2254 That Won’t Do
Voices continued to come from the house.
“What? That kid still dares to covet our Xiao Ba?!” San San laughed. “Who doesn’t know that our Xiao Ba always walks past the garden but doesn’t stain herself? What is she thinking?”
Yan Qing’s brows twitched.
Chu Liuyue’s tone was light. “Xiao Ba is born beautiful and is the highlight no matter where she goes. There are so many people who like her, and there’s nothing surprising about it.”
“Master, what did Xiao Ba say then?”
“What else could she say? That Liang He is indeed okay in other areas, but his looks are average, so Xiao Ba did not take a fancy to him.”
“Tsk, her standards are so high—I think very few people can reach that! Hey, Master, that Liang He didn’t do anything outrageous, right? In this day and age, there are many perverts! What if he likes her but can’t get her and does something to Xiao Ba—”
Yan Qing looked down, and a cold gleam flashed across his eyes.
“With Cen Yi and the rest around, who could bully Xiao Ba? However, Xiao Ba did anger him and caused him to run away in two or three sentences.”
San San: “Huh? What did she say?”
Chu Liuyue’s voice had laughter. “Nothing much really. She just said that she already has someone she likes and that if Liang He insists, she could consider taking him in as a concubine.”
Yan Qing looked up, and his gaze was cold.
“Pfft—” Tang Ke—who was sipping on tea to suppress his shock—directly spat out a mouthful of tea.
Su Li’s eyes lit up, and she gently sighed. “Hm? She can do this? Miss Xiao Ba is indeed different!”
Before Chu Liuyue could say anything, she heard San San say definitely, “What else can she not do? With Xiao Ba’s personality, she can really do such a thing.”
“San San—” Chu Liuyue dragged her words for emphasis.
“Master, I’m speaking the truth! In the past, Xiao Ba said that, and Big Brother supports her very much. If you don’t trust me, why don’t you ask Big Brother?”
Chu Liuyue: “…That won’t be necessary.”
She didn’t want to discuss this matter with Cen Yi now.
Yan Qing held his breath in, suppressed his overwhelming heart, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Knock, knock.
“Come in.” As Chu Liuyue spoke, she looked at the door.
Those who would come at this point should only be those few people.
The door opened and revealed a handsome and cold face.
The corner of her lips curled up. As expected.
“Yan Qing, why did you come?”
Yan Qing cupped his fists. “Princess Consort, a guest came for you.”
“Guest?” Chu Liuyue was dazed. “Who is it?”
Swoosh!
The sound of the bone fan opening pierced through the air. Following that, a familiar figure walked out from behind Yan Qing.
It was a young man who looked like he was 28 or 29, decked in a long-green robe with a white jade belt around his waist to outline his long and tall figure.
He was handsome, and there was nothing to pick about his five features, especially when he had a pair of blue eyes.
He was so clean and transparent, like an icicle gleaming with a cold light. There was a relaxed smile on his lips, and his eyes looked playful. “Your Highness, long time no see.”
“Jian Fengchi?” Chu Liuyue looked surprised.
She had indeed not seen Jian Fengchi in a very long time. However, Jian Fengchi didn’t look like he changed much from before, and only his surrounding aura was much stronger.
Clearly, he had also broken through to become a true god.
“I recalled that you went to Ling Xiao Academy previously? Why are you here?”
Jian Fengchi sighed. “Although it’s good in the academy, Your Highness is not around. Thus, there’s not much meaning in staying there.”
Chu Liuyue laughed. It has been so long, and someone is indeed as flirtatious as before.
“It seems like I should be thankful that you didn’t cause trouble for the senior sisters and junior sisters in Ling Xiao Academy.”
Jian Fengchi: “Tsk. Your Highness, you’re accusing me by saying this. After I went to the academy, I spent all my effort on cultivation and didn’t really leave the house.”
Seeing that he spoke seriously, Chu Liuyue became interested. “Oh?”
Jian Fengchi had a delightful smile. “To be honest, Your Highness, I just broke through to become a Senior Physician. When shall we compete again?”
“Okay.” Chu Liuyue looked relaxed. “Coincidentally, I just broke through to become a Supreme Physician, and I do want to find someone to compete with.”
Jian Fengchi staggered backward, and the smile on his face instantly froze as he said in shock, “Supreme Physician?! Aren’t you a Senior Physician?!”
I had already investigated properly before I came!
Chu Liuyue nodded. “Yeah, I was a Senior Physician previously. Didn’t I say that I just broke through?”
Jian Fengchi was speechless. There is nothing more hurtful than this! Heaven knows how much I have suffered in order to catch up with her for so many years!
In Ling Xiao Academy, he flipped through countless medical books and tried many times. There were quite a few times he was forced to steal herbs from Medicinal Valley, was caught by the elder, and painfully beaten up.
In the end… it’s like this?! I broke through to become a Senior Physician with much difficulty and hardship and wanted to find Chu Liuyue to duel with her, yet she became a Supreme Physician in the blink of an eye?!
Jian Fengchi’s heart felt very painful. He held his heart and took a few steps back.
“…T-take it as if I didn’t say the previous words. No, just take it as if I didn’t come here!” As he spoke, he turned around to leave. I can’t stay here any longer!
After taking two steps out, he suddenly recalled something and paused in his steps.
Chu Liuyue looked at him with a smile. “Why aren’t you going?”
Jian Fengchi opened his bone fan and covered half his face, only revealing his blue eyes glistening with light. “Speaking of which, Your Highness, is Hongyu with you?”
Chu Liuyue shook her head. “No.”
Previously, Mu Hongyu had been in the Sky-Cloud Empire the whole time.
After taking down Peach Blossom Dock, Chu Liuyue originally thought that she would come back. However, she did not wait for her.
Later on, she and Rong Xiu returned to the Sky-Cloud Empire to find out that Mu Hongyu was in seclusion and hadn’t come out for a while.
She did not disturb her either.
“She should still be cultivating in seclusion in the Sky-Cloud Empire. What, are you looking for her?”
The corner of Jian Fengchi’s eyes twitched harshly. “Your Highness, did you forget something?”
“Her servant agreement is still in my hands! Out of nowhere, she disappeared. Who would not find her?”
Chu Liuyue glanced at him in a seemingly smiling manner. “Why are you in such a hurry to find her? Anyway, you never lack people serving you around you. Besides, Hongyu would not do such things.”
No matter what, Mu Hongyu was also a princess. Even if she couldn’t compare with Jian Fengchi’s identity as Dragon Teeth Mountain’s Young Master, she was loved and doted on when she grew up.
Besides, she was lively, active, and carefree, so she placed all her effort on cultivation and wouldn’t bother with these.
Jian Fengchi’s hand trembled slightly. “Your Highness, even if you lean toward her, this is too much, right? At the very least, I’ve produced pills with you and was beaten by you for so many years. Can’t you be biased toward me?”
Chu Liuyue acknowledged him. “Then… How about I return you the money, and you pass me the agreement?”
Jian Fengchi immediately took a step back. “No way!”
