CHAPTER 270 (2/2)

He didn’t go to bed and just leaned against the soft bed for a moment.

In light of the national teacher’s self-abused, Xie Xi wanted to seize every opportunity to coax him. “Are you busy right now?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Xie Xi casually picked up a book. “Then stay with me.”

The national teacher paused for a moment before saying, “Okay.”

Xie Xi leaned on the soft couch and listened to the national teacher’s voice reading political papers written by an unknown person.

It was hypnotic and it wasn’t long before Xie Xi was a bit drowsy.

The voice of the national teacher was becoming lighter. He saw Xie Xi breathing evenly and put down the book.

Xie Xi thought that Jiang Xie would leave. He was still sleepy but still opened his eyes. “You aren’t reading it?”

The national teacher’s calm eyes flashed and there was some helplessness in his tone. “Your Majesty, go to sleep peacefully.”

Xie Xi vaguely felt there was something in this person’s words.

“You can rest assured that I won’t do any more confused things. If you like the little loin, leave him around. I won’t hurt him.”

Xie Xi was startled and was full of question marks and exclamation marks.

What was this situation?!

Was this Jiang Xie?

What was this ‘master of the palace’ accommodating a new ‘concubine’ style?

The national teacher spoke again. “As this subordinate mentioned, I won’t be arrogant.”

His voice was very light but it made people feel endless sorrow, as if forced to the end of the world and having to jump into the abyss.

Xie Xi’s senses returned. He could guess some things from these phrases.

The national teacher’s sense of possession was very strong and he interfered with Beast King Rose’s private affairs. Was the beast king’s leaving related to these aspects?

Confession was one thing, wanting to monopolize the beast king was anything thing.

That’s why he said he didn’t want anything, kept using ‘this subordinate’ and kept serving Xie Xi.

It was to keep Xie Xi here and prevent him from leaving.

Xie Xi had mixed emotions in his heart.

Poor Xie Xi didn’t dare kill himself by saying that he wasn’t interested in the little lion. What if the national teacher clearly told him?

What should he do?

Xie Xi could only be vague.

This type of ambiguity was already acknowledged by the clever and skillful national teacher.

There weren’t many changes in the national teacher. He only spoke in a low voice, “Your Majesty, please rest.”

Xie Xi wanted the national teacher to stay here in order to become closer to him, letting him relax. Xie Xi tried to be clever only to end up with egg on his face. It only made the national teacher mistakenly think he was an obstacle…

Xie Xi’s brain was hurting and he should first sleep to refresh his spirit.

Once he woke up, he heard the sound of a book being put down and the man’s gentle voice. “You can keep sleeping.”

Xie Xi opened his eyes and spoke. “No, I’m a bit hungry.”

The national teacher stated, “Then I’ll arrange lunch now.”

Xie Xi nodded.

Leo was sitting at the dining table. This guy didn’t hide his hostility for the national teacher and set up a flag to declare war!

The national teacher didn’t look at him and only carefully took care of Xie Xi.

Xie Xi didn’t know what to say and could only temporarily drag things out by eating.

Fortunately, the table was big enough and Leo was far away from him. There were many servants and Leo didn’t say anything.

It would be really hard to drag this out for much longer.

Leo could be described as a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. Once he recognized something, he needed an answer.

He got up and opened his mouth. “Your Majesty, I have something to say to you.”

Xie Xi’s chopsticks weren’t stable.

The master glanced at Leo. “Please talk about it after the meal.”

How could Xie Xi keep eating? He ordered, “Let them go out.” He was referring to the servants.

The national teacher glanced at them and the servants left with a bow and lowered eyes.

Leo raised his eyebrows and glanced diagonally at the national master.

The national teacher’s face didn’t change colour. “His Majesty isn’t well and there must always be someone waiting around.” The implication was that he wouldn’t leave.

Leo stated, “I’ll take care of him.”

“You can’t take care of him.”

How could Leo be satisfied? “I have been around him for six months and I know how to take care of him!”

This made sense. Xie Xi thought that Leo was doing well.

The national teacher raised his gaze. “He feels pain night and day and aches all over his joints. His beast spirit’s breath is blocked. This is your care?”

Leo was stunned.

“Do you know what illness he was born with and what his body is like?”

Leo didn’t know and Xie Xi himself didn’t know. He just wanted to know.

However, the national teacher didn’t seem to want to open Xie Xi’s pain and bowed. “This subordinate was rude.”

Xie Xi was anxious. ‘No, no, no, you aren’t rude. Continue to talk about my illness!’

Unfortunately, the national teacher’s mood was stabilized and it was impossible for him to talk about it.

Leo frowned and looked at Xie Xi. “What’s wrong with your body? Why can’t you tell me?”

Xie Xi, “???”

How did the conversation turn around to him?

The national teacher stood by his side silently with eyes lowered.

Xie Xi wanted to say, ‘National teacher, you tell him, what disease do I have?’

It was just that based on the attitude of the national teacher, he wouldn’t open his mouth because he was afraid of Xie Xi…

Leo watched them and his expression was somewhat strange. “I understand.”

Little lion, what do you understand?

Xie Xi hadn’t thought of a good response when Leo continued, “You think I am ridiculous. I dare to say that I like you even though I don’t know anything about you.”

“Sorry,” Leo declared. “If it bothers you, don’t worry. I’ll leave tomorrow.”
