Lu Yan's and Si Jin's minds had already crashed into a pile of rubble.
Qi Qingyao was the first to return to her senses. She rubbed her forehead. Barely hiding her anger, she said, "State Preceptor, I have no idea what kind of madness has suddenly come over you."
Li Ruoxuan replied innocently, "I'm being very sincere."
Her expression dark, Qi Qingyao said, "I'm not interested in the State Preceptor."
Li Ruoxuan fell silent for a moment. Eyes half-closed, he gave a somewhat amused laugh. "Qi Qingyao, do you know what the consequences are for rejecting me?"
Consequences?
Was that a threat?
Si Jin instantly snapped back to reality and stood beside Qi Qingyao.
Qi Qingyao thought for a moment then said to Si Jin with a smile, "Everyone, please stand down for now."
"Big Sis?" Si Jin said as he watched Li Ruoxuan astutely.
"Stand down for now!!" Qi Qingyao repeated authoritatively.
