Resisting the trace of restraining fear in her heart with difficulty, Luo Qing Luan instead filled herself with more stubbornness, lifting her brows as she replied. "If my name is not Luo Qing, can it be that your name is Luo Qing?"

Nalan Ye's pupils darkened a dangerous expression suddenly appeared on his lips. "Not only is your name not Luo Qing, you are also a woman! I really did not expect that the grand Luo family's second daughter surprisingly dressed as a man to visit a courtesan house. No wonder your engagement with the fifth prince has been cancelled by His Majesty. So it's like this!"

Pupils contracting abruptly, Luo Qing Luan quickly took a step back, completely on guard. "Who in the world are you?"

She didn't expect that someone actually was able to figure out her identity. Moreover, not only was he able to perceive that she was a woman, he even knew of her identity as the Luo family's second daughter.

Her brain quickly pondered over this, yet Luo Qing Luan didn't relax her vigilance towards him in the least. She absolutely no longer possessed the relaxed and pleased manner she had previously.

"You don't need to know how I know. I just want to offer a bit of advice to the second Miss Luo. It's still better for women to stay at home and stroll outside less. Occasionally recite poetry, paint, go on outings in the spring and be content with your circumstances." As he spoke, Nalan Ye stepped forward. His imposing body was like a sturdy wall, exuding an imposing pressure from head to toe, completely obstructing Luo Qing Luan's exit.

How dangerous!

This was the most dangerous opponent that Luo Qing Luan had met so far. Even though this person's looks wasn't bad, well-defined facial features, sword shaped brows and was pleasant to the eyes, the coldness that his eyes released was intense and dangerous. Just like......she was facing a dangerous lion which could suddenly attack her at any moment.

Unexpectedly, a person's name flashed through her mind. Luo Qing Luan blurted out, "You're Nalan Ye!"

She suddenly recalled that in Western Chu, there was one famous person whose name was widely circulated. This person's position was so high and deep that the current emperor trusted and valued him, yet he was cold, aloof, and solitary towards others. Even when he came into contact with imperial family members in general, or even high officials in court, he also seldom displayed a respectful expression.

He's never been known to be close to anyone. Nearly every time he's been seen, he displayed a plank like stiff face to the extent that he obtained a nickname of iceberg prince.

All of these qualities were basically the same as this man before her eyes. Imposing and threatening, icily arrogant and gloomy. Moreover, at the general's mansion last time, when she and Luo Qing Shuang fell into the pond, Nalan Ye was the only outsider there. Only he would be able to see through her disguise. Therefore, beside Nalan Ye, this person could not be any other person.

A wisp of surprise flashed through his eyes. Nalan Ye didn't expect that his identity would so quickly be seen through. For the first time, he exposed a trace of a smiling expression, but it passed in the twinkling of an eye.

His hand already grabbed Luo Qing Luan's wrist. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he responded. "Sure enough, the second Miss Luo has a pair of wily eyes......"

"You're the one with the wily eyes! Let go of me!"

Luo Qing Luan no longer cared about keeping up appearances. This person unexpectedly mocked her this way? If it weren't for the fact that she didn't bring her needles when she left today, she would certainly have stuck a few of them into him. Have him taste the flavor of offending her!

The strength grabbing her wrist was quite formidable. No matter how much Luo Qing Luan I struggled, she couldn't shake him off. She looked fiercely at Nalan Ye then shouted in a deep voice. "If you still won't let go, careful, I won't continue to be polite!"

"What? The Second Miss Luo also want to drag me into the pond to drown?" Nalan Ye pondered then asked, not caring at all.

"So you actually saw it that day?" Luo Qing Yuan was even more startled. She didn't expect that all of her schemes were seen through clearly and thoroughly by this man.

If he exposed her, she's afraid Luo Cheng......how abominable, her body still had not been completely nursed back to health. Moreover, she didn't bring anything she could use. Otherwise, she wouldn't have cared whether this person was a titled prince or a prince, and would've ruthlessly taught him a lesson.

Some people don't know real pain unless they'd experienced it!

"The Second Miss Luo apparently has a lot of secrets......" Nalan Ye spoke one word at a time, as a mocking smiling expression appeared on his lips. He watched as the young lady before him began to become somewhat frantic and felt instead that she was becoming more and more interesting. He also wanted to know at the juncture where her life was endangered, under what circumstances would this calm and unperturbed young lady lose her head out of fear.

If it was like that, it should be even more amusing, right?

It's been so many years. It seemed he finally found a thing that he was interested in.

With a thought, Luo Qing Luan assumed the appearance of someone who was panicking, afraid that the other party would expose her. "You......what do you want to do? My own matters don't need your meddling. If you dare to say something, I, I......I will......"

She hemmed and hawed, although her words were somewhat tough, it clearly stemmed from false bravado, an appearance of appearing fierce while cowardly at heart. The corners of Nalan Ye's mouth started to rise wanting to say something when......

No small amount of strength came from her hand. He was going to put more force to grab her when unpredictably, Luo Qing Luan instantly threw herself forward and the elbow of her other hand ruthlessly knocked into the pit of his stomach. At the same time, he felt his foot hurt. She already fiercely stepped on his foot repeatedly.

He was ever so slightly distracted, yet the other party already broke away from his control thoroughly and charged down the stairs.

What quick reaction, simply not the actions that an ordinary sheltered upper class lady would have!

"Nalan Ye, I'm warning you, it's best that you don't provoke me in the future, otherwise......" At the corner where the stairs led from the third floor to the second floor, not only did Luo Qing Luan not seize the opportunity to leave. She instead stood there and shook her fist at him.

This girl, she had the chance to escape, but not only did she not leave, she even dared to threaten him?

He didn't know if he ought to be angry, or amused. Nalan Ye spoke emotionlessly. "Second Miss Luo, your guts are getting bigger and bigger." His voice just dropped when he leapt, like an eagle targeting a rabbit and covered over ten steps to directly throw himself towards Luo Qing Luan.

What? This man actually was so skilled and even knew light steps martial arts?
