After Li Ruoxuan made that statement, Qi Qingyao fell quiet. She only looked at him quietly, her gaze almost compassionate. Li Ruoxuan found that to be extremely unbearable.

He thought, ‘You’re just an ordinary person without even the qualifications to cultivate.

‘Why is your gaze so condescending!!

‘Why do you look at me so pitifully from above, as if you feel sorry for me?

‘I am the dignified State Preceptor. My nobility far outstrips yours!

‘You stupid woman!’

The two locked their gazes for a bit. Li Ruoxuan felt his heart become inexplicably irritated.

Then, he suddenly spat, “You’re just a useful chess piece!”

With that, he opened the door on his own accord and left the side hall.

Outside, in front of the flowerbed not far away, Si Jin and Lu Yan turned their heads around quickly. With an extremely nervous gaze and looking a little flustered, Steward Zhang watched the State Preceptor walk out. Dong Jing’s brows furrowed as he noted the conflicted look in Li Ruoxuan’s eyes. Dong Jing wanted his master to win the lady’s heart, but what can his master do if the State Preceptor was set on pursuing Lady Qi? Dong Jing was worried.

Zhu Shen noticed the State Preceptor had made his exit and immediately walked up to him.

“We’re going back.”

Li Ruoxuan said this shortly and immediately headed for the exit of the Qi Residence.

Zhu Shen was stunned.

“But…what about the chest of gold?”

“Leave it here as an apology for killing Qi Qingzhu.”

Li Ruoxuan’s voice was very loud when he said this as if he deliberately wanted Qi Qingyao to hear it from inside the hall.

After that, he gathered his group and left without delay.

Zhu Shen followed behind his master step by step. He was still a little speechless. ‘Oh Your Excellency, even for an apology, there’s still no need to give her a full chest of gold. Your generosity is a little overboard!’

After Li Ruoxuan left, Si Jin immediately rushed into the side hall. He scrutinized Qi Qingyao and determined that she was uninjured. Finally, his line of sight fell on her lips.

Qi Qingyao’s expression suddenly turned dark when she noticed this. “Nothing happened!!”

At that, Si Jin pursed his lips and withdrew his gaze weakly.

Lu Yan entered while carrying the white cat.

Ascertaining that she was fine, his gaze then fell on the chest of glittering gold. It was dazzling.

“What do you plan to do with this?” Lu Yan asked.

Qi Qingyao said unhurriedly, “Since the State Preceptor said it was his apology, naturally all of it belongs to me!”

“Would you like to keep it in our private bank?” Lu Yan asked with a smile.

“No.” Qi Qingyao shook her head. Thinking about her current identity, she asked conversationally, “Master Lu spent five million on a Pill of Omnipotence for me. I am, of course, grateful. I wonder if the gold in this chest is worth five million taels of silver.”

“More or less.” The way she addressed him was so distant—the hell was ‘Master Lu’?!!’

Qi Qingyao waved her hand and said, “Then I’ll give this to you.”

“??” Lu Yan’s eyes narrowed suddenly. Qi Qingyao explained earnestly, “That’s because I don’t want to continue being a maid.”

She might have to accompany him to bed if things went on like this!

Even if nothing would happen from that…

That feeling was too weird!

Most importantly…

The Pill of Omnipotence cost Lu Yan a full five million taels. Although they had agreed that the price she had to pay was by being his maid for a month, Qi Qingyao still felt that it was not worth five million taels. If she gave him this chest of gold now, then she would not feel that she owed him.

Lu Yan heard her declaration and was silent for a long time.. He called Dong Jing and instructed him to carry down the chest of gold.
