Chapter Seventy-Three Reunion

  Feng Xian arranged Bai Cangdong in the Fengyun Bieyuan, which is the same as the Honghua Bieyuan of the Hua family. This is where the guests of the Feng family live.

  However, due to Feng Xian's defeat, the Wind Army is about to change hands, and the status of the Feng family in Fenghuacheng has plummeted. Many guests have already left, and there are less than ten guests remaining in the Fengyun Villa.

  Bai Cang had just arrived at Fengyun Bieyuan for a short while when a team of cavalry surrounded the place.

  "Viscount Mask, you really have a big nerve, running back here again. Do you think the people of Feng Hua City are all fools?" Huā Míng Yáng led the Knights' team to surround the room where Bái Cāng Dōng lived with an air of superiority.

  "Are you talking to me?" Bai Cangdong looked at Hua Mingyang calmly, but his heart was filled with doubts, wondering how Hua Mingyang knew he was here.

  "Less garlic, behave and surrender, come back to the Earl's mansion with me." Hua Mingyang ordered the knights beside him, about to take down Bai Cangdong.

  "Halt! Who gave you the guts to cause trouble and arrest people in my Wind Manor's backyard?" Knowing that something had happened at the Wind Cloud Villa, Feng Xian hurried over.

  Huā's name spread, disdainfully curling her lip: "The Wind Family is no longer the Wind Family of old, and you, Fēng Xiān, are no longer the Fēng Xiān of old. Don't be arrogant in front of me, hiding a wanted criminal from the Duke. I think you should think about how to explain yourself to the Duke."

  "What a coincidence, the wanted criminal, Huā Míng Yáng, you dare to insult me here. Do you really think I, Fēng Xiān, am easy to bully?" Feng Xian summoned her armed guard, pointing her long sword at Hua Ming Yang and said.

  Huā's name spread and she slightly shrank back, after all, she had suffered a lot at the hands of Feng Xian in the past, this was a natural reaction.

  "Hmph, this time you can't talk your way out of it, Xu Fu. Come out and tell Feng Xian if the person she saw is indeed him?" Hua Mingyang called someone in, surprisingly, it was Feng Xian's butler.

  "Yes, it's him." Xufu didn't dare to look at Fengxian, but pointed at Bai Cangdong and said: "This viscount had just joined the Feng family when he was summoned by the eldest miss to the garden for a long private conversation."

  "Xu Fu!" Feng Xian's face turned iron-green, she never thought that even the steward who had been in the Feng family for decades and had watched her grow up since childhood would betray her.

  "Sorry, young lady, I have no choice. My two sons are both in the Knights' Order, and now the Knights' Order is controlled by the Flower Knight, I cannot ruin their future." Permitted by Feng Xian's rebuke, Xu Fu shrank back slightly.

  Huā míng yáng què bù yǐ wéi yì: "Fēng xiān, nǐ xiàn zài hái yǒu shén me hǎo shuō?"

  Translation:

  Hua Mingyang didn't think much of it and said, "Feng Xian, what else do you have to say now?"

  Feng Xian was after all Feng Xian, and quickly regained her composure. She looked at Hua Mingyang with a cold smile and said: "Just based on these, you say my people are fake viscounts."

  "What a coincidence, the Masked Viscount has just escaped from Fenghua City, and you, the Wind Family, have recruited a mysterious viscount with unknown origins. This viscount even received a secret meeting with your eldest sister, Wind Big Sister, who claims he is not the Masked Viscount. Does your Wind Big Sister think we are all fools?"

  "If I, Feng, recruit a viscount who is actually a fake viscount, then you, the Hua family, have recruited countless viscounts in these two days. Can't I also suspect that they are all fake viscounts? Can't I go to your Hua family's Honghua Villa to capture people?"

  "It's no use saying anything now, Young Master Yan will be here soon, and then we'll see what you have to say."

  Feng Xian was shocked in her heart, but it was just Huameng Yang's words, and it was impossible for him to take Bai Cangdong away from under her eyelids. However, if Yan Mengyun came, let alone if Bai Cangdong was a fake viscount, even if he wasn't, Yan Mengyun would still be able to take him away.

  "Feng Xian, you'd better think carefully about how you'll explain this to Young Master Yan later." Hua Mingyang felt a sense of schadenfreude rising up in his heart. When had it ever happened before that Feng Xian, who was always so high and mighty like an immortal fairy, would have a day like today?

  "It's not at all, why bother explaining." Although Feng Xian said this with her mouth, she was very worried in her heart and glanced at Bai Cangdong, hinting that he should escape quickly.

  "Master Yan, you've arrived. I've already captured the Masked Viscount, but Feng Xian is blocking me and won't let me take him away. So I had to ask Master Yan to come and make a decision personally." Hua Mingyang said with a flattering expression to Yan Mengyun.

  "Which one is Viscount Mask?"

  Yan Mengyun's face was somewhat off, but Hua Mingyang didn't notice. He excitedly pointed at Bai Cangdong and said: "It's that person, with a pointed mouth and a monkey-like face, he must be the Viscount of Masks without a doubt..."

  Bang!

  Yan Mengyun slapped a palm on Hua Mingyang's face, directly stunning him there, covering his face and looking at Yan Mengyun in confusion: "Young Master... what are you doing..."

  "He's not Viscount Mask." Yan Mengyun calmed down, earlier when she saw Bai Cangdong, she was already excited and couldn't control herself, and then heard Hua Mingyang scolding Bai Cangdong like that, the anger in her heart suddenly surged to her head, and without thinking, she slapped Hua Mingyang.

