rd would come to the Lotus Flower Feast this year. I heard that Lord was once the number one handsome man in our Lan Zhao country. It's a pity that he was disfigured because of a woman later on...Lord..."What is this, it's so bitter, I want to drink the fairy wine..." Xiao Yuge choked down two mouthfuls, instinctively spitting it out. Her whole face wrinkled into a ball in an instant, her little hand flung out, almost spilling the bowl of sobering tea.

Qian Tingxuan resigned himself and drank the bowl of sobering soup in one gulp, then fed it to Xiao Yuge's mouth. Mingyang beside him immediately turned his back in fright: Master, this is something lowly officials shouldn't be witnessing!

Qian Tingxuan didn't feel anything was wrong, anyway he wasn't embarrassed, only others were: "Mingyang, you go to Ruyifang and tell Qingluo, just say that her young lady is here with me. I will personally send her back later, don't let her get anxious." He knew how much Xiao Yuge cared about Qingluo. If anything happened to Qingluo again, Xiao Yuge would probably lose his mind.

"Yes! I'll go right away!" Mingyang almost fled the scene. Geez, were they showing off their love today They're both still single!

Qianting Xuan looked at the sleeping figure, his heart couldn't help but churn with mixed emotions. The autumn leaves were like frost, and as he gazed at the reflection of the moon, the lingering smell of alcohol wafted through the subtle night air.

She was usually prickly, like she'd prick you the moment you touched her. But this time, she quietly tucked away her thorns, becoming as docile as a kitten. It made people want to protect her.

What hidden secrets was she concealing, that they tormented her so How could he possibly help her

"Little one, you always find a way to drive me crazy! What will it take for you to fully trust me" He lowered his head and kissed her gently between her furrowed brows: A kiss could dispel a hundred lovesicknesses, but could it possibly ease her countless worries

When Xiao Yu Ge fully woke up, it was already late at night. She patted her somewhat dazed head and looked around. This is when she noticed Qian Ting Xuan lying on the floor in front of her bed.

Wasn't she drinking with Thousand Machines Pavilion and Night Big Brother How could she be in Qian Ting Xuan's room Could it be a dream She subconsciously pinched herself, ouch! It hurts!

"Awake" Qian Tingxuan also sat up at this time and got up to pour her a cup of tea.

"How did I get here" she took the tea, drank a sip, and instantly felt refreshed. How did she get back here She clearly remembered being at Ye Ge's place.

"You little rascal, you dare to say that You actually dared to drink with another man! As punishment!" Qianting Xuan pulled her into his arms and pinched her cheek in a punishing manner.

"You went to Qianji Pavilion" Xiao Yuge blinked her beautiful eyes, perhaps still groggy from waking up: "You went alone" No way, could he hide in the layers of mechanisms at Qianji Pavilion

"Just a mere Thousand Machines Pavilion, this King can still enter it." A hint of pride and confidence flashed in his eyes. As long as she was there, even if it were a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, he would go.

"You're amazing." Xiao Yuge looked at him with admiration. After all, Qianjigong was the number one assassin organization in the world. If he didn't have memories from his past life, he probably would have died hundreds of times already. He actually went alone and came back unscathed

"If I don't go, are you going to get drunk at Nightless Revelry" A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. Thinking that Nightless Revelry almost held her, he couldn't help but want to hack something.

He's just like my brother, what kind of vinegar are you eating" Xiao Yu Ge frowned, was he angry about this

"You only think of him as a brother" Qian Ting was surprised, the anger in his eyes instantly replaced by delight: it turned out that one had intentions while the other remained indifferent!

"Or what, do you think" Xiao Yu Ge rolled her eyes at him, then jumped to the ground, rubbing her slightly aching temple and stretching lazily. "I have to go back, it's been a whole day, I bet Qing Luo is worried sick."

"I only just found out, you dare to play hide-and-seek when nothing is wrong. Do you know how worried I was about you." Hearing that she only regarded Ye Wuhuan as her brother eased her heart, but listening to Ye Wuhuan's tone, she wasn't just treated as a sister. It seemed that she had to guard against one more person in the future. This little thing, causing trouble everywhere and attracting peach blossoms, it seemed that she still had to find an opportunity to marry her off early and feel at ease.

Thinking about what happened this morning, Xiao Yu Ge's eyes dimmed instantly. Lou Lan and Chu Tian Qi had already... What should she do Lou Lan now misunderstood her, how could she explain Once she started to take revenge on Chu Tian Qi, Lou Lan would definitely be hurt. Should she give up on avenging herself against Chu Tian Qi

"Little song, tell me, what happened You wouldn't just vanish without a reason like this." Qian Tingxuan was meticulous and naturally saw that something was troubling her.

"Qian Tingxuan, don't ask. I don't want to say." Xiao Yuge knew that some things could be told to Ye Wuhuan, but not to Qian Tingxuan. It wasn't because she didn't trust him, but because if he knew the truth, he would be caught in a dilemma.

“Okay, since you didn't say it, I won't push. But promise me, from now on, don't disappear without a word like this again. Remember, no matter what, I’m always here for you!” Qian Tingxuan embraced her tightly. He was usually calm and collected, but whenever something involved her, he couldn't remain composed.

"Sorry, I just didn't think it through..."

"It's okay, you can tell me anything whenever you want. Right or wrong, I'm on your side!" What the world considers right and wrong doesn't matter to him. Here, whatever she does is right!

Xiao Yuge raised her eyes to look at him. His gaze was gentle, his face full of worry. He clearly didn't know anything, he knew nothing about it, yet with just one sentence, he gently protected the fragile heart that had been battered and bruised by years of wandering.

"In a few days' time, there will be a garden party. I have already excused you from attending in front of the Emperor." Qian Tingxuan knew that his elder brother had never given up on the idea of having Ge’er marry into a noble family, so he had to preempt him.

“A Garden Party” Xiao Yu Ge only then remembered, in her past life, it was at this very Garden Party that Xiao Yu Fu had teamed up with someone to humiliate her in public. This made Qian Si Chen even more disgusted with her. This time around, if she didn't go, how could Xiao Yu Fu’s plot succeed How could her revenge plan proceed Besides, at the banquet that day, Xiao Yu Fu still hadn’t finished her schemes. This time, she would definitely continue them. She had let Xiao Yu Fu off time and time again, but she had to find an opportunity for Xiao Yu Fu to reap what she had sown.

Thinking about this, she said seriously, "No! I'm going to participate."

"Little song, saying it nicely, that's called a garden party. Saying it harshly, it's just an opportunity for a group of gossips to slander people behind their backs. There's nothing fun about it. If you want to go, then someday, I'll go with you." Chi Teng Xuan couldn't help but get excited when he heard she was going..." But she had no home... Perhaps only after being wronged would people rely on the warmth of home. It's a pity that she didn't even know who she was, let alone where her home was"Alright. I'll take...
