Jiang Qi has been quite bothered by his grandfather lately, but heās looked for Qin Ke numerous times, only to be told that the elders are in seclusion and to wait until they come out.
He has no choice.
But his grandfather canāt hold back and is quite impatient.
Constantly urging him on.
"Whether heās anxious or not is none of my concern, but Iām not in a hurry right now."
Chen Xuan took a sip of tea, saying with a smile.
Even though there are still dozens of words in the Ancient Book that havenāt been deciphered, isnāt there Gu Pengyou now? The Ancient Book has been given to her to study slowly.
If it really doesnāt work... weāll talk about it then.
"Oh right, when it comes time for the Eastern Domain Three Judicial Departments, let Wang Man take the lead, heās very obedient."
Nearly forgot about this.
"Yeah, itās just a small matter."
Nowadays, Zongzheng has handed over almost all the affairs of the Three Judicial Departments to him, keeping him so busy that he has no time for cultivation.
...
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.
Every day Qin Ke was as busy as a dog, not only handling the daily affairs of the Three Judicial Departments but also trying to win over those in white.
As for Chen Xuan, he was quite relaxed.
Training during the day and doing things at night.
And now Qin Ying had also moved into the mansion, earning some interest from time to time.
The two of them have tried everything except crossing the final line.
Moreover, under Chen Xuanās tutelage... Qin Ying had learned a lot by now.
Qin Ying furrowed her delicate brows slightly, "It smells horrible!"
"Comfortable!"
Still lying there with his eyes closed, he was feeling quite proud.
Even though Qin Yingās skills couldnāt compare to theirs, her status as the Princess of Great Yu made up for it.
This kind of feeling... was really different.
Especially when being served, it gave him a sense of commanding the world.
"Alright!"
Qin Ying slapped his hand.
"Hehe!"
Chen Xuan continued lying down, slowly opening his eyes and pinching her thin lips, "Thereās still room for improvement, keep working on it."
"Slap!"
Qin Ying fiercely slapped away his hand, glaring at him, "Youāre getting more and more presumptuous."
"Presumptuous?"
Chen Xuan curled his lips, "Tomorrow you go ask XināEr and the others what being presumptuous really means!"
"Hmph! Get lost quickly!"
Qin Ying turned her head away, not wanting to look at him anymore.
"Slap!"
Chen Xuan gave her a smack on her shapely bottom, "Daring, to be so rude, Iāll let it go this time, but next time, Iāll double it for you!"
Upon hearing ādoubleā, Qin Ying instantly backed down.
"Quickly go to Little Sister MengāEr, itās already so late."
She couldnāt afford to back out because Chen Xuan could freely control time, and she was already overwhelmed.
"Hehe!"
Chen Xuan was very pleased with her attitude, then got off the bed and kissed her forehead, "You rest too, Iām leaving!"
"Hmm!"
Qin Ying smiled as she watched him leave the room.
At the moment the door closed, she felt a slight emptiness in her heart.
"Sigh!"
Let out a gentle sigh.
...
The next day!
In the study, Qin Ke recounted the events of the past period to Chen Xuan briefly.
"The news from Great Yu is that we have to wait a bit longer?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"Yes, thatās what Zongzheng said, that we have to wait for the new king of rMolan Mansion."
Qin Ke looked disheartened, but there was nothing else Zongzheng and the others could do about it.
"Alright, stop looking so gloomy, letās see what fortune has in store."
Since thatās what they said, thereās nothing that can be done, just have to wait patiently.
"Understood, Master."
Qin Ke seemed a bit down, after all, he had spent quite a lot trying to win over those in white.
Originally, he thought everything was certain, but didnāt expect it to hit a snag.
Canāt blame him for this.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Is it convenient to come in?"
