Chapter 168

~7 min read 1,370 words

Behind, was Qing Jie.

Qing Jie was holding a super large box in his hand.

Yun Qiyue even suspected whether that box would crush Qing Jie.

However, looking at Qing Jie's easy pace, clearly it wouldn't.

Unexpectedly, this Qing Jie was actually someone who hid his true strength; his strength was quite great.

"Thud—" with a sound, Qing Jie placed the box on the ground, making a dull sound.

It showed how heavy the box itself was.

However, what did this mean?

Yun Qiyue looked at Ouyang Xi, her eyes carrying inquiry.

Ouyang Xi looked at the Dengjing Grass seeds in the box, "These few days, I tried to plant them, but they didn't grow."

So what?

Yun Qiyue asked with her eyes.

"If you can help me grow them, these..." Ouyang Xi pointed to the box on the side, "are all yours."

Yun Qiyue looked over calmly, just as Qing Jie opened the box.

Originally her gaze was calm, but looking at the jewelry in the box, it was almost blinding.

In sight, pigeon-egg-sized pearls, in piles; fist-sized night-shining pearls, several; whole pieces of unpolished jade of transparent and correct color, in piles... as for what was at the bottom, Yun Qiyue didn't know, but it definitely wouldn't be too shabby.

In short, Yun Qiyue wasn't so calm anymore.

Mainly, these would all be hers.

Planting Dengjing Grass was nothing? Simple!

She had planted them before, and was very skilled.

Therefore, after withdrawing her gaze calmly, Yun Qiyue curled her lips, "Deal."

Not making a deal would be a fool.

However, she couldn't openly put these things into her space, so Yun Qiyue said while standing up, "Remember to send the things to my grandfather at the General's Mansion."

After finishing, Yun Qiyue turned around and was about to leave.

However, just after turning around, she saw a servant come in a hurry.

Yun Qiyue didn't pay attention, and the servant only glanced at Yun Qiyue, then ran to Ouyang Xi's side, leaned over, and whispered something in Ouyang Xi's ear.

Hearing this, Ouyang Xi raised his eyes, his gaze landing on Yun Qiyue.

At this time, Yun Qiyue had already walked dozens of steps away, but Ouyang Xi opened his mouth at this moment, "Miss Yun, wait a moment."

Hearing this, Yun Qiyue looked back at Ouyang Xi.

Ouyang Xi curled his lips, "Are you sure you want to leave at this time?"

Saying this, Ouyang Xi gave a look to the servant, and the servant turned and left; when passing by Yun Qiyue, he didn't look at Yun Qiyue.

Yun Qiyue frowned slightly, always feeling that Ouyang Xi had something in his words, and asked, "Do you have something?"

Ouyang Xi nodded, a little.

Saying this, he pointed his finger at the stool Yun Qiyue had just sat on, "Sit."

Yun Qiyue didn't move, only saying: "If you have something, say it; if not, I'll go back first."

She still wanted to go back to the medical hall... because of the Imperial Uncle's note.

There was always some unease in her heart, and she wanted to go see.

What if the Imperial Uncle went and saw she wasn't waiting, wouldn't the Imperial Uncle be angry?

Saying this, seeing that Ouyang Xi didn't intend to answer, Yun Qiyue turned around and was about to leave.

"You might not be able to leave for a while."

Ouyang Xi's voice came over, and then, Yun Qiyue didn't even have time to turn back and ask why before she knew the reason.

At this time, opposite her, the servant who had just gone out returned.

Behind that servant followed someone she was very familiar with: Yun Yaxiang.

And Yun Yaxiang clearly saw her at this time.

Just stunned for a moment, Yun Yaxiang ran toward Yun Qiyue with a face full of anger.

Yun Qiyue subconsciously looked at Ouyang Xi, only to see Ouyang Xi smiling at her.

What else did Yun Qiyue not understand? This Ouyang Xi was doing it on purpose.

Purposefully finding trouble for her when there was none.

