Chapter 27: Acting as Heaven's Envoy in Jiangdong Prefecture (Part 5)

"Lan..." 

Si Cang Qing naturally followed his heart and gently kissed those eyes he adored so much.

Feeling the delicate and gentle kisses lingering between his brows and eyes, Feng Lan's body couldn't help but 

tremble lightly, almost holding his breath, cautiously clutching tightly to the clothes of Si Cang Qing, as if a 

careless move would shatter this beautiful dream.

Kissing Feng Lan's face bit by bit, although Si Cang Qing didn't understand love, he was not completely ignorant. 

In his previous life, he had accidentally seen so-called lovers kissing. He also knew that besides that, there were 

other Happy things…

It's just that he has never done it himself!

Everything happened as it should, and like all ordinary lovers, Si Cang Qing wrapped his arms around Feng Lan 

tightly, his lips delicately brushing against his—actually, it wasn't quite a kiss.

They have no experience, so they don't understand these things; they are just relying on intuition and instinct.

Finally feeling that he had lingered long enough in Fenglan's eyes, Si Cang Qing kissed downwards little by little, 

his lips barely brushing over every spot. This touch was not as cold and icy as he himself was, but rather 

extremely gentle.

From beginning to end, Feng Lan had given himself up, allowing the other party to act as they wished. The 

lingering tenderness on his face gave him an illusion that the world would last forever. This illusion, like a needle 

prick, suddenly stabbed into his heart, causing a sharp pain. Accompanied by the tingling brought by the 

tenderness on his face, it stirred in his chest, urgently seeking an outlet…

Feng Lan tightly closed his eyes, two lines of clear tears quietly slid down from the corners of his eyes, falling 

silently.

In this world, there really are people like this. They seem so cold and detached, as if they have transcended the 

human realm. Yet, in a moment of a casual gesture, a fleeting glance, a nonchalant word, or a long, tender kiss, 

the warmth they exude, though less than a mountain stream, makes one feel as if they have experienced the most 

beautiful warmth of the human world. It can even evoke a kind of mad joy and desire…

Want to chase, but unable to chase; want to give up, but unable to give up.

Si Cang Qing continued to gently kiss Feng Lan's cheek, his lips slowly sliding down until they finally reached 

a soft spot.

Feng Lan's whole body trembled, and the hand that was originally gripping the clothes involuntarily loosened, 

replaced by tightly wrapping around Si Cang Qing's waist, his entire body completely going limp and leaning 

against him.

Gently and delicately brushing against Feng Lan's lips, Si Cang Qing didn't go deeper, just holding and lightly 

sucking. This sensation of lips and teeth meeting truly makes one easily intoxicated…

Feng Lan slightly parted his lips, feeling Si Cang Qing sucking on his lips. Suddenly, an inexplicable impulse 

surged within him, and he couldn't help but move his lips, gently kissing back.

A kiss, real and genuine, though not deep, lingered for a long time.

The sky is gone and the earth is flying. This is Feng Lan's only feeling. Everything is handed over to the person 

holding him, and he feels at ease. He doesn't have to think about it or chase after it.

He was completely entranced, not even noticing when someone approached and then left.

But Si Cang Qing knew that the person had no ill intentions and wasn't getting any closer, so he didn't bother 

with it anymore. At that moment, he just wanted to keep kissing the person in his arms; this warm feeling was 

so wonderful that it couldn't be described in words.

For a long time... 

Si Cang Qing slowly pulled away from Feng Lan's lips, his gaze lightly resting on the soft person leaning in his 

arms, their face flushed and breathing erratic.

Reaching out, he gently stroked Feng Lan's eyebrows and eyes, and Si Cang Qing softly said, "Let's go meet 

Qiu Ping Tian!" He had not forgotten the purpose of coming here; the person who had just approached and then 

left was indeed Qiu Ping Tian!

It's time to talk to Qiu Ping Tian. Other matters can wait; there's plenty of time, and they can be done anytime. 

There's no rush.

Breathing gradually steadied, and the redness on his face slowly faded. Feng Lan slightly nodded his head and 

said, "Mm."

Outside the small cottage by the flowing water, in front of the small bridge and flowing stream, a man in a blue 

robe stood with his hands clasped behind his back, quietly looking up at the sky. The pale blue night sky is dotted 

with twinkling stars.

"Qiu Ping Tian," Si Cang Qing stood not far behind the person and immediately recognized this acquaintance 

from a previous meeting.

Qiu Ping Tian quickly turned around, a warm smile on his face, as if he hadn't seen anything just now, his 

expression calm. Only a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "You are... Feng Qing?"

Just now, he only took a quick glance, adhering to the principle of "not looking at what shouldn't be seen," so he 

didn't scrutinize carefully. However, he never expected that the extraordinary and imposing young man in 

Uncle Fu's eyes was this person.

This accident isn't staged. Although they only met once back then, for some reason, the impression was very 

deep. Later, he sent subordinates to investigate his whereabouts, but it was as if this person had never existed. 

"Hmm." 

"I wonder," Qiu Ping Tian smiled gently, completely returning to his usual self, "What business do you have 

with me?"

◇Cang Huan◇Seven Palaces◇

The sound of flowing water, softly resonating.

