Chapter 456 Jing Yuan is not still sleeping

She turned around and faced Lin Yu directly, crossing her arms across her chest. Her tone contained both a hint of resentment and a hint of seriousness. "Lin Yu, stop messing around. What exactly are you looking for me for this time? Let's get down to business. I don't want to keep pestering you here."

"Taibushi has been very busy these days and has no time to chat with you about love."

Lin Yu was still as relaxed and carefree as ever. He raised his head slightly, his eyes fell on Fu Xuan, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "You are busy with your official business, and I appreciate mine. What's the difference?"

"What do you appreciate?" Fu Xuan asked.

"Of course I admire your pretty face. If possible, I really want to kiss your cheek while you are busy working."

Hearing this, Fu Xuan's face instantly turned red again.

She stared at Lin Yu with shame and annoyance, "What on earth do you want to say? Tell me now!"

"Fu Xuan, you are still so impatient. Actually, I came here this time because I have a question to ask you."

“Hurry up and tell me!” Fu Xuan took a step back, fearing that Lin Yu would pick her up again.

Lin Yu looked at Fu Xuan's actions, just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

When Fu Xuan saw Lin Yu's smile, she couldn't help but imagine that Lin Yu was thinking about something strange. Perhaps it was his slightly teasing look, or perhaps it was his bold move just now that made her have such an association.

It didn't matter that he thought about it. Fu Xuan only felt his face getting hot again, and the red color became more and more obvious, as if blood was about to drip out.

She quickly lowered her head, trying to hide her shyness, but her panicked eyes and slightly trembling hands betrayed her inner unrest at the moment.

The whole room was filled with a subtle and ambiguous atmosphere, which made Fu Xuan feel nervous and a little overwhelmed.

“Isn’t the martial arts ceremony being held again these days?” Lin Yu looked serious and asked Fu Xuan with focused eyes.

"What I want to ask is, it's been two weeks, why hasn't the 64 to 32 round ended yet?" He frowned slightly, a hint of confusion on his face, "I haven't found my opponent yet."

After hearing Lin Yu's question, Fu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then a gleam of thought flashed in his eyes.

"The situation of this martial arts performance is rather special. As you know, there have been undercurrents among various forces recently, and the holding of the martial arts performance has also been interfered with by some external factors. The progress of the competition has been delayed because some unexpected situations occurred in the early stages of the competition, which require time to investigate and deal with."

Lin Yu frowned and asked, "What kind of unexpected situation can delay the whole process for so long?"

Fu Xuan paced slowly, thinking as he spoke, "The results of several competitions have caused controversy. It is suspected that external forces have interfered with the fairness of the competition. In addition, some contestants experienced unexplained physical discomfort after the competition. This has also attracted our great attention. In order to ensure the fairness of the martial arts ceremony and the safety of the contestants, we have to act cautiously and carefully check every link."

"What's more, recently the Ten Kings have been sending people everywhere, as if they are trying to capture someone. They act without any scruples, making Luofu a mess." Fu Xuan's tone was filled with dissatisfaction and worry. "You can see their hurried figures passing by in the streets and alleys. The people of Xianzhou are also in a panic. The originally peaceful Luofu has become tense because of their troubles."

"I really don't know what Jing Yuan is doing. As the general of Luofu, he doesn't do anything to curb the chaos in Luofu." Fu Xuan shook his head lightly, with a trace of helplessness and confusion on his face. "On weekdays, he looks quite...reliable. No, not really reliable. Why is it that at this critical moment, he doesn't make any big moves? Does he have other considerations? Or is he tied up by something?"

"Wait...at this time...he...can't he be still asleep?" Fu Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

At this time, the clock hands had pointed to a relatively late time. According to Jing Yuan's usual habit, he should have started dealing with various affairs by this time.

Fu Xuan couldn't help but wonder in her heart. She wondered if Jing Yuan had encountered some special situation, which caused him not to show up at this time, or if he had his own unique judgment and plan for the current situation, but had not put it into action yet.

Her fingers gently slid across the paper, muttering to herself, "Are these unexpected situations coincidental, or are they intentional? If someone is deliberately making trouble, what is their purpose? Do they want to disrupt the martial arts ceremony again and affect the stability of Luofu?"

Thinking of this, Fu Xuan's eyes became more determined.

She decided that she couldn't wait passively any longer and she had to take the initiative.

She put down the information and prepared to find Jing Yuan to ask him in person about his views and plans on the current situation.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!" Fu Xuan shouted at Lin Yu.

...

When Fu Xuan and Lin Yu arrived at the Shen Ce Mansion, they were told that Jing Yuan had gone out early in the morning and had not returned yet.

Fu Xuan became more and more confused. Although Jing Yuan usually acted casually, his whereabouts were so mysterious at such a critical time, which was really abnormal.

"Where on earth did this guy go? Why is he still nowhere to be seen at this time?" Fu Xuan muttered in a low voice, his eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and worry.

After a while, Fu Xuan still hadn't seen Jing Yuan. Her patience was finally exhausted and her emotions burst out all at once.

"Damn it... Jingyuan, I hate you!" She gritted her teeth and said fiercely. This sentence seemed to be an outlet for her pent-up emotions, and contained her helplessness about Jingyuan's absence at this time.

"Lin Yu, you go back first. I want to see when this guy can come back." Fu Xuan said as he quickly brought a stool from a distance.

Without hesitation, she placed the stool in the middle of the road leading to the gate of Shen Ce Mansion, and sat on it, as if she was waiting for something to happen. Anyone who passed by here could see Fu Xuan sitting there angrily, with a firm and stubborn look in her eyes, as if she would not give up until she achieved her goal.

"Are you willing to let me go? Aren't you bored here alone?" Lin Yu asked jokingly, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

"Bored? Not bad. I often stare blankly for at least a few hours."

In fact, Lin Yu didn't really believe that anything would really happen to Jing Yuan.

After all, Jing Yuan has always acted prudently and has great prestige in Luofu.

However, Jing Yuan, who always replied to messages within seconds, did not reply to Lin Yu at this moment. This was indeed a bit abnormal, and Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

He looked at Fu Xuan's stubborn look and knew that he wouldn't be able to persuade her for the time being.

"Then I'll leave?" Lin Yu stood up and prepared to leave. He deliberately slowed down his steps, as if expecting Fu Xuan to call him. One step, two steps, Fu Xuan still didn't call him.

"I'm really leaving!" Lin Yu shouted loudly this time, his voice echoing in the air, but Fu Xuan still ignored him.

Lin Yu stopped and looked back at Fu Xuan.

I saw Fu Xuan staring at me with a smile on his face, with a hint of provocation in his eyes, as if saying, why don't you go away.

An inexplicable impulse surged in Lin Yu's heart, and he strode towards Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan, who had a smile on her face, disappeared in an instant. Her legs were tense, as if she had noticed Lin Yu's intention. "You...don't come over!" Fu Xuan tried to call Lin Yu, with a hint of panic in her voice.

But how could Lin Yu be obedient now?

Lin Yu came in front of Fu Xuan so fast that Fu Xuan had no time to dodge.

He grabbed her shoulders with both hands without hesitation, and without giving Fu Xuan a chance to react, Lin Yu went straight to kiss her on the mouth.

At this moment, Fu Xuan's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment, and everything around him became quiet.

"Why do you always like to attack..."

“I am not satisfied...”

...
