Quite a headache

The tightly shut guest hall door was pushed open by the anxious Ye Ji.

The wind and snow howled, pouring into the living room, and accompanying them was Ye Ji's peerless figure.

She wore a simple white, form-fitting long dress that accentuated her graceful, curvaceous figure.

Her black hair, like a waterfall of stars, flowed straight down to her waist, exuding boundless charm.

Three peach-red marks on her forehead added a touch of allure.

At this moment, her Phoenix eyes glared fiercely at Deputy Dean Meng Zhengfei!

If looks could kill, Deputy Dean Meng Zhengfei would probably have been chopped into eighteen pieces by now.

With Ye Ji's sudden intrusion, Deputy Dean Meng Zhengfei and Vice-Dean Ning Hao were greatly alarmed.

“It’s you?”

How could they forget this person?

The terrifying strength of that single finger, which repelled a Saint-Grade divine weapon, still echoed in their minds.

What they never expected was that the other party would dare to force their way into Phoenix Feather Sect.

Could it be that she was confident enough to openly declare war on Phoenix Feather Sect?

Phoenix Aotian on the side looked furious.

“How audacious!”

“How dare you come to my Phoenix Feather Sect and act so presumptuously!”

In Phoenix Aotian's view, he was responsible for the security of Phoenix Feather Sect.

He was very confident that the grand array he had set up in the Sect would prevent even a Great Saint from entering unnoticed.

Now, a woman who appeared out of nowhere had stealthily infiltrated Phoenix Feather Sect.

She even appeared before Zhong Qing, which was undoubtedly a severe challenge to his security duties.

The Twelve Demon Generals, Qilin, and others also looked at the woman before them with ill-intent.

The other party might be extraordinary, being able to sneak into Phoenix Feather Sect so silently.

But daring to reveal murderous intent in front of their master, even if it wasn't directed at their master, still made them extremely displeased.

Ye Ji, who had been full of imposing Aura, felt the unfriendly gazes of the Phoenix Feather Sect members.

She immediately grew anxious!

Her eyes, full of pity, looked at Zhong Qing.

She said, flustered, “Zhong Lang, listen to my explanation!”

“Zhong Lang?”

That single phrase instantly made everyone's cerebellum shrink.

They looked at Zhong Qing, then at the woman at the door.

Their unfriendly expressions instantly vanished.

In their place was the raging fire of gossip in their hearts, and expressions full of curiosity.

Zhong Qing, who was leisurely drinking tea on the side, heard this address.

The tea he had just drunk instantly sprayed out.

“Cough, cough!”

He coughed until his face was red, and goosebumps covered his body.

He felt a chill all over.

There was even a strange sense of horror.

“Miss, have you mistaken me for someone else?”

Just imagine, a woman you've never met suddenly barges in and calls you an endearing term in a voice sweet enough to kill. How would you feel?

Zhong Qing's first thought wasn't about a romantic encounter.

It was a scheme!

Ye Ji shook her head!

Her Phoenix eyes gazed at him infatuatedly, with a gentle light that seemed to overflow with water.

“Zhong Lang, you are like a shooting star streaking across the night, so brilliant and dazzling, and like the bright moon among the stars, so distinct and unique. How could I mistake you for someone else?”

This voice, filled with infinite tenderness, inexplicably moved people.

Qilin’s large eyes widened like copper bells.

His not-so-developed brain had a flash of inspiration, and with an expression that seemed to see through the truth of the matter, he loudly declared, “I know!”

“This must be Master’s former lover, abandoned by Master, and now she’s come looking for him!”

Little Ga quickly added, “It’s clear that this elder sister likes Master very, very much!”

“If you don’t leave, I won’t abandon you!”

“If you leave, I will search for you to the ends of the earth!”

“Wow, how romantic!”

“Big Brother, I believe in love again now!”

The others looked at Zhong Qing with surprised expressions.

Their meaning seemed to be, so Master has such a side to him!

Several black lines instantly appeared on Zhong Qing’s forehead.

He gave Qilin and Little Ga a knuckle rap each.

“Go away!”

“You brats who haven’t even grown all your feathers, do you know what love is?”

Little Ga pouted, pointing to his colorful feathers.

He wanted to argue a few more words, but seeing his master's displeased expression, he mumbled a few times and ultimately dared not say anything more.

After sending Qilin and Little Ga away, Zhong Qing finally looked at Ye Ji.

He looked into her eyes, which were as gentle as water.

In this world, anything can be faked, but the eyes are the windows to the soul.

That undisguised, naked love in her eyes could not be faked.

For a moment, he even wondered if he had, as Little Ga said, let such a girl down.

But very quickly, he felt a sense of absurdity.

Whether in his previous life or this one, he had never even had a proper relationship.

In this world, the only one he had an unclear relationship with was Fire Linger from before.

Who did he let down?

