Li Weichen’s eyes rolled, and he smiled, “Perhaps some noble is oppressing the sect, or oppressing the common people. Master Qingtian can’t handle it, so he’s asking the Prince and Young Master Qin for help.”
He had long been displeased with these two “temple guardians” who prevented him from having opportunities.
Unexpectedly, Huangfu Zeduan just snorted and didn’t move.
Ye Hui looked at her first husband with watery, plaintive eyes.
A woman’s true advantage lies in subduing strength with tenderness, which was her cleverness and the ultimate weapon of those femme fatales in history. Ye Hui never thought of becoming a femme fatale; having been a commoner in her previous life, she understood that sense of helplessness.
Huangfu Zeduan stood up, snatched a grilled eggplant from his wife’s hand, and ate it whole. Smiling, he said, “Wife, wait for me. Don’t eat everything.”
Ye Hui gave him a sidelong glance: “Do you think I’m a pig?”
“A cute little pig,” Huangfu Zeduan told the tenth and eleventh juniors below to “Protect the madam” and laughed as he walked out of the bamboo forest.
Li Weichen saw the other man still sitting steadily and smiled, “I think the situation must be serious. Otherwise, Master Qingtian wouldn’t trouble the two top experts of Tianying Gate. The Prince alone can’t handle everything, and someone might get hurt.”
“Wife, I’ll be right back,” Qin Yuhang understood the roundabout way of driving him away and had to stand up from the felt mat, catching up with the gradually distancing Huangfu Zeduan.
“Thank you, Mistress,” Facai looked like a prisoner escaping a concentration camp, finally showing a relieved expression.
“Tell me, what happened?” Ye Hui asked calmly.
“Mistress, do you remember the Sha State King and his daughter, the Xilin County Lord, who came to Pingzhou as refugees back then?”
The Xilin County Lord was a thorn in Facai’s heart, and he would feel both hatred and fear whenever he recalled the previous humiliation.
“Xilin County Lord?”
“Yes, that seductive demon,” Facai gritted his teeth. Ye Hui’s bright eyes moved: “You seem very afraid of her?”
