Chapter 55: CH 54

Qi Qing’s eyes were sincere and warm, being stared at by such a pair of eyes without blinking, Ji Xingjue suddenly regretted teasing Qi Qing so much.

His face actually felt a little burning, his eyes drifted away uncomfortably, but was turned back in place again by Qi Qing holding his head.

On the contrary, Qi Qing was calm after having said it all. “Did you hear that? If you pretend to be deaf and dumb, I can say it until you can hear it clearly.”

“…heard it.”

A faint smile unexpectedly flashed across Qi Qing’s eyes. He didn’t go any further on this aspect, but still didn’t want to let go of Ji Xingjue.

A certain person surnamed Ji was too good at running away which made him unable to be at ease.

“How was the harvest at the Chairman of the Council’s house today?”

Speaking of this, Ji Xingjue couldn’t help but glance at him. “You went there to wait for me on purpose? When did you recognize me?”

Qi Qing said, “The first time I saw you.”

Ji Xingjue was instantly struck by lightning.

As a confident scientific researcher, he doubted himself for a moment. In astonishment, he fished up the ring on the table and looked at it, feeling unbelievable.

After many upgrades, the disguise of the ring could even fool An Tang, a cunning fox, and the security inspection of the Alliance, but it still couldn’t escape the eyes of the Lord Marshal?

Could there be something wrong?

Qi Qing guessed what he was thinking. He hooked a lock of his hair, twirled it around his fingertips as he fixed his eyes on him. “I said, no matter what you become, I can recognize you at a glance.”

Ji Xingjue was stunned, and reacted belatedly. His ears were hot as he covered the other man’s eyes helplessly. “It’s a foul, Lord Marshal. Let’s get down to business… I didn’t find the document in the study upstairs or downstairs, but according to An Tang, the document is in their house.”

It’s just that after tonight’s encounter, An Hong should have increased the defense around the house, and it would be difficult to sneak in easily again.

Qi Qing didn’t pull his hand away while giving it some thought. “I’ll take you there tomorrow.”

Ji Xingjue was held in his arms, and it was difficult to change his posture. He moved back with difficulty, but when he was pulled back again, he raised his hand in surrender. “Okay, but An Hong should have suspected you.”

“So what if he suspects me,” Qi Qing said lightly, as if simply talking about how good the weather was today, “I am a distinguished guest.”

With the current situation, the Alliance and the Empire wouldn’t tear each other apart, not to mention that Qi Qing was still the Marshal of the Empire. Even if he did something, as long as he wasn’t caught, the Council wouldn’t care about it.

“You’ve become naughty now ha, Lord Marshal,” Ji Xingjue put down his hand, and discussed with him in a pleasant manner, “Since we have made a merry decision, can you let me go? You see, I’m right here, and I still need you to help me get that document, so I can’t run off anywhere.”

“No.” Qi Qing’s answer was very firm.
