Chapter 271 - Heated Discussions
Yun Qianyu was a little shocked, ‘Xiao Yechen can’t have feelings for me, right?
No, no way, my cousin must be mistaken. I shouldn’t think too much about it, let alone ask Xiao Yechen about it. If I asked him about it and he doesn’t even have this kind of thoughts then it would make things awkward between us.’
“Xiao Yechen, you said you have something to tell me, can’t you tell me now? It’s getting late so I have to go back.”
Yun Qianyu looked up at the sky and saw that it was quickly getting dark. The shops along the streets had already lit up their lanterns. A dim yellow light covered the whole capital, giving it a romantic and alluring look.
However, with what Ye Jia said before, Yun Qianyu suddenly did not know how to face Xiao Yechen. That’s why she wanted to hear what Xiao Yechen had to say.
Xiao Yechen smiled brightly and said, “So what if it gets late? It’s not like you won’t be able to go home. Come, I’ll bring you to a famous teahouse for some snacks. I promise it’ll be worth it.”
After saying that, he turned and mounted his horse elegantly.
With his handsome smiling face, bright sunny disposition, as well as his status as a Prince, Yun Qianyu was sure that a man like Xiao Yechen could attract a lot of ladies. ‘A man like him does not lack women.
Would a person like him develop feelings for me? Even if he had the slightest feelings, he’ll get over it soon.’
With that thought, Yun Qianyu felt a little relieved and led Ye Jia into the carriage. Following Xiao Yechen, their carriage finally came to a famous teahouse in the capital.
Unexpectedly, her Linglong Nine Misfortune chess formation was also set up in this teahouse for people to solve. At this time, many people gathered around the chess table trying to solve the puzzle.
Aside from the people that were trying to solve the puzzle, there were also a lot of people watching. The whole teahouse was very lively because of this new puzzle, and business was great.historical
Yun Qianyu couldn’t help but praise the teahouse owners for their business ideas.
Yun Qianyu also wondered if she should ask the teahouse owner for some reward.
Thinking about this, Yun Qianyu followed Xiao Yechen to the second floor of the teahouse.
Originally she thought that no one would notice her. However, not long after Xiao Yechen reached the second floor, many of the people in the crowd noticed them.
“Isn’t that the eldest lady of the Yun family?”
“Yes, it’s really her.”
“I didn’t expect to see her here. Since she’s here, why don’t we ask her if there’s a solution to this chess game?”
As the crowd discussed among themselves, a skinny looking scholar suddenly came up to Yun Qianyu.
Xiao Yechen preemptively stood in front of the scholar and asked him in a stern tone, “What do you want?”
The thin scholar was startled and said carefully, “I don’t mean any harm. I just want to ask Miss Yun, if there is a solution to this chess game? Or is it a stalemate?”
Xiao Yechen wanted to say something, but Yun Qianyu pulled Xiao Yechen aside, looked at the thin scholar and said, “There’s a solution.”
After saying that, she turned and continued going up.
Hearing this, the crowd on the ground floor continued with excitement.
“If Miss Yun says there is a solution, then there must be a solution. Let’s continue, I won’t stop till I’ve found the solution.”
“Yes, go on. I am confident in solving this game.”
Yun Qianyu ignored the crowd of excited people and followed Xiao Yechen into a private room on the second floor. On their way there, Xiao Yechen couldn’t help asking Yun Qianyu, “Feather, you say there is a solution. What’s the solution?”
Although Xiao Yechen wasn’t as obsessed with chess as Xiao Tianyi, he still had some interest in the game. Naturally, he was also curious about the solution for the Linglong Nine Misfortune Formation.
