C21 The Place Where You Sold Your Slaves!

Lu Yuanxi and Leng Manyu left the study room. Leng Manyu was silent, but Lu Yuanxi could tell that he was not in a good mood.

Leng Manyu stopped after walking for a short distance. He turned around and looked at Lu Yuanxi with an unclear expression.

Lu Yuanxi smiled as if he did not know why Leng Manyu would have such an expression.

“What’s wrong? Who made you angry?” Lu Yuanxi asked with a smile.

“You should have brought it with you. Why didn’t you give it to the Grand Tutor?”

Lu Yuanxi’s eyes twitched. The smile on his face faded.

“This seems to be my own problem,” Lu Yuanxi said.

Lu Yuanxi’s tone was heavy, but he thought about how Leng Manyu helped him yesterday. He explained to Leng Manyu patiently, “Leng An, I don’t want to lie to you, but there are some things that I can’t tell you. So don’t ask me questions that I can’t answer. When you’re still willing to treat me as your brother.”

Leng Manyu was silent. His dark eyes stared at Lu Yuanxi.

There seemed to be a lot of things hidden in his eyes. There were many complicated things that Lu Yuanxi could not understand.

Before he could dig deeper, Leng Manyu looked away.

Neither of them spoke again. After a while, Dan Lang and Shu Chenhuan came out of the study room.

“Yuanxi, you… What are you doing here with His Highness?”

Shan Langyuan wanted to call Lu Yuanxi along to the palace, but when he got closer, he realized Leng Manxiu was there too.

Hence, he cleverly changed the topic.

Lu Yuanxi was naturally happy that someone came to break the silence.

“It’s nothing. I was just about to go back.” Lu Yuanxi paused and looked up at the sky. She asked, “It’s not time for school yet, right? You two came out?”

Shan Langyuan glanced at Leng Manxiu. He saw him standing there expressionlessly, but there was an indescribable look on his face.

However, Shan Langyuan did not think too much about it. In their eyes, Leng Manxiu’s expression was not good!

“Yeah. I heard that a group of new birds came to the bird market today. I heard that these birds will sing when they are well raised. We wanted to go and take a look. Maybe we can buy some birds that we like.”

“How many?”

The corner of Lu Yuanxi’s mouth twitched.

It was already noisy enough, but he still wanted to buy “how many?”!

He really could not understand the life of a playboy…

“How is it, Yuanxi? Do you want to come with us?” Shu Chenhuan asked.

Lu Yuanxi glanced at Leng Manxiu, but the latter did not respond. He seemed to be waiting for his answer.

Lu Yuanxi smiled and nodded. “Of course.”

Lu Yuanxi took two steps and stood beside Leng Manxiu. She stood parallel to him.

He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Leng Mo, if you don’t interfere in my class, I will still call you a friend. But if you insist, I can only say that we are not on the same page.”

However, I will still protect you. Even if I repay you for the kindness you showed me in your previous life, it will only end here.

Lu Yuanxi thought to herself.

Leng Manxiu’s fingertips trembled slightly. However, the slight tremble was hidden in his sleeves. Other than himself, no one else knew.

Leng Manxiu did not speak. Lu Yuanxi did not know if he heard it or not.

“Leng Mo, I… will say this.”

After saying that, Lu Yuanxi walked away. She left with Shu Chenhuan and Shan Langyuan without stopping.
