250: Chapter 250 doesn't seem to be it.

This Chen San was definitely not Chen Shanzhi, but Chen Shanzhi might just know something about that Chen San.

Thinking of this, Palace Master Su Jianqing looked at Chen Shanzhi, took a deep breath, and kept her tone gentle.

However, her beautiful eyes were locked firmly onto his pupils, not letting even the slightest micro-expression change escape her:

"Chen Shanzhi, do you know who that Chen San is?" Palace Master Su Jianqing enunciated each word, her voice extremely soft.

Hearing this, Chen Shanzhi's heart skipped a beat.

Good grief, this woman was worthy of being the Palace Master of Four Seas Academy; her intuition was actually sharp to such a terrifying degree?

How could she possibly think that he was that Chen San?

If this were before yesterday, facing a mature, intellectual, and alluring beauty like Palace Master Su Jianqing...

With Chen Shanzhi's somewhat lecherous nature, he definitely would have made use of the situation, admitting to it half-truthfully to win the favor of this beautiful Palace Master.

After all, a player fishing for love is most skilled at showcasing their own value.

But now? No! Absolutely not!

In his heart, Chen Shanzhi immediately sounded the highest level of alarm for himself.

Yesterday at the Prime Ministers Mansion, that Chen San had written the "ode to the wild goose" about undying love and had even achieved a resonance of Literary Qi with Ouyang Wanqing.

If he showed even a hint of a slip-up now...

First, his heroic and dashing fiancée, Murong Zhaoling, would surely grab her spear and skewer him from one end of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion to the other?

Secondly, there were the other heroines who hadn't yet entered his fishpond.

If they knew that he, Chen Shanzhi, had written such a deeply affectionate piece "about undying love" for Ouyang Wanqing...

Then his grand plan for a harem would likely be declared bankrupt on the spot!

Therefore, there were some bottom lines that must never be easily exposed before the net was fully closed.

These thoughts flashed through Chen Shanzhi's mind in an instant.

The next moment, the expression on Chen Shanzhi's face, which had been relatively serious, suddenly collapsed.

His somewhat languid eyes were instantly filled with the arrogance typical of a playboy.

"Huh? Chen San?" Chen Shanzhi picked his ear in an extremely exaggerated manner, and right in front of Palace Master Su Jianqing, he rudely blew on his fingernails.

"What kind of bullshit Chen San or Chen Si is that? Which suicidal bastard dares to use the same surname as This Heir and even make up such a trashy fake name?"

Speaking of this, he wore an undisguised look of annoyance on his face and even spat fiercely on the ground.

His arrogant expression was acted out vividly, without a single flaw.

Palace Master Su Jianqing stared at him for a long time.

Her gentle, pretty face finally relaxed slightly, and a trace of self-mockery and disappointment flashed deep in her eyes.

As expected, who in the capital didn't know what kind of character Chen Shanzhi was?

The strange phenomenon at the Prime Ministers Mansion yesterday—this playboy who only knew how to eat, drink, and play all day probably hadn't even heard of it yet.

She had actually suspected that this good-for-nothing Heir was the Literary Dao Genius who wrote "little pond" and the "ode to the wild goose."

It was truly somewhat wishful thinking.

"So that's how it is; it was This Palace Master who overthought it."

Palace Master Su Jianqing sighed, shook her head with a lack of interest, and said: "This Palace Master only heard by chance that this person had incredible literary talent, so I was just a bit curious."

Seeing that this hurdle was passed, Chen Shanzhi heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart, and following that, his lecherous playboy nature naturally resurfaced.

His gaze wandered restlessly, sweeping over the section of Palace Master Su Jianqing's plump calf wrapped in black silk.

Subsequently, Chen Shanzhi tucked his hands into his chest in a somewhat frivolous manner, stepped half a step closer, and his handsome face was full of fawning, cheeky smiles:

"However, Palace Master Su, speaking of literary talent... This Heir is also one of the best among the Four Great Playboys in the capital.

If Palace Master Su is curious about literary matters, why don't we find a time to go to This Heir's bedroom... and have a candlelit chat?

This Heir has plenty of fun ancient books there..."

