Chapter 722: Chapter 722: The State Preceptor is also a Green Tea

Quan Jinbei knew that everything Shi Yaoguang did was for her and immediately looked at her with a moved expression.

Shi Yaoguang’s face grew hot under his gaze.

Although they had been married for a year or two, like an old married couple...

Cough, even though they hadn’t consummated the marriage, they had at least been together for quite a while.

What was she doing, blushing so easily?

Shi Yaoguang felt that she couldn’t keep getting surprised and flustered like this.

Zhao Muze watched Shi Yaoguang’s expression and his eyes twinkled.

It seemed she wasn’t very satisfied with Quan Jinbei, perhaps because of his current physical condition.

With that thought, Zhao Muze directly began to probe.

"How did you two meet?"

When Shi Yaoguang heard this, she felt like she might have misheard.

If she hadn’t misheard, why would Zhao Muze ask such a strange question?

This development...

Was a little too bizarre, wasn’t it?

Shi Yaoguang was filled with speechlessness.

Yet, seeing her expression, Zhao Muze even more firmly believed he was right.

The look on Shi Yaoguang’s face clearly indicated that her life with Quan Jinbei was indeed as discordant as he had thought.

Thinking this, he felt his opportunity had arrived.

"Miss Shi, I have already apologized for my previous offense," he said, gazing at her intently, "I think, Miss Shi, being as generous as you are, shouldn’t still be angry with me, right?"

"Of course not," Shi Yaoguang thought to herself, Zhao Muze wasn’t worth staying angry over.

To Zhao Muze, her words carried a different meaning.

He struggled to hide his triumph, and his gaze at Shi Yaoguang was filled with determination.

"Since Miss Shi is willing to be my friend, then I..."

Quan Jinbei cut him off, "When did she say she wanted to be your friend?"

Zhao Muze had his own interpretation.

With righteous indignation, he said, "Since Miss Shi didn’t deny or blame me, we are naturally friends now."

With that, he even had the audacity to counter with a question, "What... does the Little Prince think that Miss Shi shouldn’t have friends? Or perhaps, the Little Prince believes a woman should stay in the inner courtyard and not show herself in public?"

Continuing, he assumed a sympathetic expression for Shi Yaoguang, "Miss Shi, a beauty like you, naturally born with such good looks, should enjoy the finest treatment. What does this mean? He hasn’t taken you to heart at all. If he treats you like this, are you still going to keep him in your heart?"

Quan Jinbei laughed in exasperation, "What have I done to her?"

"You even want to prevent her from making friends; I really doubt your intentions."

Zhao Muze said, wearing an expression of disdain, "I don’t think you love her at all. If you did, knowing that your body is not well, you should keep your distance from her instead of pretending to be deeply in love and insisting on staying by her side."

"That’s not true affection."

Upon hearing this, Quan Jinbei appeared thoughtful, "You say that what I’m showing isn’t deep affection, so I’m really curious to know, what is deep affection?"

"Of course, deep affection is..."

Zhao Muze said, putting his hands behind his back and assuming the decorum of a gentleman, "True affection is love at first sight, emotion at second..."

Once he had finished his grand speech, Shi Yaoguang nodded in agreement.

"I think you’re absolutely right."

Zhao Muze immediately showed delight, while provocatively glancing at Quan Jinbei.

Unfortunately, Quan Jinbei did not display the flush of vexed embarrassment Zhao Muze expected.

But that didn’t matter.

As long as he secured a tangible advantage, that was enough.

Thinking this, he felt even more smug inside.

Unexpectedly, Quan Jinbei suddenly asked, "How do you know what she and I have been through together?"

Zhao Muze was taken aback, "What are you saying?"

"I’m saying... how do you know about how she and I were together?" Quan Jinbei said, a look of suspicion on his face, "You couldn’t have inquired beforehand, could you?"

Zhao Muze, seeing how earnestly he spoke, for a moment couldn’t tell whether he was serious or not.

Before confirming the truth, he still tried to argue for himself, "I wasn’t talking about you; I was speaking about myself."

As he spoke, he blushed with embarrassment.

However.

He forgot.

His appearance was still a mess.

The so-called refined gentleman, the so-called shy and timid.

It was all just his own imagination.

In Shi Yaoguang’s eyes...

No.

To be precise, he had no image at all.

Although saying it directly might be a bit hurtful.

But that’s the undeniable truth.

Zhao Muze, seeing Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei’s reactions, even if he didn’t want to admit it, had to accept.

He had made a terrible move.

But it didn’t matter, he still had a chance.

He could tell.

Shi Yaoguang was still a maiden to this day.

State Preceptor, State Preceptor, without real skills, how can one be a State Preceptor?

Since he could recognize that Shi Yaoguang was still untouched, he naturally could imagine how incompetent Quan Jinbei must be.

Otherwise, how could they be married for such a long time, and Shi Yaoguang still be a maiden?

Thinking that Quan Jinbei was impotent, he suddenly felt a sense of exhilaration.

Fortunately, Shi Yaoguang didn’t know what he was thinking, otherwise...

Heavenly thunder would strike him down.

However, even if she didn’t know what he was thinking at the moment, through Zhao Muze’s subsequent probing, she gradually realized his intentions.

Quan Jinbei naturally knew his thoughts as well.

Upon realizing his purpose, Quan Jinbei wasn’t prepared to let him off easily.

"It seems that the National Master doesn’t believe his wife’s words,"

As he said this, he conjured a fireball in his hand.

As soon as the words dropped, the fireball smashed towards him.

Zhao Muze hadn’t expected Quan Jinbei to be so powerful.

Caught off guard, he was struck squarely by the flame.

"Ah~"

"It’s so hot, so hot——"

Zhao Muze couldn’t help but wail, but Quan Jinbei showed no intention of extinguishing the fire.

He could only look at Shi Yaoguang pleadingly, hoping she would help him.

But alas.

Shi Yaoguang was a person without sentiment.

Or rather, she was without sentiment towards him.

She just watched indifferently as he suffered.

Zhao Muze had no choice but to jump into the sea.

Unexpectedly, even after jumping into the water, he couldn’t extinguish the flames on his body.

He had to endure the agony of being burned by the flames until they extinguished on their own.

By then, he had nearly lost half his life.

When Zhao Muze stood up from the ground looking disheveled, he saw that both Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei’s looks towards him had changed.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t seem to care, but Quan Jinbei mocked, "Didn’t you want to steal my wife? Are you giving up before you even start?"

Hearing this, Zhao Muze felt a burning sensation on his face.

He looked defiantly at Quan Jinbei, "What right do you have to question me? What qualifications do you have to question me? If it weren’t for your incompetence, why would I even entertain such thoughts?"
