Jun, please don't misunderstand me. Miss Feng and I have known each other for a long time. Now, as a friend, if I see that she is in trouble, I will definitely lend a hand and help her find the truth. Moreover, we are investigating a case together today, and there are some important clues that need to be further explored. Miss Feng also agreed that I can stay here temporarily to facilitate subsequent actions."

Jun Lingyuan snorted coldly, thinking to himself: "Really?"

He was about to retort when he saw Feng Qingyue had already walked to the entrance of the hall. She turned back and urged, "What are you two still doing standing there? Come in quickly. Time is running out. We need to discuss our next plan."

Although Jun Lingyuan was very reluctant, he could only swallow his anger temporarily and walked into the hall with Ling Yuxiao.

---

The hall was brightly lit and the mahogany tables and chairs were neatly arranged.

Feng Qingyue sat in the main seat and motioned for the two to sit down.

After the three of them sat down, Feng Qingyue recounted in detail what she had seen and heard in the gambling house and the secret base today.

Ling Yuxiao added: "From what they said, it seems they are preparing a batch of important goods that will be delivered in three days. We can find a way to intercept them."

As Jun Lingyuan listened to the two people's stories, his vigilance was slightly lowered and his attention gradually shifted to the case itself.

But when he thought about Feng Qingyue asking Ling Yuxiao to live in the mansion, he felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

He secretly made up his mind to stay close to Feng Qingyue in the next few days and never let Ling Yuxiao take advantage of her.

---

In the hall, the flickering candlelight illuminated the different expressions of the three people.

Feng Qingyue was intently analyzing today's clues, her fingertips tapping lightly on the table. Her voice was cold and steady, "The people behind Zhao Heng are acting cautiously, but since they mentioned shipping the goods in three days, we have a chance to intercept evidence."

Ling Yuxiao nodded slightly, a look of appreciation on his gentle face. "Miss Feng is absolutely right. I have just sent someone to secretly monitor the movements of that group of people. If there is any unusual movement, a message will be sent immediately."

Jun Lingyuan sat aside, staring at Ling Yuxiao with a serious look, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of the teacup with such force that it almost crushed the wall of the cup.

The young master of the number one villa in the world?

Haha, he will choose the right time to appear.

He suddenly sneered, interrupting their conversation: "It seems that the young master of our world's number one villa is planning to spread his fame to Lan Country?"

Feng Qingyue was startled and looked up at Jun Lingyuan, but saw that his eyes were deep. Although there was a smile on the corner of his lips, there was a coldness in his eyes.

Ling Yuxiao's expression remained unchanged, as he remained gentle and polite. "Pavilion Master, you are worrying too much. The number one villa in the world will always be in Beiming. I was just passing through Lan Country and happened to encounter this incident."

"Passing by?" Jun Lingyuan sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm. "Mr. Ling's timing of passing by is quite coincidental."

He slowly stood up, his dark robe drooping, his aura shimmering with awe. "You were in Beixiu before, and now you're in Lan Country?"

---

Feng Qingyue frowned slightly: "Yuan, what do you mean by this?"

Jun Lingyuan didn't answer, but just stared at Ling Yuxiao, and said word by word: "If it weren't for Qianyi, Qingcheng and others would not remember her presence..."

He leaned forward slightly, his voice lowered to a dangerous level, "I'm beginning to suspect that Master Ling is pretending."

Ling Yuxiao's eyes flickered slightly, but soon returned to normal.

He gently put down the teacup, raised his eyes and looked at Jun Lingyuan, with that gentle smile on his lips still hanging: "Pavilion Master, you are joking. Miss Feng said before that we met in Beiming, but I really don't remember this. Now that we meet, and seeing that she is in danger, I will help her. If you think it is inappropriate..."
