Ren Baqian met Qing Lian the next day.
He was giving the new students a lesson when Shi Hu came in to report, "Sir, someone is looking for you. She's a lady from Great Xia and is quite pretty."
"Someone from Great Xia is looking for me?" Ren Baqian asked. "Did she give a reason for coming?"
"She said she has some information for you," Shi Hu replied.
Ren Baqian looked at the time and discovered that the next lesson was coming up, so he said, "Find her a place to wait for me."
A moment later, Shi Hu led Qing Lian to the courtyard, pointed at a spot, and said, "Please wait here."
Then, he stood to the side as his eyes roamed all over Qing Lian's body.
Qing Lian's eyes twitched. They should have given her a proper room to wait in. Why was she made to stand and wait in the courtyard?
In addition, this damn rascal at the side was practically stripping her bare with his roving eyes.
