It was understandable that Hua Yingnian frowned. After all, the Fire Rock was no longer in his hands, and he felt a little guilty.
Fortunately, there is already a way to unlock the Fire Rock Guardian Formation, which makes people feel much more relieved. However, sending Elder Hua to get the Fire Rock was done secretly by their Hua family. Such a covert action was known to the Jun family. It was obvious that the Jun family had an insider among them.
This is not a good thing.
"To be honest with you, nephew Jun Qing, the head of the family did send people out, but they were not sent to get fire rocks."
"Oh? Then what is the patriarch doing?" He was still calm, not even questioning. If Emperor Shi Tian was expressionless, then Jun Qing was speechless...
Hua Yingnian cleared his throat and put down the teacup in his hand. "Nephew Jun Qing, you don't know that the most difficult thing to get this fire rock is to unlock its protective formation." Knowing that the Jun family had arranged an insider in the Hua family, Hua Yingnian had no choice but to make such an excuse and told them about Miss Shangguan. In this way, he could show his sincerity and avoid any rift between the Jun and Hua families.
"It's a pity that we got nothing and lost an elder for nothing." At this point, Hua Yingnian covered his face with his hands and made a sad expression. Then he changed the subject and told him the whole story of Ling'er coming to see him.
"But two days ago, a young lady came to my door and claimed that she knew how to crack this protective formation. However, the condition for her to tell the secret was..." Before Hua Yingnian could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jun Qing.
"Meet me." As if to continue his words, he said it naturally. "To be precise, to meet someone from the Jun family." After a moment, Jun Qing made another explanation.
Hua Yingnian was surprised, but he should have guessed it. Even the secret of going to find the fire rock was known to the Jun family, so it was no longer a secret. He sighed in his heart: Fortunately, he chose to tell the whole story, otherwise, today would be the day when the Jun and Hua families fell out.
"Yes, nephew Jun Qing is right. I believe nephew Jun Qing should have guessed that the clumsy maid just now was Miss Shangguan."
With her eyelashes fluttering slightly, Jun Qing said again: "Miss Shangguan, please come in."
What!
Ling'er was surprised, Hua Yingnian was surprised.
Ling'er was surprised that she was discovered. Hua Yingnian was surprised that he didn't notice that there was someone outside. This was impossible! Although he couldn't detect the girl's cultivation, judging from her age, it was impossible for her to surpass his.
Now that she was discovered, Ling'er stopped hiding. She appeared in front of Jun Qing in a flash.
"Mr. Jun has good hearing." Concealment is her best skill. It is different from any other martial arts practice on this continent. It can be said to be a school of its own. Unexpectedly, she would be discovered. It was such a blow. However, Jun Qing's next words comforted Ling'er's wounded heart a lot.
"I have mysophobia." This simple sentence left everyone confused, and then Jun Qing stretched out his hand.
Looking in the direction he pointed, I saw a little stain on the corner of Ling'er's clothes.
After knowing the truth, Ling'er's mouth twitched unconsciously.
Well, it turns out that it wasn’t her hiding skills that were problematic, but that she was betrayed by a stain that got on her from somewhere... How rip-off!
"Ahem... Well, I have to say, Master Jun Qing, this is also a magical skill..."
"..." Jun Qing didn't say anything, but Ling'er clearly saw two suspicious blushes on his face.
Uh, that's embarrassing.
Why did a very discordant picture of flirting with a decent man suddenly appear in her mind
It seems that she didn't do anything to him.
Seeing Ling'er suddenly appear, Hua Yingnian's face showed a little anger. He had told the housekeeper to be on guard against this little girl, so why did he let her slip in anyway? Also, when did the Hua family become so easy to enter and leave? Where are those guards, those secret guards? A bunch of rubbish!
Well, actually, it really can’t be blamed on them for not fulfilling their responsibilities. It’s all because Ling’er’s hiding skills are so good. Otherwise, how could he not even notice it
"My dear Shangguan, what was your intention in hiding outside and eavesdropping on the conversation between me and Young Master Jun Qing?" Compared with before, Hua Yingnian's tone at this moment became very serious, and people could clearly feel that he was angry.
"Well, hehe... I didn't mean anything else. It was just the first time I saw a man as gorgeous as Jun Qing Gongzi, so I just looked at him for a while longer. Hehe... That's right, I didn't mean anything else." Well, to be honest, it was quite embarrassing to be caught eavesdropping. Because she didn't expect to be discovered, Ling'er couldn't find any decent excuse for a while, so she could only make up something.
Fortunately, Jun Qing was just as she said, with an upper-class appearance. But compared to Di Shi Tian, there was still a big difference.
"Oh? So, Miss Shangguan has a crush on Jun?" (To be continued)
