Zhao Jiangui walks around the courtyard two rounds, at last calming down.

He doesn"t understand.

No matter how he"d faced the Western Paradise and tempered the demonic ways of the rakshas* in his prime, never had he been this alarmed and bewildered, he"s really twisted up in this thing, is it not good enough to close his eyes and go for the kiss?

He forces himself to return to the room.

The two maids have already retreated, Ji Han sits at the side of the table with a serious face, Xiao Lin is trembling with fear standing at his side.

Zhao Jiangui says, "I"ve recovered."

Ji Han lifts his head to look at him, seeming as if he"s seen some monster.

Zhao Jiangui says, "You...were standing by the wall?"

Ji Han coldly opens his mouth, "Tonight I want to eat egg noodles, in the noodles there should be two eggs fried in sesame oil, with ginger threads, it is not allowed to have spring onions, in the pot sprinkle in sesame oil, if there is the least bit of onion, you"ll immediately get out of the sect for me."

Zhao Jiangui, "...Ah?"
