Chapter 355: Think Of The Big Picture

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Pei Fengtang had run out of ideas about how to get his intentions across to Qi Qingyao, so he sighed, bid his farewells, and left the Qi Residence.

After Pei Fengtang left.

Qi Qingyao turned around to look at Lu Yan and noticed he was looking down, a thoughtful look on his face. He had not disagreed with Pei Fengtang just now, so she chided him angrily, “Don’t think you can convince me not to exact revenge.”

Lu Yan’s eyes were calm and misty, and they also looked somewhat helpless as they gleamed under the light. He rubbed his head and said, “How do I say this? It wasn’t a suggestion. More like… considering the bigger picture.”

“So the big picture is to make me shut up and do nothing,” Qi Qingyao said with a hoarse voice.

“Yaoyao.” Having her shut up and do nothing was a simplification of their actual plans. Lu Yan shut his eyes halfway, not daring to look into hers. “You shouldn’t be thinking about revenge. Instead… you should be worried about him coming back or not.”

Qi Qingyao, “…”

Lu Yan continued, “If Si Jin comes back, you are guaranteed to be safe, but what if he doesn’t?”

Qi Qingyao thought to herself, ‘If Si Jin decides to come back, but not now, things will definitely be easier.’ However, if he decides not to come back, she… would be helpless and all alone. However, she could not always put her safety in the hands of others. She had to solve this problem on her own.

“If he doesn’t come back, you’re in big trouble.” Lu Yan saw through her with his dark, quiet eyes. He then said to her, “Some crazy people might even think you’re the grand master’s weakness, so they might try to test his limits and make you their target.”

Qi Qingyao chuckled. “So?”

“The next time we go out, just bullsh*t your way through any accusations.” The circumstances had come to this, and the most important thing now was her safety. Lu Yan simply could not allow her to get in harm’s way, so he decided what they would be doing there and then. “Whatever it takes, just exaggerate whatever you can!”

“Exaggerate what…?” Qi Qingyao did not understand what he meant.

Lu Yan had a smile on his face which did not look like much of a smile, “Just say that he’s the world’s strongest grand master, and you have quite the relationship with him. If you die, he’ll destroy the city in his blind rage. Hell, you can even say the two of you had a child. If someone asks about the age difference, just say that he’s really strong, to the point where he can keep himself looking young forever even though he’s already a hundred years old.”

Qi Qingyao was completely dumbfounded by the gibberish Lu Yan was spouting. She stared at the blabbering Lu Yan in disbelief. “Would that even work?”

Lu Yan relaxed and composed himself. He felt somewhat proud of what he had just said, so he replied, “Why not? The more you exaggerate, the safer you’ll be.”

“Why do I have to do that? Why not just spread the real news around?” Qi Qingyao’s pale irises reflected the light that shone upon it just like how a glimmering lake reflected the sunlight. “If I do that, I can explain why I have Master Architect Li Qinglian’s drawings with me, and that would also explain why Divine Physician Su He was willing to help me… That makes so much more sense.”

Lu Yan smacked his legs and said, “I’m telling Dong Jing to spread the information right now.” He continued, “If this grand master really is a few hundred years old, it would make sense why the Zhaixing Administration failed to find anything out about him.” He almost convinced himself with his own words.

QI Qingyao stared at his silhouette and muttered, “He’s really good at bragging.”

He might be better than her in that regard already.

After all… he was the son of Northern Liang’s Chamber of Commerce!

It was just then that Qi Qingyao remembered she still had guests in the living room waiting on her.

She walked back there quickly.

She even clasped her fists together and bowed at them.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. I apologize.”

Gu Shanshan trotted over and asked her excitedly, “Who was that handsome guy just now?”

Qi Qingyao was stunned for a moment as she replied, “Heir Pei.”

“Pei Fengtang?” asked Gu Shanshan.

Qi Qingyao nodded.

She would have never guessed that Eastern Ling nobles would know Heir Pei’s name. They were very… well equipped with information.

Gu Shanshan was about to ask Qi Qingyao to introduce her to Heir Pei…

Just then, Xiao Wuji walked over and pulled Gu Shanshan to the side.

He then stood in front of Qi Qingyao and asked her, “Just consider what she told you just now.”

Qi Qingyao, “…”

What was there to consider?

Did he mean to tell her to consider going to Eastern Ling with them?

Hold on, Gu Shanshan just mentioned that the grand masters’ plan was to kill Si Jin… and then attack Northern Liang from two sides.

Pei Fengtang, on the other hand, had advised her not to exact revenge. If Li Ruoxuan and Jiang Yeqian actually died, the entire political environment in Capital City would change for the worse.

What was going on? Did that mean that Si Jin was the factor deciding whether a war was going to take place?

If Si Jin was alive, Northern Liang might get the chance to stabilize itself.

If he had died, however, Eastern Ling and Southern Ming would attack Northern Liang.

If Si Jin were to exact his revenge, Northern Liang and Capital City would be in shambles.

If he did not, everything would be alright.

What the hell was this?

Did that mean she had no other choice but to take punches like a wooden dummy and not retaliate at all?

Qi Qingyao’s brows furrowed tightly.
