With just one sentence, Feng Yunshu trembled all over, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Third senior brother, even you want to bully me..." Feng Yunshu choked with sobs, and tears slid down her cheeks.
Seeing this, the Grand National Master was a bit flustered. He quickly stepped forward to wipe away her tears. "Little junior sister, don't cry... You know I'm most afraid of a woman's tears. Where did I bully you? Didn't I protect you in the main hall just now?"
Hearing this familiar tone, Feng Yunshu's mind was filled with all kinds of interesting things that happened in the sect during her previous life of cultivating immortality. Her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"Third senior brother, I... I miss you all..."
Feng Yunshu sobbed and opened her arms to hug the Grand National Master, just as warm as the family members in the previous life.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. How much grievance have you suffered to cry like this... You're at least a cultivator who has practiced for nearly a hundred years. How could you be bullied by these ordinary mortals?"
Kong Ze, the Grand National Master, really felt sorry for his little junior sister. Although he was scolding her with words, his tone was full of spoiling. As he spoke, he gently patted her on the back to comfort her.
At this moment, Feng Yunshu, who was immersed in the joy of reuniting with old friends, didn't notice that Helan Yanting walked out of the main hall after finishing talking with the Third Prince and was looking up in her direction.
The Third Prince noticed that the aura around Helan Yanting suddenly turned cold. He followed his line of sight and happened to see Feng Yunshu hugging the Grand National Master.
For a moment, Helan Yanting and the Third Prince stood at the entrance of the main hall with different expressions.
"Brother Yanting, in the main hall just now, this king heard that second young lady of the Feng family say that you treat the princess in a duplicitous way? You beat and scold her in private. Is this true?"
Helan Yanting's face turned as black as could be. After a moment of silence, he seemed to squeeze out a sentence through his teeth. "Does Your Highness think I'm such a person?"
"It's really hard to say. As the saying goes, every family has its own hard-to-read scriptures. This king sees that the princess and the Grand National Master have only met for the first time, but they seem to have a very good relationship. On closer inspection, the princess seems to be in tears? She must have suffered a great deal of grievance, right?"
Helan Yanting didn't say a word. Dongfang Yuan suddenly felt a chill down his back, and the hairs on his body involuntarily stood up. He silently turned his head to look at Helan Yanting beside him.
"Brother Yanting?"
Helan Yanting coldly glanced at Feng Yunshu and the Grand National Master, then withdrew his gaze. With a frosty face, he turned his head away. "This is Yanting's family matter. Your Highness is meddling too much."
Here, Kong Ze, the Grand National Master, was just facing the entrance of the main hall, so he naturally saw Helan Yanting's extremely black face and couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Hey, junior sister, if you keep hugging like this, your so - called husband is probably going to eat people."
Hearing this, Feng Yunshu let go of Kong Ze. The excitement just now had passed, and now she had calmed down a lot.
She turned her head and glanced at Helan Yanting. Even from such a distance, she could feel the cold air emanating from him. He was really not to be underestimated.
"It's okay, it's okay. He's just got this kind of temper. I'll explain it clearly to him when I get back."
Feng Yunshu withdrew her gaze and looked at Kong Ze. "Third senior brother, I still have a lot to talk to you about, but it's not convenient to talk here in the palace. When are you free? Let's set a time and place to have a good chat."
"I'm available at any time. You set the time and place."
"Then tomorrow noon. Let's set the place at the Five - Spice Building in the center of the long street. We'll have lunch together then. How about it?"
Kong Ze nodded. "Okay. Didn't we always let you decide everything?"
Since Feng Yunshu knew that the Grand National Master was her third senior brother, the corners of her lips had always been upturned, almost reaching her ears.
"Got it, got it. Third senior brother, you love me the most! Hehe..."
"Alright, go back quickly. I also have some things to deal with. There are many people with sharp ears in the palace. Be careful."
After discussing with Kong Ze, Feng Yunshu turned around and walked towards Helan Yanting.
Helan Yanting was standing at the entrance of the main hall looking at her, motionless as if he were a statue, but an ice statue!
"My lord, have you finished talking with the Third Prince? Let's go together if you're done."
Feng Yunshu pretended not to know anything and stepped forward with a smile to greet him.
Helan Yanting looked at the woman in front of him with a black face. "Do you still remember this king?"
"Of course I do. I haven't lost my memory..." Feng Yunshu shrugged. "My lord, your face looks a bit strange. Are you not feeling well?"
"The Princess of Helan and the Grand National Master seem to hit it off right away," the Third Prince couldn't help but interrupt. "This king has never heard before that you, the Princess of Helan, had any intersection with the Grand National Master. Why are you hugging each other?"
As he said this, Dongfang Yuan glanced at Helan Yanting sardonically. "This king thinks Brother Yanting's forehead is almost turning green. Hehe."
Feng Yunshu caught a glimpse of Helan Yanting's eyes turning even colder. This Third Prince really didn't mind watching the fun!
"This is the private matter between this concubine and my lord. Your Highness the Third Prince needn't worry about it."
After saying that, Feng Yunshu turned around and looked at Helan Yanting. She reached out to tug at his sleeve. Helan Yanting quickly raised his hand to try to avoid her touch, but Feng Yunshu was quick - eyed and grabbed it tightly.
"Let go," Helan Yanting said coldly, scolding mercilessly.
Feng Yunshu smiled cheekily. "My lord, don't be angry... There's nothing between this concubine and the Grand National Master like what you think. You've all misunderstood."
"This king doesn't want to listen and hasn't misunderstood anything," Helan Yanting still had a straight face. "Anyway, this king is a duplicitous and violent man with a bad temper and is moody. Who knows when this king will beat and scold you. This king thinks it's better for Miss Feng to stay away from this king."
Seeing Helan Yanting seriously complaining like this, Feng Yunshu really couldn't help but want to laugh. Was this tsundere guy really acting like a tsundere?
"My lord, are you angry with this concubine because of what Feng Manshu said?"
Feng Yunshu stepped forward and looked at his pouting face. She wanted to poke his indifferent face.
At this moment, Dongfang Yuan beside them really couldn't stay any longer. The lovey - dovey stuff was almost choking him to death, making his face turn green and then red.
"Brother Yanting, Princess of Helan, this king just remembered that there's something to deal with. This king won't bother you two anymore."
After saying that, Dongfang Yuan flicked his sleeves and turned away. Before leaving, he gave Feng Yunshu a very resentful look.
Feng Yunshu didn't have time to care about his business at the moment. She still had to coax this big tsundere.
"My lord, let's go back first. There are many people with sharp ears here. This concubine will explain it clearly to you when we get back."
Helan Yanting glanced at Feng Yunshu. Without saying a word, he wanted to pull out his sleeve and leave, but was grabbed tightly by Feng Yunshu.
"Are you still not letting go?"
Helan Yanting looked up at Feng Yunshu with full of resentment.
"I won't let go unless my lord is no longer angry." Feng Yunshu was determined to be a bit of a rascal and just wouldn't let go.
Helan Yanting gave Feng Yunshu another disdainful look and then turned around to leave. Feng Yunshu really just grabbed his sleeve and followed him.
From time to time, there were maids and eunuchs passing by on the palace road. When they saw the two of them, they quickly bent down and lowered their heads to salute.
After walking a few steps, Feng Yunshu heard two maids chatting behind them. "Look how good the relationship between the Prince of Helan and his princess is. They're really inseparable!"
"Yeah, I thought the Prince of Helan's fate of being a wife - killer would kill this Miss Feng."
