Chapitre 16

"Do you think the Nine Gates Admiral's family is short of a pig?" Tang Leyan shook her head with a smile. "Eat and drink." She folded her fan and tapped Shishu on the head.

"No, I heard that the Admiral has a confidante..." Mo Hua said, picking his teeth.

Tang Leyan was taken aback: A confidante?

"Mo Zhu, where did you hear this from? I've never heard of this before!" Shi Shu covered her head with her hands, staring wide-eyed innocently, feeling ashamed that she hadn't done her homework well enough.

"I have my own methods. Just now I excused myself to wash my hands and exchanged some intelligence with a few like-minded colleagues..." He burped. "But it's alright. I heard that the Admiral's confidante doesn't come from a very good background, so... she can't be the main wife. Don't worry, young master, if you enter the family, you'll still be the boss."

He turned his head, his eyes full of encouragement, and looked at Tang Leyan with great confidence.

"Since you've found out so much, how about we leave you two here? You can choose between the eldest and the second eldest. Xiao Di, let's go."

She stood up, twirled the fan in her palm, and strode towards the living room.

Xiao Di stood up, but then frowned.

"How come even you, Xiao Di, want to stay here with that wicked man? No way!" She rushed forward, wanting to grab Xiao Di's shoulder and take advantage of him.

"Hmph!" Xiao Di turned his head away and didn't say anything.

But at that moment, a voice rang out from the corridor: "Is Leyan leaving so soon? That scream is truly enchanting."

The person who walks by is charming even without speaking, and even more so when they open their mouth.

Tang Leyan raised her fan and took a step back warily: "Stop for a second, don't call me so affectionately, I'm not that familiar with you."

"Having a meal doesn't make us very close, but we're at least somewhat familiar, right?" The Nine Gates Admiral wasn't angry at all; the captivating beauty on his face was comparable only to that of a fairy.

In Tang Leyan's eyes, however, she was like a blue enchantress.

The two servants, Shi Shumo and Hua, who were running up behind, saw the sparks flying between the two people in front of them and excitedly began to exchange glances.

"Whether you're a little familiar or a little familiar, I'm leaving now, are you going to let me go or not?"

"Release him? Of course I will! I am the Commander of the Nine Gates, how could I possibly forcibly take away... my 'husband'?"

"You know that's good, get out of the way!"

"yes……"

Extend your hand respectfully.

"Hey! I said I'd let you go, why are you holding me? Are you trying to go back on your word?"

"Before I leave, I have some private words to say to the top scholar. Please excuse me..."

"I won't go, you bastard, let me go! Ahh! Xiao Di, help me!"

Behind him, Shi Shu and Mo Hua, who had successfully betrayed him, each grabbed one of Xiao Di's arms.

Xiao Di: "Let me go!"

"Little Di, don't disturb the young master's good love life."

"Yes, yes, after all these years, she's finally been noticed by a man. It's so rare. Especially since she's a rare gem."

"Such a stunning beauty, it's already a wonder you're not going to ruin her, young master. What are you worried about?"

"Yes, yes, do you want the young master to come back and ruin you?"

After a heated exchange, Xiao Di suddenly fell silent at the last sentence.

The cunning maids exchanged a knowing smile.

"Young master, please go ahead and do it boldly. You've already done it once, so what's two or three more times?"

"Yes, yes, we'll go home and wait for you, so cherish it!"

"A fleeting moment of spring night..."

Tang Leyan, who was being held hostage in the corridor, swayed slightly, but Chu Gexing firmly supported her, smiling and admonishing, "Is it that wine doesn't intoxicate people, but people themselves? Be careful, Your Excellency."

Chapter Eighteen Teasing

The door closed silently in front of me, turning the small room into a prison.

"Sit down." Chu Gexing closed the door, turned around, and reached out to help him up.

With a "whoosh," the fan opened, and Tang Leyan took a light step, seemingly unintentionally, but in fact, she just managed to dodge Chu Gexing's arm. She said lightly, "Lord Chu, just say what you have to say. I can listen just as well standing here."

"There's no one else here, Leyan, why are you deliberately distancing yourself from me?"

Chu Gexing turned his head and looked at the red-clad man who had his back to him.

"Precisely because there is no one else around, we must keep our distance from Lord Chu." Without turning her head, Tang Leyan turned her face slightly and glanced at the other person.

"Oh? What are you worried about? Are you afraid of what I might do to you, or are you afraid of yourself..." Chu Gexing's gaze shifted and fell on her.

"I'm not afraid of anything."

"I'm not afraid, so why don't you dare look at me?"

"Lord Chu, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Seemingly realizing the other party's unreasonable behavior, Tang Leyan waved her sleeve.

"Wait!" He reached out and blocked the way.

"What's the rush!" The figure on the other side dodged his arm, and a handsome face with raised eyebrows said, "Lord Chu, are you deliberately making things difficult for me?"

"You're the one who's making things difficult for me."

"That's strange. Would I go looking for trouble?"

“Leyan…”

"Don't call me that so affectionately."

"Junior sister."

Tang Leyan frowned, staring at the man opposite her, whose face was so handsome it could topple kingdoms. She said in a deep voice, "You know the rules of Tianmiao Peak. Once you leave the mountain, no matter how close you are to your fellow disciples, you will be strangers from now on. Chu Gexing, don't keep forcing me like this."

