Feng Yucheng’s actions were one step ahead of his mind. He cupped his fist and bowed. “Feng Yucheng pays his respects to the State Preceptor.”

The other guests in the Nanfeng Pavilion who had been watching the merriment also came back to their senses, instantly falling to their knees and paying homage!

“...”

Li Ruoxuan’s eyes were half-closed and his expression was restrained as he looked at Jiang Yeqian without an ounce of emotion. Then, he widened his eyes and said with a hint of mockery playing on the corners of his lips, “For the Head Grand Secretariat to wear a mask and sneak to the Nanfeng Pavilion, could it be that he has taken a fancy to one of the escorts?!”

Everyone inside the hall of Nanfeng Pavilion, “...”

An invisible pressure in the air gradually spread out.

Everyone felt like their breathing was about to stop.

They were all unable to think anymore.

The State Preceptor? The Head Grand Secretariat? They both patronized the Nanfeng Pavilion? What was the meaning of this?

Feng Yucheng was also utterly stupefied and was unable to utter a single word.

He tried very hard to come back to his senses before he addressed the masked man again.

“My respects to the Head Grand Secretariat.”

Jiang Yeqian knew that he had been hasty and eager to embarrass Li Ruoxuan but he did not think that he would be dragged down together. Jiang Yeqian’s expression was dark under his mask and his voice became icy.

“Everyone else, get lost!”

Seeing the situation, the guests of the Nanfeng Pavilion knew they could no longer have fun that night. However, it was a big deal to see both the State Preceptor and the Head Grand Secretariat patronizing the Nanfeng Pavilion, so it did not matter whether they were able to have fun or not.

Seeing that the guests had dispersed, the young servers hurried back to the back courtyard.

As the boss of the Nanfeng Pavilion, Feng Yucheng did not dare leave even if he wanted to. He stood where he was, calming thinking about how to end the current situation. These two moguls would not possibly start a fight in Nanfeng Pavilion now, would they?

Qi Qingyao stood behind Li Ruoxuan and shrugged her shoulders. She looked at the two men squaring off and figured that it had nothing to do with her anyway. She had to slip away quickly!

The moment she turned around and took two steps.

Jiang Yeqian’s deep gaze caught the escaping person.

He called out.

“You. Stay.”

Who?

He was not referring to her, right?

Qi Qingyao continued walking and, in the next second, someone grabbed the back of her collar and pulled her in between the two.

Qi Qingyao, “...”

Jiang Yeqian, this idiot. He stirred up trouble on his own which led Li Ruoxuan to not let him escape with his dignity either and expose his identity too. Why would he ask her to stay now? Was it to persuade them not to fight?

Jiang Yeqian and Li Ruoxuan stared at each other. They looked at each other expressionlessly, as if they were going to swallow each other alive.

“Why should I stay?”

As she whispered this, Qi Qingyao looked at two men who were exuding a very strange atmosphere. She paused before joking innocently, “Head Grand Secretariat, you really like the State Preceptor a lot. You haven’t looked for a girlfriend for so many years, could you secretly be in love with the State Preceptor? And you even chased him to the Nanfeng Pavilion! You’re too infatuated.”

Jiang Yeqian, “...”

Li Ruoxuan turned his neck stiffly to look at her. He looked appalled. “I think you’ve drunk too much!!”

Feng Yucheng was also stunned by these words.

Qi Qingyao continued on as if it were true.

“Are you an idiot? How could I have drunk too much?”

Then, without waiting for either to explain, she analyzed the situation aloud.

“He purposefully chased after you all the way to the establishment this evening. Such infatuation is really moving!

“Think about when we were in Qingzhou City, why would he be following along every time you came to my house? Think about it now, tut tut!

“You two are usually mortal enemies but when you two tried to test Si Jin that time, you both put your heads together to tackle the problem! You tested Si Jin together and, in the end, one of you was crippled and the other blinded!”

“Does this still not prove that he loves you?”

“If your love is so great, you should express it quickly. Boss Feng and I will help be witness to the great, earth-shaking love between you two!”

She urged Jiang Yeqian to hurry up and confess sincerely.

Jiang Yeqian, “...”

Li Ruoxuan, “...”

Feng Yucheng, “...”

After Jiang Yeqian recovered from the shock from listening to her logic, he could not help losing control. “You’re utterly crazy! This is the type of nonsense you can only spout when it’s midnight.”

Qi Qingyao asked dismissively, “Then, tell us, why did you come here in the middle of the night?”

Jiang Yeqian was speechless.

Qi Qingyao added firmly, “Don’t deny it!”

Feng Yucheng did not dare breathe. He felt that he would need a long time to digest whatever happened tonight. He stood at the side, trying to shrink his presence, but his upturned ears betrayed his curiosity to what exactly was going on.

Li Ruoxuan was the target of love based on Qi Qingyao’s story, so he did not need to make a statement.

