Fengdu was really too big, and the streets were completely crowded. Some women were dressed in revealing clothes, exposing most of their skin, while others were completely covered in robes, revealing only their eyes.
The buildings in Fengdu were almost as densely packed as the crowd. Five to six storeys high buildings were everywhere, row upon row.
The fragrance of the women's cosmetics, the men's sweat, the stench of the sewers, the aroma of the street food, and countless other smells mixed together to form a very strange and complex smell.
Ye Jingyu wrinkled her nose and said, "Fengdu is still so smelly."
Lan Ling curiously looked at everything outside through the window. Everything was real, and it was much more direct and shocking than what he saw in the movies. Especially this city that was a combination of Chinese and Western architecture, which could not be seen in the movies at all.
Even the carriages of the nobles moved very slowly in Fengdu because there were too many people.
"Is Young Master Søren back in the carriage?" Suddenly, a woman's surprised cry came from outside.
Lan Ling lifted the curtain and looked over. On top of a magnificent building, there were more than ten women in revealing clothes, stroking their hair coquettishly. After seeing Lan Ling's face, the group of women immediately screamed, "Young Master Søren is back, Young Master Søren is back …"
Without a doubt, this was a brothel.
Then, these women actually boldly lifted their clothes and greeted Lan Ling with all their might.
"Young Master Søren, come quickly, come quickly, we've missed you so much …"
Then, a few women quickly ran down from the building, and actually directly pounced on the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Lan Ling immediately felt his scalp go numb. The Søren that he was impersonating must be a regular customer of this brothel, otherwise these prostitutes would not be so enthusiastic.
Ye Jingyu said with an awkward expression, "Young Master Søren used to come to this kind of place often, and I don't know how much money he had squandered. So the women in the brothel all know him and treat him like an ancestor. "
Immediately, Lan Ling felt a lot of pressure. On Earth, he was a virgin. Now, it was really difficult for him to pretend to be a playboy.
Ye Jingyu waved her whip and sped up. She got rid of the prostitutes who were about to pounce on her and sped up to the Count's Mansion.
…
The Earl of Tianshui's mansion was located in the inner city of King City, where all the nobles of the kingdom lived.
After entering the inner city, the smell of the air suddenly changed, becoming fragrant and pleasant. The road suddenly became flat and wide, and there were fewer people. All that came and went were BMWs and luxurious cars.
On both sides of the wide bluestone streets, there were mostly long and tall walls. Behind the walls were the manors of the noble families.
Because the road was wide and there were fewer people, the speed of the carriage was much faster. Just as they were galloping along the road and admiring the beautiful scenery outside through the window, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong? Have you arrived at the Count's mansion? "Lan Ling asked.
Ye Jingyu jumped off the horse and whispered to Lan Ling, "Quickly get off the carriage and stand by the side of the road. Bow your head and be respectful."
Lan Ling quickly got off the carriage and stood by the side of the road with Ye Jingyu. He bowed slightly and looked at the other carriages on the road. They had all stopped. The nobles in the carriages all got off and stood by the side of the road, bowing quietly.
He couldn't help but be surprised. What kind of important person was passing by? Could it be someone from the royal family?
After a while, before he could see the person, Lan Ling smelled a strange fragrance. It was very light, but distant and ethereal. Then, he saw a group of four people appear from the corner of the road in front, walking along the middle of the road.
These four people were covered in snow-white robes, only their eyes were exposed. Their faces couldn't be seen clearly. He could only see their slim and graceful figures. Their eyes … how to put it, it was the first time that Lan Ling saw such eyes. That kind of pure and flawless with a holy light seemed to purify people's souls.
These four people walked very quickly, but it seemed that they didn't take a step at all. It was as if they were floating in front of everyone. The whole street was completely silent.
After the four white-robed women were completely gone, everyone boarded the carriages again and continued to move forward.
Lan Ling got on the carriage and didn't ask any questions, although he was very curious.
"This is the Dragon Temple's Snow Messenger, the messenger of God in this world. In the future, no matter where you meet them, you must stand by the side of the road and wait quietly. Don't look up, don't move, and don't open your mouth to say a word," Ye Jingyu said.
"Got it." Lan Ling nodded. The words "Dragon Temple" were immediately deeply imprinted in his mind. This should be the world's most detached theocratic faith organization.
The carriage traveled in the inner city for another 15 minutes and suddenly stopped. Ye Jingyu said, "Young Master, we're home."
Lan Ling's heart suddenly jumped inexplicably. He felt an inexplicable feeling of nervousness, although this nervousness was completely without reason.
He opened the door and looked at the Earl's Mansion in front of him.
…
It really was a luxurious residence, and the courtyard was really deep.
There were two large stone lions in front of the door, a vermilion gate, and a huge gold-plated plaque.
The green walls were four to five meters high and a few hundred meters long. One couldn't see the end of it at a glance. The scenery inside was completely blocked, except for the occasional flowering tree that poked out of the wall.
