It was sunny the next day. Ye Fengyun had prepared a convoy early in the morning. Among them, there were four carriages for transporting ores, and one was for passengers, where Ye Lingyue was sitting at.
Big Uncle was thoughtful. He considered it that it was Ye Lingyue's first trip; he was afraid that she would not feel comfortable.
Ye Sheng was not so lucky. He ordered him to ride a horse ahead and scout the road.
Ye Lingyue got on the carriage and looked at the convoy. She realized that the people with the convoy were all elites of the Ye family—the worst of which was at the fourth level of body tempering. Aside from Ye Fengyun, there was another Postnatal master from the side family.
One could regard such a convoy line-up as the best.
They were transporting 60% dark ironstones and a small amount of Dark Yin Jade ores. It was no wonder Ye Gu and Ye Fengyun placed so much importance on it.
Not long after the Ye family's convoy left Autumn Maple town, the Song family heard about the news.
"Ye Fengyun set out with his convoy. It's strange. Isn't the Seven Northern Hill mine in a total wreck? So where did the Ye family get the iron ores to sell?" Upon hearing such news, it puzzled Song Wanshi and his sons.
"Perhaps it's some ores in stock from the past years. Master, don't worry. I have eyes and ears in the city. I'll know as soon as I ask around." Master Lian did not think that the Ye family could use the rusty dark iron ores.
"Father, I heard that the foolish girl who caused Second Brother's death is also with them. Do you want me to kill her?" Song Guangyi had been brooding over the death of his second brother.
"Why do you have to do it by yourself and get blood on your hands? She's just a cheap bastard. We can just spend some money and let someone cripple her dantian, sell her to the brothel as a prostitute, and then humiliate the Ye family," Song Wanshi said in a gloomy tone. There were many people at the fifth level of body tempering in the county city.
It would be easy to get rid of that bastard from the Ye family when Ye Fengyun and the others are not paying attention to her, and that could also humiliate the Ye family. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
"Father is wise. I'll do it now." Song Guangyi hurriedly went to carry it out.
Without her realizing it, Ye Lingyue had been reborn for over four months. It was almost midsummer and the weather was getting hotter day by day.
Ye Fengyun set out in the morning when it was cooler. At noon, when the sun was high, Ye Lingyue was fine in the carriage. But Ye Sheng, who was in charge of scouting the road in the front, was not so lucky.
Taking advantage of Ye Fengyun not paying much attention, Ye Sheng snuck into Ye Lingyue's carriage.
"Wow, Cousin. Why is it so cool in your carriage?" Ye Sheng's throat felt parched from the heat, but as soon as he got into the carriage, he felt cool.
At a closer look, he found that Ye Lingyue had placed a pot of frozen grass on the carriage. There was a small table with a bowl of fresh fruits and a pot of iced green bean with lily bulb soup atop it, too. It looked very comforting.
"It's all thanks to the frozen grass Big Cousin gave me. Come, eat some melon." Ye Lingyue handed Ye Sheng a white melon. Ye Sheng took a bite and sweet melon juice filled his mouth.
"Delicious. Where did you buy this melon? I'll ask the yard to buy some back." Ye Sheng had never eaten such a delicious white melon before. The heat in his body disappeared and he felt more energetic.
Ye Lingyue's lips curled up. She had grown the white melons in Hongmeng Sanctuary herself, and no one could find it elsewhere. If Ye Sheng was not her relative, it would be rare for him to eat such a melon.
Just then, Ye Fengyun was shouting for Ye Sheng from outside and Ye Sheng quickly went out.
It turned out that Ye Fengyun decided to take a rest under a shade by the river since it was too hot. He planned to set out in the afternoon.
The convoy stopped and Ye Lingyue got out of the carriage to get some air.
A wide river with reeds on both sides of it was ahead of them. Some gray ducks were playing by the river, too.
A few days ago, it had rained so the river was full. In the middle of the river, several boats were floating along with the fast current.
"Oh no! Someone fell into the water." There was a sudden cry from the river.
Ye Lingyue looked up and saw that someone fell into the river from a boat carved with a dragon and phoenix.
Ye Lingyue saw that the moment they fell into the water, a suspicious figure flashed by on the boat.
Then several people jumped off the boat.
But the current was too fast! It even took them 15 minutes to get the person out of the water.
It was a chaotic mess on the boat and she could faintly hear shouts of 'help' and 'find a doctor.'
The boat anchored to the bank of the river and several people came down from the boat in a panic. One of them was an elegant old man in a yellow shirt. When he saw the people from the Ye Family, he hurried forward to ask for help.
"Do you have a doctor among you? Our Prin… Young Master fell into the water and drowned. Does anyone know first aid?"
"Old Sir, there is a doctor in our team, but he only knows how to treat physical injuries." When Ye Fengyun saw the old man's dressing, he knew that they must be rich people from the city, and it would not be good to offend them.
Ye Fengyun and the others had a monumental task, so even the doctor of the Ye family came with them.
They invited the doctor to the boat and soon he came down, shaking his head.
"It's been 15 minutes since he drowned. We can't save him."
"Big Uncle, I've seen a method on how to save a drowning person from a book. Why don't you let me have a try?" Ye Lingyue spoke from the side.
"Lingyue, can you do it?" Ye Fengyun guessed that the status of the people on the boat was not so simple. He was a little worried and afraid that Ye Lingyue would get into trouble.
"If you know a way, Miss. Please try it. We can't let anything happen to our Young Master." The old man saw that Ye Lingyue was young, and he had some doubts in his heart.
But his Young Master had drowned and was in critical danger. Since Ye Lingyue claimed she had a way, the old man in yellow would grasp at straws and ultimately decided to let her have a try.
"Big Cousin, go up with me." Ye Lingyue shot Ye Sheng a look and both of them followed the old man up the boat.
After they had entered the cabin of the boat, Ye Lingyue caught a whiff of the pleasant smell of incense. The decorations around were all exquisite and it seemed like the status of the man who had fallen into the water was far from normal.
There was a bed in front which the bodyguards and attendants surrounded, and on top of it lay a person.
"There should be a sufficient supply of air around the drowned person. Those that are irrelevant, please ask them to go out." There was an irresistible power in Ye Lingyue's voice. Hearing this, the old man in the yellow shirt hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat out.
Ye Lingyue and Ye Sheng then saw how the 'unlucky Young Master' looked like.
She thought that the unlucky man would look like he had a short life, but as she looked, it turned out that he was a sturdy man like Ye Sheng and could not help but think that he was handsome.
They considered Ye Lingyue as a beautiful woman, but the man on the bed was a celestial being. This young master was not old and was, at best, a teenager.
He was about sixteen or seventeen years old; he had long, black eyebrows; slender and sharp eyes; straight and long nose; full lips; and his skin was fair that all his pores are closed. It was as if he had never been under the sun.
There was a small cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye, which set off his handsome face and gave him a charming air.
