Xiao Qingchuan looked at Leng Yan's eyes, which showed no surprise at all, and asked curiously, "Aren't you curious about why I did this?"
Leng Yan looked up at him and said, "It's only a matter of time. What's there to be curious about?" Xiao Qingchuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true." He then looked at Leng Yan and said, "I think there will be a lot of people coming when the news gets out. Do you want me to send a few people to protect you?"
Leng Yan looked at him and said, "No need. Since they are causing trouble for me, I just have a reason to kill them, right?" Xiao Qingchuan looked at Leng Yan with complicated eyes.
Leng Yan met his gaze, frowned slightly and said, "Don't look at me like that."
Xiao Qingchuan shifted his gaze back to the memorial on the desk and said, "Then be careful not to leave any traces." Leng Yan said, "Don't worry, I still have the awareness of being an ally."
Then he stood up and left the study. The servant beside him saw Leng Yan being so rude and wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Xiao Qingchuan with a look.
Xiao Qingchuan just watched Leng Yan leave the study. The servant beside him had followed Xiao Qingchuan for quite a long time, and he had never seen anyone who dared to be so rude to Xiao Qingchuan, and Xiao Qingchuan just indulged her like that.
Xiao Qingchuan naturally saw the resentment in his eyes. This servant had followed him for many years, so Xiao Qingchuan naturally had a little more patience with him.
He explained, "There's no need to restrain her. After all, I still need her help with some things." At this moment, half of Xiao Qingchuan's face was hidden in the shadows, and the calculations in his eyes were all revealed at this moment. His red eyes, shining like rubies, flashed with excitement in the photocopy, like a hunter staring at his prey.
The servant beside him knew that Xiao Qingchuan knew his limits when he saw his expression, so he didn't say anything and just stood there quietly.
After Leng Yan walked out of the study, she returned to the courtyard where she currently lived. Leng Yan stood in front of the bamboo clump in the courtyard, plucked a bamboo leaf, and then threw the leaf towards the pond beside her.
The bamboo leaves avoided the lotus flowers in the pond and stuck into the mud under the lotus flowers. Not long after, the bamboo leaves floated to the surface of the water and floated on the water.
Leng Yan played for a while and felt bored so she went back to the house. She didn't like being disturbed so there were no servants serving her in the yard.
In the evening, a servant came to invite Leng Yan, saying that the Fifth Prince asked her to meet him in the pavilion in the West Garden.
Leng Yan listened to the servant's excuses, which were full of loopholes but he was unaware of them, and thought to himself that it seemed that Xiao Qingchuan's brothers and sisters were not very clear about their relationship with Xiao Qingchuan.
But Leng Yan was indeed curious about what his family members were like. She also wanted to decide as soon as possible which one would be the best for both the cultivation world and herself as the Demon Lord.
So Leng Yan looked at the servant and said lightly, "Lead the way." The servant had no idea that he had been exposed. He was secretly proud and took Leng Yan to the pavilion in the West Garden.
When Leng Yan arrived, she didn't see Xiao Qingchuan. She turned around to ask the servant behind her, but found that there was no one behind her.
Leng Yan turned her head to look at the pavilion, only to see that it was surrounded by white gauze curtains, which fluttered gently in the breeze. Through the curtains, Leng Yan could vaguely see a figure inside.
The figure sat upright in the pavilion, and turned to look at Leng Yan as if he felt Leng Yan's gaze.
Leng Yan took a look and then turned away and walked back the way he came. Wu Qu thought it was something interesting, but he didn't expect it to be such a low-level routine. It was such a waste of his time.
The man in the pavilion was stunned for a moment when he saw Leng Yan turn around and leave without hesitation. Then he immediately reacted and stood up and shouted to Leng Yan's departing back, "Daoyou, why don't you come in and sit down?"
Leng Yan stopped but still didn't turn around. She said in a calm tone, "I don't have time." Then she started walking forward again. Before she had taken a few steps, she heard the man behind her say again, "I do have time. And what we want to talk about won't take you much time."
Leng Yan didn't expect the man behind him to be so shameless, so he turned around and looked at him and said, "Then I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"
When the man saw Leng Yan turned around, he sat back down and looked at Leng Yan and said, "Let's sit down and talk."
Leng Yan glanced at him, then walked over to the pavilion and sat opposite the man. The man opposite her had a delicate appearance and a gentle temperament. He was wearing a white gown embroidered with flying cranes in gold thread. Around his waist hung a jade pendant of excellent quality.
Leng Yan looked at him and said, "I wonder what the Second Prince wants to talk to me about?"
The second prince is named Xiao Lingze. He looks gentle on the surface but is actually always plotting against others. He is a typical black-cut guy and can be said to be a replica of Qingyu.
Leng Yan thought of Qingyu: Why did you think of him? What bad luck. At this moment, Leng Yan hated Wen Shi and the others equally.
The Second Prince was not surprised that Leng Yan recognized his identity. He continued to look at Leng Yan with a warm gaze. If it were anyone else being stared at like this by Xiao Lingze, they would have been shy long ago, but he was facing Leng Yan.
Leng Yan, already accustomed to Qingyu's tactics, didn't even feel a ripple in her heart. She feigned confusion and asked Xiao Lingze, "Why is the Second Prince staring at me like this?"
Xiao Lingze retracted his gaze and said, "Nothing." Then he lowered his head, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of the tea in the cup, and thought to himself that it was interesting.
The two of them remained silent until Xiao Lingze finally spoke. He said, "If this fellow Daoist feels unhappy living in my fifth brother's house, he can come and live in my house."
Leng Yan looked at Xiao Lingze and said indifferently, "Thank you for your kindness, Second Prince, but it's not necessary. I am living very comfortably in the Fifth Prince's Mansion."
Xiao Lingze looked at Leng Yan in surprise, and continued to ask without giving up: "Fellow Daoist, have you really thought it through? You should understand the principle that once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back."
Leng Yan's tone remained unchanged as she said, "Thank you for the reminder, Second Prince, but I'm not interested." Xiao Lingze stopped talking after realizing they couldn't reach an agreement. Leng Yan stood up and said, "Since Second Prince has nothing else to do, I'll be leaving first. Goodbye."
After saying that, he turned and walked back the way he came.
Xiao Lingze watched Leng Yan leave until he knew he would never see her again. He then withdrew his gaze. He stroked the teacup in his hand, chuckled for a long time, and called out, "Jimo."
Then a breeze blew by, and a secret guard knelt before Xiao Lingze and said respectfully, "Master, I am here." Xiao Lingze said to Jimo, "Go and check the identity of that person just now."
Jimo respectfully replied "yes" and disappeared from the spot. After Jimo left, Xiao Lingze stood up and walked outside.
After walking a short distance, the people he brought came to meet him. Xiao Lingze said to the guard beside him, "Return to the mansion." Then he walked a few steps and turned back to the servant beside him and said, "Go and tell my fifth brother that I will be returning home today and will visit you another day."
After saying this, he walked towards the gate of the mansion.
