Qing Ye did not bring him to the fourth floor, but instead made him wait in the living room on the first floor. As Qing Ye went out to make tea, Yun Ruoleng looked around every corner of the living room, but he didn't find anything suspicious. Only then did he withdraw his gaze, and pretended to be uneasy as he stirred his handkerchief.

”It's said that Miss Yun is sick. I haven't even had the chance to visit her, yet you've come running over yourself.” Fu Qinglian walked into the room with a sweet smile. She was not wearing a veil today. Her face was slightly pale, but there was no sign of her being injured.

Yun Ruoleng's gaze easily swept across her as he smiled in embarrassment, ”Not because I'm sick, but because I met an assassin. It's fortunate that I'm not dead, otherwise I wouldn't have heard the emperor's solemn oath.”

”What?” Fu Qinglian's eyes widened as she looked at Yun Ruoleng in disbelief. ”There's actually an assassin in this residence!? Didn't the emperor investigate? ”

”What are you looking for!” Yun Ruoleng sighed, looked at Fu Qinglian pitifully and said, ”That person is crafty! Not a single clue was left behind. ”

”So it's like that!” Fu Qinglian sighed regretfully. The relaxed look that flashed past her eyes did not escape Yun Ruoleng's eyes.

Yun Ruoleng only smiled, but in his heart, he had already confirmed Lie Feng's words.

Fu Qinglian held onto Yun Ruoleng's hand and asked in concern, ”Are your injuries serious?”

”It's just some superficial wounds. But because of this assassination attempt, my cultivation has increased by quite a bit!” Actually, I am quite grateful to the person who wanted to kill me. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have such a fast cultivation speed. ” Yun Ruoleng said excitedly as he held onto Fu Qinglian's hand.

The expression on Fu Qinglian's face became unnatural as the anger in her heart became deeper.

Yun Ruoleng had always taken her expression seriously, and had no choice but to say that the woman was good at pretending, and always showed an expression of concern. After she finished saying that, she immediately said: ”Then you must have gotten lucky from your misfortune.”

”That's right!” Yun Ruoleng continued with a smile, ”However, this is also due to the Emperor's contributions. If not for him, I wouldn't have been promoted so quickly. On the night of the injury, the Emperor almost killed Imperial Physician Jiang in a hurry.

”Amitabha, it is said that a wise man has his own destiny. Miss Yun must be a kind-hearted person.” Fu Qinglian covered the corner of her mouth as she smiled. If she didn't pay attention, she wouldn't have been able to tell that something was amiss.

Yun Ruoleng's phoenix eyes flashed with an undetectable coldness, and the smile on her face became even more dazzling: ”I heard that Miss Fu was sixteen years old and one year younger than me, so we're already familiar with each other. What do you think? I call you Sister Lian, and you call me Sister Yun? ”

”I already wanted to call you that from the first moment I laid eyes on you. I was just afraid of scaring my sister.” Fu Qinglian was full of smiles, but her eyes were clear and bright. She didn't even have a smile in her eyes.

”Since you're a sister, I'll have a word with you!” Yun Ruoleng pulled Fu Qinglian down and the two of them started to chat.

Liefeng, who was standing in front of the Lotus Garden's gate, didn't seem to not want to leave either. What was this woman planning to do?

”Sir Lie?” Qing Ye carried a cup of tea to his side and bowed, ”Why aren't you going in?”

”I... ”No way!” Liefeng looked at the smile on Qing Ye's face and choked back his words, then he said, ”Miss Fu, as a man, if I barge in, I will ruin your reputation.”

Qing Ye smiled slightly: ”The sun is scorching hot, my lord should wait under the pavilion! It's really hot here. ”

”Thank you!” Qing Ye led the strong wind into the pavilion, put down the tea and left.
