Chapter 1558: Chapter 1558: Yun Luocai
The residence of Yun Mengyao from those years is still preserved.
Just now, when Yun Mengyao went to pay respects to her parents, Yun Lin had someone come to clean, so she can move in directly.
After settling Yun Mengyao, Yun Lin said to Qin Yi and the others, "Come with me, I’ll show you where you’ll be staying."
Qin Yi frowned and said:
"Isn’t there a room here? We can just stay here."
Yun Lin apologized:
"This is the clan leader’s instruction, you cannot stay with Yaoyao!"
Qin Yi asked in confusion, "Why?"
Yun Lin pondered for a moment and said, "I guess the clan leader is considerate of the Golden Winged Roc clan."
"After all, Yaoyao was once Jin Wuji’s fiancée, if the Golden Winged Roc clan finds out she’s staying in the same courtyard with another man, it wouldn’t sound good."
Qin Yi sneered, saying:
"What a joke. Didn’t Jin Wuji already marry another woman? Yun Mengyao currently has nothing to do with him, right?"
"Not to mention staying in the same courtyard, even if staying together, he has no say."
Yun Lin frowned slightly, with some displeasure on his face, and said:
"This is the clan leader’s instruction. If you have any objections, you can go to the clan leader."
"Although the three of you are friends with Yaoyao, this is the Feather Clan, and when in the Feather Clan, you must obey our rules."
Qin Yi’s expression darkened.
Yin Qianqian knew Qin Yi was concerned about Yun Mengyao’s health. She understood Qin Yi’s temper and knew he had been tolerating the Feather Clan for a long time, if not for fearing it would make things difficult for Yun Mengyao, he might have lost his temper already.
"How about this, I’m a woman, so it shouldn’t be a problem for me to stay here, right?"
"While I’m here, I can take care of her."
Yun Lin thought for a bit and nodded slightly, "I’ll have someone tidy up the room next door for you."
Yin Qianqian nodded slightly and looked at Qin Yi, saying:
"Don’t worry! With me here, she’ll be fine."
Qin Yi nodded and said, "Be extra careful, shout loudly if you need help, and I’ll come immediately."
Qin Yi and Lang Ya were arranged in another courtyard, which was somewhat far from Yun Mengyao’s courtyard.
Yun Lin didn’t like Qin Yi’s attitude, but still instructed people to take care of him, then left.
"This isn’t like your usual self."
Lang Ya rarely spoke up on his own.
Qin Yi walked to the chair and sat down, poured two cups of tea, and said indifferently, "If it weren’t for Yun Mengyao’s sake, do you think I could endure until now?"
If it weren’t for Yun Mengyao’s sake, he would have dismantled the Holy Temple when those old folks in the Feather Clan’s Holy Temple were being noisy.
Qin Yi drank tea and chatted with Lang Ya for a bit, but found him quite dull and felt a bit bored, suddenly missing the playful days along the journey with Yun Mengyao.
Fortunately, Yun Mengyao was accompanying him on this journey, otherwise Lang Ya would be tiresome to death.
...
...
The next day, early morning.
Qin Yi, worried about Yun Mengyao, went to her courtyard early in the morning.
He found Yun Mengyao and Yin Qianqian were not there.
Upon asking those caring for them, he learned Yun Mengyao had gone to pay respects to her parents early in the morning.
With Yin Qianqian accompanying, Qin Yi felt at ease.
Yin Qianqian was not someone to provoke lightly, and in the Feather Clan, only Yun Tianli and Yun Tianfeng could contend with her.
Qin Yi sat on a stone stool under the big tree in the courtyard, waiting for Yin Qianqian and Yun Mengyao to return.
After a while, a group of people entered from outside.
Leading them was a shapely, beautiful young woman, followed by more than ten maids.
This should be one of Yun Mengyao’s cousins, otherwise she wouldn’t make such an entrance.
The maids attending Yun Mengyao and Yin Qianqian hurriedly put down their tasks and ran over to greet the young woman.
"Greetings, Holy Daughter."
Qin Yi was slightly taken aback, Holy Daughter?
Could it be Yun Luocai?
Qin Yi scrutinized this woman; her features were quite distinct, but her forehead was a bit narrow, her eyes were long and narrow, and her lips too thin, making her appear somewhat mean and heartless.
"Stand up! I heard my cousin is back. Where is she? Still not up?"
"Responding to the Holy Daughter, the young lady went to the Holy Temple."
Yun Luocai’s thin lips curled as she sneered, "So many years away, and she goes to the Holy Temple as soon as she’s back. Is she truly filial, or just pretending?"
The attendants serving Yun Mengyao dared not respond.
However, Qin Yi’s brows furrowed.
Perhaps sensing someone watching her, Yun Luocai turned and was momentarily stunned.
Qin Yi’s handsome appearance was charming, enough to astonish anyone, male or female.
"Who is he?" Yun Luocai asked.
"He’s the young lady’s friend."
"Friend?" Yun Luocai sneered coldly, "Just a friend?"
She then walked towards Qin Yi.
Qin Yi raised his eyes and looked at her.
Yun Luocai looked at Qin Yi, "Do you know who I am?"
Qin Yi smiled and said:
"Yun Luocai, the current Holy Daughter of the Feather Clan. The wife of the Saint Heir of the Golden Winged Roc clan."
Yun Luocai seemed surprised, "You actually know me?"
"I heard someone mention you yesterday."
"What’s your name?"
"Qin Yi."
Yun Luocai, with her head held high like a proud peacock, said, "Since you know who I am, why do you not bow in my presence?"
Qin Yi’s lips curled slightly, then he said:
"Sorry! Qin has been crippled in the legs since childhood and cannot stand, thus cannot bow."
Yun Luocai was stunned for a moment.
After a while, she looked at Qin Yi’s legs, "Your legs don’t seem abnormal."
Qin Yi’s lips curled with a mischievous smile, "It’s not visible when wearing pants. Should I take them off to show you?"
"You..." Yun Luocai was furious, "You dare to be frivolous with me?"
"Just speaking the truth, how is that being frivolous? If you believe it, then I naturally don’t have to take off my pants."
Yun Luocai was momentarily speechless.
She stared at Qin Yi, showing undisguised disdain, "Truly, like attracts like. My cousin is laughable, befriending a useless cripple."
"Consider yourself lucky as a cripple, this lady won’t hold your rudeness just now against you."
Qin Yi’s lips curled slightly higher, "Thank you! You truly are beautiful and kindhearted."
A hint of pride flashed through Yun Luocai’s eyes, as no woman dislikes being called beautiful.
This person has a good appearance, but it’s a pity he’s a waste, such a pity.
Yun Luocai’s eyes gleamed as she smiled and said, "Thanking isn’t just about words."
Qin Yi asked curiously, "Then what should I do?"
Yun Luocai felt around her body but didn’t take anything out. Then, she reached up and removed the gold hairpin from her head, asking Qin Yi, "Do you want this?"
Qin Yi’s eyes lit up with desire but quickly waved his hand and said, "I wouldn’t dare take that."
Seeing Qin Yi’s face full of greed, Yun Luocai’s smile grew, "If you help me with a task, this gold hairpin is yours."
"What task?"
Yun Luocai stepped forward, whispered a few words into Qin Yi’s ear, then stepped back, looked at Qin Yi and said, "This task is not hard, right?"
