Chapter 71: How about that?


    Gao Qi could not help but sigh heavily. For him, it would be wonderful if Prince Wei was at least on good terms with Gao Lan Mei. However, he also knew that things could not be forced just like that.


    <em>''I should probably be happy that my daughter is not looking for any love interest this soon.''</em> Gao Qi thought to himself. Wei Jiayi was famous for being rich and he is also handsome under that mask. Though he prefers Prince Jiayi to his future son-inw, no one knows what will happen in the future.


    From Prince Wei''s reaction earlier when his daughter admitted to being ugly, he already gave up the idea of the prince considering her as wife or concubine.


    If it was known that Gao Qi was hoping to have Prince Wei as his son-inw, Gao Lan Mei might decide to take some drastic measures to make sure that it would never happen.


    "No need." Wei Jiayi responded coldly. A casual response from him, but everyone could feel the drastic drop in temperature around him.


    He walked towards Gao Lan Mei, just stopping when it''s enough for him to tower over her. Gao Lan Mei subconsciously stepped back, cautious.


    Her personal protectors raise their guards, ready to pull their swords at the moment Wei Jiayi tried to hurt Gao Lan Mei.


    Wei Jiayi smiled slyly at her, "I think this is a bad day. Being unclean makes me feel unwell. Let''s do the transfer next time. Alright?" his tone was so sweet, contrasting to the murderous atmosphere around him. "Unless you want to cooperate and help. How about that?" his tone was so soft but the threat was very clear, making anyone unable to refuse.


    Gao Lan Mei felt that the Prince was at his limit of patience so she could only nod her head in response to show her intent to cooperate with the prince for the time being.With her face showing disapproval, "Alright. Feng Ji!" calling out. She agreed to help, but not personally. Remembering their cease-fire, it''s already satisfying to annoy this prince anyway.


    A little brown sparrow flew towards Gao Lan Mei and nestled on top of her head. Its small sparrow head leans sideways observing the situation.


    "Help the prince clean his hair," she said. This prince had a strange affinity for the Feng Ji. For some reason, she could feel that he badly wanted to be close to the sparrow. Like he was trying to win Feng Ji''s favor.


    <em>''He''s probably into small girls.''</em> Feng Ji was way older than everyone presents, considerably over the marriageable age.


    However, it did not sit well with Gao Lan Mei if the prince had that intention.


    If this thought reached Wei Jiayi, who knows how insulted he would be!


    "Aye miss." A childish voice was heard, affirming themand. Then a little brown sparrow flew to the ground.


    Another moment, a girl around five years of age appeared in the sparrow''s original ce. Hair and eyes so bright red, that it matched her red robes as well.


    Wei Jiayi smiled at the girl, "That works for me too." His murderous intent disappearing instantly, and his face brightened. He reached inside her sleeves, he handed a handkerchief to Feng Ji.


    The little girl nodded with a serious expression, reaching for the handkerchief, ignoring the curious nces from around.


    Noticing her father''s inquiring eyes, "Father, Feng Ji is my contracted spirit beast." Gao Lan Mei said. "Feng Ji introduce yourself to father."


    Feng Ji obediently greeted Gao Qi with a slight bow, "My name is Feng Ji, please treat me well."


    Gao Qi nodded his head, "What about the snakest night with the assassins?" he blurted out suddenly.


    "There were assassinsst night? Here?" Wei Jiayi asked while watching Feng Ji decide on how to clean his hair. This news had not reached him yet.


    Nodding with a sad expression on his face, "Yes, Your Highness, thankfully we are prepared this time."


    It was a good thing that his daughter was not hurt and the Protectors arrived in his courtyard at the right time.
