Chapter 273
Master Yuan Jing smiled and asked Liu She, “Are you talking about Zixiao? I accepted him some time ago to make up for my regret . ”

As he was speaking, the young man turned around and left, leaving only a somewhat thin and tall figure .
Liu She opened his eyes slightly . Nobody knew what he was thinking .
After quite some time he mumbled, “It turns out that he’s the fourth disciple of Master Yuan Jing . He looks really extraordinary indeed…”
Although that was what he said, he secretly grew suspicious . Since when did Yuan Jing become Wei Zixiao’s master? There were doubts in his heart and the look in his eyes became dim .
Wei Ci was a Langye native and he also studied at Langye Academy . However, due to the misfortune faced by his family, his entire family left Dongqing .
Master Yuan Jing squinted his eyes a little . His cold gaze seemed to have seen through everything . Seeing Liu She’s reaction, he said, “I originally could not accept him as a disciple . Although we were destined to meet as a master and a disciple, we’re not meant to be . ”
Liu She’s hand, which was holding the chess piece, paused . He looked moderately curious and suspicious . “If that’s the case, why did you accept him as your disciple?”
“Zixiao has a knot in his heart . Due to that, he’s smart, but he likes to get himself into a dead end . He’ll go astray if he’s careless . I wanted to have him as my disciple twice in the past, but he rejected me . Now that he’s enlightened, I’m very delighted, of course . ”
For Yuan Jing, there was nothing more gratifying than seeing the disciple he had high expectations for overcome his mental obstacles and grow stronger .
It was as if Liu She was dealing with a closed book . He was completely confused .
All the while, there were only people going after Yuan Jing, wanting him to become their master . There was actually someone whom Yuan Jing wanted badly as his disciple…
Wei Ci… It seemed that Amin also said that he was a good strategist . To put it simply, he was the most handsome among the wise––the smartest among the charmers .
This was a man who was noble in written history and whose dark side and scheming only appeared in unwritten history .

So, Master Yuan Jing, are you sure you’re not kidding?
“If you like him this much, he must be pretty good at everything . ” Liu She tried to keep himself normal, so as not to reveal flaws .
“Of course . Zixiao can make a harmonious and orderly home . ”
Liu She and Feng Ren, who was watching the chess game by the side, were speechless . Wait a second… Make a harmonious and orderly home? Was there nothing wrong with that description?
Knock, knock, knock…
Jiang Pengji immersed herself idly in the hot spring with a neatly folded towel resting on her forehead . Her long, black hair was fixed on top of her head with a hairpin, revealing her slim, fair neck . Her skin was covered with water droplets . Due to the steam, she looked like as if a camera filter was applied to her face .
Although she was wearing clothes, the audience in the streaming room expressed that they could not stand it anymore .
Sugar-fried chestnuts: “#Cheeky . I want to crawl into the screen and have a couple baths with the streamer . ”
Zhubo Zhengmian Shangwo: “There are always troublemakers who want to snatch the streamer away from me . ”
Hearing the sound of knocking, Jiang Pengji opened her heavy eyes . Her face was somewhat flushed and misty due to the steam, as if a top-grade blush was applied to her face .
“Has the maid come to deliver the wine?” she asked lazily, her eyebrows lifting her . “Come in! Just place the wine beside the pool…”
Outside the room, Wei Ci, who got permission to come in, opened the door slightly . He was greeted by the hot and humid heat and his sight was completely covered by steam .

The audience in the streaming room was the first to discover an abnormality . At that time, Jiang Pengji’s eyes were still lazily shut halfway .
One Chestnut: “Wake up!!! A strange man has entered . Be careful!”
Laosiji Lianmeng: “He’s a man, not a maid who delivers wine . Don’t fall asleep . He may take advantage of you . ”
Weifeng Tangtang: “Don’t be lazy! Do your streaming right!”
There were people who warned Jiang Pengji, but of course, there were also people who noticed the appearance of the strange man .
Flirtatious bullet screens wiped away the warnings in an instant . He was an unprecedented, spectacular view .
Looking at the changes in the bullet screens, Jiang Pengji frowned a little . She could imagine the charm of the person without turning her head .
The audience in the streaming room did not have much merit, except that their aesthetic standards were quite normal . Not all charming faces made them drool in front of the screen .
“You seem to have come to the wrong room,” Jiang Pengji said without turning her head . She rested her arms on the edge of the pool, her whole body relaxed .
The strange man outside did not come in . Instead, he lowered his head and spoke in a low voice that sounded like that of a person between their teenage years and adulthood .
“I’m Wei Ci . Your father requests for you to go to Room Tianzi No . 1 in the Rose Garden . ”
Jiang Pengji turned to look at the man and asked, “Did you say my father?”
Wei Ci’s body stiffened a little bit and he lowered his head all of a sudden . He immediately returned to his normal self, as if anything unusual had never happened .
He replied confidently, “You father and Master Yuan Jing are playing chess . He specifically ordered me to come and tell you . ”
Jiang Pengji secretly rubbed her eyebrows . Although the hot spring was comfortable, she could not be in it for long .
“Why are you being so cautious? Wait a moment . I’ll clean up and go with you . ”
“It’s all right . Go ahead . ”
Right after that, the door closed again . There was a vague shadow by the door . It seemed like the man did not leave .
Upon seeing the situation, Jiang Pengji frowned, but she did not say anything .
She came out of the hot spring and turned off the streaming temporarily . She put on a dry robe after wiping herself off .
After that, she turned on the streaming again and pushed the door open at the same time .
She said to Wei Ci who was squatting by the door, “Please lead the way . ”
At that moment, she could see Wei Ci’s appearance clearly without the steam .
Seeing him in person, she could understand why the people who were obsessed with looks in the streaming room were so excited .
Her thick, long, black hair was damp and warm, draping over her shoulders and leaving wet marks . The ends of her hair were dripping water beads .
Her complexion was as clear as jade and her skin was like fine porcelain . Due to the heat, her cheeks were slightly flushed, giving off a tipsy and enchanted feeling .
The hair above his temples was sharply outlined, as if it was cut with a knife, and his eyebrows seemed as if they were painted on with India ink . His pure black eyes were calm and cool . When he made eye contact with Jiang Pengji, he did not reveal any emotion . It was as if he was empty-minded… Jiang Pengji was fascinated with that alone .
It was the first time she had met the young man for the first time . Why was his guard up?
He turned his eyeballs towards her . He had a plan .
Jiang Pengji knelt down on one knee and squatted close to the young man . The look in the pair of the seemingly calm eyes wavered uncontrollably .
“If you didn’t have an Adam’s apple and pierced ears, I would’ve thought that you were a young lady who actually came to the hot spring alone . ”
Wei Ci looked aloof and he leaned backwards a little, pulling away from Jiang Pengji . He frowned somewhat unpleasantly .
“Your joke is a bit too much . I don’t like people who talk about looks and make jokes about them . ”
Jiang Pengji got up and responded while crossing her arms, “I’m clearly praising you for your good looks . ”
Wei Ci pursed his lips, got up to lead the way, and replied coldly, “I’m a man . It’s really rude to compare me to a woman . ”
Jiang Pengji was speechless . Why, he has quite a temper!
“Lanting?” a familiar voice interrupted with some hesitation .
Jiang Pengji looked into the direction of the voice, only to see a skinny, young man leaning against the pavilion smiling at her, a look of surprise in his eyes .
