“Villa Lord, it seems like Zhilan has thought too much. I was too thick-skinned and wanted an invitation for my friend. I apologize, farewell,” Zhen Zhilan calmly spoke.

After that, she immediately turned and left the banquet.

“Miss Zhen, you misunderstood. I didn’t do anything!” Even if Zhen Zhilan wanted a hundred invitation cards, he would be willing to give them.

After all, it was very rare for Zhen Zhilan to attend a banquet organized by an outsider. By coming once, it would already mean she was giving them a lot of face.

“Miss Zhen, please listen to me…”

“Miss Zhen, you…”

He wanted to make her stay, yet he didn’t dare to use force and could only watch as Zhen Zhilan walked away without even turning her head back.

The villa owner slapped his thigh and sighed.

How many years had it been since an opportunity for him to form a closer connection with the Shrine appeared? And it was going to be destroyed just like that.

Also, this was a mistake that shouldn’t have happened.

Since that Xia Qingchen could enter, he must have gone through a check by the door. Why must the butler interfere and cause trouble?

Also, Xia Qingchen did take out his invitation card at the end. Not only did the butler not bow and apologize, but he even let him leave in anger!

One could say that everything was caused because the butler acted like a snob.

“Men, come and break the legs of this slave. After that, toss him to the roadside and feed him to the dogs!” After feeling the pain in his heart, a fit of intense anger flared.

Feeling that throbbing rage of the villa owner, how would any attendants still dare to show mercy to the butler?

They immediately carried out the sentence!

“Also!” He turned and stared at Xia Qilin. “Bring your female companion and scram immediately. Also, tell your father that from now onward, all the business connections with me will be severed fully!”

After that, he pointed to Zhao Tianyu. “You too. Scram back and tell your father that before noon tomorrow, I want to see him kneeling before my villa!”

“Quickly scram!”

Xia Qilin turned completely pale. Half of the Northern Xia Manor’s businesses relied on the Rainbow Cloud Villa Lord.

If their business connection was severed, the Northern Xia Manor would take a devastating decline!

Zhao Tianyu’s face also paled. His father wasn’t simply relying on the villa lord. He was one of his subordinates.

He knew that he just created a disaster!

The reason was because he was too meddlesome and butted into the matter between Xia Qilin and Xia Qingchen.

No one would have expected that the origins of Xia Qingchen who left in anger would actually be so great!

He was Zhen Zhilan’s friend. In the entire Lone Cloud City, less than five people could be considered her friends.

Such an identity was even higher than the lords of many martial aristocratic clans!

In the end, Xia Qilin and Zhao Churan were told to scram.

Zhao Churan’s face flushed red, her lips were tightly pressed together.

In the imperial capital, although her status wasn’t high, when had she ever been chased away when she was attending a banquet?

Such an encounter was an unprecedented humiliation to her.

In addition to what had happened in the Immortal Pavilion, this was the second time she was told to scram, right?

At this moment, she truly doubted Northern Xia Manor’s position and Xia Qilin’s future.

On the contrary, Xia Qingchen, who was slighted by her, surprised her repeatedly.

If being acquainted with those from the criminal world was a crooked path, then was being Zhao Zhilan’s friend also considered one?

“Churan, don’t be angry,” Xia Qilin consoled. “It’s all Xia Qingchen’s fault. He unscrupulously fawned on women and used them to climb up and harm us. For such a person, I despise and look down on him!”

When Zhao Churan heard that, she cast a deep glance at Xia Qilin.

As the saying goes, time reveals a person’s heart. Right now, she truly saw through Xia Qilin.

Clearly, he was the one who provoked Xia Qingchen and caused them to be in such an unsightly situation. In the end, he didn’t ponder over his mistakes and chose to blame Xia Qingchen instead?

What had Xia Qingchen done?

He didn’t do anything!

Could this be blamed on him?

Truly, his behavior could be described with a single sentence. ‘The entire world is in the wrong but I will never be!’

