The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Ji Fengyan looked at Su Lingsheng straight in the eyes. When she saw the burning hatred in Su Lingsheng’s eyes, she smiled nonchalantly and did not respond.

Su Lingsheng secretly took a deep breath in so that she could suppress the hatred she felt for Ji Fengyan. While maintaining a graceful look on her face, she lifted her chin slightly and took a quick glance at Ji Fengyan. When she saw the basket in front of Ji Fengyan that was covered with a black cloth, her lips curled into a smile.

“Ji Fengyan, I did not think that you would also be here? Why? Are you here to broaden your horizon?” Su Lingsheng’s tone was filled with sarcasm.

“Why aren’t you not speaking? True… how could an evil person who had robbed someone of their money and their lives have the audacity to speak?” Su Lingsheng scoffed.

The commoners standing around all took a deep breath in as they silently watched.

Su Lingsheng had a special identity. Even though Lei Xu was gone, she still had a strong backing supporting her—the eldest princess!

“Robbed someone of their money and lives?” Ji Fengyan’s smiled as she looked at Su Lingsheng’s eyes and said, “Miss Su is really interesting. As Ji City’s City Lord, what offence did I commit in punishing a criminal?”

“Whether it’s right or wrong, isn’t it all up to you? Now that Uncle Lei has died, you can say anything you want, but… don’t be too complacent. Even though you are Ji City’s City Lord, you are not someone who has power over everything. I will definitely not let you harm Lei Min in any way,” Su Lingsheng said coldly.

Ji Fengyan raised her brows slightly and looked at Su Lingsheng, who was filled with enmity, with a faint smile on her face.

How could she forget to take care of Lei Min, this brat?

Her gaze naturally landed on Lei Min, who was standing behind Su Lingsheng. He had already changed out of his usual elegant outfit and was wearing a light golden armour. He looked at Ji Fengyan emotionlessly and calmly, as if he had nothing to do with her.

Ji Fengyan kept her gaze and could not be bothered about these two fellows.

Su Lingsheng squinted her eyes and wanted to say something, but her wrist was pulled back by Lei Min.

“Lingsheng, let’s not waste our saliva on this person. We should complete the task that the eldest princess has assigned first,” Lei Min said with a serious face, whereas Su Lingsheng’s expression was indignant.

“Min… you don’t have to swallow up all this humiliation.”

But Lei Min sighed softly and shook his head. His good-looking face had a look of misery and helplessness.

That expression made Su Lingsheng feel pained for him.

“Ji Fengyan, it’s not over between us. You just wait and see!” Su Lingsheng stared at Ji Fengyan fiercely as she said.

“Oh,” Ji Fengyan responded in a perfunctory manner.

“You!” Su Lingsheng was bristling with anger but was suddenly pulled away by Lei Min.

Lei Min stood in front of Su Lingsheng with his brows frowning and he said to Ji Fengyan, “Ji Fengyan, there is no longer any relationship between us. I do not want to be entwined with you over my father’s death, but everything had nothing to do with Lingsheng. She is someone serving the eldest princess, so you should also know your limits and not pick on her.”

Ji Fengyan looked at Lei Min and she felt that he was too ridiculous.

This pair must have a delusion that someone is also harming them, right?

She did not say anything. These two people had put up a pitiful act in front of her. Others who did not understand the situation must have thought that she had done something to them.

But Lei Min had indeed become smarter.

Seeing that Ji Fengyan did not respond, Lei Min said, “From today onwards, we shall break all ties. The engagement between us is no longer valid. In the future, you and I shall walk on our separate ways and I hope that you do not disturb Lingsheng and I.”
