When Yu Qingwu stepped into the hall, Xiao Rongqi was making tea.
The fragrance of tea filled the room, and Xiao Rongqi still looked like a fairy with outstanding grace, but also cool and cold, as if he didn't like the fireworks of the world, and he didn't touch the fame and fortune fair at all.
If she hadn't known what her master had done secretly, perhaps up to this moment, Qingwu would still have firmly believed that her master, Xiao Rongqi, was a true patriot and a man who didn't care about fame and fortune.
Even on the way to Shu, she had suspected that maybe Xie Jinyan was slandering her master.
However, until he saw Yan Qingqing's fate, and saw that the master did not hesitate to instigate elders like Zhai Ying to fight with Xiao Yucheng in order to protect Xiao Fengyun, he did not hesitate to ruin the names of those elders.
At this moment, there was a crack in the image of Master in her heart.
"Disciple has met the master." Yu Qingwu stepped forward slowly, with the same dignified posture as always, and respectfully saluted Xiao Rongqi.
In the past, she really respected him.
But now, it is just a pretentious courtesy.
In contrast, Xie Jinyan is not much different from the past.
He also bowed his hands and saluted the person above him, but with a dandy attitude, he glanced at the tea bowl in front of Xiao Rongqi, and said with a joking, but slightly sarcastic tone, "Master, our school is in chaos now.
That’s it, you still have this leisurely mood.”
Hearing this, Xiao Rongqi smiled, still showing the emotionless posture of a heavenly being, and pointed to the seats on the side, as if he did not hear Xie Jinyan's words, and only said warmly, "Sit down, let's try this pot of Longjing as my master first."
After speaking, he motioned to the two of them to take away the tea bowl filled with hot tea.
If it were in the past, Xie Jinyan would definitely have to deal with him.
Thinking that there is some master-disciple relationship after all, it doesn't have to be too ugly.
But now, for the sake of Xiao Clan's reputation, Master has protected Xiao Fengyun like this, so there is no point in going around.
Therefore, Xie Jinyan did not drink the bowl of tea.
He only pulled Yu Qingwu and sat down to the side very loosely. Then he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Rongqi, opened the skylight and spoke openly, asking him, "Master, you must have already made up your mind to ask me and A Wu to come over now."
What do you want?"
"I have already made it clear to her why A Wu came to my house, so there is no need for you to act like this anymore."
"I just want to ask you, what do I need to give you in exchange for Junior Sister Yan's freedom?"
By the end of Xie Jinyan's words, his tone had become colder, and his self-title had changed from 'I' just now to 'Gu'.
Yu Qingwu knew that he was talking to his master as the prince, not as a disciple.
Looking at the master sitting in the seat, a trace of anger flashed across his usually calm face, as if he was a little angry because of Xie Jinyan's disrespect towards him.
In other words, Xie Jinyan was so disrespectful in front of Yu Qingwu and exposed him in such a way that he lost face.
However, in the end, Xiao Rongqi suppressed his displeasure and glanced briefly at Yu Qingwu, who was sitting next to Xie Jinyan, and then looked at Xie Jinyan. It was unclear whether he was satisfied or angry in his eyes. He smiled lightly and said, "Jinyan,
I haven’t seen you for more than half a year, but you have impressed me even more."
"It's not your style to negotiate terms with your teacher for a woman you don't know well."
The implication is that Yu Qingwu was listening to him.
However, if she can keep her ears open, shouldn't Master be happy?
Why do you still have such an attitude that is neither yin nor yang...
In fact, when she first came back, Yu Qingwu felt that Master Xiao Rongqi's attitude towards her was not as good as before. She thought it was her illusion for a while, but at this moment, she was almost sure.
Master... is indeed dissatisfied with himself.
Is it because she humiliated Xiao Fengyun in the Prince's Mansion?
Or is it because of something else?
But no matter what the reason was, she had no time to worry about it now.
The most important thing now is to take Junior Sister Yan away.
Yu Qingwu picked up the tea and took a sip. He looked at Xiao Rongqi indifferently. Before Xie Jinyan could answer, he smiled and asked for him, "Master, by speaking like this, are you accusing your disciple of giving His Highness the wind?"
The clear and bright voice was the same as in the past, but the tone in his tone no longer had the respect of the past, but was more sarcastic and mocking.
Xiao Rongqi, who was sitting in the seat, couldn't help but be startled by Yu Qingwu's eccentric reaction.
There was a flash of disbelief in his eyes, and there was a hint of sullenness, and there seemed to be a bit of hatred.
This attitude is completely opposite to the last time she left the school.
In other words, her master had always been kind to her. Even though he might have been pretending, Yu Qingwu could still feel that he was sincere.
But now...
The master's eyes were filled with anger, hatred, and forbearance.
Yu Qingwu was even more puzzled, and she didn't think much about it. Seeing that her master Xiao Rongqi didn't speak, she smiled and changed the subject, as if she was negotiating with the Crown Princess because she was the princess.
He went back and asked Xiao Rongqi, "Okay, master, I'm just joking with you."
"Let's not talk about these useless things and let's get down to business. How do you want to let Qing Qing go?"
Hearing this, Xiao Rongqi still said nothing and only looked at her with an unhappy expression.
Yu Qingwu didn't care about his gaze anymore. Ever since she knew that he raised them disciples as other people's concubines, maybe her attitude towards him had changed.
However, for a while, her master could not accept that the most obedient and docile disciple in the past would treat him like this now.
Probably, at this time, he also regretted that he was the one sent out, instead of some junior sister who obeyed his words.
So, she spoke again and said with a smile, "Master, if you want fame and fortune, stop pretending. There are no good things in this world that can be obtained without losing face."
Do you want both face and face?
Is she telling herself that if she wants fame and fortune, she must lower her profile?
Haha, he is really his good disciple.
When he was not married, how could he not know that his disciple was so sharp-tongued and so ungrateful?
But she had such an attitude even if she was asked to be a concubine, not to mention that she was now a princess, what else could she be dissatisfied with? If he hadn't brought her back from Qingzhou that day, she would have turned into bones long ago
.
Now she is still pretending to be a princess. If An Zhi didn't have him as her master, how could she ascend to that high position?
That position was originally reserved for Yu Mo.
Now, this white-eyed wolf has been snatched away...
The most important thing is that his good disciple is not obedient, and it seems impossible to ask her to help him with things.
Therefore, the most important thing right now is to recruit new people and recruit him from the Xiao family's bloodline.
"Ah Wu, it seems that you have grown a lot in the past six months, and you dare to talk to my teacher like this." Xiao Rongqi's mouth froze slightly, suppressing the anger in his belly, and smiled at Yu Qingwu, "That's it, Ah Wu,
I plan to let my niece from the clan enter the prince's residence to support you."
