CH 12.2

The days passed by through a series of questions and soon, it was 15th September.

The opportunity for her to show her talents had arrived!

With excitement surging in her mind, Lei Lei let go of her thoughts. Holding a beautiful white robe, she ran towards the hot spring behind the village. She made an extremely important decision in her heart — What was a playboy scholar? Our “Xiao Bai” is also very handsome!

“Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai!”

A warmth enveloped the hot spring. The young master was about to get out to dress, when he suddenly heard this shout. After coming to his senses, he retreated into the water in shock and looked up.

Lei Lei jumped out from behind a rock and shook loose the robe in her hand, “Xiao Bai, don’t wear those clothes today, wear this one!”

The young master was speechless.

Realising the peculiar situation, Lei Lei stood still holding the clothes. She carefully appreciated his beauty. You saw us once last time, so now let’s see you once. His figure seemed pretty good!

Getting chills from her gaze, the young master quickly calmed down. He was accustomed to this woman’s behaviour and did not lose his temper. He only said slightly reproachfully, “Get out.”

Get out? Lei Lei shook her head to rid herself of impure thoughts. She shook the new clothes, “Look, I got someone to make you a new outfit, just in time for you to wear it to today’s poetry meet.”

It was white with a silver trim, and it had faint gold threads shimmering throughout.

The young master glanced at it and felt that it was too extravagant, “No need.”

He did not appreciate it? Le Lei raised her eyebrows and her voice, “I entrusted a lot of people to make this, but you don’t want to wear it?”

The young master shook his head and insisted, “Get out.”

Lei Lei snorted and simply picked up his old clothes by the pool.

The young master suppressed his anger, “Stop causing trouble!”

“If you won’t wear it, then just don’t wear anything and go naked!” Knowing this person was easy to bully, Lei Lei did not take his objection seriously at all and triumphantly prepared to leave.

The young master became anxious and scolded, “Stop!”

Lei Lei stopped.

The young master had no choice but to say, “Put it down.”

Lei Lei was joyful, “Should have said so earlier!”

She put down the clothes as he said to, then as she was turning away, she inadvertently suddenly caught a glimpse of something — by the pool close to the young master, a light blue pendant was placed grandly.

With her interest piqued, Lei Lei began to ponder. The function of this Xuan Bing Stone seemed to be a secret that not many people knew about. Of course, she would not harm “Xiao Bai”, but her handsome elder brother would definitely think of other methods. Should she remind “Xiao Bai” to be careful?

Seeing that there was a difference in her gaze, the young master remained calm and asked, “What are you looking at?”

Lei Lei rolled her eyes and acted mischievously, “Of course I’m waiting for you to get up and try the clothes, get up!”

The young master was helpless, “Get out.”

Lei Lei comfortably teased him. She stood there with her arms crossed and her gaze became bolder, “Ah, are you afraid of me?”

“…”

In fact, if the young master really stood up from the water at this moment, this woman would run away immediately. It was a pity that although the young master understood this truth, the concept of men and women had been instilled in him since childhood and it made him reluctant to take this step. The result was that he could only obediently soak in the water and be teased. It would not be good to get angry and he could not call for someone to come. Feeling gloomy for a moment, he could only watch her silently, secretly calculating how thick this woman’s skin was.

So good looking! Lei Lei’s obsession was infinite.

Being watched endlessly, the young master’s dissatisfaction soon disappeared and his gloomy expression gradually returned to normal. In the end, he finally sighed and could not help but smile and say, “Come here.”

He actually called me over? Lei Lei was bewitched by his smile and did not think at all. Her feet started to move as if she was possessed and she really went over, closer to the handsome man. Some details could be seen more clearly and her blood surged. She dared not to continue looking down and immediately raised her gaze a bit to avoid having a nosebleed on the spot.

The young master smiled devilishly, “Come.”

What did Xiao Bai want to do? Lei Lei’s eyes were shining and she bent down.

