Chapter 264: Devastated Pei Qingfeng (1/2)

Of course, he hid his thoughts in his head.

Pei Qingfeng was filled with shame as he knew he had overreacted. He found out that he couldn’t control his emotions whenever Luo Chu was mentioned. Other than the attendant who found his reaction absurd, all his other guards were used to his reaction.They couldn’t believe that their indifferent master would fall for a lady like Luo Chu.

The attendant took a deep breath before speaking. “Elder Li revealed the incident to Divine Physician Bai on accident.”

The attendant spoke quickly as he was afraid Pei Qingfeng would harp on the ‘accident’.

Pei Qingfeng wasn’t able to catch the mistake but he raised his voice as he questioned the attendant, “What did you just say?! Elder Li revealed my actions in the dark?!”

The attendant nodded his head and repeated Elder Li’s message, word for word. “Elder Li also said that he was helping you as she wouldn’t have learned about it otherwise.”

“How is he helping by doing that?! He completely ruined my chance! I was planning to take things slow!”

The attendant grumbled softly, “Well, I thought he did the right thing…”

“What did you just say?! The two of you are so unreasonable! How am I supposed to face her now? She probably thinks I’m someone who doesn’t take responsibility for my actions.” Pei Qingfeng got even angrier after hearing the attendant’s words.

The attendant squirmed and finally countered, “Drop your act! You’re afraid she will ignore you and you won’t even be able to remain friends! Master said that a man should be decisive! If a servant like me can understand such a simple logic, why can’t the Second Prince of the Cloud Water Nation understand it?!”

Pei Qingfeng was stumped as he couldn’t retort the attendant.

When he saw his master in an awkward situation, the guard quickly came in and mediated the situation. “Master, since things are already as it is, you should come clean and tell Young Lady Luo Chu the truth. It’s not like you did something wrong. You should also show your goodwill.”

Pei Qingfeng sank into his chair and pondered for a long time before finally speaking up, “If there’s nothing else, you can return to the Hundred Herbs Hall. Thank Elder Li for his goodwill on my behalf.” No one knew the meaning behind his words.

The attendant obeyed him and returned to the Hundred Herbs Hall.

The silence in the study room was deafening. Even the sound of incense ash dropping to the ground could be heard.

“Let’s wait another day before visiting the general’s residence.” Pei Qingfeng was unwilling to accept his face.

...

At the same time, Pei Rumo was meeting with his secret guard who was stationed at the general’s residence.
