âItâs me!â A young man drifted down in front of Murong Xue and replied in a high-spirited tone. He was wearing an elegant ebony colored long robe, the sleeves of which were embellished with a floral pattern. His chest muscles were exposed a little as the sleeve slightly opened.
He was smiling amorously, and his perfect facial features made people go wild. His dark hair was combed to the back, making him truly mysterious and sexy. He was scrutinizing Murong Xue, and it was obvious that he was gallanting her!
âWho are you?â Murong Xue scowled. He seemed to be very close with her as he spoke, but she could not remember him in her memories.
âI forgot to introduce myself. Iâm the prince from Cheng Guo Gong, Mu Liu Feng. You can call me Liu Feng or Feng!â Mu Liu Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled as he looked at her, his tone ambiguous. Murong Xue knitted her brows, âPrince Mu, I think we are not that close!â
Mu Liu Feng snapped closed his folding fan and looked at her in disagreement, âOur families are old family friends. Furthermore, my father and your father were best friends. Both of us can be considered childhood sweethearts, how can we be not close?â
âBang!â Ouyang ShaoChen waved his hand and smashed Mu Liu Feng into the wall. He stood in front of Murong Xue and stared at him coldly, âMu Liu Feng, youâre talking nonsense today!â
Mu Liu Feng turned around and rubbed of the blood from his nose with his handkerchief, as he said in a careless manner, âThis is the first time Iâve met Murong Xue officially. Iâm just a bit excited!â
Ouyang ShaoChenâs face darkened, âYeah, you even talked about being childhood sweethearts with herâŠâ
âTake it easy, even though we are childhood sweethearts, I will not steal her away from youâŠâ Mu Liu Feng said in a low voice as he patted Ouyang ShaoChenâs shoulder to comfort him.
Ouyang ShaoChen frowned a little. He gave Mu Liu Feng a cold shoulder by beating away his hand, âWhy did you come here and not stay in the house of Chen Guo Gong?â
âThatâs obvious: I am here to see your little wife, and tell you an important issue as well!â Mu Liu Feng said in a mysterious tone. He went to look for Ouyang ShaoChen in the house of Xiao Yao Wang, but since Ouyang ShaoChen came to the house of Zhen Guo Houhe followed him here.
Ouyang ShaoChen took a look at him, âSo youâve seen her. Now letâs discuss on the important issue.â
âItâs about Prince Jing, Ye Yichen.â Mu Liu Feng lowered his voice, stealing a look at Murong Xue.
Murong Xue knew she should not be there during the discussion, so she said sensibly, âYou guys have a chat, Iâll ask the servants to get us some tea!â
Ouyang ShaoChen grabbed her hand as she was about to leave, and he looked at Mu Liu Feng briefly, âXue Er is not an outsider, just go ahead and speak what is on your mind.â
âThe spies in the house of Chen Guo Gong have found out that Ye Yichen has been mys very mysterious recently. Heâs looking for the treasure left by the royal ancestors.â Mu Liu Feng said seriously in a low voice.
âTreasure left by the royal ancestors?â A thought flashed across the mind of Murong Xue, it was so fast that she could not catch it in time. âPrince Jing has such a noble status. Heâs filthy rich and living a luxurious life for generations. Why does he need to spend great effort to look for treasure?â
âNo one will be contented with the money he has!â Mu Liu Feng said arrogantly, his eyes shining brightly. Ye Yichen is an overweeningly ambitious man. He is expanding his power silently and he seems to be unsatisfied with only being Prince Jing of Qing Yan.
Murong Xue blinked her eyes, âAccording to history, the previous Emperor was dissolute and debauched. He spent lavishly and made the country poor which resulted in the sufferings of the citizens. He was such a prodigal Emperor, how could there be any treasure?â
âThatâs something you donât know. Someone who could squander that much would definitely be in love with searching for gold, silver and jewelry. He will keep them in his vault quietly without being noticed. As a result, there must be a trove of priceless treasures!â
Mu Liu Feng continued his words, âYe Yichen is a smart man, and he will not simply believe in rumors and do something meaningless. Since he sent his men to look for the treasure, it provens that the treasure truly existsâŠâ
âYou guys really have courage to block my way, get aside nowâŠâ
âIâm sorry, but thereâs order from Ms. Murong. Without her permission, no one can enter her front yardâŠâ
âAll of you⊠I have something urgent that I need to see Prince Ouyang about right now. If anything goes wrong, are you going to bear the responsibility?â
The intense argument can be heard from inside. Murong Xue was speechless as she looked at the sky. The admirers of Ouyang ShaoChen came to her Luo Xue Ge to look for him, that was really too much.
She raised her brows as she stared at Ouyang ShaoChen, âPrince Ouyang, arenât you supposed to go out and meet her?â
Ouyang ShaoChen said without any emotion, âIâm not free to see her, you go and bundle her off.â
Murong Xueâs face had grown murky, âShe came here purposely for you, why am I the one to bundle her off?â
Ouyang ShaoChen took a look at her and said naturally, âThis is your Luo Xue Ge. I am the guest here and youâre the host. I am being disturbed by other people at your place. Donât you think you have the responsibility to solve the problem for me?â
This evil-hearted guy dared to ask for favors in such a logical way. That was abominable! If he wasnât the guest of her house, she would certainly ignore him. If there is a next time, she will teach him a lesson for sureâŠ
She glared at Ouyang ShaoChen as she walked out from the room unwillingly.
Staring at Murong Xueâs back, Mu Liu Feng showed his respect to Ouyang ShaoChen, âPrince Ouyang, I have to salute you. Both of you have not married yet and sheâs beginning to chase other girls away from you. Youâre truly capableâŠâ
âTo be honest, the position you hold, the good-looks you own, and youâre such a brilliant man with extensive knowledge⊠these attributes will attract girls to you. If Murong Xue was to marry you, she would have to continue to chasing girls away from you. Itâs good for her to practice earlier on.â
Ouyang ShaoChenâs face had grown gloomy, âDo you think I am a flirty man?â
âYouâre not flirty, but those girls like to stick themselves to you!â Mu Liu Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled, âJust like the one waiting for you outside Luo Xue Ge, she suddenly came here just for youâŠâ
âErm?â Ouyang ShaoChen looked straight at Mu Liu Feng, his gaze like an arrow shooting right towards Mu Liu Feng.
Mu Liu Feng was frightened. He could feel the chill flowing in his heart and he shivered a little. He coughed to camouflage his uneasiness, âI thinkâŠitâs better for us to continue on our discussion about Ye Yichen and the treasureâŠâ
Ouyang ShaoChen answered him briefly and glanced at Murong Xue. She was walking out from Luo Xue Ge and raising her brow as she looked at the person waiting out thereâŠ
