Chu Qing, who originally thought she could escape unscathed, finally showed a bit of panic when Chu Zhan started to speak.
She lowered her head to calm her emotions. When she looked up again, there was a smile on her face.
"A nobody. Not worth mentioning," Chu Qing said, clasping her fists in salute.
Seeing that Chu Zhan didn't say a word and just watched her with great interest, Chu Qing had no choice but to continue bravely, "Thanks to Young Master Chu for boosting the morale today. I will definitely pay you a visit some other day! Right now, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first!"
After saying that, Chu Qing was about to pull Wei Zhi away.
Just as they reached the door, she suddenly remembered that the young girl was still unconscious. If she wanted to find out the truth, she had to take the girl away.
So, Chu Qing stiffened and took a few steps back. Then she slowly turned around, smiling as she said to Chu Zhan, who was still sitting and watching her, "Um... I'll take this young girl away first?"
Seeing that the other party still didn't respond, Chu Qing gave Wei Zhi a look. Upon receiving it, Wei Zhi immediately stepped forward and picked up the girl in his arms.
Just when Chu Qing thought she could finally leave, the masked man suddenly appeared at the door and stretched out his hand to block them.
From behind came Chu Zhan's unhurried voice:
"Did I say you could leave?"
Chu Qing instantly flew into a rage. So he had been silent just now to make her let down her guard, and now he was blocking her way?
At this moment, Chu Qing didn't realize that the blush on her face from the alcohol still hadn't faded. And it seemed that her body was getting hotter and hotter.
"What do you mean?" Chu Qing said angrily.
"Originally, you didn't want to come in. But after seeing me, you made up your mind to enter this place," Chu Zhan said slowly. Then he lazily propped his head up with his hand and continued,
"After Lan Xing entered your room, you tried every means to get her to say who the regulars here were in the capital. In the end, you just wanted to know if I came here often. Am I right?"
After hearing what Chu Zhan said, Chu Qing finally understood why she had felt so uncomfortable here before.
Since entering the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, her every move had been watched! She had thought she was following Chu Zhan, but in the end, she had been outwitted by him!
Chu Qing only felt a headache coming on, and her face also became a bit hot.
Seeing the other person's eyes looking a bit blurred, Chu Zhan curled his lips and sneered inwardly. The Drunken Immortal Pavilion, the name "Drunken Immortal" wasn't chosen for no reason. The wine in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion could even intoxicate the immortals.
Especially the peach blossom wine.
Although it didn't seem like much when drinking it, the after - effect was extremely strong.
And this little man seemed to have drunk it a bit too quickly. As a result, the alcohol was just starting to kick in.
Moreover, he had added some extra ingredients to it.
Want to follow him? It was just a pipe dream!
Thinking of this, there was a cold glint in Chu Zhan's eyes.
...
Chu Qing finally gradually felt that her consciousness seemed to be drifting further and further away.
Could it be... the wine she had drunk before?
But it had been so long! Why was the alcohol kicking in now! And it really knew how to pick the right time!
However, it was already too late. Her consciousness was getting more and more out of control.
Wei Zhi noticed that something was wrong with Chu Qing and immediately supported her, coldly saying to Chu Zhan, "What did you do to my master!"
"Nothing," Chu Zhan smiled, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes. "He's just drunk."
Hearing this, Wei Zhi immediately placed his hand on Chu Qing's wrist. Sure enough, there were no signs of poisoning.
After learning that the other person was Chu Zhan, Wei Zhi knew his relationship with his own master. This ridiculous result left her at a loss.
Chu Qing hadn't said anything, and she didn't dare to reveal her identity without permission.
But...
"Who exactly are you?" Chu Zhan slowly stood up and walked leisurely in front of the other person.
Ignoring the strange look from the other person, Chu Zhan's face still carried a cold look.
Chu Qing saw Chu Zhan walking in front of her in a daze, with a cold look on his face as if she were a stranger.
It really made her angry!
Without thinking, Chu Qing reached out and pushed Chu Zhan.
Chu Zhan didn't expect the other person to make a move. Caught off guard, he took a few steps back.
Feeling the strength of the other person, the coldness in Chu Zhan's eyes became even more intense. He didn't expect this little man to know martial arts!
"I'm your uncle!" Chu Qing said with full confidence.
Chu Zhan was stunned for a moment after being scolded like this. Then he sneered and reached out to pinch the other person's chin, full of killing intent:
"What did you say?"
In all his years, this was the first time he had been scolded like this.
How could he bear this anger?
Chu Qing only felt her chin being pinched painfully. She wanted to reach out and push the other person again, but unfortunately, the other person was already on guard against her. He slightly dodged to the side and avoided it.
The pain from her chin became even more intense. A sudden feeling of grievance welled up in Chu Qing's heart.
She just wanted to see what her elder brother was up to!
It was okay that she hadn't been recognized, but the other person had treated her so violently!
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Even... her eyes became slightly red, and she was on the verge of crying.
Seeing that the other person was about to cry, Chu Zhan couldn't help but frown.
Wei Zhi, who knew everything, also became anxious, "You can't treat her like this!"
You'll regret it!
Chu Zhan drove away the annoyance in his heart and looked at the other person gloomily.
"Chu Zhan, you bastard!!!" At this moment, Chu Qing seemed to have forgotten that she knew martial arts. She slapped the hand that was pinching her chin in the most primitive way, and her feet also kicked the other person hard.
Seeing that this little man was becoming more and more outspoken, Chu Zhan narrowed his eyes and increased the strength in his hand.
"I'm going to tell Father and Mother that you're bullying me!!!" Chu Qing finally couldn't hold back her tears.
Losing her senses, she didn't care about anything else.
She only felt that her chin hurt so much. Her elder brother was really a jerk.
But Chu Zhan frowned, a bit surprised at why the other person would say such a thing.
Seeing that the situation was developing in an increasingly absurd direction, Wei Zhi finally couldn't help but say, "Young Master Chu, stop quickly! She is the Princess of Ning! She's just dressed as a man!"
"What?!" Chu Zhan was shocked and suddenly let go of his hand. He looked at the so - called little man who was looking at him aggrievedly.
Suddenly, his mind went blank.
This person was... the Princess of Ning...?
His little sister, Qing'er?
Afraid that the other person wouldn't believe it, Wei Zhi immediately helped Chu Qing to a chair beside them. Then he found some water and a towel and washed Chu Qing's face.
After a while, Chu Qing's familiar face was exposed in front of Chu Zhan.
Looking at the most familiar face, Chu Zhan finally believed it.
This person... was really his little sister!
So...
What had he just done?
Gave her strong alcohol with extra ingredients? And reached out to pinch her chin painfully?
His heart suddenly twitched. He wished he could chop off the hand that had exerted so much force just now!
He usually wouldn't even touch a single finger of hers, but now he had made her cry?
He really was a bastard.
At this moment, Chu Qing was still sobbing softly. After rubbing her own chin, she raised her little face and looked at Chu Zhan angrily, "Are you stupid? You can't even recognize your own sister!!!"
Chu Zhan wanted to cry but had no tears. But now he couldn't argue for himself. Looking at the shocking finger marks on Chu Qing's chin, Chu Zhan only felt heartache.
The masked man was extremely shocked to see his master's originally murderous expression instantly turn to one of helplessness.
Chu Zhan carefully squatted in front of Chu Qing and said apologetically, "I was wrong. Brother is a bastard. Tell me how I can make you forgive me?"
Chu Qing pursed her lips and then looked down at Chu Zhan and said,
"Give me the Drunken Immortal Pavilion!"
