Jiu Ming smiled. “Little girl, I’ll give you Paramount, what do you think?”

Feng Ruqing was speechless.

He was really up to no good!

He was simply giving Paramount to her too!

Feng Ruqing tried to recall all of the memories she had with Jiu Ming before.

Suddenly, she realized that Jiu Ming actually… knew well about her mother’s situation…

Also, he had tried all he could do to look for her mother, and he had even sought revenge for her!

Feng Ruqing was a bit confused. “Could it be that… you owed my mother money, so you’re here to… pay your debt?”

Jiu Ming remained silent.

Was he so poor to the extent that he needed to borrow from someone?

“Little girl, stop being suspicious as I bear you no malice. Otherwise, I would have already… killed you since you’ve trampled on my face so many times.”

“Oh.” Feng Ruqing said, smilingly. “Kill me? It depends on whether you are capable of doing that.” Jiu Ming had always thought that he was quite an arrogant person, however, after he had met with this little girl, he finally realized what it really meant for a person to be ‘arrogant’!

He could not help but laugh when he realized that this little girl was quite an interesting one…

At least, even if she was not related to Empress Nalan, he would still like her too.

“Little girl, it’s okay if you don’t want to be the owner of Paramount. Why don’t you let me help you find your brother, and you will devote yourself to me after I find him? What do you think?”

Feng Ruqing scanned Jiu Ming up and down, sarcastically, and replied, “Are you as handsome as my state preceptor?”

Jiu Ming paused for a while before he replied, “You haven’t seen my face before. How would you know that I’m not that handsome?”

“Even if you are really that handsome, you’re not my state preceptor.”

The state preceptor was the only person she wanted to sleep with, in her life!

That was the first thing she was so determined to achieve from the first time she had met him!

Be it her previous life or current life, she had always admired good-looking people.

Yeap, it was not an infatuation, but only admiration toward good-looking people. Regardless of their gender, as long as it was someone who was good looking, she would appreciate their aesthetics.

That was it, nothing more.

However… She would act differently if the person was the state preceptor.

It did not matter if his look was outstanding or had turned dull or old, as long as it was her state preceptor, she would still like him!

There was a kind of fondness which has nothing to do with a person’s look, social status, or ability…

As for this person in front of her… Eliminated!

Something strange seemed to be flashing in Jiu Ming’s eyes. After a while, the corners of his lips lifted into a smile. “Little girl, I thought you love every good looking person. However… it seems like you only love one person.”

“Now you know.”

Jiu Ming’s eyes landed on the young girl’s face again and said, “Then, I do really hope that I will never fall for you for the rest of my life. Or else… just like opium, it’s hard to sober up once you’re addicted to this kind of substance.”

Feng Ruqing was speechless. She looked at Jiu Ming with both sympathy and puzzlement.

‘Is he mad?

‘Why is he talking nonsense here?’

Still, her state preceptor was the best as he would never talk nonsense.

Qing Zhu just came back from outside and craned its neck to peep inside the door. Then, it saw both Feng Ruqing and Jiu Ming were standing not far away from the door.

Suddenly, its body went stiff. Then, it quickly turned around and slid out from the door.

***

In the Southern Bamboo Forest.

Just like viewing a figure in a drawing from its back, the man dressed in white, with a jade flute in his hand, swaying in the breeze, he looked gentle, elegant, and seemingly divine.

“Master!!!” Qing Zhu ran toward Nan Xian anxiously as it was catching its breath. “Quick, follow me to the princess’s manor now!”

A bastard who had gone to harass the princess when the master was not around!

Being its master’s pet, it would never tolerate this!