  "Young master, he really is..." Hua Mingyang was indeed not a clever person. If he were clever, the Hua family would be controlled by him instead of Hua Qianwu.

  "I said, he's not the Masked Viscount. Anyone can be the Masked Viscount, but only he cannot be the Masked Viscount." Yan Mengyun took a deep breath and slowly walked in front of Bai Cangdong, saying softly: "Long time no see, come to my place for a sit?"

  "Good." Bai Cangdong nodded slightly.

  Hua Mingyang looked at Bai Cangdong getting on Yan Mengyun's carriage with an unbelievable expression, silently cursing in his heart: "Damn it, really unlucky. Thought it was a great achievement, but who knew it would end up like this."

  "Just thinking about the mastermind behind this, Hua Mingyang became even more furious: 'Good, good, good, Xu Fu, you've done a great job. I really underestimated you and the Feng family. You're truly clever and resourceful. This time, I, Hua Mingyang, have lost with a clear conscience. We'll see what happens in the future.'"

  Yan Du glared at Xu Fu with a venomous gaze, and Hua Mingyang turned to leave with a flick of her sleeve, thinking that Xu Fu's surrender was a ploy by the Feng family, believing that Feng Xian and Xu Fu had deliberately set him up.

  "Hua Shao... it's not like that..." Xu Fu wanted to explain, but on the other side, Hua Mingyang didn't even bother with him and led the Knights away with a whoosh.

  "Big sister..." Xu Fu turned his head around, looking at Feng Xian with a bitter expression.

  "Leave, from now on, you and the Feng family have nothing to do with each other." Feng Xian lazily tidied up Xu Fu's clothes. Even if she let Xu Fu off, his days would definitely not be easy, and he and his family might find it difficult to stand in Feng Hua City again.

  Bai Cangdong and Yan Mengyun gazed at each other silently, Yan Mengyun forcing herself to control her emotions and not rush into Bai Cangdong's arms in tears.

  "I heard people say you went to Gu Tian Ya to hunt the Goddess Archer, they all said you were dead. When Miss Xiang Fei came, I even asked her and she also said you might be dead already." Yan Meng Yun's heart was extremely agitated, with tears welling up in her eyes, as if they would fall at any moment.

  "I killed the Goddess Archer, got promoted to Viscount, but I was heavily injured and have been recovering ever since. I just arrived in Fenghuacheng recently. How are you doing? I heard you've become the successor of Fenghuacheng, congratulations." Bai Cangdong could see that Yan Mengyun seemed to be trying hard to restrain something.

  "If I had a choice, I would rather be just an ordinary martial artist of the Knife Ridge Sect." Yan Mengyun's expression turned gloomy, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Bai Canghai: "You shouldn't have come, go back to Knife Ridge City."

  "Why?" asked Bai Cangdong calmly.

  "It's not worth it for me." Yan Mengyun said faintly.

  "I think it's worth it if it's worth it." Bai Cangdong grabbed Yan Mengyun's hand and pulled her into his arms, hugging her slender waist.

  Yan Mengyun could no longer hold back, and buried herself in Bai Canghai's arms, embracing him as she sobbed quietly.

  "Miss, we've arrived." The voice of the female driver came from outside the carriage.

  Yan Mengyun wiped away her tears, tidied up her makeup, and got off the carriage with Bai Cangdong. They walked into a small teahouse together.

  The teahouse was quiet and deserted with few customers. The two of them found a private room and sat down, and soon the shop assistant brought over some tea.

  "Is there something troubling you?" Bai Cangdong wrapped his arms around Yan Mengyun, holding her close to his chest.

  "We can't be together now, or it will only bring you harm and cost you your life." Yan Mengyun closed her eyes, feeling the broad chest of Bai Cangdong.

  "Why?" asked Bai Cangdong.

  "The countess won't allow you and me to be together, if she knew about our relationship, she would definitely kill you."

  Bai Cangdong was even more confused, looking at Yan Mengyun with a puzzled expression.

  "Her life is not long, so she has always warned me to prepare wholeheartedly for the promotion of the Earl. Before the promotion of the Earl, I must not be distracted by other things." Yan Mengyun said bitterly: "A few days ago, because I liked to grow wave clouds flowers, often went to take care of the flower garden, the Earl flattened the entire flower garden, now there is only scorched earth left."

  "What right does the count have to treat you like this? You're just her heir, not her slave." Bai Cangdong was furious.

  "I'm not her slave, but I am her daughter, her own flesh and blood."

  Bai Cangdong was stunned on the spot, and at the same time, many doubts in his heart were also answered.

  Why did Yan Mengyun, with such a background, become one of the five successors? Why did Yan Mengyun suddenly become a genius after returning to Fenghuacheng? Why did the Earl of Fenghua choose her as his successor so easily? It was all because Yan Mengyun turned out to be the daughter of the Earl of Fenghua.

  "Why didn't the Earl of Fenghua reveal your true identity and instead create this whole succession war?" Bai Cangdong still couldn't understand this point. If Yan Mengyun was indeed the biological daughter of the Earl of Fenghua, she only needed to announce her true identity to rightfully inherit Fenghua City. But the Earl of Fenghua didn't do that, and instead created all these troubles.

  "Because my biological father is someone who will never be able to speak out, she also cannot acknowledge me as her biological daughter. Even if she goes into the grave, my name won't be on her tombstone, because I am only her heir in name, not her daughter."
