With Ye Xuan's departure, the atmosphere within the inner courtyard seemed to heat up even more.
However, this had nothing to do with Ye Xuan since he had already achieved his purpose for coming here.
"How come you followed me out?"
After stepping out of the inner courtyard, Ye Xuan stopped and turned to look at Mo Qinglian.
Mo Qinglian blinked and mustered up the courage to say, "Young Master, do you really intend to take the Red Sparrow Saintess as your maid?"
Ye Xuan couldn't help but laugh, realizing this was the issue at heart.
"She still lacks quite a bit if she wants to become my maid."
"How so?"
"Are you feeling threatened?"
Ye Xuan looked at Mo Qinglian with an amused smile.
Mo Qinglian's cheeks turned slightly red as she whispered, "Then Qing Lian will definitely work harder and strive to become the Young Master's maid first."
"Go on, I'll walk by myself," Ye Xuan said with a slight smile.
"Yes!" Mo Qinglian obediently returned to the inner courtyard.
