Between rapid steps, Du Chuxuan slipped into the carriage ingratiatingly, not paying attention to Luo Yi’s smirk. He didn’t care being mocked now, for he would have a more difficult time if he didn’t please Yuxing Tianrui.

“What’s the matter, Tianrui?” As soon as he entered the carriage, he wrapped Yuxing Tianrui in his arms.

However, the latter turned around, just in time to dodge his arms. “What’s the matter? Well, you’ve had a terrific day today, don’t you, My Lord?”

Du Chuxuan touched his nose, growing more unsure of what was going to happen. “Tianrui.”

Luo Yi was spurring the horse to a different direction, and shivered when he heard that.

If those at the Green Hills Temple knew that Lord Luo was like this on a daily basis, they might as well look down on the entire Sect Luo. Fortunately, only he and those close to the lord knew that.

Yuxing Tianrui snorted, not even giving Du Chuxuan a glance. Right now, he didn’t want to talk to Du Chuxuan. Truth be told, he didn’t know what he was so upset about.

“Boss, what’s going on with His Highness and the lord?” Sitting on the other side outside the carriage, Luo Er was curious for Jiu Dengdan had been gloating ever since he sat down and Luo Yi would shudder every now and then.

Luo Yi rolled his eyes and shoved the reins into his hand. “I have to take care of something after we are in town. Keep the horse steady, or I won’t be able to help you if the master blames you.”

Jiu Dengdan pulled out a jug of wine. It was quite out of his expectation that the usually fearless little devil would follow someone around all day long, afraid that someone wasn’t happy. If one day he could also experience what it was like to be that someone, it would be the ultimate delight in life.

Du Chuxuan heard the conversations outside, but he couldn’t care less for he could barely save himself now. Carefully, he picked up some of the pastries that Yuxing Tianrui liked and handed them to his mouth ingratiatingly.

The smile on Du Chuxuan’s lips grew deeper as he watched Yuxing Tianrui move his mouth slightly and swallow. He knew it. There wasn’t a problem that couldn’t be solved by good food. If there was, then it must be that the food wasn’t good enough. If it was, then problem solved.

“Tianrui, I made this for you myself, with sweetened bean paste, which is your favorite. Have a try. You can be angry at me later.”

Yuxing Tianrui’s mood had hardly been lifted by the first two sentences when he turned glum as he heard the last one. “Do you think I’m joking?”

“!” This is not good! That was the first thing that came to Du Chuxuan.

Yuxing Tianrui’s severe tone made the temperature around him drop.

Judging by all this, Du Chuxuan knew his little jealousy jar was indeed angry. What exactly was wrong with what he said that didn’t go down well with Yuxing Tiantui?

“Well? You are going to ignore me now, aren’t you?” Yuxing Tianrui grew more and more furious. What irritated him more was that he hadn’t even figured out why he was annoyed.

Du Chuxuan scratched his head awkwardly. He remembered from a novel that he needed to please his little jealousy jar now, but the problem was that he didn’t know how to do it. He was left with nothing to do! So, he didn’t say anything for silence is golden.

Therefore, by the time the two got off the carriage and back at the inn, the atmosphere between them had dropped to the freezing point.

Du Chuxuan pushed open the door to their room carefully, indicating Yuxing Tianrui to enter first. This is also a kind gesture, right?

But what happened next!

Yuxing Tianrui actually took out an ingot of silver and placed it in the waiter’s hand, asking for another room!

The waiter, having heard from the innkeeper about the guests, knew that they were members of Du family, so he immediately followed the instruction. In no time, he gave Yuxing Tianrui the room next door.

Du Chuxuan sat in the room, annoyed as he drank one cup of tea after another. Next to him, Jiu Dengdan poured himself wine calmly as if he couldn’t see how worried his disciple was.

“This is abnormal!” Du Chuxuan couldn’t help but mutter. He recalled today’s events, but just couldn’t find out what exactly made Yuxing Tianrui angry.

“Well, it’s not quite normal.” Jiu Dengdan nodded in agreement. Counting the time, he sighed at the low efficiency of the patrol office. It was beyond time it should come here. Well, could it be that there was some kind of scheme?

“You can see that too?” Du Chuxuan suddenly looked up with hope.

It was only when Jiu Dengdan looked at him did he recall what just happened. “Look at you. You are worthless. You’re my disciple. How come you are born with an elm head?”

That really fueled Du Chuxuan’s anger. He was about to explode, but was restrained by Jiu Dengdan. “You’d better sit here and think it over. Nobody can help you on this. One can help you once, but what if this happens again? Is this your marriage or mine?”

After saying this, Jiu Dengdan picked up his wine bottle and walked away, leaving Luo Er, who still didn’t understand what happened with a bitter face.

The two had dinner in their own rooms. Du Chuxuan asked Luo Er to invite Yuxing Tianrui over once, but Yuxing Tianrui didn’t even come out of his room, so he gave up on the idea.

In another relay station in Xiangyang, the third prince looked at the man kneeling on the ground and asked in a small voice, “Are you sure that’s their true identities?”

“Your Highness, I saw them enter the same inn and asked the tenants who lived there secretly. They all said that the two shared a room. But today, they seemed to be having some sort of quarrel, so they asked for another room.”

“I see. Keep watching them and report to me if anything happens.” Nodding, the third prince waved and dismissed the man.

Sitting with narrowed eyes, he considered the credibility of this information. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust his own man, rather, he wasn’t sure whether Luo Xuan was putting on a show, or was really a homosexual.

Although the powerful in Wulin had their own eccentricities, Luo Xuan was the first one to openly declare his sexual orientation. Exposing his weaknesses in such a formal occasion – didn’t seem like the attitude that Lord Luo should have. Could it be that he was already so powerful to look down upon the entire Wulin that he didn’t even care about the position of the chief?
