Chapter 749 - 749 He's Here (2)
749 He’s Here (2)
A disciple led them to a quiet courtyard.
Yu Wan ordered a few side dishes and began to think about how to escape while waiting for them. The Feiyu Manor was so big that there were at least eight hundred disciples. What status did Jiang Hai have here? How many people knew him?
“Madam, your dinner is ready.” A maidservant’s voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Yu Wan’s eyes lit up and she said, “Come in.”
“Yes.” The maidservant entered with the food box.
Yu Wan looked at her and said, “You know Nanzhao?”
Nanzhao Chinese was similar to Central Plains Chinese, but there was a slight difference in accent, and this maidservant clearly had a Nanzhao accent.
The maidservant said, “My mother is from Nanzhao.”
“Where am I?”
“Feiyu Manor,” the maidservant said.
Yu Wan wanted to ask, “I’m asking which country this belongs to.” After thinking for a while, her words were too suspicious. Hence, her eyes turned and she looked at the dishes carried out by the maidservant. “I only want three dishes. Why did you bring so many?”
The maidservant said, “Oh, today is the villa’s big day. These dishes are for guests! Not only did Madam have this, but others have it too!”
“You have a lot of guests here?” Yu Wan asked.
The maidservant nodded. “That’s right. We’re the only villa in a hundred miles. All the merchants who pass by will stay in our villa. The villa master is a hospitable person. He will warmly receive those who aren’t thieves.”
“I see.” She still didn’t say which country it was. How far was it to reach the Ghost Clan? Yu Wan’s eyes flashed. “By the way, you said that there’s a joyous matter in the villa just now. What’s the joyous matter?”
“Young Master is back!” The maidservant said in high spirits.
Young Master?
Yu Wan was not interested in the young master of the Feiyu Manor. She only wanted to know where Jiang Hai was. “By the way, I accidentally bumped into your disciple just now. His name is Jiang Hai. Apologize to him for me.”
“Jiang Hai?” The maidservant scratched her head. “Does our villa have such a disciple? Did you hear wrongly, Madam? I know Jiang Yang, Jiang Bin, but I’ve never heard of Jiang Hai!”
Either this maidservant didn’t know Jiang Hai, or… Jiang Hai was an alias. Unfortunately, her painting skills were not very good. Otherwise, she could draw a portrait of Jiang Hai. While she was thinking, another maidservant called out from outside.
The maidservant said, “They called me! Young Master wants to pass through here! I’ll go take a look!”
“Can I go with you?” She had to blend into the crowd first. Who knew if she could find out anything?
“Okay.” The maidservant enthusiastically brought Yu Wan along.
“Where are we going?” The black-robed man asked.
Yu Wan said indifferently, “To see a handsome man. Why? Can’t I?”
The black-robed man’s face darkened. “Indecent!”
Yu Wan rolled her eyes.
“I’ll take good care of Madam,” the maidservant said with a smile.
The Feiyu Manor was heavily guarded. The black-robed man was not worried that she would escape and let her do whatever she wanted. There were really a lot of people who came to visit the Young Master. Both sides of the path were blocked.
“Aiya, we’re late!” The maidservant couldn’t squeeze in and stood on her tiptoes to say vexedly.
Yu Wan was taller than her. She stood on her tiptoes and saw the young man riding on a horse.
Jiang Hai? Her pupils constricted!
Jiang Hai was still the same Jiang Hai, but he was no longer as dejected as she remembered. He sat on the horse in high spirits. His facial features were firm and handsome.
“Jiang Hai! Here!” Yu Wan called out to him.
“Young Master! Here!”
“It’s really the Young Master!”
“Young Master, I’m Cai Yu!”
“I’m Cai Yan!”
Yu Wan’s voice was instantly covered by this group of crazy female disciples.
Yu Wan’s face darkened. “Seniors, can’t you be a little more reserved?”
The female disciple who had shouted “I’m Cai Yu” just now turned around and snorted. “Is your voice lower than ours?”