On Earth, Lan Ling was just barely a well-off family. The house he lived in was also an old house that was more than 20 years old and barely less than 100 square meters. But the Earl's Mansion in front of him was at least 100 acres, so he was a little stunned by the grandeur.
However, the gold on the plaque seemed to have faded a little, and the trees inside the walls were a little messy, as if they hadn't been trimmed for a while.
Moreover, the door of the Earl's Mansion was tightly shut, and no sound could be heard from inside. For some reason, this huge Earl's Mansion actually had a desolate feeling.
"Young Master, please wait here for a moment. I'll go in and report to Miss," Ye Jingyu said.
To be honest, Ye Jingyu was also very nervous and even worried. Because letting Lan Ling pretend to be Søren was entirely her idea, and Miss still didn't know. Although Miss treated her like a sister, she had indeed overstepped her authority a lot in this matter.
When Lord Earl was alive, because he was always bedridden, and Young Master Søren was dissolute and absurd, Miss had been in charge of the Earl's Mansion for a long time, and her words had always been final.
And letting Lan Ling pretend to be Søren was such a big matter. If Miss didn't agree, then Ye Jingyu would really be in big trouble.
Seeing that she was nervous, Lan Ling couldn't help but smile at her to express his comfort.
This clean and kind smile immediately made Ye Jingyu have a good impression of him. Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"The Earl's Mansion is closed. Please leave your name. My master will come to apologize another day." An old man's voice came from inside.
"Housekeeper, I'm back," Ye Jingyu said.
There was a sudden silence inside, and then the door quickly opened. An old man asked in a trembling voice, "Lady Ye, where is Young Master …"
Ye Jingyu didn't answer and walked directly into the Earl's Mansion.
At the same time, the maids and servants in the Earl's Mansion came out of the house and bowed to Ye Jingyu, looking behind her.
What they were most concerned about was whether Young Master Søren had returned or not. It wasn't because Søren was popular, but because if Søren didn't return, then the Earl's Mansion would no longer exist. If the skin was gone, where would the hair attach? They would also be homeless.
…
The daughter of the Earl of Tianshui City, Suo Ningbing, was famous throughout the kingdom for her beauty. She was on par with Princess Zhi Ning.
In the early years, when she was only thirteen, Earl Sauron took her to a royal dinner. The king was shocked and praised, "All the essence of Tianshui Lake is gathered on your daughter. She really is the Tianshui Fairy."
Thus, the nickname Suo Ningbing Fairy of Tianshui spread, and she became a famous beauty in the entire Raging Wave Kingdom.
She was standing in front of Ye Jingyu at this moment. She wore a snow-white dress, and the bun of a young married woman meant that she was already married. There was a white cloth tied around it, indicating that she was in mourning.
She was haggard and weak, but her beauty was unparalleled. She really was like a fairy. The originally beautiful Ye JingYu, in front of her beauty, suddenly paled in comparison.
"Jingyu, you're back? Where's Søren? "Her voice was slightly hoarse because she had cried too much.
Ye Jingyu closed the door, and after confirming that there was no one around, she said in a low voice, "Miss, no matter what I say next, don't make a sound. Don't let a third person hear it."
Suo Ningbing's beautiful little face changed, and then she nodded.
"Young Master Søren is already dead. He should have died from some kind of energy field in the Demonic Mountain Range," Ye Jingyu said.
Suo Ningbing suddenly staggered, and her dried tears gushed out like a spring. Her lily-white hands tightly covered her small mouth, and she let out mournful sobs. Then she couldn't stand at all and directly fell on the chair.
In a short period of time, she had lost the only two relatives she had. In an instant, she felt completely hopeless.
"Young Master Søren is the only heir of the family. If he dies, the royal family will take the opportunity to take back the territory of Tianshui City. The Suo Family's two-hundred-year foundation will be destroyed in a day, "Ye Jingyu said.
Suo Ningbing immediately felt even more pained, and she cried, "I didn't teach Xiao Lun well. If I were stricter and didn't let him overestimate his ability to pursue Princess Zhi Ning, he wouldn't have died, and the Suo Family's foundation wouldn't have been severed."
Ye Jingyu sighed in her heart. With Young Master Søren's absurd personality, no one could control him. Although he was somewhat afraid to face this gentle and strict sister, he could stay away from home for a long time.
"Miss, I found a way to continue the Suo Family's hundred-year foundation." Ye Jingyu said, and then she knelt down and said, "But I did this very rashly and exceeded my authority."
Suo Ningbing trembled, and said, "Say it, stand up and say it."
"I found someone to pretend to be Young Master Søren and come back to inherit the title." Ye Jingyu didn't get up. She still knelt on the ground and said, "I was extremely daring. Miss, please punish me."
Suo Ningbing was immediately stunned, and she looked at Ye Jingyu in disbelief.
