After looking at the thirty thousand strong army leave Qi Zhou city, Yan Xiao then said to Yan Jue who was beside him: "Find a way for the people from xieqing to know that Ye Man has failed."
"That's easy, leave it to me."
Yan Jue patted his chest, and turned to walk down the city gate, just in time to see Shen Qin walking towards them. He raised his eyebrow, and turned his head to look at Yan Xiao who had also seen Shen Qin, and said: "Your little adopted daughter is here, grab the chance."
As he spoke, he gave him an ambiguous wink.
He did not know why, but when Yan Xiao saw Shen Qin this time, he was a little nervous. As a result, when Yan Jue winked at him, he raised his leg and kicked him.
Yan Jue dodged to the side quickly. When he saw that Shen Qin was getting closer, he shouted loudly on purpose: "I was wrong, Sixth Brother, I was wrong. Don't hit me, if you don't want to marry, then don't.
He purposely said the last two words for Shen Qin to hear. When he passed by Shen Qin, his face darkened, and said: "Miss Shen, your master intends to be a monk for the rest of his life. Stay far away from him;
Shen Qin was startled, before she could understand the meaning of Yan Jue's "broken ring", Yan Jue had already ran far away.
Yan Xiao didn't hear what Yan Jue said, he only saw him being so close to Shen Qin, and wanted to beat him up for no reason.
Shen Qin looked at Yan Jue's back in confusion, then turned and walked towards Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao was originally an extremely cold and detached person and no matter what happened, he maintained a calm and composed expression. It was unknown if it was because Yan Jue had been talking noisily in his ears many times over the past few days, but when he saw Shen Qin, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
He subconsciously stretched out his hands to adjust his clothes, and when Shen Qin walked over, she gave her a smile that she thought was warm and gentle. Shen Qin froze upon seeing her, almost being shocked by her master's look.
He felt that the pavilion master of the pavilion today was extremely perplexed.
"Pavilion Master."
She bowed slightly in front of him.
"Is Qin Er looking for me?"
Shen Qin already could not remember when Yan Xiao had first called her Qin Er. In the beginning, it was only because the pavilion master had teased her, but after the number of times he had teased him or called him by any random form of address, Shen Qin had become accustomed to it.
Thus, after that, when Yan Xiao called her "Qin Er", she didn't have any special feelings towards him.
But now, why did she feel that the Pavilion Master was somewhat nervous?
Her gaze subconsciously fell on Yan Xiao's hand that was hanging by her side. She actually saw that he had subconsciously rubbed his hand on his clothes, as if he was wiping cold sweat.
This kind of action was somewhat out of place with the usually composed and calm temperament that he had.
As Shen Qin watched, the corner of her mouth subconsciously twitched. Other than that, there was no other reaction.
"Pavilion Master, this subordinate wants to ask the Pavilion Master. Now that the situation has been set, can this subordinate return to the capital first?"
Initially, when she came to Qi Zhou City with the army, it was also Yan Xiao's idea.
In the past, when Shen Qin was at the Pavilion, he had always been in charge of contacting Luo Xiong and the other hall masters of the Pavilion. This was also the reason why Yan Xiao brought her out this time.
However, she was not needed here. She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible and return to the capital.
"Are you in such a hurry to go back?"
As for the situation in Qi Zhou city, Yan Xiao had completely grasped it, so he knew that it would not be dangerous in Qi Zhou city right now, so he secretly hoped for Shen Qin to stay a few more days. Once he was done with the things here, he would return with her to the capital.
He did not expect Shen Qin to take the initiative and mention the matter of returning to the capital.
Upon hearing his question, Shen Qin was slightly taken aback. She retracted the strange look in her heart and said, "Back then when Pavilion Master ordered your subordinate to come together, father was always very worried. That's why this subordinate wants to return early so that father can be at ease."
Actually, this was only the reason that Shen Qin had asked for it. The real reason was that she did not want Yan Xiao to know about it.
Hearing that, Yan Xiao's brows tightened, he still felt that in the past few days, Shen Qin's body had been giving off a sense of alienation.
And this kind of alienation, made Yan Xiao feel very unhappy in his heart.
"Wait for another two days. After I finish explaining the things here, I'll return to the capital with you. Wait for another two days."
Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, he patiently said that to Shen Qin.
Shen Qin frowned, she bit her lower lip in a slightly awkward manner, and after a while, she made up her mind: "I won't hide it from Pavilion Master, father's letter told me to return to the capital, he showed me a marriage ceremony, because the other party …"
"Marriage?"
Shen Qin lowered her eyes and spoke to herself, she did not see Yan Xiao's darkening expression, and only after being interrupted by Yan Xiao's cold voice did she abruptly raise her head to look at him, startled by Yan Xiao's expression in front of her.
Seeing his gloomy face, it was as though a thick layer of ice had covered it. Even though she didn't touch it, she could feel a bone-piercing chill on his face.
She … What did he say wrong?
Shen Qin lowered his eyes and thought back to it carefully, as if she was right about everything.
However, the Pavilion Master in front of them was truly terrifying in appearance.
She had followed by Pavilion Master's side since she was seven, and she only knew that this was an elegant, noble, and extraordinary handsome man. Although he didn't smile in the past, he didn't have such a frightening appearance.
Seeing him shrink his pupils slightly, even Shen Qin himself felt his body involuntarily tremble.
"Pavilion..." Pavilion Master, did this subordinate say something wrong? "
She carefully looked at Yan Xiao and asked softly.
"Wrong?"
Yan Xiao snorted coldly, like an angry child, and said: "You're not wrong, it's just that I didn't think that the girl that I raised since I was young would already want to marry. It's just a little unexpected."
Yan Xiao gritted his teeth as he said this, but Shen Qin was still in a confused state. She could feel that Yan Xiao was angry, but he couldn't figure out why he was angry.
She even had a feeling that "Pavilion Master feels that the vegetables she raises are about to be butchered by a pig".
She really wanted to correct him. He raised her for three years and let her go back to her father's side. He never raised her from a young age.
However, Shen Qin was not stupid, her instincts told her that if she were to open her mouth and correct this matter, the pavilion master would very likely slap her to death.
She simply chose to remain silent. There were too many mistakes in her words. It was not wrong for her to remain silent, right?
Her silence was successfully interpreted as tacit agreement by Yan Xiao, and a ball of fire started to rise in her heart.
