“My master is a learned man. I’ve learned not only martial arts but also the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting from him,” Tong Sanlang said after a moment’s thought.
Even if the conversation wasn’t going smoothly, he had to keep trying.
Qiao Xiaomai look at his handsome face and rebutted, “So, are you revealing your secrets or introducing yourself?”
The cool breeze blew, lifting the corner of his robe.
Touching his nose, he calmly said, “Consider it an introduction, I hope you can get to know me better.”
“So, you’re saying we’re exchanging secrets, but you’re actually using these trivial matters to fool me?” Qiao Xiaomai questioned without reserve.
Tong Sanlang sighed inwardly upon hearing this. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelꜰire.net
When he suddenly appeared before and exposed Qiao Xiaomai’s great strength, she was startled and behaved very obediently.
But now that she had given a proper explanation, her courage returned.
Just look, her sharp questions were like daggers, aimed directly at him.
He knew that the only way to deal with Qiao Xiaomai was with sincerity. He had no other choice.
Without something substantial, her impression of him would only worsen.
“Well… do you know the Tingfeng Pavilion?” he asked.
Qiao Xiaomai raised her delicate eyebrows, “What is that?”
“An organization dedicated to gathering information.” It was established by his family decades ago.
On the surface, they traded information for profit.
In reality, they controlled information from all aspects of Daqi, allowing them to operate more conveniently.
However, the Tingfeng Pavilion was very mysterious and publicly had no connection to his family or Yu Ang, so he dared to mention this identity now.
He truly wanted to be honest with Qiao Xiaomai.
However, Qiao Xiaomai didn’t catch the sincerity in his voice. His honesty was met with a question from Qiao Xiaomai, “And then?”
“I am the young master of Tingfeng Pavilion.”
It sounded impressive.
This Tong Sanlang, indeed, had big secrets!
But, this secret was far removed from her simple life.
Whether Tong Sanlang was a young master or not had nothing to do with her…
So, after being stunned, her reply was, “Oh.”
Alright, Qiao Xiaomai had no reaction to this at all.
His identity, once revealed, seemed to mean nothing.
“What about you, miss? Do you have any secrets you can tell me?” He asked persistently.
“My family owns more than 300 acres of farmland and is the largest landowner in Anping Village. In the future, I may become the wealthiest person in Anping Village,” said Qiao Xiaomai.
A faint smile appeared on his handsome face, “Miss Qiao, didn’t everyone know this yesterday?”
“Is it? But my father didn’t specify how much land we have. Now I’m telling you the exact figure, it can be considered a secret, right?” Qiao Xiaomai justified herself.
“No, Uncle Changshun mentioned this number in order to deal with your grandmother when you went to invite my grandfather.”
“I see…” Qiao Xiaomai showed a look of realization.
Seeing this, Tong Sanlang felt both amused and helpless, “Miss Qiao, I genuinely want to face you with sincerity. Can you give me a chance?”
In response to Tong Sanlang’s words, Qiao Xiaomai’s large peach blossom eyes scanned him up and down, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Alright.”
Seeing a glint of light flash in Tong Sanlang’s eyes, she raised her eyebrows questioningly, “Tell me, why you and your grandfather are suddenly so helpful to me?”
