However, they knew that was impossible.
The personal maids Ye Yun currently had, Xia He and Qiu Lan, both possessed rare constitutions and were considered prodigies in their own right.
Most importantly, they grew up in the Ye Family, giving them a strong sense of belonging.
Someone like Yue Mingkong, the Ye Family wouldn't even consider.
This was mainly because Ye Yun requested it, so naturally, the Ye Family wouldn't say much.
But not just anyone could become a personal maid; it had to be someone Ye Yun truly needed.
With such a good family background, Ye Yun could have any beautiful fairy he wanted, but he desired more than just a pretty face.
Ideally, the person would be Fortune's Daughter, whom he could cultivate by his side and conveniently gain Fate Points from—simply perfect.
If it weren't for Yue Mingkong being Fortune's Daughter, Ye Yun wouldn't have even considered her.
Even Xia He and Qiu Lan were in no way inferior to Yue Mingkong in terms of figure and appearance, and in some areas, they were even better.
At this moment, Yun Yao's voice suddenly came through.
"Yun, why are you so late?"
Hearing the voice, Ye Yun turned around to see his mother, Yun Yao, looking at him.
"Mother, I had a little something to take care of earlier, so I'm a bit late, but this should be fine, right?"
Not knowing what her son was up to, Yun Yao, as a mother, didn't worry too much.
She gave Ye Yun a playful look.
"Alright, hurry and sit down. You're the main character today."
Ye Yun nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Mother."
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
Then, Ye Yun sat down next to Yun Yao.
The three personal maids stood behind Ye Yun.
Yun Yao glanced at the three maids, immediately noticing that Xia He seemed a bit different.
She could guess that Ye Yun and Xia He had probably developed a closer relationship.
But Yun Yao believed that Ye Yun should be a bit more careful, as the Ye Family Young Master shouldn't be indulging in women all the time.
"Yun, it's better to be cautious about some things. Don't indulge yourself too much, understand?"
Subtly bringing up the matter, Ye Yun understood that Yun Yao was reminding him to be careful.
Hearing this, Xia He knew it was about her, and her face turned crimson, almost burying her head in her chest.
Ye Yun discreetly glanced at Xia He, whose face was already flushed, and cleared his throat to cover his embarrassment.
"Ahem! Mother, I understand, I understand. We're outside, can we not talk about this?"
With so many people present, continuing this topic would be even more embarrassing.
Yun Yao, of course, knew there were many people around, so she didn't say more.
"Alright, let me say a few words first."
With that, Yun Yao slowly stood up from her seat.
Seeing Yun Yao stand up, no one dared to remain seated; they all stood up again.
They had to be careful not to offend her, or else... they would be in big trouble.
"Everyone, thank you for attending my son Yun's Recovery Feast. You all know about Yun's previous loss of control to demonic cultivation.
But my son Yun is blessed by the heavens, not only overcoming it but also advancing in his cultivation. This is a blessing for our Ye Family.
Today, feel free to drink to your heart's content. There's plenty of Immortal Wine. Everyone... let's begin!"
As Yun Yao's voice fell, it marked the official start of the banquet.
Ye Yun raised a cup of Immortal Wine and stood up, scanning the crowd below, and said loudly.
"Thank you all for your concern and welcome. I'll drink first as a toast; please enjoy yourselves."
With that, he downed the Immortal Wine in his cup.
The people below quickly stood up, raised their cups, and drank.
They wouldn't really enjoy themselves; it was better to be cautious in such situations.
Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble the Ye Family Young Master might cause?
Giving face was necessary; this was not the time to mess around.
Then, Ye Yun began to carefully observe the people below, naturally ignoring the older ones and focusing on the younger ones.
He wanted to see if he could find any Fortune's Son among the young people.
"Ding! Important supporting character discovered..."
"Ding!..."
Without looking closely, he wouldn't have noticed, but upon looking, he did find some things.
He discovered several important supporting characters, some of whom were somewhat related to Fortune's Son, or even directly connected.
These people also had some Fate Points, though compared to Fortune's Son, the amount was still far less.
Very few young people attended, mainly because each family feared their younger generation might cause trouble at the banquet, which would be really unfortunate.
So most sent family elders or sect leaders, which was respectful and avoided conflicts.
The young ones who did come mostly followed their family elders or sect leaders, mainly to gain experience and meet people from other forces.
If future cooperation was possible, it would be useful.
Ye Yun looked for a long time but regrettably didn't find any Fortune's Son.
It made sense; if Fortune's Son could be easily found, they would have all been nipped in the bud.
This world would certainly protect Fortune's Son as much as possible until their Fate Points were exhausted, showing some favoritism.
But it didn't matter; Ye Yun could still find information about Fortune's Son through these supporting characters.
He could take his time, no rush; as the saying goes, haste makes waste.
What's in the bowl won't run away; he could slowly savor it one by one.
In the banquet seating, Yue Feng repeatedly glanced at his daughter Yue Mingkong, hoping she would understand his intentions.
Unfortunately, they were quite far apart, and Yue Mingkong, having just made a mistake, dared not do anything out of line again.
If she really angered Ye Yun, Yue Mingkong feared she would be in serious trouble.
To be safe, Yue Mingkong deliberately avoided looking at her father to prevent such a situation.
But Ye Yun noticed Yue Feng frequently looking in his direction, or rather, at Yue Mingkong behind him.
Leaning back in his chair, Ye Yun gazed ahead and said calmly.
"Mingkong, it seems... your father wants to talk to you. Go ahead, I permit you to go."
