Chapter 66 I Have a Clever Heart
"That little girl named Jianyu has quite a background. She has a cinnabar mark on her forehead, looks exotic, and has a totem on the lower back of her neck."
That's something only direct descendants of sorcerer families in the Southern Frontier possess; she's most likely a descendant of Southern Frontier sorcery.
Also, you need to be extra careful of that guy named Li Zheng. He's not simple; he used to be in the organization with me and Lin Tian."
However, the two of us are core members, while he is an ordinary member, and he has never met either of us.
Six months ago, this kid stole one of the instruments the organization was developing called "Snail".
Then this guy registered a lot of online accounts with untraceable IP addresses and started taking orders like crazy, specifically to kill the target in their dream for his employer.
"Then how did he know when the target would enter the dream?" Su Zixu asked.
"Of course he didn't know."
However, "Snail" will pull the target into Li Zheng's dream.
He's wanted by the organization for murder; if they encounter him, he must be executed and "Snail" brought back.
Su Zixu had too many questions, but now was not the right time to discuss them. The most urgent thing was to go out and reunite with the others.
Su Zixu resisted the urge to ask more questions and went out with Yue Zheng Fengye.
"You two are so slow, I've been waiting for ages." Lin Tian crossed his arms and looked at the two with a hint of resentment.
"You know what, the eldest daughter's clothes are really beautiful."
But ultimately, it's because she's good-looking that the clothes look good on her.
Su Zixu was not good at interacting with girls and didn't know how to greet them, so he could only awkwardly offer a few words of praise.
"This is so awkward! Alright, I'm sure your master has told you everything you needed to say. By the way, you should call me Lin He in public, don't get it wrong."
"Don't worry, Miss Lin, I'm shrewd," Su Zixu said with a serious expression.
These words made the old man Yue Zheng burst into laughter. Lin Tian glanced at the two oddballs, the old man and the young boy, and turned to walk away without looking back.
Before long, the maids came to escort each group to the front square.
The maidservant walked up to the three men with small, quick steps, bowed deeply, and performed a gesture of respect with her hands clasped: "This servant greets the Second Master, the Eldest Young Master, and the Eldest Madam."
"They've changed how they address me." Su Zixu was secretly startled.
Yue Zheng Fengye accepted the greeting and replied, "No need for formalities."
"Please follow me."
Master Lu has said that a family banquet will be held tonight.
Yesterday, the entire Jinghongfang restaurant was booked out; the master intends to bring his family and relatives for a joyful gathering.
The maidservant walked slightly ahead of the three of them and spoke respectfully.
As soon as the three of them entered the front courtyard, everyone else was already waiting. Because their place was at the very back, they were the last to arrive.
The three of them had just arrived at the square when they heard a complaint coming from Zhang Jingjing.
"Why do they get to live so well, while we get to live in such a dilapidated place!"
Zhang Jingjing kept nagging Dou Xiang, complaining about the poor accommodations and the worn-out clothes.
Everyone present kept their distance from Zhang Jingjing, and Qin Cang was so annoyed that he covered his ears.
"Please wait here a moment, gentlemen. The butler will be here shortly."
After the maid finished speaking, she glanced at Zhang Jingjing and then said to Le Zheng, Feng Ye, and the other two:
"That's just how the young lady is, no need to pay her any mind. I'm sorry that the second master, young master, and young lady have made such a fuss."
After saying this, the maid turned and left.
When the three of them looked at Zhang Jingjing again, their expressions were quite intriguing.
Not long after, the butler arrived. Perhaps intimidated by the butler's aura, Zhang Jingjing finally shut her mouth.
The butler stood before the crowd and said solemnly:
"Dear relatives and friends, tonight is a family banquet, a time for celebration for the whole family. Please be mindful of your words and actions, so as not to spoil the enjoyment."
After the housekeeper finished speaking, he took a deep look at Zhang Jingjing, who was standing at the very edge.
"Please welcome everyone."
After bowing slightly, the butler gestured for everyone to follow.
Su Zixu and his two companions walked at the very back of the procession when Su Wang spoke up from the crowd:
"When we get to the banquet, everyone should watch my signals and not do anything reckless. That's how things are these days..."
"Senior Liu Ye, what are your thoughts?" Su Zixu asked in a very low voice.
"Hmm? I'm not a history major, so I don't know much about the etiquette and culture of this era. I'll have to rely on Su Wang," Le Zheng Feng Ye replied.
"He doesn't seem reliable at all. Can we trust him?"
Su Zixu looked at Su Wang, who was now smugly explaining knowledge to everyone, with a suspicious expression.
"Hahahaha, he's unreliable, but he's not stupid."
I believe most of the knowledge he shared is true, but I can't rule out the possibility that he might lie about certain details.
"His actions were intended to make the newlyweds step on his landmines at the banquet later."
