Chapter 297: Never Expected You to Be That Kind of Grand Tutor (2)Ji Fengyan turned in reflex, consequently…
The flawlessly handsome Xing Lou had quietly materialized at the intersection between the evening light and the shadows. The glow of the setting sun and the darkness of the shadows merged upon his pure white robe, giving it a layer of beauty and mystery, and imparting a sense of sublimity to that exceptional face.
Xing Lou wrinkled his brows. His eyes held a strange light as he gazed mildly at Ji Fengyan and the dark guard.
Surprised, Ji Fengyan stared in confusion at the nearing Xing Lou. She had actually could not detect his approach.
The moment he saw Xing Lou, the dark guard hastily stepped backwards to increase the distance between Ji Fengyan and himself. Lowering his head, he said, “Lord Grand Tutor.”
“What were you two talking about?” Xing Lou’s gaze was not upon the dark guard, but that monotonous voice still felt inexplicably oppressive.
Just as the dark guard was opening his mouth, Ji Fengyan cut in. “Nothing much, I just wanted to thank Brother Dark Guard for helping me in Ji City and during the birthday banquet.”

Xing Lou’s brows twitched. His eyes finally shifted toward the dark guard. Just one look caused the dark guard to shiver all over. Without any hesitation, he immediately dropped on one knee upon the ground!
“Grand Tutor, please forgive me.”
Ji Fengyan was stunned. She didn’t do anything;Why was the dark guard so nervous?
Moreover…
Ji Fengyan stole a glimpse at Xing Lou—his face didn’t hold any expression, but somehow, she could feel he was definitely not in a good mood.
“Well… I was the one who came looking for Brother Dark Guard, hoping to treat him to a meal to show my gratitude. I apologize if this has delayed Lord Grand Tutor’s business matters. I am sorry…”
However…
Xing Lou’s face turned even blacker.
She called him Brother Dark guard.
Whereas he was Lord Grand Tutor?
Xing Lou felt an extreme sense of suffocation as if a huge rock was crushing his chest.
“That was under my orders,” Xing Lou said.
Ji Fengyan, “?…?”
Xing Lou said, “If you want to express your gratitude, you can treat me to a meal instead.”
Ji Fengyan, “… uh…”

Ji Fengyan was in a right dilemma. She had finally seized an opportunity when Xing Lou would not be there to question the dark guard on the blood clan. But… why was this Xing Lou always hovering around! And he still wanted to get a free meal out of her…
Looking at Xing Lou’s “quickly treat me to a meal” expression, Ji Fengyan quietly wiped her face.
To be honest, she really couldn’t understand what was going inside the head of the Grand Tutor, who was so revered in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon.
“Well… if the Grand Tutor doesn’t mind, that would naturally be best.” Ji Fengyan forced a smile.
“I don’t mind.” Xing Lou replied seriously.
Ji Fengyan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry…
“Right, it will be my treat. I thank you both.” Ji Fengyan revived herself. There was no rush. It would also be good for her to cultivate some familiarity with the dark guard first.
Unfortunately…
“Just myself will do.” Xing Lou wrinkled his brows slightly. Without waiting for a response from Ji Fengyan, he turned toward the kneeling dark guard. “Finish your business.”
“Yes!” Right before Ji Fengyan’s eyes, the dark guard practically flew off and disappeared without a trace at Xing Lou’s command…
