Li Ruoxuan looked up and down at her apparel and reminded her calmly, “Despite being a maid, you look more like a master than me.”

Qi Qingyao suddenly remembered her current identity and hurriedly bowed. With feigned wariness, she said, “Your Excellency, please go ahead. This servant will follow behind you.”

Li Ruoxuan lifted his head and walked in front of her. He glanced with satisfaction at the little servant who was quickly keeping pace from the corner of his eyes.

Qi Qingyao followed behind the Lord and resentfully felt she had never been so aggrieved. She became Lu Yan’s maid last time and now she was pretending to be this guy’s maid! Why was it that others transmigrated to be young ladies, but her transmigration had always been this tragic? At first glance, it looked like she had a bunch of big shots around her, but the truth was she had been letting them walk over her!’

Was it easy for her!?

She resignedly followed Li Ruoxuan into Songhe Inn.

Qi Qingyao put on a pompous facade under the protection of a powerful person and yelled at the waiter, “Servant, His Excellency wants to drink and eat, so get us a nice room and serve all the signature dishes in this restaurant.”

The servant knew the State Preceptor, but did not recognize him with an eyepatch. So, he was a little dazed at the sight of this Lord with an eyepatch when he rushed forward, trying to discern his identity.

Qi Qingyao added, “Oh, that’s right. I also want your house wine! Any recommendations?”

Li Ruoxuan said, “Their house wine is Bodhi Crisp.”

Qi Qingyao clapped her hands. “The name sounds good. Two pots of Bodhi Crisp then!”

The shopkeeper was watching this seemingly gentle Lord who had only one eye, and he was also dazed for a second. However, feeling the extraordinary aura around him, and his servant that looked very familiar…

“T-this sir…”

Li Ruoxuan frowned slightly, his gaze gradually darkening. “You can’t even recognize me anymore?”

As soon as the formidable voice resounded, the shopkeeper immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head. “R-recognize? You’re the State Preceptor!”

“Since you know who I am, hurry up and take us upstairs to a private room, hmm?” Li Ruoxuan gave the order coldly.

The shopkeeper quickly got up and personally led Li Ruoxuan’s group upstairs. “Y-y-y-yes, please head upstairs, Your Excellency!”

The other guests in the main hall of Songhe Inn witnessed this scene and were stunned the entire time.

After the group went upstairs,

The other guests in the main hall finally reacted.

“T-the State Preceptor!!”

The man with a black eye patch on his right eye turned out to be the State Preceptor. It was indeed as the rumors described—the State Preceptor had been blinded in his right eye?!

“Oh my God, the State Preceptor actually came to eat in our restaurant.”

Some people even lamented.

“As expected of the State Preceptor’s maid. It goes without saying that the State Preceptor is formidable, but even the maid from their residence is so arrogant!”

…

Qi Qingyao was very aggressive today and did not care about the people in the main hall. After going upstairs and being led to the private room by the shopkeeper, she plopped down in her seat without invitation.

The shopkeep stood to one side and waited to serve.

He looked at the little maid with a bun sitting casually next to the State Preceptor, and his heart was about to leap out from his mouth.

He kept on muttering to himself that this maid must have lost her mind. She actually had no manners and sat beside the State Preceptor! This was bad, there surely would be bloodshed! With the State Preceptor’s temperament, he would no doubt cut down this little maid right away. He had to go down immediately and get someone to collect the corpse!

However, after waiting for the wine to be served, approximately the time it took to burn a stick of incense,

Nothing happened in the private room.

The State Preceptor sat there quietly, and the little maid sat next to him, propping her chin with a hand.

The whole atmosphere…seemed strange in the eyes of the shopkeeper.

Eh.

What was going on?
