Chapter 64 Ye Family’s Guests
"That’s the century-old monkey wine I got from a little sister. Speaking of which, I’m planning to invite Ye Lingyue from the Ye Family in the city to attend your birthday banquet. I wonder what your opinion on this is, Father?" Lan Cai’er was eager to introduce her father to Ye Lingyue. Lan Yingwu and Housekeeper Wen were slightly startled. Since arriving in Li City, it was the first time Lan Cai’er had mentioned inviting a friend over to her home, especially to the governor’s birthday banquet.
The guests for Lan Yingwu’s birthday feast were all prestigious figures in Li City. Receiving an invitation to the banquet was considered a great honor.
The governor, Lan Yingwu, had heard of the Ye Family’s reputation. If he remembered correctly, the family owned an ordinary Xuantie Ore business. Aside from that, the head of the Ye Family was merely a martial artist at the Postnatal Peak.
Postnatal Martial Artists could dominate in Qiufeng Town, but in Li City, without an Innate Expert to hold power, they couldn’t even be considered first-tier; they were barely third-tier at best.
How capable could a young lady raised by such a family be, if she was only in the Body Refinement Realm—an insignificant role?
Lan Yingwu was born a martial artist, but he rose to prominence as Daxia’s first Civilian General through his own strength, with contributions from Housekeeper Wen, no less. He was certainly no pushover.
Governor Lan knew his daughter’s temperament better than anyone; always haughty, even the imperial princes in the Imperial City failed to catch her eye.
Her close friends were all young ladies and gentlemen from the households of princes and marquises. Unexpectedly in Li City, she would become close with a commoner.
It was good that Lan Cai’er could make friends, but Li City was teeming with local powers, a mix of dragons and snakes. The sudden appearance of Ye Lingyue, with an unclear family background, was something to be wary of.
