"I haven't decided what to carve yet. I'll take my time. Inspiration will always remind me what to carve." Wanxuan always liked to let things take their course. He only thought about carving something because he had some free time. He then looked at Qi Chang'an, "Junior Sister came to see me to deliver flowers. What brings Alliance Leader Qi here this time?"
Qi Chang'an smiled faintly, "I came here this time because I heard from Lord Xia that the security of the Hidden Military Office is being handled by Young Master Wanxuan."
“That’s right. Master and Mistress often have many things to deal with. I’m in charge of the security of the Hidden Army.” Wanxuan is Xia Chao’s favorite disciple. Whether it’s his character or his ability to handle things, he is trustworthy. Compared to Wan Ge’s impulsiveness and Wan Ting’s petty nature, Wanxuan is the only one who can be relied on.
Qi Chang'an added, "These next few days may be a bit unsettled. I would like to ask Young Master Wanxuan to send a few more people to protect Hero Xiao."
“Protect Master Xiao?” Wanxuan paused for a moment. “Master Xiao is a top-notch expert in the martial arts world. If he finds out that our Hidden Armory has sent many people to protect his safety, I’m afraid it will displease him.”
Anyone in the martial arts world cares about face, especially a martial arts master like Xiao Baishu who has already reached a certain level. If word got out that a first-rate master like him needed someone to protect him, it would be a joke, and he himself would feel embarrassed.
Qi Chang'an said, "I have also considered what Young Master Wanxuan is worried about. I will talk to Hero Xiao. Young Master Wanxuan doesn't need to worry about anything else. Just make sure to send someone to protect Hero Xiao."
"Since Alliance Leader Qi has said so, then I will do as he says." Wanxuan agreed, because he knew that Qi Chang'an's visit today must have been approved by his master.
Feng Guang, who had been quiet for a long time, asked, "Why did you send someone to protect Master Xiao?"
She thought that anyone who could use a flute as a weapon must be very high-class. She had heard a lot about Xiao Baishu's legends in the martial arts world. This guy's martial arts skills were extraordinary, so how could he have reached the point where he needed protection?
Feng Guang was genuinely eager to learn, but Qi Chang'an merely smiled faintly and said, "The night road in the Hidden Military Mansion is dangerous, so we must always be careful, lest even Hero Xiao accidentally fall into a pit."
He paused for a moment of triumph, then gritted his teeth and said, "Your home is the one in danger!"
This guy is clearly mocking her for that time she fell into the pit!
"Senior Brother!" Wan Ge's energetic voice came from the doorway. He walked in from the courtyard gate, followed by Hua Yan. Seeing Feng Guang and Qi Chang'an, Wan Ge greeted them warmly, "Junior Sister, Alliance Leader Qi, you're here too!"
"Alliance Leader Qi." Hua Yan bowed gracefully.
Qi Chang'an nodded, "Miss Hua Yan."
Feng Guang stood up and asked, "Second Senior Brother, how come you're walking with her?"
"Junior Sister, you have no idea, Miss Hua Yan is simply a genius!" Wan Ge excitedly opened a blueprint. "Look, this is the design blueprint for the musket drawn by Miss Hua Yan. It's amazing! I'm sure that if I can forge it, I will definitely become the most skilled blacksmith in the world!"
Hua Yan touched her nose sheepishly. Actually, this musket was just a drawing she made based on her own understanding of modern firearms. Wan Ge was really amazing; he was able to figure out a method for actual casting just by looking at a model drawing.
Feng Guang could tell at a glance that the aura of a transmigrated woman had arrived. Compared to Wan Ge's excitement, she appeared very calm. "So why did you bring her to see Senior Brother?"
"A few days ago, Miss Hua Yan accidentally stepped on and killed one of the flowers that Senior Brother was growing. She felt bad about it and came to apologize."
“Young Master Wanxuan…” Hua Yan took out a handkerchief with a brightly blooming seven-colored hibiscus embroidered on it. “I’m so sorry. I accidentally stepped on your seven-colored hibiscus that night when it was dark. I didn’t know where to find a new seven-colored hibiscus to make up for it, so I could only try to… embroider a seven-colored hibiscus that will never wither.”
Noticing that Wanxuan's gaze had fallen on her hands, Hua Yan quickly put her pricked fingers behind her back and gave Wanxuan an awkward smile.
Wan Ge chimed in, "Senior Brother, please accept it."
“Since it is Miss Huayan’s kind intention, then I will accept it.” Wanxuan stood up, took the handkerchief from her, and said with a smile, “Please don’t take this to heart, Miss Huayan.”
"It's good that you're willing to accept it, young master." Hua Yan breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise she would always feel indebted to him, and she wouldn't feel good about it.
Feng Guang's lips were already pouting high. She knew that Wan Xuan was always gentle to people, but she still felt dissatisfied. Perhaps it was because Hua Yan was a heroine who was born to be her opponent.
"They're just fake flowers."
Feng Guang suddenly heard a whisper in her ear. She looked up at Qi Chang'an, somewhat puzzled.
“What is fake will always be fake. No matter how realistic the embroidered seven-colored hibiscus is, it will never come to life. Using fake flowers to describe hypocrisy is the perfect way to describe it.” Qi Chang’an smiled slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. His smile was no different from his usual one, only making people feel polite but distant.
But there are some differences...
Feng Guang wasn't sure why he would suddenly say that to her; she just felt... that his words suddenly made her feel much better.
