Inside a Luxurious Pavilion, there were loud sounds of happy laughter and beautiful music being skillfully played by handsome men with different instruments in their hands.

While beautiful and charming women gracefully swayed their bodies along with the tune, causing the loose long sleeves of their robes to elegantly shake with their movements.

"Sister Xixi… I don't need a man to accompany me."

"Hahaha, don't be shy! You were a big help to me this time! I don't know how you did it, but thankfully, my crazy Mother has finally stopped trying to send me on a date with a random man!"

And among the people being entertained, a beautiful grinning woman dressed in plain black robes continued to pester a young man dressed in elegant blue robes, who was having a helpless expression on his face.

"Anyway, can you tell your Big Sis how you convince my crazy Mother to change her idea of wanting me to get married?"

"... It's my forte to convince people…"

… I just said my honest feelings of wanting to court you in my own way… and your mother basically jumped in happiness after hearing that someone wanted to genuinely chase her daughter without being forced or threatened...

Tian Ying calmly answered while trying hard not to show anything unusual in his expression before secretly shooting a sharp look at the young man standing on the side after noticing that Xixi's attention was in another place.

"Oh! Well, you are elegant with a glib tongue like those scholars I heard about. Alright, I won't force you to tell me about it. At least, I can finally feel relaxed whenever I come back to the Capital!"

After making a whistling motion towards the dancing young women, Xixi grabbed a handful of nuts on the table before turning her attention back to the young man who had been a great help in her life.

"Huh? Where did that young man go? You don't want him? I thought I finally found someone who will catch your eyes!"

"It's alright Sister Xixi, we aren't just meant to be together. Besides that, how about we focus more on a certain someone who is obviously looking for trouble after inviting us in this kind of place?"

At least, this isn't the red light district, I don't need to worry that my chastity is in grave danger while being with you…

After the countless experiences of dodging the men who were always being thrown his way, Tian Ying was able to skillfully divert the woman's attention by pointing towards Ren Yuan who was having fun at another table.

There was even a man and woman carefully serving on each side.

"Oh, my charming younger brother Yuan? Well, don't worry about that, and don't be fooled by his happy expression right now. He is obviously sulking about the disappearance of my beautiful cold cousin who loves to run around without telling anyone where he went."

He should get used to it. After she became her beautiful cousin's personal guard, nothing had changed.

I am still being left behind when I am supposed to always stay by his side.

"... I see…"

That is quite an accurate observation, and yet, Tian Ying shouldn't be surprised for someone to have been able to read Ren Yuan's feelings and certain actions.

After all, when it's related to a certain someone, lately, they were able to read quite a bit of the action of their friends when usually they couldn't do it.

Then he turned his attention to Xing Ning, who was calmly eating and drinking without any care, appearing to be content with the entire situation.

Well, Tian Ying bets that his friend Xing Ning is absolutely happy for finally taking a break, even if it's only for a few moments.

Ah… such a pitiful person….

Tian Ying could bet that Xing Ning would be single his entire life and would be married to the paperwork he had been given responsibility for.

Luckily, I found the person I'm interested in, although she is a bit loose in her head, it doesn't matter.

Tian Ying could handle the woman's weird and unusual personality, besides, he already had a crazier friend whom he had vowed to serve for his entire life.

So there is nothing difficult about his future love life.

"Whistle!!! Yeah, continue swaying those charming bodies!"

Tian Ying, Xixi, and Xing Ning heard the rather shameless words Ren Yuan had spoken while excitedly patting the table with a wide grin on his face.

Before witnessing how he took out pieces of silver ingots from inside his robes and accurately throwing them in the dancing woman's hands.

"... Isn't he going a bit overboard?"

Tian Ying hesitantly asked while Xing Ning just calmly took a glance at Ren Yuan who had stood up and stepped on top of the table without caring how crazy he looked.

"Don't bother trying to calm him down… he's desperate enough as it is."

I heard him murmuring about wanting to get his Whitey's full attention so next time, the young man won't dare to leave him so easily.

Anyway, as long as I can take a break, I don't care what crazy antics he is up to anymore.

"Well, I'm sure my Charming younger Brother couldn't forget the amazing night with my beautiful cousin. I bet he is only looking for a reason to experience it again. Let's just sit tight and watch as my cousin appears to deal with him."

Tian Ying and Xing Ning couldn't help but remain silent for a few seconds after finally confirming the truth about what occurred in that chaotic night despite already guessing their mind.

Should we start adding in the list of Ren Yuan's antics about his sudden preference of wearing female clothes and always choosing to be in female appearance when in disguise?

It's been happening lately…

"Wait... Big Sis, are you sure that your cousin will look for Ren Yuan?"

