"Alliance Leader Qi, what's wrong?" Feng Guang asked curiously when he suddenly stopped talking.
Qi Chang'an was quiet for a moment, then a gentle smile returned to his face. He said slowly, "Nothing much, I just suddenly realized that Miss Xia is actually a very lovely young lady."
"Have you taken the wrong medicine?" Feng Guang was not embarrassed when she heard his kind words. Instead, she began to wonder if he had changed his personality. After all, not long ago, although he always had a smile on his face every time they met, Feng Guang could always feel that he and she were the same. They disliked each other.
But Qi Chang'an seems to have changed his personality recently, and he has a mysterious attitude towards her. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is a kind and amiable elder.
Qi Chang'an chuckled, "I have no health problems, so why would I need to take medicine?"
"If you don't have any problems... why have you been so much nicer to me lately?" She blinked in confusion. If there was anything that puzzled her and that she wanted to figure out, it was Qi Chang'an's change in attitude.
Qi Chang'an thought about it seriously for a while, then replied with a smile, "Has my attitude towards Miss Xia changed?"
He always seems to be all smiles. If you randomly ask anyone, you'll find that everyone answers that Leader Qi is a good-natured and good-tempered person.
"Of course things have changed." Feng Guang squinted at him. "Hey, I'm telling you, you didn't suddenly realize that I'm beautiful and sweet-hearted, and you've taken a liking to me and want to pursue me, did you?"
She had little contact with Qi Chang'an, and her relationship with him was not deep. She thought to herself that it was impossible for this person to like her so much. Her words were just a serious joke.
Qi Chang'an fell silent, as expected.
The atmosphere became somewhat delicate at that moment.
Feng Guang slowly lost her arrogant demeanor. At this moment, she had an inexplicable feeling that something was wrong. After a pause, she asked with no certainty, "You don't actually like me, do you?"
"Miss Xia is too kind." Qi Chang'an's lips curled up slightly, and the familiar smile reappeared on his face. He said clearly, word by word, "You are Brother Xia's daughter, so you can be considered my junior. Even if Miss Xia is unwilling, I think it would be a good thing to treat you as my niece."
"I'm not going to be your niece!" Feng Guang snorted, holding pastries in one hand and flowers in the other, and turned to leave.
Feeling rejected, Qi Chang'an gave a helpless twitch of his lips. It was hard to imagine that, apart from people in the underworld, he would also be disliked by others.
The scenery was quite nice. Something big had indeed happened at the Hidden Military Mansion. All the major sects of the righteous path had gathered there for a grand conference that only important members of each sect could attend.
Although her three senior brothers were allowed to attend the meeting, she was not, as Xia Chao did not permit her to participate. However, her curiosity only grew stronger.
"Miss Xia, what are you doing in the middle of the night?" Xiao Baishu walked to the wall and looked at the girl who was trying to climb over the wall by stepping on the stones with a strange expression.
The girl, who was struggling to climb the wall, paused. She turned around and said with an awkward smile, "Master Xiao, it's so late, aren't you asleep yet?"
"I woke up from a dream in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back asleep, so I went for a walk."
Feng Guang glanced around. "Did you come out alone?"
"If I wanted to come out alone, the guards in the Hidden Army wouldn't be able to find me."
