"You all take your seats first, I'll go and meet her, maybe she's a beauty!" Jiang Yuan said, walking over the screen to the other side.
The easier it is to expose yourself, the more proactive you should be. Following others' lead will only put you at a disadvantage, especially since the two of you have already faced off once.
"Student, crossing boundaries without permission is not a good habit!"
Jiang Yuan hadn't even fully stepped behind the screen when he heard Wen Wan's voice.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan didn't stop walking. He said as he walked, "Since we're all eating together, we're all friends. Let's make friends..."
Jiang Yuan's voice abruptly stopped as he looked at the person behind the screen.
Zhong Litong raised her head, looked directly at Jiang Yuan, and said, "Why did you stop talking?"
"How come it's you?" Jiang Yuan showed a hint of surprise.
"You know me!" Although Zhong Litong appeared calm on the surface, she couldn't help but feel conflicted when she looked at the man in front of her up close.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the two sisters outside, then waved his hand to set up a soundproof array, saying, "You're the one who saved me in Kunlun last time. Although you're completely covered in a white robe, I can recognize your eyes!"
"Is that so?" Zhong Litong replied noncommittally.
"A woman's eyes can be tender and affectionate, or they can gaze into the distance; they can be as bright as stars or as captivating as a glance. They are the windows to the soul, and one look is enough to remember her." Jiang Yuan said with a flippant smile.
"Now that you recognize me, how dare you be so frivolous in front of me?" Zhong Litong asked, raising her eyes.
"Flirtatious?"
Jiang Yuan shrugged, his expression calm, and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with being frivolous. At least, you can live a relaxed and carefree life no matter what you do. For example, right now, I can still chat and laugh with someone like you."
“Living a carefree life might be about hiding a secret in your heart that no one else knows.” Zhong Litong smiled faintly, then said with a hint of deeper meaning, “For example, I feel that you have a big secret.”
Jiang Yuan didn't explain. He simply sat down opposite Zhong Litong. After noticing that his teacup wasn't on the table, he reached out and took the teacup from in front of Zhong Litong. After observing it for a few moments, he deliberately moved to a different position, raised the cup, and sipped the tea in one gulp before slowly saying, "A secret is no longer a secret once it's been told!"
Zhong Litong clenched her fists subconsciously. This brat had deliberately chosen the cup she had drunk from and intentionally drank from the spot she had drunk from. Just like the cause and effect she had read, he was a man with a wicked heart.
Just as the two were about to continue their conversation, the door to the private room was pushed open, and several people walked in one after another.
Jiang Yuan's expression remained unchanged, only revealing a hint of curiosity, even though he knew who the people who had come this time were.
The appearance of Meng Xin, Ji Jingyun, Lin Siyin, and Xie Chuan made Jiang Yuan 100% certain of one thing: Zhong Litong was here today to target him.
"Student, you should go back to your seat!" Zhong Litong gave him the order to leave.
Jiang Yuan smiled nonchalantly, and as he stood up, he took the teacup the man had just been drinking from, saying, "Teacher, if you need any help, feel free to ask me! Although I'm a student, I can also not be one!"
After saying that, Jiang Yuan casually took the cup and left. What seemed like a casual and frivolous act was actually all to disturb Zhong Litong's peace of mind.
"You little rascal!"
After Jiang Yuan left, Zhong Litong muttered a curse under her breath. The Jiang Yuan she had learned from Ning Yanlan was barely a decent gentleman who valued loyalty and righteousness. But his actions just now proved that he was definitely not a decent gentleman.
"Perhaps it's all an act, but I'd like to see how you get involved in this mess!"
Zhong Litong held a scroll in her hand, which was the Hetu Luoshu. This time, she wanted to measure the cause and effect of this kid up close.
