Chapter 27 I'm Special to You

"A student was injured, so I came to visit him." Mu Xianzhi said gently.

visit?

Is Mu Xianzhi a kind-hearted person?

Ling Qingyan was a little wary of him.

"The Grand Tutor is so kind to his students." Ling Qingyan's tone was a little joking.

He can kidnap students and ask them to stay up all night to paint with him, or he can come to visit with homework.

"Um."

Mu Xianzhi's expression remained very calm.

Like a towering snow-capped mountain, cold and indifferent, as if he didn't recognize her except as his student, cold and eerie.

In front of others, he always behaves like a gentleman and a noble tutor.

Only Ling Qingyan knows.

How bad he is in private and in the dark.

He is covered with the skin of a saint and is admired and praised by others, or perhaps this identity makes it easier for him to do his dirty deeds.

Ling Qingyan suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could the assassin during the spring hunt that day be one of his men?

After all, he is deeply trusted by his father, holds a high position, and has served as an official in the capital for many years. If he wants to, it will not be difficult to get the people under his control into Qingluan Mountain.

But what exactly did he want to do? Why did he want to kill Ling Yu and hurt Chen Mansheng?

Ling Qingyan had no way of knowing.

I just feel that the person in front of me is too mysterious, too dangerous, and too pretentious.

It's quite interesting. Ling Qingyan suddenly wants to see if he will ever be unable to continue acting.

"But I remember that the Grand Tutor has always been a cold-hearted person. He has many students, and I have never heard that he would visit any of his students when they are sick, especially female students." Ling Qingyan's eyebrows were curved and her voice was melodious.

"The Grand Tutor treats Mansheng differently. Those who know him think it's because he cares about his students, while those who don't think he's treating Mansheng differently."

"Or maybe, feeling guilty, he did something to offend Mansheng?"

She didn't know why Mu Xianzhi came to visit Chen Mansheng, but she couldn't help but be sensitive.

Or maybe he had developed an interest in her precious heroine.

Or, there is another purpose.

She was just deceiving him, deceiving him disrespectfully.

She didn't care whether Mu Xianzi would be angry with her or not.

The girl's voice was light and lively, her eyes, which should have been clear and bright, had a fox-like cunning, and a smile played at the corners of her mouth.

Chen Mansheng took a breath of cold air.

His Highness has been a little too lively lately, even joking with Master Mu.

Chen Chuo also paid attention to the conversation between Ling Qingyan and Mu Xianzhi.

Mu Xianzhi looked at Ling Qingyan with those thin eyes, and his tone was somewhat gentle, but it made Ling Qingyan shudder: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? Didn't I visit you the last time you were unwell? How could you forget so quickly?"

"As for Miss Chen, she's the best student in her studies. To some extent, she can be considered my favorite student. If something happens to her, I have to come and visit her."

Mu Xianzhi glanced at Chen Chuo again and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty asked me to teach you well, and I have also taught you privately many times. How could Your Highness do such a thing as slapping someone in the face?"

"I have truly failed Your Majesty's trust. It seems I will have to teach Your Highness well in the future."

Mu Xianzhi's voice was so gentle that it could penetrate water, like a flower falling into a lake, causing ripples.

Ling Qingyan felt a chill on her back and unconsciously took a step back.

Mu Xianzhi always gave her the feeling that he had been pretending to be too good in front of others for too long, so much so that he had become a pervert.

Seeing that Master Mu was not angry with His Highness at all, Chen Mansheng felt much more at ease.

Yes, His Highness is such a good person, it’s okay for him to be a little spoiled and willful.

Everyone should be more tolerant of her.

Tutor Mu is even willing to teach Your Highness in private. It seems that His Majesty really cares about the princess, and Tutor Mu is also a good teacher.

Chen Mansheng was happy for his friend.

Chen Chuo grew up among all kinds of people. He has seen all kinds of people and has read all kinds of expressions.

He could clearly see that the relationship between His Highness and this Grand Tutor was not that ordinary.

At the Spring Hunting Banquet, he noticed that Master Mu's gaze was vaguely on His Highness.

This Princess Tangning is really interesting.

Ling Qingyan and Mu Xianzhi's eyes met. Mu Xianzhi's eyes looked no different from usual, but Ling Qingyan just felt it was sinister.

"Master." Chen Mansheng's maid outside the door walked up to Chen Mansheng's bed and whispered a few words. Chen Mansheng's face changed slightly.

"Has something happened, Mansheng?" Ling Qingyan asked worriedly as she saw her expression change slightly.

"There's been a thief in the backyard, and the guards are already investigating and chasing the thief. Your Highness should return to the palace early." Chen Mansheng clenched his fingers slightly. Their Duke's Mansion was being targeted again.

"Thief? Were any valuables stolen?" Ling Qingyan frowned. "Did they catch the thief?"

Chen Mansheng shook his head. "Someone escaped. Your Highness, don't worry about me. There's nothing to lose."

Chen Mansheng didn't want Ling Qingyan to worry about her.

Considering that Mu Xianzhi was still here, Ling Qingyan didn't ask any more questions.

"Master Mu, come and leave with me after seeing Mansheng. Mansheng needs to rest." Ling Qingyan took Mu Xianzhi away.

"Okay." Mu Xianzhi and Ling Qingyan walked out.

"Han Qi, Xi Lan, go wait for me near the carriage first. I want to ask Master Mu some private matters." Ling Qingyan ordered.

Ling Qingyan pulled Mu Xianzhi into a remote alley where there were only the two of them.

"So why did the Grand Tutor think of the Duke's Mansion today?" Ling Qingyan pushed him against the wall, questioning him.

"Why are you reacting so strongly when I come to the Duke's Mansion?" Mu Xianzhi asked back.

He was still wearing a brocade robe with a moon-white crane pattern. Ling Qingyan thought that he was just pretending to wear white clothes in front of others.

His character makes people subconsciously think that he is pure and innocent, and pretends to be holy.

Now that he was pushed against the wall by her, Ling Qingyan felt very happy at the thought that the white clothes would be stained with dust.

However, although she felt happy playing a trick on him, she always remembered her mission.

"Jealous." Ling Qingyan said in a high-sounding manner, "I thought—"

"Why?"

Even if Mu Xianzhi felt that this was most likely the girl's evil intentions and that she was full of lies, perhaps it would not count. Just like when she said in front of the emperor that she liked Ji Yanxing, even the emperor could be deceived, let alone him.

But he still asked casually.

"I thought that the Grand Tutor was only different to me. I thought that the pure, cold and noble Grand Tutor would only visit me when I was hurt." The girl tilted her head and blinked at him.

It has to be said that the girl was very good at using her advantages. She looked directly at Mu Xianzhi very boldly without any sign of retreat.

"Why do you think I'm special to you?" Mu Xianzhi chuckled, his voice clear.

"Because I am the only one among all the Taifu's students who knows your secret. Similarly, Taifu also knows my secret."

Mu Xianzhi thought for a moment, "I am indeed special to you."

"I have never painted a picture like that for anyone else." Mu Xianzhi thought of his painting, his eyes darkened, and his gaze unconsciously and silently swept over Ling Qingyan.
