"I never thought that A Rong would actually be so popular. She attracted the attention of all the young masters the moment she lost her focus." Xuanyuan Chen said softly, her expression a little bitter.

Xie Qingrong let out a pfft and laughed out loud. Her expression was light and gentle as she teased: "Chen, are you jealous?"

She had long since known that Xuanyuan Chen had been severely jealous of someone just now, which was why he had brought her out of the Plum Garden without saying a word.

Xuanyuan Chen no longer had that bitter expression just now, and was rather helpless. Holding Xie Qingrong's hand, he gently scratched her palm, and helplessly said: "Oh you."

Xie Qingrong only felt a slight itch in her palm. Clenching her fist, she coldly snorted and coldly glanced at Xuanyuan Chen, and said: "Your highness isn't bad either. The eyes of those misses are all on you. "

Especially Liang Xiuxiu who did not know her place at all! She was so impatient that she wanted to come and find her presence.

Xuanyuan Chen shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and covered up the topic silently.

"Oh right, not long from now it will be Chief of the Ji Family's birthday. I wonder what this Chief of the Ji Family likes and what gift he should prepare?" Xie Qingrong suddenly thought about the invitation card that Ji Rufeng had given him that stated the time of the Chief of the Ji Family's birthday. As a result, she had no idea that she would have to send a gift of life to satisfy the Chief of the Ji Family.

The more powerful a clan was, the harder it was to serve them. After all, they had seen a lot of rare treasures, and the gifts they received every year were also rare and precious treasures.

Xuanyuan Chen pursed his lips and said: "I don't know what Chief of the Ji Family likes either, but I think there's someone who definitely knows about it."

Xie Qingrong slightly turned her head, and without hesitation, he said: "Ji Rufeng!"

"Yes." Xuanyuan Chen nodded in agreement before continuing: "How about I send someone to fix a letter and pass it to Ji Rufeng, inviting him to have a chat at the restaurant?"

Xuanyuan Chen brought Xie Qingrong to the previous restaurant. Just as he finished giving orders to the waiter, and before the fine wine and delicacies had even been served, Ji Rufeng entered the private box while stepping on the wind and snow.

A gust of cold air rushed towards his nose, causing Xie Qingrong to frown in displeasure, but she did not say anything.

"It seems I came early." Ji Rufeng chose a seat and sat in front of Xuanyuan Chen, and said indifferently.

"It's not too early, just in time, Brother Ji. This King has already instructed the waiter that good wine and good food will arrive soon." Xuanyuan Chen laughed faintly.

As expected, after a while, the waiter placed the delicacies that Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong had ordered onto the table one after another. Before he left, he especially closed the wooden door of the room.

Ji Rufeng wasn't polite and poured himself a cup of wine while holding the white and elegant wine pot. His slender fingers held onto the exquisite little wine cup and took a shallow sip, and laughed: "Prince Chen and Princess Consort Chen have sent a letter for me to come out and summon me here. I am sure they have something extremely important to discuss with me. I wonder what it is you want to discuss with me? "

Xuanyuan Chen chuckled, and said: "It's not really anything particularly important, I just want to know what the Chief of the Ji Family likes, or wants to get what they have yet to get."

Ji Rufeng's hand that was holding the wine cup paused. He had thought that Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong would call him out very urgently, as to what important things they were calling him, but he didn't think that it would actually be such a trivial matter.

The smile on his face faded as he drank the wine in his cup in one gulp. Then, he said, "Patriarch doesn't seem to have anything that he particularly likes, nor is there anything that he particularly wants." "However …"

As Ji Rufeng said till here, he hesitated, and his gaze involuntarily stopped at the arrow on Xie Qingrong's wrist, before he pretended to look away without changing his expression.

Xie Qingrong took in the entirety of Ji Rufeng's expression, curled her lips, and said with a light smile: "If Ji gongzi has something to say, feel free to say it.

However, Xie Qingrong already knew what the Chief of the Ji Family would like, and something started to take shape in her mind.

Sure enough, Ji Rufeng smiled and completed what he had just said, "Patriarch always likes to study these delicate mechanisms, especially the wrist arrow. Otherwise, when I saw the wrist arrow that day, I wouldn't have revealed that kind of astonished expression. It was completely under the influence of the Patriarch that he could not help but admire and play with these small and exquisite weapons. "

Xuanyuan Chen held onto his wine cup, and seemed to have suddenly realized something, as he smiled: "So that's the case, then this king thanks Ji gongzi for the hint."

After he finished speaking, he presented his wine cup in front of him and paid his respects to Ji Rufeng from afar.

Ji Rufeng laughed, and poured wine into his own cup, doing the same action as Xuanyuan Chen, and then drank the wine in his own cup in one gulp.

Xie Qingrong placed the chopsticks in her hand on the chopsticks, and lightly said: "Today, I invited Ji gongzi here, there is still a second matter, I wonder if Ji gongzi can help me with it."

"If Princess Consort Chen wants to ask about your identity, and the relationship between Ji Family and the Shang family, then I am very sorry. I can't tell you about these things, you can only rely on yourself to investigate. However, when I advise the Princess Consort Chen here, the truth would often be unsatisfactory. "

After Ji Rufeng finished speaking, he placed the chopsticks aside and stood up to bid his farewells.

Before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around and said with a smile: "Prince Chen, Princess Consort Chen, you don't have much time left. Wu Huan believed that it wouldn't be long before he would fight with the Heavenly Saint. As for the two countries, we must guard against them, especially the Chu Country. "

Ji Rufeng's face had a carefree smile, his eyes were clear, as though one could see his sincerity, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a dense indifference.

Xie Qingrong could clearly see the coldness in the depths of his eyes, but her expression still remained unchanged as she smiled, "Thank you for your reminder, Ji gongzi."

The moment Ji Rufeng walked out, the smile on his face quickly faded as his eyes became dark and cold.

Seeing that, Xuanyuan Chen held onto Xie Qingrong's icy cold fingertip, and asked with concern: What's wrong?

Just now, he didn't notice the change in Ji Rufeng's expression, so he didn't understand the reason behind the change in Xie Qingrong's expression.

Xie Qingrong said indifferently: "I just discovered some interesting things. I have to be careful with Ji Rufeng. " Xie Qingrong knew that Ji Rufeng did not look like the surface that he looked like, just like Shen Haoxuan.

It was just that Ji Rufeng was a bit better at concealing his own methods than Shen Haoxuan. If it wasn't for his sensitivity and perception towards his emotions, he probably wouldn't have been able to see the indifference that Ji Rufeng was hiding under.

"Yes." Xuanyuan Chen indifferently replied, but he did not have any intention of pursuing the matter to the end. To him, he had already given all his trust to Xie Qingrong.

Since Xie Qingrong planned to guard against him, then he would guard against him too.
