After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 30: The Teahouse Incident



Chapter 30: The Teahouse Incident

"Your Highness, Green Bamboo and I will go for a stroll elsewhere and come back to see you later..."

Gan Luo picked up his fan and smacked them both on the head.

"You called me by the wrong name again. You should call me Young Master."

"Young master, this servant understands!"

Watching the two of them run away, Gan Luo couldn't help but smile.

Gan Luo looked up at the teahouse with considerable curiosity.

"Young master, shall we go into the teahouse now?"

Gan Luo nodded slightly, indicating that he was definitely heading to the teahouse.

The two then went to the teahouse together.

Inside the teahouse, Zhao Wuji served tea and water to Lin Fengmian and Xin Ruyu without a single complaint.

"Esteemed guests, you are here now..."

"A private room on the second floor will suffice."

Gan Luo spoke casually, occasionally glancing at one of the private rooms on the second floor.

"That private room, young master, was booked by a prince..."

The waiter noticed that Gan Luo was staring at the private room on the second floor and couldn't help but remind him.

"How do you know that the person who booked this private room is a prince?"

"Because I just heard him refer to himself as 'King'."

It seems this person has good judgment.

Xin Ruyu sensed that someone had arrived, and it seemed to be someone he knew.

I looked around but couldn't see anyone at all.

However, they focused their attention on Gan Luo.

He felt that the young man in front of him was quite familiar, especially his aura.

It seems like I've seen it somewhere before.

They then decided to make contact with the two young men.

Xin Ruyu walked downstairs and stood in front of Gan Luo.

"Young master, would you mind coming upstairs for a cup of tea?"

Lin Fengmian squinted at the man, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Xin Ruyu was able to subtly sense the aura emanating from Lin Fengmian.

Although Lin Fengmian was expressionless, one could tell that he probably wanted to kill him.

For some reason, I felt that I had seen this aura of Lin Fengmian somewhere before.

"This young man in white, have we met somewhere before?"

He couldn't help but ask Lin Fengmian this question.

Where did you see Lin Fengmian? And how could you possibly tell this person?

"There are countless people in this world who look alike, sir. Perhaps I am an old friend of yours."

Gan Luo never expected Lin Fengmian to be so sharp-tongued.

His answers to the questions were neither humble nor arrogant, and there wasn't a single clue in them.

Gan Luo usually underestimated him.

Gan Luo cleared his throat and coughed a few times.

"This young master is a good friend of mine, and we have known each other for many years. I think you have mistaken me for someone else."

Xin Ruyu was not one to fuss over trivial matters, and immediately burst into laughter.

"In that case, may we invite you two gentlemen upstairs..."

Gan Luo had originally intended to watch the show, and now that he was following Xin Ruyu up there, wouldn't he be able to see it even more clearly?

"Since you have extended such a warm invitation, it would be a disservice to your refined taste if I were to refuse."

The three then went to a private room.

Gan Luo saw Zhao Wuji's figure and found it somewhat laughable.

He had a gloomy look on his face, as if someone owed him something.

But upon seeing Xin Ruyu's arrival, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Turning around, they saw Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian, and the two of them were slightly surprised.

Why do I feel like I've seen these two people somewhere before?

Xin Ruyu saw that he had almost finished ordering Zhao Wuji around. After all, this man was the son of the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty. If he went too far, wouldn't that be a bit...

"Let's all sit here together."

His gaze fell upon Zhao Wuji, who suddenly realized what was happening and then sat down to the side.

Xin Ruyu meant for him to be with them...

If that's the case, does it mean that Xin Ruyu's attitude towards him has changed?

Suddenly, I realized that everything I had just done wasn't so bad after all.

After all, for Zhao Wuji, it would be helpful to him to get along well with Xin Ruyu.

But why do these two young men beside Xin Ruyu look so familiar?

But I couldn't remember it at that moment.

I couldn't help but mutter to myself, "They really let us down at the crucial moment."

Gan Luo knew what Zhao Wuji was thinking and couldn't help but laugh. He wondered what kind of expression Zhao Wuji would have if he knew he was Gan Luo.

"Why don't we all introduce ourselves now?"

Xin Ruyu stood up and brought up the matter.

"Naturally, there are no problems at all."

Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian introduced themselves to each other and even made up a fake identity for one another.

Surprisingly, Xin Ruyu and Zhao Wuji actually believed it.

Gan Luo thought the two men were a bit stupid.

"I've finished introducing him to you, now it's your turn."

When Zhao Wuji saw Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian, he knew that they had no status, so they were naturally smug and overconfident.

When he introduced himself as the son of the Grand Tutor, his face was filled with pride.

However, Gan Luo didn't care at all.

After all, his father was the Grand Tutor, while he was merely the Grand Tutor's son; there was still a difference between them.

If the person in front of us were a Grand Tutor, the imperial court would probably be in complete chaos.

"It's all fate that brings us together today. I'd like to raise a toast to everyone."

Gan Luo was about to pick up his wine glass to drink when Lin Fengmian took it from him.

"Gentlemen, I apologize, but Young Master Lin is not fit to drink alcohol. I will drink this cup on his behalf."

Gan Luo turned to look at Lin Fengmian after his wine cup was snatched from his hand.

When did his little shadow guard become so assertive? This surprised Gan Luo a bit.

"It's alright, it's alright, you can drink it for this young master."

However, based on their conversation, Xin Ruyu felt that he had indeed seen this young man in black somewhere before.

The aura emanating from this young master Lin was exactly the same as that of Gan Luo and the other two.

If it weren't for the fact that this person's voice was indistinguishable from a man's, one would really think that this was a woman in disguise.

As Xin Ruyu sized up Gan Luo, Zhao Wuji was also secretly observing him from the side.

"This person could be the eldest princess."

But then I thought again, the eldest princess should be in her residence, how could she possibly come to a place like this? And given the eldest princess's temper, she might just tear this place down.

Gan Luo sensed their inner thoughts and couldn't help but ponder them.

If Gan Luo were truly the eldest princess, what would their expressions be like?

"Are you two gentlemen going to remain silent for now?"

"It's nothing, I just think you look like an old friend of mine."

Xin Ruyu withdrew his gaze, thinking it must be a coincidence.
