Starry Sky Railway: The Slacking Sword Saint is Keeped by Fu Xuan

Yu Chen smiled at her with great interest, his eyes gleaming with gossip: "Xing Xuan... wants to be in a relationship, and the person she likes is a young girl... This guy, he's trying to date a younger woman!"

"Pah... She's not that old, why are you calling her 'old cow'! In terms of age, who can be older than you, you old relic?" Fu Xuan frowned, defending his subordinate, but that was all.

Her expression quickly turned curious again, and she looked at Yu Chen and asked.

"Who does she like? Is she very young?"

The gossipy nature of the people of the Immortal Boat was also unavoidable in the Grand Diviner.

"I'm just..."

"It's just a little bit big... Don't you know that the bigger a man is, the more attractive he is?" Yu Chen wanted to refute, but found that what she said seemed to be true.

For a moment, he could only offer a few quiet rebuttals as if to comfort himself.

The more I think about him, the sadder I become, it seems...

Is he really that old?

"Oh dear, not old at all, so charming, so charming! Tell me quickly... who is Xingxuan dating?" Lord Fu Xuan finally offered a comforting word, urging him to continue.

"Ahem~" Yu Chen coughed lightly twice, his sad expression instantly disappearing. "They probably haven't talked yet, but she seems to be drooling over him..."

"Xingxuan isn't as despicable as you make her out to be. And stop with the riddles, just tell me, who is it?" Fu Xuan frowned and glared at him.

Yu Chen shook his head helplessly, "Alright, alright, why are you in such a hurry? It's Yan Qing, Jing Yuan's little apprentice."

"The little swordsman beside the general?" Fu Xuan raised an eyebrow, the image of the little swordsman appearing in his mind.

“That’s right, it’s him… Hehe, Xingxuan wanted to ask me about him, but she ran away in embarrassment before she could even ask.” Yu Chen grinned.

Fu Xuan blinked, her purple eyes flashing, a thoughtful look appearing in them.

"No wonder..."

"What, Fu Xuan, do you have any clues?"

Yu Chen looked at her and asked.

“Hmm… No wonder every time I go to the General’s Mansion, she always seems to lean closer to Yanqing, and she often pesters him to show her his swordplay… I thought she really liked watching swords, but it turns out she likes the person who wields the sword…” Fu Xuan’s lips slowly curved up, and a charming smile appeared on her face.

Yu Chen's expression hardened slightly, and his gaze lingered on her face for a moment longer.

She seems...to be really pretty...

A strange, inexplicable feeling quietly rose in his heart, but it was very faint, and he thought it was just embarrassment and didn't pay attention to it.

"Wait, what did you just call me?" Fu Xuan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at him with his eyes narrowed.

"Lord Fu Xuan? What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Yu Chen answered her without changing his expression, but his heart involuntarily quickened for a moment.

Fu Xuan stared into his eyes, while Yu Chen calmly looked back at her.

"Hmph~ I'll trust you this once." Fu Xuan snorted lightly, choosing to let him off the hook for the time being. It's just a name, let him call me that...

Only this guy could ignore her warnings an endless number of times and still do whatever he wanted.

Yu Chen silently turned his head and let out a soft sigh of relief.

That was close; I almost got my salary docked.

She lowered her head, took a sip of tea, and then her brows furrowed instantly.

What's this being steeped in?

Fu Xuan examined the tea leaves in the cup carefully; they were indeed her Jade Phoenix Tea Extract!

How did this person manage to woo him?

"How did you brew this tea? My tea leaves are of the finest quality, how could you brew them like this?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Chen glanced at her sideways, then at the tea in the cup, his gaze somewhat unfocused. "It's just... tea leaves and hot water..."

Fu Xuan's lips twitched slightly. She didn't believe that Xing Xuan hadn't told him how to make it. This guy was either too lazy to do it or he hadn't been listening carefully.

She took another sip, and her brows furrowed even more deeply.

No, it's really hard to swallow.

Fu Xuan looked at the large pot of tea that was still there, and felt bad about wasting it.

You know, this Jade Phoenix Tea Essence is incredibly rare... and yet this guy released so much of it all at once...

"You brewed this yourself, and you drank all of it! Tomorrow, either learn how to brew it properly, or don't brew it at all..."

Don't waste my fine tea leaves.

Fu Xuan shouted at him with her eyes closed, her heart bleeding!

"It's just tea, how bad can it be?" Yu Chen curled his lip and then grabbed the pot.

"Fine, I'll drink it! I brewed it myself, it's the best!"

After he finished speaking, he pressed the spout to the kettle and gulped down two mouthfuls.

Then he scalded himself and screamed.

"Ouch! It's so hot!"

"Pfft~"

His foolish appearance made Fu Xuan, who was looking at him, laugh. He had never seen such a silly person in the Taibu Si.

"What are you laughing at!" Yu Chen's face turned red, and he stuck out his red tongue, glaring at her.

He was so embarrassed he wanted to slap himself for his earlier behavior.

"Pfft... I didn't... hehe... laugh... giggle~"

Fu Xuan finally couldn't hold back and covered his mouth to laugh out loud.

Finally, I got to see him get his comeuppance!

Chapter 21 Lord Fu Xuan, your skirt…

The beautiful girl smiled radiantly, with arched eyebrows, rosy cheeks, and a melodious, bell-like laugh.

Every single one of them is captivating.

Yu Chen found the laughter particularly grating. In all his years, this was the first time he had ever been laughed at like that by a girl.

His face turned bright red, his earlobes became flushed and red, and he gripped the teapot handle tightly, wishing he could chop it to pieces with a sword!

"Laughing, laughing, laughing, so annoying!"

The kettle in his hand trembled; it was too hot to drink, and the knot in his heart just wouldn't go away.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the cup in front of Fu Xuan.

With lightning speed, he snatched the cup away, and before Fu Xuan could even react, he gulped down the tea in two or three mouthfuls.

After finishing his drink, Yu Chen slammed the cup onto the table with considerable force.

"Delicious!"

He glared and shouted loudly, as if he were proving his skills.

Fu Xuan's expression froze when he picked up the cup and gulped it down.

She stared at the empty cup and the faint lip print on it, and her rosy cheeks instantly flushed.

A strong sense of shame welled up from the bottom of her heart. She bit her thin, tender lips and stared intently at Yu Chen.

This guy…

They actually used the cup she drank from! This isn't... this isn't...

They kissed indirectly!

Fu Xuan, who had never been in a relationship before, was suddenly overcome with girlish excitement.

She looked at the man's expression, but he seemed completely oblivious.

"What are you doing? It just tastes so good!"

Yu Chen noticed her gaze and assumed she was unconvinced, so he arrogantly raised his face.

Fu Xuan pursed his pink lips, feeling like a fool, blushing over something he hadn't even cared about.

If I said it…

I'm afraid he'll laugh at me.

She gritted her teeth, glared at him fiercely, and tried to hide the embarrassment on her face.

"You might not know how to brew tea, but you can at least pour water, right? Go pour me a pot of warm water, quickly!"

"Hmph, all they know is how to boss people around."

Yu Chen snorted and walked out with the small water bottle.

He had forgotten that his job was to be bossed around by her.

Watching him walk away, Fu Xuan sighed helplessly and slumped into the chair behind him.

She was beginning to doubt whether having this guy as her secretary was a wise choice.
