When Qi Qingyao and Si Jin went back, Lu Yan was sitting outside in the covered corridor, watching the moon and snow. When he noticed that she had been running back here all flustered, he was shocked. “Did you really go peep at them in the baths?”

Qi Qingyao replied moodily, “I did, and I was caught and almost killed.”

Lu Yan, “…”

Qi Qingyao relayed what had happened previously briefly. Lu Yan was speechless when she got to the end. Qi Qingyao rambled excitedly, “But I saw quite a few naked bodies! This trip was worth it, it was so exciting! Wonderful!”

“You…” The way you think is really dangerous, young lady!

“Do you want to peek at women taking baths? Who knows, you might awaken some kind of new emotions,” Qi Qingyao said seriously.

Lu Yan, “…”

He did not even spare her a look.

He turned to look toward the sky.

Qi Qingyao sat beside Lu Yan and offered an analysis of the situation. She seriously felt that if he were to take a look or two at the naked bodies of women, he might awaken his male instincts instead of always running away. Lu Yan heard her speech but did not say anything.

Si Jin was standing to the side, nodding along to her words without fully understanding.

He thought to himself that he had also seen a naked woman’s body before, but did not have any reaction.

Hold on a minute, was it because he and the humans were different races?

However, at the lower level, fish had no sexes. They were only divided into males or females when they evolved to a higher level!

No, that was not it. He had seen them before and he was definitely not interested in fish either!!!

Everyone was having different thoughts at the moment.

A maid suddenly walked over and bowed slightly. She said, “My lady, somebody is looking for you.”

“Who is it?” Qi Qingyao fished out some groundnuts from her sleeves, shelling them and popping them into her mouth.

The maid replied, “There is a gentleman who wants to invite you to the Qingyi Pavilion.”

Qi Qingyao rejected the invitation wearily. “Just tell him I’m in the toilet and am temporarily unable to entertain him.”

“But the gentleman also said that if you refuse to go, you should await continuous attempts on your life.”

Qi Qingyao, “…” Damnit, this was a blatant threat!

She pondered for a bit. By the looks of it, it should not be the same person who was trying to kill her from back then. She turned to say, “Si Jin, take care of the children.”

Si Jin nodded.

Qi Qingyao looked toward Lu Yan. “Old Lu, please join me in my appointment!”

Lu Yan, “…” She must have offended someone in the hot springs!

Nevertheless, he accompanied her to Qingyi Pavilion. The heavy snow was glistening under the moonlight and there was someone standing inside the Pavilion. He had both hands tucked behind his back as he looked up at the moon.

Lu Yan muttered, “So it’s him.”

“Someone you know?” Qi Qingyao pretended not to know the person.

Lu Yan, “…” Did she have to pretend not to know him?

Qi Qingyao pressed her lips together. Raising the corners of her lips, she slowly entered the pavilion. “Gentleman, have you come looking for me for something?” she asked while feigning ignorance.

Jiang Yeqian turned around and looked at her quietly. After a moment, he said, “I’m Jiang Yeqian.”

Qi Qingyao, “Oh.”

Jiang Yeqian knew the woman was shrewd and sufficiently alert. She was probably afraid that someone in the shadows was watching them or eavesdropping so she deliberately pretended not to know him. He understood this.

However!

“Did you go mad just now, running to peek at men in the baths!”

“What’s it got to do with you?” said Qi Qingyao.

Jiang Yeqian thought back to the scene from before and an uncontrollable anger grew in his chest. “What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? If it weren’t for my help, you would’ve already been killed by them.”

Qi Qingyao was mindful of his reputation. She bowed slightly and said without a trace of gratitude, “Thank you, Master Jiang.”

Master Jiang…

The words Master Jiang were said in such a disdainful tone!

He had never experienced this before.

When Jiang Yeqian recalled her being surrounded in the men’s bath just now, an inexplicable feeling of distress gripped him out of nowhere. He did not know if he was distressed about her seeing the bodies of several men or distressed that she was almost assaulted.

Either way, he was distressed!

Not to mention angry.