So angry!

"Yun Qiyue!" Yun Yaxiang walked up to Yun Qiyue, and without thinking, raised her hand to hit Yun Qiyue.

Yun Qiyue dodged with a flash.

Looking at Yun Yaxiang's hand that was about to continue hitting her, Yun Qiyue's gaze turned cold, "You'd better think clearly before making a move, don't regret it later."

Yun Yaxiang heard this, and her hand paused.

She thought of Yun Qiyue's combat power, and also thought of what her mother had told her.

For a moment, her hand paused in the air, somewhat awkward.

However, Yun Yaxiang was still very angry.

"Yun Qiyue, why do you appear here? Don't forget, your fiancé is the Regent, the National Preceptor is not someone you can covet." With a face full of indignation, carrying a warning look.

Yun Qiyue's gaze remained very cold, "Why I appear here seems to have nothing to do with you. As for whether the National Preceptor is someone I can covet, I don't know, but I know he is not someone you can covet."

Yun Qiyue's words were a counterattack, and also a warning.

That Ouyang Xi, looking harmless, was actually poisonous.

Whoever gets contaminated, gets unlucky.

Anyway, she had no interest in getting contaminated.

However, Yun Qiyue's words heard in Yun Yaxiang's ears made her think that Yun Qiyue was trying to snatch him from her while looking down on her, and the anger in her eyes burned.

"Yun Qiyue, you are so fickle, be careful I tell the Regent."

If the Regent knew, he definitely wouldn't spare her.

"Whatever."

Yun Qiyue was impatient to argue with Yun Yaxiang; it was meaningless.

Therefore, dropping these two words, Yun Qiyue looked coldly past Yun Yaxiang and left directly.

She didn't even look at Ouyang Xi again.

Seeing this, Yun Yaxiang stomped her feet in anger, only glaring fiercely at Yun Qiyue's back, her face full of unwillingness.

After Yun Qiyue walked far away, Yun Yaxiang suddenly thought of something, and the expression on her face stiffened.

Then, she immediately organized her expression with some panic and looked at Ouyang Xi, "National Preceptor, I... things are not as you see, let me explain..."

She actually forgot her purpose for coming as soon as she saw Yun Qiyue.

So angry.

"Oh?" Ouyang Xi smiled lightly, the smile not reaching his eyes, "Not as I see, then how is it?"

Yun Yaxiang: "... National Preceptor, you should also know, my third sister is the Regent's fiancée..."

"Hmm, I know, no need for you to remind me." Ouyang Xi's tone remained flat, making people not know his current thoughts.

Yun Yaxiang felt that Ouyang Xi might not be angry, but she was also a bit uncertain, her heart both relieved and unable to help but carry a trace of unease.

"National Preceptor, my third sister..." Because of that bit of unease, Yun Yaxiang still wanted to explain.

However, Ouyang Xi didn't give Yun Yaxiang a chance, only saying indifferently, "I know what kind of person she is, so what?"

"Buzz—" with a sound, Yun Yaxiang only felt her brain go blank.

What did the National Preceptor's words mean?

Could it be that he was interested in Yun Qiyue?

If that were true, what would she do?

She had come here several times and hadn't been able to get in; this time she finally got in, could it be that the National Preceptor wasn't moved by her and interested in her?

Yun Yaxiang's heart was very chaotic.

But Ouyang Xi's purpose had been achieved, and he didn't want to waste time with Yun Yaxiang, directly chasing her away: "Miss Yun the Sixth, please return, don't disturb me in the future if there's nothing."

After finishing, he lowered his head to brew tea, his expression indifferent.

And at this time, Yun Qiyue arrived at the entrance of Ouyang Xi's residence.

Just as she left the door, she saw the ghost-faced person opposite.

Seeing the ghost-faced person, Yun Qiyue was stunned.

Because, today the ghost-faced person looked very angry, and the look in his eyes when looking at her was very cold; it seemed, had something happened?
