Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Facing Sister Demoness’s coercion, Ye Jingtang didn’t compromise. Instead, he flipped his wrist, took out a golden token, and said seriously, “Miss Shui’er, strictly speaking, my authority is higher than yours. I don’t think this is a big deal, and 1 have the right not to tell anyone the truth. If you continue to do this, I will order you to return to Void Jade Mountain immediately.”Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

Daoist Xuanji was clearly stunned when she saw the ‘As If I Am Here’ token. “You and Yuhu…”

Ye Jingtang corrected her sternly like an impartial judge. “Miss, how can you call Iler Majesty by name? You should say Iler Majesty.”

Daoist Xuanji’s red lips moved slightly. After some thought, she compromised and nodded. “What is your relationship with Her Majesty?”

Ye Jingtang said seriously, “Ms. Imperial Teacher, you shouldn’t ask about such top-secret matters. Don’t make things difficult for me.”

Daoist Xuanji took a light breath, causing her clothes to bulge slightly, but she didn’t say anything.

After all, in terms of etiquette, a teacher for a day was a father for life. The status of a master was indeed as supreme as a biological father, but this obviously didn’t apply to the emperor. Otherwise, the three teachers of the Eastern Palace would be the ones to make the final decisions in the Imperial Court.

Daoist Xuanji had been conferred the title of imperial teacher. If necessary, she could even spank Dumdum. But before the supreme imperial power, she still had to have the awareness of being a subject. If she felt that she was above the empress and casually interfered with the affairs of the empress at will, there would definitely be problems.

Daoist Xuanji remained silent for a moment and didn’t ask further. She only harrumphed softly. “Kid, you climbed really fast. Even Her Majesty trusts you so much…”

Ye Jingtang said frankly, “1 feel that what I’ve done is worthy of the trust of Her Majesty and the Prince of Jing. 1 didn’t obtain these things by flattery and my looks but by working hard and fighting with my life on the line.”

Daoist Xuanji knew that Ye Jingtang had repeatedly made extraordinary achievements after entering the capital, so she didn’t deny this. “Her Majesty favors you, so I naturally listen to you. However, you’re thinking too much if you think you can rely on this to suppress me. I personally supported Her Majesty to ascend the throne, so Her Majesty still listens to me more.”

Ye Jingtang put away the token. “Miss, I have no intention of competing with you for favor. As long as you don’t interfere with my work, I will still listen to you.”

Daoist Xuanji had come over to interrogate and reprimand Ye Jingtang, but he had counterattacked. She was very unhappy.

After all, Luo Ning was her best friend, Dumdum was her disciple, and Yuhu was also her disciple.

Young Master Ye, who was ‘not attracted by beauty’ in front of her, had stolen almost all the people around her. She wanted to manage it, but she couldn’t. How could she be happy?

But there was nothing Daoist Xuanji could do about Ye Jingtang at this moment. After some thought, she turned around and said, “Alright, go boil some water. I’ll keep this a secret for you for now. If I find out later that you have a close relationship with Xue Baijin… Hmph.”

After Ye Jingtang watched Sister Demoness leave, he shook his head silently. He felt that if Xue Baijin came to kill him in the future, even a god wouldn’t be able to save him.

But since things had come to this, he could only take it one step at a time…

In the inn…

Dongfang Liren went up the stairs. When she passed by the corridor, she found that there were two adjacent rooms with lights on. Knowing that Ye Jingtang’s lover was staying inside one of them, she couldn’t help feeling strange. She continued to maintain a dignified expression, but her footsteps subconsciously became silent.

She walked to a room a little farther away and was about to open the door when he heard a voice.

“Chirp…”

She turned around and saw the big bird squatting sneakily on the roof beam, looking like it had made a mistake and was afraid of being beaten up.

Dongfang Liren said doubtfully, “Beloved Consort, what are you doing?”

“Chirp chirp…” The bird muttered that it had been deceived by Sister Heartless, causing Sister Heartless to open Sister Little Watermelons’ door without doing anything to warn her. But Dongfang Liren clearly didn’t understand this.

For this reason, the bird only flapped its wings and shrank back behind the beam.

Dongfang Liren didn’t understand what was going on. Seeing that the bird didn’t want to play with her, she entered the room alone.

Dongfang Liren had been surrounded by people since she was a baby. Suddenly having no one awaiting her orders, she was a little uncomfortable. After scanning the clean room, she sat down at the head of the bed and took out Tears of a Heroine from her bosom to read.

She had just read a few pages when there was movement in the corridor outside. She hurriedly closed the book and assumed a meditative posture…

In the corridor, Ye Jingtang carried two large buckets of hot water upstairs. He looked around along the way and didn’t see Daoist Xuanji around. He quietly went to the door of Ning’er’s room and whispered, “Ning’er?”

“You still know how to come back? Really… She didn’t beat you up, right?”

“No, I just told the truth…”

“What truth? That you forced me or that I’m…”

Ye Jingtang understood what Ning’er meant and replied gently, “How could I let you take the blame? The truth was that I took liberties with you and didn’t let you leave. There was nothing you could do…”

“Okay, at least you have some conscience…”

“Hehe~ Please help me get a change of clothes.”

“For the princess to wear?”

“Yes, my robe will do. She can’t wear your and Third Lady’s clothes.”

“How big is she that she can’t wear them?” Luo Ning was obviously a little sensitive to the word ‘can’t wear’, and her voice was quite dissatisfied.

Through the ‘hand test’, Ye Jingtang knew that Dumdum and Third Lady were evenly matched. But he definitely couldn’t say this. After he waited for a moment, the door opened. The cold-faced Ning’er placed a folded robe under Ye Jingtang’s armpit.

Ye Jingtang didn’t disturb the angry Ning’er anymore. He carried the clothes and two buckets of water to the room at the end of the corridor and used his shoulder to push open the door..
