Chapter 477: Chapter 464: Elegant and Graceful

But in all honesty, why did he get the feeling that his own master was becoming increasingly petty…

Ning Feng thought to himself, revealing nothing externally. After making the bed for Chu Jinnian, and helping him into bed, he lowered the bed curtains, extinguishing the candle on the desk and leaving only the one in the corner alight before exiting and closing the door.

Once Ning Feng was out of sight, Chu Jinnian got up and retrieved the jade Bi from a box on the side, clasping it in his hand. After a moment of deep thought, he finally placed the jade Bi beside his pillow.

The following day, dawn broke.

“Good morning, Mr. Fan,” Banqing greeted, busily setting the breakfast table in the Flower Hall when she saw Fan Wenxuan. She hurriedly stood up to greet him properly.

“Good morning,” Fan Wenxuan responded, yawning broadly, rubbing his tired eyes.

He had barely slept the previous night, tossing and turning.

Out of fury, shame, and worry.

He was concerned that his murmuring from last night was overheard by Chu Jinnian, who may have come to his courtyard looking for trouble. He wondered if Chu Jinnian would resort to further insidious tricks against him.

However, all seemed quiet throughout the night.

This only unnerved Fan Wenxuan more.

He was worried it was the calm before the storm. Consequently, upon waking, he stayed in his room thinking for a while before cautiously seeking out Chu Jinzhou, hoping to have his student intervene with his ruthless and domineering older brother.

But when he arrived, neither Chu Jinzhou nor Chu Jinnian were to be seen.

“Where is the master?” Fan Wenxuan asked, his gaze sweeping the area, “Why isn’t Jinzhou here either?”

“The master and the Third Young Master left early this morning,” Banqing replied.

They had left?

Fan Wenxuan was taken aback.

Chu Jinnian would travel to here from the capital city every few months, with a draining and gruelling journey.

Although he retired early the previous night, Fan Wenxuan assumed Chu Jinnian would not have the energy to stroll around.

Apart from this, with the current freezing weather, there did not seem to be any suitable places to stroll around.

Most importantly, Chu Jinnian somehow took Chu Jinzhou out and he didn’t even bother to inform him.

Well, Chu Jinnian, you were so keen on making me, an old man, suffer when you returned, now you are giving me the cold shoulder!

This was totally outrageous, downright outrageous!

Fan Wenxuan was incredibly angry but when he saw Banqing and Ning Feng next to him, he managed to keep his facial expressions under control.

It was necessary to save face. As for that bastard Chu Jinnian…

Hmph, don’t ask him to join you then, who cares about going out with you two brothers anyway!

Angry, Fan Wenxuan sat down with a thump, picked up a tofu skin bun and started to devour it, following it with a bowl of tofu meatball soup.

Seeing Fan Wenxuan in such a sullen mood, Ning Feng felt a little sympathetic and tried to console him, “The master said it’s better for Mr. Fan to not be involved in today’s affairs.”

“It’s probably for Mr. Fan’s own good, in Master’s opinion,” he added.

It’s better for him not to go?

Fan Wenxuan almost forgot to chew the tofu skin bun in his mouth.