The private room with closed doors and windows was completely isolated from the outside. 

Qiu Ping Tian looked at Feng Qing with a faint smile and repeated, "Cooperation?"

"Mm," Si Cang Qing still seemed somewhat indifferent, casually leaning back in his chair, "You and I cooperate 

to reap the benefits of the world."

Only to take the benefits of the world? Qiu Ping Tian chuckled, "That's just an exaggeration by outsiders. I'm just 

an ordinary merchant, how could I possibly have the strength and ambition to seize the benefits of the world!"

"You have," Si Cang Qing pointed out directly without beating around the bush, "if you are willing to cooperate 

with me, I will help you achieve your wish." 

"Oh?" Without commenting on the other's boastful words, Qiu Ping Tian merely curled his lips slightly, "So 

what price do you want?" 

"To be at my service."

"Hehe," Qiu Ping Tian laughed brightly, shook his head, and pretended to sigh, "Is there such a deal in this 

world? I've sold myself to you, and you still call it cooperation?" 

Si Cang Qing looked at the other person calmly, and after a moment, finally spoke, "For you, it's a sure profit. 

What I need is your business talent; nothing else matters. As long as we cooperate, you can achieve your wishes."

"Then I really want to know, what does Young Master Feng say my wish is?" Qiu Ping Tian looked at the young 

man in front of him with great interest. He was a barely eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, who could hardly be 

called a man. Although it was clear that he came from an extraordinary background, 

... was this kind of arrogance due to real ability, or just ignorance of the world and looking down on everything?

"Only take the world's benefits," Si Cang Qing said, quoting what the world says about him, "The meaning that 

ordinary people refer to is centered around the word 'profit,' believing that you are dissatisfied with the wealth 

you possess." 

"Then what's your understanding?" Qiu Ping Tian secretly concealed the astonishment in his heart.

"Your desire is not for 'profit,' but for 'gain.' That kind of thing is similar to a sense of achievement.” 

"Haha," Qiuping Tian suddenly laughed heartily, shedding the mask of his originally gentle smile, truly happy, 

"Young Master Feng, there really is someone in this world who understands my heart!"

Si Cang Qing remained calm, silently waiting for the other person to continue speaking.

Qiu Ping Tian took a while to gradually stop smiling, his gaze deeply fixed on the young man before him. The 

cold, hard, perfect features were paradoxically adorned with a small, cute beauty mark, and a pair of clear, cold 

eyes that were empty inside.

"Well then, Young Master Feng, since you know me so well," Qiu Ping Tian said with a faint smile, "what do you 

think my answer to your 'cooperation' request would be?"

"You already agreed." Si Cang Qing replied slowly, his eyes showing interest—interest for someone who is 

fixated on a single thing means he has agreed.

"Hehe, Young Master Feng, you really are very confident!" Qiu Ping Tian neither denied nor confirmed, merely 

smiling faintly, "Why should I agree? Even if I wanted to 'take' the benefits of the world, there's no need to sell 

myself; merchants never make unprofitable deals! Moreover, this is a thankless task."

"I'm not confident," Si Cang Qing said coldly, "but certain." He then added, "Isn't this the very purpose of your 

aid to the people? Or are you saying you don't know my identity?"

"Haha," Qiupingtian laughed heartily again, quickly regaining his composure, "Young Master Feng truly 

understands me deeply!" 

He then stood up, bowed, and said, "Commoner Qiu Ping Tian pays his respects to His Highness the Crown 

Prince, may His Highness live long!"

"Privately, there's no need for formalities." Si Cang Qing then stood up, "Since our cooperation is settled, This 

palace will take leave!" Without looking at the other person again, he led Fenglan away. 

"Your Highness, please wait!" In the brief exchange, Qiu Ping Tian already knew that this crown prince was a 

straightforward person and no longer pretended. "Your Highness, since you specifically came to find this 

commoner, was it just to confirm my intentions?"

Why? there was no explanation. 

Si Cang Qing turned around and looked at Qiu Ping Tian , "This palace said, what this palace wants is your 

business acumen, nothing else. Now is not the time!" and walked away without looking back.

Qiu Ping Tian stood in place for a long time before he let out a low, mocking laugh. A talent for business? He 

had guessed half of it right, but he never expected that this prince, so different from past monarchs, was actually 

planning to employ him, a mere merchant.

It seems that before long, this Canghuan Kingdom will have a new look! 

Watching the direction in which Si Cang Qing disappeared for a long time, Qiu Ping Tian slowly walked back to 

the elegant room, sat in the position where Si Cang Qing had just been, and felt an inexplicable sense of elation. 

Was it because he had achieved his goal?

When one calms down, they can't help but think of the shocking scene they just witnessed…

People say that His Highness the Crown Prince is decisive in killing; people say that His Highness the Crown 

Prince is cold and ruthless; people even say that His Highness the Crown Prince looks down on the world and 

stands above everything…

So many legends were shattered without a trace by the warmth that was accidentally glimpsed just now.

He became somewhat interested because of the challenges in the future, and also because of His Highness 

the Crown Prince, who left a deep impression on him after just these two meetings...

Fingers flicking the abacus unconsciously, Qiu Ping Tian sat in the elegant room with a smile on his face and 

deep thoughts.
