Before Gu Qingluan could think of an explanation, she heard Qiu Moyuan’s enthusiastic question, “Does the Lord have any a.s.signments here in Crimson Flame?”
“I’m just pa.s.sing through. I’ll be staying here for two days,” Feng Tianlan replied as he turned around.
Only then did Qiu Moyuan notice that he was holding a woman in his arms.
He was greatly surprised and couldn’t help but look closely at the woman.
Unfortunately, she was buried in her master’s embrace, and he couldn’t see her face clearly.
“Is there a problem?” A slightly cold voice came.
Qiu Moyuan was startled and quickly shook his head. “No, I have a courtyard always ready in the City Lord’s residence for the Lord. Please, follow me, my Lord.”
As he turned, he caught sight of a little cat standing at Feng Tianlan’s feet. Meeting the cat’s gaze, a wave of pressure seemed to come out of nowhere. Qiu Moyuan’s expression suddenly froze, thinking that this was no ordinary cat; it was likely a formidable mystical beast.
He averted his gaze and led the way ahead.
Not long after, Qiu Moyuan brought Feng Tianlan to a quiet guest courtyard.
Qiu Moyuan was not one to indulge in luxury. The City Lord’s Mansion was generally dignified and simple, but this guest courtyard was quite different. Its architecture and furnishings were all the work of master craftsmen, and everything inside was exceptionally unique.
Ordinary people were not allowed to enter at ordinary times, only the servants specially ordered by him could come in for cleaning.
Yun Jinxuan was the name of this courtyard.
Qiu Moyuan asked, “My Lord, do you need to have a physician look at this young lady?”
“No need, without my orders, do not let anyone disturb her.”
Qiu Moyuan nodded. “Understood, my Lord. If you have any instructions, please let your subordinate know at any time.”
Seeing that the other party had no intention of engaging in further conversation, Qiu Moyuan tactfully took his leave.
Feng Tianlan pushed open the door of the main house and placed Gu Qingluan on the bed.
Seeing that her breathing was steady as if she were still asleep, Feng Tianlan hooked the corners of his vermilion lips and said, “How much longer do you plan to sleep?”
Unable to hide the truth from him, Gu Qingluan stopped pretending.
She suddenly opened her eyes and found him bending over, his face almost touching hers, which startled her, and her beautiful eyes widened. “Why are you so close?”
She reached out to push him away.
But he grabbed her hand.
He lowered his head and lightly pecked her red lips.
Gu Qingluan reacted as if she had been scalded, her reaction was exaggerated, and she lifted her foot to kick him away.
Feng Tianlan thought that after the three days of dual cultivation in the cave, her feelings for him had already deepened, but he didn’t expect her to still use this move.
He quickly grabbed her ankle and small beads of sweat appeared on his smooth forehead.
“You, how can you be so ruthless?”
In the past, it was understandable, but now that they were so intimate, she still used such a ruthless move.
“Ruthless?” Gu Qingluan smiled sarcastically, her eyes filled with mockery. “Do
1 need to be gentle to a rogue like you?”
“A rogue?” Feng Tianlan squinted his narrow eyes, revealing a somewhat dangerous look. “In your eyes, am I a rogue?”
“What else?”
Gu Qingluan struggled. “Let go of me!”
“Are you planning to lead me on and then abandon me?”
He tightened his grip on her hand and ankle.
“What leading on and abandoning?” Gu Qingluan rolled her eyes. “There was nothing between us from the start, so how can there be abandonment? Don’t try to falsely accuse me!”
Feng Tianlan leaned closer to her, his scorching and enticing breath brushing against her face. “Do 1 need to physically remind you of everything that happened in the Golden Feathered Roc’s cave?”
Gu Qingluan’s heart involuntarily raced, and she tried to restrain her blush, saying disdainfully, “I was just saving someone, and besides, our bodies didn’t have much contact. You don’t need to overthink it.”
Feng Tianlan smiled, his eyes gleaming. “Since it was a lifesaving grace, it’s only right to offer oneself in return..”
