Chapter 383: The Crowd Panics 8

Qi Qingyao poured herself another cup of tea. She picked it up and casually sat on one side of the Arhat couch.

Lu Yan walked over and patted Qi Qingyaos shoulder. With a comforting look, he said, Come, lets wait for another hour.

After he finished speaking, he sat down beside Qi Qingyao, seemingly at ease. The distance was so close that it made Lu Yan quite nervous, but he tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart.

Quite the opposite of him, Qi Qingyao casually asked, What are we waiting for?

Lu Yans expression was relaxed and refreshed. Waiting for the news.

Qi Qingyao did not ask him what news he was waiting for as her instincts told her that Lu Yan had probably gone to investigate Mo Yang. To be precise, he had probably gone to buy some information on him. She figured that some news would be coming soon.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, Dong Jing rushed back and handed a copy of an information scroll to Lu Yans hands. He said, not shying away from Qi Qingyao, Master, the information about Mo Yang and his mother is all here.

Qi Qingyao raised her brows. He had even bought information on Mo Yangs mother; Zhaixing Administration was indeed highly efficient! Once Dong Jing left, Lu Yan handed the information scroll to Qi Qingyaos hand without even taking a look at it first. You can read it first.

Qi Qingyao thought for a while and realized she was quite curious. After receiving the scroll, she flipped it open and read through it briefly, before she pa.s.sed it back to Lu Yan. He looked at it pensively.

Qi Qingyao stroked her chin and said, The information came so fast that it seems like many, many people want his information too.

After Lu Yan read the intel on Mo Yang and his mother Shan Yingying, his first words were, Surely the State Preceptor and Head Grand Secretariat have also obtained information related to Mo Yang.

Qi Qingyao raised her brows. Will they look into him?

Lu Yans gaze darkened. He said, You and Mo Yang look alike, and you know that youre not your familys biological child, so you suspect that Mo Yang may be your long-lost sibling. Do you think those two shrewd and sharp men wouldnt suspect the same, even with less evidence?

Qi Qingyao, Did he have to use the phrase two shrewd and sharp men? It made her think about how evil and cunning those men could be!

Lu Yans dark eyes were filled with an unmoving coldness. If the State Preceptor wants to know your background, he usually wouldnt beat around the bush. Hed take the fastest route, and capture Qi Boli or Madam Wu and torture them until they revealed whether youre a biological child of the Qi family. When he said this, Qi Qingyaos lips subconsciously trembled. Lu Yan continued, But now theres a problem: you have Si Jin protecting you from afar. Even if he doesnt show up, as long as he is at a grand masters level, his existence deters Li Ruoxuans hand to a certain extent. So Li Ruoxuan has changed his strategy and wont be following his usual modus operandi. At the moment, he doesnt want to provoke you anymore, or more accurately, doesnt want to provoke Si Jin.

You mean to say that he wont lay a hand on Madam Wu and the others? This was quite a good thing, actually!

My long stay in the Capital City guarantees he wont, Lu Yan said to Qi Qingyao with certainty. Because wasnt I also taken there when he brought you to his courtyard this time? So I observed his att.i.tude toward you before I left.

Qi Qingyao raised her eyebrows.

He was courteous, very courteous! Even a little gentle, Lu Yan said unhurriedly. Im very clear about this one thing, too.

Tell me, Qi Qingyao inquired leisurely.
