Chapter 59: Grandpa's Not in the Mood

  In the afternoon of spring day, the air in the garden gradually cools down, and the mist on the lotus pond is faint.

  Xia Feng immediately took a cold breath, his teeth feeling somewhat uncomfortable. "Cang Gongzi, you're not referring to that person, are you?"

  Yu Ran covered her mouth with a fan and smiled faintly, "Not bad, you must have thought of it, as expected of someone from the Xia family, knowledgeable and experienced."

  "But this person is probably not so easy to invite." Xiaofeng heard Yu Ran's praise and didn't seem too happy.

  "So, Xiaofeng, it's up to you to contact that man then?" Yu Ran picked up the Qinghua porcelain cup beside her, took a slow and elegant sip, savoring the fragrance and coolness.

  These days he was indeed too busy, so he used tea instead of wine to refresh himself.

  "Master Dye, why are you down there?" Xia Feng furrowed his brow, seemingly very unwilling to sigh.

  "You contact this person, I can naturally protect you from one side." Yu Ran raised her beautiful eyes and stared directly at the other party.

  "Gongzi, that person's mind is unpredictable and can't be grasped. Do you really want to protect me?" Xiaofeng was very dissatisfied with Yu Ran, feeling that he had ulterior motives.

  "What's the point of asking so many questions? Just do as I say." Yu Ran fanned herself, seemingly smiling yet not quite, speaking in a lazy tone.

  "This... " Xiaofeng still looked hesitant and uncertain, unlike his usual carefree self.

  "Xiaofeng! If you're still hesitating and being indecisive, I'll deduct half a year's worth of your monthly allowance. I recently heard that you've bought three mansions in different places and are preparing to get married, not just once, but thrice, all at the same time, for three women! You're really shouldering a heavy burden for those three ladies." Yu Ran's smile grew even more complacent, clearly aware of how to threaten his opponent.

  Xia Feng's face turned red, and he reluctantly nodded his head, "Alright alright, I'll just be responsible for contacting this person, whether it succeeds or not is none of my business."

  "Wait a minute, I have something for you." Yu Ran gave him a sideways glance.

  "Oh? Giving me a wedding gift ahead of time?" Xia Feng looked at him with a gloomy expression, his face solemn.

  "Kid, what nonsense are you talking about? This thing is one-of-a-kind, and I'm the only one who's willing to keep it for myself." As he spoke, Yu Ran carefully took out a delicate work of art from a crystal box. At first glance, its feathers seemed like ice, with a cold light that sent shivers down one's spine. Its eyes were two strange crystals that emitted a faint five-colored glow, which was characteristic of the top-grade spirit stones found only in the Cultivation Realm. The value of this object was impossible to estimate. It was an exquisite mechanical bird, not made of wood, nor any ordinary material, nor any common product.

  "Is this an Exquisite Messenger Bird?" Xia Feng was taken aback.

  "Not bad, you'll remember to use the name of Jin Yutang's right protector to talk to him after a while, that person will definitely give some face to Jin Yutang."

  "Since you know him and have a messaging bird, why didn't you contact him yourself?" Xia Feng asked doubtfully.

  "Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng! Sometimes I have no choice but to use extreme measures against those who are not ordinary. To deal with such people, one must use unconventional methods. Only when I don't personally look for him will he respond quickly. This is the cunning way of war, and it's a tactic to provoke the enemy."

  Yu's eyebrows slanted and flew, her eyes gleamed with charm, still a calculating face, smiling warmly and slyly, "Remember to speak later without being too polite, must be light as a feather, just like you usually don't rush or drag."

  "Understood." Xiaofeng finally understood his meaning.

  He turned around, patted the mechanical bird's head, slowly let out a breath, and said to the mechanical bird in a gentle tone, "That... I am Xia Feng, the right guardian of Jinyutang. I'd like to ask if Master Hua is available? My master, Ran Feng, was idle and wanted to invite you for tea and conversation, but he's suddenly very busy and didn't have time to come find you himself. So, I'm leaving a message for you, just to go through the motions. Master Hua doesn't need to rush to respond; do what needs to be done, and if you think of it later, just send a reply then."

  He patted the bird's head, and the bird's gemstone eyes sparkled. Then, with a "flap flap", it spread its wings and flew out.

  Birds flying in the blue sky spread their wings, looking at a glance vividly, can't see any clues.

  Yu Guang saw this scene, Su Mo had stopped dancing, she stood with her hands behind her back on the lake shore, as if she was a goddess, her eyes staring at the mechanical bird, without blinking, her beautiful eyes were calm like autumn water, with a hint of fire in the depths of her pupils, her thoughts slowly drifting away.

  At this moment, she remembered a kind of bird that Ah Yan had taught her to make in the past, which was a top-notch work in the mechanical technique.

  Although there is no luxurious material in front of your eyes, the structure is exactly the same. No matter how far apart you are, you can find the person you want to contact.

  Long ago, after Ah-Niu went missing, she made dozens of mechanical birds to search for his whereabouts. Once he saw the mechanical bird, it would return to her side again.

  Unfortunately, none of them came back in the end.

  She even suspected whether the other party was in a closed state, but knew that the other party must still be alive.

  After experiencing life's ups and downs, she was reborn. She pondered deeply, wondering what kind of profound emotion love was that made people involuntarily want to pursue it.

  She put her hand on her chest, if she met him again, would she still be unable to control herself like last time?

  Search your heart: Su Mo, Su Mo, is this persistence across two lifetimes for the sake of rekindling a past connection? Is it to repay a debt of gratitude? Or is it to unravel an enigma?

  Unconsciously, her gaze had been fixed on the bird's silhouette until it disappeared into the sky, and she remained stunned for a long time.

  Yu Ran's eyes turned, and she saw that Su Mo had an inexplicable hint of sadness on her face. This expression was never seen before on this strong woman. His gaze changed as he asked: "It seems that you are very interested in this thing? This bird is something I bought at a high price, it's one-of-a-kind in this world."

  "By the way, where did Dye Young Master get this messenger bird from? Can you tell me?" Su Mo raised an eyebrow and asked.

  "If you want to know, how about we practice dancing together tonight, just the two of us? I can even help you take off your dance costume, you've been wearing it for three days already. It's not good for a girl like you to not bathe and change clothes!" Yu Ran said with a sly smile, as if she wanted to stir up trouble.

  All sentimental emotions were shattered by the other's words in an instant, Su Mo's eyes narrowed, and she glanced at him sideways: "Who said you can't wear clothes while taking a bath?"

  Yu Ran immediately shook her head, "What's with that sloppy appearance? Isn't it easy to get sick?"

  Su Mo retorted, "Young Master only added a restriction to the clothes, and after I remove the restriction, it's no big deal, right?"

  Yu Ran looked at her in surprise, after all, the seal was a ring of array patterns, and even if he himself opened it, it would take a lot of effort. This woman indeed understood the way of refining equipment, but every refiner's understanding of array methods and seals was different, and most could understand only ten or so kinds. This girl actually said she could break the seal, if she wasn't careful, her clothes might be stuck on forever, she really was overestimating herself!

  Just as I was lost in thought, that bird had already flown back and landed on the table.

  Yu Ran's eyes widened in surprise, and it seemed that this person was indeed nearby.

  He patted the bird's head, and a man's voice came from inside. The voice was as if it had traveled thousands of mountains and rivers, full of charm: "Dye Gongzi, no, Yu Shizi, it's been a long time since we last met. What brings you to find me? Is it about the Jin Yu Tang and Bai Hua Tang declaring war on each other? Dye Gongzi, I'm really not in the mood for this right now!"
