9 Dislike
After finally managing a reaction with great effort, Duan Yue chuckled and nodded repeatedly, saying, “Okay, okay.”
/This rascal really knows how to seize the opportunity to flaunt his cleverness!/
While speaking, Duan Yue even raised his head to glare at Crown Prince Mo, who had earlier played dirty.
Beside him, the youth from the Ninth Qin clan voiced his displeasure, “Hey, what are you saying, young lady?”
/Did she just refer to him as a “quilt freak”? Wasn’t she implying that he was a freak?/
/And let’s not pretend he didn’t hear it. Earlier, this young lady insulted the entire Qin Estate, right? Calling the Qin Family abnormal, apart from being an invalid Viscount, was that appropriate!/
The Ninth Qin youth seethed with anger as he glared at Qiao Mu. He noticed that her eyes sparkled with benevolence when she looked at others, but when her gaze landed on him, it turned icy and lifeless.
/Who did he manage to provoke?/ The Ninth Qin youth couldn’t resist snapping back, “So, which family does this young lady hail from? I…”
“Qiaoqiao, don’t pay attention to his nonsense,” Duan Yue felt the need to maintain his image as a dashing figure in front of Qiaoqiao.
“The reason I know this guy is purely a twist of fate, a stroke of ill fortune!”
“At that time, I was still part of the Daybreak Sect. Once, during our sect’s practical training expedition…” Duan Yue quickly explained in a few words.
It turned out that he and his fellow sect members had ventured into a foggy forest during their training, where they became trapped for over half a month.
Around the same time, this guy, Ninth Qin, had also entered the same foggy forest while on his personal training journey. He had endured countless hardships inside for over a month until he stumbled upon the Daybreak Sect’s practical training squad.
With little else to do and struggling to break out of the array formation due to his not-so-high IQ, he had hung around with Duan Yue and his companions from the Daybreak Sect.
“Hey, weren’t we still crammed together on that stone bed for sleep?”
Duan Yue shot him an exasperated look. “Go away.”
The unemotional youth didn’t even bother acknowledging him. Instead, he simply turned around and told Duan Yue to “leave!”
Ninth Qin, the young man, was puzzled. He hurriedly caught up and asked, “Hold on! Duan Yue, what’s happening here?”
/What’s happening? Can’t you see that His Excellency and Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao aren’t too fond of you!/
Duan Yue rolled his eyes at him dismissively. “I don’t know you.”
Ninth Qin couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward. “You’re not treating me like some creep, are you?”
“Get lost!” Qiao Mu grumbled, “Stay away from my teammates!”
Ninth Qin was instantly overwhelmed with sorrow. “What did I do to upset you?”
Qiao Mu was caught off guard. Upon reflection, it did seem unreasonable.
/She couldn’t possibly dislike him solely because he was from the Qin Family, could she?/
This realization caused the members of the Qin Estate to exchange glances. Did this mean that she was secretly afraid of the Qin Family?
Qiao Mu furrowed her brow and attempted to use a gentler tone. “Please leave.”
Mo Lian, Duan Yue, and the others couldn’t help but break into awkward smiles and suppressed chuckles.
/Why was the little one so amusing? Her gentle tone made it even funnier, seriously./
Ninth Qin still had a few words on his mind, but Little Fatty had already begun causing a commotion. “Come on, let’s hurry, or we’ll be late!”
“Hey, are you heading to the Imperial Academy too? Let’s go together, shall we?”
