The Spirit World

Chapter 235: Zebra crossings are the standard for dividing accident responsibilities and cannot allow people to be reborn.

Chang Yufeng returned home and began to plan how to deal with Rosades' banquet.

Just as he thought, it was legitimate.

He was going to accept Rosades' invitation to dinner precisely because of the invitation card he was holding in his hand.

The invitation was divided into two parts, one was the invitation from the Rosades Mansion, and the other was a stone with the Rosades family crest printed on it - a black horse looking back with its head held high.

As long as you have this black horse-patterned stone in your hands, it means that you are a member of the Rosades family.

Chang Yufeng didn't expect that Rosades would be so direct and bring him into his sphere of influence.

No, no, no, to say that the sphere of influence is too abrupt and mundane, it should be said that Rosades's little calculations are very clear. Now as long as Chang Yufeng possesses this patterned stone, he can be "identified" by others as a person belonging to Rosades.

Is there any mystery in this?

"Huh, this guy."

Xunhuangying seemed to see that Rosades was indeed planning something. This was an open conspiracy that needed to be guarded against. Xunhuangying had seen it a lot and felt a little disdainful.

Xun Huangying felt uncomfortable, as if he had been bought and sold a mark that belonged to someone else. Although Chang Yufeng knew that there might be such a reason that made the horse-patterned stone so dazzling, he still had to think calmly about what he should do next to prevent certain things from happening.

"They're treating us like their own people. I can't help but feel impatient."

Xun Huangying looked at the stone with horse pattern. The Rosades family emblem made his eyes blink continuously. It was naturally impossible for Xun Huangying to "belong" to humans, and his disdain was evident in his words.

"It is indeed a bit urgent. It won't be too late to do this at the banquet tomorrow when the commission is officially handed over to us."

Chang Yufeng was a little confused. Rosades could just give him an invitation. The family crest stone should not appear in his hands.

"Could it be that we will be targeted by his enemies?"

Xunhuangying told the possibilities he had guessed.

"Or is it that he is really just too innocent and kind? He is so open and unreserved towards us?"

"Or maybe, the commission we accepted is being fought over by another hostile force, and we are just, the victims?"

Chang Yufeng listened carefully to Xun Huangying's analysis and shook his head. This was what he meant by not knowing. However, in Xun Huangying's view, Chang Yufeng's not knowing was not a clear not knowing, but an not knowing in doubt.

In other words, all speculations are possible.

"According to the information I have, Rosades lost his father at a young age and had a daughter in his middle age. He is known for his steadiness and prudence. He was given a title at a very young age. In recent years, he was promoted to Viscount. He was granted the title of Viscount by Lord Longxu himself and settled in Wenti County."

"I would rather believe that Rosades is very simple, but that is impossible. Those who can be promoted by personal ability usually have some real skills. It is almost impossible for those who are just doing nothing or have connections to hide it for so long."

Chang Yufeng was "vindicating" Rosades: "Let me put it this way. I would rather believe that Victoria was involved in this commission. However, I can't understand why the letters with Victoria were taken as the object of investigation. This is too risky and even a mistake that should not have happened."

"To be honest, Rosades has made at least two mistakes. Both of them are fatal."

Xun Huangying did not tell Chang Yufeng what the two mistakes he had judged were. No matter what, Xun Huangying had never had direct contact with Rosades, but there was no need to doubt Xun Huangying's ability. Thinking carefully about what Rosades had done, it was indeed a bit hasty.

"In fact, if we don't want to be so detailed, it's understandable that Rosades gave us his own family crest stone. After all, we will hear the content of the commission tomorrow."

Chang Yufeng still thought about the matter from the simplest perspective, although he did not rule out the possibility that Rosades thought more deeply and complicatedly.

"If there is any positioning magic on this veined stone, then our guess can still be discussed. However, we did not detect any positioning magic. I have to wonder if we are being too suspicious."

"How is that possible! You've lost your mind, idiot!"

Xun Huangying jumped up from the bed.

He and Chang Yufeng shared the same bed. On such a hot day, Xun Huangying's wool was too hot. He looked like he was wearing a sweater and had to expose his belly like a quilt. His wool "trouser legs" were rolled up, and his head was covered with braids, making him look like a noble lady from nowhere. There was a piece of ice in the room, but it was still terribly hot.

The chirping of cicadas and the snoring of resting cattle and sheep at night can also make people feel irritated. In fact, the family did not sleep. Rajel and Alia were doing accounts in the living room, Lin'er was practicing in the room, and Erica was reading a book next to her.

The sounds of flipping pages, the quill swish of accounting pens, and the twinkling of fireflies add to the tranquility of a summer night. Even a sheep jumping up from the bed makes such a noise that everyone in the house can feel it.

"Oh, stop dreaming."

Xun Huangying blew the sheep braids in front of his eyes, revealing his clear big eyes.

"You just accepted a commission, why would I give you the family crest stone? Doesn't this designate you as Rosades's own? Who would do that?"

"I think if I were an ordinary child, I wouldn't think so far. But, from what I see now, this is indeed very weird."

Chang Yufeng heard footsteps coming from the room opposite. It must be Erica coming over.

He looked at the door, waiting for Erica to come.

As he expected, Erica knocked on the door, opened it without waiting for his response, and revealed a pair of big, puzzled eyes.

"Brother? What's wrong?"

Erica looked at Xun Huangying who had tied her hair into a braid, and an inexplicable excitement flashed in her eyes, but she did not enter the room. Instead, she only showed half of her head, blinking, and her long golden-white hair hung straight down, like flowing light under the glowing crystal.

"fine."

Chang Yufeng shook his head.

Erica looked at him suspiciously and closed the door.

Chang Yufeng watched Erica close the door and fell into deep thought for a moment.

"Would he want something? From us?"

What he said did not leave Xunhuangying confused, but instead made him fall into deep thought.

"If you think like that, then what can he gain from us?" Xun Huangying couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Does he really want me to be a god who can listen to other people's prayers and fulfill their wishes?"

He said this helplessly, but his face was gloomy and he couldn't break away from his deep thoughts.

"A peasant child obtained a noble family crest stone, which means that he was tacitly accepted as a member of the outside of the noble family. This sounds like a kind of..."

Chang Yufeng was struggling over whether to say this word.

"A gift?"

When he said it, his doubts intensified.

"In that case, what does he want from us? This must come at a price, either now or later."

Xun Huangying also slightly agreed with Chang Yufeng's words.

After all, if someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

Ah... I'm looking for a job. I can't afford to make a living from writing. I'll starve to death.
