“Looking for something?” Bei Yutang scanned the room, looking at them suspiciously.
Li Mengmeng, somewhat annoyed by her gaze, said impatiently, “We’ll do our own thing. You should go back and make your lunch.”
“I’ll help you look. Many hands make light work.” Bei Yutang said with a smile.
Bei Yutang could roughly guess their intentions.
Li Mengmeng immediately refused, “No need. We can do it ourselves. You should go back and make lunch.”
“It’s alright, this room isn’t that big. The three of us can search quickly; it won’t take much time.” Bei Yutang said with a smile.
Li Mengmeng’s smile froze slightly. She was growing increasingly annoyed with this woman.
Did she even know how to read people’s expressions?
At this moment, Yan Jin spoke up, “Miss Bei, we’d be delighted if you helped us search.”
Hearing him say this, Li Mengmeng didn’t say anything more.
The three of them searched the room quietly for a while, then heard Yan Jin say, “It seems there’s nothing here that can be used as a weapon. Let’s go.”
Bei Yutang followed the two out of the room.
Butler Sen had watched everything quietly from beginning to end, as if he were an outsider.
Only after watching the two leave the castle did Bei Yutang return to the dining room with a sense of relief.
Meanwhile, Yan Jin and Li Mengmeng, who had just stepped out of the castle, immediately changed their expressions.
“Teacher Yan, what do we do now?” Li Mengmeng asked, frowning.
“We’ll go another time.” Yan Jin said softly.
Li Mengmeng felt a surge of anger rising within her at the thought of their plans being ruined by that woman.
“It’s all that woman’s fault! If it weren’t for her, we’d all be…”
Yan Jin suddenly covered Li Mengmeng’s mouth.
Li Mengmeng looked puzzled, then quickly saw Feng Qing emerging from around the corner.
Feng Qing glanced sideways at the two people intimately nestled together, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips.
“Tsk, tsk, Teacher Yan is really something. Without Gongsun Mingyue, you immediately have Li Mengmeng. Your respectable appearance certainly makes you popular with women.”
Yan Jin’s face darkened: “Feng Qing, just because I’m not arguing with you doesn’t mean I’m afraid of you. You’d better stop now.”
Li Mengmeng chimed in, “Are you just jealous?”
As she spoke, Li Mengmeng’s disdainful gaze swept over Yan Jin, and she sneered, “Look at your shabby appearance. No woman would like you. You’re only jealous of Teacher Yan.”
“Jealous? What a joke.”
Feng Qing curled her lip in disdain: “Only Yan Jin would even look at people like you.”
“What did you say!” Li Mengmeng snapped.
Yan Jin also angrily said, “Feng Qing, don’t go too far.”
Feng Qing’s disdainful gaze swept over the two of them, ignoring their anger, and walked past them. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at them, and muttered under his breath.
“Like a pot, like a lid. A match made in heaven.”
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Li Mengmeng and Yan Jin were furious, their eyes blazing with hatred as they glared at Feng Qing’s departing figure, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
“I’m so angry!” Li Mengmeng stomped her feet in anger.
Yan Jin comforted her, “Don’t be angry, it’s not worth getting angry over someone like that.”
Feng Qing, who had walked a distance away, suddenly turned around, looked at the two people in the distance, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
