Chapter 430 - Beat Up Gu Masters (4)

He was finally on the right track. His night of saliva was not in vain. The Gu Master put on his black cloak and brought Zi Su through the forest. He followed the route he had agreed with Fei Luo and came to another tent.

This tent was much more luxurious than Yu Wan and the others. It was almost comparable to the felt rooms on the grassland. From this, it could be seen that the owner of the tent had an extremely high status.

There were twenty guards guarding outside the tent. All of them were wearing cold armor and did not change to casual clothes because they had left the Capital.

“These are the guards sent by the Queen.” The Gu Master couldn’t help but brag and explain when he saw the little girl’s surprise.

“Oh.” Zi Su lowered her head.

What kind of reaction was this? Was she dumb? The Gu Master frowned and reminded, “Be smarter when you see Lord Fei Luo later. Don’t throw a tantrum. Remember that the lives of your two young masters are tied to you.”

“Okay.” Zi Su nodded.

She was most likely frightened by this formation, the Gu Master thought. The Gu Master did not take it to heart and got someone to report. Not long after, a little disciple walked out and said to the Gu Master, “You can go back now. Remember to follow the plan.”

The Gu Master glanced at Zi Su, who was not far away, and smiled. “Please tell Lord Fei Luo that everything is under my control.”

“You, come in!” After sending the Gu Master away, the junior disciple coldly called Zi Su into the tent.

This tent was spacious and tall. Zi Su could successfully enter without bending down. In fact, after entering, she could still stand upright. Her gaze landed on the man sitting on the ground. There was a small table in front of the man. There were fine wine, fruits, and snacks on the small table.

Fei Luo was a gentle and refined man. He looked to be less than thirty years old. He was wearing a high-grade jade brocade and had a slight accent. Not only did he not look old, but he also added a mature man’s charm.

If it was a young lady who had just stepped into the world, she would probably be charmed by her appearance at first glance.

The servants in the tent left. Zi Su lowered her head and did not say anything.

It was Fei Luo who broke the awkwardness between them. He put down the wine glass in his hand and smiled at Zi Su. “I see you again. Did I scare you?”

Zi Su shook her head. Fei Luo pointed to the cushions beside the small table, indicating for Zi Su to sit. Zi Su walked forward and knelt down on the cushion.

Fei Luo gave her a meaningful look.

Zi Su picked up the teapot and filled his cup. “Sir, please eat.”

Fei Luo’s eyes were much gentler. “You don’t have to be afraid of me. I don’t have any ill intentions towards you. I just admire you too much. If you’re really unwilling, I can let you go now.”

“I… I’m not unwilling,” Zi Su said with lowered eyes.

Fei Luo took a sip of the wine she had poured.

Zi Su whispered, “Gu Master Yu told me that Lord Fei Luo is an esteemed guest of the Queen Manor and asked me to serve you well. If you’re happy, I could obtain riches and glory.”

“Haha!” Fei Luo was amused by her unconcealed words. There had never been a lack of flattering people in this world, but it was really rare to flatter him like this. What was better than a maidservant who served others with her looks becoming a superior person? Wasn’t this saying that he would one day have monstrous power?

“I didn’t misjudge you. You’re worth my effort!” Fei Luo wasn’t stingy with expressing his good impression.

Zi Su filled his glass again.

“You drink too.” Fei Luo handed her the glass.

Zi Su shook her head. “I’ll have rashes if I drink. Can I eat?” If the first sentence of rejection made one frown, then the second request made one want to laugh.

Fei Luo realized that this girl’s words were very to his taste. He generously pointed at the things on the table. “Don’t be restrained if you want to eat.”

Zi Su peeled a fresh lychee and ate it heartily. These lychees were all transported by Her Highness the Queen. They were extremely sweet. Her eating style was different from before. The Gu Master pushed the plate in front of her. “Eat slowly. It’s all yours.”

“Will I… be able to eat it every day in the future?” Zi Su blinked and asked.

Fei Luo laughed and said, “As long as you follow me to the Queen Manor, you can eat whatever the Queen eats.” He was bragging, but shouldn’t he be bragging when coaxing women? Otherwise, why would they say that they would rather believe that there were ghosts in the world than believe a man’s words?

Fei Luo looked greedily at Zi Su, who was chewing on a lychee.

“Lord Fei Luo.” Zi Su suddenly looked at him and said, “Is the Queen easy to get along with? I’m a girl from the countryside. I’m afraid I won’t know the rules and offend her.”

Even with Fei Luo’s status, he might not be able to see the Queen, let alone a mere maidservant. If his master didn’t need a disciple or two, the Queen wouldn’t have sent someone to pick him up.

It was true that the people outside were guards of Her Highness the Queen, but they were not his personal guards. Of course, men cared about their pride and would not admit that they were insignificant.

Fei Luo said, “The Queen is a magnanimous person. I’ve never heard of her punishing a servant for offending her.”

“So she’s so good…” Zi Su muttered.

A trace of reverence flashed across Fei Luo’s eyes. “Her Highness has the world in her heart and cares about the people. She will never make things difficult for anyone.”

Zi Su still looked worried. “I heard… that the Queen Manor has a Prince Consort. How is the Prince Consort?”

Fei Luo smiled again. “There’s even less for you to worry about. Prince Consort’s more magnanimous and benevolent than the Queen.”

Zi Su continued, “What about their children? Are they also that good?”

Fei Luo smiled and said, “You’re talking about the royal grandson. The Queen is very strict with His Highness. She will never let him do anything that would humiliate his status, so don’t worry. As long as you don’t deliberately make a mistake, your life in the Queen Manor won’t be difficult.”
