Helian Wei Wei agreed and allowed Chen Yifeng to settle the rest of the matter.
At first, Qing Zhan wanted to assist Chen Yifeng, but the moment she took a step forward, somebody grabbed her arm.
Without giving her the chance to escape, Nangong Lie dragged her over and strode toward the door.
“Hey, you!” Chen Yifeng intended to hold him back initially.
Nangong Lie threw him a cold glance, “It’s none of your business, get lost!”
The Genius Worshipper had his temper as well.
Being the heir of the Worshipper for the entire War Dragon Empire, once Nangong Lie tore his recklessness apart, buried deep underneath it would be nothing but unbearable coldness!
Chen Yifeng heard about Nangong Lie as he and their boss Helian Wei Wei used to be in the same team before. Both were from the Inferior Compound as well. From the surface, their relationship seemed to be pretty good.
Today… To be honest, Chen Yifeng was a bit confused!
Qing Zhan knew this young master well as she had served him for almost 10 years, thus instead of struggling she just lifted her eyes and said in a flat tone, “Young Master Lie, if there is anything just say it here, Yifeng and I still have things to settle.”
“Yifeng?” Nangong Lie looked back, his tone icy unlike his usual way of speaking, “What an intimate way to call his name. What, now that you have changed your master, you’ve changed the person you like as well, right?”
Qing Zhan pulled her hand back, as if she was making a statement, “Young Master Lie, as you know, my master has changed now, and as a servant I have to be loyal to my new master. So Young Master Lie, please don’t put me in such an awkward position.”
The word ‘servant’ kept on buzzing around his ears. It made Nangong Lie feel irritated. Taking a deep breath, he lowered his tone, “What if I said that it was just a coincidence that I passed by here today and I never thought that they would insult you like this, would you trust me?”
“I would.”
These two words, replied in such a quick manner made Nangong Lie feel that something was wrong.
“Is there anything else, Young Master Lie? If not, please excuse us.” Standing there with her back straight, never in her life had Qing Zhan imagined that one day she could straighten her back to that extent. Today, if not for the princess consort, she would never understand this feeling at all. She had been loving someone for so long until she lost track of her self esteem. That was why people took advantage of her weak spot and kept on attacking her, making her no longer remember where her pride was.
Nangong Lie watched as the girl in front of him walked toward another man, slow and steady. The both of them paid compensation to the teahouse. Those bystanders who were watching just now had all become wary of them.
Yun Biluo was sitting on the floor with Hei Zhu still in her arms, tears streaking down her face.
Nangong Lie barely regretted anything, yet he regretted coming to this teahouse today.
He certainly would not let those who mocked her get away with it so easily.
He just wanted her to realize the disadvantages of leaving him.
But…
Bang!
As if he could not stand it anymore, Nangong Lie kicked the wooden stool beside him and left the teahouse. He feared that he might lose control if he continued staying there.
Based on the current situation, anyone would seem to be more important than him.
She was just taking advantage of the fact that he could cause her no harm. His tolerance was the source for her misbehavior.
After all, she was the one who poisoned him, why was he the one who took the blame?
Nangong Lie thought for a while, then he returned, but this time with his malevolent look as usual. Leaning down slightly, he whispered in Qing Zhan’s ear, “You don’t care about yourself, that’s fine, but at least you should think about your princess consort’s end, as well as that Chen Yifeng beside you. If you want to cause the Chen family to lose their political position, then you can continue staying here.”
When he was done, he smiled, turned and left.

Qing Zhan bit her lip, this time she had no choice but to follow him.
At a lonely corner, Nangong Lie did not seem to be happy though, there was a particular coldness in his smile, “Looks like you treat him pretty well.”
Lowering her eyes, Qing Zhan asked, “How do you want to ease your anger?”
“Want to ease my anger?” Nangong Lie’s voice was faint, “Then go ahead and tell Helian Wei Wei that you want to come back.”
Qing Chan raised her head abruptly, eyebrows knitted, “Come back? I thought you didn’t want to see me?”
“I changed my mind.” With his outstretched hands, Nangong Lie pressed Qing Zhan against the wall, “Of course I have to keep the one who poisoned me by my side to teach her a lesson, what say you?”
Qing Zhan knew exactly what he meant by the word ‘lesson’, the light in her eyes faded as she stared at the face that she had been loving all these years, “Besides asking me to come back, is there any other way to ease your anger, Young Master Lie?”
“You…” A sudden pain struck his chest, but Nangong Lie continued to put on a charming smile, “Qing Zhan, don’t tell me that you really intend to be with that Chen Yifeng?”
Qing Chan’s eyes were emotionless, “I’ve always wanted a home since I was young and you knew that too, Young Master Lie. Chen Yifeng is a good man and he is working for the princess consort, being together with him is indeed relaxing. I understand what Young Master Lie is trying to say, that I don’t deserve him as I am no longer a virgin.”
“What you mean to say is that that you would marry him if you were still a virgin?” Nangong Lie’s smile turned broader and broader, but at the same time the coldness was intimidating, way more intimidating that the malevolence, “Qing Zhan, I must say that I have truly underestimated you!”
After he ended his speech, he turned and vanished into the busy street…
Inferior Compound, inside the bedroom.
The slender and handsome figure of Baili Jia Jue stood in the room that did not belong to him. He frowned as his sharp eyes swept over the empty bed.
“Master, the princess consort is not in.” Fire Qilin sniffed, “The breath is cool, she must have been away for quite a while.”
Baili Jia Jue acknowledge what he said in a flat tone, trailing his slender fingers across the table with a trace of coldness.
“Master, are we going to continue waiting here?” Fire Qilin ran his eyes over the surrounding again, and he thought to himself that this princess consort is incredible as this is the first time in his life that he saw his master wait for anyone.
After all, patience was never his master’s virtue.
He never sat down for anyone, not to mention wait for anyone. That never happened before.
However, the way master behaved since yesterday was so unusual that even a mythological beast like Fire Qilin could not help but feel astonished.
A few moments later.
Baili Jia Jue came out from the room, and the night breeze ruffled his long hair. His slender fingers were covered perfectly underneath the gloves, and a sarcastic smile with a trace of ruthlessness lingered around the corners of his mouth.
If he did not come and look for her, she might have forgotten him and tossed him away to god knows where.
Never in his life was Baili Jia Jue ever treated like this before.
“Master?” Fire Qilin raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Baili Jia Jue looked at the bamboo grove swaying in the distance, the breeze stroked his face, so cold that his voice was icy as well, “Let’s go to the Trading Compound.”
Huh? Go to the Trading Compound?
Fire Qilin raised his head in silence and took a look at the bright moon. The atmosphere of the Trading Compound was rather unsuitable for his master.
Every time he went there he would definitely be the focus of the crowd.
Didn’t master himself also mentioned that he resented going to the Trading Compound?
What is going on today?
