Li Wanji had to take the initiative and tried to resolve Ximen Qing's vigilance and hostility with an aggrieved look on her face.

Ximen Qing looked at her, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by coldness. He put down the secret letter in his hand, stood up, and approached Li Wanji step by step.

"Azhi?" he asked coldly, his voice full of doubt.

Ximen Qing's eyes were like knives, appearing particularly sharp in the dim study.

He stood beside Li Wanji, the smell of alcohol and the cold air on his body intertwined together, forming an indescribable sense of oppression.

There was obviously something wrong with this man. Li Wanji knew that something was wrong, but she had to remain calm and continue to deal with Ximen Qing.

"It's me, Qing. What's wrong with you? You drank so much."

She stretched out her hand and tried to support Ximen Qing, but her hand was coldly grabbed by him before she touched him.

"Don't move." Ximen Qing's voice was low and hoarse, as if hiding endless anger and doubts.

Li Wanji felt a pain in the wrist he held, but she did not dare to struggle and could only let him examine her.

Her heart was beating like a drum, but she knew she had to stay calm.

Ximen Qing stared at her for a long time, the doubt and anger in his eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a trace of confusion and puzzlement.

"Aji, didn't I tell you to rest in the room? Why did you come here?" He let go of her hand and his voice became softer.

Li Wanji took the opportunity to pull back her hand, rubbed her wrist, and then smiled as if nothing had happened: "I saw that you haven't come back for so long, I was a little worried, so I came to see you."

Ximen Qing frowned slightly when he heard this, as if he was not completely satisfied with her explanation. But he did not continue to ask questions, but turned back to the table, picked up the secret letter again, and carefully locked it in the drawer.

"Aji, let's go back." He turned around and looked at Li Wanji, and the tenderness in his eyes had returned.

However, that brief moment of doubt and sharpness was like a knife, deeply engraved in Li Wanji's heart.

She realized that Ximen Qing was more complicated and dangerous than she had imagined, and she had to act more carefully to avoid getting into deeper trouble.

The two walked out of the study one after the other, and the servants bowed their heads in greeting. Ximen Qing held Li Wanji's hand, walked through the winding corridor, and returned to their wedding room.

In the room, the candlelight flickered, and the warm yellow light added a touch of warmth to the entire room.

Ximen Qing let go of his hand and let Li Wanji sit on the edge of the bed by herself, while he walked to the window, pushed it open, and let the cool night breeze take away the smell of alcohol on his body.

He poured a cup of spiritual tea for Li Wanji, placed it gently next to her hand, then sat opposite her and looked at her.

"Aji, I never allow anyone else to enter my study. Someone broke in before and it ended badly." Ximen Qing's voice was low and serious, as if he was reminding Li Wanji, or warning her.

Li Wanji took a sip of the spiritual tea, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and tried her best to look calm.

"Qing, they were others, but I am your wife." She raised her head and looked at Ximen Qing with a smile, trying to get away with it.

Ximen Qing looked at her, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He was silent for a while, and then he slowly said: "Azhi, you'd better not go there in the future. It's not a place for you to stay."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Wanji nodded obediently, but her heart was surging.

She knew that Ximen Qing's warning was not groundless, and the secret in the study was obviously inextricably linked to the clues she was looking for.

She decided to hold off for the time being, secretly observing Ximen Qing's every move, while looking for other possible clues.

After all, to enter the top-grade spiritual mine, not only do you need to know the specific entrance location, but how to crack the mechanisms and traps therein is also a big problem.

Seeing her so well-behaved, Ximen Qing didn't say anything more. He stood up, walked to the bed, gently blew out the candle, and then lay down next to Li Wanji.

Li Wanji felt the warm breath coming from the person next to her, but her heart was tangled like a tangled thread.

After a while, Ximen Qing suddenly turned over and faced her, his voice low and gentle: "Azhi, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Li Wanji was slightly startled, then smiled shyly and replied softly: "Qing, tonight is... is our wedding night, I..."

Ximen Qing had a superior appearance, and even though there was murderous intent in his eyes, it could not conceal his outstanding looks.

Those dark brown eyes flickered alluringly in the dim room, as if they could devour everything.

He smiled gently, and that smile was like a spring breeze, which made Li Wanji's heart beat faster again.

In fact, from the very beginning when she planned to marry Ximen Qing, Li Wanji was prepared to face everything, including sleeping with him.

Anyway, she also wanted to collect earth-level bloodline fragments. Ximen Qing was a top-notch existence who could easily defeat a strong man like Wen Daochen. His qualifications must be extraordinary.

I just didn't expect that he was so handsome, it was a pleasant surprise.

Ximen Qing gently raised his hand and stroked her cheek, his voice even gentler: "Azhi, are you nervous?"

Li Wanji felt the warmth from Ximen Qing's fingertips. Although she had a lot of thoughts in her mind, she could only let him lead her at this moment.

She closed her eyes gently, allowing Ximen Qing's kiss to fall on her eyebrows, cheeks, and finally on her lips.

This kiss was like a spring breeze on the face and a gentle rain on the heart. Li Wanji felt Ximen Qing's tenderness and affection, and all the uneasiness and doubts in her heart were temporarily thrown away.

However, just as she was immersed in this tenderness, Ximen Qing suddenly stopped.

He looked at her deeply, then sighed softly, as if he wanted to say something but didn't say it.

Li Wanji opened her eyes and looked at Ximen Qing's handsome face, a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

But she didn't ask any more questions, just lay silently in his arms, feeling his heartbeat and breathing.

After a long time, Ximen Qing spoke again, with a hint of fatigue in his voice: "Azhi, I'm tired. Go to bed early tonight."

When Li Wanji heard Ximen Qing's words, she felt a little disappointed, but she didn't say much.

After all, she is now playing the role of Cang Zhi, a young girl who is not very worldly-wise. On her wedding night, she should be shy and submissive.

You shouldn't seduce him proactively and skillfully like you did with those fellow Taoists.

So, she nodded gently and said softly: "Well, okay, Qing. You are tired, so go to bed early."

After she finished speaking, she gently turned over and lay down with her back facing Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing looked like a strong man, but I didn't expect him to be so useless. Maybe he had some hidden illness?
