Chapter 511: Fellow Travelers
After a while, Lin Fengmian walked out with Shangguan Qiong, whose face was still slightly flushed.
“You Yao, you’re back?”
After waiting for a long time, You Yao, who had been forced to listen to the intimate sounds, reluctantly bowed and said, “Greetings, Your Highness.”
Chen Qingyan looked at the carefree Lin Fengmian, feeling as if she had been struck by lightning. Her eyes were filled with shock.
She opened her mouth and almost called out, “Junior Brother Lin,” but stopped herself.
Elder Ming and You Yao, who were facing Lin Fengmian, didn’t notice this.
Lin Fengmian smiled at Chen Qingyan and said, “You Yao, is this Chen Qingyan?”
“Just as Sect Leader Shangguan said, she’s truly a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall!”
You Yao immediately became alert and stepped in front of Chen Qingyan, guarding her against this notorious womanizer.
However, Lin Fengmian stroked his chin and looked at Chen Qingyan with a playful smile.
“Hmm, not bad, not bad. There’s indeed a certain resemblance. Those three top-grade Spirit Fusion Pills were well spent.”
“Fairy Shangguan is willing to give me such a beauty. It seems that my affection for you hasn’t been in vain.”
Shangguan Qiong clung to him and smiled faintly, “It’s her fortune to serve Your Highness.”
“Qingyan, this is the Thirteenth Prince of the Heavenly Grace Dynasty, Prince Wuxie. Hurry up and pay your respects.”
Listening to Lin Fengmian and Shangguan Qiong’s conversation, Chen Qingyan couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.
Her mind raced, and after glancing at Shangguan Qiong’s flushed face, she quickly bowed.
“Qingyan greets Prince Wuxie.”
Lin Fengmian, still playing the role of a lecherous prince, reached out to help her up and said with a smile, “No need for formalities, Fairy Qingyan.”
“From now on, you’re one of mine. Come inside with me, I have something to tell you.”
Naturally, he wanted to take Chen Qingyan into the room to inform her of certain matters.
However, You Yao did not dare to leave Chen Qingyan alone with Lin Fengmian and quickly intervened, “No!”
She had made a promise to Chen Qingyan. How could she let her fall from the wolf’s den into the tiger’s mouth?
Moreover, she was the one who had pushed her into this situation!
“Your Highness, I have already taken Chen Qingyan as my disciple. Please show some mercy!”
Lin Fengmian narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “You Yao, what do you mean by this?”
You Yao had taken Chen Qingyan as her disciple? This caught him off guard.
How could you make such a decision without consulting me?
You Yao said seriously, “Your Highness, I promised her that no one would force her to do anything she doesn’t want to!”
Lin Fengmian snorted, “She is mine. I can do whatever I want with her! Step aside!”
You Yao stood protectively in front of Chen Qingyan and refused to move. She took out a bottle of pills and tossed it to Lin Fengmian.
“Chen Qingyan was exchanged with the Joyful Union Sect for three top-grade Spirit Fusion Pills. She doesn’t belong to you.”
Lin Fengmian caught the bottle of pills and almost laughed in frustration. “Without me, could you have made this exchange?”
You Yao simply said, “The pills were given by me, so she’s mine!”
“As long as I’m here, you won’t lay a finger on her. If you want to interact with her, then I must be present!”
Lin Fengmian knew how stubborn this woman could be. His face darkened as he said, “You won’t even listen to me now?”
You Yao smiled faintly, “The commander only asked me to obey you that night. Now, my only duty is to protect you.”
“I did not bring Qingyan back to serve you, but for another important matter. Your Highness, don’t get your priorities wrong.”
From her words, Lin Fengmian had finally gleaned some useful information.
The commander of the Shadow Guard was his nominal master.
But on the surface, he still feigned extreme anger, pointing at You Yao and saying, “Fine, fine! I’ll remember today’s events.”
“Your Highness, please calm down!”
Elder Ming quickly tried to mediate, “Commander You Yao, you should also calm down. His Highness didn’t mean it that way. Don’t be so hasty.”
You Yao couldn’t be bothered to keep up the act and said indifferently, “What he means is obvious to anyone with eyes.”
Lin Fengmian pretended to be angry, “All right, since you don’t want to be by my side, I’ll have my father send you away!”
You Yao coldly replied, “I would be more than happy!”
Lin Fengmian stormed off, but after a few steps, he turned back and whispered a few words to Shangguan Qiong.
“Fairy Shangguan, you and Fairy Chen wait for me here. Don’t go anywhere.”
Although he genuinely wanted to get rid of You Yao, who made him feel like he was walking on thin ice, he knew that it was unlikely.
His main goal was to create an excuse to pull her away, allowing Shangguan Qiong and Chen Qingyan to be alone so that he could warn Chen Qingyan.
Since they had a close relationship before, Shangguan Qiong understood immediately and bowed gracefully.
“Your Highness, come back soon. I’ll be here.”
As Lin Fengmian walked away, Elder Ming rushed after him, “Your Highness, calm down!”
You Yao instructed Chen Qingyan, “As long as I’m here, no one can touch you. Wait here, I’ll be back soon.”
As the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard and a Unity Realm cultivator, even the Heavenly Grace King had to show her some respect.
Half an hour later, Lin Fengmian walked out of the royal study with a frustrated look on his face.
As expected, King Jun Qingsheng had given them a non-committal response.
You Yao could be transferred, but only after Lin Fengmian passed the selection.
As for the disciple You Yao had taken, Lin Fengmian couldn’t force her to do anything unless she volunteered.
You Yao was also at fault; from now on, she was not allowed to monitor Lin Fengmian’s private affairs and had to show him proper respect.
Although neither of them got what they wanted, they both gained something.
Lin Fengmian had to admit that King Jun Qingsheng was quite adept at playing the mediator!
He led You Yao and Elder Ming out, but ran into Jun Yunzheng, who had also just been released from house arrest.
Jun Yunzheng looked at You Yao and sneered, “Wuxie, are you too scared to go out alone?”
“Can’t help it. There are too many crazy dogs on the street, always barking at me.”
Lin Fengmian smiled and said, “Big Brother, is your face still hurting?”
Jun Yunzheng’s smile froze and he snorted, “You only know how to hide behind women!”
Lin Fengmian wasn’t angry. He took out a green undergarment, lightly sniffed it, and looked nostalgic.
“Actually, it’s quite nice behind them. Senior Sister Qin loved it. Why don’t you ask her if she enjoyed that night?”
His infuriating attitude made not only Jun Yunzheng, but even You Yao want to punch him.
He was just too shameless!
Elder Ming sighed helplessly, ready to intervene at any moment.
The Prince’s character was as reliable as ever.
This was a public humiliation of Jun Yunzheng’s wife!
This is too much!
Jun Yunzheng’s face turned red with anger, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Although Qin Yan had later claimed that nothing had happened between them, he was still skeptical.
After all, while no one had seen it, everyone had heard it.
And given what he knew about Jun Wuxie, how could this guy not take a piece of meat that was handed to him?
Now, any remaining doubts were shattered. The green undergarment reflected on his face, making it look even greener.
He hadn’t even gotten his hands on her, and this guy had already taken the first bite?
“Big Brother, we have the same taste. From now on, we’re fellow travelers.”
Lin Fengmian was about to leave when Jun Yunzheng called out to him.
“Wuxie, I heard that Consort Xuan is in trouble. Maybe you should go and check on her.”
