Zhu Shen came back to his senses after his Excellency vaulted himself over the back surrounding wall. Li Ruoxuan had swiftly sent Zhao Xin flying with a wave of his hand, and Zhu Shen followed Li Ruoxuan into the garden to witness the entire process of Jiang Yeqians abduction of Qi Qingyao.

As Li Ruoxuans subordinate, Zhu Shen knew his Excellency must have let the Head Grand Secretariat in on purpose, presumably because the Head Grand Secretariat wanted to apologize for the marks he had left on Qi Qingyaos neck.

However, Zhu Shen did not expect for Qi Qingyao to scream out for him before anyone could even get a word in!

Zhu Shen immediately looked toward his Excellency.

Li Ruoxuan gave Zhu Shen a meaningful look.

Zhu Shen immediately rushed to Qi Qingyao.

Qi Qingyao stood in the garden dressed in a thin, white inner garment made of silk. Her temper flared when Zhu Shen hurried over.

Where the f*ck were you?

Before Zhu Shen could even answer,

Qi Qingyao asked again, Wheres your Excellency?

Li Ruoxuan knew he could no longer stay hidden so he hurriedly appeared at the side.

Qi Qingyao was so livid that she lost sight of her standing and immediately pointed at Li Ruoxuans nose, cursing.

Youre the dignified State Preceptor whos already ascended into grand masters.h.i.+p, yet you allowed a rank nine to infiltrate your home? How disgraceful! Youre a complete fluke of a grand master. Master Li is a complete good-for-nothing! Youre all talk but you have absolutely zero strength as a grand master! All your guards are good-for-nothings too!

Li Ruoxuan was caught off guard by the stream of abuse he was met with just as he came over. Li Ruoxuan, who was usually a very calm man, sounded a little awkward as he whispered, Do you have to curse me as though I lack even a single redeeming feature?

You were here?

Struck with a sudden realization, Qi Qingyao said, Then, youre the one who let him in on purpose!

Had he been found out?

T-thats not exactly the case either. He goaded me into letting himself in Li Ruoxuan stumbled over his words a bit.

Qi Qingyao narrowed her eyes. The waves of fury seemed to die under her calm expression and her gaze was deep when she said, Li Ruoxuan, I misunderstood you. The rumored ruthless and ill-tempered State Preceptor has actually fallen to his taunts! Are you still able to do a good job as State Preceptor?

Li Ruoxuan,

Qi Qingyaos lips curled into an impatient sneer. Truly a good-for-nothing!

At the receiving end of more verbal las.h.i.+ngs, Li Ruoxuan held his forehead and resisted the urge to strangle her. He tried very hard to pull himself together and ignore ithe would not stoop to her level by arguing with her. In any case, she was the mother of his disciple! He ought to spare her some face.

Seeing the state his Excellency had been reduced to from the continuous tongue-las.h.i.+ng, Zhu Shen kept silent but could not help but smile a little. His Excellency truly fancied Lady Qi. Otherwise, he would never have put up with her tone!

Jiang Yeqian noticed Li Ruoxuans silence and felt that things were going bad for him. He tried to divert her attention to himself.

Could you please give me a bit of your time?

Qi Qingyao walked over and stood next to Li Ruoxuan. She took a deep breath and said, Head Grand Secretariat

Jiang Yeqian hurriedly explained, No, Im not the Head grand Secretariat anymore. I already resigned.

Qi Qingyao was silent.

So what?

What did his resignation have to do with her?

Nothing.

So, just what was this person talking about?

She was quiet, waiting.

However, with Qi Qingyaos gloomy gaze fixed on him, Jiang Yeqian could not say a word.

After a long silence,

Qi Qingyao uncrossed her arms and cradled her forehead. Irritated, she asked,

Jiang Yeqian, what the h.e.l.l are you trying to say?
