The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Thinking of that Grand Tutor who had kissed her by force, Ji Fengyan felt like crumbling.

“That damn Grand Tutor.” Ji Fengyan ground her teeth in anger.

Meanwhile, Linghe and the rest drew a cold breath. In the entire Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, only Ji Fengyan would so disdain the Grand Tutor.

Nevertheless, they wisely pretended not to have heard anything.

After all…

This was an awkward matter. Their Mistress had truly been wronged.

Liu Huo’s face turned a little pale. With a complex expression, he looked at Ji Fengyan’s angry profile. His heartbeat sped up involuntarily, while his hands had turned clammy.

“Mistress, if that’s really the case. This matter… do you want to discuss it with the Grand Tutor?” Linghe suggested cautiously. The eldest princess was part of the royal family and extremely doted upon by the Emperor. Ji Fengyan would be in deep trouble if she made an enemy out of her.

“No way! I don’t ever want to see him again.” Ji Fengyan refused without any hesitation.

Liu Huo’s looked even more ill at this.

Linghe dared not say another word. Xing Lou had helped Ji Fengyan twice before, but… had now caused a major problem for Ji Fengyan. As such… he really better keep his mouth shut.

“Let’s go back to the Ji family residence first.” Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes.

This was a major dilemma. The counterparty was the royal family. She couldn’t just barge in and give the Eldest princess a sound beating. Even if she explained to the Eldest princess that she had completely no interest in Xing Lou—the princess would probably just order for her execution.

Depressing…

Too depressing!

Every time she thought of Xing Lou’s face, the memory of his sudden kiss involuntarily floated across Ji Fengyan’s mind. This caused her heart to skip a beat and her thoughts to be in a swirling mess.

Abruptly, Ji Fengyan thought of something. She instinctively looked toward Liu Huo, just to discover…

Liu Huo’s face had unwittingly turned extremely peaky.

Ji Fengyan panicked.

“Liu Huo, there is really nothing between me and that stupid Grand Tutor. Don’t let your thoughts run wild.” Ji Fengyan hurriedly explained to Liu Huo.

Liu Huo’s lips quivered, his face looking even worse.

“Don’t worry, I will never see that fellow again. I hate him to death.” Fearing that Liu Huo would misunderstand, Ji Fengyan immediately swore to the heavens.

Liu Huo, “…”

Really, he felt like puking blood.

His heart felt like it had suffered a punch. Nevertheless, Liu Huo could only suppress his urge to vomit blood and try his best to moderate his expression.

He wanted to smile at Ji Fengyan, but his facial muscles were completely immobile.

Ji Fengyan was heartbroken at the sight.

She resolutely decided to take a detour whenever she saw Xing Lou in the future.

A desolate Ji Fengyan had no other outlet to vent and could only blame it all on the Ji family. She couldn’t touch the princess for the time being, while the Lei family had also been subdued by her. Only the troublesome Ji family was left alive and hopping.

Bringing a stomach-full of anger, Ji Fengyan led Linghe and the rest in a hurried march toward the Ji family.

Ji Qiu and the rest were hanging out in the Ji family hall after their return, waiting for the expected “good news”.

Ji Qingshang’s eyes were full of anticipation. She kept gazing out now and then, waiting for the people hiding near the graveyard to bear news of Ji Fengyan’s demise.

Very quickly, a Ji family bodyguard rushed in from the front gates.

Startled, the entire Ji family turned toward that person.
