282 Everything Is Prepared (1/2)

Xue Chang Fu pulled Su Yan out of the study and then proceeded to run out of the building as if it was on fire. Since the days when he and Ziju An had been young men studying under the same Master, he hadn't dared to piss this taciturn senior martial brother of his off … too much. Since he already seemed to be in a bad mood with his brows scrunched up in a frown and all, he would just get the next best thing besides Ziju An's help: Dou Fang Hai's help.

He pulled Su Yan around the corner of the palace and behind a shrub, pushing him down onto the ground and crouching in front of him.

Su Yan stared at the strange person warily, prepared to call for his boyfriend to save him. ”Don't try anything funny! I'll call for my Master!” If he had known that writing a gay Sect Master would get him into this kind of trouble, he would have given him a wife!

Xue Chang Fu's brows twitched. ”What are you talking about, Xiao Hai? Quit the nonsense. And sit up properly. What if your Master catches you like this?” He pulled Su Yan onto his knees and looked around. Finally, he heaved a sigh of relief. ”Alright, it seems he isn't around.”

”Who?”

”Your Master!” Xue Chang Fu looked at him with doubt. ”I say, Xiao Hai, what is wrong with you today? You weren't this slow yesterday. Anyway.” He interrupted Su Yan before he could say anything and leaned forward in a conspiratorial manner. ”About the thing we've talked about.”

”What thing?”

Xue Chang Fu sighed, this time in exasperation, and moved next to Su Yan, lowering his voice to make sure nobody could hear them. ”About the thing with Yue Mu Gang. Did you get the wine?”

Su Yan still had some trouble to catch on. He didn't want to show that though. This person was Xue Chang Fu, a character he himself had created! He certainly couldn't let this guy think he was an idiot!

Su Yan cleared his throat and nodded. ”Of course.”

”Yes!” Xue Chang Fu hugged his martial nephew and only barely stopped himself from kissing him. ”That's great! Now our plan will definitely succeed. Don't forget to bring it with you when we go to town tomorrow.”

”Oh.” Su Yan nodded hurriedly. Ah, it had been the right choice to pretend to know what this was about. Now he was gaining valuable information! They were going to town tomorrow and he was supposed to bring wine. Most likely, they would be celebrating something. What else would they need the wine for?

Xue Chang Fu didn't let go of Su Yan yet. Instead, he leaned even closer. Then, he rummaged through his sleeve. ”Here. This is the thing I was talking about. Together with the wine, this is absolutely dependable. Nothing will go wrong!” He stuffed something into his martial nephew's hands and raised his brows, waiting for praise.