The young master reached out and touched her acupoints. Then he quickly turned her around and stood up, picking her up by the back of her collar and throwing her lightly.

Lei Lei flew lightly over the rock, settling behind it like a toad.

“Xiao Bai!” She gritted her teeth.

“…”

The young master’s expression did not change. He got up and dressed.

He unlocked her acupoints. The angry Lei Lei was released. Seeing him still wearing his old blue and white robe, she immediately became more angry. She disregarded all else and quickly picked up the white robe on the ground, “Change into this one!”

The young master remained silent and turned around to leave.

Lei Lei had always been a persistent person. She grabbed him immediately, heartbroken, “You don’t understand my painstaking troubles at all, you don’t know how much effort this outfit took me, how much heart and soul! I won’t let you not change into it today!”

Seeing her reach out to pull at his belt, the young master was embarrassed and picked her up to throw her away.

A scream.

This was not the expected effect. The young master turned around confusedly and found her lying on the ground. Immediately, he walked over to help her up and said nervously, “You… Are you alright?”

“Of course I’m not!” Lei Lei was blunt, yelling with red eyes, “My hand, you hurt me!”

The young master was doubtful, “I didn’t use any strength…”

Lei Lei complained, “You know martial arts. You could hurt me even if you don’t use any strength!”

Her reasoning seemed logical. The young master felt a little guilty and did not know how to comfort her, “I…”

Lei Lei rolled up her long sleeves, not caring about exposing her snowy white arms at all. She felt extremely aggrieved, “You said you didn’t use any strength, but it hurts a bit, take a look yourself!”

With a jade-like arm before his eyes, the young master could not really look at it closely, but also could not simply not look at all. He just looked away and said in an apologetic tone, “I’ll take you to see a physician.”

“Forget it, forget it. It’ll be fine in two days,” Lei Lei lowered her arm graciously. She held onto his arm and rubbed her face against him, then lifted the white robe in her hand and said ingratiatingly, “Just wear it once, okay? This outfit really took me a lot of effort and I specially got someone to make it for you. I ran a long way!”

The young master hesitated for a moment, but did not object any longer.

At dusk, a carriage jolted along the main road, neither hastily or too slowly.

There was not much room inside the carriage. The young master sat inside, his body covered in the white robe with silver trim and golden patterns, looking more and more handsome. He was a little less mature and modest, and a little more elegant and cordial. It made Lei Lei, who was looking at him, practically drool. He always dressed so old-fashioned and formal but having changed his outfit today, he looked like Prince Charming!

In fact, the young master originally planned to ride a horse, but Lei Lei pulled him in with the excuse of “How could a maid ride the carriage while the master rides a horse”. The young master originally did not care either way, and finding out that this woman did not mind and was even happy to approach men, he did not object.

Lei Lei had her own reasons. There were many people in the city and it was too unsafe for such a handsome beauty to ride a horse outside. How could the handsome beauty that she took so much effort to dress up fall into the hands of others? It was better to pull him in and create opportunities for individual contact.

Thinking of the upcoming poetry meet, she became more and more excited. She reviewed all the poems on various subjects that she had memorised and made up her mind. Tonight, she would show these ancient people what a top notch poem was like. Compared to the “number one talented scholar in the martial arts world”, she would become the “number one talented woman in the martial arts world”!

Turning around, she found that the young master did not seem to be in the mood. She immediately leant over and rubbed against him, “Xiao Bai!”

The young master looked at her.

Lei Lei rubbed her arm, her face full of grievance, “My arm still hurts a little!”

The young master’s mouth twitched.

Lei Lei rubbed against him more and more, “Xiao Bai—”

The young master got goosebumps from her calling him and he moved aside, “You…”

Lei Lei was angry, “Xiao Bai, my arm hurts!”

Sure enough, the young master no longer dodged her and let her lean on him.

Lei Lei thought of the poetry meet she was about to attend and asked confidently and cheerfully, “Will that Qin Liu Feng come today?”

The young master was stunned for a moment and remained silent.
