Chapter Eighty-Four

Chapter 84

“Scoundrel.”

Yun Mengxi cast Ye Fengyun a mock-reproachful glance.

Ye Fengyun rolled his eyes. “If I’d known this would happen, I should have let you fall.”

“Tch. Even without you holding me, I could have stood steady.”

“Fine then, a good deed repaid with ingratitude.” Ye Fengyun spread his hands.

“You’re the dog.” Yun Mengxi said angrily, then strode off on her long legs.

The two of them arrived at the Yunlan Clan’s quarters. By then, Yun Lanzong was lying in bed, surrounded by servants.

Ye Fengyun stepped forward and said, “Paper and brush.”

The butler hurriedly handed them over.

Ye Fengyun took them and wrote swiftly with practiced ease.

“Take this and have the medicine prepared. The dosage is written clearly here.”

The butler received the note with both hands. “Thank you, thank you.”

Yun Lanzong looked at Ye Fengyun and said gratefully, “Young man, I’m truly obliged to you. If not for you, I fear I would have spent the rest of my life in that basement, until the day I died.”

Ye Fengyun said, “I have a few things I want to ask you. Let’s talk in private.”

The butler and the servants instantly grew wary.

Yun Lanzong smiled and waved his hand, signaling for everyone else to leave.

The butler and the others had no choice but to take the people out with them.

Yun Mengxi asked Ye Fengyun, “What do you want to ask my father?”

“None of your business.”

“You—”

“Mengxi, you go out first.”

Yun Mengxi shot him an annoyed glare, then left in a huff.

Soon, only Ye Fengyun and Yun Lanzong remained in the room.

Yun Lanzong said, “Go on. What do you want to ask?”

Ye Fengyun got straight to the point. “Who drew the summoning array in the basement?”

Yun Lanzong’s eyes widened, as if startled by the question.

But he quickly regained his composure and smiled benevolently.

“What summoning array?” he asked.

Ye Fengyun said, “You know exactly what I mean.”

Yun Lanzong shook his head with a smile. “I’m not quite sure.”

“Then let me ask another question.”

He reached into his pocket and took out a pendant.

It was the cursed pendant that had once hung by the bedside of the old matriarch of the Lin family.

“Do you recognize this?” Ye Fengyun asked.

Yun Lanzong narrowed his eyes and slowly shook his head.

“No, I don’t,” said Yun Lanzong.

Ye Fengyun said, “Half a year ago, you went to the Miao region. Coincidentally, the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Zhengfeng, went there during the same period.”

“And so?”

“I hope you understand what you’re doing. I won’t say for now whether this pendant has anything to do with you, but if you keep working on that summoning array in the basement, the Yun family will surely be doomed.”

“How insolent!”

Yun Lanzong struck the bed hard, his eyes turning bloodshot.

Such fury might have intimidated others, but it would never intimidate Ye Fengyun.
