Chapter 119: The Congratulatory Gift from the Feng Residence
Ever since Ye Lingyue was adopted by Governor Lan as his foster daughter, the ties between the governor’s mansion and the Ye Residence had grown increasingly close. Ye Huangyu and the Governor’s Wife hit it off at first sight, and in just a few days, they were as close as sisters, forming a bond like that of sworn friends.
Needless to say, Lan Cai’er would invite Ye Lingyue to stay at the governor’s mansion every now and then.
Lan Cai’er was born into a military general family. She began her martial arts training early, and her foundation in martial arts was much more solid than that of Ye Lingyue. From time to time, she would also give Ye Lingyue a few pointers.
On this day, the two were sparring in the training room of the governor’s mansion.
After a round of competition, both were drenched in sweat.
After exchanging moves with Ye Lingyue, Lan Cai’er realized that Ye Lingyue was quick to react. Combined with Ye Lingyue’s divine power attack, a normal defense was indeed inadequate, and so she offered a few tips.
"Misses, the Feng Residence has sent over some gifts. Lord Governor asks for both of you to come to the front hall," the butler of the governor’s mansion rushed into the training room.
Since Ye Lingyue became Governor Lan’s foster daughter, everyone in the governor’s mansion, from top to bottom, knew that their master and lady had a new foster daughter, and they all held Ye Lingyue in high regard.
Inside the front hall, Governor Lan himself was puzzled. What could the people from the Feng Residence want? After all, there wasn’t much interaction between the governor’s mansion and the Feng Residence.
Looking at the invitation, it was to congratulate Governor Lan on his breakthrough to the Reincarnation Realm and for adopting a clever and quick-witted foster daughter. Among the gifts were a Xuan-grade Tourmaline Shark Pattern Saber, four Snowflake Steeds, ten Wild Ginseng roots, thirty bolts of top-quality Beiqing Cloud Brocade, and some high-quality pearl hairpin accessories.
