"Celestial Master Zhang, have so tea and snacks." Xuexue was very welcoming to Celestial Master Zhang and his apprentice.
The more Long Rui watched, the angrier he beca, but he couldn’t do anything about it, so he sulkily said, "Dear, I want tea too. I want so snacks as well."
"Whatever you want to eat or drink, just take it yourself! You’re a grown man, do you really need to feed you?" After saying this, Xuexue no longer looked at Long Rui’s resentful eyes, picked up a cup of tea and smilingly handed it to Celestial Master Zhang, saying, "Master, have so tea."
"Eh!" Celestial Master Zhang replied, and when he looked up, he inadvertently saw Long Rui’s murderous gaze. His expression instantly turned timid, not daring to reach out for the tea.
"What’s the matter? Does Celestial Master think the tea at our residence isn’t good?" Xuexue laughed.
"No, no, no." Celestial Master Zhang responded, while secretly glancing at Long Rui again.
Xuexue followed his gaze and turned her head in confusion to look at Long Rui.
Long Rui imdiately adjusted his posture, sat upright with a serious expression, his eyes unblinking, looking very composed.
"Celestial Master Zhang, just drink your tea, don’t mind the Prince, he’s always like this." Saying that, Xuexue handed the tea cup to Celestial Master Zhang again.
Just as Celestial Master Zhang was about to reach out and take it, he felt a murderous gaze shoot at him again, and instinctively glanced at Long Rui. Seeing his murderous eyes glaring, he couldn’t help but shudder, imdiately saying, "Thank you, Madam Situ, just set it down. I’ll drink it later."
"Alright!" Xuexue placed the cup in front of him.
Lin Kong coldly spat out, "Useless thing."
Of course, Celestial Master Zhang understood that his master was scolding him for not daring to provoke Long Rui, and indeed, this was the case. Even The Emperor refrained from confronting Long Rui, how could a Celestial Master do otherwise? Otherwise, wouldn’t he end up like the Pri Minister?
"Celestial Master Zhang: Madam Situ, may I ask you sothing?"
"What is it? Celestial Master Zhang, feel free, I will tell you everything I know without reservation. You can ask anything." Xuexue’s eyebrows were arched in a sweet smile, looking very approachable.
"That tiger of yours...?"
"Celestial Master still has this on his mind?"
"Yes, this old man is very curious about the tiger, always wanting to see it for himself."
"Oh, like that!"
"Yes, could Madam Situ possibly tell this old man where the tiger is?"
"This...!" Xuexue seed very troubled, thought for a long ti before lifting her head, as if making a big decision, saying, "Since it’s Celestial Master Zhang, I will make an exception and tell you."
"Eh eh eh!" Celestial Master Zhang’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly leaned forward.
"Cough cough cough...!" Long Rui’s warning cough echoed.
Upon hearing it, Celestial Master Zhang wisely moved back to a safe distance, then glanced up at Long Rui, seeing his gaze no longer fixed on him, and finally relaxed.
Lin Kong sat by himself drinking tea, seeing Celestial Master Zhang’s cowardly deanor, felt great disdain in his heart. If it wasn’t in hopes of extracting so useful information from Xuexue, normally he would have already dragged his apprentice away, as there was no way he would allow his apprentice to be so humiliated in front of others.
Xuexue continued speaking eloquently: "Celestial Master Zhang, so ti ago, I passed by Purple Peak Mountain and saw the tiger, the very one I keep. I originally wanted to bring it back, but I had matters to attend to that day, so I had to temporarily set this aside, planning to bring it back in a few days."
