Chapter 218 Chu Lian exposes the lie
"That's good." Dongfang Wan'er nodded slightly, her eyes full of satisfaction!
With a faint smile on his lips, he said, "But Dark Night, could you teach me too? I really want to learn, especially lightness skill."
"Look, I always see Ye Jiuchen flying back and forth so gracefully, like a bird soaring freely. His elegant demeanor makes me so envious!"
Her bright eyes sparkled with anticipation, as if she had already clearly pictured herself as light as a swallow, flying freely in the air—a dreamlike scene that filled her with longing.
"Miss, please don't! I will study even harder. You don't need to work so hard to learn martial arts. Learning martial arts is not an easy thing; it's quite tiring!"
Qiuqin looked at Dongfang Wan'er with a worried expression, her eyes full of concern.
In her heart, Dongfang Wan'er was like a flower in a greenhouse, someone who should be protected. How could she be allowed to experience the hardships and tribulations of learning martial arts?
That would be too cruel for the young lady.
"Silly girl, you don't understand. I'm learning martial arts so I can protect myself! I can't let you always step up to protect me when I'm in danger. Besides, if I learn lightness skill, at least I won't have any problem escaping if I encounter danger in the future!"
Dongfang Wan'er patiently explained, gently reaching out to pat Qiuqin's head tenderly, her eyes full of doting affection and tenderness, like an older sister comforting her beloved little sister.
Qiuqin frowned slightly after hearing Dongfang Wan'er's words, a thoughtful look in her eyes, and then nodded thoughtfully.
“What Miss said makes sense. Dark Night, I want to learn lightness skill too…”
Qiuqin looked at An Ye with a serious expression, her eyes filled with determination, like a rock that had made up its mind and remained unwavering.
"Your Highness, let's wait until the Prince wakes up before discussing your martial arts training!"
An Ye looked troubled. He dared not agree to teach Dongfang Wan'er martial arts on his own. If the prince woke up and felt sorry for the princess's hard work, he would blame him, and he could not bear the consequences.
"Do I need Ye Jiuchen's permission to learn lightness skill? Hmph, no way, An Ye, if you won't teach me, I'll find someone else to teach me!" Dongfang Wan'er raised her eyebrows and said stubbornly.
"This...Your Highness, aren't you making things difficult for your subordinate?" An Ye looked at Dongfang Wan'er with a helpless expression, secretly lamenting in his heart.
"Then how about this: you teach Qiuqin, and then Qiuqin teaches me, right?"
Seeing An Ye's troubled expression, Dongfang Wan'er really didn't want to make things difficult for him any longer, so she came up with this compromise.
"I think this plan will work, Commander An, please agree to Miss's request!"
Qiuqin blinked her big, watery eyes and looked pitifully at An Ye; no one could bear to refuse her.
Looking at Qiuqin's pitiful appearance, An Ye's heart softened, and he had no choice but to nod in agreement. "Alright..."
Just as Dongfang Wan'er and Qiuqin were cheering with joy!
"What are you doing? How long have I been asleep? I feel like I'm starving, but there's not a single person here..."
A voice, tinged with a lazy yet somewhat complaining tone, suddenly rang out; it was Chu Lian.
Dongfang Wan'er frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. Why was this guy still here? He was like a persistent ghost.
"What are you doing here?" An Ye heard the voice and hurriedly turned around. He saw Chu Lian and thought to himself, "Oh no, how could I have forgotten about this guy? Has he been sleeping all this time?"
"Hey, do you guys have anything to eat? I'm starving! Hey, Dongfang Wan'er, do you have any conscience? I at least helped you save Ye Jiuchen!"
Chu Lian sensed that these people seemed unhappy to see him, and a nameless anger welled up inside him. He shouted angrily.
"Chu Lian, don't forget your place. There's no food for you here." Dongfang Wan'er glanced at him coldly, her tone as icy as winter frost.
"My identity? What identity do you mean? Dongfang Wan'er, I am your man's savior! Is this how you three treat your benefactor?" Chu Lian was so angry that his face turned red, and he roared like an enraged lion.
"Dark Night, give him some food, and leave as soon as he finishes eating." Dongfang Wan'er, no longer wanting to get entangled with Chu Lian, impatiently turned around and ordered Dark Night.
Chu Lian took the food, plopped down in the chair, and began to wolf it down. As he ate, he kept staring at Dongfang Wan'er, secretly vowing to marry the woman who had captivated him.
Meanwhile, Qiuqin whispered to An Ye, "Brother An Ye, when you teach me lightness skills later, could you also teach me how to use a whip? I think whips are really powerful. If I learn how to use them, I can better protect Miss."
"Okay, but you need to practice hard." Dark Night agreed with a smile, his eyes full of encouragement.
"Hmph," I frowned, my face full of displeasure, "Where is that guy Ye Jiuchen? I went through so much trouble and paid such a high price to pull him back from the brink of death, where is he now?"
At this moment, Chu Lian was sitting comfortably in Qiu Qin's room, looking as at ease as if he were in his own home.
Before him lay a feast of various delicacies, which he devoured without any regard for his image. His cheeks bulged out like a greedy hamster, and his mouth was smeared with oil. His eating manners were utterly unsightly, completely lacking the demeanor expected of a prince of Chu.
Dongfang Wan'er already disliked Chu Lian, and seeing his behavior and hearing his words only made her more disgusted.
“I say, Crown Prince of Chu,” Dongfang Wan’er said with a furrowed brow and a stiff tone, “finish eating all this and leave now! Our score is settled, and we owe each other nothing from now on. You have no reason to stay here any longer.”
She now desperately hopes that Chu Lian can disappear from her sight as soon as possible, so that she won't be bothered by seeing him.
"Hmph, I'm not leaving!" Chu Lian slammed down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand. With a "crack," the bowl and chopsticks shattered on the ground. He stood up abruptly, his eyes full of defiance.
"You!" Dongfang Wan'er's chest heaved violently with anger, her finger trembling as she pointed at Chu Lian. This guy was truly despicable, completely disregarding her words.
"I want to see Ye Jiuchen," Chu Lian said arrogantly, arms crossed and chin slightly raised. "I went to great lengths and expended a lot of effort to save him, so why shouldn't I be allowed to see him?"
"You're a complete scoundrel!"
Dongfang Wan'er's eyes widened in anger. "Didn't you hear me say 'leave'? Do I have to use special methods? Don't forget, you still have the Gu poison I planted in your body!"