However, before he could finish his lewd remarks, the air in the main hall instantly and without warning turned completely cold.

Palace Master Su Jianqing, who had originally been gentle and warm with an intellectual smile, now had eyes that were cold and indifferent, gently sweeping toward Chen Shanzhi's throat.

"Hum—!" A terrifying, massive pressure of heaven and earth, nearly capable of freezing the entire space, descended upon Chen Shanzhi's head like an ancient behemoth slowly opening its eyes.

"Damn it." Chen Shanzhi's internal True Qi nearly stagnated in that instant, his breathing choked, and bean-sized cold sweat instantly seeped out on his forehead.

Big sister, you are a top-tier expert on the Heaven Ranking; is it necessary to be this ruthless against a Junior like me in the Profound Gate Realm?

The acting had clearly gone far enough. If she didn't stop now, he might really be slapped to death on the spot by this Palace Master who looked gentle but actually had an extremely tough temper.

"Ahem... well!" Chen Shanzhi wisely shrank his neck, and the frivolity on his face vanished completely in an instant.

He panicked and grabbed the hand of Jiang Feiyu, who was standing to the side covering her mouth and giggling. Dragging this girl along, he turned and ran wildly toward his bedroom:

"Feiyu! Your injuries have suddenly flared up; it's very serious. That's right, it brooks no delay! Let's go heal your wounds right now!"

"Oh my... Little Chen, slow down... You're pinching me..."

Jiang Feiyu stumbled as she was dragged by him, and the two of them scurried off in a somewhat disheveled manner, disappearing at the end of the corridor leading to the backyard.

"Hmph." Watching Chen Shanzhi's retreating figure as he fled in panic, the terrifying True Qi pressure in the center of the hall, which was nearly capable of crushing space, vanished in an instant.

Palace Master Su Jianqing sighed with some amusement; in her watery eyes, that trace of coldness retreated completely, leaving only helplessness and annoyance:

"A playboy, indeed, is good for nothing. To think... he even dared to flirt with This Palace Master."

However, watching Chen Shanzhi's still steady and solid footsteps as he fled, as well as her Disciple Jiang Feiyu, who was being dragged away but seemed to trust him very much...

A strange thought inexplicably flashed through Palace Master Su Jianqing's mind. This Zhenguo Marquis Mansion Heir always felt a bit off.

Meanwhile, at the Prime Ministers Mansion, Ouyang Wanqing, who was regulating her True Qi in her boudoir, suddenly opened her eyes with some irritation.

For some reason, her right eyelid had suddenly twitched violently just a moment ago.

"Could it be... that bad seed is out there flirting around again?"

Ouyang Wanqing gnashed her silver teeth slightly. She hoped she was just overthinking it; after all, she had made him pay quite a lot of "public grain" yesterday.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Wanqing closed her eyes again and began to Cultivate.

She had also obtained a Cultivation Technique in that illusion world. It could refine the essence of Spiritual Qi accumulated in her body through Cultivation.

When she first obtained it, Ouyang Wanqing only thought it was a Demonic Path Cultivation Technique.

But after dual Cultivation with Chen Shanzhi yesterday, there was so much Spiritual Qi essence in her body. Since she now had a marriage engagement, she naturally dared not let her body automatically absorb this Spiritual Qi essence.

However, Ouyang Wanqing couldn't bear to wastefully vaporize this Spiritual Qi essence.

Furthermore, this Cultivation Technique could only be practiced by someone whom she deeply loved and who also loved her. Looking at it this way, it was at most a Cultivation Technique for boudoir pleasure, not a Demonic Path Cultivation Technique.

It was just that Palace Master Su Jianqing's sudden visit yesterday forced Ouyang Wanqing to stop the refinement halfway. This resulted in her having to hold it in while meeting Palace Master Su Jianqing, for fear that this Spiritual Qi essence would return to the heavens and earth, making it impossible to Cultivate.

Fortunately, after finishing the refinement yesterday, her internal True Qi had condensed for the fourth time, increasing by another ten percent. It was not in vain that she had carried this around while walking through the Prime Ministers Mansion when meeting Palace Master Su Jianqing.
