Chapter 662 - Su Yi and Nan Xian V
She did not know anything about that. Therefore, what Nan Xian said seemed to spark some ideas in her.
“What if… I have some freckles on my face too?”
‘It seems that having freckles on one’s face is the trend now in Liu Yun Kingdom. What if… I have some on my face?’
“Alright.”
Nan Xian calmed down. Nobody seemed to notice that he had just exhaled in relief.

Hence, Feng Ruqing was having the shock of her life when Suyi returned to the princess’s manor. She was so shocked that she dropped the book in her hand. She looked at the face that was covered in freckles. She was stunned.
“You… what are you doing?”
“Oh!” Suyi touched the freckles on her face. She said, calmly, “I went out and got this. I’m infected by the others.”
Feng Ruqing was speechless.
‘It’s the first time that I have heard of this—that one can get infected by freckles!’
Suyi seemed not to notice Feng Ruqing’s astonishment. She walked into the manor.
Feng Ruqing turned her head gingerly and looked at the only ordinary girls in her manor.
“What’s wrong with these people recently?”
Qing Ling blinked. She was confused. “It might be a trend. Liu Li, what if we get some freckles on our faces too?”
Liu Li did not know how to respond to that.
Feng Ruqing inhaled deeply. ‘Please don’t do that.
‘My beautiful people!’
“Young Lady, I’m back!”
At that moment, Hong Yu’s voice was heard. Feng Ruqing raised her head and looked. She soon saw a girl in green clothes who was walking toward them with a smile on her face.
Feng Ruqing was about to greet Hong Yu but all of a sudden a wrinkled face came rushing toward her. He opened his hands widely and was about to hug Feng Ruqing’s legs.
But, that face was covered with a lot of freckles. She had never seen anybody with so many freckles.
Soon, Feng Ruqing was having goosebumps. She stretched out her leg and kicked at that old face without any hesitation.
“Who are you? Get lost!”
‘Perhaps she has trypophobia?’
Fifth Elder did not have time to say anything before receiving a kick from Feng Ruqing. There was a footprint on his face. He was greatly wronged.
“Manor lady, I’m Fifth Elder of Fengyun clan.”
“Fifth Elder? Feng Ruqing recovered her senses. She laughed awkwardly. “I’m sorry. Your face is just too scary. I couldn’t bear it…”
Fifth Elder turned his head gingerly. “You said that I’m ugly? There were so many girls after me when I was young. There were so many of them that they would line up for me from this mountain to the other. Am I that ugly?”
Feng Ruqing glanced sympathetically at Fifth Elder’s face that was covered in freckles. “Don’t you know about that yourself?”
She was still frightened now. She was not calm yet.
Fifth Elder’s facial expression changed. He looked like he had just received a big blow. He turned and looked at Hong Yu.
“Am I really that ugly?”
Hong Yu was standing beside Feng Ruqing now. She replied, solemnly, “Young Lady said that you’re ugly, so it must be true. She can’t ever be wrong. Just accept it.”
Fifth Elder’s lips twitched. He had a sudden urge to burst out crying.
He wiped away his sad tears and got up from the floor sadly. “You’re right. Can you forgive me given that I’m so ugly?”
“Forgive you?” Feng Ruqing was slightly surprised. She straightened her body. “Did you burn Fengyun Manor?”
“No.”
“Did you steal my mother’s spirit herbs?”
“No.”
Feng Ruqing was confused. She frowned. “Then, why are you asking for my forgiveness?”
