Chapter 412: Chapter 296 She is little...

Outside Linlu Academy.

At the end of a bustling street, within a quiet, secluded alley.

One male and two females.

The three stared at each other, wide-eyed.

The alley fell into a darkness-like silence.

Dressed in men’s clothing and wearing a pink headband, a young girl with charming peach-blossom eyes stood with her arms crossed.

On her small face, an expression that said, "As I thought, you’ve been secretly doing something unspeakable behind my back" dawned on her.

At this moment, Zhao Rong’s face was full of helplessness.

Originally, he had wanted to just enjoy the show, watching Qing Jun and Qian’er playfully squabble as they used to in the past, while secretly listening to what else Qian’er might reveal about her ’explosive gossip’.

However... he had not expected the fire to burn towards him.

It caught him completely off guard.

Speaking of which, how does this little girl, whose hair hasn’t even grown out fully, have such a keen sense of smell in this area?

Not going after killers, solving cases, or catching adulterers seems such a waste—what’s the point in her training with the sword then...

Zhao Rong, speechless, glanced at Qian’er who was satisfied after their "adultery" accusation.

At this moment, she clung tightly to his right arm, as if afraid that this freshly accused ’adulterous husband’ would run away.

Zhao Rong felt extremely disgraced.

And what made him feel even more disgraced was... his pig-headed teammate.

Zhao Rong’s mouth twitched.

Because he saw from the corner of his eye, Qing Jun, who had initially been glaring at Qian’er like him.

But now, whether out of shyness or something else,

under Qian’er’s triumphant gaze, the young lady shifted her gaze away guiltily, then pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly, and a blush that resembled morning glow bloomed across her cheeks.

Like the dazzling blossoms of peach trees in the sunny March weather.

But at this moment, Zhao Rong was in no mood to appreciate this beauty’s blushed cheeks.

He couldn’t help but reach out and rub his forehead.

Annoyed, he glanced at Qing Jun who had confessed without being tortured.

Speaking of which, my lady, why did you become so foolish now, when just a moment ago, you were aggressively interrogating me?

Who knows if Qian’er is just bluffing us.

If the two of us just stared at her, no matter what the little girl said, she wouldn’t have any evidence; we just had to vehemently deny everything.

Even if you, my lady, couldn’t find an excuse, staying silent and letting me take the lead would have been fine as well.

But now...

Zhao Rong looked again at Qing Jun’s clumsy demeanor; anyone who wasn’t a fool could see that something was fishy.

Facing the clever and nimble girl dressed as a boy beside him.

"Well then, so it really is like this, you...you’ve both been secretly playing this, how...how embarrassing this is,"

Zhao Qian’er gasped in shock, revealing two small pearly white teeth.

The little girl, riding the waves of her advantage, eloquently said:

"Come on, admit it. Aren’t you two also playing other shameless games? You’re really good at playing, so shameless, shameless, shameless..."

She widened her peach blossom eyes.

While muttering the words ’so shameless’ repeatedly, she raised her thin arm and stretched out a finger to poke Zhao Rong and Lingfei’s cheeks.

Lingfei, while shrinking back and dodging Zhao Qian’er’s poking finger, frowned and whispered a few words in defense, but it sounded utterly weak to Zhao Rong’s ears.

"No, it’s not what you’re thinking, Qian’er, don’t speak nonsense..."

Zhao Rong grabbed the little girl poking his cheek by the wrist and threw her hand away irritably.

Zhao Qian’er, habitually tilting her head, contested, "Not what I think? Then what is it? Rong’er brother, what do you need the young lady’s clothes for?"

Zhao Rong’s head was full of black lines.

He opened his mouth but then slowly closed it again.

Because in Zhao Rong’s view, not only was Qian’er’s face flushed but still curiously looking at him,

even Qing Jun, after mumbling a few words, couldn’t help but sneak a glance at him upon hearing this.

This pair of young lady and maid seemed very curious about this awkward question.

Zhao Rong felt extremely embarrassed.

He looked left and right at the two people in front of him.

If I say that these days, I haven’t done anything strange at all, would you believe me?

Zhao Rong was about to speak.

From the day he received that ’special autumn clothes’ to now,

he had been either cultivating or reading and writing every night.

Lately, he had been staying up all night grading assignments; he had not slept at all. Where would he have the time to frivolously waste his energy on shameful things?

Besides, previously, there was a certain troublemaking Sword Spirit watching in Heart Lake.

Though it seems to be asleep now, who knows when it might suddenly wake up—especially at a most embarrassing moment.

Scaring Zhao Rong in such a way... well, a ’post-traumatic stress disorder’ would definitely be inevitable.

Startled by the ’bird’?

Zhao Rong felt it was very likely.

He always assumed the worst about Gui, so he also anticipated that it could get fierce to this extent...

"What are you all thinking? Day by day, not learning good things. You too, Qing Jun, following the little girl’s nonsense."

Facing two pairs of curious eyes, Zhao Rong frowned and shook his head.

He turned to Lingfei and said softly:

"Qing Jun, about those autumn clothes you brought me last time... did you accidentally include an extra piece among those robes? It was mixed in. No worries, I’ve kept it for you, and I’ll return it later. Silly wife, you should be more careful next time. Don’t misplace your clothes everywhere."

Lingfei: "..."

At that moment, the woman, radiant as peach blossoms, was momentarily dazed.

She looked down, biting her lip and staring at the ground, then earnestly nodded her head.

"Mhm, I was wondering... why it disappeared."
