Chapter 22: Noble at the Front, Despicable Behind the Back

Murong Ce and Xiao Yuluo shouted outside the door. When they still didn’t receive Xiao Qianhan’s response, they lost their patience.

Murong Ce had been mistreated so much in the Wind Thunder Court today. Now that he was being ignored by Xiao Qianhan whom he felt disgusted with, Murong Ce was so filled with anger that he kicked the closed door with ferocity.

When the duo entered the room, they saw that Xiao Qianhan was actually drinking tea leisurely and comfortably! 

Xiao Qianhan had completely ignored their shouts just now. 

Rumors from others were only rumors after all. Right now, they were able to see Xiao Qianhan being able to sit and drink tea with their own eyes. Furthermore, her face under the moonlight which looked so horrifying and unsightly yesterday had been completely recovered! Moreover, her skin seemed to glow like a mesmerizing pearl under the soft and faint yellowish moonlight, looking a lot fairer than before! Looking at her as a whole, her facial features were beautiful and elegant. She had this refined grace that was emitted from within. Whoever saw her at first glance would find it hard to look away.  

When Xiao Yuluo caught sight of Murong Ce’s mesmerized expression, she bit her lips and a grimace flashed through her beautiful eyes.

Murong Ce didn’t expect that not only had Xiao Qianhan got her appearance recovered, she also seemed to become more gorgeous than before! In fact, Xiao Qianhan was already more beautiful than Xiao Yuluo, but Xiao Yuluo was talented while Xiao Qianhan was a wastrel. Therefore, everyone’s eyes would be on Xiao Yuluo. 

Xiao Qianhan’s clear and slightly cold eyes swept over the duo, her expressions were awfully cold as she did so. She lifted the corner of her lips into a cold smile, “I am honored by your presence. What brings you here?”

“How on earth did your injuries recover?” Xiao Yuluo took a step forward to approach Xiao Qianhan and observed her carefully. She realized that Xiao Qianhan wasn’t using any disguise. Sure enough, her appearance had recovered as stated by the rumors. But how could Heavenly Fungus Herb have such a miraculous effect? Xiao Qianhan must be hiding something!

Murong Ce collected his thoughts after Xiao Yuluo’s cold voice had faded away. 

So what if she is as beautiful as a goddess? She is unfortunately only a wastrel!

Xiao Qianhan suddenly felt that something was amusing. Didn’t Xiao Yuluo feel that it was very ridiculous of her to come in the middle of the night just to interrogate Xiao Qianhan? “You’ve seen it with your own eyes, yet you still don’t believe it?” 

“You clearly know what I want to know!? You didn’t consume any Appearance Flourishing Elixirs and you don’t have money to buy it anyway. So how could your appearance recover in just a day?” Xiao Yuluo questioned Xiao Qianhan closely in anger. 

Since Xiao Qianhan was rescued, her temper had changed a lot. She wasn’t as manipulative and easy to deceive as before.

Murong Ce also questioned her impatiently, “What on earth did you consume? Heavenly Fungus Herb definitely won’t have such an effect! Are you hiding something from us?”

A hint of coldness flashed through Xiao Qianhan’s eyes. She put the teacup on the table and asked in reply as she smiled indifferently, “What a joke. Even if I have a secret, so what? If a secret is being told to others, could it still be called a secret?”

“What kind of treasures have you come across? Hand them over!” Xiao Yuluo grasped the Glazed-Beads Whip and clutched it tightly before whipping it beside Xiao Qianhan’s body.

Murong Ce wore a gloomy face when he said, “You know what we can do. Hand them over if you don’t want to get tortured again.”

The two overbearing individuals, one was the royal clan’s Seventh Prince and the other was a prodigy praised by everyone. For the sake of the Seven Kingdoms Collective Test that was happening three months later, they acted noble at the front while they were such despicable individuals behind the back. It was truly an outstanding performance!

Xiao Qianhan didn’t dodge, instead, she sat upright from a distance and picked up her teacup again. She sipped the tea slowly and elegantly, before she looked up while asking with an amused tone, “You dare to hit me in the Xiao Clan’s residence? Are you not afraid that you’ll enrage grandfather?”
