Chapter 617: Invitation To A Gathering

He looked at her and Anya seemed clearly intoxicated, her eyes shining with a hint of moisture, her cheeks flushed.

This subject is not easy to approach casually... Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, thinking about it, and suddenly laughed out loud.

“What are you laughing at?” Anya was puzzled, her expression somewhat confused.

Qin Feng explained, “I just thought of something interesting. Do you know what the typical reaction of the female lead in those martial arts novels would be if she was saved by someone?”

“What reaction?” Anya asked curiously.

“The first kind, if the man who rescued her is handsome and elegant, then the female lead would most likely say, ‘I cannot repay your kindness, I can only offer myself.’”

“The second kind, if the man who rescued her has an ordinary appearance, or even looks a little ugly, then the female lead would use a different excuse – ‘I am unable to repay your kindness, I was originally born to be a servant.’”

“Since you owe me a favour and are thinking of offering yourself, I seem to belong to the first type of situation.”

Upon hearing this, Anya blinked and then chuckled, “Dean Qin, you’re so witty, no wonder you can win the hearts of Liu Jianli and the Dragon Clan women. I just wonder who will be the next unfortunate girl?”

Qin Feng waved his hand, “Having two wives is already satisfying enough, how could I dare to continue flirting with other women?”

Anya’s expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and said with a smile, “That’s true. Dean Qin’s two wives, any man in the world who can have one of them would probably feel like he’s dreaming even when he’s awake.”

“Let’s not talk about it anymore, let’s hurry and eat while it’s still hot, these are the signature dishes of my Moonlit Pavilion.”

“In that case, I won’t be polite.”

After a satisfying lunch, when Qin Feng saw that it was almost time, he planned to return to Peaceful Academy with Anya.

But Anya seemed to have drunk quite a bit and still looked a bit tipsy. She said, “You go ahead. Since you’ve taken up some of my time with your classes, it’s okay if I come back later.”

“Do you want me to get you a room to rest in?” Qin Feng asked worriedly.

Anya shook her head. “I can rest here for a while. It’s getting late; you should hurry back.”

Seeing her insistence, Qin Feng didn’t push any further. After instructing the waiter, he said goodbye and left.

Inside the private room, only Anya remained.

Leaning against the window, she watched Qin Feng’s departing figure on the street. Her eyes were blurred with intoxication. It wasn’t until he disappeared into the bustling crowd that she absentmindedly withdrew her gaze.

There was still a sip of wine in the cup on the table.

Anya reached for the cup and muttered to herself, “He didn’t even bother to finish the wine before he left. What a waste.”

The Crown Prince obviously had this intention in mind.

“I see,” Qin Feng nodded in understanding.

Since they had worked together to expose the rats in the Imperial City, their relationship had become much closer, similar to the bond between close friends.

So he also knew that the mastermind behind the Star Seizing Tower within the Imperial City and many of the brothels was actually the Crown Prince himself.

And wasn’t the person who bought the Flying Sky Courtyard the manager of the Star Seizing Tower?

“So what is Brother Qin’s answer?”

“It’s Brother Jinwen’s invitation, so there’s no reason not to go,” Qin Feng turned to look at the academy and suddenly asked, “Can students from Peaceful Academy come along?”

“With the Imperial Exam approaching, each of them is under immense pressure. If they could relax a bit, it would be more conducive to their performance.”

“The literary gathering is supposed to be lively, so the more participants, the better. Brother Qin, feel free to make arrangements,” the Crown Prince said with a smile.

Qin Feng nodded, and the two of them chatted for a while.

As they were about to part ways, Qin Feng suddenly asked, “By the way, Brother Jinwen, have you not been resting well lately? You don’t seem to be in good health.”

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince glanced around, did not see the figure in white robes, and sighed helplessly, “Anya came to your Peaceful Academy to teach in order to break through her realm. Naturally, the responsibilities of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion fell on my shoulders.”

“Managing the Star-Seizing Tower and the brothels has already kept me very busy, and now with the addition of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion...”

“Sigh, I don’t know what His Majesty was thinking when he made such arrangements.”

“So, the person mentioned earlier was you...” Qin Feng’s expression turned strange. “Brother Jinwen, you’ve been through a lot.”

The prince waved his hand dismissively. “I won’t discuss these matters with you. I’m still unfamiliar with the business of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion. I need to mingle more.”

“By the way, the Literary Gathering will be held on the half moon. Don’t forget. You can bring your family as well.”

With that, the prince respectfully took his leave.

“Literary Gathering...” Qin Feng rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

In his previous life, there was a classic scene where a transmigrator like him would show off and slap others during the Literary Gathering. But considering his current status and reputation in the Imperial City, there probably wouldn’t be any foolish individuals willing to provoke him.

He couldn’t help but shake his head with a touch of regret.
