Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Today, Fan Qingyin wore a sea-blue robe, the straight-cut robe reaching his ankles revealing snow-white boots, making his figure appear even more slender. Fan Qingyin had a graceful physique; although thin, he was very well-proportioned, and the robe symbolizing his divine status only accentuated his aloof and handsome appearance.

Judging from the color of the robe and the wave pattern embroidered on it, it is clear that Fan Qingyin put a lot of effort into this banquet, trying her best to fit in with the identity of the Ocean Empire and to integrate herself as the male host.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but gaze at her for a while longer; she was truly a beauty beyond compare. Then her gaze fell upon a man not far from Fan Qingyin. The man was no longer young; even though he was dressed exceptionally formally and neatly for the banquet, his weathered face and strong limbs revealed that he had spent many years battling the elements. That was Lady Vanessa's husband, Wilman, and Lanny's father.

"I've heard your husband is the best pearl diver in the county; he must have been incredibly brave in his youth." Lady Vanessa seemed a little embarrassed upon hearing Jiang Yu's words, and unconsciously touched the shimmering, transparent coral on her hat. Following Jiang Yu's gaze, she saw her husband's figure, no longer young but still robust, and her gaze softened. Then, seeing the kind look in Jiang Yu's eyes, she guessed somewhat of the lord's meaning.

"Lani is no less impressive than his father was in his youth. Although the family has added many tests and rules for the safety of its members in recent years, this child has seen real storms. His father has been training him since he was a child, and as he grew older, he often took him to dangerous seas. So this child has loved adventure since he was a child. Fortunately, his talent and ability have helped him overcome dangers and difficulties time and time again." Lady Vanessa spoke of her child with great pride. Although she wanted to help her son in front of the lord, after all, she understood her son's wishes very well, but this pride came from the bottom of her heart.

“I’ve met your son once, and his character and conduct are no less impressive than Cai Zhu’s.” Jiang Yu smiled slightly, as if recalling something. “Such talent would not be considered mediocre even among the sons of the royal family.”

"Your Excellency is too kind to her." Lady Vanessa smiled sincerely, then said very seriously, "If Your Excellency has anything you need to entrust to her, please feel free to do so. Our Wilman family has always been united. I dare not say that we can do anything else, but when it comes to pearl harvesting, we can still have a say in the county."

Jiang Yu was finally satisfied with the answer she wanted. Talking to smart people is so effortless. It seems that the Wilman family's high reputation in the county is not only due to their extraordinary pearl-diving skills, but also closely related to the seemingly unremarkable Lady Vanessa in front of her. She had been wondering where Lanny inherited his excellent ability to read people, but now that they met, it was self-evident.

Jiang Yu downed his fruit wine in one gulp, turned around and smiled at Mrs. Vanessa, saying, "Look how careless I was. You weren't wearing a shawl, and we've been standing on this terrace chatting in the breeze for so long. The sea breeze is still quite chilly at night. Let's go inside quickly. I should also call the ladies' husbands in to have dinner together."

“We who grew up by the sea are used to the sea breeze. But the lord has delicate skin, so he must be feeling cold. It is my honor to talk to the lord. I am in for a treat, as I will be able to enjoy the lord’s delicacies again.”

"Then please sit next to me during the meal, Madam. There are some things I would like to ask you." Jiang Yu firmly believed in the principle of trusting those you employ and not employing those you don't trust. Madam Vanessa's attitude was already very clear. Lanny and even the entire Wilman family were willing to work for her. Therefore, this reform in pearl harvesting would have to start with the Wilman family and take advantage of their influence.
