Chapter 304: Kang Linfei: I shouldn't be in the carriage; I should be

Kang Linfei???

What the heck? Lu Yuan's daughter-in-law is... is the imperial lord?

That previous patient advice, isn't it...?

Kang Linfei unconsciously swallowed saliva, his face full of shock, almost unable to retract his jaw.

Especially his heart, as if it were about to fall out.

I shouldn't be in the carriage... I should be under the carriage.

Kang Linfei complained inwardly.

Gu Qingwan's body was soft, she looked at Lu Yuan with annoyance.

"With outsiders around, little brother, are you itching for a fight?"

Gu Qingwan raised her little fist, intending to hit Lu Yuan, but her pose lacked any menace and instead had a hint of cuteness.

It made Lu Yuan feel a pang of pity, and he tightened his grip on Gu Qingwan's hand slightly.

He knew Gu Qingwan wouldn't actually hurt him.

The raised fist was merely to intimidate him; how could he be afraid?

What he fears is loss, not... cough cough, let's leave it at that.

"Oh dear, I suddenly remembered something else."

Kang Linfei seemed to have thought of something.

He quickly got up and walked outside.

As he walked, he wore a bitter expression: "Right, I still need to discuss matters with the army; I need to personally supervise."

Having said that, he vanished in a puff of smoke.

Only the three people remained in the room.

Feeling Gu Qingwan's soft body, Lu Yuan unconsciously tightened his arms, as if wanting to knead her into his embrace.

It seemed they were seen by outsiders; Gu Qingwan's face flushed crimson, red to the ears, her beautiful eyes holding a hint of anger.

"Let go of me."

"Not letting go."

"Aren't you afraid of being seen by outsiders?"

Gu Qingwan said resentfully, her hands repeatedly patting Lu Yuan's chest with no strength, as if lightly brushing his chest, making him feel a little itchy.

"Ouch."

Lu Yuan feigned pain, clutching his chest.

He lowered his head, his expression indiscernible, only hearing intermittent sounds of pain.

Gu Qingwan suddenly grew nervous, her patting hand stopping quickly, she looked at Lu Yuan with concern.

She even wanted to check Lu Yuan's wound.

But as soon as she lowered her head, she saw Lu Yuan's upturned mouth corner, instantly making her angry.

"You lied to me! Little brother! Did you learn bad habits from Kang Linfei?"

Kang Linfei???

"What the hell dragged me into this?"

"Ah Qiu~"

"Why did I sneeze? Is it cold?"

"Or... is someone missing me?"

"Oh dear, finally someone is thinking of me~"

……

"Heaven and earth can bear witness, how could I possibly be led astray?"

Lu Yuan, exposed, showed a pitiful expression, as if utterly pitiful.

"Nothing else?"

Gu Qingwan wore an expression that said, "You see, I believe you."

Seeing that, Lu Yuan secretly thought, "Uh-oh."

Sure enough... Gu Qingwan was again patting his chest with her little fists.

Like incessantly sprouting flames, burning and enticing passing travelers.

Lu Yuan was just like that.

That suppressed flame, at this moment, could no longer be contained.

He quickly restrained Gu Qingwan's restless hand, gently lifting it; in an instant, Gu Qingwan fell into Lu Yuan's embrace, their faces nearly touching, warm breath spraying onto his face.

The redness that had been fading quickly rose again, staining her ears once more.

Gu Qingwan's complexion suddenly changed dramatically.

Her struggling strength also became much softer.

"Big sister~ are you teasing my mom?"

His breath sprayed beside her ear, his voice full of magnetism, as if he wanted to devour Gu Qingwan.

Gu Qingwan was dazed.

Although many times before, at this moment she seemed more like a child.

"I... we're in the conference hall, the door isn't locked yet."

Gu Qingwan shyly pointed at the door.

Indicating that Lu Yuan should return to his residence before continuing.

Lu Yuan curled his lips; the mood was set, yet he still wanted him to let go? Not a chance.

"Brother, listen……"

Before she could finish speaking, a gentle touch sealed her lips.

That kiss, like longing, tugged at Gu Qingwan's heartstrings.

Fiery and flamboyant, it nearly overwhelmed Gu Qingwan.

Good thing she knew Lu Yuan well, otherwise she'd really……

Gu Qingwan complained inwardly.

Su Liyan beside her rose directly, blocking the meeting hall's main door.

Kang Linfei walking along the road seemed to have thought of something; he turned back and retraced their path.

He still needed to ask about the battle plan to ensure its smooth execution.

Of course, even if Kang Linfei didn't want to go, he would still be responsible for the follow-up.

Going to meet Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan, Su Liyan discussed.

Upon reaching the door, a sudden ill-timed muffled groan sounded from inside the meeting hall.

Immediately followed by Gu Qingwan's alluring shout and an ear‑tickling breath.

It left one's imagination wandering.

Kang Linfei was the same.

He had lived several decades, yet this was the first time he'd seen someone so unrestrained.

He actually dared to do that inside the meeting hall……

Kang Linfei wanted to retort, but the words reached his lips and he swallowed them outright.

Is this something he can listen to without paying?

Moreover, the voice sounded like Gu Qingwan's.

Then Su Liyan must be……

Kang Linfei unconsciously gulped, "Good grief, I've come at the worst time."

They were in the midst of their lovemaking; if I disturbed them, I'd either be strangled by Gu Qingwan or run through by Su Liyan's sword.

This is a Grand Master; I'm just a mortal—what could I compare with?

Or perhaps it's a matter of life?

Tsk tsk, his life isn't worth much.

If Lu Yuan found out, I'd have to lose a layer of skin.

You ask why?

Who is Lu Yuan? Everyone knows he's ruthless.

"I'm out, I'm out."

Having said that, Kang Linfei turned and left.

As the saying goes: "Flick one's sleeves, taking not a speck of cloud."

Inside the meeting hall, they were lovey‑dovey. Gu Qingwan, lost in their affection, lifted her sparkling eyes: "Brother, it seemed someone just came."

"Don't worry, Liyan's here; she won't let outsiders disturb us."

"No…"

Gu Qingwan was about to speak when her lips were blocked again.

The words she couldn't swallow turned into a sob, directly tugging at Lu Yuan's heart.

Lu Yuan's restless heart flared up again.

He reached out, his hand landing directly on Gu Qingwan's waist.

The two entwined once more.

This time it was even more intense than before.

Only after three hours did Lu Yuan reluctantly release Gu Qingwan.

It wasn't that Lu Yuan couldn't; they still had matters requiring their presence.

As an Imperial Prince, Gu Qingwan had to appear gracefully, and so did Su Liyan.

As the head of the Cultivation Sect, she had to show up and preside over the situation.

As for Lu Yuan……

He actually could have handled two things at once, but unfortunately he slacked off and didn't need to.

A breeze brushed Gu Qingwan's cheek.

On a high platform, Gu Qingwan stared down at the imposing formation.

The line was long, containing mortals and cultivators alike.

The two sides eyed each other with displeasure.

But no one knew that, after this event, the cultivators' view of mortals would instantly change.

It began with gradual mutual understanding.

They even invited Lu Yuan to their place.

Becoming an honored guest.

If you're asking whether Su Liyan helped with this…

I can tell you for certain: no. (End of chapter)