Xia Qilin was too opinionated about himself, treating himself as the center of the world.

Hence, he would never be wrong. The one in the wrong was the entire world!

“I feel that cousin Qingchen isn’t too bad. But cousin Qilin, I despise people like you!” Zhao Churan angrily spoke the words in her heart. She then departed the area and left him alone.

Before Xia Qilin could chase her, Zhao Tianyu coldly spoke, “The one surnamed Xia. In the future, don’t ask me to interfere in your matter anymore!”

With a cold snort, he also left the area.

Xia Qilin felt a sense of loneliness engulfing him as he stood at the banquet’s door. He clenched his fists tightly. “Xia Qingchen, what’s so impressive about you! In the past, you are just mud underneath my boots. In the future, you will still be the same!”

He glanced at the direction of his female cousin, desire flashing in his eyes. “Churan, you are mine. No one can snatch you away!”

Several days ago, his aunt had already boarded the ship here. The purpose of her coming was to confirm the marriage engagement between him and Zhao Churan.

For matters of marriage, only the elder generation could make the decision. It was useless even if Zhao Churan objected!

…

As for Zhen Zhilan.

She rushed all the way and finally caught up to Xia Qingchen at the city gate.

Her face was flushed as she panted out an apology, “Xia Qingchen, I apologize. It’s my…my fault because I didn’t arrange things well!’

Seeing her panting, Xia Qingchen patted her back. “I don’t blame you.”

He wasn’t someone that was unable to distinguish right from wrong.

Zhen Zhilan invited him to that banquet out of her goodwill. What made him unhappy was the few pesky flies. How would he blame Zhao Zhilan?

“Really?” Zhen Zhilan inclined her head as she panted heavily.

“I’m actually extremely angry,” said Xia Qingchen then laughed while staring at Zhao Zhilan’s stunned expression.

Realizing Xia Qingchen was just teasing her, she laughed good-naturedly. “How can you be like this!”

Didn’t he know how worried she was? Yet, he still teased her!

But even so, this prank formlessly pulled the distance between the two of them closer.

Zhao Zhilan took out a jade box. “Now, it’s impossible for us to return to the banquet. But I will still make good of my promise and display the old item of Godking Dustless to you.”

Zhen Zhilan carried it along with her and was preparing to display it at the banquet.

She carefully opened up the jade box and revealed an old, simple, and unadorned silk brocade pouch.

“This is an item discovered by the Shrine in the imperial capital three hundred years ago. According to investigations, it should have belonged to Godking Dustless. But despite them using countless methods, they were unable to open the silk brocade pouch. Even when they tried to use violence, no damage was caused to it…”

Zhen Zhilan explained but she discovered that Xia Qingchen showed no reactions at all.

She inclined her head, looked, and stuck out her tongue before she stopped talking.

Because Xia Qingchen now was staring unblinkingly at the pouch. He, who was usually calm in all situations, now had a listless look on his face.

It was like Zhen Zhilan could sense a deep sense of loneliness from Xia Qingchen. The loneliness no one could understand…

“So it turned out that it also came along with me.” Xia Qingchen lifted the pouch as his voice became hoarse.

This was the birthday gift he had prepared for Frost.

He had wanted to give her a surprise on her birthday.

It was a pity that even before that day arrived, Godking Dustless died and the gift just lay there unused.

And since then, it was already a thousand years.

“What did you say?” Zhen Zhilan couldn’t understand Xia Qingchen’s words.

Xia Qingchen didn’t reply. He merely spoke slowly, “Do you want to see what’s inside?”

“I naturally wish to. But can you open it?” Zhen Zhilan was filled with anticipation and shock as she asked.

The Shrine in the imperial capital researched for a long time. Even after her grandfather obtained this, he had no clues on how to open it.

Xia Qingchen sighed. It was because only two people could open this pouch.

One was him, the other person was Frost.
