140: Oh no, the second young lady is kissing me!

"Wait in my mother's room. Once I get the medicinal herbs, I'll pretend to be passing by on my way home and go to the room to find you. Then we'll find a chance to slip away."

Feng Ming nodded. Although this plan was risky, they had to try.

Let's put it this way: Feng Ming knew from the start that he couldn't hide it from Lu Zhenfeng.

So he didn't intend to hide it; his focus wasn't on deception, but on gaining enough time to reach the Square.

With the Dean and Elder Xu there for the aftermath, he wouldn't have to worry.

After they finished discussing, time became tight.

Without further ado, following the plan, Lu Qianqian brought Feng Ming into the City Lord's Estate.

Speaking of which, the layout and scenery of the City Lord's Estate were quite good, and its location was optimal, but unfortunately, Feng Ming was too nervous to appreciate it.

The two headed straight for Lu Zhenfeng's residence. With a glance from Lu Qianqian, Feng Ming immediately slipped into her mother's room.

This room was relatively much safer; aside from Lu Zhenfeng, there were only two Golden Core Realm Experts guarding the courtyard, not even any Guards.

With Lu Qianqian's help, it was easy for Feng Ming to enter.

Upon entering the room, Feng Ming saw his future Mother-in-law.

She was a woman whose appearance could be described as stunning. At this moment, she lay quietly on the bed, her face pale and her complexion very poor.

The situation did not look optimistic.

Feng Ming sighed, feeling that his Father-in-law had it quite rough.

Over these years, he had been both father and mother, caring for his sick wife, gathering medicinal herbs, and managing the city.

Since he was his future Father-in-law, he had to help him out today no matter what.

Thinking of this, Feng Ming picked up a vase from the table and smashed it on the floor.

Crash.

With a loud crash, the Golden Core Realm Experts guarding the door to Lu Zhenfeng's room immediately sensed something was wrong.

One of them said, "Quick, go notify the City Lord immediately."

The man nodded and immediately rushed out of the courtyard, while Lu Qianqian successfully entered Lu Zhenfeng's room according to the plan.

Next door, after making the noise, Feng Ming crouched in the room covering his mouth and nose, not daring to breathe.

Lu Qianqian knew the Breath-Calming Art, but he didn't; he had just received the Secret Manual and hadn't had time to Cultivate it yet.

If he were detected, things would become difficult.

Now it depended on whether Lu Qianqian's movements were fast enough.

But holding one's breath by covering the mouth and nose was very uncomfortable; every second was agony.

Fortunately, after Feng Ming held out for about three or four minutes, Lu Qianqian's voice came from outside.

"What happened?"

The Golden Core Realm Expert spoke immediately upon seeing Lu Qianqian.

"Reporting to the Second Miss, there was a noise in Madam's room just now."

"I have already sent someone to notify the City Lord."

Lu Qianqian nodded and asked, "Did you detect any aura?"

The Guard shook his head, "No. We cannot enter the room, so we must ask the Second Miss to go in and check."

Lu Qianqian nodded; this was exactly what she was waiting for.

She immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as she entered, Lu Qianqian saw Feng Ming huddled in a corner, his face flushed bright red.

Clearly, he had reached his limit for holding his breath.

Seeing Lu Qianqian arrive, Feng Ming hurriedly signaled her to evacuate quickly.

Lu Qianqian shrugged helplessly.

Indicating that there were people outside and they couldn't leave yet.

Then, Lu Qianqian turned and said to the outside, "There's no one. It was just a vase blown down by the wind."

Hearing this, the people outside breathed a sigh of relief.

"Very well, Young Miss. You may go about your business; I will wait here for the City Lord to return."

Feng Ming was instantly dumbfounded.

If he stayed here, how was he supposed to leave?

Lu Qianqian also knew this wouldn't work; if he held it any longer, Feng Ming would suffocate.

"No need, you can go back. I'll keep watch here. When Father returns, I'll tell him. His room shouldn't be left unguarded either."

The Guard hesitated slightly.

"But..."

Feng Ming could no longer hold out at this point and immediately let go of his hands to gasp for air.

Seeing this, Lu Qianqian looked urgent; she absolutely couldn't let him breathe, or they would be exposed.

With the Guard's ability outside, he would definitely sense the presence of a second person immediately.

In her desperation, Lu Qianqian didn't care about anything else; she grabbed Feng Ming and kissed him.

Feng Ming only felt a rush of warm air being sent into his mouth.

Relieving his situation of nearly passing out from lack of oxygen.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Qianqian's face pressed against his, their lips touching, and he was instantly dazed.

"Holy crap, is my Sister-in-law trying to take me by force?"

Lu Qianqian came back to her senses and saw Feng Ming staring at her with wide eyes. Her face flushed red, and she raised her hand to cover his eyes.

Then, moving away from Feng Ming's lips, she said, "Go. I will wait for Father to return. As for you, if anything goes wrong on Father's end, can you take responsibility?"

After Lu Qianqian finished speaking, she saw Feng Ming covering his mouth and nose with one hand and pointing to his mouth with the other.

Clearly, he was telling her that he couldn't hold out anymore.

Lu Qianqian crossly took a few deep breaths and then suddenly kissed him again.

Outside the door, the Guard finally compromised.

"I'll head back then. I'll trouble the Second Miss to stay here."

After he spoke, Lu Qianqian felt the other person's presence receding.

Just as she was about to tell Feng Ming to run, she saw his face turning purple, as if he were about to gasp for air.

She had no choice but to take a few more breaths and blow them into Feng Ming.

Feng Ming finally recovered.

Lu Qianqian pulled him along, quickly vaulted out the window, and headed straight out of the City Lord's Estate.

As they moved further away, Feng Ming began to breathe freely, finally no longer worried about being discovered.

In fact, because he was with Lu Qianqian, not only was he not worried about being caught, but they also walked openly, with Maids and servants bowing along the way.

However, neither Feng Ming nor Lu Qianqian was interested in that.

Lu Qianqian was even more annoyed, saying as she ran:

"You'd better not have been faking just now, or I'll kill you!"

Hearing this, Feng Ming was stunned, then realized Lu Qianqian was talking about her kissing him just now.

It seemed like it happened two or three times.

Maybe because it happened so many times, she still hadn't forgotten?

This wasn't Feng Ming's first time interacting with Lu Qianqian. He knew her somewhat and understood that while she seemed boisterous, she was actually emotionally delicate.

Especially after Lu An'an told him last time that Lu Qianqian liked him, Feng Ming noticed that she was indeed deliberately avoiding them.

Whenever he was with Lu An'an, this girl would find all sorts of reasons to stay away.

After returning to Qingyang City, she had stayed in the Sect and hadn't come out.

Now that he had come to the Sect, she seemed much more at ease.

Feng Ming could sense that her heart was conflicted; she knew her feelings but didn't dare to face them.

Or rather, what she didn't dare to face was her sister, Lu An'an.

So she simply hid away like a timid quail.

When facing him alone, her heart wasn't repelled, and today she even proactively kissed him to avoid exposure.