Somehow, Tian Ying just thought of an important question regarding their situation and couldn't help but hurriedly ask the woman about it, only to be given an eye roll for his concern.

"Of course! Didn't Yuan mention my cousin wanting to hang out with him for the entire day? I bet something important happened that my cousin needed to leave! Since it's only in the afternoon, I'm sure that my cousin will come looking for him!"

Xing Ning, who had been mostly listening while only speaking a few words, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing the woman's answer, which earned him a derisive snort.

"Hey… it seems that the two of you don't really fully understand how special Ren Yuan's existence is to my beautiful cousin!"

Absolutely feeling appalled at how the two young men were lacking in understanding of her favorite couple basically made in heaven, Xixi quickly stood up before rudely pointing both of her index fingers toward the two young men.

At the same time, completely uncaring how loud her voice was, which was loud enough to reach the other Pavilion a few distances away from where they were being entertained.

"In the entire world, My beautiful cousin adores Ren Yuan! And among the people in my beautiful cousin's life, Ren Yuan is the one on the top list! If you let my beautiful cousin choose which one to save among the people he cared about. It's going to be Ren Yuan! Do you get it??? It's all Ren Yuan! Ren Yuan! Ren Yuan!"

"…"

"Big Sis… calm down, you are going to destroy Ren Yuan's plan..."

"Hm? Oh, that's not good. I can't miss such a wonderful scene!"

When Xixi was being gently pulled down by Tian Ying who only showed a helpless expression on his face, with a hidden pampering look in his eyes. Xing Ning was able to easily ignore such a crazy situation since his face had gotten rather thick lately.

At the same time, Ren Yuan completely disregarded the sudden outburst of a certain crazy woman, although inwardly, he felt pleased and delighted about hearing such wonderful words.

Before his mood swiftly changed when he thought about how the young man had gone somewhere without telling him about it.

Especially after experiencing a rather threatening and awkward situation in the Shao Residence.

As the lively situation continued in the Pavilion with a certain person showing off his fake persona of being a shameless person.

The four people were completely oblivious of a certain cold gaze silently watching them while sitting on the top of a building a few distances away.

Look at them having fun…

Shao Cheng had already arrived in the Capital a while ago and because of the Purple Dragon guidance, had easily located a certain person who was acting unreasonably again.

"So… Papa Bug, when are you going to tie my Mama Bug up?"

"You said, he wanted to be punished, right?"

"Well, yeah."

Shao Cheng's eyebrow twisted before he let out a sigh, at the same time, taking out the thin rope from inside his robe.

In which he had gone through the trouble of picking up in his courtyard and after changing his clothes back to what he had been wearing before.

"Then, forget it, why should I make it easy for him?"

Although I might change my mind later on, so let him squirm for a bit longer while waiting for me to appear.

"Wow, Papa Bug wants to tease and bully Mama Bug? Well, that's also great."

…What a sadist dragon… Well, Ren Yuan, this purple dragon was created by you, so...

More importantly, Shao Cheng's attention couldn't help but turn to another direction with his eyebrow-raising interest.

"What is he doing in this place?"

Shao Cheng stood up from where he was standing before waving his long wide sleeves to the nearest tree, causing it to rustle by the slightly strong air that hit it and making a few leaves fly in the air.

After he reached over to grab a piece of tree leaves that had come on his way, he precisely used his internal energy to wrap around it before swiftly shooting it in the direction of where the crazy Ren Yuan was having fun.

"Eh?"

The three young men and one woman couldn't help but pause in what they were doing after it was too late for them to detect the oncoming object that was shot in their way.

Even the lively music of the handsome men and graceful dancing of the charming women stopped at the unexpected situation.

Drip… Drip… Drip…

After gazing at the spilled droplets of red wine dripping in the ground, which were from the broken wine jar in the hand of the young woman who had gotten a bit close to a frozen Ren Yuan.

Everyone swiftly snapped their heart in the direction where the object was shot at.

"Little Cheng!"

"My Beautiful Cousin!"

Shao Cheng couldn't help but make an 'I am watching you' motion with his two fingers, first pointing at his own eyes, then turning it toward Ren Yuan before turning around and swiftly leaving the place after finally getting their attention.

"Eh? Why are you leaving??? Little Cheng, come back!"

"I know! I'm the one at fault! So, don't just leave and ignore me!"

"Ah, Little Cheng, are you jealous? Don't worry! No one will be able to take away your special spot in my heart!"

In the Pavilions where the nobles usually hanged out for entertainment or important meetings, a loud voice continued to echo out, causing some people to make a displeased expression on their faces.

Of course, other people could easily guess who the person that was shouting is since they were already familiar with the sound of his voice.

"... Eh, let's just ignore it, that man is at it again…"
