The Trick to Teasing a Noble Family's Son - Chapter 11

As soon as Wei Lan finished speaking, a group of men in black jumped out from the surrounding area. Xie Zichen looked surprised, and then Wei Lan grabbed his hand and leapt out of the encirclement.

The two groups of people began fighting, and Wei Lan casually threw aside her blade. Making a “please” gesture to Xie Zichen, she said, “Young Master Xie Si, let’s take another route.”

Xie Zichen nodded, tossing his own blade aside. The two of them turned their heads and changed directions. Wei Lan, with her hands tucked in her sleeves and her wooden clogs clattering on the ground, looked up at the bright moon and said, “It seems that this time, it’s the elders who have taken action.”

Xie Zichen didn’t say anything. Of course, he understood that Xie Jie didn’t have the ability to call these assassins. He was just wondering, why did Xie Jie’s father take action in this life when he hadn’t in his last life?

Or, was it even Xie Jie’s father at all?

Xie Zichen lowered his eyes and was deep in thought, while Wei Lan quietly admired Xie Zichen’s beauty. After escorting Xie Zichen to the gates of the Xie residence, Wei Lan finally spoke up with a sigh, “Sending you back home, I can’t bear to part with you.”

“Oh,” Xie Zichen turned around and headed towards the house. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned back, saying, “Although the customs of Chu are open, having such proclivities is ultimately not the proper way. It might hinder your future prospects. I hope you will restrain yourself.”

Hearing this, Wei Lan arched her eyebrows and said gently, “I am like this only to Fourth Young Master Xie.”

Xie Zichen’s face twitched and he felt that he couldn’t stop him, so he simply turned around and left.

After watching Xie Zichen enter his house, Wei Lan turned back to the Changxin Marquis Manor. Halfway there, Ran Mo, wiping the blood from her face, caught up with her and complained, “Miss, you’ve only seen Fourth Young Master Xie a few times, and you’re already so devoted?”

“Devoted?” Wei Lan raised an eyebrow, quite surprised. “Isn’t this the basic respect one should have for a beauty?”

Ran Mo: “…”

“Ran Mo,” Wei Lan said as she strolled through the alleys of the imperial city, looking up at the bright moon and listening to the clattering of her clogs. “Being romantic is also a form of grace.”

Ran Mo: “…”

She thought she must be foolish. How could her young lady ever think in a normal way?

With this thought, she suddenly felt a bit sympathetic towards Xie Zichen. If Xie Zichen were to accidentally fall head over heels for her young lady, only to discover that she treated flirtation as a form of grace…

Ran Mo couldn’t help but shudder, thinking she had better stop her thoughts there.

Back at the Changxin Marquis Residence, Xie Zichen had just entered his room when Xie Tong came up to him respectfully and asked, “Young Master, did your outing go smoothly?”

“Yes.” Xie Zichen waited for Xie Tong to help him remove his outer robe and change into his nightclothes, then sat down in a chair.

Knowing Xie Zichen had something to say, Xie Tong waited quietly. After a moment, Xie Zichen opened his eyes and said calmly, “Someone is watching us. Tomorrow, I will go to the ruined temple in the western suburbs. Follow me with our people but keep your distance. See who is following me or……who leaves halfway.”

“Yes.” Xie Tong immediately understood. Xie Zichen tapped the table, “Also, go to East Ninth Alley and search it. Then have our informants find out who targeted me this time.”

Xie Tong nodded in agreement and, seeing that Xie Zichen had no further instructions, he withdrew.

After Xie Tong left, Xie Zichen clasped and unclasped his hands and closed his eyes.

He needed to wait and be patient.

Xie Tong had been with him since childhood and had died for him in the end. The only person he can use and trust around him now is Xie Tong.

In this lifetime, he wouldn’t let him die again.

After walking out of Xie Zichen’s place, Xie Tong went straight to East Ninth Alley. The alley was littered with corpses. Xie Tong, covering his face, crouched down and at once began examining the bodies.

Blades, clothing, fighting styles…

Just as he was probing into the other party’s clothes, a cold sword was placed against his neck. He didn’t dare to look back when he heard a young boy’s voice behind him, “Who are you, and what are you doing?”

Xie Tong couldn’t help but smirk. Instead of killing him with the blade on his neck, he actually wanted to question him. This person was too confident in himself.

“I…” As soon as he spoke, he blocked the sword with his waist knife and kicked his opponent away!

Under the moonlight stood a young man in a blue robe. He was a bit small and had baby fat still on his face. Without hesitation, Xie Tong turned to leave, but the boy didn’t let him go at all. He jumped in front of him, blocking his path, and shouted, “If you don’t reveal your identity, you won’t leave here alive!”

“Really?” Xie Tong used his steel knife to block the boy’s attack and raised an eyebrow, “Did your face hit the ground when you were born?”

“What do you mean?” The boy frowned, and as they exchanged dozens of moves, Xie Tong coldly said, “Your face is too big!”

“You!” The boy’s expression changed and his sword became faster in an instant. Xie Tong felt the pressure but still didn’t forget to taunt, “Why are you throwing a tantrum like a woman? Looking at your delicate skin, could it be that you are actually a female? Tsk tsk…”

Xie Tong had just happened to stop her waist with a hand and the youth’s face changed, wielding the sword like a knife and slashing at him while angrily saying, “I’ll kill you!”

“Hey, your waist is pretty thin.” Seeing the other person getting angry, Xie Tong couldn’t help but continue even though he felt the pressure on him getting harder are harder, “Come on, let me touch you again to see if you have…”

Before he could say “breasts,” the boy suddenly sped up and appeared right in front of him in an instant, slashing straight at him with the sword! Xie Tong’s expression changed drastically, retreating quickly. The opponent followed him closely, and Xie Tong, hitting the wall could barely block the other sword.

With only their swords between them, the boy glared at him fiercely, as if wanting to eat him alive. Xie Tong’s heart sank. Was he going to fail the mission so soon?

No longer daring to be careless, Xie Tong’s eyes gradually became serious. Seeing the other’s change in attitude, Ran Mo who had only come back to look for something, finally slowly came to her senses and realised one thing—the other party had been teasing her.

Thinking of this, Ran Mo’s anger flared up and she smirked, “ You are feeling happy using your mouth to your advantage, right?”

    Xie Tong didn’t speak. He frowned, feeling that something was wrong. Ran Mo looked at his seemingly panicked eyes and remembered Wei Lan’s words.

— When dealing with a man, if one kiss cannot solve the problem, then use two.

Teasing her?

It was still unknown who was teasing whom!

Ran Mo’s anger peaked and with their swords still crossed, she suddenly kissed him!

As their soft lips met, Xie Tong showed a horrified expression, kicking her away, and shouting angrily, “Ah! You pervert!”

Ran Mo somersaulted, kneeling on one knee and wiping her mouth with her sleeve. Xie Tong seemed to have collapsed, covering his mouth with one hand and holding a knife in front of him with the other.

Ran Mo raised the corner of her lips and sneered, “If you don’t tell me what you’re here for, I’ll kiss you again right now!”

Xie Tong: “…”

Master, what should I do when I encounter a pervert? Urgent, urgent!
