Chapter 203: Transaction with Pei Qingfeng (2/2)

The personal guard stowed them away carefully in his clothes. Pei Qingfeng passed down the order that the portraits had to be returned in one piece and there shouldn’t be any damages. Tsk tsk… His master was becoming more and more like an incapable ruler.

On the other side, Pei Qingfeng had already started the discussion with Bai Luochu.

“What wind blew you here? You chased me back here in front of so many people.... Why are you here now? Do you miss me?” Pei Qingfeng teased Bai Luochu like he usually did.

Bai Luochu still couldn’t get used to the way Pei Qingfeng spoke to her and she quickly shifted her gaze to the curtains. “What Lu Wenshu said is true. I am the Third Prince’s nominal fiancée and I have to avoid gossip from spreading. Even if I don’t bother about my reputation, you, as a prince, should pay attention to how others look at you. There are plenty of people monitoring your every move. If your behavior is inappropriate, the others might not say anything. Instead, they might smear the name of the imperial clan. If that happens, do you think your Emperor Father will spare you?”

“I never cared about what Emperor Father thought of me. Why are you worried about such meaningless things?” Pei Qingfeng was rather touched that Bai Luochu had his interest in mind. However, he became angry again after noticing that she was doing whatever she liked without consulting him.

When Bai Luochu heard Pei Qingfeng’s question, she didn't even bother replying. She immediately changed the topic, “I am here to discuss an important matter. If you want to talk about things of the past, save it for when I’m free. It won’t be good if this matter is delayed.”

Pei Qingfeng knew that he wasn’t going to get an answer and didn’t harp on it. “Speak. What request do you have? As long as I can help, I will definitely help you.”

Pei Qingfeng was behaving magnanimously and it made Bai Luochu rather embarrassed. After all, she was merely trying to make use of him. She even chased him out of her residence the day before.

“The Phoenix King Valley is about to depart tomorrow. I hope you can invite the core disciples for dinner at the Second Prince’s residence… Is that possible?”

Pei Qingfeng fell into deep contemplation after hearing the request. He knew that this lass was filled with evil schemes and her target this time was the Phoenix King Valley. After all, she had a bone to pick with them. However, it didn’t make sense for her to target them because of the matter with Feng Wan’er. From the looks of things, there had to be something he didn’t know. Lu Wenshu was right. He didn’t understand this lass as well as he thought he did.
