Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss Chapter 214 - Infatuated

Chapter 214: Infatuated

Seeing E Shulan in such a daze, Ling Chuxi understood that E Shulan did not know of Mu Liufeng’s true identity. Or more accurately—besides herself, no one else knew the truth about Mu Liufeng.
Seeing the smiling Mu Liufeng before her, E Shulan felt that her heart was beating very fast. She had never met a man like this before. She had seen quite a few handsome men, but she had never met one who made her unable to look away.
Ling Chuxi retracted her gaze which was focused on E Shulan and sighed gently. E Shulan was really too unfortunate. How could she actually fancy this pervert? Mu Liufeng and E Shulan were essentially forces on two opposing sides. Even if they weren’t, liking a person like Mu Liufeng was still a tragedy. Recalling how Mu Liufeng had breezily killed his own two subordinates and how he looked when he yelped because he was almost stained by the blood he spilt, Ling Chuxi could still feel the lingering fear she felt back then.
Mu Liufeng’s performance right now was just like any other qualified teacher. He answered any questions that were asked. And when some students requested pointers, he patiently explained their enquiries to them. When a student requested to spar with him, he also taught them well with a smile. That smiling face of his left Ling Chuxi feeling as though she had a toothache whenever she saw it. Who would have thought that what lay behind such a smiling facade was actually such a heartless and cold-blooded true countenance?
“Teacher Mu, I feel that every time I try to release Battle Qi, it feels a little off if I do it like this,” asked a female student with her bright, sparkling eyes as she went to stand beside Mu Liufeng.
“Oh, it’s like this. You should just do this…” Mu Liufeng smiled gently as he demonstrated his instructions. It was a smile that was dazzling enough to overturn countries and topple cities. All the female students surrounding him were indeed bedazzled by it.
After that, there were even more female students who went over to ask Mu Liufeng questions.
Ling Chuxi sat on the stone steps nearby with her chin resting in her cupped hands, looking over at the group of students forming around Mu Liufeng and frowned slightly. Was exactly was he planning? What was his goal in coming to the academy to be a teacher? Judging by Mu Liufeng’s actions, he did not seem to plan to acknowledge her. However, Mu Liufeng had actually used his real name to become a teacher here. Now that she thought about it, he had always been wearing a mask in the past. Even if people knew his name at the previous locations he lived in, they would not associate the Mu Liufeng they knew with this Mu Liufeng despite them being one and the same. At most they would think that it was a mere coincidence that they shared the same first and last name, that’s all.
“Master, what are you looking at?” chirped the fifth princess as she dropped down to sit by Ling Chuxi and look at what she was looking at. She saw that Ling Chuxi was looking at Mu Liufeng who was demonstrating moves to a group of students nearby and paused before asking hesitantly, “Master, it wouldn’t be that you have also come to fancy Teacher Mu, right?”
Ling Chuxi speechlessly swiveled her head around to glare at the fifth princess and said slowly, “Do you think that I, your master, have such bad taste?”
The fifth princess blinked and understood. “That’s right. Master’s taste would not be so bad indeed.” As the fifth princess finished saying this, she leaned in closer to Ling Chuxi and whispered, “Master, let me tell you, I snuck a look just now and saw that E Shulan looks at Teacher Mu differently. Hmph, so the servant of the Deity is actually so superficial.”
Ling Chuxi was a little surprised by the fifth princess’ intuition. She never thought that this little girl would actually notice this.
“All right, now. You don’t have to meddle in such matters. Do you want to come along to the Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce auction next month?” asked Ling Chuxi.
“Of course, I want to go. My Ninth Imperial Brother and I can both request for private rooms. Aiya, I know my Ninth Imperial Brother doesn’t like me, but I want to be with you, master. So, I’ll just be thick-skinned and come over,” said the fifth princess, feeling a little troubled.
On the other hand, Ling Chuxi was stunned. She never thought that the fifth princess was so sensitive to know that Fu Chengyu did not like her.
The fifth princess laughed. “Master, what kind of expression is this?” she asked after she saw Ling Chuxi’s face. Then, she smiled, “Master, the royal family is like this. Where is there such a thing as being polite to your brothers and being close to your sisters?”
