Since Lady Murong was here, Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao naturally could not stay any longer. However, the two of them did not leave. Mo Xiuyao casually picked up the teacups that the two of them had just drunk from and pulled Ye Li through a secret door. Xu Qingchen naturally had his reasons for choosing this inn to stay in. This was originally the Prince Ding Mansion's secret base in An City. As the fourth largest city in the Western Tomb, the Prince Ding Mansion naturally would not ignore this. Behind the secret door was a small secret room. The inside was not as well-furnished as the outside. There was only a table, a few stools, and a bamboo couch. The two of them had just sat down when Lady Murong's voice and Xu Qingchen's voice came from outside the door.
Xu Qingchen lowered his head to look at the finely dressed woman standing in front of him. He smiled faintly and said, "Lady Murong, how may I help you?" Lady Murong's beautiful eyes, which were exposed outside the veil, stared blankly at Xu Qingchen. However, she saw that the man standing at the door with an elegant and refined smile had no intention of inviting her in. She could not help but bite the corner of her lips and asked, "Sir Qingchen, are you not going to invite me in?"
Xu Qingchen smiled faintly and said, "It's getting late. Lady Murong, for you to come here at this time … I'm afraid that it will damage your reputation. Lady, please go back. "After saying this, Xu Qingchen took a step back. It was obvious that he intended to close the door again. Lady Murong panicked and reached out to pull on Xu Qingchen's sleeve. "Sir Qingchen …" Xu Qingchen looked at her in surprise. He did not think that Lady Murong was also a martial artist. Although Xu Qingchen himself did not know martial arts, there was no lack of experts among the people he knew. Therefore, with Xu Qingchen's insight, he could naturally judge that Lady Murong's strength was above average. Among women, she was not bad.
"Lady Murong, why are you doing this?" Xu Qingchen pulled back his sleeve and asked calmly with lowered eyes.
"Sir Qingchen … I … Ming Yan has something to discuss with you alone. Please forgive me." Lady Murong looked up at Xu Qingchen and said earnestly.
Xu Qingchen muttered to himself for a moment. In the end, he took a step back and let her in. The Murong Clan Lady heaved a sigh of relief at Xu Qingchen's compromise. She stepped into Xu Qingchen's room.
Xu Qingchen's room was very quiet and elegant. It was very different from the elegant and luxurious Murong Family. Lady Murong turned around to look at Xu Qingchen, who was dressed in white and elegant. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
She was originally very confident in herself. She was the most beautiful girl in An City and the only successor of the Murong family. Therefore, she could use the most beautiful jewelry, the most luxurious clothes, and the most exquisite and delicious food. But when she saw the man in front of her, she suddenly felt ashamed of her gorgeous clothes. It was as if the jewelry and brocade clothes that people envied had become vulgar in an instant.
She even began to regret listening to the maid's idea of dressing up so grandly to meet Young Master Qingchen. Would he despise her for being vulgar? Yes, the Xu family had been a scholarly family for generations. Naturally, they liked elegant and quiet things. Thinking of this, Miss Murong wished she could immediately go back and teach the girl who gave her the idea a lesson a lesson.
"Miss Murong, please have a seat. Please have some tea." Xu Qingchen sat down and poured a cup of tea for her.
Miss Murong thanked him and took a sip of the tea. But she couldn't help but frown. Ever since she was young, she had always used the best and the most exquisite things. Even the princess of the Imperial Family might not be as precious as her. The tea that Xu Qingchen poured for her wasn't of the best quality. Even the tea wasn't freshly brewed. If someone else had given her such tea, she definitely wouldn't drink it. However, when she saw Xu Qingchen sipping her tea without any change in her expression, it was obvious that she didn't feel anything wrong at all. She could only silently endure it.
Seeing the woman's frown and forbearance, Xu Qingchen's eyes flashed with a cold smile. Of course, he knew what she was enduring and why she was enduring it. Tasting tea was naturally a matter of elegance, and the Xu family had always been better at it than any other family. Naturally, Xu Qingchen knew that the tea in this inn wasn't of the best quality. But even though Xu Qingchen was a romantic and elegant scholar, he couldn't do anything about it. When he was extremely busy with work, it was already good enough to have a sip of tea. Who would pay attention to the quality of the tea leaves, the quality of the water used to brew the tea, and whether the temperature was just right?
"Miss Murong, what do you have to say?" Xu Qingchen asked bluntly.
Miss Murong had clearly never met a man who was so rude to her. It wasn't that Xu Qingchen was rude to her. In fact, Xu Qingchen was more humble and polite than most men she had met. But his every word and action made it clear that he didn't care about her.
Miss Murong bit her lip, feeling wronged. She raised her hand and removed the veil that had been covering her face, revealing a beautiful face. However, this time, Miss Murong was disappointed. Xu Qingchen's eyes didn't waver at all when he looked at her. It was as if it had nothing to do with him whether the woman in front of him had a veil over her face or whether she was beautiful and beautiful. Miss Murong stared at Xu Qingchen for a long time. When she was finally sure that he didn't care about her appearance, she lowered her eyes to hide her vexation and frustration. "My name is Murong Mingyan. Greetings, Sir Qingchen."
The room was silent but Murong Mingyan was secretly gloomy. She had only noticed Sir Qingchen's gentle and refined appearance but had forgotten that he had dared to slap her granduncle and the Murong family in the face. How could he be an easy person to talk to? After waiting for a long time for Xu Qingchen to speak, Murong Mingyan stared at the cold-hearted man in front of her with grief. She gritted her teeth and said, "Sir Qingchen … Are you willing to marry into the Murong family?"
When these words came out, not to mention the Shadow Guard who was secretly protecting Xu Qingchen, even Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li who were in the secret room couldn't help but change their expressions. Ye Li's charming face sank and said coldly, "This Murong Mingyan has guts!" Mo Xiuyao nodded in agreement. "Indeed, she has guts!" The Murong family dared to steal his woman. Did they not want to live anymore?
Xu Qingchen who was outside was as calm as ever. He said indifferently, "Miss Murong, what do you mean?"
A bitter smile appeared on Murong Mingyan's beautiful face. She stared blankly at Xu Qingchen and said, "Sir Qingchen, you must have heard my grandfather's words. They will choose one of the Top Ten Experts to be my son-in-law."
Xu Qingchen lowered his eyes and said, "I don't know martial arts. Not to mention the Top Ten Experts, I can't even defeat a third-rate expert. I'm afraid Miss Murong has found the wrong person. "Murong Mingyan shook her head and said," No, Sir Qingchen is different. Sir Qingchen is famous throughout the world and has outstanding wisdom. If Sir Qingchen is willing to marry into the Murong family, even if my grandfather is the world's number one expert, he will give him up. "
Looking at Xu Qingchen's indifferent expression, Murong Mingyan said hesitantly, "Sir … You're not willing?"
"I'm not worthy of Miss Murong." Xu Qingchen said modestly. In reality, he was rejecting Murong Mingyan's suggestion.
Murong Mingyan's expression changed slightly, "Why? As long as you marry me, the entire Murong family will be yours. Isn't having the entire Murong family a thousand times better than Sir Qingchen working for Prince Ding in Glass City? Or … Or am I not beautiful enough and not worthy of Sir Qingchen? "
