Ninth Huang Shu Is Back

(Translated by: RenRen, Edited by: Yzrahc`dryzzle, Proofread by: Strix)

“That…… I…… “ Hearing Xiao Chen’s question, Ning XiangYuan’s cheeks suddenly reddened. She stared at Xiao Chen’s matchless, handsome face with amazement filling her eyes. Even if he was frowning, he had somehow made people feel intoxicated.

Ning XiangYuan was thinking about who the person in front of her was and on how to ask when she saw Yin Qiao ran towards them in a rush from afar. Seeing Xiao Chen, Yin Qiao’s face turned slightly pale and she instantly kneeled on the ground, saying, “This servant greets Ninth Huang Shu.”

“Ninth…… Ninth Huang Shu?” Ning XiangYuan was startled by Yin Qiao’s greeting. She raised her gaze to look, turns out the man standing in front of her was the renowned Ninth Huang Shu. Ninth Huang Shu had always been ‘could see the Holy dragon’s head but couldn’t see the tail’. It was the first time Ning XiangYuan ever saw Ninth Huang Shu’s appearance from such a close distance.

“Greetings Ninth Huang Shu.” Ning XiangYuan promptly bowed and saluted.

“En.” Xiao Chen frowned and casted a faint glance at Yin Qiao. Since it was someone Yin Qiao followed, she was definitely a guest Jing Yue brought back home. Xiao Chen thought like that and shook his head in helplessness. Did this woman take advantage of the fact that he wasn’t at home, and run rampant?

Thinking like that, Xiao Chen no longer said anything. He strode past the two and turned to leave. Ning XiangYuan stood up. A peculiar light flashed in her eyes as she stared at the figure that was striding away. ‘Turns out this is the legendary Ninth Huang Shu ah.’

‘She didn’t expect she actually had the fortune to see Ninth Huang Shu from such a close distance.’

“Miss Ning.” Staring at Xiao Chen’s leaving back, Yin Qiao slowly released a breath and said, “Huang Fei said that Miss ShangGuan is already waiting for you at the w.a.n.g fu’sgate, and that miss should go there now.”

“A…… O……” Ning XiangYuan slowly took her gaze back and walked following Yin Qiao’s lead. All the way out of the w.a.n.gFu, Ning XiangYuan still looked like she hadn’t regained her soul back. ShangGuan LingLan watched her in bafflement and questioned her several times. However, Ning XiangYuan didn’t respond.

After Jing Yue sent the two persons away and went back to Lian Yuan, she straight away found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in Lian Yuan. She immediately stopped her footsteps in vigilance. She looked at Yin Qiao with a very cautious and serious look, and asked, “Yin Qiao, don’t you find our courtyard suddenly became a lot quieter?”

“Ninth Huang Shu is back.” Yin Qiao quietly said the  sentence while bowing her head down.

“What!?” Jing Yue was so shocked that she almost jumped and felt like she had lost her soul. She blinked her eyes. Not until Jing Yue walked into the room and saw Xiao Chen sitting on the couch, leisurely drinking tea, that she finally had a response, ‘Xiao Chen is back?’

‘When did it happen?’

‘Why did she completely have no idea about it?’

Xiao Chen stared at Jing Yue with narrowed eyes and put the teacup in his hand down before saying,  “The people have been sent off?”

“Ke ke(cough)…… sent…… have been sent off.” Jing Yue stood frozen without daring to budge.

“They are your friends?” Xiao Chen asked again.

“Yes……” Jing Yue’s head was drooping even lower. She is currently living under someone’s roof ah! At first, it should have been all right to take her friends inside and play, taking advantage of Xiao Chen’s absence, but then why did Xiao Chen suddenly come back? Moreover, it seemed like he had been back for quite a long time!

She was caught red-handed ah!

Seeing Jing Yue’s appearance as she hung her head down, a smile flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. He spoke with a deep voice, “Without Benw.a.n.g’s permission, secretly taking outsiders into the fu, you say, how should Benw.a.n.g punish you?”

“This……. That……” Hearing Xiao Chen’s words, Jing Yue felt panic, pondering over how she should explain. However, once Jing Yue raised her gaze and saw those blank and unwavering black eyes of Xiao Chen, she instantly hung her head down in silence. She pouted and said, “I was wrong……”
