Soon, her eyes became sad again.
“Master, you treat us so well and we’ll still be single because of you.”
“Why?”
Ling Yun smiled happily. “It’s because nobody is as beautiful and gentle as you are. If you’re like this, all of us want to marry you.”
Feng Ruqing was speechless.
Nan Xian was there just in time to hear Ling Yun’s words when he stepped into the backyard.
Feng Ruqing was hugging one on either side at that time. Her smile was so bright that Nan Xian soon turned cold.
Qing Zhu shook its head and came out from behind Nan Xian. There was a big lump on its head. It blinked helplessly.
“Master, is it because you’re not beautiful enough or maybe you’re not captivating? Does the princess not want you anymore?”
The air around Nan Xian soon turned cold. It was breezy. Qing Zhu was frightened and it retreated. It seemed aggrieved.
‘My master is too fierce. I can’t afford to annoy him…’
Nan Xian saw that Qing Zhu kept quiet and spoke no more. Then, Nan Xian turned his gaze upon Feng Ruqing and his eyes soon turned gentle.
Feng Ruqing seemed to notice something so, she raised her eyes. She saw a man as calm as a breeze.
“State Preceptor!” She was too nervous that she had accidentally pushed the two women in her embrace away. They staggered. She immediately rushed toward Nan Xian and threw herself in his embrace.
Nan Xian held out his hands and hugged Feng Ruqing. There was a soft smile on his face.
“You’re awake?”
“I have been awake for quite some time now.” Feng Ruqing smiled happily. She peeked and saw Qing Zhu who was hiding behind Nan Xian. She was slightly shocked. “Xiao Qing, why is there a big lump on your head? Did somebody hit you?”
Qing Zhu was speechless. ‘Doesn’t she know what happened?’
Qing Zhu was unable to say anything before feeling the cold stare given by Nan Xian. It was frightened.
“Master, I did not want to attract the princess’s attention. It’s the princess who always notices me. No, that’s not right. It’s not the princess who always notices me but my presence is too dazzling. The princess did not do it on purpose. That’s not right either. I…”
Qing Zhu could feel Nan Xian’s coldness. It trembled even more. Finally, it almost burst into tears.
Luckily, Nan Xian held back from glaring at it. He stroked the young girl’s hair softly. There was a gentle smile on his face.
“It’s not good that all of the members from the Iron-Blooded Troop are women.”
Feng Ruqing kept quiet.
Feng Ruqing raised her head suspiciously and frowned slightly. She did not understand the state preceptor’s meaning.
Nan Xian lowered his eyes and hid the sparkle in his eyes. He spoke nonchalantly. “They are women no matter what. If all of the members from the Iron-Blooded Troop are women, then nobody can do the heavy work. They cannot even do dangerous jobs.”
Qing Zhu was speechless.
‘Master, you just think that those women are a threat to you given that they are always there to seduce the princess every day. You want to give them away to the male soldiers.
‘Your reason is so well-founded. Does the princess know that you’re that kind of person?’
Feng Ruqing felt that what Nan Xian said was logical. “It’s true. I can’t ask the women to do some work. What you said is logical.”
“Yes.” Nan Xian smiled slightly. “Moreover, they should be married by now. But, they have sacrificed their youth for Liu Yun Kingdom. If there were men among them, they might be able to find their soulmates at last.”
Qing Zhu laughed coldly in its heart.
‘Last night, Master hit me and I spat a pot of venom. He even interrogated me to find out who is always by the princess’s side.’
