Jiang Yeqian could not explain why he had come over either. Just like when Zhao Xin had asked him why he had to break into the State Preceptor’s residence at night, he could not provide any explanation. He just felt that if certain things were not made clear to her immediately, he really was going to fail in certain ways.

Hence, here he was.

Li Ruoxuan waved his hand slightly. “Go back. You already have no chance.”

Jiang Yeqian stood, leaning on his cane with a poker face, and said, “We’ll talk about whether or not I have a chance once I see her.”

Li Ruoxuan seemed to be mildly troubled. He stroked his forehead before he said helplessly, “Head Grand Secretariat, no offense, but it’s already very late. Even if I gave you a chance, she wouldn’t want to see you.”

“…”

Jiang Yeqian looked at Li Ruoxuan silently for a moment, then said, “Are you afraid I’ll snatch her away from you?”

“Geez, I’ve seen shameless people before—but never someone as shameless as you.”

Li Ruoxuan knew that Jiang Yeqian was taunting him, so he got mildly angry. He responded very calmly, “You strangled her right in front of the empress today—do you think the little girl will forgive you?”

Jiang Yeqian said seriously, “You must be afraid that I’ll snatch her away, so you don’t want her to see me.”

“Are you still trying to taunt me?”

Li Ruoxuan curled his lips, feeling somewhat helpless.

He was also straightforward. “Alright, I’ll give you a chance.”

Li Ruoxuan then bowed slightly and gestured welcomingly with his hand.

Jiang Yeqian’s figure immediately leaped into the house. Li Ruoxuan did not follow. He watched the figure and smiled very calmly.

Just as Zhao Xin was about to follow behind Jiang Yeqian, he was stopped by Li Ruoxuan.

“But you aren’t allowed in my residence.”

Zhao Xin stood in his place, feeling the oppression emanating from the grand master. It was a kind of invisible tremor, and he felt his own heart trembling slightly.

This was the strength of a grand master.

Although Li Ruoxuan had only just ascended to the rank of a grand master, he was already completely different from other rank nines.

Li Ruoxuan waved his hand flagrantly. “Wait outside.”

Zhao Xin was blown away by a blast of wind, all the way to the wall opposite the wall. Zhao Xin spat out a mouthful of blood. When his body fell to the ground, he was quite prepared. He knelt on the ground with one knee and supported his body.

Zhao Xin gently wiped the bloodstain on the corner of his lips.

He thought to himself, ‘as expected of a grand master’— and it had just been from a casual wave of a hand! It was just a warning from the State Preceptor for simply breaking into his residence.

Zhao Xin looked at the high walls and got lost in deep thought about what strength was.

…

On the other hand, Qi Qingyao was sleeping soundly. In her sleep, she felt an invisible presence shrouding her. She, who had just experienced the fear of a near-death experience today, was fairly vigilant and woke up immediately. Then, she saw a dark shadow in front of her, which scared her so much she almost screamed.

“Ah!”

Her scream was muffled by someone and was literally suppressed.

The person who had entered quickly lifted her out of the bed and flew out the window. They swiftly carried her out of the courtyard and went to the garden of the State Preceptor’s residence.

After being placed on the ground, it took a long time for Qi Qingyao to return to her senses.

Then, she looked at the person across from her. Under the moonlight, Qi Qingyao once again thought she was dreaming.

The nightmare from the day before crept up from her spine, making her shudder.

Jiang Yeqian figured she must have thought she was dreaming, so he took the initiative and said, “It’s me.”

“…”

Qi Qingyao pinched one of her thighs hard to make sure she was not dreaming, then instinctively took a step back.

Jiang Yeqian immediately began explaining. “Today, I…!”

He only managed to get in two words before Qi Qingyao shouted with all her might.

“Zhu Shen, Zhu Shen, Zhu Shen!!!”
