In the other room, Xiao Zhan watched Mu Pingting's disappearing figure and felt her head hurt. Was this damned girl not afraid that she would be lured away by Jiang Chenbi?

"Prince, I've been busy lately, so I hope you won't mind." Jiang Chenbi's gaze darkened, and the smile on his face became even more obvious. He never thought that Mu Pingting would actually be so sensible and give her such a good chance.

Xiao Zhan only nodded slightly, and did not bother with Jiang Chenbi. Just as he was about to get up, he felt someone grabbing his sleeve. He turned his head to look, only to see Jiang Chenbi staring at him with eyes wide opened, looking pitifully at him.

"I don't know if Miss Jiang has anything important to say to stop this king." Xiao Zhan pulled back his sleeves without leaving a trace. Although he was not obsessed with cleanliness, he still did not like being in contact with this kind of woman.

"Your highness hasn't even eaten Chenbi's pastries, how can you just leave like that?" Jiang Chenbi pouted, her face filled with grievance.

Her appearance had entranced Han Shengyuan who knows how many times. Although Xiao Zhan had a higher status, but in terms of cultivation, he was definitely the same as Han Shengyuan. No man could endure the coquettish actions of a girl.

Just as Jiang Chenbi's plan was working extremely well, she heard Xiao Zhan speak in a cold voice, "Miss Jiang, please let go of your hand."

Xiao Zhan's face darkened and his tone was so cold that it seemed as though it could turn into ice. How could Jiang Chenbi have imagined that her method of trying it out a hundred times would be ineffective? She was shocked, and the hand that was holding onto his sleeves loosened, allowing Xiao Zhan to quickly take out his sleeves.

It seemed like he could simply throw away the clothes he was wearing today. Even if he didn't throw it, he would never wear it again.

"My prince, Chenbi only wants you to have a taste. Why do you have to be so fierce towards Chenbi?" Jiang Chenbi calmed herself down very quickly but she still did not give up and continued to act pitifully.

She did not believe that she would be immune to Xiao Zhan's Hundred Souls technique. Since Xiao Zhan was a normal man, he would definitely act like a normal man, and wouldn't be able to resist the allure of a woman.

"Your Highness, after hearing what you said yesterday, Chenbi has enjoyed it very much. Could it be that Your Highness is so stingy that she doesn't want to teach Chenbi anymore?" Jiang Chenbi pulled up Xiao Zhan's sleeves once again and lowered her eyes. Her eyes that were covered by her eyelashes started to shine with a faint water light, as if she was feeling sorry for him.

"This King does not want to say it a second time." Xiao Zhan's gaze darkened, and the haze in the depths of his eyes grew even more obvious.

The current Xiao Zhan was no longer his usual self. The carefree expression on his face had long since disappeared. Her long and narrow phoenix eyes slightly narrowed as a dark glint flashed past them, and he sent out a signal of danger.

This was the first time Jiang Chenbi had seen Xiao Zhan in such a state. She was scared stiff, her knees began to go weak, and she staggered a few steps backwards.

Xiao Zhan patted his sleeves, the sharp look in his eyes receding, his expression still the same carefree look. Compared to the Xiao Zhan who was emitting a threatening aura, it was like a completely different person!

"Prince …" Jiang Chenbi glanced at Xiao Zhan with lingering fear. If not for the change in his expression which greatly shocked her, she would have thought that he had misjudged him.

After all, the man in front of her still had a smile on his face. Even though the smile did not reach his eyes and gave people a sense of estrangement, it did not cause them to feel such deep pressure.

"Miss Jiang, this king is a little curious. I wonder if you can explain it to this king." Xiao Zhan met those black eyes that were filled with grievance, and said coldly.

When Jiang Chenbi heard this, the bottom of her eyes flashed, she felt that she had grasped onto the hope to turn the situation around: "As long as it's something that I know, I will definitely try my best to answer for your highness."

"I'm very curious as to how the Jiang manor discipline its children."

Jiang Chenbi was startled, she was at a loss at her words: "Prince, what does that mean?"

I don't see any behavior from Miss Jiang that a lady should have." Her dark brown eyes were filled with ridicule. "This King thinks that there will never be a girl from a noble family who would pull on the sleeves of an unfamiliar man. Furthermore, no matter how others warn her, she is unwilling to let it go.

Such straightforward words didn't leave any room for misunderstanding. Jiang Chenbi's face immediately turned red, she lowered her head, and her fingers anxiously stirred the corners of her clothes, "Your Highness … Don't you even understand what Chenbi means? "

"Oh?" Xiao Zhan's last sentence rose, "This king really doesn't understand. Miss Jiang, please explain to this duke the profound meaning behind your actions earlier. "

"My prince, the reason why Chenbi would do such a thing …" Jiang Chenbi then paused, after a long while, as if she made a huge decision, she raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Zhan seriously, "It's because of Chenbi, your highness."

Xiao Zhan's identity was expensive, and his looks were extraordinary, so he did not normally hear any gossip about him. Other than the poison in his body, there seemed to be no other unsatisfactory conditions.

Furthermore, even though he had such a strange ailment, the Emperor had already ordered Mu Pingting to treat it, so he would definitely improve upon it. If even this flaw could be ignored, then Xiao Zhan was a perfect prey.

"Your Highness, do you know that ever since Chenbi saw you for the first time, she had already wholeheartedly pounced on you? Chenbi sees every single move of the Prince's, and places it in her heart. " Jiang Chenbi had originally wanted to get close to Xiao Zhan, but she estimated that the threatening gaze from before could not make it to that step.

"The Prince likes big sister, but Chenbi doesn't want to trouble you, so she never revealed her intentions. It's just that Chenbi was unable to hold it in anymore today, Your Highness, Big Sis did not even put you in her heart, it's not worth it for you to treat me like this! "

Jiang Chenbi originally thought that with her words, no matter how much Xiao Zhan hated her, he would still cause some trouble for her. Unexpectedly, his expression was still as cold as before, and the ridicule in his eyes became even more intense.

"Miss Jiang, your actions make this king even more puzzled." Xiao Zhan sneered, "I wonder if Vice Minister Jiang can give you a word called shame. If not, This King will tell you today, I hope you remember this well! "

After saying that, Xiao Zhan swatted his sleeves and left, leaving Jiang Chenbi alone with an unsettled expression on his face.

After Mu Pingting returned from Old Madame Mu's room, the little maidservant on duty told her what happened just now. Her face was filled with worry: "Miss, your words are too ruthless, Miss Jiang doesn't look good, should we send someone to comfort her?"
