Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Chapter 323: Who’s The Person You Can’t Offend The Most

Many people would feel the chill creeping up their spines if he directed this look at them.

However, Zhuge Yan’s expression remained unchanged, smiling politely at him instead. “Mr. Jiang.”

Gu Xiqiaio had been thinking of the things that she would need to talk to Zhuge Yan, and hadn’t noticed that Jiang Shuxuan had arrived. Hearing his words only did she notice that the man was indeed here. She turned to look at him. “Brother Jiang?” Had he already resolved the matters in the ancient martial arts world?

“Hello.” Jiang Shuxuan nodded towards Zhuge Yan, but you could tell from his tone that he wasn’t very happy.

Zhuge Yan didn’t take it to heart, and only continued smiling. He turned his gaze towards Gu Xiqiao. “We’ll talk next time then.”

Gu Xiqiao rubbed her temples, nodding. “Yeah, I’ll see you.” She’d have to find another chance to talk to him about the ‘calamity’ and ‘turning point’.

She waved at him, then walked to Jiang Shuxuan’s side. She flashed him a smile and her snow-white face seemingly glowing when she looked at him.

Jiang Shuxuan’s expression didn’t change much, but he nodded lightly at Zhuge Yan, then led her away without another word, his eyes still dark and cold.

Zhuge Yan watched the two leave, before the smile slid off his face, eventually letting out a sigh.

“Wei Xi, is everything packed?” He suddenly asked.

Wei Xi jumped out from behind the door. “Yes, everything is packed, Young Master. But why did you want to suddenly want to go to the ancient martial arts world?”

“The second elder invited me.” Zhuge Yan squeezed the cup in his hand. “I predicted that a calamiity would befall Jiang Shuxuan. If he should one day fall, wouldn’t my chance come then?” Since it was about a fickle thing like fate, who knows?

Chance? What chance? Wei Xi blinked, once again feeling like she couldn’t keep up with what Zhuge Yan was thinking.

“Go and let Chenyan know, get him to bring his luggage and come with us.” Zhuge Yan turned to walk into the villa, suddenly recalling this matter.

Although she didn’t understand why Zhuge Yan was going to bring Wei Chenyan with him, Wei Xi proceeded to carry out his instructions.

“What’s with your expression, Brother Jiang?” Gu Xiqiao poked Jiang Shuxuan’s arm.

Jiang Shuxuan’s face was still dark. “Are you close to that person just now?” And she even played chess with him! And helped him with growing flowers! Flowers! Jiang Shuxuan felt like he had a repeater in his heart, repeating all the words that he thought of.

“Not really.” Gu Xiqiao shook her head, smiling at him.

Jiang Shuxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but still took Gu Xiqiao’s hands, squeezing it tightly.

“Yi Bing, what were the main points that the elders were talking about just now?” Gu Xiqiao turned her gaze to Yi Bing, who was following behind Jiang Shuxuan.

Yi Bing told her everything that happened, word for word, without leaving out anything. He also handed her a bunch of documents. “These are the things that need to be dealt with.”

These were papers that Yi Tong had asked him to hand to Gu Xiqiao, and though Yi Tong didn’t look overly reliable usually, he was really responsible when it came to the bigger matters.

Although Yi Bing didn’t really understand Yi Tong’s meanings, he still brought it over as requested.

“Feng Jiu?” Gu Xiqiao flipped through the papers that she received, narrowing her eyes. She muttered the name again under her breath, and filed the name away for later. “Yi Bing, for the matter in Fairy Lake, go and find the military in this state and they’ll tell you how to settle it… amongst other things.”

Gu Xiqiao pulled out a piece of paper and pen from her pocket, writing all the things that needed to be settled, and gave it to Yi Bing. “Once the things are done, we’ll head back to the ancient martial arts world today.”

Yi Bing took the piece of paper. His eyes widened in surprise and thought that these were things that obviously needed to be settled before they left. It was a list of things to settle the aftermath of Mingzhou, and every method listed down was detailed and concise. It would not have been much different than what Jiang Shuxuan would have instructed them to do.

He had initially thought that they would have to stay in Mingzhou for a few more days, but he didn’t think they’d be able to leave today.