Yu Wan : “…”
The maidservant pulled Yu Wan to the side and reminded her softly, “Don’t offend them. They’re direct disciples and have a very high status in the Feiyu Manor.”
Yu Wan said expressionlessly, “How high is it? Is it higher than your Young Master?” Do you know that your Young Master has sold himself to me?
The maidservant was amused by Yu Wan’s reaction. When outsiders heard that they’re the direct disciples of the Feiyu Manor, they were all envious. But this madam seemed to want to roll her eyes. She smiled and said, “Alright, Young Master has gone far. Let’s go back.”
“How can I see your Young Master?” Yu Wan asked.
The maidservant was still immersed in the pink bubble brought by the Young Master and did not notice how strange it was for an unfamiliar woman to ask such a question. She replied seriously, “You can’t see him, right? Neither Senior Sister Cai Yu nor Senior Sister Cai Yan can see him.”
Yu Wan asked in confusion, “Didn’t you say just now that they’re direct disciples with very high status? Why can’t they even see the Young Master?”
“Hmm…” The maidservant thought for a while.” Young Master is very cold. He doesn’t like to see people. He doesn’t like to be disturbed.”
He didn’t like to see people? He didn’t like to be disturbed? Yu Wan thought of Jiang Hai, who was always fighting with Qing Yan in Xixia Garden, and looked at the sky suspiciously. Are we really acquainted with the same young master?
After returning to her room, Yu Wan closed the door. The dishes had already turned cold. Asura did not steal any and obediently waited for her. Yu Wan asked the maidservant to heat up the dishes. Asura started gulping down the dishes.
Yu Wan was still immersed in the huge shock of Jiang Hai being the young master of the Feiyu Manor.
She knew that Jiang Hai was not an ordinary person and had a powerful background, but she did not expect him to have such a powerful background. To be able to own such a huge villa in such a place, the wealth and strength hidden in the dark were definitely not something that ordinary people could imagine.
Yu Wan touched her chin. “This kind of young master actually went to the Great Zhou to be a servant.”
Rich young masters were really willful!
At night, everyone rested. Yu Wan lay on the bed and tossed and turned. Asura meditated on the floor.
Yu Wan called him softly, “Asura ~”
Asura opened his blood-red eyes. Yu Wan waved at him. He came to the bed and looked at Yu Wan curiously.
Yu Wan asked, “Can your qinggong still be used?”
Asura nodded. The shackles he had on only suppressed his strength. He could use it, but not much.
Yu Wan whispered, “Let’s go look for Jiang Hai.”
Asura tilted his head and looked at her in confusion. Yu Wan understood and pointed at the ground with her index finger. “Jiang Hai isn’t in Nanzhao. He’s in the villa. Let’s go find him now.”
Asura nodded.
“Wait.” Yu Wan pressed him down, lifted the blanket, and got off the bed. She found the cloth to wrap around the shackles of Asura to prevent them from making a sound when they collided.
Yu Wan opened the door and stuck her head out. She looked around and after confirming that no one was around, she crossed the threshold and waved at Asura. Asura came to the door. He lowered his body and stuck his head out. He looked around before walking out of the room.
“Where are you going?” As soon as the two of them walked down the steps, the black-robed man appeared behind them.
Yu Wan’s little body trembled. She composed herself and turned around expressionlessly. “I can’t sleep. I’m going out for a walk.”
The black-robed man glanced at Asura’s feet and smiled sarcastically. “It’s so late. Don’t tell me you want to escape?”
Yu Wan smiled and said, “Can I escape? I can’t even use Asura’s qinggong!”
The black-robed man said in satisfaction, “It’s good that you understand! His cultivation has been suppressed. He won’t be able to bring you far.”
“Of course!” Yu Wan tugged at Asura’s sleeve. “Asura, let’s go!”
The black-robed man gave the two black envoys a look, and the two of them understood and followed. Yu Wan glanced at the two of them from the corner of her eye and followed. Anyway, they could not guess that she and Asura were looking for Jiang Hai!
