Shen Tingsi's pupils suddenly contracted, and his brain went blank! Jiang Li hugged his neck tightly, wrapped her legs around his waist, and hung on him.

"Snake, there's a snake!"

As she spoke, she jumped towards Shen Tingsi again, burying her face in his neck. There was a slight tremor in her voice, as if she was extremely frightened.

After feeling the wetness and softness at the crook of his neck, Shen Tingsi's body stiffened, and a crack flashed across his face, which was usually calm.

Jiang Li buried her face in his neck, and a hint of cunning appeared in her eyes when she noticed Shen Tingsi's slightly tense body.

After all, as a man who had experienced many ups and downs, even though it was the first time he encountered such a situation, Shen Tingsi quickly came to his senses.

He did not let Jiang Li get off him, but uttered two words from his throat.

"Wind Technique."

When Mengbi Fengjue heard his voice, he came back to his senses in a shudder as if he had been electrocuted.

"Yes, Master!"

Just by calling out the name, Feng Jue understood Shen Tingsi's intention. He strode to Nanyuan. When passing by Shen Tingsi and Jiang Li, he quickly lowered his head, muttering to himself.

I didn't see anything! After Feng Jue went to Nanyuan, Shen Tingsi lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Li hanging on his body.

"It's okay." He lowered his voice and added, "Don't be afraid."

Jiang Li raised her head slowly upon hearing this, with fear still in her eyes.

"The snake is just..."

"Miss Jiang, is this the one?"

Jiang Li had just said half of her words when Feng Jue came out from the South Garden holding the green snake, swinging its tail and coming in front of Jiang Li.

"ah!"

Jiang Li screamed and buried her face in Shen Tingsi's neck again.

Shen Tingsi looked at Feng Jue with a sullen face: "Hurry up and deal with it."

Feng Jue said with an embarrassed expression: "I will go right away, Miss Jiang, don't be afraid!"

Qingzhu called Jiang Li "Miss", and Feng Jue followed suit. Whenever he mentioned Jiang Li, he always called her Miss Jiang and never called her "Young Madam".

Feng Jue walked forward holding the snake, and when he came behind Shen Tingsi, he deliberately shook the snake's tail towards Jiang Li. Sure enough, Jiang Li hugged Shen Tingsi even tighter.

"The snake has been dealt with by Feng Jue. It's fine now."

Shen Tingsi comforted her softly and slowly raised his hand that was hanging by his side, but when it was about to touch Jiang Li's back, he froze in mid-air.

After thinking of their identities, he stopped wanting to stroke Jiang Li's back to comfort her. He stood straight in front of the Nanyuan gate, waiting for Jiang Li to recover.

After a while, Jiang Li let go of Shen Tingsi's neck, climbed down from him, and looked at him apologetically: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Shen. I've been afraid of snakes since I was a child."

There was deep fear in her eyes when she mentioned the snake. If Qingzhu had not just seen with his own eyes how she calmly strangled the green snake and how skillfully she broke its fangs, he would have believed it!

"It's okay. This place is secluded and full of snakes and insects. Miss Jiang should prepare some snake repellent powder."

Shen Tingsi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Jiang Li calmly, but his hands hidden under his sleeves were slightly tightened, not as calm as he appeared.

"I owe Master Shen more and more favors. When Master Shen is free, I will host him and take him to experience the customs of Jiangnan. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will never be able to repay this favor."

Jiang Li was half joking and half serious, not at all embarrassed by what had just happened.

As a woman, she is very open and confident. As a grown man, Shen Tingsi naturally has no reason to be shy.

"In that case, then Shen will respectfully obey your orders."

While the two were talking, the voices of Qingzhu and Fengjue were heard from behind them.

After dealing with the green snake, Feng Jue happened to meet Qingzhu holding an account book on his way back. The opportunity to show his courtesy had come, so he hurriedly stepped forward, took the account book from Qingzhu's hand, and walked towards Nanyuan with her.

On the way, Feng Jue mentioned the matter of the green snake, saying that Jiang Li was frightened by the green snake just now. Although he was full of questions, Qingzhu did not say how majestic his young lady was when she caught the snake just now.

You got it wrong!

It should be Miss Snake Fear! The voices of the two people came from far away, and Jiang Li and Shen Tingsi subconsciously turned their heads to look at the two people walking behind them.

"master."

"Miss."

Feng Jue and Qing Zhu called out to the two of them.

"Give me the account book, thank you, brother."

"Miss Qingzhu, please call me by my name from now on. My name is Feng Jue."

The young man felt strange and Feng Jue asked Qingzhu to call him by his name.

After telling Qingzhu his name, Feng Jue looked at her expectantly, wanting to hear his name from her mouth.

"Wind Technique."

Qingzhu whispered Feng Jue's name, then looked at him with a smile: "Okay, from now on I will call you Feng Jue, and you don't have to call me girl anymore, just call me Qingzhu."

Feng Jue chuckled: "Okay, then I will call you Qingzhu!"

Feng Jue and Qing Zhu exchanged names, and the subtle relationship between the two became closer invisibly.

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a hint of teasing in the corners of her eyes.

What she didn't know was that while she was looking at Feng Jue and Qing Zhu in front of her with a playful look on her face, Shen Tingsi beside her lowered his eyes and looked at her gently.

After seeing the smile on Jiang Li's lips, Shen Tingsi's lips also slightly raised up.

After noticing Jiang Li's gaze, Qingzhu blushed and quickly took the account book from Feng Jue.

"Miss, I've got the account book."

Qingzhu trotted over to Jiang Li and changed the topic to the account book.

When Jiang Li looked at Qingzhu with a joking look, Qingzhu also looked at her suspiciously, as if saying: I heard that the lady is afraid of snakes?

Jiang Li understood the meaning of Qingzhu's words. She pretended to be calm, coughed twice, and secretly gave Qingzhu a look.

In order to prevent Shen Tingsi from noticing the clues, he quickly said, "Thank you for what I did just now, Master Shen. I will host you to repay your favor if there is a chance. I still have things to deal with, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying goodbye to Shen Tingsi, Jiang Li dragged Qingzhu back to the yard. Shen Tingsi waited until they both returned to the room before heading towards the bamboo garden.

On the way back, Feng Jue was laughing so hard because Qingzhu called his name. The corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears, and he kept muttering Qingzhu's name.

Shen Tingsi, who was walking in front, couldn't stand to see him acting like a fool, so he stopped and turned to look at Feng Jue behind him.

"So happy?"

Feng Jue quickly suppressed the corner of his mouth: "Is it so obvious?"

Shen Tingsi: “…”

"Since you are so happy, then tonight..."

"My Lord, I just discovered something interesting."

Knowing what he was going to say, Feng Jue quickly interrupted Shen Tingsi and changed the subject.

Shen Tingsi looked at him dimly, as if to say that what he said next had better be really interesting, otherwise there would be no need to come back tonight.

Feng Jue felt a chill on his back and quickly told Shen Tingsi what he had just discovered.

"Master, the fangs of the green snake that just ran into Nanyuan have been pulled out!"
