Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 271 What I Seek

She was slightly startled; what keen insight!

"What are you looking at?"

Feng Siyue snapped out of her daze, reached out and closed the window. "It's nothing, it's just raining heavily, don't catch a cold."

"It's okay, the glutinous rice balls are very warming."

Xuan Li proudly raised the glutinous rice ball.

"squeak."

The little guy flicked its tail.

“Ah Li, let’s rent a new courtyard. Feng Ning’s courtyard is no longer safe.”

Feng Siyue said.

These past few days, she could always sense a faint presence outside the courtyard. She disliked the feeling of being constantly watched, as if she had no freedom at all.

"Row."

Xuan Li didn't care; it didn't matter where he stayed.

“I’ll go check it out later.”

On the street, Jia seemed to withdraw her gaze.

"Have you found those two from yesterday?"

Galo shook her head. "No, we lost track of the people who went with them and couldn't get any clues."

A bunch of useless trash.

The young man felt a slight sneer in his heart, and a pair of eyes appeared in his mind.

Those eyes seemed familiar.

Is she a daughter of the Bai family?

Jia's lips curled slightly.

I was willing to let you go, but you didn't appreciate it...

Then, don't blame him.

Jia Si said, "The son of the Bai family has returned to Qianshui City again."

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately warned, "Gasi, now is not the time!"

She knew what the man wanted to say, but the daughter of the Bai family might possess supernatural powers, and besides...

She thought of that person's talent and felt a pang of pity.

Jia's expression turned cold at some point. "So, you already knew they were back."

Jialuo's hand trembled, but he didn't say anything.

Jia Si said slowly, "Don't worry, I wouldn't risk the lives of my people. They can't, but the others must be taken action."

As they spoke, they arrived in front of a rather luxurious house.

Hua Zongtang and his family waited here.

Hua Rouzhi hid behind her father, peeking through the gaps in the crowd at the people getting off the carriage. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she unconsciously revealed the demeanor of a young girl.

Ga-soo, you look so good.

The man had fair skin, and his handsome features were like a masterpiece sculpted by God. His eyes held a subtle light, as if they could speak.

He was dressed in the most ordinary black clothes, yet every move he made revealed an air of unyielding nobility.

'boom!boom! '

Without realizing it, her heart started beating much faster.

As if sensing her gaze, Jia smiled slightly at her.

With that smile, Hua Rouzhi seemed to see spring in full bloom and the ice melting away!

She paused, blushed, and quickly lowered her head.

He smiled at me!

Do you like me too?

Hua Rouzhi was no longer calm.

"It is a great blessing for our Huazongtang that Young Master Jiasi has come to our humble abode!"

"Hahahaha!"

Hua Zongtang hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.

Jia coughed lightly twice and addressed the middle-aged man in front of her.

"Patriarch Hua, you are too kind. I am grateful that you were willing to sell me the Blazing Fire Elixir. Otherwise, I fear that my life would have been lost in Qinghe Luozhou."

Hua Zongtang waved his hand, "What are you saying?"

"It's cold and the dew is heavy, please come in, Young Master Jiasi!"

"I have already had a banquet prepared, and I am just waiting for you to take your seat."

Jia Si nodded slightly, "Then I shall accept it without hesitation."

Galo remained silent, bowing her head and supporting him, dutifully playing the role of a maid.

Passing through the courtyard, across the small bridge and flowing water, and witnessing the chrysanthemums in full bloom, Jia Si exclaimed, "The Hua family head's residence perfectly embodies what it means to have dreams and spring flowers in full bloom, surpassing countless others in the mortal world."

These two short words of praise delighted Hua Zongtang. "Young Master Jia Si's literary talent is truly remarkable! I am far inferior to him!"

Jia smiled and said, "I've made a fool of myself. Patriarch Hua is too modest."

Upon arriving at the banquet hall, a maidservant led Jia Si and the other person to their seats on the left.

Hua Zongtang and Madam Hua took their seats at the head of the table, and with a wave of their hands...

"Have a banquet!"

A dozen maids poured in from outside the door, gracefully serving the dishes on trays.

"I wonder when Young Master Jiasi will leave Qianshui City? If there's no rush, the Qinghe Luozhou Academy Tournament is coming up soon, and I would like to invite you to watch the tournament together."

We can't miss this great opportunity to hitch a ride with the Gal caravan.

Hua Zongtang looked down and inadvertently noticed that his daughter's gaze was always vaguely looking at Jia Si, and he immediately understood what was going on.

"The Academy Tournament is renowned, and even though I long for it, the caravan's itinerary is planned by my third uncle. Whether we can stay for the rest of the time, I'm afraid I'll have to go back and ask."

"If possible, I will trouble Patriarch Hua at that time."

Hua Zongtang was not in a hurry. "It's alright, I'll wait for good news."

"By the way, I wonder if Young Master Jia Si is married?"

Speaking of this, Jia seemed a little embarrassed, "With my physique, what girl would be interested in me?"

"Patriarch Hua is joking."

The man laughed heartily, "Isn't this a coincidence?"

“My son is sixteen years old this year, and his cultivation has reached the ninth level of Spirit Master. He is considered quite talented among his peers. Perhaps you two can get along and become friends.”

Hua Zongtang did not immediately express his hope that they would get engaged, because proposing marriage rashly could easily cause resentment and even backfire.

Be friends?

Hua Rouzhi's heart skipped a beat. Her eyes, filled with spring water, met Jia Si's gaze. A moment later, she hurriedly looked away.

Her heart felt as if it had been scalded.

The girl gradually became confused and at a loss.

Jia Si smiled and said, "Miss Hua is gentle and quiet, and being her friend is exactly what I'm looking for."

What do I... seek?
