Qianbei Xun and Zuo Chen returned to the mansion. Feng Qianhuan immediately noticed that Zuo Chen, who had viewed Qianbei Xun with enmity, was now tagging along behind him in a docile manner as if the latter was his own relative.

Feng Qianhuan was shocked. She could not comprehend what could have happened which would cause such a big change in Zuo Chen attitude towards Qianbei Xun.

Of course, she was unaware that her little brother, Zuo Chen, has been bribed with a spiritual beast.

"Qianbei Xun." Feng Qianhuan pursed her lips as she turned towards him with a complex look in her eyes. "You've offended those people from the Imperial Palace for my sake. Some people had come by to arrest you earlier on but I had chased them away."

Arrest me?

Qianbei Xun paused as a sense of cockiness appeared on his handsome features. "Who do they think they are? They don't have the right to imprison me! Xue'er, since I've decided on making you my wife, I won't let anyone hurt you."

"That's right." Zuo Chen nodded in confirmation and smiled in an adorable manner. "Brother-in-law, you must know how much those people have bullied my sister. I want to learn from you as much as I can and destroy those people in the future to avenge my sister!"

Feng Qianhuan was shocked again. She went into a daze as if a bolt of lightning had just struck from the sky.

Brother-in-law?

When had this kid started saying these words so fluently? More importantly, how has this kid betrayed me so easily?

Feng Qianhuan watched in shock as Zuo Chen turned towards Qianbei Xun and blinked. "Brother-in-law, the guest room of my sister's residence is too cluttered and dirty. The palace maidens are very busy as well and don't have the time to neaten it up for you. You'll sleep under the same roof as my sister."

"Zuo Chen!"

Feng Qianhuan gritted her teeth. This was the first time she wanted to dish out some violence on this damned kid.

When had the guest rooms of the residence become cluttered and dirty? Furthermore, what does he mean by 'the palace maids are very busy'? The palace maids do this for a living! In the end, this damned kid, Zuo Chen, has actually betrayed me!

Does he even want Qianbei Xun to be the same room as me?

"That's not a bad idea." Qianbei Xun nodded. "In that case, I shall live with your sister."

Looks like he had made the right move by gifting that spiritual beast to this kid. His indulgence towards this kid had not gone to waste! Now, has he not gained the advantage of being in a favored position?

"You will live next door."

Feng Qianhuan swept her gaze towards Qianbei Xun as she replied steadily.

"That..." Qianbei Xun blinked at her. "Depends on my mood."

That depends on his mood?

Feng Qianhuan rubbed her forehead in exasperation. "I'm tired and I'm going to rest. Also, I'm warning you! You are not allowed to step into my room."

As she was saying her piece, she had turned and shot Qianbei Xun a glare as she warned him fiercely.

The fiery-haired girl then left without a second look back...

Qianbei Xun stared at her as she left. The corners of his lips curled up into a grin as his black eyes watched her until her figure disappeared into the setting sun...

"Brother-in-law." Zuo Chen poked Qianbei Xun with his elbow. "This is all I can do to help you. Whether you get to hold the beauty in the end would depend on your own abilities. Furthermore, let me tell you a secret, I heard that someone from the Spirit Sect had sent my Imperial Father an engagement present not too long ago and wants to marry my sister. My sister is still unaware of this so you must be careful."

The Spirit Sect?

A glint flashed across Qianbei Xun's eyes and he chuckled scornfully.

So, even a member of the Spirit Sect dares to fight me for my woman? That fellow thinks too highly of himself!

I won't give anyone who catches my eye away to another man!HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH *dies laughing*
