Chapter 310: Hot Mountain Spring Villa 10
Jiang Yeqian said evenly, “It’s just a joke. However, if I were to speak the truth, as long as the Koi Temple stands, you still wouldn’t gain the upper hand even if you all were to simultaneously attack our country from all directions.”
Xiao Wuji asked curiously, “Why not? Is it just because that another grandmaster has appeared on your side?”
Jiang Yeqian replied, “I don’t know whether another grandmaster has appeared, but I’m leaving because the little empress now regards Li Ruoxuan very highly and no longer needs me. You lot wouldn’t be able to destroy it with Li Ruoxuan in Northern Liang. That fellow still possesses some tricks up his sleeve.”
“Then why not come to Eastern Ling and become my follower after you resign,” Xiao Wuji responded hurriedly.
Jiang Yeqian side-eyed him and said, “Not interested!”
…
Qi Qingyao heard the conversation between the two and was quite surprised.
These people… these words could have been exchanged back in the Furong Waterside Pavilion, yet they chose to chat about it here. Probably because there were too many people back in the Furong Waterside Pavilion, which might lead to lots of gossiping!
These people in the hot spring, who were probably from Eastern Ling, knew Jiang Yeqian. They were exchanging information!
As she thought of this, a gust of cold air blew past her nose, causing it to itch somewhat. After trying to hold it back for a bit, she failed and let out a forceful “achoo”!
The group of men who were soaking in the bath below scrambled to their feet.
Xiao Wuji exclaimed sharply.
“Who’s there?”
He stretched out his hand and a line of water flew toward Qi Qingyao like a sharp sword.
She was unable to dodge it.
Her body tilted and she tumbled down the wall; falling with a “thud” on the ground over the wall.
The fall had not been light.
Qi Qingyao rubbed her behind as she got up, crying out in pain.
“Ow ow! My butt, it’s about to split into two…”
After she got up.
She became aware of the gazes that were prickling down her back.
Qi Qingyao turned around and saw the group of white bodies. This…she truly did not know where to direct her eyes. Qi Qingyao hurriedly looked up into the sky and said calmly and composedly, “My apologies. I was just peeping at beautiful men taking a bath when god knows why the wind became so strong, blowing past and making my nose itch! I sneezed! But then I fell because you guys gave me a fright. Don’t mind me everyone, con-continue on…”
After she said this, without waiting to see what they were thinking, she then went flying out the door.
Xiao Wuji shouted in a cold voice.
“Stay where you are.”
He would never have thought that it was this woman.
Xiao Wuji stood up and approached Qi Qingyao slowly. He sighed with emotion. “Woman, you ran here to peep at men in the bath. Aren’t you a little…”
She widened her eyes, looking at him without the slightest bit of courtesy.
“…”
When it came to women, Xiao Wuji normally knew his way around them. Yet this time, he was actually feeling a little embarrassed under the woman’s absolutely penetrative gaze. His expression drew taut, and he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist, obstructing his important parts.
Qi Qingyao feigned a disappointed sigh and said.
“Ah, don’t cover it! What’s wrong with letting others have a look?”
Xiao Wuji, “…”
Qi Qingyao rubbed the back of her head and said with a smile, “Wouldn’t it be a letdown to the reputation of this hot spring villa if I didn’t take a peek at you all in the baths?”
Jiang Yeqian finally broke out of his stupor and held himself back from rushing toward the woman and giving her a punch. After he got up and wrapped his waist with a towel, he glanced at Xiao Wuji and informed him blandly, “She’s a friend of Lu Yan.” If he had not, Xiao Wuji would have probably obliterated her.