Jiang Yeqian was getting embarrassed.

He was on the receiving end of Feng Yucheng’s attention and Qi Qingyao’s “solemn” gaze.

He had no way of backtracking.

If he did not confess, then he would have to come up with an excuse.

Did he have to reveal that he liked this woman?

As if!

This fool!

Jiang Yeqian said heavily, “Alright, I confess!”

Li Ruoxuan raised his eyebrows and his expression suddenly darkened. “Jiang Yeqian, I think you must be drunk too.”

“I like you, State Preceptor!” Jiang Yeqian suddenly came forward and grabbed Li Ruoxuan’s robes. His gaze under the mask was particularly fierce.

Then he quickly released his grip.

At the same time he cursed lowly, “F*ck this!!”

He immediately turned around and left the Nanfeng pavilion, steaming with murderous intent.

Zhao Xin gulped and hurried after him.

QI Qingyao clutched her chest and said to Li Ruoxuan excitedly.

“He admitted it! He admitted that he loves you. Oh my god, what kind of earth-shattering love is this?!”

Pretending to be overwhelmed, she said, “The State Preceptor and Head Grand Secretariat. If the two of you are together...”

Li Ruoxuan’s expression was as black as the bottom of a pot. He turned to look at the little woman with her exaggerated expression.

“Shut up!”

Qi Qingyao shrugged. Pressing her lips together, she whispered, “He already confessed yet you’re actually not going to accept him? Where’s your humanity? He is even more handsome than you.”

Li Ruoxuan was at a loss for words.

He did not want to remain in Nanfeng Pavilion for a second longer.

So he strode out with large steps.

Qi Qingyao looked at his conflicted resolution and hurriedly caught up with a smile.

They left the Nanfeng Pavilion.

After walking a certain distance, Qi Qingyao deliberately joked again.

“Is it because you don’t wish to fight the empress for him?”

Li Ruoxuan suddenly came to a halt. Qi QIngyao did not manage to stop and rammed into his back directly. She felt like she almost broke her nose.

His face stretched tautly, Li Ruoxuan said, “I have nothing to say to you.”

Qi Qingyao rubbed her nose, her eyes tearing up. She said innocently, “How can I leave someone this speechless?”

Not able to help himself any longer, he said, “He likes you and follows you, not me, you idiot!”

The moment he said this...

Li Ruoxuan felt a conflicted feeling rise in his heart.

He thought that Qi Qingyao would be surprised once he revealed this, and she would take his words into serious consideration and start thinking earnestly about Jiang Yeqian.

To his surprise, the little woman in front of him continued rubbing her nose before speaking calmly.

“State Preceptor, you also said you like me. What’s the difference? “They all wanted to use her as a springboard to take advantage of Si Jin.

Li Ruoxuan, “...” That was a rational call!

Qi Qingyao casually punctured some reality. “All the words spoken by the upper-class politicians are lies. I don’t need him to tell me straightforwardly that he wants to use me. I’m not stupid, thank you!”

Li Ruoxuan, “...”

He had constantly been thinking of forcing Jiang Yeqian to speak his mind because he wanted to see if he actually liked Qi Qingyao, or if he was just afraid that he would fall behind in case Qi Qingyao also started developing feelings.

Jiang Yeqian would then be able to borrow Qi Qingyao’s hand to manipulate the puppet that is Si Jin.

Now, however, he really did not expect…

To think that this little woman would be as firm and indifferent as a block of wood.

She was too rational.

She was so rational that he wanted to spit blood on behalf of Jiang Yeqian.

Hold on...

For a little woman who was so rational, could she possibly be staying with him on purpose just to scheme against him?

After all, it would be easy to draw trouble if she operated in the capital at Lu Yan’s place. On the contrary, if she were to put up with the State Preceptor’s presence, no one in the entire capital would dare provoke her…

Aware of this now, Li Ruoxuan stared at her for half a beat.

“Are you scheming against me?!”

He ended up asking this aloud.

Qi Qingyao’s eyes widened before she rolled them at him. “Scheming what?”

“You’re thinking of using my influence to help yourself get a foothold in Capital City!” said Li Ruoxuan.

“That would be untrue.”

“Then, why did you choose to stay in my home?”

“Of course, it’s because I like you!” Qi QIngyao said with a fake smile.

Li Ruoxuan, “...”

Like…you…

He knew that the little woman’s words were jokes to mess with him, but for some reason, Li Ruoxuan somehow felt himself to be slightly convinced at this second!

Aware that his heart had skipped a beat, he thought to himself bitterly.

F*ck!

This little woman was adept at using her good looks!

‘You’re messing with me, I see! Then, you had better wait and see.’

‘You blockhead, I will get you into the palm of my hand and then kick you to the ground! We’ll see how you cry and beg me, you self-righteous little b*tch.’
