An Yiqing lowered her head, unable to stop her red lips from curving up slightly. This man could get jealous over anything, even insisting on making a big deal out of sothing Anpei Lan casually said.
However, An Yiqing just loved Gu Yelin’s pettiness; of course, her own man should be doted on, and she wouldn’t allow anyone else to bully him!
Anpei Lan didn’t expect Gu Yelin to be so "shaless." Normal people would say sothing like "I don’t deserve it" or "You’re too kind, Patriarch of Anpei Family." But Gu Yelin was unusual; just to pair up with An Yiqing, he even nitpicked over such trivial matters.
What exactly is so special about this woman, An Yiqing? Why does the usually cold-hearted Xuanjin Killer God value her so much?
At this mont, Anpei Lan suddenly beca very interested in An Yiqing and planned to conduct a thorough investigation of her.
Master Gu, who always had everything under control, didn’t expect his warning not only to be ineffective but also to have a counterproductive effect. It seed Anpei Lan was inherently rebellious, the more impossible sothing seed, the more he wanted to do it.
"Patriarch of Anpei Family, what brings you here today?" Arhan, who had been utterly ignored, coughed lightly, bringing the topic back on track.
Anpei Lan glanced at An Yiqing with a smile, then shifted his gaze to Arhan. Shrugging his shoulders, he said nonchalantly, "Oh, nothing much, I was just a bit free lately, so I thought I’d co to sit at the Doufei Headquarters. Why, Mr. Arhan, you wouldn’t mind, would you?"
Arhan’s forehead veins popped out, and he felt a stomachache from Anpei Lan’s utterly unbothered attitude.
Lately free? You, the Patriarch of the biggest Onmyoji family in Country Bai, is free? Free enough to visit his Doufei Headquarters? Unless Arhan was a fool, there was no way he’d believe such a flimsy lie.
As for An Yiqing and her group, they just drank water if they needed to, lowered their eyes if they needed to, and pondered if they felt like it, completely treating Anpei Lan’s words as re air without even leaving a bad sll.
Although Arhan felt helpless toward Anpei Lan, he couldn’t be rude to soone with a smiling face. After all, the man was a guest here and not here to stir up trouble; how could he be chased away?
With no other choice, Arhan had to politely invite Anpei Lan to a seat, then returned to his own position and drank water in silence.
"You guys don’t have to mind . Just talk about whatever you need to discuss. I’m just a free spirit, like to wander around," Anpei Lan warmly greeted everyone, as if he were the real head of the Doufei Army Headquarters.
Arhan felt his inner organs cramping with pain due to Anpei Lan’s antics. Talk? He wished he could talk! But how could he discuss his topics openly with Anpei Lan around?! It was like putting a wolf among his collaboration partners.
Arhan was so furious his nose almost smoked, but his face had to maintain a smile. Over ti, even his facial muscles were cramping.
An Yiqing coughed slightly, lowering her head to hide her suppressed laughter. Anpei Lan shot her a casual glance, a trace of a smile appearing from deep within his eyes, as a chill swept over.
His gaze paused, Anpei Lan slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, then looked at the icy-cold Gu Yelin again, smiling gently, yet received a cold downward glance in return.
Awkwardly rubbing his nose, Anpei Lan internally pouted; it seed he wasn’t particularly welco here.
The atmosphere inside the tent suddenly beca exceedingly awkward; Arhan had things to say but couldn’t, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin were not talkative, Peng Shaohe watched the scene nonchalantly, and Anpei Lan, without knowing why he ca, oddly inserted himself. Everyone had their thoughts, and they remained silent, leading the soldiers outside to enter several tis, thinking sothing had happened.
Who knows how long it had been, for so long that Peng Shaohe was about to doze off. Suddenly, a deafening noise shook the entire Doufei Headquarters, causing it to shudder.
An Yiqing abruptly raised her head. Instead of looking outside first, she looked directly at Anpei Lan. Whether it was her imagination or not, An Yiqing felt that at the mont the loud noise occurred, Anpei Lan was smiling.
"What happened?!" Arhan’s face changed when he heard the boom, discreetly glanced at Anpei Lan, and then quickly looked outside.
An officer hurriedly rushed in without even saluting, anxiously saying, "General! We have an enemy attack!"
