Yan Luo was still stunned and hadn’t come back to her senses. She instinctively tried to push the person in front of her away, and just as her hand moved a little, the study door was pushed open.
Yan Luo, suddenly understanding what Lu Xunche meant : …
So the Combat Department is amazing, huh? Able to sense someone’s presence in advance, huh? Isn’t this a bit too intense? She truly couldn’t tell what Jun Yulin was thinking, and although she vaguely suspected he might like her, she wasn’t certain. Combined with the already complicated relationship between them…
What if instead of giving him stimulation, she ended up getting herself into trouble?
She was utterly flustered.
And then she heard the system notification sound in her ear.
[*Ding*—Jun Yulin’s blackening value +1 (76/100)]
[*Ding*—Jun Yulin’s blackening value +5 (81/100)]
[*Ding*—Jun Yulin’s Blackening Value +15 (96/100)]
Oh my god, Yan Luo was startled and tried to push the person in front of her away with a strong shove.
But to Jun Yulin, who had just entered the room first, all he saw was his little emperor sitting at the desk, and since she hadn’t turned to look at him, he could only see her side profile. Her eyes were slightly widened, seemingly glistening, and her hand was raised toward the young man standing in front of her.
No matter how he looked at it, this posture was utterly inappropriate.
A surge of fury seemed to rise in his chest. Yan Luo had only just begun to move when Lu Xunche suddenly retreated, dodging the fierce palm wind, casually taking a few steps to the side. Tilting his head with a smile, he looked at Jun Yulin—whose face was unreadable but eyes were dark and dangerous—and chuckled.
“Your Highness the Regent, even if you’re her Royal Uncle, you can’t just barge into the emperor’s study like this, can you?”
His mischievous eyes flicked to the shattered vase on the side, broken by Jun Yulin’s palm strike, and his lips twitched slightly. Then he glanced at the younger girl, who was still too shocked to react. Seeing her flustered, timid expression, Lu Xunche also had some thoughts in his mind.
—Look at Jun Yulin like this. How could he possibly not care? He obviously holds her dear, just refuses to say it.
And then Lu Xunche saw Yan Luo’s expression, and got angry. He curled his lips slightly, and chose not to say anything. He just let Yan Luo guess on her own. Who’s to blame? They deserved it.
“Lu. Xun. Che!” came another angry voice from the doorway. An Bai stood there with a dark expression, glaring at the man inside who still looked as lazy and indifferent as ever.
Back during a military operation, he had indeed offended Lu Xunche. However, Lu Xunche just ignored his apology.
Even after dealing with the matter, the guy didn’t even bother lifting his eyes.
An Bai had thought that with time and some coaxing, things would settle down. He never expected to walk in and see this scene.
Lu Xunche only gave An Bai a glance upon hearing his voice before looking away, clearly unwilling to engage.
It was infuriating.
“Defying your superior…” Jun Yulin seemed to be beyond furious, spitting out each word slowly, his eyes deep and filled with unmistakable killing intent.
Lu Xunche wasn’t the type to back down. Raising an eyebrow, he snorted, eyes flashing with excitement and an eager-to-fight look, as if he truly wanted to go head-to-head with Jun Yulin.
“R-royal Uncle…” Yan Luo looked at An Bai’s agitated expression at the door, then at the two inside who were on the verge of fighting, and finally spoke with a trembling voice.
She threw a few warning looks at Lu Xunche—“Are you trying to stimulate him? You’re obviously just stirring up trouble!!”
—Help! These people are terrifying.
Receiving Yan Luo’s signal, Lu Xunche finally calmed down his emotions.
