Chapter 599: 599 misses you, so I came to see you.
"I missed you, so I came to see you." These words echoed in Ye Lanfeng’s heart, but he didn’t speak them aloud.
"Master, how did you get here?" Mu Cheng was the most excited, almost throwing himself at Ye Lanfeng as if a dog pounced on shit. Of course, that analogy isn’t right—Ye Lanfeng could never be shit, a meaty bone would be more like it. In his excitement, Mu Cheng failed to notice that Mu Hanyan’s address for Ye Lanfeng wasn’t Master but Young Master Ye.
"I was passing by and happened to see you here gambling on stones," Ye Lanfeng said with a slight smile, "I didn’t expect to have seen such an entertaining show."
The truth was he missed her and had come especially to see Mu Hanyan. Jin Yuguang secretly ridiculed this in his mind, but he dared not voice it out. However, he really did witness quite a spectacular show. Even now, Jin Yuguang was still savoring the memory. That Mu Hanyan really seemed like a playboy as they said, quite adorable indeed. Ugh, this ’adorable’ definitely wasn’t the cute of a lovely girl—it was about being endearing. Jin Yuguang shuddered, afraid that he might also be suspecting his own inclinations, he quickly shook his head to cast out the thoughts that had just crossed his mind.
"You’ve given us a good laugh," Mu Hanyan also started to smile.
Only then did Ye Lanfeng turn his head to look at Mu Cheng standing before him and asked indifferently, "Have you been serving your senior brother well during this time?"
"Yes, I have, I have. Whatever senior brother told me to do, if he said go east, I went east; if he told me to chase chickens, I chased chickens; if he told me to chase dogs, I chased dogs. I’ve been very obedient," Mu Cheng puffed out his chest and said proudly.
"That’s good, keep it up," Ye Lanfeng said after glancing at Mu Hanyan’s expression, noticing that she didn’t appear displeased but actually had a slight smile on her face. Although he didn’t know what happened between them, Ye Lanfeng thought that it was good as long as Mu Hanyan was happy.
"Yes, yes, I will continue to work hard and will definitely earn Master’s acknowledgment," Mu Cheng nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken.
Yan Yuchu and Wu Qiuyun silently observed Ye Lanfeng, and after a while, both felt secretly astounded. With his outstanding appearance and his exceptional presence, it was impossible to discern his level of cultivation. Who could he be? Seeing the eager-to-please look on Mu Cheng’s face, they became even more curious and astonished. Ling Baobao glanced at Ye Lanfeng, blinked her eyes, then lost interest and went back to fiddling with the Meteorite Gold Ore.
"Now that you’re the master here, won’t you offer me a cup of tea?" Ye Lanfeng said with a smile looking at Mu Hanyan.
"Ah, let’s go, we’ll head to the hall first," Mu Hanyan finally remembered and led everyone to the hall, realizing it wasn’t proper to keep standing there chatting.
So, the group turned and headed towards the hall.
Yuan Tianbo was indeed down on his luck, having spat out blood in frustration yet still ready to accept the loss, he left cleanly with all members of the Yuan Family. However, those servants and maids hired on the spot stayed, according to the contract, Little Pond City and these people now belonged to Mu Hanyan.
"Master, please have some tea." Mu Cheng took the tea from the maid’s hand, respectfully handed it to Ye Lanfeng, and was about to sit down when Ye Lanfeng gave him a look. After a quick glance at Mu Hanyan, Mu Cheng immediately got the hint. Hurriedly, he brought another cup of tea to Mu Hanyan and then finally sat down to rest. Wu Qiuyun and Yan Yuchu watched this scene with another wave of surprise. They knew Mu Cheng respected Mu Hanyan and was sincerely devoted, but this sudden sycophantic change was a bit too much for them to wrap their heads around.
"Where are you heading to this time as you pass by here?" Mu Hanyan asked Ye Lanfeng.
"I am going to Heishi City," Ye Lanfeng replied calmly.
"Then, that’s perfect. Let’s travel together. This time, I’ll be the host and treat you properly," Mu Hanyan said with a smile, not doubting Ye Lanfeng’s words. He had saved her, helped her, yet she never had the chance to repay him.
"Good," Ye Lanfeng readily agreed, "You go ahead and take care of your affairs, I also have some matters to attend to. I’ll come over when it’s time to leave."
"Okay," Mu Hanyan stood up to see him off, and Mu Cheng also hurriedly stood up to see Ye Lanfeng out.
