Chapter 68: It’s Comfortable to Rest Under the Shade of a Big Tree
Lan Cai’er is actually a Commandery Princess of Daxia?
Indeed, Lan Cai’er had another identity. She ranked tenth in the Daxia Imperial Competition and gained favor with the Empress Dowager when she was granted an audience in the palace.
The Empress Dowager adopted her as her goddaughter, a decree that was personally endorsed by Emperor Xia. It was only because Li City is such a remote county that the news was delayed, leaving no one aware of Lan Cai’er’s status.
The spectators around them were dumbfounded.
After hitting and scolding someone, Lan Cai’er turned around with a smile, affectionately took Ye Lingyue by the hand, calling her "dear sister," and walked into the governor’s mansion, not even glancing back at the members of the Mountain and Sea Gang.
"Remember this... a pair of little bitches." Hatred filled Sha Zhan’s eyes as he could only dejectedly allow his servants to support him while he left the governor’s mansion.
Only after the surrounding guests returned to their senses did they enter the mansion or disperse.
After the crowd had dispersed, President Liao of the Alchemist Association, who had been watching the entire time, finally stepped forward, a contemplative look in his eyes as he gazed at Ye Lingyue’s departing figure.
"Dear sister, what was that incredible move you pulled off just now? It was so amazing; you knocked down a Postnatal Martial Artist without even lifting a finger," Lan Cai’er eagerly inquired the moment they entered the governor’s mansion, never ceasing her questioning of Ye Lingyue.
Lan Cai’er had secretly observed that Ye Lingyue’s cultivation wasn’t high, at most around the Body Refining Eighth Layer Realm, which would be no match against a Postnatal Martial Artist.
