C35 (1/2)

Didn't she and Mo Qingfeng have to go out to buy New Year's gifts? Why did they have to drink tea in this mansion with a large signboard that had the words ”Ming Residence” hanging on it? Qin Xiao couldn't figure out what was going on. He didn't even have the mood to eat the snacks in front of him. He lazily laid on the table, supporting his chin with his hands as he looked at Mo Qingfeng. Today, his white shirt was the same as usual, but it gave Qin Xiaolian a completely different feeling. However, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong. But little bastard Qin dared to vouch with his own brain, that Mo Qingfeng of today, was very, very — — — wrong!

After waiting for a long time, he didn't see his host come out to greet him. Instead, he saw that the dishes were exceptionally sumptuous. Mo Qingfeng was not in a hurry either, he took a jade cup and poured himself a cup of tea, slowly drinking it. His lowered eyes blocked the complicated look in his eyes, and he unconsciously clenched the jade cup tightly.

”Hey, little Momo, is it that the owner of this house still owes you money and hasn't paid you back yet? Why is his face so stinky!?” Qin Xiao squatted in front of Mo Qingfeng and looked at him strangely. Normally, if they didn't fight, they would just cause a ruckus. The two of them never had a moment of peace. She had never seen such an ice-cold Mo Qingfeng before, as though a completely different person. If not for the fact that she had known him for quite some time, she would have thought that he had a twin brother!

Mo Qingfeng didn't say anything. In this place that made his entire body feel uncomfortable, even Qin Xiaoliu couldn't ease his nervousness. He was still drinking the tea without taking a sip, yet he couldn't even taste if the tea was bitter or sweet.

”Qingfeng, sorry for the wait.” Along with the gentle male voice, a thirty-year-old man walked out. His clothes were very ordinary, and he wore a light blue scholarly robe. His appearance was also very ordinary. However, one could not ignore the fact that he was standing in front of others. The scholarly and unrestrained aura merged with his body.

”Senior apprentice-brother.” Mo Qingfeng stood up, his head was slightly lowered, and he looked extremely respectful. Unfortunately, Qin Xiaoliu happened to be half a head lower than him, and the complicated and impatient expression in his eyes fell into hers.

After the three of them sat down, a smile appeared on Mo Qingfeng's face as he said, ”Senior Brother, let me introduce you. Brother Qin is a close friend of mine, I am confident that he will be able to pass the test in the next year.” He then turned to look at Qin Xiao Lu. ”This is Scholar Ming Xiao Yuan. He's also the examiner for today's examination …” ”My senior apprentice-brother.”

Qin Xiaoliu was very smart, when Mo Qingfeng reported the identity of the person in front of him, he already understood why Mo Qingfeng brought him here. He quickly took a step forward, clasped his hands, and said: ”Student Qin Guanyu greets the lord.”

Qin Xiaoliu was a man of his word. From the moment she said her name, she clearly knew that the name of Qin Xiaobao, along with her, would disappear from the eyes of the martial arts world.

”Qin...” ”Crown?” Ming Xiao Yuan whispered Qin Xiao's name as he looked at Mo Qingfeng, ”Are you begging me for him?”

”I'm not begging you. You can choose not to help.” Mo Qingfeng's hands gently caressed his robes as though he was nonchalant. However, those who were familiar with him all knew that this was the appearance he had when he was at his most alert.

”If you want me to help him, at least give me a reason!” Mingxiao leaned back in his chair, a faint smile on his face. A light flashed across his eyes, making Qin Xiao feel like he was a tiger who was being stung. Under the casual look, he was concealing a burst of power that couldn't be underestimated, as if he could tear a person into pieces at any time. It seemed that this gentle looking Ming Han Lin was not someone to be trifled with!

”Reason?” Mo Qingfeng sneered, ”There's no reason. If you want to help, help out. As long as you have money, I will buy all of the ministers you have. A recommendation letter is not difficult at all! ” As he spoke, he stood up, looking like he was about to leave.

”If their recommendation letter was really useful, you wouldn't have come to find me,” Ming Xiao Yuan said as he smiled mockingly at Mo Qingfeng, who was standing with his back facing him. Qingfeng, don't forget, your big brother isn't the only one who understands you. ”
