Wei Liao said stiffly.

“It’s just an ordinary fan.”

With that, he was about to snatch the fan back.

How could Yu Niaoniao let him get away so easily?

She gripped the fan tightly and refused to let go.

The two of them grabbed the ends of the folding fan and refused to give in. They looked like they were about to fight at any moment.

The surrounding people looked at the two of them in confusion, not understanding what they were doing.

Yu Niaoniao deliberately pretended to be puzzled.

“But I remember that it was Master Wang’s fan. It’s impossible for me to remember wrongly.”

“Why don’t you show it to us? If it’s really not Master Wang’s fan at the village entrance, I’ll apologize to you now.”

Then she looked at the others and asked.

“Don’t you want to see if that fan was done by Master Wang at the Village

Entrance?”

Everyone was naturally extremely curious.

They all spoke up, wanting Wei Liao to open his folding fan for everyone to see.

Of course, Wei Liao was unwilling. “This is my fan. Why should I show it to you?!” He pulled the fan back harder.

Yu Niaoniao staggered and almost fell on him.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and reached out a foot to step on the leg of the stool Wei Liao was sitting on. She barely managed to maintain her balance.

She gripped the fan tightly with both hands.

“Are you feeling guilty?”

Wei Liao threatened, “If you don’t let go, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

Yu Niaoniao was not afraid. “If you’re anxious, you must be guilty!” Wei Liao suddenly raised his hand and poked her eye!

Out of human instinct, Yu Niaoniao subconsciously closed her eyes.

Wei Liao’s hand grabbed a direction in midair and fell. He tapped her wrist twice.

Yu Niaoniao felt her hand go numb, and her grip softened.

Wei Liao took the opportunity to pull out his folding fan.

Yu Niaoniao opened her eyes and realized that she had been tricked.

In exasperation, she picked up the teacup on the table beside her and splashed the tea in his face.

The tea had been there for a while. It was not very hot and would not burn

anyone.

But it was still water. It would definitely be embarrassing to be splashed with water in front of so many people.

Especially with Wei Liao’s flashy personality, he definitely did not want to be in such a sorry state.

Yu Niaoniao thought he would cover his face with his sleeve.

She could take the opportunity to snatch the fan from him.

Unexpectedly, Wei Liao only turned around and put the fan into his pocket, using his sleeve to block it from being splashed by water. In the end, the tea splashed on the side of his face.

Water dripped down his cheeks.

Everyone present was stunned.

Yu Niaoniao was stunned on the spot and asked in disbelief.

“Why didn’t you dodge?”

Wei Liao casually wiped the tea off his face with a dark expression. He looked at Yu Niaoniao as if he was going to tear her apart in the next moment.

“Are you done?!”

Yu Niaoniao felt a little guilty.

She took out the silk handkerchief she carried and handed it over.

“Wipe it off.”

Wei Liao wanted to refuse, but his hand reached out.

By the time he reacted, the silk handkerchief was in his hand.

Yu Niaoniao defended herself softly, “You provoked me first. I wanted to ask you to help introduce me to the troupe master, but you brought me here and deliberately taunted me. You wanted to see me make a fool of myself. I was so angry that I retaliated.”

Wei Liao scolded angrily as he wiped the water off his face with a silk handkerchief.

“At most, I teased you a little. But you attacked me directly. Fortunately, the tea was cold. If it had just been boiled, I would have been disfigured.”

“I’m in my prime now and haven’t married or had children. If you disfigure me, what will I do for the rest of my life? Can you bear the responsibility?!”

Yu Niaoniao could not raise her head.

She said awkwardly, “I can take responsibility.”

Wei Liao was stunned.

He had deliberately made the matter sound serious to occupy the moral high ground and criticize Yu Niaoniao fiercely.

Unexpectedly, Yu Niaoniao was really willing to take responsibility.

How did she want to be responsible?

Did she want to take care of him for the rest of his life?

Immediately after, he heard Yu Niaoniao continue.

“I can send you off in your old age.”

Wei Liao was speechless.

Although the meaning was the same, why did it make him want to beat her up? Wei Liao sneered. “Hehe, I’m not dead yet, and you want to send me off?”

Yu Niaoniao forced herself to defend herself. “This is called being prepared.”

Before Wei Liao could retaliate, her eyes suddenly widened as she pointed at the folding fan in Wei Liao’s arms.

“Aiya, your fan seems to be a little wet. Wipe it off!”

Wei Liao’s heart tightened. Before his mind could react, he had already taken out his folding fan to see if it was really wet.

Yu Niaoniao took the opportunity to rush over and pinch the top of the fan.

Wei Liao immediately pulled back his fan.

Unexpectedly, his actions met Yu Niaoniao’s expectations.

She only pinched a small corner of the fan, but when Wei Liao pulled it back, it opened with a whoosh!

The portrait depicted on the fan was exposed to everyone.

Everyone present widened their eyes in unison, unable to hide the surprise on their faces.

Wasn’t the drawing of the female princess in The Record of the Phoenix Cry Nation?

Even though Wei Liao quickly put away his folding fan, it was too late.

He glared at Yu Niaoniao.

“Look what you did!”

Not only was Yu Niaoniao not afraid, but she also giggled at him.

She wanted to see how he would clean up this mess.

Wei Liao had a headache.

He had clearly scolded Master Wang at the Village Entrance the most, but in the end, he actually hid the folding fan drawn by Master Wang at the Village Entrance. Wasn’t this slapping his own face?

If everyone questioned him later, he would not even be able to defend himself.

Forget it, let’s not care about this. The best plan was to leave.

Just as he was about to find an excuse to slip away, Zheng Changle rushed up to him and asked anxiously.

“Brother Wei, Brother Wei, where did you get this fan?” Wei Liao felt even more guilty and raised his voice. “Why should I tell you?”

“Brother Wei, sell this fan to me. You can name any price!”

As Zheng Changle spoke, he began to take out banknotes.

Seeing this, the others were shocked by Zheng Changle’s actions and questioned him.

“Brother Zheng, how can you do this? Don’t you hate Master Wang at the Village Entrance like us?”

“It’s fine if Brother Wei betrays us now, but why are you betraying us too?”

“Have you forgotten what you said before? You swore to the heavens that you would never read Master Wang’s books again!”

Zheng Changle’s fat face flushed red as he was forced to defend himself. “I only said not to read his books. I didn’t say not to read his paintings..”
