When Qing Shiyu saw that the two seemed to have misunderstood something, she immediately waved her hands and said, “I didn’t peek! I really didn’t! I walked in with my head held high and saw it all!”
Huh?
What?
Walked in with her head held high?
Ye Feifei immediately tugged at Xiao Yuan’s sleeve, her face filled with certainty as she said, “Brother Xiao Yuan, I told you so! Sister Shiyu likes my brother!”
Xiao Yuan also wore an expression of agreement at that moment.
However, Qing Shiyu felt that the more she tried to explain, the more muddled the situation became. She exclaimed in frustration, “Like him? With his arrogant attitude, I’d be crazy to like him!”
Yet, Xiao Yuan and Ye Feifei exchanged glances, feeling that Qing Shiyu’s words only seemed to reveal more than she intended.
Before Qing Shiyu could continue her explanation, the door opened.
Ye Wushuang emerged from the bath, dressed in a clean robe.
The white garment fit him well, the silk fabric was remarkably smooth, and he wore a blue sash around his waist. The ink-painted landscape embroidered on the robe accentuated Ye Wushuang’s clean and handsome features.
At first glance, Qing Shiyu was taken aback, and then she said, “He looks quite handsome.”
“See? You think my brother is handsome, which means you like him!” Ye Feifei said with delight.
“Feifei, if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll spank you!” Qing Shiyu feigned a stern expression.
Ye Feifei stuck out her tongue and walked up to Ye Wushuang, affectionately hugging her brother.
“Why are you here?” Ye Wushuang asked the two.
“Xu Qiuyuan has arrived,” Xiao Yuan immediately said. “He insists on seeing you.”
“However, he is the son of the second hall master of the Dark Soul Hall, a force within the Qingyun Empire that is by no means inferior to the major families. That’s why the guards of the Qingyun Pavilion stopped him…”
“Him?”
Ye Wushuang laughed and said, “Let’s go and see.”
At this moment, Qing Shiyu hurriedly said, “Ye Wushuang, you still have to teach me swordsmanship!”
“There’s no rush.”
With that, the group went downstairs and saw in the hall that Xu Qiuyuan, dressed in a sorcerer’s robe that fit him well, was standing there with a look of disdain on his face as he looked at the Qingyun Pavilion guards who were staring at him.
However, when Xu Qiuyuan saw Ye Wushuang, his eyes brightened immediately, and he waved his hand and said, “Brother Ye, I’m over here!”
Xu Qiuyuan walked up and, seeing the several guards of the Qingyun Pavilion still eyeing him warily, he curled his lip and said, “Brother Ye, it seems like you’re being held prisoner or something. When I said I wanted to see you, these guards looked at me as if I were going to kill you…”
“Why did you come?”
Hearing Ye Wushuang’s question, Xu Qiuyuan grabbed Ye Wushuang’s wrist and said immediately, “Come on, come with me. I have a great gift for you!”
A great gift?
“Don’t worry about that. Just come with me!”
Xu Qiuyuan immediately took Ye Wushuang’s hand and, without any hesitation, led the group out of the Qingyun Pavilion and into a carriage that drove away…
Behind them, several guards from the Qingyun Pavilion quietly followed.
Inside the carriage, Xu Qiuyuan curiously asked, “Were you really kidnapped? Tell me about it. Don’t worry, within this capital, our Dark Soul Hall is not afraid of the Qingyun Pavilion.”
Qing Shiyu, however, curled her lip and said, “Kidnapped? He’s now a distinguished guest of the Qingyun Pavilion. They treat him like a father.”
Xu Qiuyuan was even more puzzled.
Immediately, Ye Wushuang explained the whole story.
After listening, Xu Qiuyuan found it even more incredible.
“Is it true?” Xu Qiuyuan asked urgently, “Can you really cure Mu Junli?”
“Probably.”
“Don’t just say probably,” Xu Qiuyuan immediately said, “If you can save him, both the Qingyun Pavilion and the royal family will be grateful to you. But if you fail, that could be dangerous…”
“Exactly,” Qing Shiyu also chimed in, “If you can’t save him, the more they respected you before, the more ruthlessly they will kill you later!”
Xu Qiuyuan looked at Qing Shiyu and laughed, “Princess Qing, you are a princess of the Qingyun royal family. Why aren’t you siding with your aunt and instead speaking for Brother Ye?”
“I’m not siding with anyone. It’s just that one should always keep their promises.”
As they talked, the carriage slowly came to a stop.
Qing Shiyu stepped out of the carriage and looked around, surprised to say, “This is the Eastern District, very close to the Qingyun Academy.”
“What are you up to, Xu Qiuyuan?”
Hearing Qing Shiyu’s question, Xu Qiuyuan was not in a hurry. He led the group through twists and turns until they arrived in front of a street, standing outside the gate of a mansion.
And at that moment, on the gate’s plaque, there were two prominent characters—Ye Mansion!
