Chapter 59 "Blueprint Stolen"

Xue Chenxi's lips curved into a faint smile as she gave Feng Xiran a sharp look, warning her with her eyes. Still, she spoke softly, "What are you saying? I've always been like this!"

She pinched her fingers hidden in her sleeve, reminding herself to stay calm and make a good impression in front of Lord Siyi.

She had intentionally asked a male servant to apply a bold and heroic makeup on her, dressing in a clean and crisp manner.

Feng Xiran, unfazed by Xue Chenxi's antics, was primarily concerned with how effective Lord Siyi's exploration skills were. However, she was also curious about Siyi's age.

She stared at Lord Siyi, deep in thought. Siyi was very young when he saved the Empress Dowager, and from what the Empress Dowager said, he was about the same age as her. Now he was the same age as Mu Xin's father.

"Oh!" Feng Xiran's eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape. Lord Siyi, in his thirties, still looked like a young man!

His face was as tender as a peeled egg, with a fair, delicate, and glossy complexion, and not a single wrinkle in sight. What about herself in the future...

Jing Sa, seeing her reaction, couldn't help but frown. This person was displaying such a lovesick expression, and he cleared his throat lightly.

Ling Shuang, seeing her cousin's lack of composure, nudged her elbow sharply. "Wipe that drool off your mouth. Heisn't all that impressive."

Feng Xiran thought she must build a good relationship with Siyi, who could not only heal and save people but also had skills in geological exploration. What else could he do? Predict the weather?

Could he be the legendary mysterious national advisor?

Lord Siyi expressed a wish to visit Mu Xin's father's grave, and Ling Xin enthusiastically arranged for a carriage to take them there.

"This might be useful, give it to the city lord."

He took out a cloth bag from his broad robe, which looked heavy.

Ling Xin curiously opened it, and Feng Xiran also leaned in to look. Inside were many small pouches. She casually opened one.

"What is this? It looks like seeds." Seeing Siyi nod, she asked Feng Xiran to help open the other pouches as well.

Lord Siyi mentioned that he had passed through many towns on his journey and had bought various seeds casually, unable to distinguish them clearly—corn, peanuts, cotton.

"Please ask the city lord to have someone sort them out!"

This was the perfect solution to Feng Xiran's problem of finding seeds, especially cotton seeds, which she had been struggling to obtain.

"Great!" Ling Xin was delighted and immediately had someone give Siyi a jade pendant.

Feng Xiran saw that it was a unique jade pendant with the character "Ling" engraved on it. With this pendant, Lord Siyi would have no trouble entering Tianfeng in the future without paying entry fees.

"Thank you, City Lord. I'll take my leave now."

He glanced at Mu Xin, did not linger, and left.

Seeing him go, Xue Chenxi couldn't help but tug on Ling Shuang's sleeve, trying to persuade her to keep him.

Feng Xiran wouldn't miss the opportunity to keep him around, and with Mu Xin in tow, she quickly tugged on Ling Xin's sleeve to keep him from leaving.

Ling Xin suggested they return early and offered to keep them for dinner.
