C39 Qin Leap

Qin Fei took a sip of tea, but his expression remained calm.

Where did that man go? Could he be hiding?

"I heard that Qi He is in trouble."

His words were tactful. After all, as a man, asking someone directly wasn't proper.

"Not really." Wei He smiled. Luo Chen would never be a problem for him.

In this world, how could there be any trouble that could not be abandoned?

The corner of Qin Fei's mouth curled slightly as he pointed with two fingers of his right hand. The paper fan in his hand opened to reveal a Phoenix Bathed in Fire and Rebirth Diagram.

She remembered that in the past ten years, the fan had changed a lot, but the fan had always been this one. It had never changed.

There must be something special about it, she asked, but he didn't answer.

Maybe everyone had a past they didn't want others to know about.

"Qi He has grown up. My master shouldn't have cared about the thoughts of a girl's family, but she's been my master for a day, and she's my father for life." Qin Fei was around thirty years old, so he should be her uncle in age.

"Thank you for your concern, master, but you have a sense of propriety." Even though she said so, her actions today showed that she had lost her mind.

Qin Fei didn't say anything. He looked around at the furnishings in the hall. To be more precise, he was looking for someone.

He could already smell a very special smell. That smell was unfamiliar yet familiar. It was unfamiliar because they had not met for more than ten years, and it was familiar because they had been together for the past few days.

There must be someone inside.

Qi He knew that his master was shrewd and that it was difficult to hide some things from him, so he decided to ignore it. If that person was unlucky, he would let his master find out.

She wanted to see what kind of explanation he would give for what had just happened.

After a long while, Qin Fei asked, "Is the rumor true?"

"Seriously." Qi He replied without hesitation. There was a high chance that rumors would not be believed, but now they were true. The noble and noble Princess had taken a fancy to the eunuch by the empress's side.

Qin Fei's hand that was holding the paper fan tightened. An inexplicable sadness was born in the depths of his dark eyes.

It was true, she really did have a lover. In the ten years she had been together with him, she actually fell in love with a eunuch in the short span of a few days he had left her.

"Yes."

He couldn't even speak, he could only give a simple grunt of assent.

"Master, I have a question to ask you." She was trapped by love and hoped to be taught a lesson by her master.

Qin Fei smiled, "Just ask."

He was indifferent to everyone, indifferent to everything, he did not form a party, he did not take bribes, he did not flatter, he acted as if he was just playing around, he could disobey the emperor.

Such a proud and aloof person, such an empty heart, was stuffed full of a mischievous and adorable little girl.

Wei He lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he raised his eyes and asked, "If you can't beg a person, what should I do?"

Qin Yue's expression changed slightly as he pulled the center of his brows, begging for help but not letting it wander in his heart.

"Everything is fine as long as you follow the will of the heavens. What should be you is yours, not yours. What's the use of forcing it?" He tried to comfort her, but he couldn't bring himself to.

The reason why human beings are human beings is because their thoughts are ahead of their time and their thoughts are more complex than other living beings.

Qi He nodded, his master was right. Even if he did everything possible to keep him by his side, his heart wasn't here, so what? All that was left was a shell.

Qin Fei noticed that there was movement behind the screen and was about to grab the original screen. However, after some thought, he realized that such an action would definitely embarrass Qi He.

"Master has been back for a long time and has yet to go to the Phoenix Return Hall to meet the Queen. Now that I have the time, I will leave first."

Qi He stood up and sent Qin Fei flying to the entrance of the hall. He smiled and said, "Master, take care."

As she watched Qin Fei's figure slowly disappear, her eyes gradually became filled with a cold resolution as she turned back into a proud phoenix.

He turned back to the screen and faced the undressed man as he condescendingly said, "Scram."

That man was like an eighty year old man. He trembled as he stood up. His face was ancient and he didn't say a word.

After he had taken a few steps, a clear and cold voice came from behind his ears, "If you know what's good for you …"

"Princess, please be at ease. This servant will not reveal today's matter." He didn't even turn his head back as the distance between the two of them became further and further apart.

Back in the palace, Shangguan Wan stared at the red robed man below like a tiger watching its prey, her heart palpitating slightly.

The first time she saw him, she knew he was no mortal.

His spell should not be weaker than his own, another formidable opponent had appeared.

Qin Fei also knew Shangguan Wan's true identity, but he still bowed respectfully. "This humble servant greets the Empress."

Shangguan Wan tried her best to conceal the fear in her heart. She had always been afraid that he would come looking for her, and now that she had come, her whole heart was in trouble.

Doomsday. Was it really her doomsday? Although this Qin Fei was not a smiling person, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that he was a ruthless character.

A person that Nangong Yu had taken a fancy to and acknowledged as an Imperial Scholar was definitely not simple.

"It's been hard for the Imperial Advisor to share His Majesty's worries, so let's skip these vulgar rituals." She calmly instructed Rui Xiang and the others, "You may all leave for now."

"Yes." The palace maids and eunuchs agreed before withdrawing. Although they didn't know the reason for the empress and the Imperial Advisor being alone together, they still didn't dare disobey.

However, the Imperial Advisor was known to be a man who didn't like women. He was a very pure and honest man, and the girls he spent the most time with were his disciples, Qi and the princess. If the emperor knew about this, he wouldn't be so jealous.
