Squeak!
Just as Yun Luofeng mentioned the golden-seeking hamster, Milk Tea, a call caught his attention. Not too long later, he saw a small milk-white hamster enter through the gap of the door, calling Yun Luofeng in a squeak.
"Have you finished digging the underground training ground?" Yun Luofeng held the Milk Tea in his palm and asked, "Have you left the three large holes that I told you to keep?"
"Squeaking."
Milk Tea nodded her head in panic, blinked her eyes at Yun Luofeng, and tried to act cute as if asking for a gift.
“What about the people I supervise? How did it go?”
During this time, Milk Tea worked to dig an underground training ground in the morning and was responsible for overseeing the recruits at night! Of course, as a gift, Yun Luofeng did not treat him unfairly and every day, he rewarded him with Spirit Gathering Medicinal Fluids.
"Squeaking." Milk Tea nodded her head once more, earnestly looking at Yun Luofeng.
"This is your gift for today." Yun Luofeng took out a bottle of Spirit Gatherer Medicinal Fluid and threw it into the Milk Tea.
Milk Tea hurriedly held the Spirit Gatherer Medicinal Fluid and used its teeth to open the lid, swallowing the medicinal liquid.
The gold-seeking hamster is different from humans; its cultivation relies on endless devouring medicinal herbs! And this Spirit Gathering Medicinal Fluid made from medicinal plants was naturally his food! However, compared to the Spirit Gathering Medicinal Fluids, his yearning for spiritual herbs from a few days ago was stronger.
"Squeaking, squeaking."
After he finished taking the Spirit Gathering Medicinal Fluid, Milk Tea smacked his mouth and called Yun Luofeng a few times while vigorously moving his hands and feet.
"Master, it is said that he witnessed a man leaving the General Estate secretly once, and after following him, he discovered that the man sent a letter to an old man in a sissy voice," Xiao Mo faintly spoke up to explain as if understanding the confusion.in Yun Luofeng's heart.
Apparently, the little one here had yet to calm his emotions.
"Banky voice?" Yun Luofeng lightly stroked his chin and chuckled. “In addition to the palace eunuch, there is no one with a voice that is too effeminate. As expected, it seems that the Emperor did not trust the General Estate and planted a spy here! Milk Tea, lead the way. I want to go see that guy!”
The reason why he had bid his time these past few days was to lure the spies out of the palace! It was clear that the spies had lost patience and revealed their purpose this quickly.
"Squeaking, squeaking!" Milk Tea cheerfully called out twice and rushed down from Yun Luofeng's palm, and quickly flew out the door while swinging her little buttocks.
Yun Luofeng did not think twice before chasing after him closely.
At this moment, people were crowding to the point of explosion inside the dim and damp stone room. The entire two hundred people living inside the crowd-level stone room could be imagined.
After experiencing Yun Luofeng's abandonment these past few days, these people had already become impatient. If it wasn't for the General Estate's sizable salary, why else would they live in a prison like this?
Amidst everyone's boisterous discussion, a relaxed voice suddenly sounded, making everyone's conversation stop abruptly.
The girl's back was leaning against the stone wall, her completely clean white clothes were in stark contrast to this dark stone room. A lethargic and evil smile was displayed on her matchless beautiful appearance as her dark eyes silently looked at the suddenly silent crowd.
"Miss Yun," a disgruntled voice sounded from the crowd, "after recruiting us, you left us here and paid no heed to us. Just what do you want to do? Were we brought here just so you could treat us like this?
Yun Luofeng lightly raised his brows, his gaze turning slightly towards the person speaking.
It was a handsome young man with fine eyebrows, who was somewhat knitted out of dissatisfaction. Perhaps due to living in this stone room without the sunlight these past few days, his cheeks had almost become transparent white. It was clear that he was young, but his eyes contained the feeling of having undergone a life change.
"What's your name?" Yun Luofeng looked at the handsome young man and asked with his lips turned upside down.
The handsome young man had not expected that Yun Luofeng would notice him so quickly, so he was stunned for a moment. His eyes swirled in a circle as he said, “Yi Ling! My name is Yi Ling!”
“What I want is your real name! Tell me, what's your real name?” Yun Luofeng folded his hands across his chest, although his tone did not show impatience.
The young man was startled, his eyeballs continued to wander as he insisted, "Yi Ling is my real name!"
"Then, let me change the question: where did you go last night?" Yun Luofeng watched the young man with a smile. His black eyes seemed to be able to discern everything. No one can escape his surveillance!
The young man's face began to sweat. When he left yesterday, no one followed him, so why did Yun Luofeng ask him this question? He must have pulled his leg on purpose!
What the young man did not know was, indeed, no one had followed him last night, there was only a small hamster sneaking behind him.
"Yi Ling?" Yun Luofeng's smile became clearer. “Reported, a few years ago, Kingdom of Liujin 1 was defeated. In search of peace, they sent the third most talented prince of Liujin Kingdom, Ye Ling, as a pawn! The Third Prince was originally the ruler of the next generation but suffered the fate of becoming a pawn! Therefore, I want to ask should I call you Yi Ling or the Third Prince?
The young man's complexion changed dramatically, his eyes looking at Yun Luofeng in horror.
"You ... how do you know?"
Isn't the oldest miss of the General Estate useless? How can he distinguish his identity?
“When the Crown Prince first sent you all to the General Estate, I did not pay attention to you, yet you cannot remain calm. When you went to meet a eunuch from the palace yesterday, you were found by my people!” Yun Luofeng gently patted the small head of Milk Tea, smiling thinly with downcast eyes. “Of course, if you casually mentioned a name when I asked you just now, I wouldn't know that you are Ye Ling! However, you actually used the name ‘Yi Ling’ to trick me!”
He stopped and looked at the young man's pale white face.
“The Empress of Liujin Yi Kingdom is your mother. It is difficult to go undetected using this name. I just want to know, what term did that person from the Imperial Palace use to make you do his orders?”
Ye Ling laughed wryly. “Yun Luofeng, they all said you were trash and you only dared to abuse your power by relying on the name of the General Estate. Unfortunately, the world is blind; no one can see through you. You are right, I am Ye Ling! The Emperor promised me that after living on your land for two whole years, he will let me return to my kingdom! Not to mention, if not for Yun Luo, that old man, Liujin Kingdom would not have been defeated, and I would not have been a hostage!” a touch of hatred flashed in Ye Ling's eyes as she spoke coldly.
"Ye Ling, do you think this is really my grandfather's fault?" Yun Luofeng sneered. “I admit, my grandfather used to be very loyal, fully obedient to the dog's emperor's orders. However, it was not of his own volition! What you should really hate is the emperor of that dog! What's more, the reason why you became a hostage, I'm afraid you know better than anyone. ”
