Chapter 41: Gentleman Feng Yue

Escorting Ye Ying out, what had to be done was done. Ye Li no longer cared for the complex and unpredictable gazes upon her. In a great mood, she flourished her sleeve and returned to Qing Yi Court.

Just as she entered the study, Ye Li's footstep paused. She turned around and order: "Qing Luan will stay to serve; the rest are dismissed."

Though servants like Qing Shuang found it difficult to understand, they knew that recently Ye Li did not like so many people around. There must've been some matter that she needed Qing Luan for. The servants immediately left. Qing Luan silently waited for her Young Miss's orders.

Ye Li went to the window and stopped. She took in the study around her and her sight fell upon the gauzy curtains separating the room. She lightly questioned: "Not coming out?"

There was no movement within the study, but there were already two short swords within Qing Luan's hands. The weapons gave off a frigid air. A usually mild and harmless gaze was suddenly transformed into something fierce and murderous.

In such short a time, there was still no movement. Unhappy, Ye Li frowned. She produced an object that size of a pigeon egg and threw it at the curtain. A strong white smoke rose and, within a moment, a figure rushed from within the smoke towards Ye Li. But within the vicinity of the window, the ground softened. Suddenly, on his back was the ice-cold feel of metal. Yet, in front of him, the figure of Ye Li had disappeared. Don't know when Ye Li had placed a few meters of distance between them.

"I really did not expect it. Ye Family's Third Young Miss is in such great physical shape. I lose." The man smiled helplessly and reluctantly relaxed his body and fell to the ground.

Ye Li looked as normal as usual, "Compared to you, I am still learning. It is just that the events of last night were quite enlightening. I think some preparations are necessary."

The man's eyebrows pricked up. He acted nonchalant like there was no one holding a sword to his back. Smiling, he looked at Ye Li. "You clearly know that the person last night was me? Could you...because of last night's event, be unable to forget me?"

Although Ye Li did not want to admit it, she had to. The man in front of her was very handsome. Different from Feng Zhi Yao's unrestrained and amorous looks, his brows were a bit more ambiguous and malevolent. If it were a normal maiden, they would either be angry or so embarrassed that they'd cover their rosy red face and ran away. Unfortunately, Ye Li was just not a part of this group of ordinaries.

"I think that you should not be paying attention to me at this time." Ye Li said. "But that thing behind you. I believe that if three-tenths more pressure was added, even if it is not life-threatening, I promise you that in this life you can only waste your days away on a bed." As if to prove her point, the sharp blade was stabbed a bit deeper.

A sharp pain suddenly spread across his body. The man's face immediately changed. The man laughed and said: "Ye Family's Third Young Miss does not intend to kill the witness and get rid of the evidence, right?"

Ye Li shook her head. Her elegant face showed a bright smile, difficult to see, but it made the man on the ground feel a coldness permeate throughout his body. "Kill the witness and get rid of the evidence? This is not something a noble lady would do. That is why I intend to give you to someone else. I heard many people are looking for you. You say, would it be more beneficial to give you to Prince Ding or Prince Li?"

The man had a bitter face and sent a beseeching look at Ye Li. Falling into the hands of Prince Ding? He would definitely be missing a hand or leg. But if he fell into the hands of Prince Li, unless that person was whole and threatening him, he knew that Prince Li would want his life. "Third Young Miss, I am just a person who takes money to help others. Not to mention, it can be considered that I helped you. Can't you be a bit generous and spare this life of mine?"
