”Clan leader is too polite.” Jun Qingshang nodded indifferently, the aura around him was still so strong that it was hard to breathe.
Yun Ruoleng smiled sweetly and did not say a word. Peach Blossom and An Ying who followed behind with their heads held high and their chests puffed up as they followed behind Xia Hou Chun.
The men and women of the Xiahou Clan were seated separately. Upon entering, they heard a gentle voice call out to them. ”Cousin, you've come.”
Jun Qingshang slightly nodded his head, his face did not have any additional expression from the start to the end, and Yun Ruoleng who was at the side had his mouth slightly raised, his eyes revealing no happiness nor joy.
Seeing Xiahou Jin Rou reach out to stop him, Yun Ruoleng turned to her side slightly. ”What is Miss Xiahou doing?”
Xiahou Jin Rou's hand paused as she pursed her lips in slight embarrassment. ”If Jin Rou wants to bring her cousin to the women's quarters, there's no other reason.”
”Is that so?” Yun Ruoleng looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, and his body had already been pulled into Jun Qingshang's embrace with caution.
Without waiting for Xiahou Jin Rou to speak, he heard Jun Qingshang say, ”When did the rules of the Xiahou Family apply to men and women sitting separately?”
”Father said that he was afraid that the women and men would be embarrassed together, so he decided to take a seat separately.” Xiahou Jin Rou was also somewhat helpless when she spoke up at this point. There was an awkward expression on her face. Tian Qi Kingdom did not have the habit of seating separately for men and women, and it would not affect them much even if they occasionally appeared in some places. The decision that the Xiahou Family had made this time was rather strange.
”I will now bring Ruo Er to see Grandmother.” Jun Qingshang did not speak anymore, and directly walked around her.
After Yun Ruoleng was dragged away by Jun Qingshang, Xiahou Jin Rou's eyes flashed a cold look. Yun Ruoleng, don't think that you can interrogate me just because your cousin is protecting you right now.
Yun Ruoleng did not forget one thing, and that was that her esteemed Regent was an idiot. Even she, who led her in all sorts of twists and turns, did not know where the two of them had gone to.
”Are we lost?” Yun Ruoleng muttered to himself in a low voice by his side.
His voice wasn't loud, but it completely entered Jun Qingshang's ears. Jun Qingshang slightly nodded, and with a calm face, he said: ”This courtyard is just like a maze, if you want to walk out, I'm afraid you'll need some effort.”
”Jun Qingshang...” Yun Ruoleng was speechless. Just now, when he was walking forward with a serious expression on his face, he thought he knew the way.
Jun Qingshang raised his hand and rubbed her head, and then whistled into the sky, causing an eagle's cry to ring out. Yun Ruoleng heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled: ”Don't worry, I won't throw you here.”
Yun Ruoleng snorted: ”Let's go!”
Jun Qingshang nodded her head, she had no choice but to follow her little wife, holding her hand and walking towards the eagle's direction.
Yun Ruoleng remembered that it was used to send a message last time. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this eagle was more useful than Jun Qingshang. This way, Yun Ruoleng could only speak in his heart. If Jun Qingshang knew about this, he would probably have Eagle Soup to drink tonight.
Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the main hall, and they could faintly hear the sounds of laughter from inside. The old granny guarding the door watched as Jun Qingshang brought Yun Ruoleng in, and quickly pulled open the curtain to report in.
