"What's the matter? Just say it." Yun Lintian sat on the chair and yawned. He looked at Feng Yi opposite him impatiently. 

Feng Yi poured himself a cup of tea and said with a smile, "I'll be frank then. Since Young Master Ye is considered a member of the Ye clan, I wonder if we can cooperate in business?"

Yun Lintian frowned and spoke coldly, "Are you mocking me? You've known that I'm just a mere illegitimate son of that man. Do you think I have the authority?" He narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, your Feng clan is engaging in the food industry. Why don't you find the Wang clan instead? They're clearly the better choice."

Feng Yi's heart skipped a beat and thought, this bastard shouldn't have known about it, right? He forced a smile and appeared pitiful. "It's not that we didn't try before. As you know, they're considering as a giant in this circle. Do you think they would lower themselves to cooperate with a puny clan like us?"

Before Yun Lintian could talk, Feng Yi said further, "Young Master Ye should know about the crops' problem recently, right?" Seeing Yun Lintian nodded, he continued, "To tell you the truth, my father wants to divide the cake from the Wang clan, and your Ye clan's restaurant business is the best choice in his opinion."

Yun Lintian pretended to have a bit of interest in this matter as he fell into silence, weighing his choices. 

Believing Yun Lintian was convinced, Feng Yi tried to hit the nail. "Are you going to let the Wang clan devour everything? Why don't you use this chance to prove yourself to Patriarch Ye?"

Yun Lintian breathed heavily as he finally 'convinced' and replied, "You're right, Brother Feng! Let's say, how are you going to cooperate?"

Feng Yi snickered in his heart and thought this bastard in front of him was an idiot. He smiled faintly and explained, "I presume Brother Ye didn't know much about the Imperial City's current situation… Because the food shortages are happening everywhere throughout the entire Sky Fall Nation, the Wang clan is planning to use this chance to sweep everyone out of the board and monopolizing the food supplies by themselves."

Feng Yi said this because he believed Yun Lintian had interrogated Wu Zuo before and presumed Yun Lintian knew about the Wang clan's needs. Hence, he revealed a bit of the Wang clan's conspiracy to gain Yun Lintian's trust.

Apparently, Yun Lintian was 'convinced' as he said, "This Wang clan is so despicable!… You're right, Brother Feng. We can't let them do this! If Brother Feng has a suggestion, please tell me quickly."

Seeing Yun Lintian became polite, Feng Yi laughed coldly inwardly. Without a doubt, this bastard in front of him was an idiot.

Feng Yi wore a heavy expression. "May I know if Brother Ye has a way to contact your clan?"

Yun Lintian replied hurriedly, "Of course, I do have. However, it's inconvenient right now." He squinted his eyes and asked coldly, "Why? You don't trust me?"

Feng Yi quickly waved his hand, "No, No. You get me wrong, Brother Ye. I asked this because my plan needs to execute at a precise moment on both sides."

"Oh? Why don't you tell me then?" Yun Lintian asked and volunteered to pour tea for Feng Yi.

Feng Yi received the cup and said, "Brother Ye, what is the best way to deal a huge blow on the Wang clan, in your opinion?"

Yun Lintian's brows creased together and pondered over the matter for a while before he answered uncertainly, "Cutting their supply… maybe?"

Feng Yi cursed in his heart… Isn't it obvious? Even a three-year-old kid can think of this. He shook his head and said, "You're right, but…." 

"See!? I am right!" Before Feng Yi could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Yun Lintian's loud exclamation.

Looking at Yun Lintian's silly smirk as though he was proud of his cleverness, Feng Yi was uncertain and complained in his heart… Why am I wasting my time scheming against this idiot? If I know about this, I would've captured him directly without going through this kind of meaningless conversation.

Swoosh!

Just as Feng Yi was about to say further, he saw Yun Huanxin suddenly appeared in the room out of nowhere, making him startled, unable to think of anything.

"You…" Feng Yi uttered in confusion as he tried to figure out the identity of this young girl before him.

"Eh? Did I come at the wrong time?" Yun Huanxin looked at Yun Lintian and Feng Yi with her big rounded eyes, appearing cute.

Yun Lintian put his silly smirk away, returning to his usual calm, and said, "You are late, Huanxin. You don't know what torments I have gone through during this period."

Feng Yi was even more confused. His eyes kept darting between Yun Lintian and Yun Huanxin as a bad premonition appeared in his heart.

"Oh? What makes our Sect Master suffering?" Yun Huanxin inquired playfully while covering the entire courtyard with an isolation barrier.

Yun Lintian spread his arms helplessly. "You see, I have to listen to this smartass' nonsenses for several minutes… Ah, what a pain."

Yun Huanxin chuckled at Yun Lintian's act as though he was suffered aggrievedly. 

Feng Yi knew something terrible was about to happen. He circulated his profound energy and tried to rush out of the courtyard… But how could Yun Huanxin let him escape?

Yun Huanxin waved her hand gently, and Feng Yi immediately felt the surrounding space became solid all of a sudden, restricting his entire beings on the spot.

Yun Qianxue, who paid her attention to Yun Lintian for all this time, came out of the bedroom without wearing the veil and walked to Yun Lintian's side.

At this moment, Feng Yi could only move his eyes. When he saw Yun Qianxue's celestial countenance, his breath became erratic. For all his life, he never saw anyone who could surpass Yun Qianxue in terms of beauty.

"Tsk! Even at this moment, you still have an unhealthy idea? I am totally convinced." Yun Lintian said sarcastically when he saw lustful desires in Feng Yi's eyes.
