Who in the world does not know you?

Chapter 65 Having a good father is truly amazing

As evening approached and the sun set, the streets should have gradually fallen into a desolate and lonely state. However, the streets and alleys of Ningzhou Prefecture were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, presenting a lively and bustling scene.

Yun Luobai, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, led the limping Ye Zi out the door.

There were many pedestrians on the street, and many acquaintances he met on the way would take the initiative to greet Yun Luobai.

Ever since Yun Luobai bought his father a luxurious mansion, the passersby on the street have become increasingly enthusiastic towards him, even though these people can't benefit from his influence in any way.

"Oh my, Young Master Yun, are you going out to see the lantern festival? Whose daughter is this? She looks quite good standing next to you."

"Please don't say that. She's not good enough for me."

Upon hearing Yun Luobai's nonchalant reply, Ye Zi couldn't help but reach out and pinch Yun Luobai, who raised an eyebrow and pretended nothing had happened despite the pain.

After the middle-aged couple who were walking together had gone far away, Ye Zi snorted coldly and released her hand from Yun Luobai's waist.

Tell me, what is it about me that makes me unworthy of you?

"Everywhere...wait a minute, there are so many people outside, what kind of behavior is this...?"

Realizing that Ye Zi was about to use the same trick again, Yun Luobai hurriedly took a step to the side, putting some distance between herself and Ye Zi.

The streets were bustling with people, and the noise was far more intense than usual.

Ye Zi's gaze swept across the diverse crowd around her, and Yun Luobai, as she walked, somehow moved to her side again, getting very close to her.

"There are a lot of people, and you have trouble walking, so don't get separated from me."

"Why are you suddenly showing mercy to women?"

Yun Luobai looked around, then lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously to Ye Zi beside him.

"Actually, I'm worried that with so many people around, thieves might take advantage of the crowds to steal people's wallets. You know, these kinds of busy places are perfect for petty theft."

"..."

Ye Zi had nothing to say.

He already knew her true identity!

He did it on purpose! He deliberately provoked her!

Ye Zi felt a surge of anger welling up inside her, yet she had nowhere to vent it, making her feel like she was about to suffer internal injuries from holding it in.

"There's a fire-breathing show over there, come on, I'll take you to see it!"

Yun Luobai said this and walked forward on his own, without even looking at Ye Zi's expression.

He deliberately didn't go to see it, deliberately acted heartless, and deliberately made her angry.

Because he knew that at this moment she was helpless against him.

She must have ulterior motives for staying by his side while concealing her identity.

Now is not the time to tear off all ties.

If we're talking about the most bustling and prosperous area in Ningzhou Prefecture, Changle Street, where Yunfu is located, is definitely one of the top spots.

The meeting place for everyone every year is the crossroads in the middle of Changle Street. A stage is set up here every year, and folk artists spontaneously take the stage to perform. Opera troupes will sing operas, and there will also be acrobatics and martial arts performances. The audience can give tips freely. Even if each person only gives a few coins, considering the large number of people, the performers will receive a very generous income in the end.

When Yun Luobai and Ye Zi arrived at the crossroads where the stage had been set up, Ning Qi had already been waiting for them in the southeast direction for quite some time.

Even amidst the throngs of people around him, his constable attire was incredibly conspicuous, and coupled with his square face and bushy beard that belied his actual age, it was difficult to ignore him.

When Yun Luobai and Ye Zi saw Ning Qi, the latter also saw them.

The beloved constable Ning was so happy that he raised his arms and waved them at the two men, shouting loudly, which was completely unrelated to the word "civilized".

"Second brother, you're here! I'm right here!"

Ning Qi's voice was as rugged as his appearance. Yun Luobai and Ye Zi quickly came closer, which made Ning Qi stop shouting.

"Brother, why are you still wearing a constable's uniform tonight?"

"I'm used to wearing it, and if there's any emergency, the people around me can recognize me by my clothes and ask for help easily. The constables are scattered all over the place, but the Spring Ning Lantern Festival is an important day in Ningzhou Prefecture. Those petty thieves are also local kids who know that people are mainly happy today. Even if they can't help but do some petty theft, they won't go too far."

"There might be some petty thieves from out of town here..."

Yun Luobai muttered to himself, and noticing the sharp gaze directed at him by Ye Zi, he quickly changed the subject.

"Where's Qingchuan?"

"He's bringing his whole family along; he's quite the showman. You'll see him soon enough. Young Master Qing is so famous; he always has to make a grand entrance. Look, here he is!"

Ning Qi pointed into the distance, and Yun Luobai and Ye Zi looked in the direction he pointed. They saw that the dense crowd had receded like a tide, and a large group of people appeared in front of them from around the corner.

The man in the lead, holding a white paper fan, was handsome and dashing; he was none other than Qingchuan, the eldest son of General Yunque's mansion.

The steward Lanxiang and her personal maid Luoxin stood on the left and right, respectively, while a large number of followers gathered behind them. From a distance, there were at least a thousand people, which was quite impressive.

"There are so many people?"

Ye Zi couldn't help but speak up, but Yun Luobai's gaze was drawn to the attendants dressed in plain clothes.

"Not only that, but many of them should be from military backgrounds."

"Yes. The eight hundred soldiers stationed outside the city are under the command of the General's Mansion. Judging from the current situation, the Third Prince has sent them all to enjoy the Spring Ning Lantern Festival. These eight hundred soldiers seem to be obeying the General's orders, but in reality, they are a protective talisman left to the Third Prince by General Yun Que... The current dynasty has explicitly prohibited officials from privately stationing troops. If it weren't for General Yun Que's long-term dedication and meritorious service in guarding the border, the court probably wouldn't have approved it..."

"Having a good dad is really amazing..."

Ye Zi sighed, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Qingchuan brought a large number of people, and the other people dared not approach due to the power of the General's Mansion, which made the already crowded streets even more congested.

Fortunately, Qingchuan was not an unreasonable and domineering young master. When he saw Ning Qi and the other two, he waved casually behind him and then walked over quickly. The servants and guards in the mansion behind him then dispersed to enjoy this hard-won moment of comfort.

Lanxiang and Luoxin stopped in front of a small stall on the side of the street, and very tacitly did not go forward with Qingchuan.

Qingchuan had a close personal relationship with Ning Qi and others, and this was a time when he could briefly shed his noble status as the young master of the General's Mansion and enjoy precious time, so the two of them naturally wouldn't disturb him.

"As expected of the eldest son of the General's Mansion, what a grand display."

Yun Luobai spoke first, while Qingchuan lightly fanned himself with a paper fan, humming with a leisurely and smug air.

"Then you see, what kind of person I am? I can turn the world upside down with a mere gesture. Do you understand?"

Yun Luobai nodded in agreement, then turned his head to the side and uttered two words indifferently.

"Third brother."

Upon hearing this, Qingchuan immediately flew into a rage.

"You! Yun Luobai, do you dare to fight me?!"

"We won't fight; we can't beat the third brother."

Qingchuan's face turned ashen, while Ye Zi, standing to the side, burst out laughing.

She really liked the atmosphere.
