"Well, how should I put it? You're not wrong. It's just that you haven't experienced such things before, so you don't know how to handle it for the moment."
"Judging from what you said, Brother, it seems that you've had quite a lot of such experiences."
Feng Zhan: "..."
"By the way, I remember there were quite a few girls who used to like you, Brother, including the princess of the Great Yan. But you didn't have feelings for her. In the end, you even ensured good weather in the southern Qin region for fifty years, right?"
Feng Zhan: "..."
Yan Ruyu: "It seems that you're really better at dealing with girls than I am. I'm not good at pleasing girls."
Feng Zhan was at a loss for words.
Although! Although he had never really dated any girl, he had seen pigs running even if he hadn't eaten pork.
As an elder brother, it was his duty to give some guidance to his younger brother. How could it be wrong?
"Buyan, talk properly."
"I'm just saying that the girl you like is too cautious. You're such an outstanding person, and you like her. If she knew that, wouldn't she be overjoyed?"
"Brother, you don't understand. My fate—"
"Come on, are you going to say again that you have the fate of a thousand - year lone evil star? Buyan, I admit that you're the most responsible one among the four of us, always concerned about the common people. But if you have to be heartless and afraid to express your feelings just because of this, do you think you can live a carefree life like this?"
"If you like Zhao Shuning, just tell her."
"I can see that although that little girl Zhao Shuning is a bit tough - talking, she treats you specially. Look, in front of you, isn't she as obedient as a little lamb?"
"Moreover, this girl has grown up a lot. She's a real young girl now. I didn't notice much when she was a child, but now it seems that Zhao Shuning is really good - looking. Although she's not as perfect as Mother, she's still a rare beauty in the Eastern Ze Wilds. Besides, this girl is down - to - earth. She won't be as particular about her posture as that Elder Xia when walking, nor will she be as pretentious as Lan Yan, who is regarded as a goddess in the clan meeting."
Yan Ruyu remained silent all the time.
Actually, he did care. He just thought that Zhao Shuning was only fourteen years old now. Even though Ye Ling in her body was already an adult, as an imperial teacher, he couldn't have other thoughts about Zhao Shuning at present.
So now Yan Ruyu was waiting.
Waiting for Zhao Shuning to grow up.
While the two brothers were having a heart - to - heart talk inside, Zhao Shuning took Jun Jiu and sneaked into the pavilion again, familiar with the way.
This time, they didn't encounter any obstacles.
"Zhao Shuning, where should we go now?"
"Shh! Don't talk. Just follow me. Remember, if we're caught, you just say that you insisted on coming and I couldn't stop you. Got it?"
"Got it. Don't worry. I, Miss Jun Jiu, am the most loyal."
"Okay."
Since this was the clan meeting place and Zhao Shuning had been here when she was the female emperor, she knew exactly where the hot spring was.
She walked outside quietly.
Fortunately, Yan Ruyu and Feng Zhan in the hot spring were busy discussing their own matters, so they didn't notice the careful movements outside.
In the hot spring, Feng Zhan was enjoying the bath very much.
After his persuasion, Yan Ruyu seemed to have untied a lot of knots in his heart.
"Buyan, you really picked a good place. Every time at this time, you should take a good soak. By the way, what did you add to this spring?"
"Astragalus membranaceus, Schisandra chinensis, Angelica sinensis, Polygonum multiflorum, Chinese jujube, Longan pulp, Millettia reticulata, Velvet antler, Eucommia ulmoides, Cistanche deserticola, Epimedium brevicornu, Cynomorium songaricum, Cinnamon, Psoralea corylifolia..."
"They're all hot - natured Chinese herbal medicines?"
"Yeah."
"You're different from us. Sister and I didn't inherit Father's white - medicine body. Only you were born with this illness. Although it was cured later, on the full - moon night, the coldness in your body is still bone - chilling."
"It's okay. It's nothing."
"If you hadn't given the red lotus to that girl, you wouldn't be so afraid of the cold."
Yan Ruyu smiled.
"Brother, you know that if she gets hurt, that would be like me living in winter all day long."
Feng Zhan couldn't help shivering.
Wasn't Buyan embarrassed saying such words?
"Come on, I'm really asking for trouble."
If it weren't for the little aunt asking him to watch over Zhao Huai, the ancestor of the strange beasts, Feng Zhan really wanted to return to his own plane quickly.
At this time, there was a very slight sound from outside.
Even though it was faint, it was still noticed by Yan Ruyu, who was deep in thought.
Feng Zhan said, "Is she here?"
"Yeah, probably."
A nice arc appeared on Yan Ruyu's lips.
He was in a great mood.
"Should I avoid them?"
"Yeah."
"Then I—"
"It's too late."
With a bang, the door of their secret room was opened.
Yes, it was Zhao Shuning who did it. After that, she timidly hid behind Jun Jiu.
Seeing the person coming, Yan Ruyu narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous aura immediately filled the whole room.
Noticing the strange atmosphere, Zhao Shuning quickly poked her head out from behind Jun Jiu and said awkwardly, "Master, believe me, I was forced!"
Jun Jiu was really shocked.
She had lived for a long time and thought she had seen all the handsome men in the world. But tonight, she finally knew what it meant to be peerless. No, it couldn't be described like that. Because the two men in front of her were extremely good - looking. Well, not "extremely good - looking that brings disaster to the country", but "extremely good - looking that can topple cities and countries". Forget it, Jun Jiu really couldn't think of any praise words at the moment.
Feng Zhan said, "Zhao Shuning, what are you doing here with someone?"
"Uncle - Master, I didn't do it on purpose."
"I seem to have seen you two."
Jun Jiu pointed at Yan Ruyu and Feng Zhan and said.
Then she covered her mouth.
Weren't they the two statues standing in the largest square of the Qingyun Kingdom? The people of the Feng royal family! Really! In her lifetime, she, Jun Jiu, had actually seen them in the flesh!
As Jun Jiu said, she walked towards the two men in a daze.
Zhao Shuning saw that something was wrong. She only knew that Jun Jiu was fond of good - looking men, but she didn't expect that this little girl was so bold and infatuated.
"Jun Jiu, what are you doing?"
Seeing that she couldn't stop Jun Jiu, Zhao Shuning quickly jumped forward and blocked in front of Yan Ruyu.
"Jun Jiu, let me tell you, Master is mine. You can't touch him!"
But Jun Jiu didn't even look at Zhao Shuning. She walked straight towards Feng Zhan.
So it turned out that Jun Jiu liked this playboy uncle - master?
