He considered for a while and said, “Fine, since you’re being so stingy, how on earth can I make you stop coming for my money?”
Zhao Qian almost coughed blood in his fury. Did he just call him stingy?
Did this fellow know no shame?
Taking another deep breath, Zhao Qian forced a smile. “I just want to know about that day on Sacred Hillock Peak. Did something…”
At this point, he leaned closer and asked in a low voice, “Did something happen between Master and Second Miss Lu?”
Hearing this, Chu Yi stared at him in shock. “I never expect that a castrated person like you would be so dirty-minded.”
Zhao Qian felt like hacking Chu Yi to death.
This idiot!
“Looks like you don’t want your money anymore,” he hissed menacingly.
Chu Yi thought himself to be the one more skilled in martial arts. However, people who no longer had sexual desires were all sinister and cunning, and he was no match for them.
For the sake of his marriage fund, he forced himself to be serious for once.
“Now that you mention it, I think that there was indeed something…”
“What happened? Give me all the details, quick.” Zhao Qian’s eyes lit up, and he pressed hurriedly.
Chu Yi looked at him in disdain. “Aren’t you afraid that you’ll lose your head, inquiring about the Master like this?”
“You should worry about yourself. If you don’t speak, your marriage fund will go missing.” Zhao Qian sneered.
Chu Yi replied quickly, “You don’t have to guess at Master’s feelings. He’s already hugged her of his own accord. More than once, in fact.”
After saying that, he did not forget to add warningly, “Don’t you dare tell anyone else. Otherwise, you’ll have to get castrated a second time.”
Chu Yi darted off swiftly, leaving Zhao Qian standing there in shock.
Master actually hugged Second Miss Lu more than once?
God, what breaking news did he just hear?
His master, who did not lust after women and even hated women approaching him, actually took the initiative to hug her?
After the extreme shock had passed, a look of glee suddenly appeared on Zhao Qian’s face.
It seemed that Master had really taken a liking to Second Miss Lu. Moreover, it was the first time something like this happened in his life.
With that thought in mind, he made his way to the imperial garden briskly.
Should he create an opportunity for the Emperor and Second Miss to be alone?
In the imperial garden, Chu Qi was following his master and Lu Liangwei’s every step.
Suddenly, he sensed a movement in the bushes. Like lightning, he whipped his sword out and swung the sharp blade across them. The next instant, colorful petals filled the air and drifted to the ground. A plump person was squatting in the now-shaven bushes, staring at him with a pale face.
Chu Qi frowned. “Why are you here?”
Zhao Qian got up hurriedly. Seeing that his master had not noticed the situation over here, he quickly pulled Chu Qi under a tree.
“Chu Qi.” Zhao Qian gazed at him solemnly.
Chu Qi looked at him quietly, waiting for him to continue.
Zhao Qian decided to go straight to the point. “Later, you’ll pretend to be an assassin and go assassinate Second Miss Lu, but don’t hurt a single hair on her, understand?”
Chu Qi shook his head. “I don’t understand.”
Zhao Qian wiped his face in exasperation. “This is Master’s plan to capture Second Miss Lu’s heart. You must have heard of the hero saving the damsel in distress, right?”
Chu Qi’s eyes glinted. “Then why don’t you play the assassin?”
Zhao Qian had already come up with an excuse and smiled innocently. “I’m so fat that I’m afraid Second Miss Lu will recognize me with just a glance.”
“But I’m not tall, so she may also recognize me easily,” Chu Qi said coldly.
Zhao Qian’s breath hitched in his throat. Why had he never realized that this little brat had such a way with words?
“For the sake of Master’s happiness, will you do it or not?” Since his soft approach did not work, Zhao Qian decided to be more forceful.
