2154 Farewell

He looked at Rong Xiu in shock, wanting to see something from his face.

Previously, he felt that Rong Xiu seemed to have guessed something, but he wasn’t sure. But now…

“What is His Grace trying to say?” he took a deep breath and asked in a low voice. “It’s just a waste of our time beating around the bush. It’s better for us to lay one’s cards on the table.”

“The family head is really straightforward.” A satisfied smile appeared on Rong Xiu’s lips. “Hand over Wei Xiping and let bygones be bygones.”

Wei Ze’s pupils contracted!

…

When Chu Liuyue arrived, she saw that the door to the front hall was tightly shut, and Yan Qing was guarding the door.

He held his sword with both hands and straightened his back. When he stood there, he looked like a small iceberg.

When he saw Chu Liuyue, he immediately wanted to bow. Chu Liuyue waved her hand, indicating that he didn’t have to do this.

“They’re inside?”

Yan Qing nodded. “His Highness said that after you come, you can go in directly.”

Chu Liuyue was also very curious about the situation inside. Just as she was about to enter, she suddenly took a step back and sized Yan Qing up.

Yan Qing was a little confused. “Is there anything wrong?”

Chu Liuyue nodded and shook her head. Then, she touched her chin and seemed to be in deep thought. “Yan Qing, your strength… seems to have improved a lot from before?”

At first, she didn’t notice it. After taking a closer look, she realized that Yan Qing’s aura was indeed much stronger than before.

This cultivation speed… is too fast.

To be able to be by Rong Xiu’s side and be highly regarded, Yan Qing’s talent was naturally unquestionable. However, this progress still surprised Chu Liuyue.

Yan Qing didn’t expect her to be thinking about this and paused for a moment.

“I heard that you went to the Wei family alone and invited Wei Ze back?” Chu Liuyue asked again.

Yan Qing nodded. “Yes.”

Then, this is even more shocking… The Wei family is a first-rate family after all. He went alone and came back unscathed. Without a certain level of strength, it is really impossible. Chu Liuyue thought about it and smiled meaningfully. “You’re really similar to Cen Yi.”

Cen Yi was someone who hid his strength well, and so was Yan Qing.

Yan Qing cupped his hands and said, “I wouldn’t dare.”

When she was previously in the Sky-Cloud Empire, Xiao Ba went to find trouble with Yan Qing every day. After coming to Peach Blossom Dock, she restrained herself a lot and even avoided him.

Apart from Cen Yi, Yan Qing was probably the only one who could suppress her.

Yan Qing was stunned and pursed his thin lips. “I didn’t mean to offend Miss Xiao Ba. It’s just that there was a misunderstanding previously—”

Chu Liuyue waved her hand. “It’s fine. Although Xiao Ba is a little wilful, you don’t have to take it to heart.”

Yan Qing wanted to say something but hesitated.

During this period of time, he had indeed not seen Xiao Ba.

Chu Liuyue didn’t notice Yan Qing’s expression. After saying that, she planned to push the door open and enter.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

Chu Liuyue took a half-step back and met Wei Ze’s face.

But at this moment, Wei Ze’s expression was extremely ugly. Chu Liuyue had only seen such an expression on his face when she defeated him in Tang Ke’s tomb.

She immediately smiled. “Oh, Master Wei? Long time no see. How have you been?”

When Wei Ze saw Chu Liuyue, his already bad mood became even worse. He took a deep breath and used an unknown amount of strength to finally restrain his emotions. “I still have something on. I’ll leave first.”

With that, he was about to leave.

Chu Liuyue stopped in front of him. “Huh? I just arrived, and you’re leaving? What does this mean? You don’t want to see me?”

Of course, I don’t want to see you! If I hadn’t been forced into a corner, I wouldn’t even have come to this place! Wei Ze cursed in his heart, as if something was about to rush out of his chest.

“Yue’er, Master Wei indeed has something urgent to attend to.” Rong Xiu walked over unhurriedly and smiled faintly. “Let’s not waste his time.”

Chu Liuyue was a little surprised. Her gaze swept across the two of them, and she was a little confused. This is… already settled? But I still didn’t know anything! However, from the looks of it, Wei Ze was most likely defeated.

Chu Liuyue took a step back.

Wei Ze was about to leave when Rong Xiu reminded him, “Master Wei, you seem to have forgotten something?”

Wei Ze stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Chu Liuyue. The flesh on his face twitched a few times before he finally spat out a few words. “I, Wei Ze, apologize to Master Yue! I hope Master Yue will be magnanimous and not hold it against me!”

Chu Liuyue was even more surprised. Wei Ze is very stubborn. Today, he was actually willing to take the initiative to apologize?

She thought for a moment. “Then… Have a safe trip, Master Wei?”

Wei Ze almost vomited blood. He flung his sleeves and left quickly.

It was only when his figure disappeared that Chu Liuyue turned to look at Rong Xiu. “Aren’t you talking too fast? I just arrived—”

“It’s just a small matter. It’s not that complicated to begin with.” Rong Xiu’s lips curled up slightly.

Chu Liuyue blinked. “You asked me to come… just to hear his apology? What did you say to him just now so that he was actually willing to lower his head?”

Rong Xiu smiled. “Come in. I’ll tell you slowly.”

…

The two of them came to the house, and Rong Xiu briefly explained what had happened.

Chu Liuyue was dazed. “That’s it?”

“That’s all.”

“You only mentioned Wei Xiping’s name, and he agreed to everything?” Chu Liuyue thought about it and still found it very unbelievable. “Does he actually value Wei Xiping so much? Didn’t they say in the past that Wei Xiping wanted to get the position of the Wei family’s young master and that the competition was very intense?”

“Those are just gimmicks. From the beginning, Wei Ze was prepared to give the position of the Wei family’s young master to Wei Xiping. Otherwise, out of so many young people in the Wei family, why would he be the only one to go to Ling Xiao Academy?”

In the eyes of outsiders, Wei Xiping was diligent and studious. But in fact, this was all Wei Ze’s idea to help Wei Xiping pave the way.

“But even so… how can you be sure that the person in the hammer is definitely Wei Xiping?”

It wasn’t that Chu Liuyue didn’t suspect anything, but because she didn’t have any evidence, she didn’t dare to confirm it.

Rong Xiu’s lips curled up slightly. “He values that thing extremely. Coupled with that aura… it’s enough to confirm it. Actually, I don’t have evidence either; I just tricked him. He admitted it himself.”

Chu Liuyue sneered at it. From beginning to end, Rong Xiu almost didn’t spend any effort to resolve Wei Ze?

“What a pity. I should have come earlier.” Chu Liuyue sighed regretfully. Wei Ze’s expression at that time must have been very interesting.

“He’ll come again,” Rong Xiu said.
