A Small Misunderstanding

Jia Xingtian and Miter Tengshan watched Ya Fei emerge from Gu Fang's room. Neither showed any expression on the surface, but both their hearts stirred at the same time.

Miter, that old fox, is truly shrewd, sending Ya Fei to act as the intermediary. Coming out of his room at a time like this...

She must have already given herself to him. In that case...

No matter how cold-hearted he is, he would have to reveal something.

And something casually given by a sect like that could be an unimaginable treasure. More importantly, it is not the treasure itself, but this connection!

With Ya Fei in the Mite'er Family from now on, who would dare touch even a finger of the Mite'er Family?

Compared to that, I practically handed over my identity token and half the Jia Ma Empire just to earn a few polite words. I do not even know what his attitude will be like afterward. For now, he has merely promised not to be hostile!

Miter Tengshan's heart was no less unsettled.

He had known nothing whatsoever about Ya Fei going to Gu Fang's room. Had it happened after Lei Ou and Lei La were dealt with last night?

Still, he could finally rest easy this time...

At the very least, with this relationship, Gu Fang would no longer take his anger out on the Mite'er Family.

Later, he would have to speak with Ya Fei in detail.

At this very moment, Jia Xingtian and Miter Tengshan were thinking exactly alike. In their hearts, Ya Fei had already become Gu Fang's woman.

It was understandable, really. After all...

With Ya Fei's figure and beauty, enough to drive countless men mad, and after spending a night alone in the same room, if they did not play a little poker, were they supposed to have a heart-to-heart talk?

Ya Fei, who had just stepped outside, saw Gu Fang's group, especially Jia Xingtian.

Her heart jolted violently!

Even if Ya Fei had not belonged to the Mite'er Family, she would still have recognized the old man in hemp robes. He was the guardian deity of the Jia Ma imperial family. Who in the entire Jia Ma Empire did not know him?

Even the Great Elder had come along.

They must have come for Gu Fang!

With that thought in mind, Ya Fei unconsciously glanced at Gu Fang.

Then she adjusted her posture, took a soft breath, and approached them. "Ya Fei greets Young Master Gu, Jia Xingtian, and Great Elder!"

"Good!"

Gu Fang glanced back. Ya Fei had already returned to her usual seductive bearing.

Red long boots, a form-fitting qipao, and a voice sweet enough to melt one's heart.

"It has been half a year since we last met, yet Ya Fei has grown even more beautiful. When you have time, you should visit the imperial family. The Little Princess misses you dearly."

Watching Ya Fei approach, Jia Xingtian's aged face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum-like smile as he spoke.

Hearing Jia Xingtian's words, Ya Fei felt somewhat uncomfortable...

Although she had met the Little Princess several times before, they had never been close enough for such familiarity.

There could only be one reason he was being so amiable toward her at this moment: Gu Fang beside her. They...

They had definitely misunderstood.

"When I have time, Ya Fei will certainly visit!"

Ya Fei dipped into a slight bow. She was just about to choose her words and explain why she had come out of Gu Fang's room, but Jia Xingtian had already shifted his gaze away from her.

He turned to Gu Fang, clasped his hands, and smiled. "It seems This Old Man came at the wrong time and disturbed Young Master's good affair!

"Then This Old Man shall take his leave for today. If Young Master needs anything, simply send someone with that token to the imperial family.

"The imperial family will absolutely give its full support."

After speaking, Jia Xingtian stepped back.

As Jia Xingtian left, the Great Elder beside him also clasped his hands. "Then this old fellow shall take his leave as well. If Young Master Gu needs anything, simply inform those below."

After saying that, he cast Ya Fei an approving look and hurried away.

As Ya Fei watched the two leave, even the poise she had cultivated over years as an auctioneer seemed to have gone with them. For a moment, she did not know what to do.

She knew very clearly that the two had misunderstood, but...

She did not know where to begin explaining.

Moreover, she still had not figured out the thoughts of the young man beside her. If what Jia Xingtian and the Great Elder had said were true, it would be one thing, but it was not...

Nothing had really happened.

If those words from Jia Xingtian and the Great Elder caused this person's displeasure...

Given this person's status, who knew what kind of disaster might follow?

Ya Fei had once heard that certain great clans and sects had extremely strict requirements for their disciples and successors. If such baseless rumors were spread...

Then...

Just as Ya Fei was considering how to explain herself, Gu Fang, standing beside her, suddenly spoke.

"Miss Ya Fei, thank you for yesterday!"

Looking at Ya Fei's seductive face, Gu Fang said, "As for what happened just now, I will explain it clearly to the Great Elder and Jia Xingtian later.

"I hope it will not cause Miss Ya Fei any trouble."

Gu Fang's words rang beside Ya Fei's ears and echoed in her mind...

In an instant...

Every calculation in Ya Fei's heart completely collapsed!

Ya Fei had never imagined that a young man of such status would be the first to apologize to her. She had never encountered anything like it in all her previous life.

After all...

This was a world of Dou Qi where strength reigned supreme. Strength and influence were everything.

With strength...

Why would one need to care about anything else?

"Young Master is too polite. As long as it does not cause Young Master any trouble, that is enough. Ya Fei will naturally explain matters to the Great Elder and Jia Xingtian."

As Ya Fei spoke, the seductive smile on her face became even more radiant.

Her peach-blossom eyes radiated charm as she gazed at Gu Fang. Even Ya Fei herself did not notice that in her gaze at this moment...

The deliberate quality from before had already vanished, leaving only a completely natural allure.

"That is good!"

Gu Fang smiled as he met Ya Fei's gaze. His heart seemed to seize for a moment. He coughed to conceal his awkwardness and lowered his eyes, but that very movement...

Happened to reveal the deep valley between Ya Fei's two snow-white peaks.

Though it was accidental, Gu Fang could see...

That was...

Those surging mounds were wrapped in nothing but a single outer layer of clothing, with nothing else beneath.

If one looked closely.

"Cough..."

Gu Fang coughed again, then took a step back.

Seeing Gu Fang's reaction, Ya Fei felt puzzled before realizing something. A trace of embarrassment appeared on her face, along with the slightest hint of pride.

It seemed...

He was not quite so immune to women after all.

No matter how noble his status or how powerful his talent, he was still just a young boy.

The instant this thought appeared, Ya Fei herself froze. How could...

Why had she thought that?

"Miss Ya Fei, if there is nothing else, Gu Fang will be leaving."

As Gu Fang spoke, he stole another glance at those snow-white long legs. Then he took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring. "Consider this medicinal pill a small gift for Miss Ya Fei.

"Until we meet again another day!"

With that, Gu Fang immediately turned and walked toward the stairway.

Gu Fang had originally wanted to say that they would meet again if fate allowed it, but then he remembered...

Ya Fei was an auctioneer in Wutan City, and he was going to Wutan City as well, so he changed his words...

Until we meet again another day!
