Just after the war ends, he will definitely bring his brother back home!
"..."
’I wonder what happened in such a short time, look at how he is glaring at me, I would’ve been dead by now if he was able to kill people with glare.’
’Why does he look on the same term as Yun Si? I don’t think they had such a good relationship? What are they planning?’
Yun Shu wasn’t stupid not to notice Zhu Zhengting’s feral instinct and anger directed towards her. But she didn’t pry into this matter much, it wouldn’t take long for the water to fall out of the pore even if she didn’t poke it.
"So what is it that you want to discuss?" Yun Shu leaned back on her seat as she asked lazily.
"That..." Bai Yunxian hesitated as he looked at Yun Si, thinking whether he should say this in front of him or not.
Anyway, Zhu Zhengting’s overbearing image was now broken in front of Yun Shu, she already knew this guy was nothing but a fussy little cat that got picked up by chance.
And she didn’t need to get a look out for him either.
Even a little while ago, when they were having an conversation, Yun Shu told her subordinates not to meddle in and let them do whatever they wants.
Just as Bai Yunxian was about to start, a knock on the door interrupted in the right moment.
"My Lord. There is an urgent news arrived."
"Come in."
The messenger came in quickly, whispering something into Yun Shu’s ear. In the moment, she stood up as she looked at Bai Yunxian, suddenly leaning close to him as she pecked a kiss on his forehead out of nowhere which made Bai Yunxian surprised, as well as getting Zhu Zhengting worked up as he sat down straight on his back, feeling cringe all over and getting goosebumps.
"It seems something urgent has come up, I’ll have to leave quickly."
"Wait! Where do you think you are going, listen to me! Don’t you dare take a step out of that door.... .ahhh!"
By the time Zhu Zhengting threatened Yun Shu, she was already gone without waiting to hear his rumblings.
"T-that...! Damn you little prick!" Zhu Zhengting blushed in shame as he slammed his hands on the table, aside from this guy no one else dared to defy him like this before!
The three people were left in awkward positions, thinking by their own choices, while Yun Si decided to follow Yun Shu shortly after, and went out.
"Anyway, it seems like it was not the best time to tell him about our plan, don’t get too discouraged." Zhu Zhengting patted Bai Yunxian’s shoulder as suddenly a plan hit his head.
"And you! Make sure to put up your guard around that sly human! See how he took advantage of you!" Zhu Zhengting was ticked as he continued rumbling, not paying attention to Bai Yunxian’s reactions.
"Anyway, I’ll go take a look at what he is up to. Stay in your room and take your rest, don’t let any random human get near you."
"Alright, I’ll remember it. You can go now."
"Take care."
With that, Zhu Zhengting also exited the room, thinking that Bai Yunxian can go back to his room by himself.
Little did he know what awaited Bai Yunxian next up, he would’ve never dared to leave him alone.

Yun Shu sat on the sofa as she looked towards the lotus pond, her mind lost in thoughts when her eyes were following the golden and silver fishes on the water surface.
No one would be able to guess what she was thinking, but the peaceful silence was soon broken with the sound of anklets coming towards her direction.
"I’m really glad that My Lord finally took my invitation, I’m honored." Xia Ruoling’s face bloomed like flowers as she smiled at Yun Shu.
"I’m glad to meet the Lady as well."
Obviously, it’s because she took her for an easy catch. Shah Jumman wouldn’t be able to play it right with a cunning woman like her.
But his aura and looks, grace and power, status everything just fits to Xia Ruoling’s taste, how could she miss such a man?
It was a great opportunity to suck out his life force and use it to raise her cultivation, wouldn’t it be very tasty?
She can’t wait to take a long time more than this!
Xia Ruoling didn’t look like a Revered Lady in her 40’s, rather she looked beautiful as a young flower, full of grace, loveliness and seductiveness.
There is no way a blind man exists in this world who wouldn’t be astonished by her youthful energy and get seduced!
"As you can see, I was so ill that I couldn’t get off of my bed, and that’s how I wasn’t able to receive such a precious guest as My Lord! I’m truly ashamed..." Xia Ruoling pretended to be a pitiful flower as she cried crocodile tears, trying to gain sympathy and tear up the young man’s heart.
However, the expression on Yun Shu’s face turned into that of a sarcastic smile as she said, "Oh? Were you really that ill, Lady? I didn’t know it, how does a person who was so ill look like such a young and energetic person? What medicine did you take?"
"W-what?" Xia Ruoling was taken aback by the sarcastic tone and remarks coming from Yun Shu as she snapped back at her, staring at Yun Shu with big eyes.
"As expected of Lady Shen, you are truly as beautiful as a young flower. What they said wasn’t in vain. I’m glad that you are now recovered well, I would like to celebrate this moment of happiness, what do you think?"
’What is this? Was it just my imagination that he seemed to be... mocking me just now?’
The sly and friendly smile Yun Shu put on her face was familiar, as if Xia Ruoling met her and saw her before.
