Jingzhe immediately backed down. If he fought with the young lady, how could he dare to fight back? The young lady would not give him face, so he could only take a slap in the face.

He crossed his arms and walked leisurely into the room, his face still dark. Under Nian Susu's stern gaze, he softened his tone, "I know I was wrong, Miss. I promise I won't say bad things about him in front of you anymore."

"You said it secretly behind my back, right?" Nian Susu looked like he said, "I don't know you yet."

Jingzhe laughed twice.

Zhihua put the box away and came over to help Jingzhe speak, "Miss, this is not the first day you have known him. He is always harsh in his words, but he actually has a kind heart."

Jingzhe deliberately retorted to her: "Although I have a mean mouth, I actually have a bad heart too."

"Tsk!" Zhihua patted Nian Susu's back and signaled Jingzhe to leave, otherwise with his outspoken nature, he would make the young lady angry again.

Jingzhe's eyes rolled and he almost forgot about the important matter.

"Miss, I..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a sound from the window behind the screen, as if someone had opened it.

Jingzhe immediately became alert, Zhihua was frightened and clung to Nian Susu's shoulders anxiously.

Nian Susu patted the back of her hand to calm her down.

They were talking in the outer room. Behind the screen was the soft couch that Nian Su Su used for naps, which was placed next to the window. Who on earth could sneak into the prime minister's residence in broad daylight without being noticed?

It seems that the opponent should not be underestimated.

The master and his servant looked at each other.

Jingzhe winked at Zhihua, asking her to take Nian Susu to hide in the corner, while he tiptoed to the screen, ready to find out what was going on.

He didn't have any weapons to defend himself, so if a fight broke out he could only fight with physical force.

With a muffled sound, the man jumped in.

Jingzhe dodged and went behind the screen.

Nian Susu's heart was in his throat.

There were sounds of fighting coming from behind the screen, but... the two seemed to have only exchanged two or three moves. This meant that one of them was highly skilled in martial arts and defeated the enemy with one move, while the other didn't even have a chance to fight back.

Is it the Awakening of Zhe, or...

Before she could think about it, Jingzhe was grabbed by the back of the neck and dragged out. Her eyes moved upwards and finally landed on the golden butterfly mask. Behind the mask, a pair of tender and affectionate phoenix eyes were smiling at her.

Nian Susu blinked, wondering if he had seen it wrong. Why did Xuanji come here? Could it be for the detoxification? But didn't she already give him a prescription and ask him to find the herbs? If it wasn't because of this, then there was only one possibility, which was related to his poison attack a few days ago.

"Miss Nian, it's really not easy to see you. I still have to fight a few moves with your people." Xuanji joked and pushed Jingzhe forward. The man staggered a few steps and fell back behind Nian Susu.

"Miss..." Jingzhe felt guilty.

He never thought that the person behind the screen was the owner of the manor, and he was subdued before he could even make a move. How embarrassing! How could he dare to say that he came from Tianxuan Manor!

Jingzhe was upset, and the owner of the manor must be very disappointed.

He thought about it and found it strange. The eldest lady clearly said that she and the owner of the manor just met by chance, so why would the owner secretly climb through the window to see her? The owner of the manor is a gentleman with good character. He would never do such a thing if there was no reason.

Moreover, the owner of the manor hates having to do with royal family members the most. The eldest daughter is the daughter of the prime minister, and her father is the prime minister. He has close contacts with the royal family, so the owner of the manor should avoid them as much as possible.

The relationship between the two of them is definitely not simple!

Guessing this, Jingzhe carefully looked up at Xuanji. Through the mask, he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he always felt that the owner's eyes were not friendly, and this feeling was familiar!

Nian Susu glanced at Jingzhe, who was blushing and lowering his head behind him, and couldn't help laughing. He looked as nervous as a little girl attending her idol's fan meeting. He didn't know where to put his hands or what expression to make on his face.

She smiled at Xuan Ji, "Okay, don't scare him. He admires you very much. If you scare him this time, he will hide when he sees you next time."

This is to the extent that Jingzhe will have to sit up and scold himself if he falls asleep tonight.

Xuan Ji cleared his throat twice, pulled a round stool and sat down opposite her, "He was the one who scared me first, how could Miss Nian be the first to complain."

Nian Susu was a protective person and immediately started arguing with him, "Who told you to sneak into my house? It was obviously you who made the mistake first. Jingzhe was just doing his duty. It's good enough that he didn't hit you."

Xuan Ji: "He can't beat me."

It seems that Nian Su Su has a droopy face.

But this is not a reason for him to break into a private house!

Although Jingzhe is a martial arts expert, he has no chance of winning against Xuanji.

"Miss, Master, please stop arguing. It's my fault." Jingzhe said unhappily, "I was too impulsive and almost hurt the Master."

Nian Susu looked like she had seen a ghost. She had known Jingzhe for so long, but she had never seen him give in to anyone. Even though he was obedient in front of her, he was also very strong. His style of doing things was always "if someone throws mud at me, I will punch him to death", and he always had the attitude of "if you don't like me, you can die". She and Jingzhe were quite similar in these two aspects.

Especially when facing Qin Junyu, Jingzhe never had a good face, and ten out of ten words he said were sarcastic. But now in front of Xuanji, Jingzhe seemed to have changed into a different person, pretending to be a model student.

Is this the case of one thing conquering another?

Xuan Ji said disdainfully, "With your strength, you can't hurt me."

Jingzhe was not angry at all, and nodded happily, "The owner is right, I still have a lot to learn."

Year Susu: ???

Xuan Ji frowned, also feeling surprised, this kid actually has such an obedient side? He clenched his fists, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc.

"Miss Nian just said that you admire me very much?"

Jingzhe patted the back of his head in embarrassment, "Hehe, the owner of the manor is extremely courageous, brave and resourceful, and his martial arts are so powerful that no one can defeat him. Who in Tianxuan Mountain Manor doesn't admire the owner?"

Nian Susu found it hard to imagine such words coming out of Jingzhe's mouth. She closed her eyes and exhaled, thinking that she must have opened them in the wrong way.

Xuan Ji said "hmm" and then asked, "Are you from the Time Order Department?"

"The owner of the manor remembers me?" Jingzhe was surprised.

"do not remember."

Jingzhe's bright eyes gradually dimmed. Well, the owner of the manor was busy with all kinds of affairs, so how could he remember a nobody like him?

The names of the twelve people in the Time Division were all chosen from the twelve solar terms: Beginning of Spring, Waking of Insects, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Beginning of Summer... It was not surprising that the owner of the manor could guess that he was from the Time Division. He was just overthinking.

Nian Susu found it funny to see Jingzhe being humiliated.

Your Highness, you don’t have to be strong anymore, because your strength is here.

Jingzhe - avoid lightning for everyone and push the mystery alone.

Xuanji asked him a few more questions about Tianxuan Villa, and Jingzhe told him one by one. They chatted enthusiastically, and when they were still not satisfied, Xuanji waved his hand and asked him to leave.