Thinking of this, his brows furrowed slightly.

“Miss, I don’t seem to know you!”

Ye Ji nodded shyly.

Against the backdrop of the fierce wind and snow, she was like a white rose in the depths of winter.

Slender and graceful, a bud about to bloom, she was truly a rare beauty, a captivating woman that one couldn't help but pity.

“That’s right!”

“Zhong Lang has never seen me before, but I fell in love with Zhong Lang at first sight!”

At this moment, Ye Ji’s face was flushed.

Her heart was filled with extreme nervousness and shyness.

This was her first meeting with him, and she had already expressed her love.

Would he think she was a frivolous and wanton woman?

But if she didn't express her feelings directly, it might lead to an even greater misunderstanding.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at Deputy Dean Meng Zhengfei and Vice-Dean Ning Hao.

If it weren't for their sudden intrusion, she wouldn't have rushed out to explain, fearing Zhong Qing's misunderstanding, and wouldn't have ended up in such an awkward situation.

Upon receiving her glare, Deputy Dean Meng Zhengfei and Vice-Dean Ning Hao felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.

What happened today was definitely a major event that shattered their worldview.

They had thought that Ye Ji harbored ill intentions and was full of malice towards Phoenix Feather Sect.

But now, it seemed that was not the case at all.

The other party had come out of admiration for this Senior of Phoenix Feather Sect.

Deputy Dean Meng Zhengfei and Vice-Dean Ning Hao, who usually remained unfazed even when Mount Tai collapsed, truly changed color this time.

Neither Zhong Qing nor Ye Ji were beings they could afford to provoke.

Was this truly a scene they were qualified to witness?

They, the two of them, had now seen a Saint who had fallen in love.

They wouldn't be silenced, would they?

As the two were flustered and confused, Ye Ji no longer paid them any attention.

Instead, she looked at Zhong Qing with a tender expression.

“Zhong Lang…!”

“Stop!”

Zhong Qing felt uncomfortable with her constant calling him “Zhong Lang.”

Deep down, he felt as if thousands of ants were crawling on him, making him extremely awkward.

“My name is Zhong Qing, Miss, you can just call me by my name.”

As soon as he said this, Ye Ji’s face instantly turned pale.

She unconsciously took a step back.

Like a lone boat swaying in a stormy sea, she appeared frail and on the verge of collapse, as if she had suffered an immense blow, her spirit instantly wilting.

Her swaying figure in the wind and snow, coupled with that expression of utter despair, was truly pitiful and made one want to hold her close and cherish her.

“Master, how can you bear to be mean to such a beautiful and gentle elder sister?”

Little Ga stood by, speaking up for Ye Ji.

His large eyes were brimming with tears, clearly heartbroken.

Zhong Qing was extremely depressed.

He was merely stating a fact, how did it turn into being mean to her?

Headache, a big headache!

Ye Ji’s eyes dimmed. In her opinion, Zhong Qing’s action was clearly an attempt to distance himself from her.

Although she had been mentally prepared for this scene, it was still somewhat difficult for her to accept when it actually happened before her eyes.

Clearly, under the influence of Zhong Qing's Extreme Charm Body, Ye Ji had already been affected to an abnormal degree.

She bit her red lip lightly, her face pale, and said, “I’m sorry, Ye Ji was too presumptuous!”

“Previously, Ye Ji did come to Phoenix Feather Sect with ill intentions!”

“But ever since I met Young Master Zhong… my world has only contained Young Master!”

“Ye Ji knows that with my status, I am certainly not worthy of Young Master.”

“In this life, I only ask to be able to watch Young Master from afar, and I will be content!”

“But these two said that I harbored ill intentions towards Phoenix Feather Sect, and Ye Ji truly did not want Young Master to misunderstand, which is why I came out to explain.”

“Young Master, in this life, my heart already belongs to no one but you!”

“I wonder, Young Master, if you could give me a chance.”

“As long as I can stay by Young Master’s side, even if Young Master asks me to serve tea and pour water, or work like a horse, Ye Ji would be more than willing!”

As she spoke, Ye Ji bowed resolutely and knelt on the ground, saying, “Young Master, please, give this servant a chance!”

“If I cannot follow Young Master in this life, then living holds no meaning for this servant!”

By the end of her words, a look of tragic farewell had appeared on her face.

Clearly, if Zhong Qing was unwilling to take her in, she truly might commit suicide in front of him.

This scene greatly moved Qilin.

“What is love in this world, that it makes people pledge their lives to each other!”

Little Ga’s eyes were filled with tears, clearly deeply moved.

He tugged at Zhong Qing’s pant leg, pleading for Ye Ji, “Master, for the sake of this beautiful elder sister’s sincere devotion, please take her in!”

Zhong Qing rubbed his temples.

He looked up at the sky, somewhat speechless.

He sighed inwardly, “What kind of situation is this!”
