Chapter 298: Never Expected You to Be That Kind of Grand Tutor (3)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Looking at the Dark Guard’s departing profile, an inner turmoil bubbled within Ji Fengyan.

“Where shall we go for our meal?” Without the Dark Guard around, Xing Lou was gazing at Ji Fengyan with a much warmer expression.

Ji Fengyan silently turned her head toward Xing Lou.

This fellow really wanted to have a meal with her?

He left Ji Fengyan with no choice; she couldn’t just leave Grand Tutor out in the cold. Xing Lou’s past actions had always struck Ji Fengyan as rather strange, but... he had indeed helped her a lot. Thus, she could only take a deep breath and accept her fate. She led Xing Lou around the capital in search of a suitable place to eat.

Unfortunately...

Ji Fengyan did not consider a crucial problem!

Xing Lou’s face was instantly recognizable by everyone in the entire Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon.

As Ji Fengyan walked side by side with Xing Lou along the capital’s main street, the sea of astonished gazes made her feel a suicidal impulse.

Heartfelt greetings of “Lord Grand Tutor” sounded repeatedly, mixed with the sharp looks shot in Ji Fengyan’s direction. Every step taken made Ji Fengyan feel like she was a heinous criminal. Her back was nearly shredded to bits by the public’s piercing glares.

Everyone respected Xing Lou’s majestic manner and dared not go near him. The crowd automatically parted for Xing Lou, but after standing to the side, the gathered masses would start whispering and pointing at Ji Fengyan.

Ji Fengyan had absolutely no inclination to know what they were saying.

She only knew that this normal-length street felt like the longest walk she had ever undertaken.

As the sky darkened into night, the capital came alight with lanterns. Under the candle-lit shadows, Xing Lou walked at a moderate speed, forcing Ji Fengyan to match his leisurely pace.

After much effort, Ji Fengyan finally found a posh-looking restaurant in the capital. She smilingly ‘invited’ Xing Lou in.

The moment the restaurant boss saw Xing Lou, he pulled out all the stops to welcome this honored guest.

There was totally no need for Ji Fengyan to say anything. The boss personally led Ji Fengyan and Xing Lou to the restaurant’s best room. Even ordering was unnecessary. With an idolizing gaze at Xing Lou, he ordered his servants to immediately start preparing the most premium gourmet delicacies.

Ji Fengyan sat obediently at the side, studiously being an invisible person.

When only she and Xing Lou remained in the room, that strange silence made Ji Fengyan feel somewhat awkward.

Both she and Xing Lou didn’t speak.

Worse still, since Xing Lou sat down, those fine-looking eyes never left her even for a second.

Ji Fengyan, “...”

If he stared any longer, she would misunderstand once again...

It was a good thing the restaurant staff dared not dawdle. They presented the various delicacies after only a while. However, after the boss presented a set of cutlery specially prepared for the Grand Tutor...

Ji Fengyan felt like crying.

Seeing the set of shining forks and knives arranged before her, Ji Fengyan felt completely defeated.

She hated forks and knives!

However, as Ji Fengyan was deciding whether she should request a pair of chopsticks from the restaurant boss.

Xing Lou, who was originally seated across from her, suddenly stood up. With a single stride, he came over and sat right beside her. Picking up her set of cutlery, he transferred the delicious food on the table unto his own plate and patiently sliced it into bite-sized portions. He then arranged the food meticulously before placing it before Ji Fengyan.
