After a master of metaphysics severed ties with his family, the whole family was filled with regret!

Chapter 75 Luo Chujiu was angered by Xiao Beiming

"Not familiar? The emperor has already bestowed a marriage upon us, how can we not be familiar?"

Upon hearing Luo Chujiu's words, Xiao Beiming asked in return.

Luo Chujiu pouted, clearly unwilling to answer Xiao Beiming's question.

"Say something! Are we even acquainted?"

Xiao Beiming seemed determined to get an answer from Luo Chujiu, as if he wouldn't give up until she did.

"I'm familiar with another Xiao Beiming, but not with you."

Luo Chujiu felt sullen and didn't want to admit that she had such a difficult fifth senior brother.

She was determined to go to the palace and ask her fourth senior brother if Xiao Beiming was indeed her fifth senior brother!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Beiming smiled, and then moved a little closer to her:
"Junior Sister, you're not even familiar with Fifth Senior Brother? What an ingrate! I used to change your diapers when you were little, and now you've turned your back on me?"

"What did you say? I didn't ask you to change my diaper! Don't you dare make false accusations!"

Luo Chujiu blushed instantly. Just thinking about how Xiao Beiming used to change her diapers with his aloof and unapproachable face when she was a child made Luo Chujiu want to die!

Seeing that Luo Chujiu's face turned red from being amused, Xiao Beiming was finally satisfied.

"I was just stating the facts, and you can't even handle that?"

"If you keep spouting nonsense, get out! This is the Imperial Preceptor's residence; I don't want you coming in to cause me trouble!"

Luo Chujiu felt that if Xiao Beiming continued to spout nonsense, she wouldn't hesitate to kick him out!

Seeing that the man was genuinely angry, Xiao Beiming calmed down a bit.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I came to see you because I have something important to say."

"What important matter?" Luo Chujiu looked at Xiao Beiming with great disbelief.

"When you took my pulse before, did you already discover that there was a mystical restriction on my body?"

"Yeah, so what? I don't know who put the restriction on you. To remove the restriction from your body, I guess only my master can do it. I'm not that capable," Luo Chujiu said sullenly.

"Who said I asked you to lift the restrictions? I know the restrictions within me better than anyone else, which is why I split off another personality, mainly to suppress my original self."

Xiao Beiming knew this matter much better than Luo Chujiu.

"Oh? Do you know who placed the restriction on you?" Luo Chujiu asked, intrigued by Xiao Beiming's words.

"That's rude of you. You should call me Fifth Senior Brother. What do you mean by 'you'?"

Xiao Beiming looked at Luo Chujiu with a serious expression, wanting her to change how she addressed him.

"No, I haven't verified it with my fourth senior brother yet. What if you're lying to me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Beiming laughed out loud, "Not too stupid, you even know to ask your fourth senior brother for confirmation. Alright, then it's not too late for you to call me fifth senior brother after you've confirmed with your fourth senior brother. However, I don't know when we'll meet again."

As Xiao Beiming spoke, his expression grew increasingly serious.

Luo Chujiu was also taken aback, "When do you usually show up?"

"The weaker my body is, the clearer my mind will be. Once my body recovers, I will appear less frequently, or even not at all."

This also left Xiao Beiming quite helpless, as he could not decide when he would appear.

Hearing this, Luo Chujiu felt relieved. She didn't want Xiao Beiming, who called himself her "Fifth Senior Brother," to keep appearing; she didn't like him.

"So you came to see me today just to talk nonsense?"

Luo Chujiu expressed her doubts.

"What, you want to kick me out again?"

Luo Chujiu remained silent, tacitly agreeing with Xiao Beiming's words. Since he knew she wanted him gone, why didn't she leave quickly? Xiao Beiming was so angry at Luo Chujiu's words that he laughed, then stood up:
"Fine, since you don't welcome me, then I'll leave, future Crown Princess~"

"Don't shout that! I'm the future princess, not the future crown prince's wife!"

Luo Chujiu glared at Xiao Beiming several times, feigning fierceness, and ignored him.

Seeing her angry expression, Xiao Beiming laughed heartily and then left.

When Feiyun returned, she saw that her master's face was red with anger.

"Miss, did you have a fight with the Prince?"

It's strange. Miss and the prince used to be very happy together. How could the prince make her so angry?
"It wasn't an argument, he just made me angry on his own!"

Luo Chujiu said irritably.

Feiyun was at a loss for words. It was the first time she had ever seen her young lady truly angry; in the past, it was always her young lady who was angry at others.

This prince is truly extraordinary; no wonder he was able to be betrothed to the young lady.

Luo Chujiu had no idea what Feiyun was thinking and was sulking to herself.

Meanwhile, Nan Ke followed Xiao Beiming back to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Xiao Beiming locked himself in his room.

When he left the house again, he transformed back into the gentle and refined Prince Xiao.

"My lord, are you awake?"

Nan Ke asked tentatively.

"Hmm, but why do I feel so tired? I feel even more tired after a nap," Xiao Beiming said, puzzled.

How could it have had the opposite effect?
"Perhaps Your Highness has been too tired these days, which is why you are like this. Why don't you take a few days off? Anyway, the imperial examination is over, so Your Highness doesn't need to worry about so many things anymore," Nan Ke sincerely suggested.

After thinking it over, Xiao Beiming decided it was feasible, so he wrote a letter and had it delivered to Xiao Jinglin at the palace, telling him that he was going to take two days off to rest.

Xiao Jinglin naturally agreed and told him to rest well and not to worry about matters in the court, leaving everything to him.

After receiving His Majesty's instructions, Xiao Beiming began to recuperate with peace of mind.

Since he had nothing to do, Xiao Beiming decided to go to the Imperial Preceptor's residence to find Luo Chujiu to play with.

"Is Your Highness on his way to see Miss Luo?"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Nan Ke quickly asked.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that it's getting late today. If Your Highness wants to go early in the morning, you can invite Miss Luo to have lunch and go sightseeing together."

In reality, Nan Ke was worried that if Xiao Beiming went twice in one day, the other people in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion would become suspicious. As for Miss Luo, her identity had probably already been exposed.

Xiao Beiming was stunned, only then realizing that it was almost dusk and that he had slept for so long.

"Fine, I'll go tomorrow."

Hearing Xiao Beiming's words, Nan Ke instantly felt much more relaxed:
Thankfully, the prince is much easier to talk to than the heir apparent; he's not as stubborn.

Meanwhile, as soon as Nalan Qingyin returned to the Imperial Preceptor's residence, she was captured by Luo Chujiu.

"Fourth Senior Brother, let me ask you, just now Xiao Beiming said that he is my fifth senior brother, is that true?"

Luo Chujiu looked very seriously into Nalan Qingyin's eyes and asked.

She desperately needs a definite answer!
