Aloof?
Lu Xueqi was indeed aloof.
To outsiders, she truly seemed somewhat out of reach, impossible to approach, someone who could only be admired from afar.
But—
To Wang Quan Yan?
Lu Xueqi did not seem all that unapproachable.
He felt that Lu Xueqi was actually quite easy to get along with.
Though her temperament was rather aloof.
If you teased her a little, it was quite fun too.
Just like last time.
Lu Xueqi had clearly kept a cold face and put on an aloof air, yet her pretty face had been flushed crimson, making her seem incredibly adorable.
He really wanted to reach out and pinch her cheeks.
At this moment.
Wang Quan Yan stared blankly at the aloof maiden before him.
His gaze lingered on the maiden's face for a moment. Her cheeks were somewhat slender, but not completely devoid of softness. Though they could not be called baby fat, they could still be pinched...
He wondered, if he really touched them?
What would they feel like?
Wang Quan Yan fell into deep thought.
"Hmm?!"
Lu Xueqi noticed that the youth's gaze had remained fixed on her face. She could not help frowning, realizing that he was thinking something improper...
At this moment.
Lu Xueqi's expression immediately darkened.
To be honest.
She thought Wang Quan Yan was good in every way, but there was one thing that had always irritated her.
That was—
Wang Quan Yan always liked to offend her.
The aloof maiden felt somewhat annoyed.
But for some reason.
Lu Xueqi did not seem to dislike Wang Quan Yan's offenses? At most, she would keep a straight face and sulk.
Of course.
She had not yet noticed that something was wrong with herself.
After all—
Those involved could not see clearly, while onlookers could.
Lu Xueqi had already fallen bit by bit into Wang Quan Yan's trap. How could she possibly notice that something was wrong with her?!
At this moment.
The aloof maiden was a little angry.
She felt offended, so she kept a straight face, glared at Wang Quan Yan with her cold eyes, took one or two steps back, and silently watched him without speaking...
"Senior Sister Lu."
Wang Quan Yan seemed somewhat awkward.
What he wanted to say next might sound a little perverted to Lu Xueqi.
"Hmm?"
Lu Xueqi frowned slightly.
She raised her eyes to look at Wang Quan Yan before her, not knowing why he had suddenly become so awkward.
"I..."
Wang Quan Yan had just been about to speak.
However,
Just then.
"Hehe~"
"Senior Brother Qi Hao, hurry up and come over~"
A maiden's playful voice came from the other end of Rainbow Bridge.
Wang Quan Yan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Lu Xueqi's expression tightened faintly.
Both of them recognized the owner of that voice.
Looking over.
They saw that at the other end of Rainbow Bridge.
A charming young woman dressed in red was strolling with a man in white. The young woman's face was full of bashfulness, while Qi Hao wore a smile. As they walked together across Rainbow Bridge, their hands unconsciously clasped together...
Suddenly,
Just then.
They stopped walking.
Because—there was a young man and woman blocking their path ahead.
Tian Ling'er blinked.
She had not expected anyone else to be meeting in secret here. She had intended to take a closer look at who they were, but who would have thought...
Tian Ling'er looked carefully, and her face immediately turned pale.
The young man and woman ahead were none other than her former fiancé, Wang Quan Yan, and Lu Xueqi of Small Bamboo Peak...
Why were they together?!
Tian Ling'er felt inexplicably displeased.
At this moment.
Qi Hao also noticed Wang Quan Yan and Lu Xueqi ahead.
He raised an eyebrow slightly but said nothing.
For a time.
The atmosphere became somewhat strange.
Neither side spoke first, and they remained locked in a stalemate...
Lu Xueqi stood beside Wang Quan Yan.
She calmly looked at Tian Ling'er and Qi Hao before her. Her gaze lingered for a moment on their clasped hands, and she only felt a little disgusted...
Tian Ling'er noticed Lu Xueqi's gaze.
Her face paled slightly, and she immediately pulled her hand back with force.
Seeing this.
Qi Hao understood that it was his turn to step forward.
He came forward and asked with a gentle expression, "Junior Brother Wang Quan, Junior Sister Lu, I didn't expect to run into you two so late at night. Could it be that you couldn't sleep either and arranged to come out for a walk?"
The key point.
The word "arranged."
Qi Hao wanted to lump Wang Quan Yan and Lu Xueqi into the category of a "secret rendezvous" too. That way, everyone would be the same sort of people, and no one could criticize anyone else...
Upon hearing this.
Tian Ling'er reacted as well.
She poked her head out from behind Qi Hao and stared at Wang Quan Yan with wide eyes, as if they had done something wrong.
"Heh—"
Wang Quan Yan sneered upon hearing that.
When Lu Xueqi heard Qi Hao's words, she could not help frowning as well, disgust rising endlessly in her heart...
Playing mind games?
Did he think everyone had a guilty conscience like him?
Wang Quan Yan stood calmly beside Lu Xueqi. Looking at Qi Hao before him, he said indifferently, "Senior Brother Qi Hao, please watch your words. I may not care about my reputation, but Senior Sister Lu still needs hers..."
"Senior Sister Lu and I are completely innocent, honorable and upright. We would not dare admit to any secret rendezvous."
After saying that.
Wang Quan Yan even openly edged closer to Lu Xueqi. Yet no matter how close he moved, they always maintained a certain distance.
Unlike certain people.
Who were already holding hands.
Shameless.
Lu Xueqi stood calmly where she was.
She allowed Wang Quan Yan to edge closer to her. Just as he had said, they were completely innocent and honorable—what was there to worry about?
With that thought.
Lu Xueqi cast a slight sideways glance.
Qi Hao had slandered her like this, so naturally she was not someone who could be bullied.
She glanced at Tian Ling'er and said in a cold voice, "Junior Sister Tian, as fellow disciples of the Qingyun Sect, I must offer you a word of advice. Girls should show at least some restraint, especially when you are the only daughter of Uncle-Master Tian and Aunt-Master Su..."
"What if someone else saw what happened tonight?"
"Even if you do not care about your reputation."
"Uncle-Master Tian and the others do."
"As their daughter, you should still consider their feelings."
Lu Xueqi's cold voice echoed through the surroundings.
At this moment.
A fatal blow!
After Tian Ling'er heard those words.
Her face immediately flushed bright red.
An overwhelming sense of shame engulfed her like a tide.
Lu Xueqi's words were practically pointing at her nose and calling her shameless...
"Senior Sister Lu, you..."
Tian Ling'er looked at Lu Xueqi in disbelief.
She had not expected Lu Xueqi to insult her like this without regard for their past friendship?
Lu Xueqi looked at her indifferently.
Friendship?
Heh—
Qi Hao had already begun slandering her.
What friendship did she still need to care about?
Tian Ling'er.
You thought too highly of yourself.
Did you really think that being the daughter of a Peak Master made your status so lofty?
Sorry.
That did not work on me!
Wang Quan Yan stared blankly at the scene before him.
Holy shit!
Xueqi was amazing!
That was a direct kill!
