535: I used to be a man

First, Qin Jiang returned to Hua Xia Academy, strolling around until he found Ye Xuan.

Seeing Qin Jiang, Ye Xuan's eyes lit up, and she softly said,

"Young Master Qin, you've arrived~"

With that, she bowed slightly.

Qin Jiang waved his hand and said,

"No need for formalities."

Looking at Ye Xuan, Qin Jiang couldn't imagine that the former Ye Xuan was once a man, if he hadn't witnessed it himself.

He couldn't find a single masculine feature on her.

Ye Xuan straightened up, turned slightly, pointed to the courtyard, and said,

"Young Master Qin, please come in first."

"Okay."

Walking into the courtyard, Qin Jiang sat on a stone chair, and Ye Xuan thoughtfully brewed a pot of tea for him.

Afterward, she stood to the side, quietly watching Qin Jiang.

Once the tea was brewed, Ye Xuan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Qin Jiang:

"Young Master Qin, you've come for Li Yang, haven't you?"

Ye Xuan asked.

Hearing that, Qin Jiang nodded, took a sip of the tea, and said,

"Your mission can end now.

You've done well these years, I will instruct the Academy to give you some rewards."

"I am willing to do things for Young Master Qin, no reward is needed."

Ye Xuan said softly.

Her gaze had not moved from Qin Jiang since she first saw him.

Qin Jiang felt a bit helpless.

He naturally understood Ye Xuan's feelings, but he truly couldn't accept them.

Without saying more, Qin Jiang changed the subject and said,

"Call Li Yang over."

"Okay~"

Ye Xuan replied.

Immediately, she sent a message to Li Yang via a communication stone, inviting him over.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a rapid sound of footsteps came, followed by a knock on the door, and Li Yang's voice came through:

"Xuaner, I'm here~"

Li Yang's voice revealed a hint of excitement; this was the first time Ye Xuan had ever invited him proactively in all these years.

So, upon receiving the message, he immediately rushed over.

Who knew, something special might happen.

Li Yang's heart was filled with a faint anticipation, and he even specifically picked a flower on his way over as a small gift for Ye Xuan.

After knocking on the door, he struck a pose he considered handsome.

His legs were one in front of the other, his head slightly lowered, one hand resting on the courtyard gate, and the other holding the flower to his chest, ready to hand the flower to Ye Xuan as soon as she opened the door.

However, it was a rare opportunity to be so close to Qin Jiang.

Ye Xuan was too lazy to go open the door.

Hearing the knock, she waved her arm, and the courtyard gate opened directly.

Li Yang, who was leaning on the courtyard gate, stumbled and fell directly inside.

He almost fell flat on his face.

An embarrassed expression appeared on his face, and he quickly regained his balance, ran a hand through his hair, and then smoothly offered the flower, looking at Ye Xuan with deep affection in his eyes.

But the next moment, his expression froze, and his entire being was slightly stunned.

He saw Qin Jiang, the man who had taken his 'white moonlight'.

Could it be that he was going to take his Xuaner again?

No!!!

Li Yang took a deep breath, forcefully steadied his mind, and bowed to Qin Jiang:

"Greetings, Lord of the realm."

"Hehe."

Qin Jiang chuckled softly.

He looked at Ye Xuan, gestured with his chin towards her, and said with a smile,

"Tell him the truth."

"Yes."

Ye Xuan nodded.

She looked at Li Yang, her expression indifferent, which made a bad feeling rise in Li Yang's heart.

The truth?

What truth?

Li Yang swallowed, opened his mouth, and cautiously said,

"Xuaner, you..."

"Don't call me Xuaner, you're not worthy!"

Ye Xuan said coldly.

Li Yang trembled all over, his eyes suddenly widened, 'Is this still my gentle and considerate Xuaner?'

No!

She must be deliberately acting so cold to protect herself.

It must be this guy who threatened Xuaner!

Li Yang looked at Qin Jiang, feeling that he understood the whole truth.

He lowered his head slightly, his heart full of emotion.

Xuaner was truly too good to him; even when threatened, she still thought of protecting him.

He couldn't cause trouble for Xuaner.

He took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, and remained silent.

Seeing his appearance, Qin Jiang also sighed a little; Ye Xuan truly had the ability to train a Son of Destiny into this state.

Ye Xuan's voice remained cold:

"From the very beginning, my contact with you was by Young Master Qin's command..."

"What?"

Li Yang suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Xuaner's contact with him was Qin Jiang's command?

How could that be?

"No!

Impossible!"

Li Yang kept shaking his head, unwilling to believe Ye Xuan's words, and he stared intently at Ye Xuan:

"Xuaner, you're lying to me, you must be lying to me, aren't you?"

"Lying to you?"

A hint of mockery appeared on Ye Xuan's face:

"You useless person, don't you have any self-awareness? If it weren't for Young Master Qin's command, I'd be disgusted just seeing you, how could I have contact with you?"

"!!!"

As her words fell, Li Yang staggered, still finding it hard to accept.

After Li Qingqiu, Ye Xuan was his 'white moonlight'.

From the very beginning, she actively helped him, spoke up for him, protected him...

She always thought of him.

This made Li Yang, who had never felt warmth, develop an extremely strong sense of dependence on Ye Xuan.

However, now he was being told that all of this was fake.

Moreover, it was all by the command of another man.

Li Yang's heart instantly collapsed at that moment.

He looked at Ye Xuan, his lips trembling:

"Xuaner..."

"Don't call me Xuaner!"

Ye Xuan frowned and directly slapped him from a distance.

It sent Li Yang falling to the ground.

Then, she looked at Li Yang coldly and continued to tell the truth.

One by one, things that Li Yang had thought were beautiful, but the truth behind that beauty made Li Yang's heart tremble.

This was completely treating him like a dog!

Looking at Ye Xuan's mocking gaze, Li Yang gradually sobered up.

Recalling these years, he had lived in a daze, always revolving around Ye Xuan.

He had made her his everything.

Thinking of this, Li Yang gave a self-deprecating smile; it was fake, it was all fake.

He shakily stood up, looked at Ye Xuan, his voice full of pain:

"Since that's the case, then from now on, you and I have no more relationship!"

With that, he was about to leave directly.

At this moment, Ye Xuan waved her arm, and the courtyard gate closed directly; she flashed and appeared in front of Li Yang:

"I haven't finished yet."

"Since everything is fake, what else is there to say?"

Li Yang clenched his fists and said indignantly.

Hearing that, Ye Xuan chuckled softly, licked her red lips, and reached out a finger to lift Li Yang's chin.

Although he knew that everything was fake.

But at this moment, Li Yang's heart still couldn't help but skip a beat, and he lost himself for a moment.

Ye Xuan's lips curved into a smile, she leaned close to Li Yang, and whispered,

"Let me tell you, actually...

I was once a man."
