Chapter 365
Yue Fuguang felt her heart stir. It seemed Xi Yuanshan had further closed the distance with his cousin by sharing secrets.Seeing Yue Fuguang looking at them, the two brothers immediately put on gentle smiles and said, The sky is clear and the air is fresh. It is too stuffy to sit in a carriage in such fine weather. Would the Junior Preceptor like to come out and ride a horse?
Xi Ling was not wrong. The day Yun Tianxing chose for this trip was indeed excellent. Except for the lack of rain in late autumn this year, everything else was quite good.
The wind and sunlight today were just like that, cool but not cold, bright but not harsh. Everything was perfectly balanced, so Yue Fuguang only hesitated for a moment before being tempted by his proposal.
She glanced at her attire. She had to admit that Cuizhu was far too foresighted.
Although this was not a riding habit, it did not hinder her from riding slowly.
Shen Chunying and the others saw Yue Fuguang's expression and waved backward without waiting for her orders.
By the time Yue Fuguang stood up and exited the carriage, she saw that Yu Huaixian was already waiting by the carriage, leading her pony.
To avoid causing a traffic jam, Yue Fuguang did not waste words. With a light tap of her foot, she leaped onto the horse.
Host, what a handsome move!
Being praised by the system like this, Yue Fuguang's face first turned red, then black.
For no other reason than Yue Fuguang could not bear the hardship of practicing martial arts, yet she wanted to fulfill her childhood dream of flying over eaves and walking on walls, killing a person every ten steps and leaving no trace behind for a thousand miles.
So, as she grew wealthier over the past two years, she still could not resist the system's temptation. Under its recommendation, she bought the peerless lightness skill that shared her name, Moon Shadow Floating Light.
In the system's words, how could Yue Fuguang not know the peerless divine skill Moon Shadow Floating Light!
System, tell me honestly, how much commission did you take from this movement technique? A lightness skill for mortals cost her eighteen thousand points. These points were almost enough to buy an entry-level mental cultivation method in the cultivation world.
The system remained silent, playing dead!
Seeing Yue Fuguang effortlessly mount the horse, the brothers Xi Ling and Xi Yuanshan exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and confusion in each other's eyes.
Over the past two years, they had constantly investigated Yue Fuguang, but they had never heard the slightest rumor about the Junior Preceptor of Great Yan practicing martial arts.
Looking at her skill, it was not something that could be mastered in two or three years. Their people had not even managed to find out this information. How many more secrets did she have that they did not know?
No wonder the assassinations and kidnappings targeted at her by various countries had never succeeded once; nobody could even touch the hem of her clothes.
Xi Ling put away the confusion on his face and praised, The Junior Preceptor has such excellent lightness skills. Even we, who are a few years older, cannot match it.
Yue Fuguang temporarily let the system off and replied modestly to Xi Ling, Your Highness flatters me!
Xi Yuanshan chimed in, My younger brother is not wrong. Let alone others, the two of us brothers are inferior to the Junior Preceptor in this skill!
Saying that, he laughed out loud. Yue Fuguang raised an eyebrow, not knowing what the punchline of this sentence was.
Did she also need to force a couple of laughs to fit in?
What is Brother laughing at? Why not tell me and the others?
The Xi brothers still had smiles on their faces when Gan Tang and Lan Xuan'er, who were originally riding in carriages, also rode over on horseback.
Behind them followed the two brothers, Bei Ye and Bei Yue.
Seeing so many people gathering around, Yue Fuguang felt that it would be better for her to sit back in the carriage. After all, nothing good ever came from these people with ulterior motives gathering around her.
Before she could dismount, she heard Lan Xuan'er say, Prince Yue, Xuan'er wants to discuss a business deal with you. I wonder if that is possible?
Discuss business?
Their family's businesses were all managed by her older sisters, her mother, and her aunts, or else they were in cooperation with the Crown Prince.
She was only responsible for collecting the money and did not have to worry about a thing.
So if Lan Xuan'er wanted to discuss business, she should not have come to her!
Thinking this, Yue Fuguang said aloud, What business does the Princess want to discuss with me?
Glass, white liquor, soap, essential oils, white sugar, tea, and the cotton products from the factories... Counting them all, their family really had a lot of businesses.
A bright smile appeared on Lan Xuan'er's beautiful face. She said, Xuan'er, or rather the nobles of Nanzhao, all love your fine tea.
Unfortunately, the tea production from your tea garden is low, and we can never manage to grab the good stuff.
So, you want to buy some directly from me? This was an attempt to bypass the middlemen and go straight to her, the supplier.
Lan Xuan'er cast an admiring glance. Exactly.
She instantly changed into the demeanor of a young maiden. I wonder if you still have any more here.
She also knew that with Great Yan's climate, the current tea leaves had reached the season of withering. However, the tea trees on this Prince's tea mountain were an exception. Although it was just one hilltop tea garden, it produced tea year-round. Unfortunately, limited by the small amount of land, the production was rather low.
It was said that this was possible because there were hot springs on the mountain. Her people could not get close, so she did not know if the news was true or false. Thus, Lan Xuan'er's move was not only to actually buy tea but also to probe.
Yue Fuguang remained noncommittal to her remarks.
She looked up at the fluffy, cotton-like clouds in the sky, drifting leisurely across the blue porcelain plate of the heavens.
Looking again at the land and mountains connecting to the horizon, she, whose spiritual senses were becoming increasingly acute, could clearly feel the water molecules in the air decreasing day by day.
After this winter, her identity would not be able to be hidden even if she wanted to. Moreover, with her current growth, she no longer needed to deliberately hide anything.
So she turned her face to Lan Xuan'er and chuckled softly, Naturally, there is still some tea left.
Lan Xuan'er immediately put on a huge smile and said, Then Xuan'er is in for a treat!
Gan Tang smiled and teased, Then do not forget to share a portion with me, your older sister, once you get the good tea.
The others also gathered around immediately. Bei Yue said, Junior Preceptor, I heard that the scenery at your estate is considered the best in the capital. I wonder if I might have the honor of experiencing it.
Yue Fuguang raised an eyebrow. This Bei Yue was even more direct than Lan Xuan'er, who was only probing indirectly.
This guy was directly preparing to visit her home!
Yue Fuguang could have refused directly, but her eyes darted around, and she smiled modestly, Your Highness overpraises it. However, the flavor of the food at my estate is indeed slightly different from elsewhere. If Your Highness has time, you can come and have a taste.
Bei Yue was overjoyed and said, Then I will respectfully obey. When we return from the hunt, I will definitely bring generous gifts and pay a visit.
The Xi brothers exchanged a glance and joined in the fun, saying, Brother Bei Yue, you must call upon us brothers when the time comes.
Then they said to Yue Fuguang, Junior Preceptor, you would not mind two extra mouths from us brothers, would you?
Come, all of you come! She then said to Gan Tang and Lan Xuan'er, The two princesses as well. If you are not in a hurry to return to your countries, come gather at my estate.
Host, if you become familiar with them now, will you not feel unbearable sympathy when the time comes to attack their countries?
Unbearable sympathy? Do you think your host possesses such a thing?
Someone once said that the flower of civilization needs to be irrigated with blood; there is no progress without bloodshed. In her eyes, great unification was a kind of progress of the times.
