Linghe did not dare to act rashly and immediately placed the gifts down as he stood civilly beside Ji Fengyan. On the other hand, Ji Fengyan casually sat down on a chair at the side and her face was smiling slightly, without showing any signs of discomfort or unease.

Even though the dark guard was ordered by the grand tutor to host the guest, he was not good at speaking and only asked the servants to serve up tea while he stood without moving.

Ji Fengyan’s gaze scanned the area and it was hard to not admit that the grand tutor had many decently strong guards under his arm. Even though she did not know the method of training in this world, she could tell the energy that was bursting from within them. It was highly possible that any of the guards here would be even stronger than the strongest swordsman in Ji City.

Ji Fengyan was a little bored from waiting. She supported her chin with an arm and looked at the dark guard, who was looking straight ahead.

That day when Xing Lou appeared, the dark guard was so fierce in his attack.

The dark guard could faintly notice Ji Fengyan’s gaze but he was not bothered by it and only thought of it as a young girl’s curiosity.

“You are called dark guard? Is this your name or your title?” suddenly, Ji Fengyan asked.

The dark guard stood without moving and did not intend to respond. But after hesitating, he still said, “The dark guard title is a code name for all the guards serving the grand tutor.”

“Then what is your name?” Ji Fengyan smiled as she asked.

“...” the dark guard was a little speechless. While everyone else was nervous when they were in the grand tutor’s place, only this girl was this at ease and not the least anxious.

Linghe looked at his Miss as she started to tease the grand tutor’s guard as if no one was around and instantly felt cold sweat running down his body. He had secretly tried to gaze meaningfully at Ji Fengyan but she did not react.

Faced with the dark guard’s coldness, Ji Fengyan was not at all bothered. She only held her cheeks with her hand and said, “Your are quite strong but it is still not good for you to suppress your powers too much. Your internal injuries have yet to recover so it’s best for you to not move too violently, otherwise you will have consequences to bear in three years’ time.”

Ji Fengyan said nonchalantly but what she said made the dark guard stunned!

That pair of stern eyes suddenly focused on Ji Fengyan.

How did she know?!

Ji Fengyan smiled at the dark guard, took out a bottle of pills and placed it on the table, “I have yet to thank you for dealing with Zhan Fei previously. These are my handmade pills, and they may be useful to you.”

The dark guard frowned slightly as he looked at the pills on the table with a complicated gaze.

But Ji Fengyan did not have any intention to speak and only looked at her smilingly.

She had always been someone who could tell gratitude and grudge apart. Even though the dark guard had acted on behalf of the grand tutor’s orders, this score of hers was still settled by him. So this bottle of pills was just to return his favour.

The dark guard was prepared to say something when a slender figure suddenly walked into the front yard.

Ji Fengyan’s gaze was quickly drawn away by the white figure. That person walked slowly and there was no flaw in him at all. He was just as good-looking as the first time when they met.

Xing Lou entered the front yard and sat down. His gaze naturally landed on Ji Fengyan. When he sat down, his posture was very graceful but no one had actually realised how tense his muscles were.

“Why are you here to look for me?” Xing Lou looked straight at Ji Fengyan. Her appearance was unexpected, but it was still a pleasant surprise.

Ji Fengyan was lost for words when Xing Lou looked at her with such attentive eyes. Had the grand tutor been born with this pair of loving eyes?

Why was it that whenever he looked at someone, it was as if he wanted to capture their spirits as well?
