The Li family’s patriarch brought his clansmen to Fragrant Garden in an imposing manner.
The procuress was shocked by this scene.
The Li family was a famous family in the Imperial Capital, so how could they appear in a place like Fragrant Garden so easily?
Moreover, the Li family’s patriarch looked down on them.
Although the procuress was conflicted, she could only instruct someone to receive him first while she immediately report to her master in the backyard.
Not long after Kong Rui entered, she called Su Niang and Tong Sheng to her room and gave them some instructions. Then, she heard the procuress rushing over.
Kong Rui instructed Su Niang and Tong Sheng not to move first. After she went out and listened to the procuress’ words, she asked the procuress to deal with the situation in front.
“Tong Sheng, do you remember what I told you just now?” Kong Rui grabbed Tong Sheng’s arm gently and asked carefully.
Tong Sheng nodded heavily with a cautious expression. “I remember everything you said!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKong Rui finally patted his arm in satisfaction. Just as she stood up and was about to bring them out, she heard Chao Bai looking for her in another room.
After Kong Rui paused for a moment, she asked Su Niang and Tong Sheng to wait outside before entering Chao Bai’s room.
As soon as she walked into the room, Kong Rui’s arm was grabbed by Chao Bai.
Kong Rui was shocked and was about to slap him when Chao Bai grabbed her other hand.
Kong Rui gritted her teeth and thought to herself, “Sooner or later, my cultivation level will definitely surpass yours!”
Chao Bai didn’t seem to have any intention of competing with Kong Rui. Instead, he pulled Kong Rui to a chair and sat her down.
Before Kong Rui could react, Chao Bai handed her a pill. “Take it.”
Not knowing what it was for, Kong Rui stared at the pill.
Seeing that Kong Rui didn’t swallow it immediately, Chao Bai revealed a dissatisfied expression. Then, he took a deep breath and said, “This pill can temporarily change your appearance. The Nie family is now searching the city for the siblings wearing the veiled hats. If you go out like this, it will arouse suspicion.”
Hearing Chao Bai’s explanation, Kong Rui immediately understood. Without hesitation, she grabbed the pill and stuffed it into her mouth.
Kong Rui felt her entire face heat up and swell, as if her facial features were constantly being pinched and pulled.
She subconsciously wanted to reach out to touch her face, but Chao Bai grabbed her hands again.
After confirming that Kong Rui wouldn’t touch her face again, Chao Bai took out a pill and swallowed it.
Under Kong Rui’s gaze, his face kept changing. After a few seconds, it gradually stopped.
Kong Rui looked at Chao Bai’s well-defined face in disbelief.
“You look…” Clearly unable to accept it, Kong Rui frowned.
Chao Bai touched his face gently. “This is good!”
Then, he reached out to Kong Rui’s face with a dissatisfied expression. “You don’t look as good-looking as before!”
Hearing Chao Bai’s words and feeling his warm hand on her face, Kong Rui blushed.
The burning sensation that had finally subsided returned again.
Kong Rui immediately stood up from her chair and avoided Chao Bai’s hand. As she walked out, she said, “The Li family is still waiting outside. I have to get out quickly!”
Chao Bai also followed Kong Rui out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKong Rui immediately reached out to stop Chao Bai. “Don’t go out. What if…”
“Do you think I changed my face for fun?” Chao Bai asked Kong Rui matter-of-factly.
Only then did Kong Rui realize that Chao Bai had changed his face so that he could face the Li family with her.
After all, Chao Bai went into the Li family’s home with Li Ling.
Now that Li Ling had disappeared, the expert Li Ling had invited naturally had to disappear too!
Kong Rui didn’t know if she should feel happy or helpless.
Chao Bai was very meticulous, but he always treated her like a child who hadn’t grown up yet and kept thinking of ways to resolve everything for her.
As Kong Rui thought about this, she couldn’t help but frown. This feeling wasn’t good! Not good at all!
Kong Rui suddenly felt angry and turned to walk out.
Not knowing why she was suddenly angry, Chao Bai stared at Kong Rui’s back in a daze.
He sighed helplessly as he followed Kong Rui out of the room.
Su Niang was explaining something to Tong Sheng. When she saw Kong Rui and Chao Bai come out, she froze for a moment before hurriedly bowing to them. “Master!”
