The Rush Back to the Manor

It occurred only for only an instant, but Fan Xian quickly began moving again with a smile, though his voice sounded a bit surprised. "Four years ago?"

The eldest princess grinned, her lips forming an aesthetic curve, as if cursing the young man in secret. She changed the subject, asking, "When did Fei Jie began teaching you?"

Fan Xian knew she was probing him, his expression unchanged., "When I was little." It was a very vague answer, but due to the eldest princess’s status, she couldn’t pry any deeper. She gave a fake laugh and said, "If they didn’t know Fei Jie is your teacher, I think many in the palace would never have realized how close the Fan household was to the Overwatch Council."

Fan Xian’s grip began to relax, though he remained cautious with responses. "I’m not all clear on that either; maybe Father and Mister Fei knew each other in the past."