"If you were just a stranger, why did you call me this morning?"

"I don't want to explain things that I had no other choice to do."

"I don't need your explanation!" Chu Gexing sneered and raised his hand. "I only need to prove it with my actions."

"You!" Before she could retort, the other party attacked with lightning speed. Tang Leyan reached out to block, her fan folding as their arms touched. They both felt a slight tremor, and their fans trembled slightly. Tang Leyan said angrily, "You're still the same as before, so domineering and arrogant."

"Didn't you say you were just a passerby? How did you know I was still so domineering and arrogant?" Chu Gexing smiled slightly. "Have you forgotten the rules of Tianmiao Peak?"

"Shut up!" Tang Leyan was furious. She waved her hands, her red sleeves billowing in the air like two beautiful, blooming flowers, and attacked Chu Gexing's chest.

"Well done." Chu Gexing remained calm and stepped forward, responding to each move with a counterattack. In an instant, a red figure and a blue light appeared alternately in the not-so-spacious room, with only the sound of their clothes rustling in the wind.

"Doing something you know is impossible is not your style."

He grabbed the other person's left wrist with one hand and pressed the other hand on her hand, forcibly separating her fingers and inserting them as if they were intertwined, pressing her against the wall.

Chu Gexing looked down and smiled as he pressed Tang Leyan against the wall.

"I don't know why I'm like this, I just lose control whenever I see you..."

Although the situation was extremely bad, Tang Leyan still had a faint smile on her face, like mockery, like an attempt to hide the fear in her heart but only making it more obvious.

"Leyan, Leyan, compared to your carefree and cheerful demeanor towards everyone, I love your shy and demure appearance even more. This is what makes you a woman, do you know that?"

He spoke ambiguously, slowly lowered his head, and whispered in her ear as if deliberately pressing his ear against hers.

"I don't need your high regard, Lord Chu. I would be eternally grateful if you would be so kind as to help me out!"

He remained as tough as ever verbally, but under his ambiguous breath, the fair and delicate skin on his neck gradually turned a tender pink.

"Now that I've finally got it, how can I let it go?"

He gently rubbed his fingers between hers, deliberately tormenting her as he looked down at her. Her previously composed face slowly revealed embarrassment.

"Chu Gexing!" She finally couldn't bear it any longer and raised her head to meet his face.

Despite being filled with anger, he was still taken aback.

Right before my eyes, this face with its captivating peach blossom eyes, delicate as a maiden yet alluring as a seductive enchantress, is nonetheless a man. His eyes are half-open, half-closed, with a hazy gaze, and his red lips are so vibrant they seem to drip blood. This beauty is natural, possessing a unique and mesmerizing charm.

"What?" He wasn't angry at all. Instead, he calmly moved closer, his eyelids lowered, and his long eyelashes completely covered his eyes. If he didn't speak, he would look exactly like a pitiful little girl. But... he was doing such a vile thing.

Chu Gexing hid his eyes with his eyelashes, staring intently at the cherry lips on the fair face beneath him, which were set against the backdrop of red clothes. A strange desire suddenly swept through his heart.

Originally intending to tease this arrogant and domineering junior sister, unexpectedly...

But it stirred up his own desires.

He suddenly realized something, his body stiffened, and his hands stopped moving.

※※※※※

Tang Leyan breathed a slight sigh of relief when she noticed that the other party had suddenly stopped.

"Alright then..." the man spoke again, his eyelashes still drooping, seemingly looking at something. Suddenly, he slowly licked his alluring lips. To Le Yan, this action was breathtaking. Even a seductive woman like Chu Gexing, when making this gesture, possessed a sexy and languid charm that made her heart flutter.

"What...do you want to do?" The audacious man's face was now completely red.

“I…I just want…” He finally slowly raised his head, admiring her embarrassed and annoyed expression, then suddenly smiled sarcastically, “I just want to know what your purpose is in coming to Shundu…What do you think I want to do?”

Chapter Nineteen: The Tail

"I just want to know what your purpose is in coming to Shundu," Chu Gexing's gaze swept from her fair neck to her flushed face, and he asked teasingly, "Leyan, what do you think I'm going to do?"

"I thought?" Tang Leyan raised an eyebrow, not one to back down either, and laughed instead of getting angry. "I thought the Nine Gates Admiral wanted to kill me to silence me."

"Oh?" He was slightly surprised. "This answer is quite unexpected."

"Really?" Tang Leyan looked at him. "The 'Book of Freedom' from Tianmiao Peak has been stolen. Haven't you heard, Chu Gexing?"

"Hmm?" Chu Gexing frowned, then relaxed. "This seems to have happened last year. What, you still haven't caught them? With the strength of Tianmiao Peak, do you really need to personally take action?"

“When dealing with an unusual opponent, you naturally need unusual people to take action.” Tang Leyan smiled, her eyes darting towards Chu Gexing.

"Leyan, you're quite confident." Chu Gexing sighed, slightly moved: "You came all the way to Shundu just for this?"

"Whether it is or not is none of your business."

"Could it be that you already have someone you suspect in your heart?"

"How could I possibly answer a question that could leak confidential information?"

"Are you doubting..."
