Chu Tian tried his best to calm himself down as he sat back down at the seat next to Xuanyuan Feng, his voice trembling slightly.

"My apologies, but this humble one has been impolite. The Regent doesn't know that the things drawn by your consort have truly shocked this humble one. Moreover, one person would like to see more of these things."

Xuanyuan Yun said coldly, but a trace of undetectable profoundness flashed past his eyes.

"Your Vice Pavilion Master?"

Chu Tian nodded his head, "That's right, that's right. Moreover, whether these things can be forged or not is up to the Vice Pavilion Master to decide."

Oh?

The corner of Xuanyuan Wentian's eyebrows raised, he did not know when there had been such a Vice Pavilion Master in Dragon Reaches, even Chu Tian had listened to his orders.

After half an incense stick of time, those who listened to his orders returned. They knelt outside the main hall and returned with loud voices.

"Reporting to Pavilion Master, the Vice Pavilion Master has said that he will always stay in the furnace tonight. Even if the sky collapses, he won't come out. If there's anything that needs to be done, we have to wait until tomorrow."

"This …"

Chu Tian anxiously stood up from his chair and looked at Xuanyuan Yun.

"Regent, can you wait a day?"

Chu Tian's expression caused Ru Feng and Wei An to look at each other. They could be said to have come to ask for help from the Dragon Reaching Pavilion, but why was Chu Ling's expression now like he was begging them? "Strange …

After careful consideration, the gazes of the two could not help but fall onto Xiao Lan. Could it be that Lan Yi's drawing had shocked Chu Tian too much that he had forgotten who was the real owner of the painting?

Xuanyuan Wentian's expression was still as indifferent as before, and no one could tell what he was thinking. After a moment, he smiled lightly at Chu Tian.

"I assume that your Vice Pavilion Master is also an extraordinary person. So what if I wait for a day?"

Xuanyuan Yun's words made it clear that Chu Tian needed something from him.

Like the wind, An Ran slightly lowered her eyes as an indescribable look of silence appeared on her face.

Hearing this, Chu Tian laughed happily and shouted.

"Alright, alright."

Finished speaking, Chu Tian turned around to give orders to his underlings.

"Hurry and prepare the best guest rooms, and invite the Regent and his wife to rest."

"Yes."

The servants of the Sleeping Dragon Pavilion were very efficient. They cleaned up the guest rooms in a few moments.

Xuanyuan Yun, Xiao Lan stood up and headed towards the guest room. On the way, she whispered into Xuanyuan Yun's ear like the wind.

"Your Royal Highness, Shadow has come to the Sleeping Dragon Pavilion."

Xuanyuan Wentian's footsteps paused and his gaze became slightly misty. "Let him see this king."

"Yes."

Xiao Lan slightly tilted her head to look at the master and servant pair, who were filled with secrets, and silently went to her room.

Xuanyuan: She's not interested in secrets.

Chu Tian had truly treated them all as distinguished guests. He had used the best in the guest rooms, and the luxurious equipment was not inferior to the Wang Residence's equipment.

Xiao Lan walked to the window and poured a cup of tea for himself. He looked outside the window with a deep and calculating expression on his face.

Red Lotus asked for a bath barrel and prepared some hot water. After everything was ready, she walked to Xiao Lan's side with light footsteps and said slowly.

"Princess, the hot water is ready. Go take a bath. You've worked hard for a day, rest early."

Xiao Lan turned around to look at the red lotus and lightly nodded.

"Alright, got it. You go out first."

"Yes." Red Lotus obediently withdrew from the room.

Xiao Lan put down her teacup, stood up and walked to the back of the screen. She withdrew the purple silk on her body and stepped into the bath barrel without taking anything else, gradually immersing herself in the warm water.

The comfortable temperature of the water caused Xiao Lan to heave a long sigh of relief. It was only when she was soaked in the warm water did she realize how exhausted she was.

Xiao Lan closed her eyes and leaned back against the edge of the wooden barrel. Her black hair flowed in the water, and her exquisite body became increasingly enchanting under the warm water.

Anyone who saw such a beautiful scene would be captivated by it, giving birth to the most primitive of instincts.

Xiao Lan maintained this expression for a long time without moving.

At this moment, she couldn't help but think back to what Chu Tian had said.

Whether or not he could forge a crossbow weapon all depended on the Vice Pavilion Master's decision …

This meant that this Vice Pavilion Master was the most important person for her to resolve this matter.

If she didn't want to cause chaos in the world, she had to stop the Vice Pavilion Master from forging the sharp weapons on the paper.

Xiao Lan slowly opened her eyes. Her clear eyes that were like a thin line in the water were so breathtaking that no one dared to look straight at her.

Xiao Lan stretched out his arm and tapped the edge of the wooden bucket evenly with the tip of his finger.

Tomorrow, when she met this Vice Pavilion Master, she wanted to find an opportunity to have a private conversation with him. If she could stop him, she could stop him. If she couldn't …

Xiao Lan's tapping fingers suddenly stopped.

If that was the case, she could only choose the most straightforward method to kill him!

After a moment, the water in the bath barrel started to cool down. Xiao Lan looked around her but didn't see any towel or clothes. She could not help but smile helplessly, this girl, Hong Lian actually forgot to leave her clothes.

Xiao Lan called out to the door, "Red Lotus, give me a piece of clothing."

Not long after, the sound of steady footsteps came from outside the screen as a set of clothes was delivered to Xiao Lan's side.

Xiao Lan didn't turn around to casually receive the clothes. Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly noticed a wisp of white clothes.

For a moment, Xiao Lan's entire body froze, then he quickly turned his head to look back, and after seeing clearly, his entire body sank into the water.

"Xuanyuan, why are you here!"

The person currently standing behind Xiao Lan is the white-clothed Xuanyuan Yun.

In the face of Xiao Lan's questioning, Xuanyuan Yun still had a calm and indifferent expression as his gaze calmly fell on Xiao Lan.

When she saw Xuanyuan Yun's line of sight, Xiao Lan sank even deeper into the water.

It was a good thing that the candles were not lit. Otherwise, even if she, Xiao Lan, dived her head into the water, Xuanyuan Feng would still be able to clearly see every corner of her body.

"The red lotus is not here." Xuanyuan Guanqing spat out these four words coldly.

Xiao Lan narrowed his eyes. Even if the red lotus wasn't there, how could he just casually enter her room?

Xiao Lan's expression turned bone-chilling for a moment. "Please, Lord Regent, leave this lady's room!"

This girl?

Xuanyuan Wentian's originally leaving footsteps couldn't help but pause when he heard these three words. His clear and cold eyes slowly turned towards Xiao Lan before he actually walked straight towards Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan was shocked and quickly submerged his entire body into the water, leaving only a head on the surface.

Xuanyuan Guxing arrived beside Xiao Lan and looked down at her condescendingly. From his angle, even if Candle was in the dark, he could clearly see Xiao Lan's underwater figure.

Xiao Lan instantly became angry from embarrassment. Just as he was about to roar in anger, Xuanyuan Feng suddenly bent down and met Xiao Lan's eyes with his own, and the distance between them was even closer to their noses.

Xiao Lan instantly froze on the spot, the words that she was about to say choked in her throat. Her thin vermilion lips dazedly maintained a slightly widened state.

Due to the close proximity, Xiao Lan could clearly see every movement in Xuanyuan Wentian's eyes, every flicker of his eyelashes, and every inch of flawless skin on his face.

Xiao Lan's breathing abruptly stopped.

At this moment, she deeply experienced what it meant to be devastatingly beautiful from a man.

Xiao Lan was completely dazed.
